FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 19-17 - 1948 Qfhiturial HE school year has passed quickly and successfully. The addition of the hall, with the new senior school locker-rooms below it, has been such a boon for so many activities that we have often wondered how we got along at all without it-morning assembly, gymnastics, scout and cub meetings, dramatics rehearsals, choir practices, movie shows, basketball, intra-mural games, and, to top all, lunch! The re-establishment of the Sixth Form made its influence felt in the sports successes, which led our football seniors to tie with Yllestmount in a three-corner, home-and-home series with it and Three Rivers, and our hockey seniors to an all-but unbeaten record of keenly contested matches. We are indebted to the Guest of Honour at our Academic Prize-giving, Dr. F. Cyril James, Principal and Vice-Chancellor of McGill University, for penning the thought- provoking Foreword to this year's issue of the magazine. In his final sentence he writes of the weaving into our characters of the traditions of the school-and, as we remember that these traditions have been a-making now for precisely forty years-many of our fathers had a hand in making themAwe must take the greater care to see that we are worthy of them, and worthy also by the giving of our best steadily to enrich them as the school enters its fifth decade of life. It was a great joy to welcome Mr. Bernard Hollowood.internationally known cartoonist and member of Punch Editorial Board, and Mr. lVilliams to the school for a brief luncheon visit. Mr. Hollowood very generously consented to contribute a sketch for this magazine. and we feel very privileged indeed to include The New Boy . Many thanks, Mr. Hollo- wood, and our best wishes for a wonderful trans-Canada tour! OPENING OF THE NEW HALL The first major assembly of our school year was marked by the special ceremony of the official opening of the new hall by the Honorary Chairman of the Board of Governors, Mr. G. Miller Hyde. Mr. Hyde, who was Board Chairman and largely responsible for raising of funds immediately prior to the erection of the new wing, paid high tribute to members of the board, parents and old boys of the school for their hearty co-operation in making possible this very essential addition to the school. Mr. A. R. Gillespie, Chairman of the Board, made special reference to the magnificent work of Mr. T. H. P. Molson, Chairman of the Building Committee, and of Mr. F. G. Rutley, whose practical experience and assistance were quite invaluable. The ceremony was attended by members of the Board, staff and boys of the school, and representatives of the press. l9l
