PM ..:lK-.------'Ns-.--- tx Qihiturial An outstanding new development in the history of the School has been the formation this year of an Old Boys' Association. Through the enthusiasm and hard work of a number of younger Old Boys a yery successful dinner was held in the School Hall just before Christmas, and the committee there appointed, with the aid of the Board of Governors, has since made the Uld Boys' Association a happy reality. Each member will receive a copy of the School Magazine and so keep in touch with developments within the school, and the Old Boys' Section has been greatly expanded. XYe all look forward to great things from the work of the Association. The School hockey teams this year were Very successful, in winning the Timmins Trophy and the Raymond Trophy. This was due greatly to their fine spirit and sportsmanship. The early practices at the Yerdun Auditorium were also very valuable in producing fine players. VVe would like here to express our thanks to the Right Honourable Arthur Meighen, who wrote the inspiring Foreword to this Magazine. Our best wishes go to all the Seniors who graduate from School this year. May they have happy and successful lives. l7l
