EDITORIAL Une ot' the most valuable of High School Activities is the 'I'nfI1'fr work. Every student has the opportunity to enjoy this activity and to display ability and skill. The hard work of assembling a year- book provides valuable training for the Tatlvr staff. They know from experience that each office has its share of responsi- bility and leadership. To shoulder this responsibility successfully, perseverance to complete a difficult task must be dis- played. There are many discouragements. These must be met and overcome to reveal capability, for the laggard is soon left behind. We believe that to every member of the Taflcr staff this experience is valuable training to prepare us to meet our responsibilities as citizens of a democracy. All students may contribute to the school year-book, and competition is al- ways keen, for only efforts of superior 18 qua ity attain a distinguished position in ntlcr. Additional incentive to lllltlil- is provided by the natural desire of our tive seeing one's name in print. The community as a whole finds the year-book a source of information con- cerning the life of High School students. The literary sections provide interesting essays and poems: the sports section shows the pupils' athletic attempts and achieve- mentsg the Activities section portrays all phases of extra-curricular interests. Each student considers a copy of the Taflcr invaluable. In later years it be- comes a precious document to each individual, recording his own or his fellow's achievements or shortcomings during the Five Best Years of His Life. Many have worked hard to produce a Tafler to be proud of this year and we hope that you, the readers, will derive endless pleasure from glancing through its pages. Amelia Gerhardt. THE TATLER

Pk PI' rk PI! ,lf To everyone who took pictures for the Tatler we extend our sincerest apprecia- tion. Thanks to Jerry Mansfield, Ronald Prickett, Russell Mannell, and those precious few who contributed snapshots. FK YI! PIC DIG DIC After much coaxing and scolding we had ample material to choose from. All efforts were certainly appreciated. We regret that all contributions could not be printed but that is impossible. If your bit didn't make it, better luck next time. wk PIC PIC Pk Pk A few weeks ago a certain high school teacher in Australia wished to secure pen pals for his pupils in other parts of the British Empire. He composed a letter, added a list of names and addresses and addressed it thus: To the Headmaster, Secondary Schools, Washington, D.C., Canada The postmaster at Washington ob- viously concluded that the letter was meant for Canada. After some contempla- tion he naturally concluded that Tillson- burg had the most important high school in Canada, so here it came. We consider ourselves flattered. Thank you, Washington! TO OUR ADVERTISERS We wish to thank our advertisers, whose faithful financial support provides a most necessary spoke in the wheel that makes up an all-round successful Tatler. With this edition we hope to justify their support. Advertising Department: Jack Culp, William Eichenberg, Noel Rokeby, Lois Law, Jane McQueen. 20 SCHOLARSHIPS The academic record of the graduating class of 1948 was embellished by the attainments of Donald Eckel. Don carried off a Dominion-Provincial Scholarship for Grade XIII, valued at four hundred dol- lars, and brought further honour to him- self and the school by winning the Third Carter Scholarship. Congratulations, Don, and best wishes for continuing success at McMaster. Another Dominion-Provincial Scholar- ship of one hundred dollars was won by Donald Sykes, of last year's Grade XII class, who is using his scholarship to con- tinue his studies in Grade XIII. Here's hoping for more laurel crowns, Don: last year's sits gracefully on your brow. IN MEMORIAM EVERETT NORMAN BARTLETT Last June the students and staff of Tillsonburg District High School were saddened by the news that a well-known student, Everett Bartlett, had drowned on June 13, while swimming in an unused reservoir. He was swimming with other boys at about four o'clock in the afternoon. One of his companions, seeing him in distress, tried unsuccessfully to save his life at the risk of his own. Surviving Everett besides his parents, Mr. and Mrs. C. M. Bartlett, is one sister, Bernice, who lives in London. Seventeen years of age, a member of First Baptist Church, Everett was a mem- ber of Grade 10A in the High School. At the school he was well known for his cheerful disposition, ready smile, and conscientious, industrious application to his work. His untimely and tragic death was felt profoundly by all his friends at Tillsonburg District High School. THE TATI.ER
