HE school year is drawing rapidly to a close and once more we come to the time when Acta Studentium goes to press. It is in one way especially oppor- tune that our magazine should be published in May as only then can anything like a complete picture of the year's activities be given. During 1954-5 our program has been, as usual, many-sided and extensive, and the achievements in all depart- ments have been many. ln the tirst place, our enrolment is the highest in our history. Several years ago it seemed that the building was holding all the students it could accommodate but with the addition of a certain measure of staggering to our organization we have managed to crowd another hundred or two into the already crowded classrooms. This has meant an increased load per teacher so that today we are asking each member of the Staff to handle from twenty or thirty percent more students than three or four years ago. School is running continuously from 8.40 a.m. till 4.10 p.m. each day. The adjustments of time-table have involved both teachers and students in a certain measure of inconvenience but all have realized the need of these adjustmnts and have co-operated in a splendid fashion to maintain the smooth operation of our organization. As for the future, I can foresee even more drastic requirements if we are to be able to provide instruction for the students of this district within the limits of our present accommodation. I am sure, however, that the necessary co-operation will be forthcoming to make it possible to maintain our school on the high level of scholarship and achievement to which it has attained. In the second place, in spite of the handicap of a longer school day the usual routine of extra-curricular activities has been carried through with pre-eminent success. Our operetta this year was up to the high standard of other years and met with wide approval from those privileged to see it. In athletics wheth-er in Rugby, gymnastics, basketball or track and held our students have shown pre-eminence. The outstanding event, of course, was the selection of jim Homer as Captain of the Canadian Track team visiting Australia. This has carried the name of Vaughan Road clear across Canada to the antipodes nd beyond. Then I must mention the fact that Mac Keith has won provincial honours in the field of gym- nastics. For the second year in succession our rugby teams have won a double championship. Our programme of interform games and competitions has included all the major sports and has given opportunities of no mean order to every boy and ACTA STUDENTIIIM Page9 girl in this school to participate in organized games. The Girls' Club have also been active having achieved especial success in the social service program at Christ- mas time. Our debating schedules have been more extensive than ever and this year our team has won first place among the Collegiate Institutes and High Schools of York County. In all these departments and many others of which space forbids the mention outstanding merit has been won for the school. It remains to be seen whether our pupils will. win scholastic success as well. But, if the record of other years is any gage, I am confident that that high record will be maintained and that the vast majority of the students will win good stand- ing in the june examinations. Further, I must refer to the very harmonious rela- tions which on the whole have prevailed among the students and their teachers. That so much concentrated and prolonged effort could be made on the part of so many with such smoothness and harmony is deserving of a high tribute indeed. It is my hope that all our students may have learned by their stay in Vaughan Road only that which will contribute most to the upbuilding of character and usefulness. In conclusion I should like to refer to the fact that all loyal citizens of the British Empire are vieing with one another to do honour to His Majesty King George Y. The youth of our country recognize in him a lofty nobility of character and a high standard of usefulness which our patriotic zeal teaches us to emulate. I am sure I speak for all in the Vaughan Road Collegiate Institute in pledging on behalf of us all a d-eep abiding loyalty to those principles of manhood, service, and freedom and to those forces of peace. and goodwill for which His Majesty has ever stood and in which he is so perfectly our example. .....g.3Qj,g,.... TO-MORROW To-day may be gloomy and leaden. VVith clouds that go sullenly by. Like convicts whose memories deaden, Or outcasts whose memories die. The present may bring some gray sorrow. Some swampland through which we must grope. But ever the hand of to-morrow Is painting a landscape of hope. The past may arise in our slumber- The past with its pitiful scroll. Its human mistakes without number, Its slips and their merciless toll- The past with its revels, its whirling Of day and delirious night: To-morrow is ever unfurling A page that is spotless and white. The past? It is gone with its sorrow. The present? It flits like a wraith. And ever we bow to-morrow, The shrine of our hope and our faith. The past cannot loan if we borrow. The present is dancing away, But dreams of a spotless to-morrow Will whiten the page of to-day.

How proud we are to belong to a school so widely known. so highly respected, hardly surpassed in reputation by any school in the pro- vince. Is our pride justifiable Let us review together the activities of the past year and assure ourselves that our reputation is not ill-founded, that our school is deserving of the high regard in which it is held. At no time has Vaughan been without its brain trust, its band of hard- working and successful scholarship seekers. Last year three of our I'edagogues' Prides fBert Gerstein, Grace Nichols and Art Heywood captured tive scholarships. A detailed account of their achievements is given elsewhere. The departmental standing of our less brilliant students, let me assure you, will stand your most careful and critical scrutiny. ln setting before you an account of our athletic prowess l shall be running two risks: the risk of tiring you with a long recital of battle and victory and the risk of omitting in that recital much that is worthy of mention. Rather than run into either danger let me again refer you to the pages of our chronicle where you may find the Saga of jim Homer and the accounts of royal battles on the field of sport, nobly fought and nobly won. This year has set for our school a new record in dramatic achievement. The presentations this year added to an already long list of high-standard perform- ances. The continued interest and the unqualified praise given to this activity are ample attestations to the esteem in which our efforts are held. It is worthy of mention that this year a group of aspiring Thespians, not content with the limited scope offered their talents by the operetta, resolved on the presentation of an evenings entertainment of strictly dramatic work. For every detail of this venture the students took the entire responsibility. The marked success of this performance was a tribute not only to the intelligence and independence of the stu- dents themselves, but also to the enthusiasm of the teachers who have encouraged in the students a sincere and appreciative interest in dramatic art. In the review of school activities l feel that I. a mere male. can hardly do .H D Q M . . 5 . . ,v. I 2.1, N I '1 1 J 1 , 4 J I 1 1 ' , , . ' , .,o' 4 , 1 , 0 -352, L ' 1. , S. gg- ' -1 QJ.

It is sufficient to say that this club forms a unit in our school life, which every girl loves and every boy respects. Outside our school the club has gained an enviable reputation for its valuable and un- assuming philanthropic work. The Art Club is a perpetual accessory before the fact'7. Not a function takes place but our Art Club heralds it with clever and brilliantly effective posters-the work of a band of willing and talented young artists. I have not nearly reached the last of the school's many interests. The Literary Society which succeeds in being of inestimable practical value to every student, the Boys' and Girls' Athletic Clubs, the Camera Club, the Radio Club- all are worthy of much more space than an editorial will allow. And how may we account for the tradition of our school-a tradition of accomplishment in every phase of school activity? First, we are an ambitious school. Our students feel the urge to belong to the winning team: to be in the cast of a successful play: t owrite, if possible, perfect examination papers. A selfish urge. maybegbut necessary for achievement. And secondly, we are a unified school-our principal, staff, and student-body are ONE. We have learned that without unity, without co-operation nothing can be done. With it-who knows? And, lastly, our school has for its leaders a capable principal and an energetic staff, devoted to the interests of the student-body. We have been taught to practise co-operation, to respect knowledge, to value achievement. So togetheneprincipal, teachers and students-we have built up the tradition of Vaughan Road. May it continue to grow--a tradition, respected, honourable, and enduring in fame. Larry Gough. 2212-Oli MEN Deep have I thought of the men that I find Come surging ever before my mind, Some be rich and some be poor And some go begging from door to door, One is a king clothed in purple and gold, His neighbour a beggar, sick and old But they all are men. A merchant passes, heavy with wealth, A youthful idler, filled with himself, Now a poor man left alone, And now a poet, starved to the bone. Some are weak, some are strong, Some do right, some do wrong, But they all are men. Yes, they all are men, with the sorrows of men, And some meet the strife with the courage of men, But be my neighbour, peasant or king A foe, or a friend with gifts to bring, He may be discouraged, his friends may be few But I'll give him my hand and see him through, For they all are men. 3 B.

This ceremony, which plays so large a part in the life of the graduating class, was dignified and impressive. Mr. Evans. the staff and school hoard' and speaker, Dr. Cody, President of the University of Toronto, occupied the platform. This year students were especially succesful in winning scholarships. Mis Tighe made presentations to Bertrand Gerstein, winner of the Edward Blake. scholarship in English and History and the blames Harris scholarship in English and History, Miss Grace Nichols, winner of the Margaret Ann Brock and Henry Aikens scholarship in English and History, and Arthur Heywood winner of the third Alumni Scholarship for general proficiency. Heywood was suc- cessful in obtaining the Boys' Proficiency Cup presented to him hy Mr. Harston. As well as excelling in studies. Hey' wood was captain of the junior Rugby Team and an accomplished orator and dehater. Beatrice Elrick of the Comercial De' partment won the Girls' Proficiency Cup. Miss Elrick was secretary of the Girls, Cluh and also a hrilliant student. Kenneth Mawson of Form IV was awarded the junior Matriculation Cup presented to him hy Lt.fCol. R. J. Stuart Mawson ranked first in Forms III and IV. The senior dehating cup was given to Gerstein and Heywood and on hehalf of the Literary Society, a similar trophy was granted to Neysa Dollimore and Margaret Moodie. the junior dehating champions. Recipients of the award to the Commercial team were Alva Norris and Edgar Williams. Gold medals presented hy Trustee Schatz assisted hy Miss H. Waugh, were ohtained hy Bert Gerstein, Kenneth Mawson, Elsie Jay, Claire Capreol and Harold Lyons, and in the commercial ldepartment hy Ruth Lummiss, Jwsie Whiting, Dorothy Taylor and Eileen Hershinhorn. Oratorical contest winners were represented by Louis Walker, senior winner, and Nathan Zive, junior winner. Medals were presented to these two hy Mr. Horwood. Typists Francis Levine, Dorothy Drage, Norma Archer and Mannette Davidson obtained Pa ge 16 ACTA STUDENTIUM gold medals for their outstanding work in typewriting. Second place ribbons for general Proficiency were granted to Grace Nichols, Dorothy Greer, Jean Meyers, Mountain Hutt, Helen Upton, Beatrice Elrick, Alva Norris, Marjorie Rothwell, and Bernice Elrick. Third place ribbons were awarded to Arthur Heywood, Donald Watt, Maunsel Hunt, Mldred Sandler, Millicent Phillip, May Couper, Neeta Edwards, Chrissie Reid and Mary Ross, Bert Gerstein gave a clever valedietory speech, a copy of which may be found elsewhere in this magazine. This year, Vaughan was especially proud to have as its guest speaker Honor' able and Reverend H. -I. Cody, D.D. LL. D., president of the University of Toronto. Dr. Cody spoke to us on the subject of Canadian Youth. He urged on us the importance of being gracious in our manners, careful in our speech and persevering in our studies. After Dr. Cody's address the Matricuf lation gradluation diplomas were given out by Mr. Smith and Miss Dickson. At the conclusion of the Commence' ment Exercises a reception was held in the library for the graduates and their parents, Mr. and Mrs. Evans along with representatives from the School Board and Staff received the guests. Dainty refreshments were served' and a pleasant opportunity was given to the graduating class to renew acquaintance with class' mates and teachers, 1103i GlIfllflllllf5 4lfL3llllllllRlllS6lllllllllQ4k.S ll'B4DlINll4l3llBl'RfiIf ITH the painful memories of ex' aminations and the threat of our forthcoming reports hovering around us, it was a particularly pleasant and en' joyable relief to go to the Christmas Concert which was, undoubtedly, the 'best yet. Under the capable direction of the committee of teachers, a varied and sparkling programme was presented, which kept the audience in continuous laughter throughout the evening. The members of the Lower School showed their talent in the amusing plav The Knave of Hearts, and three charming dances were given under the direction of Miss Mason. Three clever young dancers, june MacDonald, Ruth Steele and Joyce Helston contributed to the general enjoyment. Perhaps the greatest attraction of the evening was the Staff Orchestra, com' posed of Mr. Barton Rubenoffski, Miss Mills, Mr. Horwood, Mr. McKeown that lad from the country, and Mr. Cunf ningham our little drummer boy, and under the direction of our new and very versatile Mr. Beale. VVe'd like to see some more of that Orchestra. A girls' chorus, trained by Miss M. Vxfaugh, sang three delightful songs, and our school orchestra gave two selections May we venture to say that the school orchestra gets better every year. The evening was brought to a splendid conclusion by the Staff play Rory Aforesaidw, a Scotch comedy which was very much enjoyed by everyone. Mr. Beale merrily replaced his topfhat for a 'ktamfofshantef' and his Russian ac' cent was suddenly transformed into a broad Scotch dialect. Miss Husband has told a story of European shepherds who spend so much time with their sheep that they eventuf ally assume a sheepflike expression them' selves. If this is the case, Mr. Eennell must have been keeping sheep in his back garden for years to have developed such a sheep-like bleat. Mr. O. B. Coumans, Ixdr. E. R. Cunningham, Mr. M. D. Smith and Mr. R. B. Horwood, who was very adept with his powder puff, com' pleted the cast. If our future Annual Concerts are so successful and of such high calibre as this year's, we can look forward to them as one of the most outstanding features in our school year. , ACTA STYDENTIYM Page 17 'IIIDAIIRIIEDIINIICIIFJJ AGIIFGIIFIIEDIINIIIID VQQIIIUGBIIHIIQQIN IIRQGDAIID E4IDlll5lIl5llE941?TlllACll'fll'I'f5 O join in the students of a model student? No, Sir. To come to the gala event of the year, Parents' Night. This year, as in previous years, our ma's and pa's went forth to consult with our dear teachers, while we sat at home trembling and praying that these same dear ones would not tell tales out of school . All departments of the school aimed to show off to best advantage. In the commercial section, dainty young ladies pounded away at their typewriters, under the careful supervision of Mr. Day. How careful they were to see that Mr. Error did not enter into their work! In the Laboratories scientific experif ments of all kinds were conducted, To the astonished gaze of our parents, the innards of little froggies were exposed, carbon dioxide and other horrible gases were preparedg and the marvels of heat, light and sound were duly explained. In a conspicuous place our science note' books were displayed. 'May my mother not be able to find' minel' was the prayer of many a fair maiden, The Auditorium was filled with in' teresting exhibits of art, geography and ihistory. The art was especially fine, the display of geography projects showed considerable initiative on the part of the students: the history was unique. Miniature costumes, homes, castles and towns, ships, swords and whatfyoufwill, all were displayed to illustrate the man' ner in which our forefathers lived. In the large gymnasium girls and boys played basketball games. How the spectators cheered! How the students played!! Woh!! The games were fast, clean and closely contested. And now interest was centered in the mathematical rooms. Here the black' boards were covered with Algebra, Geo- metry and Trigonometry. Our parents were finally convinced through study of one problem worked out on the board that fone' could easily equal ktwo'. The tables of the library were devoted to a book exhibit. One could hardly believe it possible that in a collegiate, as young as ours, such a splendid collection of worthwhile and up-tofdate books could be put at the disposal of the stud' ent body. As to results! A few of us+alas too few-have acquired a new importance in our parents' eyes due to some teachers kindly words of approbation. On the other hand, since that momentous meet' ing, many of us have suffered the ill effects of bitter reproach, continued seclusion and hard labour. But in spite of all, here's to you bothAparents and teachers. May you meet oftenfand the consequences be hanged! n Page 18 ACTA STUDENTIUM VQQIIIIIQIIIZSIIDIIIIECIIFGDIIRCJY By BERT GERSTEIN Mr. Evans, Ladies and Gentlemen: IVE years ago, you mothers and fathers here tofnight had a duty to performg you had to see that your child' ren attended school regularly. This evenf ing I see before me you same mothers and fathers, but not the same children. Inf stead I see you accompanied by young men and young ladies. What has happened to your children? Each day they were not radically changed from the previous day, and yet they are no longer children. Time fliesfand five years, after they are past, are as a shadow even though they may loom gigantically in the future. What has happened to your children? Psychologists answer that question. They tell us that the intelligence of the average person grows only until the age of 17, varying slightly with the individual. So we are to understand that during our attendance at this institution, whether known or unknown to us, our intel' ligence has developed to its fullg in the future we can only increase our store of knowledge. And so, although unnoticed by those with whom we have daily con- tact, we have become young men and women. What have been our contacts during this period of transition? We have formed a few lasting friendships, but we have all been brothers in the same fraternity. We have all yelled for the same touchdown, rejoiced over the same holidays, and attended the same social and literary functionsg we have all had the same academic interest, have had the same teachers, wrestled with the same problems and laughed at the same jokes. In a more serious vein, we have been under the guidance of a highly qualified staff of instructors whose duty and purpose has been, they have assured and convinced me, not to make us memorize certain latin phrases or complex physical theories, but rather to develop our inf telligence and our character. If they disregarded that duty they would be guilty of a heinous crime, for you, and they, must realize that after leaving their care our intelligence, unfortunately, could no longer develop while our characters, dependent upon our mental aptitude, would degenerate. I have painted a black picture of what would be the result of their neglect, but I have not overestimated it, and I have purf posely blackened the picture, in order to make you realize how well they have attended to their duty by the example offered you by your own sons and daughters. Theirs is a difficult task. I have seen teachers affected more by a pupil's failure than the pupil himself, and I have even seen teachers suffer as much from overwork as a student study' for examinations. You parents owe them a great debt for their care of your children, while our debt is a greater one insofar as it is a personal one. There is one existing circumstance, however, to be deplored, and that is the lack of intimacy existing between parents and teachers. I am speaking more par' ticularly to those parents of under' graduates. You do not invest your material possessions without careful inf vestigation, and yet you entrust your children to the care of persons unknown to you without any apparent qualms. Are they less valuable than those material possessions? This state of affairs must be remedied, and you are the only ones who can possibly remedy it. The teachers want to meet you, but it is only by action on your part that ACTA STUDENTIIIM Page 19 such a meeting is possible. During the last few years, many changes have taken place in the educa- tional system of Gntario, and in this field Vaughan Rd. has been a pioneer. When a few years ago students were enabled to obtain their junior matricu- lation without having to write the de- partmental examinations, Vaughan Rd. took the logical step further by abolish- ing term examinations altogether. Un- fortunately this movement has not yet been carried to its full by the Depart- ment of Education: yet the physical and mental strain under which students are forced to write in the heat of july has condemned the present system of Honour matriculation examinations. The fre- quent collapse of students while writing has in recent years done much to arouse public opinoon against the system, and it is inevitable that the future will bring some remedy. With the recent change in administra- tion there has been much criticism of the compulsory, so-called useless subjects taught in High Schools, and a demand for more material ones to replace them. The uselessness of those subjects is a debateable question, but disregarding that phase of the question we find that Vaughan Rd. has evidently materially preceeded the times, insofar as, for years there has been a special commercial course for those not desiring to take the usual matriculation course. In addition Vaughan showed its modernism by the introduction of a special one year com- mercial course for those who have matri- culated and are not advancing to Univer- sity. No other collegiate offers such opportunities as Vaughan Rd. However, the very fact that such a course has support is evidence of a very- much-to-be-regretted condition. Why should it be impossible for anyone to go to University for financial reasons? That is essentially an undemocratic state of affairs. In defense of the University we must mention scholarships, which how- ever are not necessarily awarded to the needy and which, I believe should not be, for there are bursaries by which most deserving students may attend University without winning a scholar- ship. However, the fact that even some who wish to, are unable to attend Uni- versity for financial reasons is a circum- stance for which the future must find a remedy. To the undergraduates present, I should like to offer a word of advise from the graduates. Take advantage of the multitudenous opportunities offered you. The staff has proved its worth, and if there is any fault to be found it is certainly in you. You have a high academic and athletic record not only to uphold, but to better. But bear in mind constantly that you are here fundament- aly for two purposes, to develop vuur character and your intelligence, and to prepare yourselves for the future. All extra-curricular activities are pursued so far as they further the benefit of curri- cular activities, and must be so consider- ed so. That the two are compatible has been well demonstrated by the activities of this last year and especially well by Jim Homer. Before concluding, I should like to extend to Mr. Evans, the Principal of this staff, the sincere respect and admira- tion of the graduating body, for a man. A man may earn the confidence of his fellow men much more easily than he can earn that of a body of young people over whom he is superimposed as a guardian. We have always felt certain of a fair deal at his hands. From per- sonal experience I have known him to side with a student against a teacher where he thought that the teacher had acted hastily. At the same time I have known him to be a strict but just task- master, and, what is the greatest quality of a man, I have known him to be the first to admit himself in the wrong, which being human in addition to all this, he somethimes is. We leave Mr. Evans and the whole staff, not as pupil to master, but as friend to friend. In parting, the graduates wish to leave one thought behind. Although we have completed. our attendance at this institu- tion of memories as pupils, we hope we are not severing all connections with its staff and with its pupils. We hope to meet again soon and often, and mean- whileg To Vaughan a Toast. Setretary A .

The aim of the club is to help each girl to develop into her best. Each year it assumes new re' sponsibilities and is now a vital part of our school life. Because of bad weather the customary hike which begins activities developed into a party in the Gymnasium. Before supper there was dancing and a treasure hunt which developed into lively scramble through the corridors. Supper was served in the lunch room. The girls then adjourned to the Gym. where a sing song and amusing program were pref sented under the leadership of Isabel Stewart. During the Candle Service, conducted by Mrs. Evans and the pref sident, the ideals of the Club were im' pressed upon the mind of everyone. The activities concluded with taps. On Friday evening, October 26 the Halloween Masquerade was held. The gymnasium was gayly decorated for the occasion with coloured streamers and bobbing balloons, Mrs. G. E. Evans and a committee of teachers acted as judges in the contest for the prettiest and most original cosf tume. The prilefwinners were Mina Paterson as Cleopatra, Marjory jackson as an old fashioned girl and Miss Mason and her friend as Mickey and Minnie Mouse. During the evening we were entertained by a group of girls, who danced. Two male members of the student body crashed the party during the evening and caused much comment Marjorie Rothwell among the girls. Wheii the masks were removed it was found to be Larry Gough and Rosie Dunford who had so coyly turned the trick. When the dancing was over refreshments were served in the cafeteria and the party broke up after a most enjoyable evening. At Christmas the Club took care of many needy families in the township: This year a new plan was adopted which was a great success. Each form took care of a family and saw to it that it was supplied with everything necessary for a merry Christmas. The result was that more pupils were actively interested in the work and the gifts took on a more personal touch. The annual Christmas concert pref sented by the Club for the student body took place as usual on the last morning of school. The program consisted of a play put on by the Dramatic Club, an illustrated lecture presented by Mr. Ray' field and Christmas Carols by the pupils under the direction of Mr. Bowley. To bring the years activities to a close, the Girls' Club held its annual Mother and Daughter Banquet on Fri- day evening, May Srd. The guest speaker of the evening was Dr. Eliza- beth Stewart, president of the Zonta Club, who gave a most interesting ad- dress on 'Leisure Time and Hobbies . Mr. and Mrs. Evans, Mr. and Mrs. Batchelor, and Mr. and Mrs. Webster were also guests of the club. There were about ZOO Mothers and Daughters in attendance, and as usual the pro- gramme was most enjoyable.

In the Gym, which was finely decor' ated for the event, there assembled one of the most enthusiastic crowds that Vaughan has ever entertained. The Campbell Brothers orchestra supplied a warmth in the music which was ample to dispel any lingering memories of the frosty, outside air. Among the dancers were a great many of Vaughan's graduates and a goodly sprinkling of teachers. Ut might be interesting here just to note that in the rush for a place in the refeshment line, the added weight of a number of year doesn't seem to hold those pedagogues downg unhfumh, not anyj lt was with much regret that we saw the fateful hour approach and with lingering farewells that we bid old friends adieu until-. ...-.,g.1Qj,g,-..- ANNUAL Timei9 o'clock.

Oh, boy! Carrying on in the wellfkown Vaughan fashion the Literary Society produced this year a dance which was the very acme of entertainment. For several days before the big event our amateur interior decorators and electricians were as busy as beavers, executing preparations for the event. AT HOME When the time for festivity actually arrived there wasn't a single 'LRomanf cing Romeo or Jolie Juliet who was not primed with the anticipation which was built up by an extensive advertising program. And, to shatter one more of our aft repeated fables, let us hasten to shout with loud acclaim that here was one occasion regarding which, the joys of anticipation did not-'most emphatic' ally not-exceed the joys of participation. While the orchestra boys took a well' deserved rest in the middle of the even' ing we were entertained by a group of Swiss bell-ringers and an admirable trio.

CAST OF PRINCESS BULBULH A t' T A S 'l' I' ll li N T I I' M Page 23 lIlDllfi.f7lIllllWll1a6llflll1l3S Princess Bulbulv has come and gone, leaving in her train many happy memorf ies to both audience and performer. For three evenings, the Vaughan Road Collegiate Institute endeavoured to prove that the time sacrificed to the dramatic art had not been wasted, and the enthusiastic plaudits of a packed house showed that the audience was quite convinced that the Qresult was worth the effort and time involved. Last years performance of the well' known H.M.S. Pinaforeu set a standard of perfection that it would seem almost imposible to equal, and while the music of Princess Bulbull' cannot be comf pared to the world famous strains of Sullivan, nor the libretto to the wit of Gilbert, we can claim a production of charm land entertainment, excellently performed, and more than adequately staged. The music, while light, was tuneful, and gave the aspirants to fame a splendid opportunity to display the promising talent of which the school can most certainly boast, and while the libretto was not outstanding in originf ality, it was a charming little lovefstory with the happy 'ending necessary to general enjoyment. Princess Bulbul is a very melancholy princess as the story opens. Her father, King Iamit, has betrothed her for polif tical reasons, to a neighbouring prince, a man she has never even seen, and whom, she is sure, it will be impossible to like. So her face and her life are shrouded in gloom, and so, therefore, must be the faces of the eight charming maidsfoffhonour who are her special attendants. These maids-offhonour, how' ever, are young enough, and imprudent enough, to allow a band of wandering pedlars to penetrate into the private gardens of the place, and the chief pedlar even succeeds in getting a private interview with the princess. He declares his love to the charming maiden, and she, though horrified at the idea of a princess being interested in a common pedlar, relents enough to promise him a farewell interview at the ball that evening, where she is to be formally betrothed to Prince Caspian, her fathers choice. Meanwhile, King Iamit is so delighted at having brought his diplomacy to a successful issue, that he has rashly promised to any lady who a husband would taken that if she asked him politely, as though in a jest he, the king, would make the man involved say yes. The princess, having fallen in love with the pedlar decides to take advantage of her fathers imprudence, and leading the stranger forward in front of the whole court prof claims that this is the man she intends to marry, and demands fulfilment of the promise. The king is only too def lighted to grant her request, as the sof called pedlar is in reality Prince Caspian who, like the princess, had not wished to marry without first seeing his chosen bride. He had conceived the idea of the pedlar masquerade in order to make the acquaintance of the princess. So all ends happily for this pair, but not so well for poor King lamit, for another lady, the Lady Ide, takes advantage of the situ' ation, and as he cannot say no, he is forced to marry her, though much against his will. Princess Bulbulu has one noticeable advantage over 'H.M.S. Pinaforeug it gives opportunity in minor roles, for at showing of what really can be done in amateur theatricals, Most operettas are written in a stereotyped style with arias for the principles, and choruses for the chorus. This is all very well in its place, but one always comes away with the feeling that there was much talent that Page 26 ACTA STUDENTIUM could have been better displayed. In this case, that feeling was conspicuous by its absence. First of all we wish to mention the two octettes. The maidsfof-honour were charming and graceful, and the sweet voices, the colourful dresses, and the finished effect of the movements and pantomine made a picture that will not easily be forgotten by its many beholders. Miss M. Waugh was responsible for training the girls' voices. The pedlars sang remarkably well, and their mis' chievous teasing of the maidsfoffhonor greatly amused the audience. Mr. Cunf ningham supervised the boys' voices. And now for the principals. VVe offer our most hearty congratulations to But Green, who had the difficult role of King Iamit to interpret. His rendering of the fussy, complaining, important little man was most skilful. It is not easy to play a comedy role. Gne shade too much of the farcical element, and the character is lost, and one shade too little and the audience is bored. Again conf gratulation, Bud. Through all the diffif culties of holding on your crown, and arranging your girth, you never for one moment, lost sight of your role, or allow' ed yur audience to do so. C. Schneider and G. Oliphant were excellent foils for the kingly jests. They played their parts well, anfd the walk land air of tghe Keeper of the Royal Spectacles was a thing to be remembered. The luguf brious air of the Keeper of the Royal Cashboxn was so real that one felt quite sympathetic every time the cashbox had to be opened. Isabel Stewart had a very difficult role to portray in the part of the Lady Ida, the Court Chaperon. It was not one to arouse the sympathy of the audience, yet it was so well sung. and so superbly acted that one could almost have wished for two heroines. We can heartily congratulate Kay Vousden on her Princess Bulbul. Her voice. though excellent, was almost over' shadowed by her acting. She made an instant appeal, even before we had heard her lyric soprano tones. Her gowns were beautiful, especially the white one worn in the last act. It was hard to believe that one was watching an amateur per- formance. Ralph Loney made a most picturesque prince charming or rather, Caspian His pleasing tenor voice fitted well into the part. Excellent, Ralph, we hope to hear you soon in an' other role of that kind. Eilleen Sheppard as Lilla and Walter Kent as Alain were also outstanding throughout the performance. Their roles were exacting and they filled them to perfection, They were necessary to every group and had to be on hand for every practice. Their final duet, We are happy as can be , took the audience by storm. Eileen was also invaluable as accompanist for the choruses while Joyce Edwards was engaged with the orchestra. Miriam Severwright and Stewart Steven gave us a charming duet, which, by the amount of applause it evoked, left no doubt as to the apprecif ation of the audience. The chorus not only provided an ex' cellent backgrown for the ensembles but it also delighted the audience with its color,movement and song. The Soldiers' Chorus and the Finales we could well have heard again and again. And how we all enjoyed the housemaids'f! The minuet and the country dance left pleasant memories of a wellftrained group, for which we have Miss Mason and Miss Haydon to thank. And we must not forget the moonbeams' Dance directed by Miss Prettiefthe whole en' hanced by the clever lighting effects. The orchestra under the able direction of Mr. Beale sustained its part in a man' ner which left nothing to be desired and showed the results of weeks of effort. And to Joyce Edwards our pianist, we owe more than we can say in these few words. Only hard work and patience could result in such a finished perform' ance. Joyce was ably assisted during the practices by Eileen Sheppard and Gladys Pedwell. Miss Tighe was again the director and stage manager of the operetta, and I think that she must feel very content with the result of her untiring efforts. ACTA STUDENTIUM Page 27 In any dramatic production most of the work falls on the director, and it is work that is unseen, and therefore un' realized by the audience. So we are going to say here, Well done, Miss Tighe, you certainly made the very best of the material on hand, and gave us a most pleasant memory to add to the other pleasures you have affored usfl Mr. Bowley directed the musical part of the production. As a result the musical numbers had the sparkle and melody of a truly finished performance. It is impossible to give sufficient credit and thanks to Mr. Bowley for the time and talent expended on our musical entertainments. Everything went swim' mingly, and the finish of the musical number showed the amount of work that had been expended upon them, Miss Taylor was responsible for the costumes and an excellent job she made of them. The colour scheme was cleverly planned and the styles well in keeping wi-th the setting. Miss Husband assisted by a group of girls, and Mr. Beale worked hard with the makefup. For weeks, Mr. Smith, with the able assistence of F. Rayfield and Calvert worked at the stage settings and were well rewarded by the results. Mr. Moreau directed the painting of the back drop and Rayfield jr. D. Parker, Isaac and Bannister were the cofartists. Bulbul was well advertised by posters, the work of the Art Club and by a huge banner, produced by Isaac and Bannister. Mr. Coumans, Niek:ies, Woodhouse, Langlands and May were responsible for the excellent lighting effects. To all these workers behind scenes, we owe a great deal of the success of our per' formances. Mr. Horwood was, as heretofore, the ideal business manager! his organization left no room for conf presion. We are sure he hands over lots of money to the treasury. A little of the appreciation felt by the performers for the thought and patience exercised by the staff of the school, was expressed at a tea dance held Thursday afternoon, April 11. Gifts were pref sented and everybody had a lovely time singing some of the most popular numbers of the operetta and dancing to the strains of a firstfclass orchestra. Miss Helen Waugh and Mrs. Evans acted as hostesses. And now that all is over, we look back and realize how very enjoyable it all was. Time spent, pleasure given up, homework neglected, it was all worth it, and we are ready and waiting to do it again next year.

Dunford, Calvert, Rayfield and King: lighting problems were handed over to Woodhouse and Menzies: make' up to Connie Barker and the business management was under taken by Walter Kent. Soon an intensive program of rehearsals began. The support of the orchestra and Art Club was enlisted and both added greatly to the ultimate suc' cess of the evening. The commercial department typed the plays. Cn February Sth the curtain rose on the culmination of the seasons activity. The first play, The French Maid and the Phonographf' coached by Miss Hadden was enthusiastically received and the audience paid ample tribute to the wellftrained cast. Second came The Man in the Bowler Hat, under Bob Kerr's direction. Its humorous situa' tion and whimsical comedy went right across as the applause of the audience testified. In the third play, Lights Out, directed by Piper, the students again showed remarkable dramatic ability. This play had a most effective climax. Because of the success of this experi- ment, it is hoped that the Club may carry on an even more extensive program next year. This year has clearly demon' strated that we have many students highly talented not only in the dramatic line but also in the field of business management, scenic effects and art. VVe hope to extend the opportunities the Club offers to the Third Forms, as well as to the Fourths and Fifths. Our aim is to find an outlet for every one inf terested. Finally, the Club is financially sound. We started with an empty treasury and finished with a considerable surplus. ij lDllRl13llHllllE5S6lIfllR A I' 'I' A S 'I'I'IJ'I+1X TI I' M Page 25? ,..f: 5 X It -LITERARY Cilflltlllllfb QQIIIIBCIIAQQS lll0lIRlllZlIE5 SQIHDIRCIY Cllflltllllllb IBTIIRIIEBQQIGIIT lIl29XlIl9llEBllRlIllIlVlIllIlf9llNlI6lIf RTHUR Scott, foremost scientist of his time, entered the suhstantial stone huilding on Regent Street which housed the International Private Inf vestigation Company. He acknowledged the respectful nods of the secretaries and knocked on the door marked 'Roger Henderson, Presidentu. He already had some inkling as to why he had been summoned hy his old school churn, now head of the greatest private detective agency in England, Roger Henderson, in the course of his detective work, had learned a great deal ahout European politics and was prohahly now the hest man in England on such matters. Lately he had confided to Scott his dis' covery of some very startling facts of which he would soon have definite proof. Henderson greeted him cordially and with suppressed excitement. Well, Arthur, I suppose you know why I asked you to visit me? I think so, Roger. You have prof hahly discovered conclusive proof of the conditions you outlined to me last week. Thats right. We have known for some time that all European politics are controlled hy the armament concerns who have, in every country, hacked the leaders whose radical ideas suit their own ends. They have thus succeeded in creating in Germany, Italy, and other countries a wave of militarism and fanatic patriotism which has caused a justified feeling of distrust in England, France. and the other peacefully inclined nations. As a result, every government in Europe is ordering great supplies of war paraphernalia, and the manuf facturers of these articles are rapidly increasing their wealth and power. But that is not all. We have just discovered that, not content with this, they are even now arranging the necessary inter, national difficulties to cause a second and greater NVorld War, You are the only man who can stop it. I, Roger! But what can I do? I am not a diplomatic genius. And that is just the point. Diplof p,-Q -14, xc'T,x STVDENTI Ui, F r U M Q2 J Er' FIFTH FORM MATRICULATION ACTA STUDENTIUM Page 31 mats have tried for years to eliminate war, and they have failed. Now it is the turn of science to remove the cause of it all. The munition factories of Europe must be destroyed so completely that, even if the owners did decide to rebuild them, the drain on their resources would be so great that they would be unable to retain their control of politics which costs them millions annually. Only give the civilized nations a chance and they will throw off the reign of those who are continually driving them at one another's throats. But where am I concerned in this plot? You have often told me in the past of attemps to blow up armament factories, all of which ended in failure because of the great forces of secret police and employees of the concerns whose sole duty is to guard these plants. You must remember, though, that these plots all depended upon the plotters piercing the cordon of guards about the factories. Now I have a plan whereby you can destroy these plants without leaving your laboratory here in London. You told me the other day that you had just perfected a broadcasting appar- atus which enables you to send out a perfect beam of electrical power to alf most any distance you wish with no loss of energy. Now you already have a system of deriving unlimited power from the cosmic rays. Could you not combine these two inventions into a weapon capable of causing an electric discharge of tremendous power at any point at which you aimed it? To tell you the truth, Roger, I have already tried just such an experiment on a small scale with the result that I sucf ceeded in destroying an old barn on my estate in Scotland from my laboratory here in London a hundred miles away. The discharge chared a patch of heath about two hundred feet in diameter. All that I need to reach over all Europe is a larger generator and more accurate apparatus to guide the ray. One month later. Scott and Henderf son are now in the scientists laboratory on his estate in Scotland. The day of the great experiment has arrived. Well, says Henderson, my part is finished. Here is the list my operatives have made up. It contains the exact locaf tion of every munition plant above sea' level. My agents have sent letters to all workers at the plants telling them that the factories will be destroyed and that a warning shock will be felt at nine o'clock exactly to prove that the letters are not a hoax. Now it is up to you to do your part. All right, Let me have that list, and I'll send out the warning discharge. Scott turns to the mass of instruments which covers a whole side of the laboraf tory. He works at dials and verniers, every adjustment precise to perfection, referring to Hendersons list, checking and re-checking figures-now he pulls down the switch. From just outside the window comes a low hum. Scott switches the current from circuit to circuit, focusing the beam of electricity upon 'place after place across a whole continent. Now he switches off. Well, they have all had their warn' ing, and I don't think any of the em' ployees will dare to remain at their posts after that warning shock. The apparf atus worked perfectly, but I am not quite sure that it will stand up under the current I intend to use next. If it doesn't, we'll be blotted out the same as the munition plants. I wish you would leave before I switch on. Theres no need for both of us to be killed. Ill stay with you, Arthur. In case we don't survive this experiment, I have sent a letter to the newspapers with all the proofs I have collected, explaining the drastic step we are taking. Now the workers should all be out of the factories. Switch on and hope for the best. The two men shake hands firmly, then the scientist turns to his instruments. He closes the switch. The hum of the generator is now replaced by a mighty roar that threatens to split the earth as an unimaginable flow of power is launched upon its mission of destruction, guided from place to place by Scott at his magic controls, Qutside, unknown to the two experimenters, 'the giant transmitter begins to smoke. The terrific Pa ge 32 AFTA S'l'I,'DENTIUM flow of current continues. Factory after factory over the whole of Europe is smashed to a mass of charred ruin. The last connection is made, and Scott, with a breath of relief, reaches up to open the switch. The transmitter has reached its limit. It bursts into flame, shortfcircuits, and people for miles around hear the blast as transmitter generator, and laboratory arc fused into one mass of wreckage, Another month has passed. At Geneva the greatest peace conference in history is being concluded. Chairman Anthony Drake is addressing the gathering of Statesmen from all over the world. Gentlemen, at last we can go to our homes in triumph. For years we have disagreed, engaged in petty dis' putes, and been justly ridiculed for it by the newspapers. That is all past. Dis' armament of all Europe has been ac' complished. No longer are there any private armament concerns. All inter' national disputes have been settled, and the world is at peace. Let us always remember, however, that we could have accomplished nothing but for the work of those two men who died in the cause of peace, Scott and Henderson. We may now frankly admit that the armaf ment rings were too strong for us, and, without their destruction, our League of Nations would never have justified its existence. Now, as we return to our various countries and the congratulations of our compatriots, let us see that full credit is given where it is due, to Scott and Henderson whose great experiment was a success.

In spite of this, I say that The Greatest Show on Earth is waiting for you at that spot, and under that condition. It may be that you think I have got one arm out of my straightfjacket, to write this: well, Barnum may have ex' aggerated, but if you doubt my state' ments, all I ask is that you test their validity, by seeing for yourself. You will find that if you walk at a steady gait, and give only the most offhand glance to each piece in this breathftaking display, it will take you more than an afternoon to pass everything. Every exhibit is unique, the most perfect of its kind, and arranged so that the visitor may see everything to the best advantage. The building which houses this display is itself a handsome example of the way our architects can give all the dignity of a Roman Forum to an exterior, and strike the alert modern note in an inf terior. Messrs. Chapman and Oxley have combined the pleasing features of a past and present generation, and at the same time have erected a lasting monument to their skill. You will be pleased with the ultra' modern, yet comfortable waiting rooms and lobbies, in black and aluminium. You will ga:e in admiration, at the mosaic art in the ceiling of the main entrance hall. Your attention will be caught by the shiny hardwood floors, and marble staircases. The clean, airy rooms with a double height, full length windows, and Venetian blinds will comf plete youi' satisfaction. In an attempt to sum up my appreciation of this temple to the past, my own words fail me, so I refer y-ou to one who signs himself 'Sinaiticius', fsee 'Construction' Novemf ber 19321-L'Both the conception and the result are fine evidences of the high quality of present day artistic endea- vourf' Polite, alert guards will help you through the maze of rooms, each so much alike, and yet so different in content. Drinking fountains, writing tables, a tea' room that caters to every whim, and an elevator, which was built with a regard for one's nerves, are a few of the many conveniences. There is a clock of une usual design in the main entrance hall, but I stump you to find it. Look closely, and when you give up, ask an attendant to kick you. Now let's get down to cases, or rather to what is in them. I entertain no hopes of being able to point out to you any' thing but the smallest fraction of the innumerable pieces of practical work' manship, fine art, and surprising oddities. I have spent about five afternoons in the museum during the last three months, but I must admit that I cannot remember even an average of one display for each room. I beg your pardon for being un' able to keep any order from here on, what impresses me most I shall pass on to you, hoping that you may supplement the information that my scant survey may give. In the centre section of the are the guns: big guns, little guns, short guns.

Do you remember 'those attachments, your mother used to put on her sewing machine. when she wanted to do some fancy stiches?

The mace of office that the Americans tool: from York in 1813, and just returned last year, has a case to itself, so you can hardly help seeing it. If you will continue down past the world's best stamp collection, you will come across two of the most complete, trim, trueftoflife models of sailing ships, that you can ever hope to see. From now on I cannot give you the location of anything, except in relation to something else, because I am lost after I lose sight of the front doors. There is a model of the town of Niagara Falls, and the countryside, inf cluding the falls. Examine it intently, and you will even find an k'Exhibition Flyer in miniature. You can better appreciate, what Tarzan had to put up with after your visit to the :oology wings, Always come for you are straight up to the animals, liable to startle something into moving if you come up behind it. I have seen some fairly saucy ground- hogs, but that fat brown imp in the Canadian animals division, will return your closest scrutiny. I guess he knows the g'ass is protecting him. Did you ever see the Zebra yet, that would stand still while you counted his stripes? Well I didg there are fiftyftwo from front to back, and the average of horizontal stripes to each leg, is twenty seven If you refuse to believe this, go and take your own recount. Have you ever stumbled on two shaggy, snarling timber wolves about to fight over a piece of some torn, bleeding animal? You will, somewhere among these animals. Take a good look, but in your own interests stand back. I suppose you do not need to be told how scarce carrier pigeons areg there are still a few left around the forks of the Credit Riverg you'll see them. Then turn to your right, and see the reasons these birds are no more.

Notice the leaves of the foliage, in particular, they are not genuine of course, or they would be all brown by this time. If you want to know just how much care and work it took to produce each one of those leaves, take a half turn to the left, and study the seventeen steps, in the mould' ing of plants in wax. Do you think that you could get a thrill, from putting your hand in a shark's mouth, or from fondling a deadly snake, without getting hurt? I am sure the curator of the museum would arrange it-if you tell him who you are. Have you ever seen the saw of a saxvfish, or a sword fish's sword, they are awaiting your comments along with, giant turtles, Canadian birds in natural setting, and six hundred and fifty differ- ent species, of foreign birds, with every combination of colour, and feather arrangement, you could' dream about. You really should take a look, at the group of Albino animals, that is, any creature which is white, or in othei' words lacks colour pigment. Among them is a white beaver, with a pink tail and pink eyesg in fact, they all have pink eyes. The card' in this display told ni: that the eyes were not pink, but that because of lack of colour in the eyeball, the red of the blood could be seen though it. Perhaps you have heard a rumour to the effect that the Yankees are addict' ed to boasing. I used to think that they were following this habit, when they stamped such a big representation of their buffalo, on the reverse side of their big nickels. I know now, that after seeing the Canadian buffalo, they were stung to the quick and in order to hide their shame at the comparison, they ref sorted to exaggeration. You will agree with me after you see it, that we could not place the smallest effigy of the Canadian buffalo, even on the new silver dollar. Are you interested in entomo'ogy?

If you are a studient of Latin, you might trace their family history back as far as you wish, for there it is, like an epitaph, beneath all sorts of microscopic insects, set out in long rows of glass jars-truly a mausof leum of the insect world. I'm not through telling about the small percentage of the animals my weak memory brings to me. There are lions and tigers, apes and eagles, bears and baboons, and any other animals that live, or used to live, all as large as life- and twice as natural. Then there are the prehistoric mon' stersg I don't believe there is one with a name und'er twenty letters long. Bef side them are pictures of the sort of country these nightmares used to ram' page around in. By all appearances the great grandaddy of all chickens was about a dozen times the size of an ostrich. A horse and a cow used to look so much alike, that until very recently they could not be told apart, and men would often hitch up a cow in mistake for a horse. This difficulty was surmounted by call' ing them both oxen, in way of a general name. There are thousands of specimens, of different kinds of rocks down there: set lenses are focused on them, to give you a good close up view. I dare say there is a ton of rock in that section, for every ten dollar bill you have ever seen. The next time you get an invitation to a fancy dress ball, your costume prof blem will be solved, if you have visited the museum. There are the dresses of kings, and princesses, of bishops, and queensg in short, there is every type of dress that was wo-rn in the middle ages. There are completely furnished rooms, arranged as special illustrations of the lives of our forefathers. Nothing is omitted to give them that, 'xHome Sweet Home atmosphere, even the warming pans, these ancients used to take the chill from their bed, and the grandfather clock, Speaking of such clocks leads me to say, that they are especially numerous in that vicinity, just note the time of the 'day when you see the first one, and then look around, you are sure to find one with its hands stopped at that time. Near these you will come to a showing of about a hundred watches, that could give the time in any style you ever heard about. Une watch is wound by snap' ping the case open and shut, another reads from right to left, and the hands automatically snap back to zero, when they reach twentyffour. Have you ever seen the first set of china dishes, made in Canada? It is down there in some corner.

Watch for a seashell mounted on a skillfully engraved gold baseg try, yes just try to read the story painted on some of those plaques. Keep a weather eye open, for wood carving, and filigree work, you will see things no antique shop can afford to keep in stock. There is a totem pole, as high as the four stories of the niuseumg its base is on the ground' floor, and the top towers into a skylight, specially altered for it. I wish that I could read the history, on that stately wooden shaft. It has not been so long since the ladies first got their vote, and I am sure any fair minded man respects them, for what they have achieved. At one time in some far off country perhaps, their value in Sword Mo1iey , was represented by a piece of iron, about four feet long and three inches wide. You will find the Sword Money in the basement, near the Eskimo kayaks. No doubt you have heard, or read some gruesome tales of how different tribes of Indians mutilated people, now come and see a few examples of it. The worst of these is a human head shrunk to the size of your fist, or smaller. The grotesque effect is increased by the long black hair, which did not shrink, and the braided string hung from the lips. A card explains in gory detail, that the skull was broken into small pieces, which ACTA STUDENTIUM Page were drawn out through the neck. The head was then dried and' shrunk, by ref peated insertions of hot sand and pebbles. Although Halloween is a long way off, a look at the curious ceremonial masks of Indians, of various sections of America may give you some ideas, thait will stay with you until you have occasion to degrade your appearance. You cannot miss the Indian groups, for they are in monstrous glass cases, as big as the grand salon of a bungalow. Une of these groups, shows an Indian youth making fire by twirling the end of a stick in a boardg a note says that this job was usually left to a man of the tribe, perhaps that is the reason, I have to light the furnace. My memory is failing me now, so I shall wind this up, so to speak. Very few museums have the edge on this one. You contribute to it, indirectly perhaps, nevertheless, this makes it partly yours, and as such it is worthy of your interest. I. Sliambrook IVB.

This belief has become a fundamental one in our social system and it is with this idea that governments have worked for the wel- fare of nations. They have indeed accomplished a great deal that is un- questionably beneficialfincluding the abolition of slavery and the reduction of the power of the nobility. Unfortunf ately, however, through this belief they have established other institutions not quite so beneficial. They have established in most counf tries a minimum education and each child is sent to an identical school for so many years and does practically the same work. just as so much raw material is put through a factory machine and emerges to be stamped with the Trade Mark of the company, just so we line up our youth on commence' ment night and publicly present them with diplomas which proclaim that they have been through the machine and the company now guarantees that they pose sess certain qualities. This all seems very systematic and practical except that what we put into the big equalizing machine is not just so much identical raw material. You see, there is one mischievous factor which turns everything topsyfturvy and which proves the fallacy of this system. Call it what you will+character, personality, or individuality-you can't escape it. And because of this we can not persuade ourselves that hall men are born free and equal. This disturbing factor, which has, perhaps, a greater influence on our lives than anything else, is already possessed by each one of us at birth. And so, because men are influenced by it more than by any earthly environment, we' realize that all men are not born free, To many people it seems unfair that mans destiny is largly decided before even his first efforts. But imagine how dull and uninteresting our world would be if each new acquaintance were a prototpye of the last: if everyone were just an average manfl You see, we would have no Shakes' peare, no Napoleon, no Beethoven, no Rafael, no Emerson! The solution? We must recognize this vital and facinating thing called indivif duality and let it expand. We must tear down the machines that try so des' pcrately to crush initiative and succeed only in causing turmoil and despair in the heart of our youth. We must let the psychologists lead us into a new world+fa world where each man's spark of genius is nurtured and encouragedf- a world where we think less of the dollar under our nose, and let each man travel the road which, of all men he can travel best-and at the end find his pot of gold!

I violent' ly twisted myself into another position in the bed, and for the sixtieth time that night I tried to find a cool spot on the pillow, I rammed it into my mouth in despair. If I could only be whisked up to the North Pole, and dumped down among countless snow' drifts, I would dig my throbbing head into every one of them. I recollected that there would not be any of those confounded magazine ads up there to bother the polar bears either. That was the whole trouble. I had been fool enough to accept what sounded like a soft job-working on an advertising survey--3 and now my head buzzed with every slogan from 'kThe clean taste of Spud to All You Can Eat for 60c . But a bright thought suddenly struck me. XVhy of coursesl had forgotten I should count sheep. I tried hard, but it wouln't work bee cause I couldn't see any sheep to count. I was just going to give up, when to my delight a shaggy old man appeared. He looked like Santa Claus in summer underwear. Are you a sheep? I asked wearily, trying to count him. No, I am a shepherd. he droned. Then why all the wool on your face? He looked at me stupidlyg then ref plied, 'll am the man who has ceased to care. I no longer use Gillette razor blades. This disgusted me. Well, I'm supposed to count sheep, I protested. He did not heed meg but beckoned forward a wrinkled old hag, who looked so thin that I dimly wondered whether she had spent her life digesting clock' springs. I take Jad Salts, she croaked, If you do you can keep thin eating four square meals a day. Really? I groaned, trying to look interested. Have you a pink toothbrush? rasped the old dame. No I replied, What difference does it make? These old people bored me. I wondered vaguely how in thunder they had gained access to my room, If you haven't a pink tooth brush, she was crooning, you should write for Ipapa Toothpawste. They supply one wit every tu e. ' Say, I want to see some sheep, I bellowed. The old man gave a low whistle. Pre' sently a sheep trotted in, carrying a book. It stared at me, cow fashion, for a few moments, then said. Young man, do you blush, giggle, titter and feel foolish when you pour a cup of coffee down your hostess' back? Do your friends snigger, snivel and sneer? Send the coupon today. For the small price of one dollar, I will send you, absolutely free of charge, a little book that will make you popular overfnight. Be in a class by yourself, and learn to become a skilled dancer. I replied wearily that I was not in the habit of pouring coffee down peoples' backs. But the foolish thing insisted, Think, only fifteen minutes a day . . . popularity over night . . . They laughed when I sat down to the piano . . .I I suppose somebody had removed the stool, I ventured, The sheep looked at me as if it thought I was a bit denseg blushed modestly, and left. I got ready to countf'Two-Three-. A most pathetic sight met my tired eyes. Two lambs, one as thin as a toothpick, and the other so fat that it wobbled, were wheeled in in baby carriages. The poor little things were shaved right down to the skin, not an inch of wool left on their bodiesg and their bare pink and white flesh was shivering. The one res deeming feature was that each had a little towel around it. The thin one began in a singfsong voice, Brother be ye not confused. We are both the same sheepg my name is 'Before Virol' The other chimed in, And I am 'After Page 42 ACTA STUDENTIUM Virol' f I did not tax my weary brain by try' ing to figure out what relation they were to each other. Please leave meg I'm tired. Ibegged. No sooner had these pests gone than a similar one appeared. It, too, was a lamb, as nude as its predecessors, moreso in fact as it did not even have a towel around it. The poor little beast was riding a tricycle on top of a breadwagon. It looked horribly cold. It held up a sign with something written on it about the Sunshine Vitamins in Westons' Bread. How do you think I can count one sheep? I protested wearily. It very condescendingly wheeled off. I counted 'lFour'l. What slow busif ness, I thought. Then they began to come faster. About ten appeared, all decked out in earrings, fine dresses, and bobbed hair, Sheep look awfully silly with bobbed hair, and they were decorated with eye' brow pencil and rouge. I tried hard to count them, but my brain was reeling. Did Alice send you? I moaned. Alice Who? they echoed. L'Why Alice in Wonderland. One of the sheep, more prominent than her fellows, because her tail was marcelled, stepped forward. The rest lined up behind in single file. Said the owner of the stylish tail, We are the Mrs. IvanfOvelitch VanDundervunts Junior. I am Mrs. IvanfOvelitch Van' Dundervent junior I. She turned obout sharply, From the right-number. They purred Two . . Three . . Four . .M until it came to the last, number nine. She said, Baa-aa. The leader smiled apologetically and said, She can't speak English yet. She is, however, Mrs. Ivan' Ovelitch VanDundervunt Junior IX. Yes, yes, I replied, trying to be polite, Glad to know you. We are smart society sheep, conf tinued the chaperone Moreover, we all use Ponds. I am no ladies' man, especially when the ladies are sheep. It's very kind of you to have come, I sighed ungraciousf ly, but I want: to go to sleep. After curtseying ridiculously, and smiling like a lot of cows chewing Dentyne, elles prendrent leurs cognees. These silly, silly sheep wearied meg they made my head buzz more, and my eyes were scorchingly dry. I had not been celebrating-O, No-g it was all because of those blamed magazine ads. Well, I was just beginning to snooze when two more odious visitors arrived. their predecessors, they con' Like trasted with each other violently. One was as sembled thin as a carrot, the other ret- a squash. They were both in bathing suits. The thin one had pimples on its face. I had to laugh, you have no idea how funny a sheep covered with pimples looks in a bathing suit. The carrot variety one looked at me sourly and said, I do not take Ironized Yeast. The squash, smiling sweetly, broke in, I take Ironized Yeast. I was just going to say something dis- agreeable when a still more unusual sight met my haggard eyes. A big rain in a Grenadier's uniform pranced up to me. He was smoking a cigarette, and looked really happy. It was a relief to see himg the other sheep had been so stupid. He saluted jovially and began to speak in a deep, pleasant voice. Buckinghams are tihroatfeasy, sez I. said he. All too soon he saluted and left. No sooner had my soldierly friend departed, than a sheep of the hot flapper variety rushed in excitedly. Her cheeks and lips were painted a vivid red, and her hoofs were shined exquisitely. Which way did He go? she cried. Uh? I dunno. I grunted sleepily, which way had he gone anyway? Funny thing . . . but I just couldnt seem to recollect. Oh she sighed, umy lovely romance spoiled all on account of BO. Who is he? I asked, hoping dazedly to be able to avenge her wrong.

Spencer Piper V SAEIRAMIENWT ITH clear silver tones, the little bell of St. Therese, the tiny chapel on the hill, sounded richly and fully over the rapidly darkening valley nestled beneath the protecting mountain peaks. Then all was quiet in the little town of Munerberg in this fertile valley of the Swiss Alps until could be heard the deep, holy music of the organ, and voices lifted in songs of praise. After about an hour, the doors were flung wide and a small group of picturesque mountain folk began to wind their way down the steep path, to the peaceful town below. Like weary eyes, closing to await another day, the light left the trim little windows, one by one, and save for the white light of the moon, and stars that sparkled in a clear, cold heaven, all was soon in darkness. Back in the chapel, the parish priest and a group of monks were preparing to retire,-all but Brother Michael to whom had been assigned the duty of filling the golden goblets with red wine and of preparing fresh breadAfor to- morrow was Easter. With great care he poured the precious liquid into each shinning cup and placed the fresh, white bread on the silver plates. White bread was a rare and great delicacy for the humble valley folk, and only on holy feast days did their lips touch what was to them, a thing of luxury. What was that? Brother Michael started. Methinks I heard a faint knock. There it was again. Who could it be? Cautiously he approached the low, arched door and opened it a little, then, seeing nothing, he opened it more wide' ly. At his feet something limp and ragged fell. He was at first alarmed but in a moment had regained his customary complacency so that he could investigate the intrusion. Turning the bundle over, he found it to be a very dirty and ragged beggarman, emaciated, desperately thin, and stiff with cold. Dragging him to a chair, Brother Michael succeeded in ref moving a little of the dust from the strangers face and in imparting some warmth to the frosty limbs by vigorous rubbing. A drink, a drink, food. something to eatg I must have food! the man cried pitifully. Seeing nothing but the pre' cious goblets and bread which he had so carefully prepared, Brother Michael seized a cup and a piece of bread and proceeded to feed the poor wretch who had so unceremoniously presented him' self at such an unearthly hour. In a few moments the man had almost completely recovered. This, asserted Brother Michael, might serve to keep the cold from your body, as he handed him a long, black, woollen robe. The man stretched eager and grateful hands toward the priestly garment, slipped it on and left as quickly as he had come. , Brother Michael's head was in a state of confusion. Seating himself on a chair, he mopped his brow and tried to collect his scattered wits. His glance wandered around the little room until it finally reached the table on which the empty goblet stood. Then he stared. What had he done? What would the Priest say to him? The holy wine and bread! Wringing his hands, he paced the stone S y I - -,.,. 4 4' if , - M A I , 1' tl 1. .

Should he remain silent, or should he confess to his superior? Thus was his dilemma. For many hours Brother Michael waged a battle with his conscience, but in the end, the truth in his spotless nature was victorious. Having settled this dispute within himself he prepared for bed, and not any too soon, for already, fingers of faint, red light were spreading across the heavens. In the dim, gray light of dawn, his fine form could be seen stretched out on his humble pallet, his face white, aristocratic and framed by a ring of curling black hair. Almost ethereal and strangely pure and holy, he appeared, so that if one had been present, he would instantly have been filled with inexplicable joy and admiation. By eight o'clock, the entire living quarters was in a buzz of life. Brother Michael wearily arose, performed his toilet and leaving the chamber, joined a group of monks on their way to prayers. After the last anthem had been sung, he haltingly approached the altar where his arrogant superior was stand- ing, and respectfully kneeling before him, he addressed him thus: Father, I have a sin which I feel I must confess to thee. Wilt thou hear me now? I will hear thee, my son, replied the priest superciliously. I have freely given of the sacred communion to one who perished of hunger and thirst. Thou wouldst dare take such a liberty with the Lord's holy gift? Thou shalt never be forgiven! Down on thy knees and pray that thy foul soul may be saved from perdition! Get thee from this church, sinful one, and do not return until thy soul hast done penance for thy evil deed. In the brisk morning air, the forlorn figure of an outcast, made his weary way up the snowy hillside toward, 'Lwho knows where. if IK li A year had passed over the little church of St. Therese leaving no appref ciable change in it except that the stone walls were, perhaps, more densely garbed in waxy, green ivy and that the little chamber in the back, with a window overlooking the happy valley was occupied by another, much younger than Brother Michael. It was the night before Easter and the parish Priest, stern and haughty, this time trusting no one else, was himself busily preparing the offerings for the sacred Lords Supper. While thus engrossed, a feeble sound reached his ear. He listened more inf tently. He was sure it was a knock, Mentally accusing his imagination of deception, he continued his task. But his attention was again arrested by what appeared to be a tapping on the oaken door. He took a few steps toward the door and opened it. As he did so, some' thing fell with a thud to the flagfstoned floor. Taking a candle from the table, he prepared to more carefully examine the thing which lay lifeless on the floor. Turning the object over with his sandalled foot, he found the features of a man, barely discernible. He held the candle nearer and a drop of hot wax fell upon the mudfencrusted cheek of the helpless man. With difficulty he opened his eyes and then spoke: Give me a drink or I shall die, he panted feverishly. Heedlessly the priest siezed one of the golden goblets from the table, and raising the man's head, bent down and poured the cool beverage down his parched throat. An indescribable look of anguish mixed with bliss crossed his wan face, and with a sigh he uttered a few, scarcely audible words: Even-you-would have-done it, he gasped, and with the utterance of the last word, he breathed his last. Astonished, the Priest, with a damp cloth, wiped the grime from the man's face. He had cause to be astonished, for before him he beheld the worn countenance of the man, he had only a year ago, cast out in disdain.

K-4- 3 A champion is a successful com' petitor against all rivals. jim Homer is a champion of champions. During his five year membership in the happy family of Vaughan Road pupils he developed and left with the School a spirit which should inspire future memf bers of the family for all time to come, He did not let disappointment conquer him as is well illustrated by an occurr- ence which materially affected him as an athlete. After two years of diligent practice Jim won the Interscholastic championship of Ontario in the Shot Put event. The following summer he inf jured his shoulder playing softball and thus ruined his chance of retaining his title. Undaunted, however, Jim turned his attention to sprinting. After many practice periods he showed that he pos' sessed the qualities of a better than average sprinter. Thus, putting aside his hopes and ambition in an event which he was admirably suited to, he supplant' ed his disappointment with a desire for conquest in another event in which his injury would not handicap him. About this time information was received that a team of twelve schoolboys was to be sent from Canada to Australia to take part in the lnterfEmpire Centennial Celebration. It was a place on this Canadian team upon which Jim focussed his attention and this gave him an extra incentive to work. For some reason or other Jim was entered in two events at the trials in which the Canadian team was chosen, instead of the one he was most suited for, and this necessitated his running in six races at the trials, and that against a head wind. This is a little too much work for one afternoon even for a chamf pion and as a result his performance was affected. However, jim was select' ed as a memeber of the relay team on the Schoolboy Team. This was the culminaf tion of a program of hard conscientious work, selffdenial and courage for our beloved friend. As the time arrived for the Schoolboy Team to make its long journey to Australia ievents happened with such rapidity that .lim found himself aboard a steamship in the Pacific Ocean before he could recount for you his experiences. jim has made it possible, by contri- buting to our magazine the following account of his trip, for us to share with him some very exciting and interesting experiences. For this we are indeed grateful and we sincerely hope Jim's good luck will stay with him for the test of his days. T.E.I. Page 46 ACTA STUDENTIUM MONG the many new and exciting experiences on board ship, the most memorable was the initiation ceremony. It was to say the least, impressive. Old King Neptune, arrayed in all his regal grandeur was our judge and found us guilty, very guilty of disturbing the peace of the ship. We were sentenced to sit beside the swimming pool. After being forced to submit to an noneftoof -gentle lathering by Neptune's personal barber we were tipped into the pool. Mermaids, with rather more strength than we had supposed the ordinary mermaid to possess, kept us under water for some time. When we finally got out we were accepted as the true and loyal subjects of the great King of the Deep. That evening, Neptune, perhaps dis' satisfied with our vows of fealty sent a Flying Fish to visit us. Imagine our amazement when, as we we ware quietly sitting in our cabins one of these creatures hit the floor. It had flown in through the portfholeg the sea is filled with these small fish which fly close to the water like a flock of birds. Eight days after leaving San Francisco we stopped at Tahiti: I had always been fascinated by stories of the South Sea Islands and the reality at first was disappointing for the town of Papeeti was dull and uninteresting. However, the country fulfilled our best hopes. Tahiti is a French colony and our Vaughan Road French stood us in good stead. Wheii we tried to explain to a native that we wanted a bunch of bananas he got an axe and chopped down the tree. For this service he charged us the sum of fifteen cents and seemed most excited at neceiving so much money. But some of our boys got into real language difficulties and because they misunderstood the terms under which a car was rented them for a trip around the island finally landed in the police station. Their explanation to the police resulted in their release but the boat had to wait for them for five minutes. Our visit to Raratonga was one of the highlights of our trip. Here, through the kindness of the British Commission we visited a native school, went in for a swim, tried out the native canoes fvery awkward and slow but safer than our ownj and to crown all, enjoyed the meals served in native fashion. On a table cloth of wide leaves, were placed vegef tables, fruits, fowl and fish. The native believe in the old adage L'Fingers were made before forksi' and the only assist' ance we had in eating the meal was a spoon made of cocoa-nut shell. Races in the afternoon in which the natives to their surprise discovered that whites could beat them, a drive around the islands and an entertainment by native singers completed a most inter' esting day. I had rather an unfortunate experif ence when, on reaching New Zealand, we crossed the date line thereby losing a day. The last day happened to be my fbirthday. However, on Sunday we celebrated with a big party and all was well! In Melbourne the free and easy life we had been enjoying was changed to ACTA STUDENTIIIM Page 47 I l , 4 l S i 1 La... a life of hard training. For ninteen days we worked hard to get back into shape once more. The track there is of grass and circular, quite different from our cinder tracks. The other teams were the New Zealand team of nine boys and the Australian team of fourteen boys, all from Melbourne schools. In the meet we were successful in winning eight out of the eleven events and in gaining the championship. During our stay there each boy lived in the home of one of the Melbourne schoolfboys. Our visit was most interesting for the Australian people were hospitable and entertain' ing. After spending a few more days visiting interesting Australian towns we sailed for New Zealand. The Welling' ton schoolfboys interested us for they wore uniforms of short pants, flannel shirt and small skull cap. In this city also we took part in a track meet and were quite successful. From Wellington we went to Rotorura, a Maori town, the Maori people made our visit pleasant by entertaining us with native dances, war-cries and songs. The town is the centre of the thermal region. Everywhere we saw pools of boiling water. A nearby village is built amidst geysers, boiling pools and mud. No fires are needeclg the cooking is done in an oven placed in the sand: and the clothes are washed in these pools of hot water. At Rotorura and again at Auckland we took part in track meets. Out of fortyffive events which we had entered since leaving home we had won thirtyfsix and were well pleased. Our trip home was made more in' teresting by a stop at the Fijii Islands and Honolulu. We spent Christmas on board ship and arrived at Vancouver having covered a distance of twenty five thousand miles. jim Homer L., ,neva A. c-.

Mr. Shylock, a Queen St. pawnbroker sued Mr. An- tonio, peanut vendor, for breach of promise to pay him a pound of flesh which he had lent him, because his ships had gone astray. Quite a sensation was added to the proceedings because the judge was really a smart society girl of Belmont St., dressed up as a man. Chris- tian name Portia tsurname withheldl. Mr. Bassanio, a friend of Mr. Antonio, offered Mr. Shylock 6000 Ducats tShakespearian for 6000 Berriesl, but Mr. Shylock replied that he would not take them even if they were each brok- en up into six pieces. Mr. Shylock spoke Shakespearian Yiddish, quite dif- ferent from the modern Queen St, Yid- dish. The tables were turned, in spite of the treacherous trickery of the ter- rible tightwad, by the judicious juris- diction of jarring judge. When the Duke tnot Bessboroughj asked Mr. Shylock why he lead'st this passion of thy cruelty, the latter re- plied that he had a rat in his house, and he had sworn in Sabbath tHebrewj that he would get rid of it. He needed a pound of carrion tripej flesh to kill it. He seemed to dislike Mr. Antonio, often saying nasty things about him. When Mr. Bassanio tried to argue with Mr. Shylock, the question being whether you should let a snake bite you once or twice, Mr. Antonio interrupted by saying, You may as well go bid the main flood bate his usual height, mean- ing Go shut your trap. Mr. Gratiano, who seemed to have a very poor opinion of Mr. Shylock, said to him, Be thou damned, inexorable dog tmodern translation censoredj. A letter was then delivered to the Duke, recommending Miss tor Mrsj Portia, praising her highly, tpretending Sll3lIE5llNllllE5 by mail that she was a male, called Belthazzarj.

She told Shylock that he must be merciful, saying The quality of mercy droppeth as the gentle rain from Heaven meaning, If you're not merciful youre all wet. Mr. Shylock remained obdurate. Mr. Bassanio then offered him his hands, his heart and head, and after that, if he wanted them-6000 Ducats. But the prosecutor wanted a pound of Mr. Antonio's tummy, and would have nothing but a pound of Mr. Antonio's tummy. He began to call the poor de- fendant names again. A Daniel come to judgment, snorted Shylock sarcas- tically. Then justice Portia again begged Mr. Shylock to be merciful. f'Bid me tear the bond, said she suavely. But the hard-hearted prosecutor replied that he was standing on it. t'Most cheerfully I do beseech the court to give the judgmentf' chirped Mr. Antonio. Why then you must strip to the waist, answered the coy judge, blush- mg. Mr. Shylock then flattered justice Portia by telling her that she didn't look a day older than the last time he saw her.

Justice Portia reminded Mr. Shylock that he was to be careful not to shed any blood when he cut the steak off for it was not provided for in the bond.

Now Caesar went out with the Romans, His pen and his ink in his handg He went forth to conquer and pillage And write a new tale of the land. He first met the excellent Belgae Who turned out a hard nut to crack: But Caesar just rattled 'em under And stood where they couldn't hit back. The Britons indeed were a problem, But Caesar was chewing his peng And shortly he started to scribble And landed with numerous men. The island was grim and foreboding, And Caesar quite lost his fine art. He buckled on sword, belt, and helmet And ordered, Please, Jimmie, my cart! Now Boadicea was brilliant, Thugh Latin was dead to her, toog She rallied her far-scattered forces And taught him a new thing or two. Unfortunately for Caesar, His pen and his ink and his war, The senate just tickled his giblets And the great man existed no more. Now this is a sad little story, And, sadder still, Caesar lives on With poets like Homer and Virgil And every old son-of-a-gun.

Upholding the affirmative side of this question our loquacious team defeated in quick succession York Memorial: Earl Haig: Uxbridge. 'tResolved that there are more prac- tical and desirable means of preventing DEBATING international war than by government control of the manufacture of arma- ments , was the subject allotted for the semi-final and final debates. To prove their versatility this inimitable pair defeated Etobicoke defending the affirmative and then entering the final against Long Branch the continuation schools' champions, sucessfully defended the negative side.

Consee quently the schedule for the English periods was arranged so that one Friday each month would be set aside for this purpose. The subjects of the plays chosen by the groups, seven in number, were varif ous: Canadian History,love,comedy, and mystery. In spite of the fact that girls met with all the inconveniences of amateurs and had no 'help from the teacher, the performances were quite successful and in many cases a good deal of acting ability was shown.

The fact that Vaughan has won both senior and junior rugby championships two years in successionga fact never before accomplished in any high school league in Ontario-is alone enough to put the school in a prominent place on the sports map. but add to this the fact that the gymnastic championship was also won for the second consecutive year, and it is clearly seen that these meritorious and outstanding achievements claim for her a high and enviable position in the realm of sport. The winning of these three championships. raises the total of consecutive interschool championships won to seven. This is indeed a fine record, and it has only been possible through the line co-operation shown between the staff and pupils. The coaches could have been of the very best, and the teams composed of the very best players, but they would never have achieved their success had not these two factors been welded together by that spirit of co-operation. Howver. in winning these inter-school championships. the intra-mural program was in no way neglected. During no previous year at Vaughan, have so many students taken part in Athletics. Fololwing last years lead, inter-form leagues were organized in Rugby, Basketball, Hockey and Gymnastics and plans are being made for Track and Field competition. Thus, with such a tine program and spirit in the school, there can be but one outcomevsuccess-and surely the results this year cannot be counted anything but highly successful. 5, vw ' ff Z -. . i - .-121' f I -2 7.

ACTA STVDENTIUM Page 55 SlIE5lINllilf4OllPt lIPtllll4l?fill2s6Y When the rugby team met at the beginning of September, it was found that last year's championship senior ranks were sadly depleted. However, enough of the Old Guard were left to raise some optimism as to the ultimate outcome of the season. Under Mr. Iven's coaching new players developed to fill the gaps and provide the necessary opposition. Great credit is due to Mr. Ivens for his unceasing efforts in coaching the team and bringing it through to a second consecutive championship. Surely Mr. Ivens' refusal to spare himself, his earnestness and his untiring energy on behalf of the team were recognized and appreciated most highly by every member of the team. Oakwood According to annual custom. Vaughan Seniors preceeded the regular T.D,I.A..-X. schedule by an exhibition game with Oakwood. Also according to annual custom, Vaughan won, 18-O. This game turned out to be a nicer practise then usual for the team, as Oakwood Stadium is much softer than our own gridiron . Scarboro For the first schedule game of the season, Vaughan gridders journeyed to Scarboro where they took the East- enders into camp to the tune of 27-10. As the score indicated, Vaughan had a decided edge on the play, but Scar- boro by no means lay down on the job. Led by the half-line of Prince, McKay and Pollard, the Vaughan team gave a very fair showing for so early in the season. However, at times they gave evidence of faltering and Scar- boro seized upon these opportunities and turned them into major scores on two occasions. By the end of the game, the team was functioning smooth- ly enough to promise something for the future games. Weston In beating Weston the next week by the score of Z1-1, the tri-colour team showed plenty of old vim vigour and vitality . They clearly had the edge over their opponents both along the line and in the backfield. Prince had a decided advantage over the the first period The team was Weston kicker and in he kicked three singles. working well. Dunlop made some nice plunges and McKay went over for Vaughans first touchdown. Though Weston had played good football in the first half, they wilted under double strain of holding the heavy plunging of Parlow and Oliphant, and chasing McKay and Prince on their end runs. Following two Prince to McKay for- wards, Prince took the ball around the end for a touchdown which Butch con- verted. Scobie kicked a single and the Vaughan team started another parade up the field which ended with McKay getting the touch which he converted. The team sure appeared to be on the right track in this game. York Memorial Up until this game, the going had been fairly easy and Vaughan had never had a real test either of their playing ability or their fighting spirit. They were to receive both in this game. The score 9 to 1 does not indicate the close- ness of the game. In the first half Vaughan was only able to score three points, and only McKay's great open field running kept York from piling up a big score. Near the end of the half, York had the Vaughan team on their own 1 year line and due to the marvellous show of fighting heart on the part of the Vaughan team, were not able to advance the ball 1 inch on three downs. After this the team picked up momentum and marched triumphantly down the field, gaining yards time after time due to the strong plunging of Oliphant and Parlow and the good work of the line. This power attack ended in a touchdown and cinched the game for Vaughan, though York con- Page 56 ACTA STUDENTIUM tinued to press until the end of the game. Runnymede The next game brought us up against our old rivals, Runnymede, and pro- mised to be a good game, as both teams, at that time, were undefeated. Vaughan had the edge throughout the whole game despite the reverse score of 5-3. In the first quarter the heavier Vaughan line with Oliphant and Par- low doing the plunging, carried the ball deep into Runnymede territory and Prince kicked for the first point. Play was more even in the second quarter, but Vaughan received another point via Princes toe. The second half found both teams giving everything they had, as is the custom in Vaughan Road- Runnymede tilts. Runnymede got a touchdown on a long forward pass, but the Vaughan team settled down and nearly duplicated Runnymedes play when Prince tossed a forward to Scobie who galloped to the 5-yard line. Then Pollard carried the ball for what was a touchdown in everybody's language except the referees. In the fourth quarter Vaughan got another single through Princes great kicking and started a passing attack, Prince to Christie, which was stopped by full time. East York After their defeat at the hands of Runnymede, the Vaughan team was out for revenge. Add to this the effect of Mr. Ivens' pep talk before the game, and it was little wonder that every player felt quite capable of taking on the whole East York team by himself. After five minutes of the flrst quarter, Prince tossed a 50-yard pass to McKay who went over for the touch. In the second quarter Prince kicked a single after a long run by Pollard. Parlow and Oliphant were hitting the line for large gains. In the second half half East York, weakened by the pace set by Vaughan, faded. The tri-colour team staged an orgy of scoring in the last period when Prince kicked two singles and carried the ball over for a touch. Dunlop kicked a placement as well as converting Prince's touch, making the final score 17-O. When the schedule ended, it was found that in each group, there were three teams tied for first place. It was arranged that instead of group elimina- tions, the three hrst teams in one group should play the three first teams of the other group. In this arrange- ment Vaughan drew Port Credit. Port Credit Early in the first quarter Vaughan began to turn it on and after a long run by Scobie and McKay, Mackay went over for the touch and then con- verted it. Late in the first half, Prince pulled a great play when he caught the ball on a kick, and returned it for a gain of SO yeards. Prince kicked another single shortly, following a nice run by McKay. After this point, Vaughan staged the best offensive of the game. Led by McKay, Scobie and Parlow they plunged down the fleld and McKay carried the ball over for the second touchdown. In the second half neither team was able to score though Vaughan held an edge as the play see-sawed back and forth. Christie and Winthrow were doing some great tackling in this game. The game ended with the score 12-1 for Vaughan. This advancing them to the semi-finals of the league, in which they stacked up against York Memorial. York Memorial After the ding dong battle between Vaughan and York Memorial on their last meeting, and with elimination for one team hovering over the players' heads, a rousing battle was expected when these two teams met to see who would advance to meet Mimico in the T.D.I.A.A. final. The game turned out even better than expected. Play was close throughout the whole game and victory was uncertain until well on in the last quarter. Due to a tough break tfor Vaughanj York scored a touch- down in the first few minutes. This put the Vaughan team on the spot, but they came through nobly. They started a march down the field in which McKay, Hickey and Parlow went for large gains and Prince tore across for the touch which McKay converted. ACTA STl'DlCNTII'M Page 57 Dunlop ran the kick-off back for a long gain. In the second quarter Prince out-kicked the York punter to get the tying point. A Prince to Dun- lop forward and yards by Oliphant and McKay put Vaughan in a threatening position when the half ended. In the third quarter there was no scoring, the play ranging back and forth in mid- field. Christie was making a fine job of tripping the York players over their own shoe laces. In the fourth quarter Vaughan started an attack that broke the tie in their favour. A long kick by Prince which he raced to recover put Vaughan in position for a single which Prince made sure of. The line kept up the pressure and before the end of the game Prince kicked two more singles to make the final score 10-7. The team in this game showed that they had everything it took to make a great rugby team, with every man turning in a great effort. Mimico This game turned out to be one of the most wide-open and thrilling games the team played this year. Both teams' offensive play was better than the other teams defence, and the result was many long runs which had the fans on their feet for a good portion of the game. An illustration of the type of game is given by the fact that yards were made 29 times-15 for Vaughan and 14 for Mimico. Although the Vaughan team was playing its third game inside of a week and its fourth in two weeks. there was not the least sign of any weakness in any position. Vaughan started off the game in great style. McKay went for 30 yards on the first play, and then Vaughan got yards four times in a row with McKay, Dunlop and Oliphant doing the ball carrying. Then Prince kicked his first point. Shortly after the start of the second quarter, Prince kicked a long one and tearing in, recovered on the Mimico 5-yard line, from here he kicked a single on the next play. In the third quarter there was plenty of exciting play but no scoring. The tackling of Christie and IVinthrow was very effective. In this quarter, McKay who had been doing some fine plunging and open running collided with a Mimico player and received severe injuries to his mouth which forced him to leave the game. In the fourth quarter the Vaughan team forged ahead and scored three more singles, all of them by Princes great kicking. The first came near the beginning of the quarter when Charlie caught the ball, ran 3 yards and while on the dead run kicked a perfect spiral which went for SO yards more. The second a few plays later. and the last on the dying moments of the game. Thus Vaughan Road took the final game 5-1. and the Senior championship for the second consecu- tive year. St. Michaels In the first game of the Provincial play-offs, Vaughan came up against St. Michaels. Though the final score was 19-1, it does not indicate the way in which the game was contested. Vaughans refusal to admit defeat and their plucky playing made it more then interesting for St. Mikes in all de- partments of the game. In the first quarter Vaughan got off to a bad start but soon rallied. Forcing St. Mike's back by Princes kicking they gained possession of the ball in St. Mike's 25-yard line. Then they pushed for- ward to the IO yard strip by Oliphant plunging. They tried an onside kick on the next play which just missed being recovered for a touch and which only went for a single. Throughout the second quarter Vaughan had an edge on the play. They gained yards 5 limes due to fine plunging by McKay, Oliphant and Parlow. At- half time Vaughan looked like the better team. In the third quarter they kept up the pressure and the great work by McKay in running back kicks, the plunging of Parlow and the tackling of Christie and Winthrow gave St. Mike's plenty to worry about, while Princes fine kicking was always a thorn in their side. In the last quarter passes intercepted by Christie and Pollard and a Prince to McKay forward put Vaughan in a challenging position. The advantage Page 58 ACTA STUDENTIUM was lost but Vaughan started another passing attack with passes from Prince to Christie and Prince to Haigh going for good gains as the game ended. This finished rugby at Vaughan for this year, but after the magnificent fight- ing spirit and wonderful playing ability shown by the team, there can be no feeling other than great pride of accomplishment. PERSONNEL Prince fcapt.j W Charlie was con- sidered the best High School kicker in Toronto and his kicking was standout in every game this year. Charlie also threw the forwards for the team. Be- cause of his reputation he has to take a lot from the other teams. but always comes through with a fine performance. Plays heady rugby. He occasionally took a turn at quarter this year. His trickiness in handling the ball on end runs had the opposition cross-eyed. Parlow tvice-capt.b -- Wimpy turned in a line game along the line, both plunging and opening up holes. It always gave the fans a kick to see Ted go on a plunge and jump right through anybody crazy enough to get in the way . Played a strong defensive game. McKay-Turned in a great preform- ance on the half-line. Specialized in thrusts around the end and in open held running where he was without equal. Butch played a strong game on the secondary and tackled them plenty and hard. His favourite trick of encour- aging the line with his toe gave the fans a laugh. Showed lots of courage in playing the St. Mikes game despite an injury received the previous week. Oliphant-Not only did George have a lot to do with the success of Vaughan's plunging attack but the value of his ability in inspiring his team mates was inestimable. They would have been a greatly different team without George out there constantly urging them on. For his all-around ability, George was voted the most valuable man on the team. Congrats! Pollard-Guided the team perfectly from quarter. He was never at a loss for the right play, and a lot of credit is due to Dunc. Pulled many a fine run and packed a mean tackle as St. Mikes found out. Dunlop-Played either half or flying wing and played equally well at each position. Was good for many yards on his short end plunges, and also turned in a powerful game on the secondary. Christie-Though small and light, Stan was a constant worry to the op- posing halves with his accurate shoe string tackling, His tackling was the feature of several of the latter games. Winthrow- Nap was about on a par with Christie. He was likely to turn up anywhere and down the op- posing ball-carrier. Occasionaly Nap mistook a players neck for his ankles, but there is no questioning his effective- ness. Calvert-With Calvert at snap there was no fear of any wild throws. Besides this. Cal. turned in a strong defensive game at centre secondary and very few indeed got through his territory. Henderson-Put last years experi- ence to good use and came through this year as regular inside. Was exception- ally tricky in breaking through the opposing line and stopping the play dead. Eric had a lot to do with open- ing the holes for the plungers. RobertsonfAlthough this was Bert's first year in rugby he developed very rapidly and well earned his position at regular inside. Quiet and hard- working, Bert turned in a lot of ex- cellent rugby. Responsible for much line line interference. ScobiefPlayed both half and line positions. Ken played fine football this year until a nasty injury received toward the end of the season kept him out of the latter games. Relieved Sharlie of the kicking duties at times and held his own with the opposing hoofers. Leach-Despite his lack of weight, Jack made his presence at outside ACTA STUDENTIUM Page 59 wing known to the opposing halves. Did some very nice tackling and could be relied upon. Only kept from regular line-up by brilliance of the flrst-string outsides. Hickey - After starting the season player late, Hickey proved a valuable by the end of the season. He played particularly well in the play-off games. Wilcox-Due to a serie of injuries this year, Tom was kept out of the game a great deal at the first of the season. Was able to play more regularly later on and came through with all of last years pep and fight. Small-Another player in the same boat as Wilcox. Due to injured shoulders -lim was forced to go easy. When able to play he gave a fine ex- hibition of tackling on the secondary and handled the snapping well. Menzies-Came out toward the end of the season and brought his track speed to the half-line. Walt picked up the game readily and soon developed into a good player. Turned in nice efforts in the play-offs. Philips-Played outside position and when called on played a steady game. Tried hard throughout the year. Stainton - Lack of experience kept Stainton out of the game as a regular, but didn't stop him from giving them plenty of opposition in practises. McMullen - Alternated at fiying wing. Needs some more experience and he will make a good Senior player. Black-Andys first year at rugby, and he was kept on the second team most of the time but helped to give much needed opposition to the regulars. Davis - Another first year player who tried hard and helped the team a lot by playing on the seconds. Pearce-His efforts, too, were con- fined a great deal to the seconds where he tried hard. The 'ol rabbit hunter should be heard from next year. Q-illlllllINlllIlfOilR lllillllfglllbck When practices started this year the juniors were in a better position than any other year as they had seven of the previous years championship team back. New players were added to the regular team from the horde that turned out and after a few weeks of Mr. Barton's training they were ready to step into any game. To Mr. Bartons training, his leadership and rugby adility goes the credit the team received for bringing back the Junior Cup again, and going through the season without a single loss. Mr. Barton gave unsparingly of his time and energy for the team and every player on the team appreciated greatly his effort on their behalf. Oakwood The previous year Oakwood had held the juniors to a tie, so this year they were out for revenge, and got it to the tune of 22-O. They had a clear edge on the play but got the idea that all games are won without much work. Scarboro They were still thinking that when they stocked up against Scarboro in the game. In the first half first league the line was practically a minus quan- tity, leaving the offensive work to the halves and the defensive work to the secondary. Scarboro took advantage of this system, and marched through for a touchdown. However, when Mr. Barton got through with the team at half time, they were wide awake and their heads were down to normal size. They began to function together and came from behind to pick up 10 singles. The work of the half-line in this game was outstanding and promised well for future games. Weston The Yaughan team settled down to play serious in this game and the score of 23-O showed that they made no mistake. In the first quarter Vaughan started with a long pass, Thompson to Harold and a Thompson-Grandjean end run took the former over for the first touch. In the second quarter Haigh added a single and Dunford plunged for a touch after a long run by Grand- jean. Then Harold intercepted a page 60 Am'TA STI'D1'lNTII 'M Q03 Vw 'F- ,. J . Qs? 0 ' .

In the second half Vaughan added six more points on a single by Thompson and a touch by Manson. This game gave more signs of improve- ment by the team as a whole than were shown before. York Memorial The Vaughan team started off in great They style against York Memorial. put on a power attack which led right up the field and Haigh went over on an end run for Vaughan's first touch. The Juniors kept up the pressure and soon worked into a position for Grand- jean to go around the end for the second touch of the game. Towards the end of the half, Dunford went over for Vaughan's third touchdown. In the second half the Juniors showed signs of weakening when thew allowed York to get two touchdowns. However, they rallied when the game looked to be in danger and were on the way to the York goal line when the game ended, giving them the game, 15-10. Runnymede This game with Runnymede gave the Juniors the acid test and they came through wonderfully. Runnymede had a powerful team which held the Vaughan team scoreless until the fourth quarter. Both teams played heads up rugby with the usual Vaughan Road-Runnymede fervour. In the first half, the Runnymede team scored two singles against the stubborn- ly fighting Juniors. The half line of Thompson, Grandjean and Haigh was playing fine rugby, with Thompson doing good kicking. After half time the team started out to show that they had the courage to come from behind against a good team. This process started by getting the best of play in the third quarter, and keeping the score stationary. Rowney and Johnston at outside were doing a fine job of the tackling. Then in the fourth quarter with every player playing inspired ruby they came through with four singles to take the game 4-2. This was the most exciting game of the Junior schedule and in winning it, the team showed that they had all the hghting spirit neces- sary for a championship team. East York Vaughan kept their winning record throughout the schedule complete when they defeated the East York team 17-3 the next week at Ulster Stadium. In the first period there was no score, then in the second frame the Vaughan team warmed up and when Dunford blocked a kick in East York's territory, John- ston grabbed the ball and went for a touchdown. Johnston was hurt as was Partington a few minutes later. However, Vaughan kept up the pres- sure and Grandjean plunged for the second touchdown which was convert- ed. Later in the second half Thomp- son kicked a single. With East York weakening, Grandjean went over for Vaughan third touch, after a Thomp- son to Harold forward. The game was finished in semi-darkness through which the players could faintly be seen. Once more the Th:mmpson-Grandjean-Haigh half line turned in a great game, This finished the regular schedule for the first in the league, they received a bye Vaughan team and as they finished into the finals, playing the winner of the semi-final between Runnymede and Mimico. Runnymede When Runnymede won the right to play Vaughan in the final, everyone remembered their last meeting and looked for a great struggle between these two teams. With the experts call- ing Runnymede to win, the teams met and it was soon evident that the wise men were wrong. Runnymedes main threat in the first game had been their plunging, but Mr. Barton had figured out a defense for this, and the line backed by Grandjean, Haigh and Dun- ford on the secondary, presented a stone wall defence. In the first quarter Vaughan capitalized on Runnymedes errors, and scored 3 singles through Thompson's long hoists. In the second quarter play was closer but Vaughan kept up the pressure and had an edge on the play. Johnston and Truman were Page 62 ACTA STUDENTIUM doing some fine tackling. The second half was mostly Vaughan's. Early in the third quarter Thompson kicked Vaughan's fourth point. On the very next play Thompson intercepted a pass and ran 40 yards to set the stage for a touchdown for Grandjean. There was no further scoring and the game ended 9-1 for Vaughan, who had proved, in- deed, worthy champions. After the game the team carried Mr. Barton from the field on their shoulders, so great was their joy in keeping the Junior Cup for the fourth year in succession. PERSONNEL Dunford fcapt.J-Turned in a strong game at centre secondary with his hard tackling there as well as playing a good plunging game at middle wing. Made good interference along the line. Also had the ability to inspire the other members of the team to keep plugging when the going was difficult, and to create real team play. Moved up to play with the Seniors in their last game. Partington tvice-capt.J - Played quarter this year and managed the team in a fine manner. Kept his head in the jams and called the right plays every time. Potts also played on the secondary where his tackling was line. Showed courage in playing the final game with a badly injured ankle. Thompson-Was the junior Charlie Prince. His kicking and open field running were features of every game and his work on the end runs and his plunging made him a triple threat man. Moved up to Seniors for their last game. Grandjean - Valuable man on the half line because of his plunges around the ends as well as his work on the end runs. Grandjean also played on the secondary and when he tackled them they stayed tackled. His open field running was outstanding. Was another to move to Seniors for their last game. Haigh-The third member of the star half-line. Worked well on the end runs and was a sure and hard tackler. Bert hit the line hard on his plunges around the ends and gained much ground in this way. Also moved to Senior. Brown-Played a fine game at middle until he was laid up with a bad injury that kept him out for a good part of the season. Was very hard to take out and therefore broke up many of the other teams' plays before they got going. Did some good plunging also. Johnston-Although this was john- stonls first year in rugby he turned in a fine game at outside where his tackling was deadly to the opposing halves. Whetton-Improved greatly through- out the season and toward the end of the season was playing fine rugby at middle wing. Was one of the strongest plungers on the team as Well as a strong defensive player. Rowney-Madre a fine job of his position at outside and his tackling was hard on the other teams' shoe strings. Paterson-Was the snap and made a fine job of it. There were no bad snaps with Pat in there. In addition played a good game on the line and broke up many a play before the other team knew what it was all about. Pat was also a good open field tackler. Provan-This was Andy's first year at rugby, but he made a regular berth at inside wing. Andy's great forte was interference and he was responsible for many a plungers gain. Harold-Played liying wing and was usually on the receiving end of the forward passes. Tom did some fine open field running and gained much ground in that way. Boyce - Another first year player who made a regular position at inside. Was particularly hard to take out, being a good defensive lineman and made a fine job of the interference. Plumb-Played half and was very fast. Was a good plunger and worked in well on end runs. Gained a lot of useful experience and should be heard from a lot next year. Day - Was the strongest alternate lineman. Improved steadily through- -2 iii ACTA STUDENTIVM Pa ge 63 out the season and turned in fine games, especially toward end of the season. Truman-Was a strong and accurate tackler in the open field and filled the outside wing position well. Went ex- ceptionally well in the final game. Coghill - Was relief lineman and carried out his duties well. The line never weakened when he was on. Manson-Was alternate quarter. Was only kept from regular berth by Part- ington's line play, but when he was called on, he made no mistakes rin choosing his plays. Myers-This was Myers' first year at rugby and he picked up a lot of valuable experience that should show well next year. Yeo-Had a lot of hard luck with injuries, yet came back to stick out the season. Did some fine tackling when given the opportunity. Allen - Was alternate snap. His weight was a big disadvantage. yet he clearly showed when he played all of one game, that he had the goods. Was the spark plug of the second team. Taylor-Frank has plenty of weight and patience and gained much experi- ence so that he can use it to good advantage next year. Was an alternate inside wing. Helped out the second team a lot. BealeAAlternate flying wing and half. Gave much valuable service on the second team. Lowney - Alternate half. Lowney tried hard and with a little more ex- perience will make a good backlielder. Mention must be made of the work of Gough and Woodhouse, managers of the Senior and Junior teams respective- ly. Their etforts on behalf of the players were unlimited, and although it is no light task to look after the equipment and the thousand and one things necessary to rugby, they carried these duties through smoothly and suc- cessfully. Credit must also go to Norm Pow the teams' water-boy, who was a very popular lad with the players be- tween periods of a game. The teams also wish to thank the cheer-leaders. Green. Johnstone, Low- ney and Sharpe, both for their own support and also the support which they encouraged in the fans. To Mr. Rose. the trainer of the teams, goes the credit for the fine con- dition of the boys throughout. though it was a long and hard one. Mr. Rose was kept very busy. There was always a crowd of players at his home at night waiting to be put together and he always came through with the desired result. The fact that Vaughan was able to held a well-conditioned team was due in large part to Mr. Rose. INTERSCHOOL TRACK AND FIELD The track and field programme was got underway during the Easter Holi- days. when several practises were held and the field prepared. Then as soon as school commenced, the serious train- ing began with Mr. Vyvyan coach- ing the held events. and Mr. Harston the track events. Although severely handicapped by a lot of bad weather. the team got in quite a bit of training. Then on Saturday. May 11, the T.D.I.A..-X. meet was held at Exhibition Park. The Competition this year was faster and keener than ever before, and although everyone on the team gave of their best, Vaughan was not able to retain the shield which had been won the previous year. Nevertheless, a good showing was made, as the fol- lowing results show: 100 years, Senior, W. Menzies III: Intermediate. J. Rowney III. 220 yards, Senior, W. MenziesIII.

Under Mr. Ivens and Mr. Harston. the chaps try- ing for the team received their prepara- tion for the picking of the team to represent Vaughan Road at the T.D.I. AA. meet. The team was picked dur- ing the gym display which immediately preceded the Easter Holidays. The judge of the competition was Mr. R. Bonny, chairman of the Dominion A.A.I.'. of C. Committee of Gymnastics, and his final choice for the team was Keith, Graham, Pow, Leach, Orr and McKeown. Although the T.D.I.A..-X. competition was much keener this year, and more teams were entered, the Vaughan team gave a marvellous exhibition to take the cup for the second year in succes- sion and to show that Vaughan still leads in sports. Encouraged by this nnal showing, the team decided to enter the Ontario High School Cham- pionships which were held at Hart House during the Easter week. Despite the fact that they had had only twelve practices as compared with the year- round gymnastic activity of many of the teams participating, the Vaughan team again gave a fine display and succeeded in gaining fifth place. Th's was a remarkable exhibition as they had to defeat many more experienced teams which had been called to place high. It is to the credit of the team to note that out of a possible score of 1,600 points, they were but 157 points behind hrst place. PERSONNEL Keith tcapt.l.

There were four divisions in the league. The mid- get series was composed of first forms and was won by I-E. In the junior series, which was made up of second forms, there was a tie for the champion- ship. and though a game was glayed at Rivina Rink, a champion could not be decided. Therefore crests were given both to Il-F and II-D. In order to insure even competition, the intermedil ate and senior series were rather a mixture of forms. In the intermediate series. composed of C-II-B, III-C, III-D and all fourth forms, the winning team was C-II-B.

Though labouring under the handicap of inexperience, the teams played with an earnestness that would do credit to any team. The league was divided into three groups: the juniors composed of first forms: the intermediates composed of second forms, and the seniors made up of third, fourth and fifth forms. When the wreckage was cleared away and the tumult and the shouting died, it was found that the team of C-I-C and C-I-B had won the junior series. that the team of II-E and II-D had con- quored their intermediate rivals. and that Y-A and B team was supreme in the senior series. The Teams C-I-C and B - Rallinson, Merritt. Johnston, Cascone, O'Kelt, Cascone, Watson, Middleton, Atkins, Curley, Buck, Williamson, Gray. Roberts. II-E and D-Bayne, Wilcox, Humble. 1 Forsyth, Rolls, Stiff, Boyd, MacKenzie Michael, Belby, Rud, Smyth, Kent, McLennan, Flook, Goggins, Cook, Brittain, Gegnes.

Wilson. ln addition to the interform league games, the team of Y-A and B initiated an outside series of games with teams of other collegiates. Under the coach- ing of Mr. Yyvyan the Yth team gained a high degree of efficiency. They journeyed tirst to York Memorial where they defeated their school teams seconds by a score of 17-O. Then they went to Earl Haigh where they suffered their one defeat, 6-1. However, this stain was removed in the return game when the score was 8-O for the Vaughan team. As a wind up of the interform league. a game was arranged between the team of Y-A and B and an all-star team com- posed of players from third and fourth forms The game was conducted with great ceremony. Mr. Evans kicked off, and Mr. Ivens and Mr. Barton acted as officials. Fifth form were victors, Z tol, though they were given a good run for their money. HOUSE LEAGUE BASKETBALL Although we are sorry that we couldn't enter basketball teams in the T.D.I.A..-X. league this year it is quite evident that the calibre of basketball played in our house league has not diminished any. Our exhibition games with York Memorial and Runymede pointed out that we could more than hold our own in any High School League. The physical training staff chose four of the more experienced players Dunc. Pollard, Lyn. Thompson. Charlie Prince and Walt. Menzies to captain the teams which they themselves picked from among the better players. The league was hotly contested throughout and was eventually won by Princes team who nosed out Menzies' team after splitting the scheduled games with them. The line-up for the championship game was as follows: C. Prince tcapt.J, K. Scobie, N. Pow, F. Pitts, J. Hadler, T. Dubinsky. F. Wetton. W. Menzies tcapt.J, B. Haigh, S. Christie, H. Smith, J. Frazer, G. Williams, T. Hickey. Page 70 ACTA STUDENTIUIE INTRA-MURAL Starting after the Christmas Holi- days, Inter-Mural basketball progressed in both gyms every Tuesday and Thursday from 3:30 to 5:30. With about forlty Veams taking part, the time limit had to be extended over that of last year. In this way our inter-form basketball programme is the longest of any school around Toronto. The games were played in a variety of ways, from the comical antics of the first formers to the rough and ready style of the upper school. These made a striking contest with the smooth and more intelligent basketball of the House League. The team of IG composed of Maule fcaptj, Kemp, Poole, Embree, Frankel, Henley, Browning and Cruickshank managed to struggle to the first form INTRA-MURAL Interform gymnastics this year reach- ed the highest position which it has ever held at Vaughan. All together there were 27 teams entered. The or- ganization, preparatory coaching and judging was all carried out by Mr. Harston, Mr. Ivens, Mr. Barton and Mr. Yyvyan. Much credit is due these teachers for their work in this line pro- gramme. After several weeks devoted to arduous practise the competitions were held. Three divisions were made, fifth and fourth forms composing the senior group, third and second forms composing the intermediate group and first forms making up the junior group. Besides team awards, individual cham- pions were recognized in each of the three groups. In the senior group the individual champion was Keith, with Pollard, Graham, Pow and Leach following in order mentioned. The team award was carried off by V-I consisting of Keith 1capt.J, T. Christie, S. Christie, Solo- mon and Hudson. Second place was captured by V-II composed of Pow fcaptj, Graham, Brigham, Scobie, and BASKETBALL championship. Goodman fcapt.j, Parish, Secker, Smith, Coghill, Jacobs and Hadlow of CIIB squeezed through to win 'the honours among the second and third forms and the IVB team of Markle Ccaptj, Malton, Penner, Leach, Webb, McCorroll, Orr and Stainton plunged and trampled their way to victory over the fourth and fifth forms. Mr. Harston, Mr. Vyvyan, Mr. Bar- ton, Mr. Ivens and several of the senior boys deserve a great deal of credit for the expert way in which the league was run, even overshadowing the feat of last year. Menzies, Prince, Christie, Pollard, Thompson, Green, Eldridge, McMaster and Wetton acted as referees and Bert Cowan filled the roll of league secretary. GYM NASTICS May.

ACTA STYDENTIVM - ' 1 ' ' ii Xt .,., 1 X 1 X10 X X, Y WAY back in the fall of 1929, an overgrown boy of 12 competed in our school field day and placed third in the T70 yard dash. This was the be' ginning of the outstanding carrer in High School Athletics of jim Homer. Two years later he won the Toronto District Intermediate Shot Put Title. ln 1932 after starring at rugby in the fall jim turned again to track and field in the spring and carried off the T.D.I.A.A. Intermediate 100 and 220 yard dash titles, also annexing the Ontario Inter' mediate Shot Put Crown, setting a new record, and being the first boy from Vaughan Road ever to gain such an honour. Page T1 O O O The most successful year in Athletics to date for Vaughan Road was also the greatest for jim. Although only a junior, he was the largest boy on the Senior Rugby team and was a potent factor in the team's bid for the O.R.F.L'. title. Much was expected of jim in the field events last year, but after winning the Ontario junior Shot Put Championship at the Broadview Boys Fall Fair an inf jured shoulder forced him to concentrate on running. At the T.D.I.A.A. meet he was second in the all round champion' ship, with victories in both Sprints and second in the Shot Put. The following week he was Toronto District Champion in the 100 and 220 yard dashes and finished second and first respectively in the Ontario finals. Later in Hamilton, at the Canadian Interscholastic Cham' pionships, he only managed to place third in the 220 but redeemed himself by winning several tropies at Kingston and Cornwall. The climax to his fortunes came last August when jim competing against boys from all over Canada was awarded a place on the Boys Intraflfmpire Team. On his way to Australia jim was elected Captain of the team by the other members and proved his worthiness by leading the Canadian relay to victories at lxielhourne, Vkfellington, Auckland and Rotorura as well as making an im' pressive showing in several other events. This thrilling trip marks the end of a joyous High School career in Sports for Jim Homer, and although it may never be repeated by any boy from Vaughan Road, it will always serve as an inspiration to those who follow, Page 72 At l'A S'l'T'DlCXTIUM ll3fllfllRllBS9 AGlIl'llliIllIlf,lllE?flllflIlll13QW This year the policy of the school with regards to Girls' Sports has been to emphasize those activities which can be indulged in long after the end of our school days. Tennis, Badminton and Swimming have been encouraged on this HCCOUYIT. Inter-form games of Basketball with other schools supplanted the Inter-scho- lastic Basketball League. We hope to enlarge upon this in the future and extend it to Badminton and other sports. A Senior Basketball League was in operation and considered a great success. There are rumours of a junior League for next year. This extensive program was made possible only by the addition of two new teachers to our staff, Miss Prittie and Miss Hayden. :tif-it TENNB Shortly after coming back to school in the fall the girls could be seen breath- lessly pursuing the tennis ball on the front lawn of the school. The only great trouble experienced was that the ball went over the fence more times than over the net and chose to bounce at every impossible angle. The Tennis Club was organized under the supervision of Miss Prittie. The equipment of the Fifth Form Tennis Club of five years ago was used and a new outfit purchased as well. All the girls were free to use the courts and every night there was some' one on them till the cold weather sent us inside dragging the nets after us. We hope the moths havent eaten them as we hope to have a tournament this Spring. I wonder if a retreiving com- mittee could be organized. 3lODt BASKETBALL Houseleague The boys' HousefLeague Basketball games having been such a success last year, the girls decided to follow suit by introducing a league into their schedule. Accordingly the girls who were inter- ested, about 69 or 70 in number, held a meeting in November. The III, IV and V forms were included in this. Miss Mason took charge and is to be com' plimented for her spendid work in pick' ing the teams, training them, arranging schedules and numerous other things which took up the greater part of her time after hours. At first nearly half the original number of girls had to be eliminated: then the teams were picked and the captains chosen. In spite of all this, however, the league was well under' way by Christmas. The games continued right on till the latter part of March and finished as follows: First place VCD A, Patterson cap. Second lllflj D. Smith Third- IVKU A. Buck Fourth N lllflj M.

At least one and even two or three teams from every form were organ' ized. The preliniinaries were over quickly and with little fuss. The final games between III B and III C were de' layed by examinations and had to be played at last in a P.T. period as both classes take gym together. After three very close and very exciting games III C managed to win two of the three games. We hope this interesting game will be resumed with even greater en' thusiasm next year. 1101i BADMINTON Badminton went over big this year- there were rackets supplied by the school. Every Form had opportunities to ref ceive instruction from Miss Prittie. The Tournament started April 1 with a good number participating. Who knows some day a Champion Badminton Player may come from Vaughan! ACTA STUDENTIUM Page275 Y ' , V ,gi 5 A ,. RA. -QQ-xxif-lwznvq--5v.i.g.1N..5,, N- 5 - W .- , 1 ' L E- 1 ' - ' f I . N,.,, .

TRACK AND FIELD Since it was impossible to hold a regular track and field meet this year, competitions in the various events were held after school hours from May lst to May 10th. Although many girls took part, junior and senior entrants were not so numerous as in other years. As a result the closest competition was seen in the intermediate group, girls hfteen and sixteen years of age. In- dividual championships were awarded as follows: junior - Dorothy Burleigh CID, Runner-up-Violet Roberts ID. Intermediate - Peggy West IIA, Runners-up - Dorothy Roberts IIA, Ruby Warton ftiedj. Senior - Louise Griffiths CIV, Runner-up-Ruby Christian IIB. Champion Form-IIA. The Toronto District Meet was held at the Exhibition Grounds on Saturday, May 11th, with representatives from twelve suburban schools competing. Runnymede girls won first place with 38 points, Vaughan Road second with 27 points, and Weston third with 21 points. A feature of the meet was the work of Doris Chellew, Senior Champion, who scored more than half of the points for the Runnymede team. Peggy West of Vaughan scored nine points, only one point behind Bernice Mathers of Etobicoke, the Intermediate Champion. The most closely contested event among the girls was the 440-yard relay race, in which Runnymede won by inches over Vaughan Road. Dorothy Burleigh, a junior and Yaughan's fourth runner tried valiantly to retain the lead her team-mates had given her, but found the veteran Doris Chellew just a little too speedy for her. Point winners at the meet were as follows: junior - Dorothy Burleigh, Znd Basketball Throw, 3rd Basketball Throw Marjory Ward, Violet Roberts. Intermediate-Peggy West, lst 75- Yard Dash: Znd Running Broad jump, 3rd Basketball Throw. Ruby Warton, 2nd Standing Broad jump. Dorothy Roberts, 3rd Basketball Throw. Senior - Dorothy Christian, Ist Basketball Throw: Louise Griffiths, Standing Broad jump, 3rd Running Broad jump. In addition to the above, the fol- lowing girls competed in different events: juniors - Reta Blankley, Madeline Capone, Manette Davidson, Letty Smart, Dolly Smith, Olive Walsh. Intermediate-Doris Handley, Luella Hall, Margaret Mclvor. Seniors - Beatrice Brown, Ruth Carter, Marjorie Gilbert, Jean McRae, Edith Pudder, Adele Redman. With the majority of our track girls back at school next year with two years' experience behind them we hope to be able to move up from second place which we have held for two successive years.

For example: Oh, all the world is but a stage, 'Tis very plain to see, With players there of every age, Among them you and me. For the convenience of students who are poor spellers, why not make the wording very simple: Example: One man plays many parts, while there: In all, they total seven: He comes from God alone knows where, And goes, we hope, to Heaven. Do I offend the English Department too much by suggesting insertions of modern slang? Why? So that we poor students may more easily comprehend. Example: At first, the brat, for crying out loud He surely cops the prize: The schoolfboy, bloody but unbowed, Who socks 'em, any size. And then the jazz hound and his frail, The doughboy in the trench: The judge, who gives 'em hail or jail, The old guy on the bench. And then the gink with skinny leg, His glasses on his brow: His dome looks like an ostrich egg: His voice is cracked, and how! And last, the chap who's not all there: He's lived long, if not well: Two wooden legs and carts a spare: Poor nut, seems bound for--. Dorothy Stilson, IVfB. A MTOUCHINGU POEM There are three words, the sweetest words In all of human speech More sweet than all the songs of birds On pages poets preach. This life may be a vale of tears, A sad and dreary thing, Three words and trouble disappears, And birds begin to sing. Three words will cheer the saddest days, MI love you? Wrong by heck! It is another, sweeter phrase- Enclosed lind cheque. lk Pk lk IE. The day started and progressed as many schooldays do, quietly and with nothing unusual happening. However, in the third period, the teacher being out of the room things started with a bang. Lets Russel up some chalk and have a fight. Our side can Beetam all. So the battle waged, the White missiles fly' ing everywhere. Power-ful drives at long range, Smart tosses just across the aisle mingled with yells of challenge. Suddenly a deathly silence falls upon the room, Mr. had just entered. LoofKei'r, he Blairfed, I have War-ren--ed you again and again: a def tention for you, Christie. 'iCan't I get out on Bailufey, says. We all know what the answer was to that, and Christie had' to soothe his spirits with an Oh Henry chocolate bar. ACTA STl'DENTII'M Pa gt ON OUR DREAMS Poets muse on visions grander Than their blest words can convey: And the artist at his easel Dreams the afternoon away. 'Tis their one despair forever, Though sublime the critics deem. That their most admir'd endeavour Is less wondrous than their dream. Are they but imagination? Dreams we glimqse but can't convey: We would show them to the nation But we cannot find the way. No, these things are real, immortal. All our dreams divine with grace, And, when reach'd is Heaven's portal, We shall meet them face to face. One will come and say Behold me! I'm the dream you could not write! Yours I am to hold: enfold me: Shine I now for all men's sight: When you could not quite express me, How despondent was your grief, But your child I am, you bless'd me- 'Twas you gave me life-belief. To my artist friend a vision, Blinding beauty, will arise: While you paus'd in indecision, Though you saw with inner eyes The good God excIaim'd with pity, Hands are clumsy, lips are dumb. Took me to his Heavenly City, There to greet you when you come. So the man you would be ever, Haunts the man you merely are, Do your utmost in endeavour, Still you cannot reach your star. When we rise to realms immortal, When this earthly round is done, There he stands inside the portal. Says, Now you and I are one, 1? FF X This I wrote before I knew that Heaven's here and now on earth: Though I still believe it true that All our works at greatest worth Are less wondrous than the visions That we see within our soul. On we go through incarnations, Marching upward to that goal. When we reach the highest Heaven, 'Twill not be above the skies, Here on earth shall be that Heaven That's long shone from dreamers' eyes. Heaven isn't golden pavements, Pearly gates and crystal streams: It's the fullest realization Of the visions of our dreams. Dorothy Stilsou, ll'-B ii-Ol! ONE SELF-APPROVING HOUR The Beaver sometimes contemplates the dam And says: Nice job! I'm proud of that, I am ' The Oriole regards her swinging nest And flutes, Of all fine cradles, there's the best! The She-Bear cuffs her cubs with loving paw And growls: A sweeter pair I never saw! Erect upon the Ant heap cries the Ant. Sayl Who can make a mountain if I can't? So you, I trust, have similarly stood And looked upon your work, and found it good. 11033 Oh, teacher, teacher. spare me From the lions den: We march up in the morning In battle's given array. To conquer or to perish, Before the break of day. Alas our doom is sealed We might as well be dead The teacher glowers and growls at us We'll have to see the 'Head'. And, oh, it almost breaks my heart To think how hard I tried The tears welled up into my eyes And to my shame I cried: Yield me not up to him who is The sternest of all men. Cause not my father's back to bend As with his cane he wars Cause not my mothers eyes to dim As o'er my bones she pores. Alas! my plea ne'er reached her ears So. stifling hard my groans I from the battle-field did flee And found relief in poems. Page 90 THE PERFECT AUTOMOBILE Webb, IV-B 1. Pedestrian catcher. Z.
