Acknowledgements The Blue and White staff wishes to thank all those who contributed to the success of this magazine. To Mr. Ball we offer thanks for his aid in every department. He it was who loo ked after finances and gave us all val¬ uable advice. We thank Miss Dickey, Miss McLaren and Mr. Malania for their helpful criticism of the material sub¬ mitted, and to all teachers who unself¬ ishly gave up several periods to their students for the writing of articles. Thanks are offered to Kenneth Ewing and Jack 0. Young who, although not on the staff, helped the members a great w ia te deal in sorting out material and in proof reading, and also to the advisory com¬ mittee for its excellent advice. We arc grateful to Donald Spence and Murray Reed for giving so much time and effort to the typing of all the material, and to John Kerr and Henry Arnold for the candid shots. Lastly, we heartily thank Julius Kli- al nec, a graduate who wrote several art- tl icles, and all those undergraduates who p submitted a seemingly boundless am- p ount of material. It is a pleasure to know y that there is such interest in a school y magazine among the students of this w school. Again may I thank all! n Editor. Page Twelve

W E, the Editorial Staff, the compilers of this magazine, here present to you, the reader, the 1940 edition of the Walkerville Collegiate “BLUE AND WHITE”. Last year’s “Revival Edition” was so well received by you that we take pleas¬ ure in offering you this second edition, in the hope that it will bring you many hours of enjoyment, all through life. In later years, you will be able to look back upon your high school days, with the aid of this publication. What fond memor¬ ies will be awakened by the sight of some article you had written! In a moment, re¬ collections of incidents, both amusing and sad, will take possession of you, and make you live again those happy years spent in Walkerville Collegiate. We may venture to say that you will never lose this magazine, for in it you will have perhaps the only material legacy of the time you spent in high school. Nothing else can be such an excellent record of any period of your life. And if, sometime in the future, you are parted from your school chums in the mad rush along life’s highway, what a joy it will be to you to see at least some of the work they had done with you before you were separated from them. How you will cherish those thoughts of ihe many friendships you had made while in school! As long as you live you will remember those friendships, and this maga¬ zine is an excellent means of refreshing those memories which seem to grow faint¬ er as the years go by. With this end in view, the members of the editorial staff have given much time and effort to make this magazine prosper, and we sincerely hope we have succeed¬ ed. THE EDITOR. Page Eleven

AGORA The Agora’s executive for this year was elected by the student body immed¬ iately after the opening of school in Sep¬ tember. From the class representatives Ernest Musgrave, Thornton Strickland and Judith Davies were chosen presid¬ ent, vice-president and secretary, re¬ spectively. Since most of the executive were experienced its activities were pro¬ mised to be carried out in an efficient fashion. During the year the Agora brought about some innovations and changes in the school’s functions—among these a plan of presenting special pins to those pupils who obtained 75 % or more on the year’s work. Trophies to be held for one year were purchased for the athletes who are to be chosen by their team¬ mates as the best players in senior foot¬ ball, basketball, hockey and track. A ser¬ ies of tea-dances was staged in order to raise funds for graduation pins. It W ' as the Agora which was responsible for the selection of the staff of the Blue and White. The finances of the organization were never in a better state and our bank balance reached a new high. However, our activities could never have been carried on without the whole¬ hearted support of the faculty and the members themselves. An organization which controls the interests of a school must have the complete backing of the students and the co-operation of the staff in order to carry out its duties. It is our sincere hope that each and every pupil will do his duty by securing a membership card as soon as they are placed on sale. Remember that we are here to support your interests, so give your suggestions to your form repres¬ entatives; we will give them our con¬ sideration. Page Thirteen
