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

BLUE AND WHITE Betty Samson, Enid Greenhalf Albert Angus, Ken Ewing ORATORY This year there were three senior boy speakers and about the same number of girls. The juniors, however, seemed to be more interested in public speak¬ ing, for several of their number enter¬ ed. Betty Samson, following in the foot¬ steps of her sister, Blanche, won the senior girls’ competition with a talk on “What a Student Thinks of School”. Her impromptu was “The Modern Kitchen”. A close second was Joyce Parker, who gave us her impressions of “To-day’s Fashions”. In the senior boys’ contest Kenneth Ewing, a newcomer to this school, carr¬ ied off the honours with his talk on “Science in Crime Detection”. For an impromptu he chose “My Ambition and spoke of his desire to become a crimin¬ ologist. Jack Lawrence, speaking on “Canada and Britain”, was the runner- up. Albert Angus was adjudged winner of the junior boys ' contest for his story of “A Man I Admire—Sir Malcolm Cam¬ pbell”, and his impromptu on “Summer Pastimes”. George Moor ran second with his talk on the “Evolution of the Press”. The laurels in the junior girls’ com¬ petition went to Enid Greenhalf, speak¬ ing on “A Member of the Royal Family —Queen Elizabeth”, and “The Last Book I Read”. Audrey Duddy, the run¬ ner-up, spoke on “Marihuana”. We congratulate these winners and wish the contestants more success next year. It would indeed be a pleasure to see again, after a lapse of several years, (Continued on page 77) Page Fifteen
