Jjfossagc from iHr. fell In many respects this has been a trying year for Walk¬ er ville Collegiate. When school opened in September we felt the loss of Major O’Brien and Lieut. White who had enlisted. Then on September 27 our beloved principal, Mr. J. L. McNaughton, was forced to leave us on account of illness. However, we are glad to learn that he is improving and that he will soon be with us again. Since Christmas two more of our teachers, Lieut. S. Bull and Lieut. Ian Allison have enlisted and are training at Camp Borden. Our records also show that 101 of our students or graduates are now serving in the active forces—76 of these are in the R. C. A. F. We are proud of the fact that so many have enlisted and are doing “their bit”, and I am certain that those who remain here feel that they must “carry on” and uphold the high standard set by previous students and teachers of the Walk¬ er ville Collegiate Institute. We have always been proud of our school, and we are going to do our best to uphold its fine traditions and record. W. N. BALL. Page Seven

BLUE AND WHITE D URING these dark days of war, changes have been wrought in everything, and this school is no exception. It has meant the keenly felt loss of Mr. O’Brien, Mr. White, and most recenty Mr. Allison. Another blow ' to Walkerville C. I. has been dealt in the temporary loss of Mr. McNaughton. But so ably has Mr. Ball taken over, that few’ must realize how difficult Mr. Ball’s task has been. To the boys, the w r ar has meant an opportunity to serve their country in some branch of the armed forces. We are proud of them, and are sure that they will also give Canada cause to be proud of them. It is unfortunate, how ' ever, that many more boys leave school for this reason, without finishing their education, forgetting that, as future cvilians after the war, they will be called upon to create a world which is not ruled by greed, hate and jealousy. To the girls, the call to service also sounds. Although their tasks are less spectacular, they are equally important. They must work behind the scenes provid¬ ing for those in the front lines. Many students keep their knitting needles clicking and their needles flying to provide comforts for those in need. They must also fit themselves to occupy increasingly important places in the sphere of civilian life, filling up the gaps left by absent men. A worthy challenge has been put forth to the people of Canada! On how they respond depends the life of the next generation. Let every student prepare himself well during his school days to do his part, in order that the democratic, humanitarian way of life may emerge from this trial, stronger and more secure.
