L. McNaughton Page Eight BLUE AND WHITE 3n JMrmoriam Two years ago, in December, 1943, the students of Walkerville lost their beloved principal and friend, Mr. J. L. McNaughton. His death meant a great sorrow to all who knew his cheery smile, and his place in our hearts and lives can never be completely filled. We students who knew him cherish the mem¬ ory of the kind, upright man who was always eager to lend a listening ear to student prob¬ lems, and who made it his business to go more than half-way when dealing with puzzled or erring students. The girls, as well as the boys, felt that his keen active interest in student sports and especially his patient, devoted work with his own Cadet Corps, made him an ideal Principal who would be long remem¬ bered and revered. New students at Walker¬ ville now can learn only from others of his sincere and honest treatment of all our prob¬ lems, his close contact with every student, and his constant devotion to the highest principles, but from this they will know that the name of Mr. McNaughton is one that will be forever honoured by Walkerville students in our own hearts as well as remembered in the written annals of the school. DOROTHY WOODS. BLUE AND WHITE AcJznatuAedcfMeHtl The- staff of the Blue and White,wants to thank all of the contributors to our magazine. The willing help of so many students made our job much eas¬ ier. Miss MacIntyre and her committee have kindly and effectively criticized om literary ettorts, and, in tact, all the teachers volunteered their assistance. Mr. Krause, Mrs. Alexander and the Commercial students have been invaluable in their typing assistance. Whenever we had difficulties too great to solve ourselves we turned to Mr. Ball. W e are grateful to the friends of Walkerville Collegiate who made the magazine possible by their advertising, and we ask you. our readers, to thank them hv patronizing them.

BLUE AND WHITE OUR PRINCIPALS MESSAGE Fur the past six years our country has been at war. Fifteen of our teachers and twelve hundred and eighty-three of our former students have served in the Active Service Forces. We regret that 70 paid the supreme sacrifice. These have been very difficult times for our students because the future was so uncertain for them. Most of our teachers have returned and we are pleased to welcome many of our ex-students back. Most of them call at the school to thank us for the Christmas parcels and cigarettes we sent them. They are anxious to continue their education or return to their former positions. It is encouraging to note the enthusiasm they show in their return to civilian life. It is n ot only our duty to welcome these returned veterans, but we should also prepare ourselves to serve our country. The youth of to-day needs a good education, stability of character, a desire to work and co-operate, and a pride in his school, church, home and country. I am proud of the students of Walkerville Collegiate because I feel that they are doing their best to prepare themselves to serve Canada and to uphold the traditions of their school.

Page Twelve The senseless waste of war has ceased. We who are young are preparing to take our places in a new world where co-operation and tolerance must be the guiding principles. In the years to come we shall be the workers and the leaders of Canada. It will he our job to try to make our community, our country, and our world a safe and pleasant place in which to live. This is the first peacetime issue of the Blue and White, and it is fitting that we make it a memorial to our late principal. Mr. McNaughton. He was an example of the very qualities which we are convinced we must cultivate and practise. Those of us who have the privilege o writing our senior matriculation this June are looking hack over our five years at Walkervi’le. Four of those years were spent under the unusual circumstances of war. Many of the teachers enlisted: the staff seemed always to he changing. One of our new teachers said that after she had b en here a year she felt like a veteran. Our courses too were affected by the war. Defence Training was taken rather light- heartedly at least by the girls, who wondered whether knowing how to use a stirrup- pump would really add to their usefulness in an emergency. The biggest .week of the grade nine year was that of our salvage drive. Tons and tons of waste paper were hauled on little brother’s wagon. Old water heaters were dragged out of basements to adorn the corridors of Walkerville C. I. The inter¬ class rivalry was hitter and oh. the outrage of seeing an alien second-former carting away our next door neighbour’s salvage! In grade ten our mental wizards were Ksther Green and Sylvia Fedoruk. hut hard-working Norm. Marshall came first in the end. Never will we forget Barbara Bees’ speech on her summer’s experiences as a nurse’s aid. She was the W.S.S.A. champion that year. In the fall of our grade twelve year the students of Windsor took a lesson from their fathers and called a strike. W. C. I. seniors (Miss McLaren was proud of us) set the example by coming to school. Now our last year is nearly over: how we wish it were just beginning! But we know we leave the school’s reputation in capable hands; next year’s fifth form prom¬ ises to he as bright as we are! Page Thirteen iwnv ' mw ' ■ M E i : E Ml . sir i mm nt • ' 1 BLUE AND WHITE THF PBnFT PflRPS L L U II r Walkerville has a cadet corps of which it may he justly proud; at least, if we accept the words of Major J. Young. Dis¬ trict Cadet Officer, after he had com¬ pleted the 1945 inspection—“Your offi¬ cers are second to none, and the N.C.O s and cadets are a credit to your school. 1 have inspected a number of cadet corps in this district, but this is the finest corps I have seen ' Knowing and respecting Major Young as we do, we accept this compliment with the greatest pride. Walkerville C. I. has always taken the lead in cadet work, has always been the corps to set the pace for other schools, keeping alive the spirit even through the years of attempted abolition of cadet training. We attribute a great part of our success to the inspiring affect of the gen¬ erous gift of the Cameron Plaid by Walk¬ er Road Industries in the year 1922-25. There can be no greater stimulus to esprit de corps than a smart distinctive uniform. The tradition of our corps has spread its fame throughout Ontario and during the twenty-four years of our existence we have won the general pro¬ ficiency trophy twelve different times, our last, in 1944. being the third succes¬ sive victory in three years. Soon after the Second World W ar be¬ gan. we lost to the army two very able leaders, Lt. Col. D. C. O’Brien. M.B.E., E.D., and Major Ian Allison. Mr. Bunt, who has now attained the rank of Major in the Cadet Services of Canada, then took over the Corps to guide it with re¬ markable ability and sure judgment to the successful completion of our duties to our country throughout the war years. His was a mighty task, requiring the utmost time and effort. Those of us who have been here through all four years of Mr. Bunt’s leadership know and appre¬ ciate the magnificent job he did. W’e wish him continued success at Walkerville Collegiate. ✓ This year, we welcome back Col. O’Brien as chief cadet instructor, and Mr. Allison who is now instructing the band. An added impetus to competition with¬ in our Corps this year has been the gen¬ erous gift of two trophies, the Bryn Davies Memorial Trophy by Rev. M. C. Davies to be presented to the best cadet in the Corps every year, and the MacMil¬ lan Trophy by Magistrate A. W . MacMil¬ lan for the best company each year. The commanding officers who led their Corps to Victory through the war years, helping to turn out hundreds of well trained cadets for the armed forces, and other essential war tasks, will not be for¬ gotten. We have been fortunate in our line of commanding officers. Cadet Lt.- Col. David Bruce who commanded in 1941-42, later becoming a naval officer, enjoyed the perfect confidence and re¬ spect of all his team. Cadet Lt.-Col. Jack Stodgell, who also became a naval officer, was second to none. Berien Easton, our Lt.-Col. for 1943-44 had the honour of leading all the Windsor Royal Canadian Army Cadets as Brigadier in what has been termed the greatest Cadet demon¬ stration ever put on in Canada, the Gym¬ khana. Walkerville played an important part in this display under the leadership of our second in command, Dick Larkin. 1943-44 was perhaps the greatest year in our history, the culmination of all our efforts. C adet Lt.-Col. George Turnbull, our handsome, extremely popular young commander last year, was everything that could be desired in a commanding officer. Although we of the Cadet Corps had to share him with many other school organizations such as the Agora, of which he was President, and the Rugby team where he twice made all-city, we Page Fifteen OFFICERS OF THE CADET CORPS 1945 LACK ROW: K.

George, now at the University of Wes¬ tern Ontario, has been asked, as our last Commanding Officer to honour us with a few words for the Blue and White: It has been a long time since I last had an opportunity to speak to the School, and especially the Corps. I wish to congratulate the Agora for the success which it has had with this year’s activi¬ ties Also the best of luck to the revived Blue and White. Last year I had the honour of being Commanding Officer of the Corps. I can¬ not express how proud I am to have held that post. On inspection last year, the Corps in my opinion was perlect. I wish to thank all the cadets for their grand co-operation. Of course this includes the officers and N.C.O. ' s who really shaped the Corps into the unit of perfection it was. Although it did not win either the general proficiency cup or the l . ' 1 ' . Shield, it did put forth some champion¬ ship teams. I wish to congratulate the R.M.C. Rifle team which won the Domin¬ ion Championship and the Champion Moyer Cup Signalling team. “Now that the war is finished, advo¬ cates for the dissolution of Cadet train¬ ing are arising. Cadet training does not make a cadet military minded. It gives him self-assurance and the ability to as¬ sume responsibility. It teaches him team¬ work and helps to create good manners and good carriage. A Cadet Corps makes a boy proud of himself and his school. Best of luck to this year’s Corps. The Corps has one of the finest groups of Officers and X.C.O.’s, so that it should bring much honour to Walkerville Col¬ legiate.’’ (Signed) GEORGE TURNBULL We of the Cadet Corps especially feel the loss of our beloved Principal, the late Mr. J. L. McXaughton. He was strongly interested in Cadet work, doing every¬ thing he could for his Cadets. He was the guiding hand behind all our endeavour, and we salute him with deepest gratitude and sincere respect for a truly great man. Last year’s inspection, held at Stogell Park, will long be remembered in our school. Our bugle band under the leader¬ ship of Cadet Lieut. Ted Bartlet. and supervised during training by Mr. A. C. Brown contributed much to its success in their smart colourful appearance, preci¬ sion drill, and inspiring music. A new addition to our Corps was a pipe band instructed by Mr. ‘‘Jock’’ Copland who is well known as a producer of incompar¬ able bands. Bill Peterson commands the Bugle Band this year, while Ted Bartlet, in charge of the pipe band, commands the band as a whole. The signal corps always claims the credit for winning inspections. Be that as it may. however, we all know we would be in a bad position without it. In last year’s inspection, the Moyer Cup team displayed Morse Signalling with flags. An outstanding feature of the sig¬ nal platoon’s show was the demonstrat¬ ing of the operation of the switchboard to which the D.M .K. 5 army Field tele¬ phones are attached. At the beginning of the war, the Cana¬ dian Army was rather poorly equipped. However, it soon added much to its equipment and fighting ability. Our sig¬ nal corp. if we may be allow ed to draw the comparison, followed right along be¬ hind. matching achievement with achieve¬ ment. During the year 1941-42, the pla¬ toon was under the able command of Howard Moore. When Howard gradu¬ ated, and entered the army. Bernard Rondot took over, and with the help of new equipment supplied by the Essex Scottish, whipped the platoon into the best signalling group in the district. Al¬ though our corps did not win the Moyer Cup that year, we attribute this in all frankness to the fact that our corps won too many other awards and. therefore, could not take this one too. When Cadet Major Rondot left for the army, it was Bob Girling’s turn. Our equipment then included lamps, field telephones, “buz¬ zers’’ and flags, with the Essex Scottish Page Seventeen BLUE AND WHITE lending us their switchboard and tele¬ phones each year to enable us to put on a snappy display at our annual inspec¬ tion. In 1945 we won the Moyer Cup. most coveted honour among signalling enthus¬ iasts. Our signals group is still one of the best in Canada and has a great future. Major Young hinted, on a visit to the school last year, that there was talk of setting up Cadet radio stations across the entire breadth of the nation. If and when this project gets under way, it will cer¬ tainly be something to which future sig¬ nalling cadets can look forward. The ambulance corps under the com¬ mand of Cadet Major Frank Hull, Cadet Lieut. Don Gibson, and Cadet Lieut. Bob Mapes put on a very commendable show last vear. This section of the auxiliary Corps, directed by Mr. W. Young, has progressed more rapidly than any other unit. The Ambulance Corps of 1940 was composed of about thirty boys with very little equipment, but since then Mr. Young has personally trained over three hundred cadets. At last year’s inspection, the Ambulance Corps consisted of two large platoons which for the first time used roller bandages and Thomas splints and made the only demonstration in On¬ tario of the propeller splints for a broken neck. Last year’s class consisted of sixty- eight juniors, thirteen seniors, and eight vouchers. Don Gibson, Art Haynes and Frank Hull received their Medallions. Murray Whelpton received the first Label ever presented to our Corps. This year’s class has proven very popular with over eighty cadets passing their examinations. An indication of the thoroughness of our corps’ training was given at the 1945 inspection when eighteen of our cadets were presented with master cadet stars. A master cadet wears five chevrons with his star indicating the number of sub¬ jects he has studied and in which he has become proficient during his training. The first gold chevron is given to any cadet who completes the senior basic syllabus, a course of five subjects. For his other four chevrons and gold star, he Page Eighteen must complete six more optional sub¬ jects, each additional chevron being awarded as options are completed. Those who received the title of master cadet are: H. Longtnuir, R. Mapes, D. Gibson, E. Crispin, G. Dewar, B. Davies, T. Waffle, B. Spring, H. Thompson, R. Girling, J. Wigle, M. Whelpton, T. Bartlet, F. Hull, F. Marchand, V. Ord, X. Marshall and Y. Young. Cadet Lt. Col. George Turnbull, and Cadet Major Bill Young, second in com¬ mand, received the traditional old Eng¬ lish W’s. Our cadet instructors present at last year’s inspection were Major Bunt. Cap¬ tain William Young, Captain Green, Lt. Allen Brown and Lt. Martin Young. Last year’s physical training inspection was led by cadet officers for the first time in our history. Cadet Captain John Wigle, Cadet Major Bill Ord, Cadet Ma¬ jor Norm Marshall, and Cadet Captain Murray Whelpton each took one of four tables of exercises. John Wigle was awarded a “W” by Major Young for be¬ ing the best P.T. instructor on parade. Although we did not win the shield, the proficiency of our cadets left little to be desired. We were rather unfortunate, however, in having to hold our inspection in the gymnasium rather than on the campus, because of rainy weather. The year 1944-45 was a very successful riflery year. Our teams, under the coach¬ ing of Mr. Martin Young, came near the heights of perfection according to cadet standards. Showing genuinely expert marksmanship, our team won the Royal Military College Dominion championship with an average of 98.1%. and came an unbelievably close second in the Domin¬ ion of Canada Rifle Association (second in the Dominion of Canada) and Provin¬ cial Challenge competitions. Our average scores in these two competitions were D.C.R.A.—“A” team, 97.33%, “B” team, 93.47%, and Provincial Challenge 97.53%.

The Strathcona Trust Medal for the highest average in all competitions of the year went to Bill Ord whose aver¬ age for seven targets was 98%. D.C.R.A. first class silver medals for 97% or over in D.C.R.A. were won by Jack Upton, Gordon Dewar. Robert Graham, William Ord. and Stuart Johnson. Already this year, our riflemen have met with success, winning the Ontario Rifle Association Challenge Trophy for Secondary School Cadet Corps with an average of 97.6%. Rodney Montrose has again displayed his skill by walking off Cadet Lt.-CoL Marshall and Gen. Crerar with a silver medal for a perfect score 0‘ 1C0%. Rodney, so far this year, has fired four consecutive perfect competition tar¬ gets—something of a record, we believe. Other members oT the winning 1946 O.R.A. team were awarded bronze stars.

F. Hutton $2.00. and W. Orel $ 1 . 00 . Our rifle coach this year is Mr. Bunt. Everything points to another successful year. Our city was honoured this Fall with a visit by General H. D. G. Crerar who spoke to the cadets of this city in the auditorium of one of our larger schools where Walkerville Collegiate was repre¬ sented by our officers and N.C.O. s under the command of our new O.C.. Norm Marshall. He had the coveted privilege of meeting the general on behalf of our Cadet Corps. We were proud of Norm, who was, by far, the smartest Cadet Offi¬ cer to meet the Commander of the Cana¬ dian Army. Norm holds the respect and loyalty of every cadet at Walkerville Collegiate and we will support him to the limit. Under his leadership, we shall go forth on in¬ spection day, confident in our ability to carry on the traditions of our Corps, striving to maintain our record of pro¬ ficiency. This year holds forth great promise in cadet work, and we aim to put on the best show yet in all fields of our endeavour, keeping in mind always the main purpose of cadet training given in the words of the Royal Canadian Army Cadet Motto “ACER ACKRBORl —as the maple, so the sapling. Page Twenty-Two BLUE AND WHITE CADET CAMP The 1945 Cadet Camp, held at Cedar Springs, Ontario, stands out vividly in the memories of the forty odd officers and ca¬ dets who represented the Walk- erville C. I. Cadet Corps as number 18 Platoon. K. Coy,, the company commanded by our own Mr. Hunt with Mr. William Voting in charge of stores. Although they often refer to it as “The Hattie of Cedar Springs , claiming full battle honours (one glance at some of the illustrations shows why) our cadets certainly do not regret attending the camp, and, indeed, would return if given the opportunity. They had rain, and oceans of mud, were burned by the scorching sun by day, and frozen by the cold at night, in spite of many blankets; but it was all part of the game and they never had more fun in their lives. Walkerville ' s company twice won the N I pennant for the cleanest and best lines in the camp, and their spirit was always high as they took part in all of the camp activities, both work and play. W hen its turn came, our com i pany. always the smartest on parade, turned out. under the command of Norm Marshall, one of the best guards and fire pickets to perform the colourful retreat ceremony. After the duties of the day were com¬ pleted. and during rest periods, our cadets made full use of the ample sports facili¬ ties. playing baseball, football, horse¬ shoes. volley-ball, swimming, boxing, and participating in the track and field meet. A special feature of the camp, was the huge rifle range where our cadets fired “22 rifles, 30 calibre army rifles. Bren Light Machine Guns, and Piat Anti Tank Weapons to win a total of fifteen dollars in prizes for their expert marksmanship.

AGORA The Agora, which is the Student Coun¬ cil of Walkerviile Collegiate, has been very successful in all of its many under¬ takings this year. Much of the success is due to the wonderful officers leading this year’s organization and to the advice that both teachers and students have given. This year the Agora has sponsored two very successful (lances “The Gamblers’ Gambol” and the W O.S.S.A. Wiggle”, and is now making plans for a bigger and better “Military Hall.” Much credit for the success of these ventures should go to the Social and Publicity Committees for the fine work they have done and are doing to make all Walkerville’s activities a success. Another very successful effort of the Agora was the sale of Christmas cards under the direction of Mr. Waddell, Mr. Hartford, Hill Ord and the financial com¬ mittee. A great deal of time was spent by all concerned in making this venture a profitable one. Through the Agora the students of Walkerville have helped the Cadet Corps in its aim to build a Cadet library ; they have kept up the McNaughton Scholar¬ ship Fund and have represented the stu¬ dent body in numerous other ways. This year’s officers are: Mr. Ball, Hon¬ orary President; Norm Marshall, Presi¬ dent; Angus MacMillan, Vice- President; Helen Happy. Secretary; Mr. Hartford, Treasurer: Bill Ord.

THE GIRLS ' CHOIR Although the girls in our choir have not had many opportunities to display their talents to the public, we have nevertheless been practising eagerly at our Tuesday afternoon sessions up in Room 301. We were certainly glad to welcome hack Miss Saunders, who re¬ turned to us after two years with the Wrens, and who we are confident will continue her splendid record of choir work at Walkerville Collegiate. Our first appearance this year was at the Christmas Commencement exercises, when we sang “Lullaby of the Dwarfs,” and “Lift Thine Eyes,” the well-known selection from Mendelssohn’s “Elijah”. A performance of several new numbers scheduled for the Open House program on February 8 failed to materialize, be¬ cause of unforeseen difficulties, but re¬ hearsals went forward with the usual enthusiasm in spite of our disappoint¬ ment. We began the year with an impressive attendance of over eighty singers, but of these only about forty have appeared regularly at rehearsals. Credit is certainly due these girls who gave up other activi¬ ties to attend faithfully, and our deep appreciation also goes to Margaret Werte, our able and understanding pian¬ ist. Miss Saunders, Margaret, and the choir all work together so harmoniously that gratifying results are quite justified.

Parsons ORCHESTRA For the past two years the orchestra, which had been dormant for some time, has been under the direction of Mr, Brown, and has been playing strictly as a dance band. The band holds regular practices and a large library of dance orchestrations has been accumulated The practices have proved very worth while, for the band has done some exceptionally fine work ' at the Tea Dances and at the Graduation Dance, A number of students with outstanding musical ability who have given their help to the orchestra have added greatly to the success of this organization. The band now features ensemble effects and also vocal and instrumental solos. A second group of instrumentalists is now practising the same music and it is hoped that in another year the orchestra can he expanded along the lines of a sym¬ phonic aggregation, as has been the prac¬ tice in past years, A vote of thanks should be given Mr. Brown and the various student members of the band for so willingly giving their time and talents to after school practices in order to reach the high standard of efficiency now enjoyed by the band. The mastery of the music has not only given great pleasure to the members i f the band but has been a source of entertain¬ ment to everyone connected with the school IAN WILKIE Pa e Twenty-Six BLUE AND WHITE DRAMATIC SOCIETY BACK ROW: Mr. Burr, D.

The play was directed by Mrs. Alexander and Mr. Burr, and the cast included Herbert Schofield, Stuart lohnson, Donna Haley, Pat Barnbv and Gordon Croft. During the past two years the Dra¬ matic Society has produced two of its most successful plays. “She Stoops To Conquer”, a costume play which was rated highly by all who saw it. Mary Gregory. Jack Creed, Tom Beckett and Bill Grundy, won the awards for their performances. Our play of last year “The Whole Town’s Talking”, delighted our audiences with its rollicking humour. The annual awards were presented to Mary Gregory ' , Anne Thistlethwaite and Tom Beckett. Both these plays were directed by the “Guiding Light” of the club, our own Miss Robbins, Because of the lack of directors we did not present our annual three-act play this year, but we have hopes for such a play next year. Secretary, JEAN LITTLE Pa e Twenty-Seven Windsor x 1 BLUE AND WHITE ORATORS Janet Utigill. James Zeron, Barbara Tail Absent Donald Ryan PUBLIC SPEAKING Our oratorical efforts have been ex¬ tremely noteworthy, although none of the W.S.S.A. championships came to Walk- erville this year. Many of the participants were new to the game, and their speeches deserved a great deal of credit: several had entered the contest before ami show¬ ed marked improvement in material and delivery over their previous efforts. From the four Senior boy contestants, fim Zeron carried off the honours with his excellent speech on Local History , and an equally noteworthy impromptu on The Life of Tomorrow Second place was awarded to Howard Thompson who gave as his main address, “The Ca¬ det Camp, and also spoke in an interest¬ ing manner on The Best Book I Have Read.” The remarkable number of Senior girls speaking this year was certainly inspir¬ ing, and the quality of their speeches made that contest an interesting event. Janet Hugilh the winner, showed splen¬ did oratorical ability both in her main speech on Winston Churchill and her laugh-provoking impromptu on My Fav¬ ourite Subject—Mathematics, Runners- up were Donna Haley, with Canadian Parliament ’ and Progress in the Virl Guide Movement , and 1 oroihy Woods with Careers for Young People and The Life of Tomorrow , the latter two tying for second place The Junior orators were surprisingly good this year, with Don Ryan taking rirst place laurels for his address on Atomic Power and Dogs , Jamies Muir was a close competitor, speaking on Puppets and “Places I Would Like To Visit, The Junior girls also showed great promise of future ability. The winner, Barbara Tail, gave an excellent speech oil Customs of India and a successful impromptu, Airlines, Second p ! ace went to Margaret Martin who spoke on Alaska and gave ns her impromptu, Why I Like Music. All these speakers, both winners and competitors, have gained valuable ex¬ perience in this year ' s contest, and we are certain that future oratory will keep up WalkerviHe ' s fine record, or even sur¬ pass it. DOROTHY WOODS ASSEMBLIES Assemblies this year have showed a marked improvement over those of last year. This year the students have been much more interested in assemblies than they have in the past. Credit for the improvement must go to Mr, Ball who has worked hard picking out talent and to the Agora Assembly Com mi t tee. Assemblies thi year have provided a great deal of enjoyment to students and teachers alike. It is to be hoped that the fine work done on them now will be con¬ tinued in the years to come. With performers such as Marilyn Mil¬ ler. Margo MacKinnon, Bob Fenton, and Her!) Scofield, assemblies are sure to be a success. Other star performers were found among the teachers with Miss Saunders, Miss MacIntyre, Mr. O ' Brien and Mr. Allison taking a place on the stage several times throughout the year. If this co-operation between students and teachers continues, our assemblies will a 1 wavs be enjovable, I AX WILKIE Page Twenty-high! BLUE AND WHITE F. Hull. E. Lepa. L Laakso, Mr. Ball, W. Young.

A. ALLISON ()n April 25. 1941, Ian Allison enlisted in the Canadian Army. He spent about a month at the O.T.C., Hrockville, whence he emerged a one-pip wonder, and after a ft v days’ “visit” at Camp Borden he left for England. By the end of June he had joined the Calgary Regiment of the First Canadian Army Tank Brigade and after training and manoeuvres in England he received his second pip (February 1942). In August, 1942. Lieutenant Allison was fighting with the Calgary Tanks and the Essex Scottish at Dieppe, and the Cal¬ gary losses and casualties were terrific. From Dieppe Lieutenant Allison re¬ turned to England to train new Canadian reinforcements, and at this time received his captaincy. Before he joined his unit in Italy he had received his crown, and with them fought through Cassino. the Liri Valley, the Hitler and Gustav lines and North of Florence where he was wounded. He was again with his regi¬ ment when they landed in Marseilles. They fought up through Belgium, had a three-week rest, then pushed through Germany and back—this time into Hol¬ land. After the last two battles, Arnhem and Ede, a truce was called, lasting two weeks, for the purpose of transporting food to the starving Dutch by the Cal¬ gary Tanks. On July 29, 1945 Major Allison left for England and on October 15. 1945 he be¬ came “Mister” Allison once more. MR. F. BECKLEY Mr. Beckley. a member of the Essex Tank Regiment, was once a cadet at . C. I. In 1942, he joined the army tak¬ ing his training at O.T.S. in Brockvillc, then at A 27 Training Centre at Dundurn, Sask. In 1943, he went overseas, serving in the front lines in France. Belgium, Holland, and Germany. Captain Beck’ey had many harrowing experiences. W hile across the German lines, his armoured car blew up. He was in the same house with a 500 lb. bomb during the German bombing of Falais. At one time, he was trapped for 36 hours about 25 miles be¬ hind the Gentian lines. MR. A. FLETCHER In 1941, Mr. Fletcher joined the Royal Canadian Air Force. He was trained at Rivers, Man., and then served as an in¬ structor until 1945. Ft. Lieut. Fletcher, as a navigator, had the misfortune to make a mistake in his calculations and found himself flying over the then neu¬ tral United States. When asked to relate some of his thrilling experiences over¬ seas. Mr. Fletcher said that the only thing that he did in England was to fly around in the fog. MR. C. M. FORMAN Mr. Forman joined the air-force in March 1942 and left for Manning Pool where he received his basic training for the air-crew. After leaving Manning Pool, he entered about eight other schools in Canada and finally arrived at Regina A.O.S. where he completed his training. As flying officer (navigator), he spent two years overseas and partici¬ pated in bombing missions on the conti¬ nent in the famous Lancaster bombers. While he was on one of his missions, his plane was shot down near Paris and only he and two others out of seven escaped alive. The skipper was captured by the Germans. Mr. Forman and the rear gun¬ ner. both behind enemy lines, managed to outwit the Germans and obtain help from a French family who were part of a well-organized underground. About three weeks later they were rescued by the Third American Army who had broken through the enemy lines. In Octo¬ ber 1944, Mr. Forman came back to Can¬ ada and his discharge was complete in February 1945.

He commanded the Active Service Company at St. Luke’s Barracks from May 1940 to October 1940 whereupon he was called to headquarters M.D. No. 1 as G.S.O. III. In February 1941, he joined the Ontario Tank Regiment and in June of the same year proceeded overseas as squadron commander. He then remained with ti c First Armoured Brigade until he was appointed chief instructor at 2C. A.C.R.U. in February 1943. Later he commanded a wing at 2 C. A.C.R.U. with the rank of lieutenant colonel. After Y-E day Lieu¬ tenant Colonel O’Brien commanded a repatriation depot until his return to Canada in August 1945. Discharged in October 1945, Mr. O’Brien came back to Walkerville to teach again. He was awarded the M.B.E. and E.D. Welcome back, Mr. O’Brien. Your job was very well done, indeed ! MR. H. NIGHSWANDER In 1942, Mr. Nighswander signed his name for his country and the following- year was called to serve it. For a year and a quarter he remained here in Wind¬ sor on the H.M.C.S, Hunter and became a petty officer. He says that during his navy career his most interesting experi¬ ence was “being guard of honour for the Governor-General im Ottawa.” His dis¬ charge was complete in October 1944. whereupon he resumed teaching at Walk¬ erville Collegiate Institute. MISS O. E. SAUNDERS On March 25, 1943. Olive Saunders entered the Wrens and soon worked her¬ self up to a lieutenancy. She was sta¬ tioned at Halifax for 20 months and in Newfoundland for eight months. Among many of her thrilling experiences in the Wrens, Lieutenant Saunders ranks her nine-hour operational flight in an air¬ force bomber over a convoy as the most exciting. She also had the opportunity of : pending two days on a frigate observing submarine detection devices under con¬ ditions at sea. W hile in Newfoundland. Miss Saunders had the opportunity of meeting and chatting with Frank Sinatra. She has a picture of herself shaking- hands with Frankie. Lieutenant Saun¬ ders received her discharge papers on August 1, 1945 and returned to W alker¬ ville Collegiate Institute. MISS G. I. TUNKS Miss Tunks enlisted in the Wrens in December 1942. and by New Year’s Day 1943, found herself one of a group of Wrens travelling over the Rockies to Vancouver. Here, Vancouver played host to its first group of W rens. Ottawa was Miss ' Punks’ home station, and from here she visited various places — Sydney for ten days, for example. While in Sydney she was fortunate to be one of two Wren officers a lowed to go to sea. On board, they worked the powerful Oerlikon guns and witnessed a good deal of minesweep¬ ing. They had the thrilling experience of hoarding Merchant Ships, and on one Tanker, talked with an engineer who was a survivor of three torpedoed tankers. W hile at sea. thev had the self-satisfviner experience of seeing the Captain take seasick pills while the two Wrens found ro need for them. Miss ' Punks feels that her years in the W rens were almost the most educational of her life, and while we know navy life is wonderful, we are glad to welcome her back to Walkerville.

Perhaps she has even been inquiring about train¬ ing courses to fit her for this great career: undoubtedly she will be anxious to find out a few of the details of her future life. Let us say she has completed her train¬ ing and is accepted in a famous research lab.—assistant to Dr. Smith ' s chief tech¬ nician! Down to the lab. she comes, eight o’clock sharp, all crisp and white in her new uniform. Anxiously sitting oil the edge of her chair she watches the various staff members drift in, exchange casual remarks, and briskly begin their work of the day. Minutes trudge past, and finally the newcomer approaches a dignified gentleman who is vigorously swirling a flask of muddy yellow liquid, and ventures. “Please, sir. where will I find Dr. Smith’s head technician? I ' m his new assistant.” “Well. I’m sure I don’t know why Jones needs an assistant—he can’t keep busy himself. But you can help me if you like, while you wait. Jones never arrives before nine. I’m Smith.” Susie views with awe this far ■ us scientist, and nervously stands ready to do his bidding. To her surprise, her first task is to wash a dozen racks full of mini¬ ature test tubes containing sticky white jelly, and it takes her nearly two hours, since each tube must lie shaken upside down, prodded with a glass rod, and im¬ mersed in a huge pot of hot green soap. Poor Susie! her hands are now sacrificed to Science! Meanwhile, the tardy Jones arrives, and promises her a job in the animal room as soon as she has van¬ quished the sticky test tubes. This she finally does, half expecting some com¬ ment on their glistening cleanness, but the doctor merely indicates Jones wait¬ ing next door. A pecu ' iar odour greets Susie as she opens the door. Rows and rows of metal drawer-like cages till this room, and the clamour of sharp little squeaks informs her of the presence of thousands of tiny white mice. To her dismay, Mr. Jones calmly pulls out a cage, takes a handful of mice and nods to her to do the same. Just drop them in this glass jar. weigh each one and keep the ones from eighteen to twenty grams. When you’ve put the rest back, bring the good ones to me in the lab.” “But . . . how do I . . . pick them up?” “Haven’t you ever worked with mice? Simply take hold of the tail, like a handle. They don’t often bite!” Susie cautiously approaches one meek little mouse in the corner of the cage, picks him up gingerly, but finding that he squirms, frantically drops him, not in the jar. but on the floor! She scrambles madly after hint diving under tables and i ' nches but he disappears along a drain- Page Thirty-Two BLUE AND WHITE pipe. Visibly shaken, Susie turns to the next problem—how to make mice stand still while she weighs them, since they prefer strolling around on the scales and inevitably tumble over the edge. At last she comes back with her jar of mice, little dreaming she is the victim of a ritual endured by every novice in the lab. And so goes the first week of her new life. Weighing mice, washing glassware, holding guinea-pigs for injections, filling racks of test tubes with graduated vol¬ umes of standard solutions—Susie tries her increasingly capable hand at count¬ less new jobs. One unforgettable day she is taught to run the forbidding boiler-like autoclave, or steam sterilizer, and to her horror is left alone with the thing, told to open this valve if the pressure rises too high, close this one if the tempera¬ ture drops, and don’t blow us all up!” By the time that half-hour has crawled past, poor Susie is frantically chewing her nails and muttering. What happens if I forget to turn something?” But she can new sterilize her own equipment, which is a blessing both to her and to the over¬ worked wash-up women.” Finally Susie is given a whole set of tests to run every day. She carefully sets out her shining glass plates each morn¬ ing. prepares new batches of reagents, and follows a definite routine each day so that her test results will be uniform and reliable. Absolute precision becomes automatic: the slightest deviation from the usual pattern, even the tiniest error in measurement makes the whole test meaningless. Of course Susie soon is very efficient and leaves far behind her the stage of forgetting to keep cotton plugs in sterile flasks. Her experiments arc suggested and decided upon bv others, but little Susie has the great satisfaction of knowing that she is the one who transforms their theories into practical fact. She is the research worker’s right hand—the girl behind the experiment. Second Prize MUSIC MILLIONS LOVE When our scholarly brows are furrow¬ ed with the cares of unsolved Math, prob¬ lems, unfinished French exercises, and neglected supplementary reading, we like to kick off our loafers, drop into a com¬ fortable armchair, and just sit back in utter relaxation. Our hand automatically reaches for the dial of the nearby radio, because we want to hear something soothing and interesting. We hurriedly dial past the phoney comedians, the nerve-racking detective mysteries, and the boring news commentators, until a sudden surge of sweet music meets our ears. Ah—at last, the perfect sound for fatigued minds and tense nerves! Let’s listen ! Now a mellow-voiced announcer is in¬ viting us to spend a half-hour with Andre Kostelanetz and his Music Millions Love. This great maestro should keep us well entertained.” we muse, settling ourselves comfortably in the chair, and banishing all worry from our minds. The pro¬ gramme starts off with a dreamy Strauss waltz, which immediately begins the task of lightening our hearts. Before we know it. we are tapping out the lilting rhythm with our foot, and humming along with the orchestra. Our genial announcer next gives us a pleasant introduction to the guest artist of the evening, whether it be Marian Anderson, (tinny Simms, Lily Pons or John Charles Thomas. This introduction stimulates our interest so that we find ourselves eagerly waiting for the num¬ ber to begin. The song is always perfectly suited to the singer’s voice. Marian Anderson, with her vibrant contralto, may sing us a stirring Gypsy Song from Carmen, or Lily I’ons, with her lofty soprano, may t. ' ke our spirits on a soaring trip as she irills through a French aria. If (tinny Fimms is supplying the talent we can count on a lively evening indeed. Her c ' rr. sweet voice is especially adapted Page Thirty-Three DOROTHY WOODS. 13H BLUE AND WHITE to the popular and semi-classical selec¬ tions. For these, too, the Kostelanetz orchestra provides excellent accompani¬ ment. Her rendition of “Slowly” or a Gershwin melody has a charm (juite dif¬ ferent from that of the operatic singers, and is just as capable of transporting us to a world of musical dreams. Now per¬ haps it is the virile tenor of John Charles Thomas beckoning us with a rousing Vagabond Song or wailing a plaintive Negro spiritual. Besides the vocal numbers, there are a few performances by the orchestra itself. In these Andre Kostelanetz and his artists exhibit to the full, the outstanding characteristics of their music—a rich, sweeping Tow of tone and an abundance of creative imagination. There is always one special number on the programme devoted to pure imagination. This may be either a popular hit tune or a classical excerpt, but in either case, the musicians create a magical atmosphere cleverly suited to the title or theme of the song. For instance. “Strange Music” or “I,aura” may be presented with an appealing new touch of the bizarre, while Tchaikowsky’s “Dance of the Flutes” may be treated with added vigour and vivacity. Even the most skeptical of us see the mental pictures suggested by the music. Now the guest artist comes back for one more performance, adding the finale to a very enjoyable half-hour. But it does not seem nearly that long. Surely we have been listening for only ten minutes! Though we hope the music will continue for ever, Alexander Scott is bidding us a pleasant “Good evening.” with a few well-chosen words in favour of Chrysler dealers. Andre Kostelanetz is now off the air. The heavenlv music has ceased, and the singer ' s tones are heard no more. The spirit, however, is still with us, making us feel gay and energetic. The furrowed brows have given way to dimpled smiles and the depressing worries have been replaced by peaceful thoughts. Refreshed and invigorated by the half-hour of sparkling entertainment, we go to work and solve the Math, problems, finish the French exercises, and complete the sup¬ plementary reading. Thus we have proven to us the age-old truth that music hath charms. As one great music lover once said, “The real test of all great art is its power to give pleasure to the largest number of persons capable of appreciating it. for the great¬ est length of time.” Vive le Kostelanetz. MARGARET WEST, 13B Third Prize LIFE’S VICTIM Robert Jones was born on Friday, Sep¬ tember 13 on a spiritless, wintry night. Whether this was an omen of ill luck, or a trick of fate, I do not know. As the story continues, you may determine for yourself. When he was five years old, his mother died of pneumonia, leaving Robert and his drunkard father to the mercies of the world. His father was a good man, but like a narcotic dope fiend, he could not resist the temptation of liquor. He tried to take care of Robert, but his craving for liquor proved to be master over him. Drifting from one job to another, and always being fired because of his passion, he soon became disgusted. So one night, penniless, friendless and unhappy, he took his own life by hanging himself. Thus, at the age of eight, Robert, left without mother or father, was sent to an orphanage. Here, there was no limit to the cruel sufferings that he underwent. The master, as the owner of the orphan¬ age was called, forced Robert, along with the other children, to do the work of a man each day, but he fed them hardly enough to keep them standing up. At the age of fifteen, Robert had gone through more, and knew more about the hard¬ ships of life than most of us do at thirty. One day, when he could no longer stand the torments of his master, he decided Page Thirty-Four BLUE AND WHITE BLUE AND WHITE to run away. His preparations made, hr waited until it was dark. Then, while everyone was sleeping, he Left the dormi¬ tory, and approached the gale. He stopped, horror-stricken and bewildered. He could not believe his own eyes. There, standing in front of him, was the one person lie dreaded—the master. What was he to do? Was he to give tip all hope of freedpfn ? Robert lived through a million years in that one des¬ perate moment, Xu, he would never go back to that dreaded place. Somehow he must escape. While Robert s mind had been racing, the master had been standing in front of him, his expression a combination of anger and smug satisfaction. “Til teach you to try to run away from me 1 he cried producing a whip which Robert knew only too well. He lashed it furiously down upon Robert ' s shoulders. Stunned, Robert fell back, and the master raised the whip again. In that brief moment Robert ' s hand fell upon a cold object lying on the ground. It was a lead pipe. He grasped it and leaped up at the master with the fury of a tiger. He might have hit the master once, or he might have rained a dozen blows upon him. He did not know. His mind was blank ex¬ cept for that one thought, to escape. Hut, after touching the Cold body of the master, he knew one thing for cer¬ tain, that he, Robert Jones, at fifteen years of age was a murderer. You may find it hard to believe that a bov fifteen years of age could be a mur¬ derer. but I think that you could not find it as hard to believe as Robert did. Rob¬ ert was scared, there was no denying it. He thought to himself, what can a mur¬ derer do in this case? Run away? No, he would first get rid of any evidence. He buried the lethal weapon then dragged the now cold, limp body of the master to a clump of bushes and hid it. Satisfied that no one could find the body, he turned around to take one last look at the only home he had ever known. Then he set out down the winding road to seek his fortune. He hopped a freight train for the wild, windy city of Chicago, As soon as he arrived he started on the wrong foot. Joining a gang of killers he helped them operate a series of robberies, kidnap¬ pings, and murders, and soon became a full-fledged gangster. He was getting more money than he had ever dreamed of, and at the age of twenty, he thought that he had experienced everything that life could offer a person. Robert was very much mistaken, for he had yet to ex¬ perience the most wonderful thing in life—love Laura Carson was her name. She w as a stenographer in the Acme Furniture Co, Robert met her at a party, which she was attending with her fiance, Fred Acme, Although he did not mention her to any¬ one, all he thought of from that day on was Laura Carson. His colleagues in crime noticed a change in him, and began to distrust him, Robert had taken Laura out a few times, but had never told her how he felt about her. One day, on the spur of the moment, he proposed. When she told him she was engaged to be married, he was stunned, lie left immediately. Entering his car he drove around for a while in a daze. He could not believe that the per¬ son he loved, loved someone else. He felt hurt and cheated. He had never known any happiness before, and now that it was so close to him it did not seem fair for him to give it up without a fight. Lie decided that if he could not have happi¬ ness, Fred Acme should not have it either. With this thought in mind he drove to his gang ' s hideout. He found them planning to kidnap Fred Acme Fate, he thought, was on his side. For every per¬ son the gang had kidnapped had been killed sooner or later. The kidnapping, strangely, took place on Friday, September LI Acme left his office with Laura Garson. When they reached the sidewalk, two of the mob¬ sters approached and ordered them to enter a car waiting across the street. Thev were then driven to the hideout and Page Thirty-Six BLUE AND WHITE placed in a large, dimly lighted room. Robert did not know that Laura had been brought along with Acme, so you can imagine his surprise when he walked in, Laura pleaded with Robert for their release, but Robert was not going to he cheated of revenge on the one person who was in the way of his happiness. At last, in desperation, Laura begged him to let Acme go, and kill her. When Robert heard this a change immediately took place in him. Laura was risking her life for the man she loved. He would show his love for her by risking his. Untying them quickly he told them to leave. As soon as the back door closed the gang walked in, Robert tried to hold them off till Laura and Acme got away. Fie suc¬ ceeded. but was killed in the attempt. And thus ends the story of a man who lived in tragedy and died in tragedy, a man who was a victim of life.

I2H MIDNIGHT LAKE If one were to view Midnight Lake in the sunlight of broad daytime, one would be completely mystified as to the origin ol its name: for the sun penetrates its translucent depths in broad bands of gold to play gaily on the white rock bottom. Sandy white shores reflect the light with blinding brilliance, and the surrounding vegetation strewn with beautiful flowers, bears no resemblance to the blackness or midnight. In fact, one can search for hours amid beautiful surroundings and find no suggestion of nocturnal qualities. It is only in the midnight stillness that one begins to realize the peculiar aptness of the name, for midnight is an hour of darkness and mystery. When T first entered the vicinity of the lake, all was darkness—nothing could be seen. Then out of the night shrilled the eerie, terrifying cry of the loon, and a white haze, followed by the rim of a great silver ball, appeared in the east. As the moon sailed slowly over the tad spear-like tops of darkly silhouetted pines, a silver path reached out of the blackness and extended across the pol¬ ished ebony surface of the lake. Little waves rippled in regular patterns over the otherwise dead-calm surface, causing it to glimmer in the light of the silver Pajre Thirty-Eight BLUE AND WHITE path that seemed to beckon the observer to step out onto the jewelled trail. In the air was an atmosphere of tenseness. Sparkling pinpoints of light reflected from tiny stars, stared up from the deep water like thousands of sentinel eyes watching for the one who dared intrude upon this scene of perfect solitude. Then, suddenly, the moon dipped out of sight and darkness enveloped all. Xo vestige of former beauty remained — nothing but inkv blackness. T.W.O. ORPHEUS He had nothing to be afraid of; that was certain. Certainly, no one could dis¬ cover his crime until long after he had left. Vet the feeling clung to him, as it had many times before, that somewhere, somehow he had made a mistake—a mis¬ take that might cause him to lose his life. True, he should have been hardened against such ideas, but he had never been me ant to lead such a life as he was lead¬ ing. Yet. he was glad to do such things, because it meant keeping “her She had married him with the impres¬ sion that he was moderately wealthy, but soon found otherwise, to her discontent. Since he could not have borne to have her leave him, he went out that first night to gain money any way in which he could; and the quickest, easiest way to wealth is crime! At first the pitiful convulsions of his victims’ dying bodies had sickened him somewhat, but when he arrived home and saw the happiness in “her” eyes when she saw the money in his hand, he decided anything was worth going through to gain her love and content. He soon found himself climbing a familiar flight of stairs, walking down a familiar hall and entering a small, homely apartment. He opened the door noisily and stood on the threshold waiting for a salutation from his wife but none came. He called—no answer! He listened—ttn- mistakeably he heard a faint cry of des¬ pair. It was she; he knew it. Only “her” voice could sound so much like the tink¬ ling of silver bells, only “her” ruby lips could have emitted a cry so full of pain and remorse, lie raced from room to room, vainly searching, until at last he hit upon the idea of searching her closet. He rushed to the wardrobe and pulled open the door. A wave of oppressive heat met his chest, volumes of choking smoke met his nostrils and a brilliant red light met his eyes. He coughed and gasped and gazed with watery eyes into the interior of the closet. There in the floor, as though a trapdoor had been lifted from it. was a flight of stone stairs from which poured forth the smoke and glare. Again he heard “her” voice, but not crying now, laughing a horrible, maniacal laugh, and another voice laughed with hers. That other voice seemed to harness all the evil of the universe in its inane roars. A de¬ sire to have “her” back burned in him. He descended the stairs. There at the bottom of the stairs “she” stood with her real husband, with the boiling brimstone bubbling at their feet. ROY ASTON, 12A CARRY ON!

Of course. 1 had a vague idea about things in general, but I had a lot to learn about a nurse’s life. I don’t know whether all probies act like scared bunnies, but our class cer¬ tainly did. To begin with, our uniforms hadn ' t been washed enough to take up the extra length allowed for shrinkage, and we tripped over ourselves every time we went up or down stairs. The first two or three weeks in the hospital seemed Past Forty like a dream in an endless maze of halls and rooms, with here and there a stair¬ case to add to the general confusion. Then gradually we became able to find our way around. After two weeks in the classroom, we were sent to work on the floors. It took some time to become accustomed to carrying bedpans and emesis dishes; at first we held our breaths each time, but we did it so often we were fairly gasping at the end of the day! Our day begins at six a.m. when some¬ one at the hospital rings our phone to waken us. (One morning I counted fifty- four rings.) We have breakfast at the hospital at six-thirty and prayers at six- fiftv. Then we are ready for work at seven. Until ten or ten-thirty, the floors are in a state of confusion, as we try to ■‘do up” our patients in between doctors’ visits, taking patients to the operating rooms, admitting and discharging and do¬ ing a hundred other things. In the after¬ noons when we aren’t so busy (we hope), the nurses have two hours off. (Beside one half-day a week, we have four hours off on Sunday). At seven p.m,. if everything is done to the satisfaction of the supervisor on each floor, we are free to do what we like, as long as we are in the residence by ten, and have the lights out by ten-thirty (it says here!) One night every week we may sign for a late leave until eleven fifty-five. When we work nights, we begin at seven p.m. and finish at seven a.m, I still get mixed up when I work nights, be¬ cause I go oh duty one day, and come off the next. Since the night staff is not half as large as the day staff, we help clean up the dining room after midnight sup¬ per. and the case room. It doesn’t clo to have too much imagination in doing the latter. Emptying the linen hamper in the dark is gruesome when you grab hold of a bundle of warm, blood-soaked cloth. All the corridor lights are turned out at night, except for a few night lights at the floor. Every time 1 walk down the hall, I trip over half a dozen flower vases, (Continued on Page 53) BLUE AND WHITE Stately and tall. The palm-tree stands, Offering rest and shade To weary travellers.

Of greater things than sky and ground: Of stupendous spectres that have grown From infinitestimal thoughts and phrases That come from deep and darkened hazes. And minds have tried for years in vain To search out knowledge, whence it came. What is my soul? Where doth it berth? Be it hell or heaven, or here on earth? I compare mv soul to the night. And to the darkness in its flight. The dawn is comparable to the death That reveals my soul, and steals nfy breath. BOB GIRLING THE UGLY DUCKLING Penelope Porter was by no means a pretty girl. She would never make any hearts throb faster when she entered the room. In fact Penelope was very plain and some might call her ugly. Her auburn hair was pulled tightly behind her ears and held down with a clip Penelope was never allowed to wear any make-up. “It will ruin your girlish complexion. said her sister who did not use it spar¬ ingly. Penelope’s sister Jane was consid¬ ered very beautiful and since their mother had died. Jane had full charge of Pene¬ lope. The doctor had told Penelope she did not need to wear the heavy gold-rimmed glasses, but her sister had always insisted she should. So day after day Penelope went to school wearing her flat oxfords and unstylish clothes. Penelope was always very lonesome. She didn’t have any close friend to talk with between periods about the date last Saturday (as if she ever had any) or about what to wear to the prom. Oh. the prom! How Penelope had wanted to go. but who would ask her. Betty Thomas and Anne Johnson were going, but they were so different. They always went to dances and things. Penelope heard two girls snicker and giggle as she passed them. Her brown eyes filled with tears behind those horrible, horrible glasses. Penelope was always glad when four o’clock came and she could go home to Matty, the house-keeper. Matty was Penelope’s only and best friend. When Penelope entered the kitchen Matty was very excited. “Here , she said in gasps, “it’s for you, BRYN DAVIES Walkerville Collegiate this year suffered a great loss in the death of Bryn Davies. His name has been permanently inscribed in the records of our school, for he was outstanding in every phase of school life—in sports, in cadets, in The Agcra, in social activities and in the classroom. By those of us who ware privileged to know him he will never be forgottan. BLUE AND WHITE honey, and it isn’t a girl.” Penelope took the phone almost too scared to answer. Hello,” she said timidly. “Hi , came a cheery voice from the other end, is this Penny?” Penelope had never been called Penny before, but she liked the name im¬ mensely. “Yes, it is, she answered. Well, he returned, this is Dave Ben¬ son; would you like to go to the prom with me? Pene lope was too nervous to answer, but she finally managed a weak yes”. Penelope did not tell her sister of the invitation, because she knew she would not let her go. Matty and Penny put their money together and bought all the necessary things for the dance. It was the night of the dance and to everyone’s astonishment Penny looked beautiful. Of course Jane did not see her. for she had a date. As Penny was waiting for Dave, the phone rang. ' I ' his is Betty Thomas,” came a famil¬ iar voice; I thought it was my duty to tell you that Dave only asked you be¬ cause it was a frat initiation.” Thank you,” said Penny quietly, “I am very glad you called.” Before the tears that were rushing to her eyes could come Penny heard the doorbell. She opened tlje door to Dave. Is Penny ready yet?” he questioned looking over the pretty girl at the door. Yes. I am. Dave’s mouth fell. “Are you Penny? I don ' t believe it—you look so different. Come on, honey, let’s go.” “I’m sorry, 1 can’t go with you Dave, I found out why you asked me. v Oh.” said Dave turning a brilliant red, “well, so long.” Penny watched him as he went down to the car. Then she let go and just sobbed and sobbed. “You ' d better dry those pretty eyes if we’re going to be on time for the dance, Pennv.” Third Prize in the Art Contest Jack bossing. Penny looked up to see her handsome cousin Jack standing in front of her. Jack helped Penny with her coat. Then, taking her arm. he guided her out to the car. When Penny walked in with Jack, en¬ vious heads turned to look at the couple. Penny had a wonderful time that night and she was no longer the ugly duckling.

We paid the driver, picked up our bags, turned, and walked through the archway into the college- Tom Beckett—the star of some of Walkervflle ' s best plays—and I walked into a year of confusion, happiness, and work (this last took up the least of our time). To tell of everything that happens in a year would require reams of paper. Per¬ haps one ur two events, however; would serve to show you a few of the memories that accumulate so quickly in the few years at college Initiation was the first event that came hurtling down on us. This year, because of the large number of servicemen in first year, initiations were light. We woke up one night just in time to see our door broken open. We were pounced up¬ on and dragged, in spite of our struggles (which seemed only to add to the hilar¬ ity), clown to the basement and dumped into tubs of cold water. Our beds, mean¬ while, had been tossed, piece by piece, out cif the window. Then, of course, there was the time Tom and I took a friend ' s bed apart, hid the pieces, and then staged a Treasure Hunt, College, however, is not all fun. There is some work. Indeed, there is a lot of work—much more than you ever get in Walkerville, even with teachers like Miss Robbins and Mr. Lowdem One of the easiest things to do in college is to get behind in your assignments and then be snowed under at examination time trying to get them done. The sophs — those creatures who get up at eleven every day and go around with a superior smirk and a vacant stare —insist that if you keep up vour work there is nothing to fear when the hectic days of May roll around. Be that as it may, you will find college a place of work and play.

Or have you the desire for a few mo¬ ments of leisure after school? If so. come and fill your place at Christian Fellow¬ ship. For the benefit of you who have the idea that we are just a bunch of long¬ faced old fogies, and preach long, dry sermons, excluding all fun, I must say that you have the wrong opinion of us. We have “singspirations” which are dif¬ ficult to surpass. There are regular “squashes”, banquets, social get-to¬ gethers, conferences, and camps. Page Forty-F.ight From time to time, we have special speakers. For instance, recently, we had speakers and professional singers from Tennessee and Georgia. When we do not have speakers, we have discussions on portions of Scripture. It is a world-wide organization. Affili¬ ated with the Christian Fellowship is the Scripture Union, a world-wide fellowship for daily Bible reading, having approxi¬ mately one million members, who read the Scriptures daily in more than ninety different languages.

The first couple of weeks at school are a hustle and hustle with everyone buying new hooks, selling old books, settling down to the grind of homework, electing students for school organizations, making new friends and meeting old churns. During the first few weeks of school this year the halls hummed with the joy¬ ous tales of summer. They told of Shir¬ ley Branch’s trip to the lumber mills in Northern Ontario and Quebec. They echoed Olga Evan’s enthusiastic tale of her trip to New York and Alice Martin’s travel to Winnipeg. Summer is the time for hitch-hiking and Harry Marchand, Harry Longmuir and Glenn Gilliland took advantage of this. Harry M. “thumbed” his way to Florida and hack while Harry L. and Glenn went to New York. Many of the girls joined the “farmerette corps, as did l’at Barnby, Beverly Brough and Dorothea Harwood. Ann Wilson was swimming instructor at the Lampman Page Fifty Camp at Morpeth, Ontario. Margaret Werte enjoyed being a counsellor at Camp Wathana. Michigan. Others enjoy¬ ed swimming all summer at their cottages —Camille YYhelpton at Belle River, Lois LeFave at Rondeau—while some, such as Helen Scott. Shirley Noakes, and Beverly Markle stayed in Windsor for a lazy time. When everyone had finally settled down to school work, the Girls’ Athletic Association sponsored a tea-dance. It was a get acquainted” tea-dance to wel¬ come newcomers to YY.C.I. The music was supplied by the school orchestra un¬ der the leadership of Mr. Brown. The “spot dance was won by Jack Reid and Shirley Branch. Miss Cherry Blossom (Mildred Smorong) was discovered by Bill Meeke. while YY ' innifred Auld spied Mr. X. (John Kurylo). The day before the Essex Scottish came home, the Agora sponsored a tea- dance to aid the J. L. McNaughton schol¬ arship fund. The popular music came from the records of a juke box. BLUE AND WHITE championship Multi-coloured streamers covered the windows with drawings of soccer balls with while lettering spelling out the appropriately named “Wossa Wiggle. M During the dance the soccer team presented Mr. Young, their coach, with a gift. Mr, Young retaliated by treating some of the players to a “coke after the dance. Before the dance, the senior girls volleyball championship team challenged the senior boys — the girls won. The school ' s activities will reach their exciting climax with the Military Ball when all the lads with their pretty lassies will enjoy the best dance in the world!!! MARGARET MORAY Football games occupied our Friday evenings for a while, but on November 16, the annual Gambler’s Gambol was held. This dance has always been de¬ lightful but this year it excelled itself. Blue and white was the dominant colour scheme. The windows and ceiling were covered with blue and white twisted streamers. Big cards—ace of spades, king of clubs, queen of hearts, jack of diamonds—were hung about the gym. On one side big cards spelled out the words “Gambler’s Gambol while “Come with me, my honey” hung over the staircase to the balcony Two huge dice hung in the baskets at each end of the gym. Don- aid Kilgour who escorted Frances Thomson was admitted to the dance for one cent. After the hectic Christmas examina¬ tions the commencement exercises came. A short skit preceded the exercises. Win- nifred Samson, class historian, gave an interesting account of the graduates. Frank Hull was the aide valedictorian. W, C L Scholarship winners were George Turnbull, Lillian Laakso, Eugene Lepa, W illiam Young and Charniaine Humph¬ ries. Following this the school gave a dance for the graduates The decorations for this “home-coming” dance were in accordance with the holiday season. Pic¬ tures of Santa Claus and winter scenes decked the walls while a gaily lighted Christmas tree stood in one corner. Also in December, the boys ' and girls choirs united to give a very successful party in the school library. Sid Tarleton acted well as Santa Claus. When the holidays were over, every¬ one settled down to school work but not without a few parties. Around the end of January the pupils of 9F had a sleigh- ride party at Haines’ and 11B had a skat¬ ing party at Stodge 11 Park with jack Col will acting as host for refreshments afterwards On February 23, 12B had a party at the home of Marion Malpass Mid-winter brought exciting basket¬ ball games to fill our time on Friday nights. On a “bye” night, February 8, a dance was given in honour of the soccer team which won the W.O.S.S.A soccer So lovely a lass W ith such charm and class. No fellow can pass her by. The boys all clamour For Walkerville glamour. And this is the reason why.

The card of the class is our friend Earl Keyes, Students and teachers alike does he tease. Mary Adams, our Agora Rep., Is doing a swell job. keeping us hep.

Peggy Stevenson makes the French really flow W hile the rest of us think “Boy. am I slow.” The kid of the class is Homenick Walt When he played with his yo-yo. Mr. Hugill said “halt’’. . Margaret “Jeff” Houston and Aileen “Mutt” McLarty Seem to think two really make a party. Ah. the man of the class is casanova Don Porter Because in the moonlight, wow, does he court her!

A shy little miss is Gloria H., And. oh my goodness! How Physics she hates. A jolly young thing is Norine H.. For only the handsomest boys does she see. The artist of 12C is Beulah Marcoux The pictures she draws, woo, woo. woo. Florence Anderson and Ruth LaBute In their similar green suits look cute. BETTY WAMSLEY, 12C HOW TO PRESERVE A HUSBAND Recipe Submitted by Llwellya Hillis, 12A He careful in your selection, do not choose too young, and take only such as have been reared in a good moral atmo¬ sphere. When once decided upon and selected, let that part remain forever settled and give your entire thought to preparation for domestic use. Some insist on keeping them in a pic¬ kle, while others are continually getting them into hot water. This only makes them sour, hard, and sometimes bitter. Even poor varieties may be made sweet, good and tender by garnishing with patience, well sweetened with smiles and flavoured with kisses to taste: then wrap them in a mantle of charity, keep warm with a steady fire of domestic de¬ votion, and serve with peaches ami cream. When thus prepared they will keep for years.

TRUE CONFESSIONS Ollie Camile Fletcher, Archibald Irving: horn in Ti!- Imry East. Asked about 10A he said “pretty fair class”, but realizing he was speaking to a IGA student he corrected himself, “It ' s a very good class and I enjoy teaching it”. We all know Mr. Fletcher left the school to serve his country and of this we’re very proud. He told me he is really glad to he hack as he enjoys teaching in this school. He said his favourite pastime is playing basketball, yet his ambition is to retire. Green, Findlay: born in Elgin County. He said. “Watkerville is the best Col¬ legiate in Windsor and Ontario because il has a good class of students and good teachers. ’ He likes 10A as they have ability and are good workers. He teaches Science and that explains why gardening is his hobby. 11 is dislikes “are many.” He stated that he had already reached his ambition. Forman, Clement Murray: born in Lon¬ don. England. He thinks “10A is noisy” (confiden¬ tially. so do a number of other teachers.) He prides Walkerville as being “tops.” He enjoys teaching Mathematics, al¬ though iie is a “whiz at Geography.” Sports are his favourite pastimes. ' Phis was proven by the great shows the rugby team put on. He states be dislikes “peo¬ ple who talk too much.” Naturally, he was speaking to a 10A student at the moment. He hopes to re-visit France.

BLUE MONDAY WITH 9B Mary Cameron Twas Monday morning, and all through the school The children were taking their seats, or their stools Shirley was putting her Math in array. Buzz sputtered a spray as she cackled awav. The second bell rang and we rushed to our seats. Then in sailed “Checkerboard” like the whole fleet. The attendance was checked and all was serene. Then Jerry and Jim messed up the scene. We struggled through Geography, and then in P.T. We frolicked around as gay as could be . Through English we listened |uite care¬ fully. While Miss Auld explained all very clearly. The third bell rang: we rose from our seats, Alas came the order. “Pronouns Com¬ plete !” We strode with caution to Mr. Ball’s room. Who thinks we get answers from the man in the moon. No sign of our teacher? “Shall we re¬ treat?” But—hush! ’Twas he coming; we knew ’twas “de-feet.” Then, as we staggered out of his room. Still echoed these words that were charg¬ ed at each goon. Personality?—Character? — Too slow, sit doon.” Hence to Math we dolefully crept.

Ask her how she likes it. She was also the managing spirit hack of the girls ' hockey league. Secretary— Dorothea Harwood. As she is also the writer of this article it seems that Dot was chosen because of her abil¬ ity to write so that she herself, at least can understand it. Last September at the beginning of the school year at alkerville C.L, on e of the first things to be accomplished was the organization of the various socie¬ ties, Xot the least among these was the Girls ' Athletic, whose members have done well in organizing and seeing through to a finish the different inter¬ form games. The following are the members elect- eel by the student body : President —Sylvia Fedoruk, Sylvia is one of those people who can ' t be outdone when it comes to accomplishing any¬ thing. She will tackle any job and doesn ' t rest until she sees it through. She has handled her executive position in a most efficient manner. Vice President— Donna Haley, Here ' s another girl who does a good job. It seems she is entrusted with the care of BasketbaF —Ann Saitchuk, You can ' t be surprised to see Ann heading this sport especially if you’ve ever seen her whiz around the floor in a basketball game. She has really done wonders tak¬ ing care of the inter-forms. Volleyball —Helen Happy, Ye had a very successful Volleyball league this fall, Helen is proficient in just about every sport we play. Baseball — Betty M cCormiek. Npth¬ ing much to report on baseball yet but there ' s plenty about Betty—another ver¬ satile girl. We’re expecting wonderful things to happen to baseball when she takes over. Swimming —Pat Barnby. Definitely the right person for this sport. If you ' ve ever seen Pat in the water you ' ll know exactly what I mean. She’s a most enthusiastic member of the society.

The inter-form league is still anyone’s battle. The inter-school team is practising diligently in hopes of cap¬ turing the W.S.S.A. Championship and eventually that of Western Ontario. There are many good players on the team. The forward line is very efficient and with such good players as Ann Wil¬ son and Ann Sauchuk heading the line, we are counting on them to sink many baskets. The team is fortunate in having a strong defense. The girls don’t seem to be afraid to get in there and face their opponent: considering some of the teams they have met, they certainly deserve a lot of credit. The first game was the one against Tech. We’re not yet quite certain wheth¬ er we were good or Tech was out of practice. Nevertheless we did hand them a good trouncing. The team swept through the rest of the season in much the same manner until they met Sand¬ wich. They left us two baskets behind in the final score. We may have a chance to meet them again and we certainly hope that by the time this magazine is printed, we shall have turned the tables on them. No matter who does eventually win. we know that the girls played hard and enjoyed every minute of it. Much of the success of the team goes to the coach. Miss “Pete McClvmont. She always had an encouraging word or pat on tile- hack that made the girls determined to give their best. (Continued from Page 23) As they ' became familiar with the army life, cadets saw all types of equipment used and received valuable training. Only one thing was missing at camp, and that was mail. Nothing in the world was more welcome than a nice perfumed letter from somewhere at home in Wind¬ sor. Please do not forget our boys this year. They think of you when they’re away.

Another sport of interest in W.C.I. is bowling. This particular sport has not been very successful in past seasons, but this year it has been revived by a very able leader. Many students take full advantage of this opportunity to show their skill. Miss Saunders, the instigator of bowling in Walkerville. is back at the school again. For this reason we expect success for the years to come. A game that is gaining attention here is hockey—yes. girls’ hockey. There is real enthusiasm shown for this sport, ami the girls outdo themselves to show the boys that they too can play this game. The league has only recently been star ¬ ed, but we hope that it will attract more girls, and develop better and better players. Badminton is what we term the Sat¬ urday game. Several students come to the school on Saturday to play. I have heard it reported that so far this year it has been quite a success. ( ' .iris’ Track 1945—For the first time in many years, our girls failed to take first place in the W.S.S.A. competition. The team bowed gallantly with a mere 28 points consisting of only one first. Sylvia Fedoruk broke her own record as usual. It’s quite a habit around here, you know. For interesting conversation why not ask Dorothea Harwood how she felt after running the 440 relay. However, we do hope the girls will be back on the winning streak for this spring’s W.O.S. S.A. Meet. If you drop in some Tuesday or Thurs¬ day night at the pool, you’ll see the girls getting ready for the Swimming Meet which will be held sometime in April. They are practising in earnest and hope to walk off with all possible honours. VVe had a good showing at the meet last year and hope to have an even better one this year.

These are the girls who swept through the city league without being handed a single de¬ feat. There were times when they left the enemy far behind and had to slow down. I imagine that being captained by Hetty Scorgie had a lot to do with their victories and eventual triumph. I really don’t think that there was any one par¬ ticular player who outshone the others for all the girls were working for the welfare of the team. They were hoping to go out and conquer bigger battles in the W.O.S.S.A. but volleyball was not a VV.O.S.S.A. sport during the past year; maybe we will have an opportunity to enter next year. Across we behold the 1 liter-form champs. Don’t think that they didn ' t work hard for this coveted position be¬ cause every battle that they fought look¬ ed to them to be their last. There was a great deal of interest shown in this sport during the past year and we hope to be able to keep it an enjoyable one for fu¬ ture athletes. (Continued from Page 68) Bowling — Barbara Lees.

Athletic Awards—In order to stimulate interest in athletics, the girls’ system of awards is based on a point system. A large “W” is awarded to a girl who earns 25 points or more on the year’s activities. Those with 15 to 25 points are awarded small “W’s”. When a girl has earned enough awards, she receives an athletic pin. while 5 large letters entitles the holder to a gold ring. Last year’s large Y” winners were Ann Wilson, Sylvia Fedoruk, Dorothea Harwood, and Diana I’ilipchuk. A recent winner of the ring is Kav Baird, one of the best athletes to graduate from this school. Page Seventy-Three BLUE AND WHITE BOYS’ ATHLETIC SOCIETY Honorary President.Mr; X. Ball President...........Lyle Ross Vice President...—.... Wright Bel! Secretary.Harry Marehand Treasurer. .Mr A. C, Brown Assistant Treasurer Harry Longmuir The above executive was elected by the W.C.I, boys by ballot in September, 1945. Because of the many activities in which these officers of the society take part regular meetings have not been held, but a meeting has been called whenever there was a matter to be decided. Posters were obtained to advertise the W.S.S.A, games, cheer leaders were secured for the foot¬ ball games and the ticket sales for all games have been handled by the society. House leagues have been operated for soccer, football, basketball and hockey A search for a larger school trophy case, begun last year, was continued this year but without success and now a built’in case is to be supplied by the Windsor Board of Education. The W,C,L Injured Athletes ' Fund was revived last year and the proceeds of one of the semi-final play-off hockey games, and of a Senior Boys vs Teachers basketball game were added to the benefit fund this year. FOOTBALL This year ' s football team was a team of which Walkerville can well be proud. Starting out the season as the underdog this team went as far as the finals in the city championship series. A great deal of this success was due to the spirit that the fellows on the team showed—time after time the Walkerville Tartans came from behind to win the game. Another and even greater factor in the success of the team was the wonderful job of coaching done by Mr. Forman. There is no doubt about it, Mr. Forman did a remarkable job of rounding out a good team, for. unknown to a lot of people, Walkerville Collegiate had about the smallest squad, numerically, of any school in the city. Very often Mr. Furman found himself without enough players at practice to run a scrimmage. LYLE ROSS (centre half). Lyle was our big gun this year, lie did most of the plunging and kicking and was a moun¬ tain on defence. Lyle was selected lor this year ' s All-City Team, RODNEY (ROD) MONTROSE (cen¬ tre). Rod was line-captain this year and he was both a defensive and an offensive player. DONALD GIBSON (middle), Don was one of the best tacklers on the team and was always a thorn in the side of the opposition breaking up play after play.

Sam had an educated toe and was the highest scorer on the team because of his accur¬ ate kicking from placement. WRIGHT BELL (left half). Wright was the fastest man on the team and he showed the opposition he could use bis speed to full advantage. WILE DAY (end). Wilf is a little fel¬ low with a lot of spirit. He pulled down many passes for long gains. JOHN MacLACHLAN (middle and end). John was a real power on the line. Defensively and offensively Johnn y rank¬ ed among the best. DON (200 lbs.) BELL (inside). Don was the heaviest man on the team and let the opposition feel the full force of his weight. Don will be a lot of help on next year’s team. HARRY ASTON (end). Harry was another of the small chaps on the team but size meant nothing to him. he would tackle anyone. He also pulled down many passes. HARRY LONGMUIR (quarterback). Harry was the smallest fellow on this team. He was speedy and shifty and always a player the opposition had to watch. SOLLY SIGAL (middle). A big fellow with a lot of drive. A fellow with a lot of fight and plenty of team spirit. IAN WILKIE (flying wing). Ian play¬ ed a steady game both on defense and offense. He was this year’s team captain. Other members of the team were: Ed. Kornacki. Doug. Montrose. Peter Abram- off, Glen Hope, John Dowhaniuk. Harry Marchand, Neil MacPhee. Peter Mrako- vich. Ed. Crispin, Larry Marlowe, Ross McBride, Serga Yanchuk. Nick Grabb. Dave Holmes. Vic Kulman, Bob Mapes. Stuart Johnston and Bill Hull were the best managers a team could hope to have. In one of the most thrilling football games in the High School league. Walk- erville defeated Assumption by the score 12-11. In the final game Vocational edged Pa e Seventy-Six alkerville out of the championship of the city. SOCCER Soccer was the first sport to bring home to W.C.I. a W.O.S.S.A. champion¬ ship. The team, under the able coaching of Mr. Young, went through a ten game schedule with only one loss. In the finals for the city, Walkerville nosed out a hard-fighting Patterson team by a score of 2-1. Then the Tartans defeated Chat¬ ham in the W.O.S.S.A. semi-finals bv a score of 3-0. London was the scene of the playoffs lor W.O.S.S.A. honours between Walk- erville and Hanover, a large, and ex¬ tremely well-padded team. Their extra padding was to no avail for they lost to alkerville by a score of 4-0. Throughout the season the team scored thirty-two goals and had only seven goals scored aginst it. These figures are indeed a tribute to the ability of the de- fence in protecting our goal and to the forwards for getting the goals. A great deal of the credit for the team’s showing goes to our coach. Mr. Young spent a lot of time and hard work- in turning out a winning team. Credit should also be given for the fine spirit and co-operation displayed by the boys during the playing season. GERALD NEELY — Outside Left. Hard working Gerry never quit trying and this type of player influences his team-mates. EARL KEYES—Captain—Inside Left. Besides being a good leader Earl is an excellent shot and a good team player— the best inside left in W.O.S.S.A. this year. We hope Earl will be back with us next year. GEORGE I RIM ESCU — Centre For- ward—George is one of our fastest de¬ veloping players — played his position almost perfectly and scored many a goal this year. George has another year with us. FRANK LONG—Inside Right. Quiet steady player, a handy man to have on a forward line. BLUE AND WHITE SENIOR SOCCER TEAM BACK ROW: Mr. Young. R. Spence, H. Schofield. N. Morrison, M. Kozina, E.

We hope Ed. will he with us next season. JLM REECE—Right Half. Jim. a stub¬ born checker and possessor of a long kick which fits our style of soccer perfectly. GRANT CULLEN—Right Back. One of the two best full backs in the W.O.S. S.A. League. Grant will be a tough man to replace next year. NORM MARSHALL—Left Back. The second of the two best backs in W.O.S. S.A. We will be mighty sorry to see Norm go. MIKE DAYPUK—Half. Mike did very well at a strange position this year. He may greatly add to his laurels in a full back position next year. JOE STANKOV—Forward.

Mike didn ' t get much chance to show his skill this year but we are counting on him for next year. ROBT. SPENCE—Forward. Bob ' was one of our handiest alternates for the forward line. NICK CARLAN—Half. Nick broke into our team late in the season and proved a strong check with a long kick. Nick could make a fine fullback. GLENN GILLILAND and HERB. SCHOFIELD our two goalies. Two of the best in the league. ANDY INCHOWICK—Half. One of spare halves whose long kicking should make him an excellent full back prospect.

SENIOR BASKETBALL Bingo; Walkerville triumphs again as the W.CX senior boys’ basketball team won a third major city league champion¬ ship in one school year. The Tartans, who, at the beginning of the season were not even rated as having a chance, scored an upset triumph over the pre-season favourites, the Assun p- tion High School Raiders in a sudden death tilt to decide the crown on March 9 before 2,700 screaming, cheering fans at Kennedy Collegiate. The team was bolstered at the start of the season by the return from the wars of Major Ian Allison, He moulded together a team that had only three players who had pre¬ vious senior competition experience into an aggregation who, though they did not look so brilliant in regular season play, suddenly came to life in the playoffs to completely outclass their rivals and win the crown. Continuing into the W.G.S. S.A. play downs alkerville defeated Leamington in both games of a hotne- and-home series and received a bye into the finals with London Central. The score of this game was 18-15 for London. Facts and Figures On Players FRANK (LEGGY) MARCH AND, cen¬ tre, height 0,3, age 17. Walkerville was fortunate to have the best city league centre on their team. He is one of the greatest offensive forwards Walkerville has ever had. His scoring average was 14 points per game. Aside from being a great offensive star he is also a good player on defense and an expert ball handler. He was the only unanimous selection to the All-City basketball team. BILL MEEKE left forward, height 0.0. age 17. Played regular forward and teamed with Marchand and Gilliland to form one of the best forward combina¬ tions in the eitv, Meeke has a very dan- Pase Eighty BLUE AND WHITE JUNIOR BASKETBALL TEAM BACK ROW: F.

GLENN GILLILAND, right forward, heigh t 6.0, age 17, Glenn was the third member of Walkerville’s offense and operated from the pivot most of the time, Gilliland was a dangerous shot from the corner and could always be counted on to make a good share of the points in a game. Gilliland narrowly missed out mi the All-City first team hut landed a sec¬ ond team birth with ease, LEO POSTOVIT, rear guard height 5,09, age 17. Leo is the youngest and smallest member of the Walkerville quin¬ tet but if good things come in small packages this boy must have got a double dose. He possesses a very good one- handed shot and scores more than a guard usually does. JACK NEWBY, left guard, height 5.10, age 19, Jack is the mainstay of the Walk erville defence and although he does not set re many points has a crack long shot and at times has flashed form befitting a forward. This is his last year at senior basketball and he also just missed out in making the All-City guard but made the position on the second team. JUNIOR BASKETBALL This vear ' s team, coached by Mr. Fur¬ man, played good basketball to finish the schedule in first place. Unfortunately, in the playoffs, the team lost to Kennedy who went on to become W.S.S.A, Cham¬ pions. All but three of this year ' s team will be seniors next year, and so Mr. For¬ man must build all over again, (Continued from Page 78) ing and co-operation, cleared the way for those who did score. A few of these are Reg. Switzer Jim Reece, Bob Huggard, Murray Lynn, and. of course, George Sales, who did such a good job when needed to replace Wilson. All these boys deserve a large amount of credit.

TRACK Last spring, at the animal track meet held at Kennedy stadium, the track team of W.t I, won enough events to give Walkerville second place in the final standing, with 96.5 points, and, in pro¬ portion to the size of our track team, we did far better than the winning school. M XzK, -yaeon b,x SENIORS Frank Marchand was high man in the senior group, getting first in the 100- yard dash and the board jump and a sec¬ ond in the high jump. Frank was tied with a Vocational student for individual champion of the city in his group. Wright Hell was next, with three seconds; in the 440 yards, the pole-vault and the broad jump. Boris Sonik placed second in both the discus throw and the javelin. Wilf Day took the high jump and Andy Melnik came second in the discus and third in the javelin. At the Y.O,S.S,A. meet, Frank won the 100- and 220-yard dashes and took a second in the broad jump. INTERMEDIATES In this group, we have John Caddie, another boy who was individual cham¬ pion for the city. At Kennedy stadium, he collected first in the 100- and 220-yard dashes, in the hop, step and jump and a third in the high jump. Next came Neil MacPhee. who won the discus and took fourth place in the javelin throw. Gerry Neely ran second in the 120-yard low hurdles and Mike Daypuk placed third in the 100-yard dash.
