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.

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.
