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. Financial Chairman: Don Richard. Publicity Chairman; and John Wigle, Social Chairman. I AX WILKIE Page Twenty-Four

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. (Continued on Page 70» Pape Twenty-Three

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. The choir’s social life was not ne- (Continued on Page 29) Page Twentv-Fivc
