BLUE AND WHITE I«) 4 7 5 A Message From Our Principal It is a pleasure for me to welcome the 1947 number of the “ISlue and White, and I wish to congratulate ,, ur Editor, her staff and all who have contributed to its success. This magazine makes a special appeal to all. for it is the year hook of our graduates and it reviews the various undergraduate interests of our Collegi¬ ate. It deals with formal classroom procedure as well as the cultural and athletic extra-curricular activities which form Mich an important part in character building. During the last three years we have encouraged House Leagues in rugby, basketball, soccer, volleyball, and hockey. These make it possible for all students to play on at least one team We have revived our orchestra and boys ' choir. We feel that these activities develop talents and broaden view¬ points and teach us to admire the opinions and accomplishments of others. The members of the Blue and White staff have had many varied experi¬ ences in preparing this magazine. Their work in si lling advertising, collecting news items and stories, has been an education for them. I feel that this maga¬ zine will give all our students a more intimate knowledge of what our school is doing to develop the varied interests of our undergraduates. W. X. BALL, Principal

Seventy of these boys paid the supreme sacrifice. The portals of death have closed upon them and they are gone—but not forgotten. ith reverent appreciation and humble gratitude to all those who so bravely laid down then- lives. we pay homage. “There is no lovelier light in the world than the brightness of the lamp of memory. Its oil is the oil ot sacrifice and its gleam is fed bv undying love. I’hus the students of the gradu¬ ating class of 1946 have presented this plaque to the school in memorv of all the boys who will not come back. These students hope it will serve as a perpetual reminder to future students ol Walkerville Collegiate—a reminder to do everything in their power to bring peace and happiness to the world. For it is up to the south of to-day to keep the 1 ' reedom Porch burning brightly so that it may send a beacon of light the world over and peace on earth may truly reign in the hearts of mankind.
