B L U F. A N I ) W HITE 1948 TRIBUTE TO OUR FIRST TEACHERS ON OUR 25th ANNIVERSARY Miss M. Auld Mr. J. Hartford It is difficult for us to realize that, back in 1922, when the Walkerville High School first opened, there was an enrollment of only 195 stu¬ dents. The new High School was built on the site of the old Walkerville Tennis Club and its first principal was Mr. Meade. Working along with him was a small, yet very capable, staff of teachers, and one of these was Miss Auld, whom we are still very fortunate to have with us. Miss Auld’s first experience with high school students was at the Continuation School, oper¬ ated in three rooms at King George School. Here she taught history, and Grade 9 English and geography. Later when our present school was built, the Technical School occupied the third floor and Miss Auld became one of the first tea¬ chers of the High Scool section. She remembers well those early days when she was the girls’ P.T. teacher. Also, as leader of the auditorium work, she directed assemblies and led community singing. Under her encouragement, the Literary Societies produced some very fine plays. In her second year at Walkerville, Miss Auld became the art teacher and all the fine work since then has been under her direction. Commenting on her career at Walkerville. Miss Auld said that she loved the school from the moment she set eyes on it and she has loved it ever since. In 1923. Walkerville High School attained the status of a collegiate and Mr. Hartford, a very fine teacher from Guelph Collegiate, came here to teach and he is still helping us over the rough spots in geometry. Since coming to W alkerville. Mr. Hartford has been invaluable in the teaching of algebra, geometry, science and commercial mathematics. He says he has enjoyed working with the Agora very much and has been pleased with the executive ability of the students and the willingness to assume responsibility. He feels that Walkerville students and teachers have been particularly fortunate in being associated with such fine principals as Mr. Meade, Mr. McNaugh- ton. and Mr. Ball. In concluding, Mr. Hartford hopes that “our splendid record of scholarship, loyalty and cour¬ tesy may be well maintained in the years which lie ahead”. BARBARA TAIT, 12A.

As we finish our school year, we look forward and wonder what lies ahead for us. Having grown up in a world of strife and sorrow and ultimate victory, we are now living in a world of reconstruction and change. We are starting a long voyage into illimitable space—into the boundless unknown. Although the future is veiled to us. as coming citizens we want to make our world one of peace, security, and complete happiness. With courage and strength of purpose we must accomplish our tremendous task. We must take the future which (»od has placed in our outstretched hands, and mould from it a world of harmony and universal brotherhood! As we go on to college and bravtly out into the working world it will he our duty to he good citizens, and our efforts w ill undoubtedly end in the attainment of the elusive goal of world contentment. Let us heed the sound advice of Shakespeare— “ ’T is policy and stratagem must do That you affect: and so must you resolve. That what you cannot do as you would achieve You must perforce accomplish as you may. MARY MORRIS. NUNC DECET The congestion outside Mr. I Suit ' s room after the first period in the afternoon has its only parallel in the pre-Christmas crowds on Wood¬ ward Avenue. It is easy to see that W.C.I. has outgrown the three stories of brick and cement that have housed twenty-five years of budding scholarship. We want a new gymnasium! We need a new gymnasium, and for two very important reasons: first, to provide breathing space for our suffocating Physical Training Department, to house a new cafeteria, and to provide for area in the present building for classrooms; secondly, to save the taxpayer the cost of a new collegiate in expanding Windsor. A new gym in terms of dances, folks, means “bigger, better, and more often ! Like the idea? Then talk it up”! For an ever-growing W.C.L. the kilt will have to be lengthened eventually. The New Look and the majority of Walkerville students will agree with Mr. Horace when he says that “Now is the Hour. AN(1US MACMILLAN.
