BLUE AND WHITE 1V4M 7 ; Those in charge of preparing this magazine have every right to feel that they have presented much interesting information regarding the various activities in our school. Undoubtedly many former students, as well as hundreds now in attendance, will welcome these pages as an addition to the cumulative fund of happiness pertaining to school life. Throughout, you will observe the amount of information students may obtain informally through extra-curricular activities to complement the more formal education of the classroom. Success like happiness, comes to us in many ways; most of 11 s perform in some field of activity much better than in others. The many activities conducted here afford each student an oppor¬ tunity to acquire that more abundant life by co-operation with his fellows in some activity selected by himself. In all spheres of action—the classroom, the auditorium, the gymnasium, the laboratory, the club, the play grounds and the cade t corps—our constant aim is to produce citizens of character. Democracies depend on the sustaining power of good moral citizens. The development of char¬ acter through socialized living is one of the fundamentals of Walfcerville Collegiate. For their efforts and success in producing this comprehensive review, I wish to thank and congratulate the staff and advisors of the 1948-1949 Blue White. W. N. BALL.

For many of us it is the last, and we look back with fond memories on the five best years of our lives. Those who are leaving this year for the realms of higher education—either in the universities or the business world, envy the students who are still becoming acquainted with Walkerville. No one ever forgets the first confused days of Grade nine, the school dances or the hoarse cheers at rugby games. How well we remember the class assemblies (with the anxiety beforehand and the praise afterwards), those study hall periods and the after-class activities or detentions! A bond seems to exist among the former students of W.C.I. when they gather to reminisce about “the good old days.” Incidents that seemed like tragedies at the time are repeated as humorous anecdotes; examinations and wins or defeats in sport have taken on a new light. Our school has excelled in many ways and the graduates have every right to lie proud of its record in sports and scholastic achievements. May we keep high the standards raised for us and be able to say with pride when we leave these halls. “I was a student at Walkerville.” BARBARA TAIT ▼ FORM REPORTERS 9A—Jean Awde, Clayton Brent 9B—Bob Dupuis 9C—Charles Gooby 9D—Dorothy Lang.

The J. L. McNaughton scholarship was award¬ ed to Angus MacMillan who turned it over to John Harden as he had already won the Burnside Scholarship in Mathematics and Science at the University of Toronto worth $625, the First Carter Scholarship of $100 for the highest stand¬ ing obtained in Essex County and the Royal Jubilee Chapter l.O.D.E. Proficiency Bursary of $150. Incidentally, the Carter Scholarships are awarded to students writing ten upper school papers including English Composition, English Literature. Algebra and Geometry. John Barden also won a Dominion Provincial scholarship of S400 as did Anne Balint. If the need persists and their standing remains high, they may receive these scholarships for four years. The University of Western Ontario Scholar¬ ship of $300 was awarded to Alex Adsett in Bi¬ ology. Llewellya Hillis won the Knights’ Scholar¬ ship in Biology worth $825 and also a $40 Carter Scholarship for placing third in Essex County. Beverly ()rd is attending Western as she won W.C.I.’s scholarship of $250. Janet Hugill is also at Western with a scholarship in Mathematics and Physics worth $.500 and a Leonard Founda¬ tion Scholarship of $100 for general proficiency. Margo MacKinnon was awarded a $100 schol¬ arship at the Toronto Conservatory of Music. A $580 scholarship from the Royal Military College was awarded to John MacLachlan. the O.C. of our Cadet Corps. Don MacXaughton came through with a Pro¬ vincial l.O.D.E. Scholarship of $300 which may be earned by any son of a War Veteran. Betty Rogula is attending Normal School at Western on a $400 scholarship. Eugene Cherniak, Carole Harrison and Dorothea Mathieson received $100 Grade 13 Dominion Provincial Scholarships for their good work in Grade 12. May we add our word of congratulations to the many these students will receive, together with the wish that the years may bring them success in their chosen fields. HUGH MORRIS.

Roads and high¬ ways have always shown man’s mutual admir¬ ation and faith in his neighbour. The upright walls are a barrier to progress in civilization but the flattened walls or highways are one of the greatest means of spreading culture throughout the world. Even the tiniest village, fearful of the outside world, endeavoured to wall itself off. The walls were the product of mistrust and fear. Whatever was strange, whatever was unfamiliar, was felt to be evil, and was to be shut out at all costs. Not until Roman civilization introduced a great network of roads across Europe, and battered down these ancient walls, was any significant progress through the interchange of ideas pos¬ sible. Along these great roads marched not only the stalwart legions but also there marched a culture which fanned outwards from Imperial Rome. When Rome itself fell from its pinnacle of world power its great roads persisted as aven¬ ues of mutual understanding. Scholars, teachers, early Christian missionaries, walked along the roads that Rome had built and her legions had maintained. The roads were a symbol of a unify¬ ing spirit throughout Europe. But, as a student of history knows, this spirit of unity fell away with the growth of early nationalism. With the development of the nationalistic states the walls were built again. Nation feared nation, as in the early days tribe- had feared tribe. Again there were those who felt that what was unfamiliar was somehow evil and must be shut out. Patriotism became to many the highest virtue, and with its walls the world divided itself into many cells. The terrible war of 1914-1918 unfortunately did little to remedy this situation. An idealistic but ineffectual League of Nations proved unable to batter down the walls of mistrust and fear which separated man front man and nation from nation. Twenty years after the close of this bloody war. the world was again plunged into conflict. Just as the Great Wall of China could not keep that ancient nation either isolated or safe, so the Mag- inot and Siegfried lines failed to protect modern France and Belgium. The walls have failed mankind. Down through the ages they have proved unequal to the task of helping to form a better world. To-day the world stands at the end of a great and terrible conflict. The choice which lies before us can be resolved into simply this: will we rebuild the walls or will we rebuild the roads? The walls are a symbol of fear and darkness. The roads are a symbol of faith and progress. HUGH MORRIS 13A. ' ' SECOND PRIZE ANGEL CAKE The school wasn ' t very far away, really, but to Eddie’s short legs it seemed vast miles. At last he caught sight of the wire netting which fenced off the playground where the older boys played marbles at recess, but something blocked his vision. Looking up, he saw a little boy like him¬ self beside one of the older boys. Eddie had seen him before, but didn’t exactly know them. Hello—,” he said uncertainly. “Haw,” guffawed the ‘big bov,’ “Let ' ini have it, Davy!” Davy rushed at Eddie, his fists swinging. Eddie started back in amazement -they wanted to fight him! He remembered what his mama had said about turning the other cheek, but anger welled up in him when they started to call him names. “G’wan, hit ’im again, he’s scared,” the ‘big boy’ encouraged. “I am not scared,” Eddie cried resentfully, charging into his youthful opponent with both pudgy fists. Finally the ‘big boy’ intervened and with one wallop knocked the wind completelv out of Eddie, who hit the ground with a hard thump. “C ' mon Davy,” the ‘big boy’ yelled, “We’ll be late!” Hot tears stung Eddie’s eyes: tears of anger, and pride, but mostly of just plain hurt. He smudged away the drops on his cheeks, and standing up. dusted off the seat of his short trousers, lie would be late for school now. and besides, he couldn’t go like this! Eddie surveyed the big tear in the elbow of his shirt, and blinked back a tear. If he went home, his mother would be angry because he was dirty and had been fighting—. “But it wasn’t my fault.” Eddie sobbed, scuff¬ ing away from school. “I didn ' t want to hit him ! You see. Eddie was a good boy. He didn’t live in the most exclusive section of town, but he said his prayers every night, and washed behind 18 BLUE A N D W HITE 1949 his ears each morning. At the door he had paused to plant an obedient kiss on his mother’s soft cheek, before he left for school that morning, little dreaming what was to befall him. Now he was stumbling back to the white frame house where he had lived for almost a year. Eddie ran up the rickety steps crying, “Moth-er-!” Dashing into the kitchen where his mother was just putting away the breakfast dishes, he threw his arms around her. “Why Eddie,” she spoke softly. “You’re home awfully early—what happened honey?” Tears glimmered in Eddie’s eyes. “I—l— had a fight,—th—they hit me, and—” “Who, honey?” “1—1— don’t know — they go to the school -— they called me a dirty — and said 1 was a scairdy cat — and told me 1 didn’t belong—. Yh—why, mommy?” Eddie’s little body was rent with sobs. “I’m not any different from them—am—am I?” Eddie’s mother took him on her knee. “They’re just little boys, honey,” she whispered. “They haven’t grown up yet. f ' hey don t under¬ stand that you’re just the same as they are, underneath, only the good Lord gave them white icing, and he gave you chocolate.” LONNI RICHARDSON 13A. HONOURABLE MENTION THE BEGINNING, OR THE END? The cold eerie wind was pounding against the hospital window beside me. 1 had been sitting on the soft padded sofa for nearly an hour now, but that hour had seemed, to me. nearly a whole lifetime. Emptiness seemed to be engulfing me, slowly, slowly. The clock was wearily dragging by each precious minute. Each tick, tock, re¬ sounded like the ringing of a bell, long-lost and forgotten. Every long while a few hurried foot¬ steps were heard at the far end of the corridor, and perhaps a door creaked noisily closed, each tiny sound echoing as if it were human, and breathing its last breath. Again came—silence, silence, silence! Oh, how much longer can it last? Death seemed so close, so very close. 1 arose, walked to the window, and peered out into the still, lonesome darkness beyond. 1 turned at last to realize again that only time could tell whether this was the beginning of eternity or the end of a living terror. Please, please, tell me! Suddenly an ambulance screeched, but for only a few min¬ utes, leaving again empty, monotonous silence! At last the long awaited footsteps approached me and 1 jumped up. eager to hear the verdict. “How is he. Doctor?” I inquired with breath¬ less anticipation. “Oh, he’s fine. Very well indeed. I think you will be able to take him home in a few days just as lively as ever,” was his self-assured reply. I heaved a sigh, an enormous sigh of relief, for my Tiny, my own little white mouse with the broken leg, was going to be alright! ELIZABETH MURRAY. 11C. THIRD PRIZE THE IMPORTANCE OF GOOD MANNERS In spite of what seems to be a popular attitude, good manners are important. Most people to-day (and I must confess, most teenagers are in¬ cluded), rank good manners along with cod- liver oil, as something forced on you in your defenceless youth, but which you violently refuse as soon as you are able. Good manners are not only for children but for everyone; they are the oil which keeps the wheels of the machine of society turning upon one another without friction. By good manners I mean, not rigid enforcement of the curtsying school of eticpiette. but thought for and pr otection of. others’ rights and con¬ venience. Good manners should be like old brogues, comfortable and familiar, not like satin slippers, used only on state occasions and even then rather painful. One glaring example of the lack of good manners in everyday life is often shown on our buses. My aged grandmother and I, riding a Detroit bus on a twenty mile trip, stood swaying from a pole like sailors in an Atlantic storm, while a stalwart youth kept his seat in front of us. When we had swayed, rocked and lurched over seventeen miles of highway, we reached the youth’s stop. He got up to leave, and. with a smile befitting Sir Walter Raleigh, gave up his seat—to me! This example of bad manners is an all too common one. .Men are not the only portion of humanity lack¬ ing appreciation of good manners, nor are the transit systems the only place this lack shows up. Women are great offenders as well. Girls seldom stand back or hold doors for older women: they seldom modulate their voices from less than an ear-splitting pitch in public places. For making- up. women consider any place an appropriate boudoir. One traveller in the United States, eat¬ ing at a restaurant, kept his temper while the woman next to him combed her hair, and applied her lipstick. Even he. however, thought it too much when, as she powdered her nose, a delicate film of powder settled on top of his soup. Exas¬ perated. he ordered hot water and proceeded to shave himself, to the great amusement of the other patrons. When the woman turned and saw him, she snatched up her bag and stalked out. Although the man’s action was drastic, at least it was effective, and lie certainly had just provocation. The boy and the woman are not isolated in¬ stances ; their actions are indicative of a general condition. In the mill race of modern life, the little niceties of behaviour have been discarded; good manners are felt to be unimportant. When people realize that good manners really are im¬ portant. the machine of society will start pro¬ ducing more harmony and happiness and less discord and strife. MARJORIE E. RODDY. 13B.

With tireless zeal and doing my best, 1 attack my studies and seldom rest: Dark and drear is History, And Algebra proves a mystery. Books piled high upon my desk. Ready to start with plenty of zest: I glare defiantly at temptation. In order to go into deep meditation. But as weak-willed saplings bend and sway. So my will wavered . . . sad to say; ‘‘There’s a good show on at the Centre to-night!” “No! No!” say I, “I must study with might.” But alas! alack! the tempter won; 1 simply couldn ' t resist the fun. Studies forgotten, I hurried away, My buddy and I at the show to stay. But woe! ah me! on the morrow morn. When exams loomed dark and the glamour was gone, 1 suddenly knew that to study was better Than face unprepared, exams in a flutter. So comrades fair, and comrades strong. Let my advice now pass along. If happy you’d be when exams are nigh. Yield not to your buddy . . .’t will pay by and by. ANNE MATHIESON 91). L—=-zl THIRD PRIZE ON BEING JILTED My heart has been embittered ’gainst A creature men call female; P’ver since my sweetheart dear Declared our love was stale. No more for me that maiden fair. Wh ose thoughts were to beguile; No more for me that pretty face. That thrilled me with its smile. My life will never be the same. Gay laughs cannot conceal The aching pain within my soul; For wounds of the heart don’t heal. Beware, you helpless, defenceless male. Before it comes to this. Don’t let them ever fool you, With one, deceiving kiss. Tread with care the paths of life, Or soon my fate you’ll share; And trip on one of the pitfalls. Caught in a woman’s snare. Never, never, no, nevermore! A slave will they make of me. Most cherished of all earthly things. For men, is to be free. And if we chance to meet some day; if thin and wan I be, Remember well, and never forget. A girl did this to me. ALBERT MATE 13A. HONOURABLE MENTION FAIRIES At night when l am tired. 1 go to sleep and dream, 1 dream about the fairies; They are so nice it seems. I dream they live in acorns And are as pretty as can be. Their dresses are all made of silk. And they sing and dance with glee. 1 like to dream they’re dancing: They dance so prettily; Their dainty dresses swinging As they sing so merrily. But when the fairies tire, Sparkling like a coloured jewel They climb back in their acorns. . . . And I get up for school. VICTORIA BECK IOC.. HONOURABLE MENTION POEM (?) 1 was asked to write a poem! That’s as funny as can be. ’Cause anyone that knows me knows 1 can’t write poetry. Now first I’ll say 1 like this school: It’s the finest of them all! The teachers and pupils are the best; So’s our principal Mr. Ball. And now that L have finished This wonderful piece of prose; You’ll take just one quick glance at it. And into the basket it goes. HELENE SCOTT 11C. 20 B L UK AN D W H I ' I ' E 19 4 9 CASTLES IN THE AIR “For 1 dipt into the future, far as human eye could see, “Saw a vision of the world, and all the wonder that would he; “Saw the heavens filled . . .” My eyes and thoughts, despite my earnest efforts, wandered from the droned memory- work. Through my window, a new Spring beck¬ oned me out to bask in her warm sunlight and breathe her perfumed air, using all her magic arts to cast a lazy spell on my mind. My errant thoughts drifted away, carrying me far forward into the future. . . Tall, crystal towers spiralled up into an azure blue sky; now and then a golden airship with a thin tail of flame flashed past to a distant goal. Around me strange, beautiful, silent people moved effortlessly on smooth pavements which sped along through the streets, and small tear¬ drop aircars floated over the roads. 1 allowed myself to follow the throng and saw many wonders in my wanderings. Great theatres were filled with spectators watching music upon a screen, music of colours, blending and changing constantly. In engine rooms, mighty dynamos created unimaginable power by breaking matter into energy. Underground factories were worked by metal robots controlled by one man at a switch-board and rollers turned the moving side¬ walks on which the civilization travelled. Lux¬ urious homes were situated high in the crystal buildings. Furnishings were of strange light materials unknown and undreamed of in the present and lighting as bright as the sun ran through tubes around the rooms. With the ease of a dreamer, 1 stole into one of the golden airships, and rose to dizzying heights above the city. In all directions, the populated area was spread, blocks of slender buildings interspersed with cultivated acres of parks and farms. Beyond the city was forest, unused land of which the people of the city civilization had no need, and beyond that was another city like the first. Far stranger than these marvels were the people who ruled this scientific and beautiful world. Relieved of the need for physical work by their robots, they were free to develop their minds fully for research into every realm of knowledge. 1 saw rooms full of these people, large-headed, strong-bodied, working n prob¬ lems so abstruse that I could not begin to fathom them. Alas, however, everything beautiful must come to an end. My dream castles were shattered and 1 was brought rudely back to reality, the present and my work by the shouts of a child outside the window. Spring still smiled in from without, but I went back to my poem with a bit more interest in what Tennyson meant by: “Saw a vision of the world, and all the wonder that would be.” JIM SNFDDFN. 13A. FIRST PRIZE ART — JERRY BROWN 13C GIRLS’ CHOIR that Walkerville will have a larger and even better orchestra. GIRLS’ CHOIR The 1948-49 season for the Girls’ Choir was a great success. At the Commencement in Decem¬ ber they presented the stirring “Prayer For To¬ day (Largo)” by Handel, and “My Heart is a Garden by Kurtz. To add to the spirit of Christ¬ mas, a lovely arrangement of “Silent Night” was sung. Under the capable direction of Miss Saunders, the choir was fortunate in being able to enter the Windsor Music Festival for Secondary Schools, on March 11. They sang the lilting Scotch folk¬ song. “Flowers O’ the Forest” by Jean Elliot: Beautiful Dreamer” by Stephen Foster: and gay “Blue Tail Fly,” an American folk song. CONCERT ORCHESTRA Under the direction of Mr. Brown, the concert orchestra has become one of the most active organizations in the school. A new idea was in¬ corporated in having the orchestra play a number as the pupils took their seats for our assemblies. It also opened every assembly by playing O Canada, Blue and White, and closed with the National Anthem. The members of the orchestra distinguished themselves with their selections at the special Armistice Day assembly and at Parents’ Night. At the Secondary School Music Festival on March 11, Marche Militaire by Schubert, Old South, and Tschaikowski’s Waltz of the Flowers, were performed exceptionally well. Plans are being made to provide for teaching various instruments during school periods, so 22 BLUE AN D W H 1 T F. 194 9 THE WINNERS! A. Alexander, Jr. Girls; L. Piazza, Sr. Girls; C. Burge, Sr. Boys; K. Culmage, Jr. Boys. PUBLIC SPEAKING Our heartiest congratulations to the winners and runners-up of the public speaking contests! These students gave up much of their valuable time to enter this worth while competition and bring honour to the school. Anne Alexander was the winner of the Junior Girls’ speaking contest. She gave a very interest¬ ing prepared speech entitled “Travelling Th rough Space” and chose as her impromptu “Our Neighbours.” We hope Anne will continue her public speaking and enter senior competition. Ken Du Image was the winner of the Junior Hoys’ contest. Ken deserves special mention, lie won the speaking first in Walkerville, then for the city, and went to Sarnia where he won again. Later in London, Ken placed second in the W.O.S.S.A. We are very proud of Ken and he shows great promise. His prepared speech was “The Greatest Invention in the Last Hundred Years” (and he spoke on radio). Lola Piazza chose “I am Your Paperboy” as her interesting impromptu and for her prepared speech, gave a verv fine talk on “Things I Hate in Radio.” Charlie Burge was the Senior Hoys’ champion in the school. He chose an unusual topic. Swed¬ en’s Part in World War Two” and handled it very well. His impromptu was “Travelling Around the World.” Many thanks to you winners for showing such fine talent. Walkerville is proud of you. KATHERINE PIERCE. DEBATING CLUB This year under the capable leadership of Mr. Bull, debating was revived again among the senior boys. Every second Monday, the boys met in Mr. Hull’s room and spoke with enthusiasm on various interesting subjects. Following each debate a discussion was held with the audience on the same subject. This venture being fairly successful, it is planned to enter a team in com¬ petition next year. Some of those taking part in the debates were: I). Klrix. ]. Snedden. J. Hatters. A. Torrigan. H. Taylor. K. Dresser. A. Mate, D. Forsyth, I). Enkin, I). Hunnisett. R. Steven¬ son. C. Anderson and R. Haines. CHESS CLUB Chess in W.C.I. is finally getting a foothold as an ideal hobby for the students. Mr. Burr, the secretary-treasurer of the club, has been a great help in arranging and drawing up the schedules. At present there are two tournaments being played in the school. Bob Morris leads the senior tournament and John Hutchinson is winning in the junior division. There are approximately twenty boys participating in these ' contests. Hob Morris, president of the club, was pleased to have so many players from Grade nine this year and he feels sure that from now on, Walker¬ ville will have a strong chess club. VISITORS’ NIGHT On February 8. Walkerville held its annual Visitors’ Night. Mr. Brown and his ever-popular orchestra entertained the parents and students before the address of welcome was given by Mr. Ball. Mr. Rrown, as Guidance Instructor, then spoke to the audience concerning the factors necessary in choosing a suitable career. After the programme in the auditorium, the pupils showed their parents to the various classrooms and intro¬ duced them to the teachers. It was felt by all that it was a very successful evening, so. don’t forget to visit the school on Visitors’ Night next year. DANCE ORCHESTRA The dance orchestra was composed of fine musicians who developed into a single smooth¬ functioning group. Mr. Brown gave much of his time and energy to manage and direct both orchestras. A great deal of credit should go to the students who faithfully attended the long practices. Music was provided at a tea dance to raise funds for buying musical instruments for the concert orchestra. The orchestra also played at the Graduation Dance. Second Prize Art Mary C.

Sally Davits and Cam Anderson were chosen as Head Girl and Head Boy. with Kathryn Brick and Ron Eden as assistants. The monitors were all the students of Grade 13. Three boys, three girls and one teacher had charge each week and a monitor’s court was set up to judge “the noon criminal cases.” Don’t be alarmed if you see a fifth- former lurking in the halls with a wicked gleam in his eye and a club behind his back. He’s just a monitor! ASSEMBLIES The general opinion is that the school assem¬ blies this year have been better than before, be¬ cause the students themselves have arranged the programmes. Under Mr. Bull’s guidance, each class has put on one assembly to be judged for originality, number taking part and interest; but as yet the winning class has not been announced. Most of these assemblies have been good enter¬ tainment and a credit to the imagination of our students. How can we ever forget that minstrel show, the Shakespeare scene or the square dance —and say, just who was the Santa Claus in the Christmas programme? This year the assemblies have been run on a regular pattern: syncopating music by our or- chestra-to-beat-al 1-orchestras, National Anthem. School Song, Announcements, two well-known songs, class entertainment and O Canada. Lets keep our assemblies at this high standard and next year we will look forward even more eagerly to “ninth period every other Friday.” THE ART CLUB Our collegiate’s newest organization, the Art Club, this year finishes its second year with a feeling of having justified its existence and of being firmly established as a necessary part of school life. During the year, posters were made for nearly every other school organization under the supervision of the Honorary President. Miss Auld. the President, Jerry Brown, the Vice- President, Jim Snedden, the Secretary, Lotini Richardson, and the Advisor, Don Richard. We wish the Art Club continued success, and hope it will enlarge its scope as the years go by. for it gives opportunity and valuable training in a very fascinating and important field of education to anyone at all interested in art work. WELCOME BACK MR. BULL! We missed him during his year’s absence from W.C.I. and we are glad to have him with us again. May we express our thanks and appreci¬ ation to Mr. Bull who so freely gave his time and effort for the betterment of the school and enjoyment of the students. He led cheers (re¬ member that football game?), he called for square dances, he led singing for the assemblies, gave rousing pep talks before games, and generally raised the school spirit with his enthusiasm. How much time has Mr. Bull donated for the develop¬ ment of public speakers and debaters in this school? Last but not least, he has raised the standard of the assemblies, which now assume an important part in the life of the school. It is unfortunate that there is onlv one Mr. Bull! 24 BLUE AND WHITE 1949 THE AGORA Back Row: W. Collins. J. Francom, J. Snedden. D. Elrix, S. Koladich, T. Ginter, S. Radin. Centre Row: D. Moore, C.

THE AGORA The Agora, which is the Student Council of W.C.I. has been very successful in its under¬ takings this year. Much of the success is due to the worthy officers heading this year’s organ¬ ization. This year’s officers were: Mr. Ball, Honorary President; Mary Morris. President; Cam Anderson, Vice-President; Mary Lou Boit- tette. Secretary; (later Sally Dayus was elected secretary when Mary Lou left the school); Mr. Hartford. Treasurer; Richard Stevenson, Fin¬ ancial Chairman : Kathryn Brick. Publicity Chair¬ man ; and Anne Taylor. Social Chairman. A great deal of time was spent by Mr. Waddell, Mr. Hartford, Richard Stevenson and the Fin¬ ancial Committee in making the sale of Christmas cards a success. The Agora purchased athletic crests, and grad¬ uation pins for the sc hool: they have kept up the J. L. McNaughton Scholarship Fund; and sent the volley-ball and soccer teams to London: they sponsored the Commencement Dance, and a couple of tea dances, as well as something new— a free dance held at noon with music by records. The Agora sponsored two very successful dances, the annual “Gamblers’ Gambol” and the first “Walkerville Whirl”—a roundabout held during the Christmas holidays. Much of the credit for the success of these two dances should go to Anne Taylor and her committee for the excellent work they have done in planning and decorating the gym. As in previous years, the Agora is ready to con¬ sider any ideas advanced by the students. We would like to thank the teachers who have helped so cheerfully, especially Mr. Hartford; and every¬ one who has made the Agora a success. “VOTE FOR ELRIX BACKSTAGE ASSISTANTS Back Row: J. Muir, J.

Francom R. Stevenson. M. Miller L. Richardson, C. Anderson, B. MacMillan, G. Cumming M. Thatcher DRAMATIC SOCIETY The officers for this year’s society were: Hon¬ orary President—Mr. Bull; President—Cam An¬ derson; Vice President—Sylvia Robb; Secretary —Jane Guest; Treasurer—Miss Robbins; Prop¬ erty Mistress—Ruth Kells; Stage Manager— Richard Stevenson. The Dramatic Society presented only one play this year, it was a three-act comedy entitled “Hasty Pudding” and was presented February 23. 24. and 25. The play was entered in the W.S.S.A. Drama Festival and was adjudicated by Mr. James Benton of the Windsor Civic Play¬ ers. Many compliments were given for the excel¬ lent directing of Miss Robbins and Miss Hart¬ mann and the unusual acting abilities of the cast. Awards were presented to Gordon Cumming. Barbara MacMillan and Marilyn Miller forgiving their difficult roles such feeling. Gordon played Thomas Snipe, an easygoing innkeeper in an English tavern about 1780. Barbara as Prudence Snipe, his wife, showed temper tantrums and sweet dispositions with equal grace. Marilyn, as Sherry Snipe, the daughter, was full of tricks to snare Lord Castletower and played her difficult part very well. The rest of the cast included the following: Mary Thatcher as Lady Castletower captivated the audience with her very humorous portrayal of a scatterbrained lady pretending dignity. Cam Anderson was excellent in the part of Lord Castletower. her son, a rather frustrated but elegant nobleman who was stumped by the actions of Sherry and Lady Jane. Lonni Richard¬ son played Lady Jane Humphries and acted very well the part of the daughter of old English no¬ bility. Richard Stevenson was Kit Morgan, the dashing highwayman, (with his swinging cloak, mustache and all). It took Jim Francom, as Timothy Turnstile, the stable boy. to steal the show—with only seven lines of dialogue! The cast had a good laugh at first rehearsal when Jim came running on stage shouting “Pleat ma’am . . . It’s murder, tieves!” . . . his lines learned perfectly! Much hard work as well as a lot of enjoyment went into the production of the play and the cast misses those supper hour intermissions at prac¬ tice. Cordon’s piano-playing, the antics of Jim and Richard and Cam’s struggling with his wig. Everyone appreciated very much Miss Robbin’s cookies and the treats of Mr. Ernest Creed, who worked very hard and patiently with the cast— both in directing and in making-up the actors, with the assistance of his son Mr. Jack Creed. Very important to the success of the play was the backstage crew—who shared in the work and fun as well. Helpful with the curtains and doing a thousand other things, was Jim Snedden as stage manager, ably assisted by Jim Muir. Paul Mansfield and David Elrix and Jack Garswood who took care of lighting. Barbara Tait was the prompter who sat at the far end of the counter hoping Jim wouldn’t bring the curtain back too far! Running around very efficiently locating revolvers and sewing baskets, were the hard¬ working property girls. Ruth Kells and Jane Guest. ' I ' lie cast also appreciated the work of Miss Bergoine with tickets, Mr. Krause, Mr. Lowden and Mr. Sinclair who worked at the box office. Miss Auld and those who helped with the art work, the officers who ushered and Tony Ginter and Val Prymak who played violin selections be¬ fore the play began.

There on the parade ground, leading the military parade, marched a smart and snappy bugle band, clad in bright scarlet tunics and swinging kilts. Looking at the bandsmen’s shoulder tabs you would have found that they bore the words “Walkerville Collegiate.” This is just one of the ways in which the fame of W.C.I. and Cadet Corps No. 1086 has spread. Through hard work, discipline, and spirit, our cadet corps has reached the top and stayed there. In this brief space we would like to pay tribute to just a few of those who have given their time for their school and corps and have been so successful in their endeavours. Naturally, the men on whom our corps has its foundation are the cadet instructors. Headed by Mr. O’Mrien, many of our teachers have given up much of their time to take over the instruction of such units as the band, the officers, the signal corps, ambulance, shooting, the colour party and above all the training of the rest of the corps during regular P.T. periods. (These last are extremely important, for although the former units may add to the smartness of the corps, it is the marching and discipline of the main body of cadets that makes our corps what it is.) We, the cadets, would like to thank these instructors, and we wish them the best of luck, for it is in their hands that the future of Walkerville’s corps lies. As mentioned before, Walkerville’s bugle band has obtained much notice of late. Besides being chosen to lead the military parade at the C.N.E. of 1948. it also performed for the crowd at the alkerville-Assumption football game. It was in fine form and gave a very excellent perform¬ ance of both playing and marching, climaxing the show with the formation of a “W” and an “A.” Still later last fall, (in November to be more exact), the bandsmen marched in the Santa Claus parade, accompanied by their pint-sized mascot, Ronnie Longmuir. This year’s bugle band has done a lot of work and deserves a lot of credit. Led by Cadet Lt. Bob Martin, it has 36 members at present and is growing in size steadily. As well as this bugle band. Cadet Lt. Bill MacMillan leads a small but smart pipe band. Though not as much has been seen of it as of the bugle band, the tartan- clad pipers give Walkerville real distinction on inspection day. One of the most successful of the past year’s activities was shooting. Mr. Bunt and his rifle¬ men have shown themselves to be among the best in Canada during competition. Last spring, they carried off the Dominion Championship in the Royal Military College competition. The team average was 98.4 and the high scorers were Joe Dulvick and John Pearce, each of whom turned in perfect targets of 100. In the fall, Fred Joyce with a score of 100 led his team-mates to CADET LT.-COL. F. JOYCE Officer Commanding 1948-49 J 32 BLUE A X I WHITE 1949 the Ontario Rifle Association Championship. The results for this spring’s competitions are not yet in, but since the team has an average of 9 7 ' on D.C.R.A. and 9 7,V7 in the Provincial Compe¬ tition they should place high in the standings. During the past year the outstanding riflemen in the school were Fred Joyce who won the Lord Strathcona Medal for being the best shot in the school, George Pavelich who won the Major McLean Trophy for being the best junior shot in the school, and Ian Main who won a special D.C.R.A. Medal. Every cadet in the school has a chance to fire recreational targets for the Dominion Marksmen Badges. Five targets of 75 or over qualify a cadet for a P ' irst Class Badge, ten targets of 90 or over give him a Marksman Badge, and ten targets of 95 or better make him an Expert. These badges are new this year and have aroused quite some interest in shooting. Last year the signal corps, led by Cadet Maj. Jack Col will and Cadet Lts. Bill Card and Jack Batters again did credit to both themselves and the school: first by putting on an excellent demonstration on inspection, and then by win¬ ning the Moyer Cup. It has become almost a habit for Walkerville cadets to win this trophy and it is greatly to their honour, for most of the signal classes last year were instructed by mem¬ bers of the Moyer Cup Team who were, of course, under the guiding hand of Mr. Forman. Unfor¬ tunately. Mr. Forman left the school this year, but the signal corps has found a new and capable instructor in the person of Mr. Brown, lie intends to enter a team in the Moyer Cup Competition this year and we wish him and his signallers the best of luck. (fur growing first aid class under Cadet Capt. Cam Anderson and Cadet Lt. Ed Rawling also put on a good show on inspection last year. Their able instructor is Mr. W. Young who this year has a class of 19 Juniors. 29 seniors, 9 Vouchers, 9 Medallions and 2 Labels. This is the largest number of Medallions that a alkerville first aid corps has ever tried for. The Walkerville cadets who went to camp last summer showed the metal they were made of by winning the touch football championship and by having the best shot in B Company (Fred Joyce). Unfortunately, last year’s inspection was a slight disappointment due to bad weather. At the last moment it was decided that it should be held in the Armouries, and this meant a lot of last minute changes which took away from the efficiency of the corps. All the cadets, however, tried hard and put on a good showing despite the difficulties. After close competition. Cadet Maj. Hugh Thomson was awarded the MacMillan Trophy on behalf of C Company which was the best company on parade. Cadet Bandsman Bob Morris received the Bryn Davies Memorial Trophy which is awarded to the outstanding cadet on inspection day. The plans for this year’s inspection all indicate that it will be the best Walkerville has ever had. It is to be held at night under the floodlights, and will also include some special demonstrations. A Company is preparing arms drill which will be done to pipe music with no commands being given. C Company is also planning something different, for it will hold a mock-battle which certainly will be impressive. Another section of cadets will be giving a demonstration on 6-pound¬ ers. All the special training for this inspection will be the first of its type that has ever been given at Walkerville. As you can see. it looks as if our cadet corps can really go places in the future if we get behind it. and so now we would like to carry a last mes¬ sage of encouragement from our ().C. of last year. Lt.-Col. John MacLachlan. Walkerville may be justly proud of John for lie is now attend¬ ing the Royal Military College and was chosen to lead the R.M.C. Precision Squad in compe¬ tition with Royal Roads. The following is the message which John has sent to this year’s cadets: I wish to express my thanks to Mr. Ball and Colonel O’Brien whose understanding, enthusi¬ astic support and guidance have done so much to put Walkerville Collegiate Institute in the envi¬ able position which she holds. My sincere thanks also to my able second in command. Basil Steven¬ son, who stood with me every step of the way. in the past year. “It was with great regret that my association with the Walkerville Collegiate Cadet Corps came to an end, for it was in this corps that I first experienced responsibility, discipline, and the need for co-operation. “The lessons which we learned in our school days—and especially on our parade ground—les¬ sons in co-operation, team work, forebearance and discipline will stand us in good stead after we leave the sheltering walls of Walkerville. “Through many years, and only with much effort has the Cadet Corps grown. Our thanks should go out to our predecessors for their con¬ tributions. Let us not weary but go on from strength to greater strength. On each of us sons of Walkerville devolves the task of carrying high the torch so that her name may continue to grow in brilliance. Her fame has rightly spread. Her name commands respect and attention. This reputation is due to the graduates who have passed through her portals. Let us do our part to carry on this tradition. “Our close affiliation with the Essex Scottish Regiment is a fact which should make all of you feel very proud. Conduct yourselves in such a way that her officers may be proud of you! “I know you will all extend to my successor. Lt.-Col. Joyce, vour loyal support. “Best of luck in your endeavours, and may your aim always be perfection.” (Signed) John MacLachlan.

COLLEGIATE HUMOUR??? In tlit- parlour there were three. He. the parlour lamp, and she: Now three ' s a crowd without a doubt, And so the parlour lamp went out. At an evening party. Bob Bell, honour student in Physics, was chatting with a pretty young maiden. You know. 1 sometimes feel ashamed of my failure to keep abreast in some of my Physics, he said. “Take the electric light, for example—1 must confess I haven ' t the least idea how it works.” The pretty young thing gave him a patronizing smile. Why it ' s very simple, really. she replied. “You just turn a switch and the light comes on. That ' s all there is to it.” That’s a nice suit you have on; do you mind my asking how much you paid for it? asked Steve V. “Not at all: a hundred and ten dollars, replied Bill M. Don’t you think that ' s quite a lot? You must have been crazy.” Oh. 1 don ' t know. I got nine pairs of pants with it.” Pat: A little bird told me I was going to pass in French. Betty: It must have been a little cuckoo. Confucius say: Wash face in morning, neck at night. M iss Hutchinson: Paraphrase the sentence—“He was hent on seeing her.” Jim: “The sight of her doubled him up. Foster Hutton: 1 write an essay in one hour and think nothing of it. Miss McLaren: 1 share your opinion. Did you cut your hair shorter? No. I washed it and it shrank. Voice on phone: John Corr is sick and cannot come to class today. He requested me to notify you. Betty: All right. Who is this speaking? Voice: This is my roommate. Generally speaking, women are. Are what? Generally speaking.

BLUE AND W H I T E 194 9 41 IOC 1 would like you to take a little walk with me in this city. This walk will he different from most walks you have taken as we will be walking in the future, not the present. The year is 1958. We will start our walk on Windsor’s main street. As we walk down Ouellette Aven¬ ue. we take a peck into the new seventy-three story C. H. Smith Store. We sec Olive J homas, Babs Whitehead and Craig working hard in the notions department. The head department manager is no one else but Alex Moodrcy who in the year 1949 showed the IOC class that he had the mind of a business man. A little farther down the street on the Palace Theatre marquee, we sec that the famous, glamorous movie actress Edith Weir, is starring in an inspiring movie, written, directed and produced by Johnny Romanchuk, the multimillionaire. Across the street in the world s largest drug store wc see the head pharmacist Fred Balkwill, filling out a prescription for Joan Shiells, who always seems to he sick. A little farther down the street wc shake hands with Windsor ' s first woman mayor. Marilyn Miller, who has just stepped out of her new Nicol Convertible made hv tin Nicol Motor Car Company of Canada. Limited. We pick up a newspaper from the newsboy, Roy Steel, and find out from tlie front page that Sir Jack Grade bas been made chief advisor to the king, who is Prince Charles (son of Princess Elizabeth). In this same paper, but on page three, wc find out that Molly Leith has made her third successful journey to the moon. As wc pass the residential area of town we see that Violet Majnaric has married an Australian, because in hack of their domicile there is a kang¬ aroo, which was tamed by the great circus performers Mike Papich and Robert Gale. We also see John Bake pushing a baby buggy down the street. We arc now in the vicinty of W.C.I. As we walk down these familiar halls, wc peek into the Latin class where we see that Donna Harrison is teaching a class of forty wide-eyed students. Carol McDougall is also teaching in one of the new French rooms which is situated in the new wing of the school. The two teachers of Physical Train¬ ing look familiar. Oh yes, of course! They are Mac Yakovlev and Bill Schauwccker. In the first row of the French class we see that Mr. Klinck is still hope¬ lessly trying to pound French into the heads of Joan Shaw, John Sleziak. and Helen Jarecki. The same thing is happening in the Math class with Jean Edwards. Elizabeth Btuld anil Mary Love. We take a peek into the newspaper again and we find that Craig Allan has been given a ten year contract as a comedian with the Boh Hope Programme. On the society page we see that Doreen. Jacqueline, and Ethel have become prominent debutantes in New York. What about me, you ask? Don ' t you remember? You bought some peanuts from me only half an hour ago! DOUGLAS KOVACK, IOC.

Whereas of this date, and on any other day for that matter, I proclaim that social functions play a vital part in moulding the characters of the students. Walkerville Social Crier! As the first assembly of the year closed last September, there was a great scurry to exchange cheery greetings with old classmates, but many of these familiar faces were missing. The educational year began to buzz along quickly, but not as quickly as the whirl of the social circle. Walkerville social functions were significantly introduced in the first weeks of October. We had barely settled down to our studies when three successful tea dances bore down on us. The first was held in the gym by our cadet officers. The Oirls’ Athletic Society then staged another dance in the form of a roundabout. This gave the girls their opportunity to approach the members of the football team for a dance. A third tea dance was sponsored by the orchestra and the dancers listened to the talent of their school. As old Mr. November peeked around the cor¬ ner. he saw excited girls casting meaningful glances at their heroes. Poor old Mr. November had to stop for a few minutes to decode these unspoken messages. Then it dawned on him that on the twelfth day of his reign the very popular Gamblers’ Gambol was to be held in the school gymnasium. Soon the eventful day arrived. The gym looked just as it should have, with dice, cards and all the significant decorations that the Social Committee of the Agora could think of. A great success as usual, the dance was the topic of conversation for many weeks. Unfortunately, certain unforgettable old demons were creeping up on us in the form of examinations and social activities were suspended until Commencement Night in December, when our graduates returned to receive their diplomas and pins. After the exercises and the heart¬ warming valedictory, the graduates and their friends went up to the gym to dance and get acquainted again. Winter having arrived in all its glory (minus snow), many students ate their lunch at school and appreciated very much the movies that were shown in the auditorium from 12:30 to 1 :00. At last the winter roundabout dance promised to us. was held on December 29, during the Christmas holidays. The “Walkerville hirl was such a success that it is to become an annual affair. Traditional mistletoe, holly and poinsettia sketches were placed in prominent spots and dominating the scene was a bigger than life-size, sparkly snowman. For the second year, the Girls’ Athletic Associ¬ ation successfully staged their fashion show with the co-operation of the C. H. Smith Company. They chose the first day of March for the twelve lovely models to show the latest in Windsor fashions. I know you could practically guess which girls were chosen for the models but just in case you can’t, they were Lonni Richardson, Marilyn Miller. Eden Lancaster, Cecile Jacques. Sandra Heffernan. Lorraine Duffin, Carol Davies. BLUE A N 1) W H I T E 194 9 43 Marion Colvin, Mary Cameron, Mary Lou Bou- tette, Helen Ash and Jean Andrews. The com¬ mentator was Miss Joan Sparrow, a former W.CL. student and according to her. the trend this spring is towards all hues of blue. Just before the Raster exams, a tea dance was held at noon with admission by Agora cards (and of course the gym was crowded). After the exams, there was another roundabout tea dance in aid of the J. L. McNaughton Scholarship Fund. Again something new was introduced after much discussion—a square dance with an old- time orchestra and Mr. Bull calling the squares. Everyone had a wonderful time and the cry went up at the end of the dance, “Let’s have more square dances!” How about it Mr. Bull? Think we could do it again? As always the Military Hall is the most popular Walkerville dance and every school girl dreams of becoming the most beautiful and charming young lady at the Ball. This year it is being held on Friday May 20th. and here ' s hoping you all have a good time. Happy Holidays! KATHRYN and JOYCE. STREET SCENE In the pounding on the pavement Of the busy city street.

BLUE AND WHITE I ' M9 45 CONGRATULATIONS GIRLS’ SWIMMING TEAM! Walkerville is very proud of its Girls ' Swimming Team, which this year won both the Junior and Senior Championships for the city. To quote the Star: In girls ' competition. Walkerville’s fair lassies scored a clean sweep of the title honours.” The seniors earned 25 points and the juniors scored 25 points. Frances Burns earned the title of senior girls ' indi¬ vidual champion by placing first in two races to win HI points. Another Walkervillc senior. Janet Barnby, won an individual championship, placing fourth with 5 points. We are also very proud of Janet Caza who won the junior girls ' individual championship by placing first in two races and winning 10 points. In the senior girls ' events, Carol Davies was second by a very close score in diving, Janet Barnby came third in style swimming and won the 40-yard back stroke, Frances Burns won the 40-yard free style, and the 40- yard breast stroke, and the Walkervillc senior relay team, consisting of Janet Barnby, Marion Brough, Frances Burns and Carol Davies, won first place easily. It certainly was a thrill for all W.C.I. supporters to see the girls doing so well. In the junior girls ' competitions, Eileen Peterson won the diving exhibition, Beverly Mothcrsill came third in the style swimming, Janet Caza won the 40-yard free style, and the 40-vard breast stroke. Katherine Morris was second in the 40-yard hack stroke, the Grade 9 relay, consisting of Lily Madded, Elizabeth Stewart, Maurine Assef and Katherine Scott, placed second and the Grade HI relay team, made up of June Augustine, Anne Whelpton, Barbara Whitehead and Audrey Boyd, in the 80-yard relay race, broke a record to bring more honours to Walkervillc. All these champions worked very hard to cop these honours and their coaches, Miss Saunders and Mrs. Todgham, are very proud of them. As Miss Saunders said when the trophies were presented the next day. “If there had been more trophies, we would have won them too.” VOLLEYBALL TEAM W.O.S.S.A. CHAMPS! Our senior volleyball team certainly brought fame to W.C.I. this year. The girls not only sailed right through and heat all the Windsor teams, but went right ahead to Beal Tech in London and beat the London Central and Stratford teams, gaining renown for themselves by winning the W.O.S.S.A. Championship. Congratulations girls! The Champs were: Jackie Damashe (captain), Poppy Mouzas, Betty Marsh, Jean Chalmers, Irene Spakowski. June Palmer. Joan Love, F.vangeline Parker. Donna Chapman, Alice Sargent, Frances Burns, Dorothy Lawton, and Sally Darns. Manager of the team was Anne Vermeer. It should he mentioned also that Margaret Martin was the very competent referee for all the Windsor games. The team really appreciated the help of Miss Saunders and the teachers who drove them to London. BOWLING The girls elected Peggy Stewart to look after bowling. Peggy, being a very good bowler herself, takes an inter¬ est in this sport and lias proved by keeping the girls well-informed of their weekly scores and averages, that she is a very capable leader. This year there were 32 bowlers making up 8 teams. Each girl bowled 20 games over a period of HI weeks. Our high bowler of the season was Lee Smith with an average of 155. Peggy Stewart was runner-up with an average of 140. The winner of the high single and high double was Sigrid Larson. The winning team was made up of Barbara Miller (captain), Helen Bell. Claire Ryan, Rita Siry. The team placing second consisted of Shirley Reid (captain), Marilyn Smith, Dorothy Patterson, Peggy Stewart. City Champions Standing: Miss O. Saunders, M. Brough, J. Barnby.

The tsirls who make up the executive of the Girls ' Athletic Association were chosen by ballot by the girls of our school in September. These girls meet once a month to discuss ways of making money and general things pertaining to the welfare of the girls’ sports in our school. Mrs. Todgham and Miss Saunders are present at these meetings to offer any needed advice. This year a roundabout tea dance and a Fashion Show were sponsored by the G.A.A. and they were both very successful. Each girl on the executive takes her job seriously and looks after her individual sport very well. President Janet Barnby Vice-President . Sally Dayu ' s Secretary Jackie Damashe HOUSE LEAGUE BASKETBALL CHAMPS. Cl BASEBALL Poppy Mouzas was elected to look after baseball. Poppy is an ardent player herself and therefore one can easily see that our girls’ baseball will be well taken care of. Because of bad weather last fall, there were no baseball activities. TRACK The track representative in the G.A.A. is Helen Nesterowski. Helen is a hard-working girl who takes an interest in her work and is one of our track champs herself. Because of bad weather last fall, there was no track meet. INTERFORM VOLLEYBALL Mary Cameron is the volleyball representative in the G.A.A. Mary drew up schedules, kept the games going and therefore showed an interest in her job and she did her job well. Schedules were drawn up for games to be played by the junior and senior groups. The girls in 12D were the Senior champions and the girls in Cl were the Junior champs. In the final game between 121) and Cl. Cl emerged as the school champions. 48 BLUE AND WHITE 1949 WA LKERVILLE PAINT and WALLPAPER SUPPLY 1928 Wyandotte St. E. Coulter Coal Co.

BADMINTON W itli yearly memberships and pay-as-you-plav dues, the Badminton Club enjoyed a year of successful play. Many thanks must be given to the teachers who freely gave their time on Saturday afternoons and for the use of the school gym. Four boys entered the inter-school tournament held at H.M.C.S. Hunter but were elimin¬ ated. Some of those who played at the school were: Mary Morris, .lean Fairley. Mary Catherine Young, Joan Stanley. Barbara Whitehead, Elizabeth Budd, Kd Woods.

BOYS’ TENNIS In the fall of 1948, the Windsor Secondary High Schools held their annual tennis tournament at Jackson Park Tennis Club. Walkerville boys took full honours in both singles and doubles. In the boys’ singles, with a good turnout from all high schools, Walk¬ erville alone was left in the semi¬ finals and finals. Stuart Musgrave defeated Hugh Morris for the singles championship after a close match, the scores being 6-2. 6-3. In the boys ' doubles. Stuart Mus¬ grave and Hugh Morris won the doubles crown by defeating a Ken¬ nedy team in the finals, the scores being close. In the future, it is hoped that this annual tennis tournament will cre¬ ate more enthusiasm for tennis among the W.C.I. sport fans. BASKETBALL Alice Sargent looked after interform basketball and was on the interschool team. Alice did a good job in looking after all the interform games and records, and on the whole managed her job with enthusiasm. Regarding the interform activities, there were 26 teams in the League and the schedule ran from January 5 to March 13. Phis League was divided into Junior and Senior groups. 11A came out on top in the Senior group and Cl was the winner in the Junior group. The Junior champions (Cl) won the final game and finished as champions of the school. The Cl team consisted of: Eileen Peterson. Janet Caza, Mitzie asic, Emily Dzambak, Margaret Bradley, Joyge Neave. Doreen Webb, Florence Platt. Ivy Russell, Joy Marwood and Pat Joyce. The interschool team, on the other hand, was rather unfortunate itt that the girls managed to win only 3 games. These were against Kennedy. Riverside and St. Joseph ' s. Worthy of particular mention is the game with Riverside at which our W.C.I. girls were the victors with the astounding score of 45-0. The manager of the team. Kathryn Brick, and the coach. Mrs. Todgham. certainly did a great job and did a lot to keep the girls’ spirits tip. The team consisted of: Poppy Mouzas (captain)— centre forward, Jean Chalmers—right forward. Shirley Reid—left forward, Betty Marsh—centre guard, Jackie Daniashe—right guard, and Alice Sargent—left guard. Alternates were: Joan Love, Anne Sudar, Irene Spa- kowski, June Palmer, Frances Burns. Dorothv Lawton, and Lynn Munro. HOUSE LEAGUE VOLLEYBALL CHAMPS, Cl Graduates: Secondary School graduation is your first real achievement in your climb to success.

WalkerviUe. the only team to come close to defeating Lowe Vocational in two sea¬ sons. first held that team to a three-all tie and barely lost in their second meeting 4-3. The first team consisted of K. Cooper in goal; M. Lynn and Y. Moulton (a pretty tough pair on opposing forwards), defence: 1). Allison, centre;.R. McBride, right wing: and E. Shamess, left wing. The second team consisted of G. Carruthers and Spakowski, defence; S. Vorkapich at centre: J. Daniels, right wing; and E. Cherniak, left wing. Other members of the team were: VV. I re, sub-goalie: R.

During the regular schedul e, WalkerviUe won over Patterson. 3-0; Sandwich. 5-1: lost to Assumption. 4-1; blanked Patterson again. 6-0; defeated Sandwich, 7-2; lost to Kennedy. 3-1; tied Lowe Vocational, 3-3; edged Assumption, 3-2, ami then were edged by Vocational. 4-3. to end up in third place with 11 points. Vocational and Kennedy copped first and second place with 19 and 16 points respectively. The last play-off berth was luckily won by Patterson with 8 points. In the play-offs. WalkerviUe shaded 6-5, then lost 6-2. Vocational took care of Kennedy in the finals to win the W.S.S.A. championship and have gone on since to win the Ontario championship. Once again a victorious alkerville Soccer 1 earn lias captured the .O.S.S.A. championship, I his is the third time in four years. Of course most of the credit goes to that prophetic gentleman with a smile in his heart and the devil in his voice, Mr. Y. Young, who was the coach of the team. Many a night Mr. Young could he seen running around the campus with the boys, constantly drilling them on expert kicking, corner shots and how not to play soccer. The team played four games in the city league and won all four. They defeated Kennedy 4 to (I. Patterson 3 to 0. Vocational 1 to 0 and Riverside 4 to 1. In the W.O.S.S.A. semi-finals at London. WalkerviUe defeated Chatham V ocational 1 to 0, with the only goal scored by D. Allison. Then they went into the W.O.S.S.A. finals against London Beal Technical school. Ibis game WalkerviUe won by the score of 2 to 0. The goals were scored by E. Rost and J. V elsh. Mr. Young carried eighteen men this year and fifteen went to London for the W.O.S.S.A. play-offs. At the end of the season WalkerviUe had scored 15 goals to the one goal scored against them. This was an excellent showing and every member of the team was worthy of the honour accorded him. The interesting fact is that, throughout the entire season, Mr. V oung never had a complete practice with everybody out. Something else that the team will never forget is the game we played against Vocational. That night it poured rain, the soccer field looked like a swimming pool and the team almost drowned. During the entire season all the players showed a fine spirit of co-operation and a strong determination to win. With such a combination, we could not lose. The line-up was in the following positions; D. Long— goal, M. Vorkapich—right hack. G. Robinson—left hack, Captain A. Inchowich—centre half. C. Vorkapich—right half, G. Puioll—left half. D. Allison—centre forward, E. Rose—forward, J. Welsh—forward. T. Echlin—out¬ side right, C. Neilson—outside left, G. Micklea—spare forward, B. Rapinchuk—spare forward. R. Allen—spare forward. R. Cooke—spare forward, W. Suboch—spare half, P. Mansfield—spare half, and B. Bell—spare half. HOCKEY TEAM Standing: Mr. H. Klinck. R. McBride. R. Martin, N. Allison H. Paddison. J. Daniels. S.

FOOTBALL The football team of 1948 would like to thank the two fine coaches—Mr. Allison and Mr. Bunt, for the many hours of hard work and anxious bench-warming. Al¬ though Walkerville was not the champ of the city, every boy on the team from the star player to the water boy was proud to be a member of the Tartan football team. We hit Sandwich Collegiate first in an exhibition game and came home victorious 3-0. On Oct. 1. we fought the Patterson Panthers, losing 20-6. It was tough losing our first game, but this didn’t Stop us. On Oct. 12, we came galloping hack to smack the Rough Riders from Tech with a 12-9 victory. Still high spirited, we marched against the Sandwich Spartans the following Friday. It was a rough game, but we were cheered with a 3-0 victory. N ' ext we sailed into the Kennedy Clippers, losing by a small margin 7-6. Then we clashed with the Purple Raiders of Assumption, but ill-fate ruled us with a score of 17-7. But still hope was not gone, since we were to play Kennedy for a play-off position. On Nov. 21, the mighty Tartans once again carried the pigskin into battle. It was a long drawn-out game, and the score at half time was 1-1, hut unfortunately. Kennedy sharpened up and won by 9-1. This meant the close of another football season and for some it was their last game.

Considering that they had no practice, this was a very good showing. The members of the team were Hugh Morris, with a score of 87, Boh Haydon—96, Ian Main—98 and John Douglas—115. BOYS ' SWIMMING Walkervillc, for the second con¬ secutive year, won the combined Boys’ Championship by six points. For group championships, the Sen¬ iors were squeezed out by Assump¬ tion, and the Juniors by Kennedy. John Douglas was runner-up for the Individual Senior Championship, and Jim Glinski was tied with two other boys from Kennedy for the Junior. The coaches, Mr. Nighs- wander and Mr. Waddell, and the trainer. Dave Knkin, spent con¬ siderable time moulding this fine team. For the Seniors, Chuck Vcrnes won the diving; John Douglas easi¬ ly won the 40-vard hack stroke and placed second in the 100-yard free¬ style, for the high total of eight points; Dave Enkin broke the record for the 100-yard breast stroke but still lost to an Assumption swim¬ mer; Bernie Douglas placed second in the 200-vard free style; and Hugh Morris was third in the 40-yard free style.

To start off on the right foot, the boys upset the highly favoured Sandwich Spartans 43-41. The following two weeks, the seniors bowed to Kennedy and Patterson. Riverside and Vocational fell to the Tar¬ tans before Assumption managed to eke out a close victory. The following week the Tartans defeated St. Joseph’s without any trouble. As the playoffs drew near, there was much confusion and after a reshuffle, Walkervillc was counted out. This season provided good experience for a promising team and with Mr. Allison ' s coaching, it should be in the thick of the fight at the starting gun next season. ANDY INCHOWlCH—left forward. Andy’s experience and coolness steadied the whole team and he should be of con¬ siderable aid next year. GILBERT ROBINSON—centre.
