L l EDITURI LS Ye Editor Speaks By Bob Coulson The staff of Le Raconteur sincerely hopes that this issue of the annual paper meets with your approval, and at least approaches your expecta- tions. Wie have worked hard to make it a success. If we have failed-well, we are sorry, but we have clone our best. So much enjoyment can be obtained even from a summary of the happy days of school life that we trust we have given you that, if noth- ing more. To the many students who have submitted material for publication--our thanks. If you have not broken into print this time, try again. That your copy has not been used is no reflection on its merit. Perhaps it did not reach us soon enough. Perhaps the standard features of the paper crowded it out. Perhaps it got lost in the rush. Never mindg better luck next time! Again this year, we must, too, 1nake special men- tion of the yeoman efforts of the advertising staff. To this group of young men and women, we really owe this paper, for they have secured the necessary financial backing for us. Our debt to the teaching staff in this, as in other school projects, we do not forget. Mr. Rinn, Mr, Lillie, and Mr. Hawes have been of inestimable help to us. To Miss Cawthorpe, and Mr. Gillan we are no less grateful. The proof of our appreciation of Mr. Gillan's work is the number of his photo- graphs we have used. The sun of school life, so long absent from XYest- dale, is appearing above the horizon. If this issue does anything to assist it towards its zenith, we will be more than satisfied. John Buchan By Loreen Wilkinson john Buchan was born in Perth, Scotland, in 1875. His father was a Presbyterian minister, having a parish near the Tweed River, where john Buchan spent most of his boyhood. lVhen selecting his title, he remembered his boyhood and chose Lord Tweedsmuir. john Buchan was educated at Oxford University and graduated as a lawyer. For two years he was Private Secretary to Lord Milner in South Africa, and thus became well acquainted with the world of politics and the governing of people and a country. lle is a partner in the firm of Nelson X Company, one of the greatest publish- ing houses in the world. john Buchan was also a member of the British llouse of Commons. repre- senting the Scottish Universities. llis successor is the Duke of Kent. During the Great XYar he was on Earl llaig's staff, which was a very outstanding position. ln 1907 john Buchan married Susan Grosvenor, who is related to the lluke of XYestminster. They have four children, three boys and a girl. The eldest son, john, has a government position in Uganda, Africa. XYilham, the second son, is at Oxford, and is the editor of the Uxford Magazine. Alstair, the youngest son, is at Eton College. Alice, the only daughter, is the wife of Captain Fairfax Lucy, of an old English family. The Buchan family have resided at Elslield Manor, near Uxford, for the past seventeen years. john Buchan has written much history, biog- raphy, and fiction. He writes every word himself, usually while travelling. Some of his more popular books are: Castle Gay, Prester john and The King's Gacef' the latter being the history of His late Majesty, King George, and his consort, Queen Mary, since their coronation. john Buchan writes books because he likes to and because he gets real enjoyment from writing them. At least fifty of his books have been published, and they are very popular. ln appearance Lord Tweedsniuir is like Cardinal Newman. lle has a spare figure, lean face, brown hair and broad brow. llis gray-blue eyes are the distinctive feature is his rather austere face. His movements are quick and lithe, as befits a sports- man. He is a mountaineer, rider, walker, falcon enthusiast, deer stalker, and a very good angler for salmon and trout. He dresses quietly as a rule, but in ceremonial clothes he looks very stately. john Buchan is a friendly man, and an extremely fine speaker. As Governor-General, he has already won the esteem and affection of the Canadian people. i 9 LE llACONTEUIl An 0pen Letter to The Editor Dear Mr. Editor: XYe, the pupils of CQII, take this opportunity to express our ideas in regard to the activities of the XYestdale Secondary Schools. Our com- plaints will be salved with good-will, Zlllfl we hope you will accept them in the spirit in which they are meantg our approbation represents an honest attempt to express an appreciation of the various school organizations and those responsible for their control. All the activities in Yllestdale do not appeal to us, but we have tried to express an opinion about those that do. THE TRIUNE The tonic that XYestdale needs is not cod-liver oil but a live Triune Society to keep our school system functioning well. The programs this year have been quite interesting and we have enjoyed them, but we would like to see and hear more of the girl members of the executive. Xkihy can't the vice-president take charge of some meetings and make some announcements in the auditorium? Could the Triune arrange some kind of meeting the first or second day of school especially for the newcomers? Everyone sits around most of the opening day in September and we think it would be better if all the First forms were gathered in the auditorium and told something about the various organizations in the school. THE LIBRARY XYe suppose that both libraries are the same, but our experience is limited to the Vocational. Atten- tion should be called to the condition of some of the books. lllrs. Shaw works hard repairing the older books-those that are gradually succumbing to everyday wear-and-tear-but there are some books, practically new, with torn covers, with pages miss- ing, and names scribbled all over them. lt certainly is annoying to read a book all through, only to Find the last few pages gone. A little more care on the part of the pupils would save unnecesary work for our librarian and would also make reading more enjoyable. Then there is the question of library detentions. Somehow the library doesn't seem just the place for detentions. A pupil should enjoy going to the library, but if it is necessary to report there for detentions he will soon think of it as a place of punishment rather than of pleasure. THE DRAMATIC SOCIETY??? One of the outstanding school orchestras in the Province, the best auditorium in I-lamilton, and 10 considerable talent in acting, singing, and dancing -these are the assets with which we could build a successful Dramatic Society. This Dramatic Society would have the job of eliminating all inferior plays for both the Triune and the Annual School Play Committee. As it is now, nobody is interested in seeking out the real talent in the school and in producing a play worthy of the standards set by other schools in the city. This Dramatic Society could also sponsor classes in such branches of theatrical training as the art of make-up,'l stage scenery and costumes, lighting effects,'l etc. XYe have a Technical Department that has work- shops where scenery could be constructed for big- ger and better plays, and there is also a Sewing Department where costumes could be made. XVhy can't we put on a famous operetta or a Shakes- pearian play, instead of the inferior plays that do not till the auditorium? The answer is that we have no Dramatic Society interested in furthering the cause of theatricals at XVestdale. lf not, why not? THE DEBATING SOCIETY It has been announced from time to time in the auditorium that the pupils have not been support- ing the Debating Society. More support would be given if we knew what it is all about. After all las the teachers remind usl, we are just second- formers, and you cannot expect us to become en- tlmsiastic about debating when we have only a confused idea of what takes place at the meetings. XVe have three suggestions as to how the activi- ties of the Debating Society could be improved. ill Put on a sample meeting in the auditorium. so that the pupils will have some idea as to the activities of such a club. CD25 Have a debate at one of the Triune meetings by some of your best mem- bers. till Choose better topics for the debates- something in which the pupils are interested. NYC have not run out of ideas, but you have been kind to allow us as much space as you have, and so we close, wishing you every success with the 1936 edition of Le Raconteur. In spite of our criticisms we are anxious to support as many student activi- ties as we can, and we wish the school and Triune a happy and a prosperous future, Yours sincerely, PUPILS OF CQB. Editor's note: This letter is the result of a co-operative effort during which each girl in.the class C42 in numberj had a chance to express her opinion. Oyez! Oyez! Oyez! All ye within the juris- diction of the lfVestdale Secondary School, City of Hamilton, County of XVentworth, draw near and give your attention. Know ye that tlj The above gentleman is named B. S. Lillie. Q21 He is responsible for the successful business management of this and of previous XVest- dale Magazines. The iinancial success of this magazine depends mainly on advertisers. The fact that he has been able to secure suf- ficient advertisers, and to arrange suitable terms with the printer and engraver reflects great credit on his Applied Salesmanship. C35 Vtfe appreciate his work. .: Il? 'G r. , I . SALES SUPERVISORS BIII Walsh, Jeanette Gray, Mary Bilton, Bill Szedor Business Editorial The unsung heroes and heroines ul a niatjaziiit- staff are the members of its Business tfoniiiiittee, without whose carefully-1irgaiiized and long-con- tinued efforts, no school magazine could ever be published. XYc wish therefore, in this, our lllust successful issue of l.e liaconteur, lu pay special tribute to the pupils and teachers whose work was carried on in the business and technical depart- ments of the magazine. The members of the .Xdvertising Committee are: Irene Davis, Marjorie Statou. lireda Cooley, Margaret Carrington, Douglas Mclienzie. Russell Dickie. Many advertisements were also sold by nienibers of the Coniniercial Sales Classesfplioto- graph and names appear on another page. .X great deal of credit is due to the personnel of this group that undertook to raise between S-ltttllltl and S-l5tl.tltt in advertising fees. Theirs is a diflicult and thankless task. The stcnographic work involved in the soliciting of advertisements was efficiently handled by NYilhelmina Koster and members of the Commercial Fourth Year. We are proud to announce that the sale of the 19303 edition of Le liaconteur far exceeds that of any previous publication in the history of XYest- dale. ,leanette Gray and her committee tif Mary llilton, llill XYalsh and Bill Szedor, had complete supervision of magazine sales and distribution. The actual sale of magazine tickets was handled by the Room Representatives and to them we express our thanks for tliorotigli co-operation. Much of the work connected with the publica- tion of a school magazine depends on the facilities of the .Xrt Department and of the l'rint Shop. XYe count ourselves lucky in having secured not only the whole-hearted support of these departments. but the skilful advice of the instructors in charge. XYe are particularly indebted this year, as in previous years, to Mr. Gillan for his untiring ef- the many fine photographs that adorn the pages of forts with his camera. lie is responsible for this magazine: we 'tender our appreciation of his fine work and of his unswerving good-nature in the face of iuaiiy trying situations. The work of the Business Committee does not cease with actual publication: for another mouth, a small group will be busy collecting the money due on advertising material. This important activity will be super- vised by Mr. Linton. Other interests soon will occupy your mind: Le Raconteur for 19336 will gather dust on some forgotten shelf. But to all who contributed to the success of XYestdale Secondary Schools annual magazine, we say, Thanks again. and throw out the suggestion that you carry with you that satis- fying knowledge of aidifticult task well done. 11 LE llACONTEUB The Accidental Suicide of a Murderer By john Burbidge HE Chief Commissioner of the C.I.D. ' sat at his desk in his office in New Scotland Yard regarding some reports. The frown on his broad forehead deepened as he turned over the pages, but after a while, with a grunt of satisfaction, he drew forth two closely written sheets. XYhen he had read them through twice, he pressed a bell at his elbow and his secretary entered. You rang, sir? Yes I want this Gordon case transferred to Gregory. You might give him these reports. The Chief nodded. That will be all, Malling. 1 Pl' 'F llugh Gregory was reading the reports when I entered his ofiice. XYe will be leaving for a place called Tavistock. in Devon, to-day, said Hugh. That is if you will go with me. l had been with Hugh on many of his cases, both great and small, so I was not surprised when he took it for granted that I would go with him. I nodded, l'm with you, Hugh. Very well. XYe will leave from XVaterloo on the 9.15 in the morning. That will give us plenty of time to find an hotel and get settled before lunch. From there it is only a matter of twelve miles to the house where this murder was committed. Next day, on the train, I asked Hugh what sort of case we were on. Murder, he replied. lt appears that this man Henry Cordon has been shot. I can't tell you any more at present. XYe arrived at the house at about three in the afternoon. It was more like a palace than a house. lt was an extensive three-storeyed building, with beautiful gardens, beyond which could be seen the moors. The ring was answered by a butler, who took us without delay to the drawing room, where we found a sergeant of police, two constables, and a small dark man of about forty-tive, who was introduced to us as Major Handbury, who owned a half share in the house. If you will come into the library, sir, said the sergeant, I will show you the body and tell you the case as I know it. XYe went into the hall and through a door across from the room we had just left. This was oak- panelled, with a large grate, topped by a heavy mantel, about half-way down the room. Qpposite it stood a comfortable chesterheld. At the opposite end of the room was a massive desk. On the ches- 5'tCriminal Investigation Department. 12 terheld lay a man, a bullet-hole through the centre of his forehead. Hugh examined the body and turned to the sergeant. XYhat do you know about this? Not very much, sir, I am sorry to say. I was called by the Major, who said that Mr. Gordon had been shot about two o'clock yesterday afternoon. The doctor said he thought it was a .32 revolver bullet, but that he couldn't be certain. I searched the house and found a revolver, which the Major said was his. I arrested him, because he was the only person besides the deceased who was in the house at the time of the murder, the servants hav- ing taken the afternoon off, and I knew that it wasn't suicide, because there was no weapon, and the man couldn't dispose of the weapon when he was dead. The Major insisted that I call the C.l.D., because he swore he was innocent and wanted it proved. All right, sergeant: I'll look around this room, said Hugh. Hugh examined the floor around the dead man, and suddenly asked the sergeant in what position the body was when found. He was sitting at that end of the Chesterfield, near that standard lamp, sir. Hugh stood for a minute staring round the roomy then he walked over to the fireplace. Here he examined for a long time a fault in the cement about the centre of the mantelg then, glancing up at the ceiling, he walked over to the standard lamp and pulled the chain switch a couple of times. Can you get me a hammer? he asked. Yes, I'll get you one, said the sergeant. In a minute or two he returned with the hammer, and Hugh proceeded: Before I finish this case I should like a word with Major Handburyf' The sergeant' went out and returned with the Major. Major, said Hugh, 'fwhat connection did you have with Henry Gordon PM He was junior partner in a firm of wholesale importers of which I was the head. NVe also owned this house between us and appeared to be the best of friends-although I think he has been trying to dispose of me for some time that he might own the business himself. Wl1at sort of man was he ? asked Hugh. He was a very mild old fellow, but quite absent- minded, replied the Major. CContinued on Page 621 LE IIAITINTEIIII Squid Harbour By Frances Riley AT Nelson knew that she should be back on the boat, but she loved the freedom and strange stillness of these northern waters. She loved Squid Harbour-the most beautiful harbour. she thought, along the entire northern coast of British Columbia. But where did it get its name? Then suddenly she remembered her father. her friend Betty, and Drake, the very attractive en- gineer, who were waiting for her. She really must go back. Swiftly turning her small boat, she made towards the yacht. Iler father chaffed her as he helped her up the side. Young lady, I won't let you go away after dinner again if you don't come home before dark. Some home we live in, returned Pat, laughing good-naturedly, and casting a glance around the yacht. Nevertheless, continued her father, it is dan- gerous for you to go out on these waters at night without an older person. You were so late to-night I was just going to have Drake weigh anchor and sail after you. Pat ducked into the cabin, curled up in a chair, and started to read. Betty, lying comfortably on a sofa helping herself to chocolates from a nearby and very tempting box, offered one to Mr. Nelson as he entered. And, my lassies, what did you to to-day boonied Pat's father, now fully recovered from his anxiety for his daughter. NVell, we went ashore after lunch. Sent some telegrams. VVent swimming. And then, I think, went to sleep, drawled Betty lazily. I went snooping around Squid Harbour, as you know, added Pat, glancing up from her book with a twinkle in her eye. Did you find the tunnel? asked Drake suddenly. Pat sat up immediately, all attention, waiting to hear what came next. Drake spoke so seldom that one expected him to say something important, and his fund of stories was as famous as his silence. Oh, I-,H she stumbled, I didn't find the tunnel. No-but I did find a cave. It was full of barnacles and everything. Squid Harbour Cavern, I guess. said Drake, tying the loose ends of Pat's somewhat inadequate description into a neat knot of certainty. Pat could not help noticing Drake's eyes. They were so blue that even the smoke screen which his cigarette made could not prevent the blue from showing through. Do you know the story of how Squid llarbour got its name? asked Mr. Nelson. No, I was just wondering who gave such an awful name to so beautiful a harbour. l'at an- swered almost indignantly. lletty began to look interested now. She had a hobby connected with names and where they came from. She liked chocolates, but her hobby came first. I was told this story about ten years ago by an Indian guide who came with me on a hunting trip near Squid Ilarbourf' Mr. Nelson had lighted his pipe, and was smoking refiectively. ily the way, the Indians won't cast anchor in the harbour under any circumstances. Thats why I left Running XYater at Victoria. Running 'XYater was an Indian guide who lived on the Nelson estate and accompanied Mr. Nelson on all his trips. Many years ago, some Indians were on a yacht with a Captain Somers. .-X storm came upon them. and the captain, against the wishes of the super- stitious Indians, insisted on casting anchor in Squid Harbour. It was after mess that he went to his trunk to arrange some papers, sat before an open porthole and- Caught a chill, lletty suggested lightly, but Pat silenced her. Several weeks later a search party went after 'The Bonnyf as Captain Somers called his ship. lklith no little difiiculty they broke into his cabin. and fell back horrified. The Hoor was littered with a smashed table, and beside it a large hunk of squid arm. :X squid. you know, he explained meaning- fully, is like an octopus, but the arms come from the head. Then he continued: 'LX blood-stained knife lay by the door and the gory stains around the porthole were in themselves evidence enough of how Captain Somers had been pulled. bit by bit. through the porthole, into the sea. Pat trembled obviously as she cast a fearful glance at the open porthole above her head. Sillyl smiled her father. The last squid was killed over twenty years ago. Immediately Pat put on an air of defiance. as though she dared any squid alive to come and iight with her. CContinued on Page 63D 13 LE RACCINTEUII Sandy Craig's Good Deed By B. Blake NE evening at Bluebottle Cove. as the sun was sinking behind the purple hills of the Rockies, Sandy Craig appeared from a boathouse at the waters edge. ln this house Sandy had been lab- ouring for several hours on the hull of a sleek black and silver outboard racer. This boat was the prize possession of Clipper Craig. Sandys father. Richard Craig, nicknamed Clipper because of his ability to clip off time from world records, was a prominent figure in the life of the small resort of Bluebottle. Two years before Clipper had met with a serious airplane crash while on his way to a regatta at Long Beach, California. After spend- ing' three months in the hospital. he had been advised to retire to a small town, and had chosen Bluebottle. in which he now resided. On arriving at Bluebottle, he at once had his special boat sent up in parts, and. regaining his health, he, with the aid of Robert, better known as Sandy, had re-assembled the boat. :Xt the Annual Regatta in which liluebottle. Lakeside, Sunny Harbour, Portland and Sailfish Cove participated, Clipper had made an immediate enemy of Ralph Todd, the son of a wealthy banker of Lakeside. by taking away Ralplrs record by two and one-half minutes on the straight-away course of five miles. At the same time he also gained the firm friendship of Don Bently, an orphan whom he befriended while waiting for the race in which he was entered. Don. a brown-haired, blue-eyed boy of fifteen, the same age as Sandy, was standing at the front of a crowd of race-goers. watching the boats warm up, when the crowd surged forward. shoving him off the pier into the path of a speed boat. Clipper. seeing the danger, shouted to 'the lad to swim for it. Sandy took the situation in at a glance. dove overboard, and swimming to the struggling boy. jerked him aside just as the boat whizzed by like a rocket. Finding, on enquiry, that the lad had no parents, Clipper took him to their cabin. Clipper then returned to the lakeside and climbed into his craft just in time to warm up the engine. Bang! The race is on, and Sandy watches till they round the point. and then retires to look after Don. Giving him a suit of clothes and a piping hot meal tended to cement more firmly a friendship that was already as strong as steel. Clipper came home victorious and left Sandy to house the boat and overhaul it. Don watched this with interest, and after several days knew much about motors. The last day of the Regatta was only twenty-four hours away. Sandy stood in the kitchen preparing 14 breakfast. Don and Clipper had gone for a walk up the bench. Suddenly the window broke and a rock landed at Sandy's feet. Looking down, he saw a note tied to the stone. Picking it up, he read, XVe, the holders of Donald Bently and Clipper Craig. demand that you forfeit the race to-morrow, which, if won by you, would take the title from a certain party. lf you agree leave a note in a hollow tree just off the junction of Highways No. 20 and 12 by seven o'clock to-nightfl This was signed The Holders. Sandy busied himself for about an hour wrap- ping various things. .-Xt noon he sneaked out un- seen and was soon at the appointed place. He worked feverishly for half an hour, climbing trees, rigging wires, etc. Soon he surveyed his work and smiled in satisfaction. Placing a paper in the tree, he left for home. At six-thirty a man slunk away from a cabin and raced to a tree at the junction of Highways 20 and 12. He peered cautiously about and proceeded to walk stealthily to a tree. Sud- denly he tripped on a wire, a net descended on him, and Sandy pounced from the bushes on the figure. .Xfter severe questioning the fellow broke down and confessed that Don and the Clipper were being held by some men in a fish shanty on a deserted part of the shore near Sunny Harbour. Sandy left the man bound and gagged and ran to the boathouse some two miles distant. He im- mediately launched the craft, warmed up the engine and was off up the lake to the shanty. About half a mile away he cut his motor, went ashore and crept up on the hut. By the light of a candle in the hut, he could see three men at a table, and in one corner Don and Clipper lay bound and gagged. l'ulling two automatics from his pockets, he quietly pushed the door open and calmly ordered the men to raise their hands. Swiftly but cautiously he backed to Don, stooped down, and, cutting his bonds. left him to free Clipper. Don and Clipper, being free, quickly bound and gagged the men who only a little while before had had them in their power. Extinguishing the candle, the trio left and headed for the boat. VVhen they reached their cabin at Bluebottle, it was almost three o'clock in the morning. Clipper telephoned the Sheriff, giving him the location of the shanty where the three pris- oners were and they all retired and slept until eight in the morning, when they arose, breakfasted, and went to overhaul the boat before the Final race. fContinued on Page 591 ,1 LE IIACUNTEUB Through Mail By Dave Hughes HRDUGH the skies, over the snow-blanketed ground outside Fort Providence, roared the sleek monoplane of Canadian Airways, piloted by young Dick Ilrownly. The plane banked in a wide arc, and with motor ticking over gently, came down out of the air and settled her wide skis on the sur- face of the hard-packed runway. Opening the door of the plane, the young pilot hopped out, dragging two mail sacks behind him. He was met by an officer of the R.C.M.P. and an old man with white beard and wearing a heavy mackinac. Hello, Brownly, I see you have the mail here on time. Old Man Pete here was beginning to wonder if you had forgotten to bring it or if you had re- sorted to a dog team and were late, just as so many of these dog team mail carriers are, said the Mountie with a wink and a nod of his head toward Qld Man Pete. You know denged well, said Old Man Pete in reply to the remark of the officer, that I ain't never been late with my dog team here, and never will be. But if the gov'ment ever decides to put these consarned airyplanes on my route people up Fort NVrigley 'll be a-wonderin' if people in the rest of the world heve stopped writin' letters. Don't let it bother you, Pete, replied Dick, casting a loving gaze on the neat little plane he loved so well. It looks as though you'll be picking the mail up from me here at Fort Providence for a few more years yet. But perhaps Canadian Air- ways may be given the contract yet to carry mail to Fort Wrigley. Not if I have anythin' to do with it, they won't,,' replied the disgruntled oldster. Picking up the mail sacks and loading them on the sleigh, he prepared for the trip to Fort Wrigley. Looks like we are in for a storm, said Dick, as he was watching Old Man Pete load his sleigh. Don't you think you'd better wait until the storm blows over? ' Old Man Pete pulled his cap over his ears, snorted, and said: No blinkin' snow storm 'll stop me-no siree. XVith me on the job the mail 'll allas go through. But what chance has the mail to go through when a denged airyplane man allas has to wait fer weather? With a concluding snort, Old Man Pete turned to his dogs and, with a word to his lead dog, sleigh, dogs and man were soon lost in the snowy haze. ln Fort Providence, a few hours later, by radio, came the crackling voice of the operator from Canadian Airways' headquarters warning all planes to stay grounded, as one of the Northwest's worst blizzards was blowing up and was expected to strike soon. That will keep me here for a few days, said the young pilot to the factor of the trading post at Fort Providence, and, moving closer to the glowing warmth of the stove, he added: I suppose my old rival will be well on his way to Fort XVrigley by now. Night was approaching as Qld Man Pete reached his destination, a deserted log cabin on the margin of an ice-covered lake, that he always used for shelter after concluding the first lap of his journey. Picking up his axe, he went outside the cabin to get some wood for his fire. Approaching a half- dead tree, he began to chop, and as he was swinging his axe for the last time, the tree shook. and. with a sharp report of rending wood, the tree came crash- ing down. The oldster. not prepared for this un- expected occurrence, and not as agile as he had been in his younger days, felt the heavy timber's crushing weight on his left leg. Stunned, Old Klan Pete lay in the snow for a few minutes collecting his scattered thoughts. Two things he was sure of -his leg was badly broken, and that if he did not receive aid soon, he would die of exposure. lfe must reach the warmth and shelter of the log cabin if he ever hoped to protect his pain-racked body from the biting blizzard of the Northwest. The spirit that had so often carried Old Man Pete through the dangers and hardships of his many years as a mail carrier in the Northwest welled up in him now, and with teeth clenched, he began pulling himself to the goal that meant life. At length he managed to drag his pain-seared leg across the threshold of the cabin, realizing that unconsciousness would drive from his brain any spark of an idea whereby he might convey to his friends at Fort Providence that he needed help, and that speedily. .-X cold muzzle touched the old man's pain-whit- ened face, and turning his head slowly he saw the questioning eyes of his lead dog, his faithful com- panion ever since its puppyhood at Fort Providence. Old Man Pete loved his team of dogs. They had made it possible for him to maintain his unblem- ished record of efficiency as a mail carrier of the CContinued on Page 603 15 ml' Z COLLEGIATE TEACHERS FIRST ROW-F. Gillan, J. Fee, J.

Simpson Some uneasiness regarding the general course to be inaugurated in Wfestdale next fall seems to exist. This, is due chiefly to misunderstanding. The main reason for the change is to see if some remedy can- not be found which will help students and parents to make a more suitable selection of the courses offered in the VVestdale Secondary School. So many mistakes have been made in the past that we feel confident scores of students have not received as much benefit as they would have in a more suitable course. The new plan will be of much help in two ways. The big gap between primary and secondary school education will be greatly lessened. The students, after spending one year in the school, will be able to make a more intelligent choice of the course they should follow in the future. During the first year it is intended to make the course as general as possible, but on the distinct understanding that no one will be retarded, no mat- ter which course he may choose at the end of the year. The new subjects will be a little Algebra. Business Practice, General Science, perhaps a choice between French and Art, some Shop XYork for the boys and Household Science and Sewing for the girls, Health Education, and perhaps Music. It is not only in NYestdale that this is being done, because we are shaping our new course along the lines of one to be announced shortly by the Provin- cial Department of Education. Their new course will apply to all schools of the province. For the second year a student may choose to continue the general course or he may prefer the Commercial course, the Collegiate course or the Technical course. ln order to make this choice as beneficial as possible, it is our intention to discuss this choice with each student toward the end of the first year. 17 l lg LE BACIINTEUB Gentlemen, The Kin ! By Gordon Hempstock .XlL! EDXXIXRD YIII: the Prince of VVales. who became King on january 21st, 1936! 1Yhite Lodge, Richmond 23rd, 1394, when Edward This story begins at Park, England, on june .Xlbert Christian George Andrew Patrick David of XYindsor was born. This was an historical event, for never before had a reigning monarch of England seen a great-grandchild who would one day sit on the throne. Edward was the eldest son of Prince George and Princess Mary of Teck, Duke and Duchess of York and Cornwall, and the grand- child of Edward Prince of 1Yales, and great-grand- child of Her Majesty Queen Victoria. flardly had he left the cradle when he took for his motto. Ich Dien, which means l serve. He started school at the age of seven. By the time he was ten he had had two years tutoring in the French language. ln lillll, the words, The Queen is dead. Long' live the King! rang throughout the British Em- pire. Edward Yll ascended the throne. This was a step nearer to the crown for the young Prince Edward. as he was now the son of the Prince of 1Yales and became known as Edward of 1Nales. Edward was sent to the Royal Naval College at Osborne, and later to Dartmouth, where he was treated as an ordinary sailor. lle had, for instance. to get up at 6 a.m. and drill with the rest of the midshipmen. Thus, during the eight years of his grandfather's reign, he went to school, for this Prince was taught not to wear the crown. but to play the game. fle was so popular with the men at college that he earned for himself the title of The Sardinef' ln lillll, England again heard the words. The King is dead. Long live the Kingli' This time George Y. the l'rince's father. ascended the throne. Edward was made Prince of Wiales and a Knight of the Garter. lt was at the coronation of his father and mother that he hrst donned the coronet of his rank. The mere fact that his crown was more elaborate than his brothers' or sister's showed him his importance to his country. lle did not like court life, and was very pleased when his royal father told him he was to continue his naval studies. lle went aboard the Hindustan, a 16,350-ton bat- tleship. The men on the Hindustan were prepared to welcome a shy young Prince to their quarters, 18 but found they had received a surprise package. Once more the Prince threw off his rank and again became just another sailor. The cruise aboard the Hindustan ended all too soon for the sea-loving Edward. After visiting France in 1912, the Prince of XVales registered at Oxford University. He wore baggy pants and skipped lectures just as often as the rest of the undergraduates. He visited Berlin, Ger- many, in 1913, but later returned to Oxford. His college days were cut short by the Great Wlar. He immediately wanted to enlist in the Navy, but was informed that the heir to the throne could not go to war. Downcast, the Prince asked what he had brothers for. Soon after this he joined the Grenadier Guards. Edward was disgusted upon arriving in France when he found he was to be aide-de-camp to Gen- eral French. He wanted to fight. Later, however, the Prince got his chance to cheer the men on to victory and to do some fighting himself. 1Vhile visiting an aerodrome in Italy, he went up with George Barker. a Canadian ace. who took him twenty miles into enemy territory. They had to fight their way homeg the Prince downed two enemy airmen. During King George Y's illness in 1928. the Prince performed his father's duties. and since that time he has undertaken an ever-larger share of the kingly obligations. On january 21st, 19236, the Empire once again heard the solemn words. The King is dead. Long live the King! The Prince of 1Vales ascended the throne, llis Most Gracious Majesty, Edward VIII, by the grace of God. of Great Britain, Ireland and the British Dominions Beyond the Seas, King. Defender of the Faith. Emperor of India, and Sov- ereign of the Most Noble Order of the Garter. His Majesty was the first monarch of Great Britain to Hy in an aeroplane, for he Hew from Sandringham, where his royal father died. to Lon- don to be officially proclaimed King. Already he has shown that he is to be no figure-head, but a real guiding hand of the destiny of his Empire. which controls one-quarter of the world's popu- lation. Gentlemen, The King! Long may he reign over us! LE IIACUNTE Ull A Ramble with the Stars By Constance Caunt OUNTLESS thousands of men have lifted their eyes in wonder to the same star-studded sky that bends over us. Princes, scholars, peasants. from time immemorial, have sought to understand its mystery. Yet through the solemn march of years, the majestic unfolding of centuries, the stars have remained coldly aloof from prying minds. Is there anyone who has gazed upward at these clustered worlds and not felt the meaner things of life fall from him? Surely there never yet lived the man who, face to face with the immensity of space, did not realize his own insignihcance, and, realizing it, did not strive to rise above himself, above his petty world, and dwell among the stars. And why should this be so? The primitive man who roamed the earth in the dawn of time, if he looked at the stars, did so with the same stir of emotion that still urges wolves to howl on moonlit nights. lt was mere brute wonder. Even in the remote beginning, this man-animal possessed a spark of something that the wolves did not. Like other animals, he feared many things- beasts stronger than himself, storms, earthquakes- in short, both what could hurt him, and what he could not understand. Unlike other animals, out of his ignorance and helplessness he formed a desire to appease the powers that might hurt him, and to reverence the things he did not understand. From the former wish developed the ideas of evil spirits. sacrifice, and charms, from the latter grew the religions of the world. Scientists have called the two the instinct of worship. C'f course, early man, so much the child of Nature. worshipped her greatest miracle-the sky: sun, moon and stars. As man grew, so did his ideas of worship, and since he has not changed fundament- ally, neither have they. First the sun was wor- shipped for its heat and light, then as a radiant god personifying noble qualities, now as the thought of another and greater VVho rules the the universe. It was the same with the moon. And the stars? The stars have always been the homes of the gods and the good. Thus men, in blind belief that there must be a Something greater than they, from age to age have lifted their faces to these glistening worlds in search of comfort, of truth, of a thousand things. Long before our time the patient stars heard the questions we ask to-day. Long after we are gone they will still hear them. Some day they will listen in vain when there is not one left to seek the answers to the eternal whys of the human race. 5 hunter, herdsman, tiller of the soil, man's companions of the darkness have been the stars. Night by night they flickered above tents of skins spread round a crackling fire. above hillsides where herdsnien watched their silent flocks, above river valley dotted with huts and patched with squares of ripening grain. Through the generations men watched these stars. They named them, formed them into patterns, told wondrous tales of figures in the sky. The names and legends live yet to heighten the strange beauty of a starry night with the fantasy of far-off times. The gradual change of occupation. from hunting to farming, tended to limit man's travels. In the beginning, the game, on which he depended for food, roamed over the earth in vast herds, and of neces- sity man was a nomad. XYhen he caught and tamed animals of his own, his wanderings became less extensive, being confined perhaps to a seasonal change of pasture lands. Finally the protection and cultivation of his little fields, cares of a farmer's life, held him securely within the curve of his own hills. Now, more than ever, he watched the stars and marked them as they rose and fell in burning constellations. He connected these regular move- ments with the reasons, and then the true calcula- tion of time began. To bark back thus through prehistoric ages is to make apparent again the subtle fascination of the stars. They are unchang- ing while all else changes, eternal though all else lives to die. This very day man stands on a twilight world beneath the pale arch of early stars. lrle thinks of the stars, recalling figures of size and distance. sometimes a few scraps of poetry. Perhaps he tries to understand what the stars are and how they came to be. But since all thought is strangely self- centered, he soon begins to ponder on that ever- lasting riddle-whence he came, whither he goes. and why. Let him think long, deeply, and often as he will, yet the answer is ever beyond him. The wise man who can understand this, and he alone, may look into his heart and there find written these words of one of ancient days: There is a joy, cancelling all sorrow, crowning all joys, my reason for being. I live that I may behold . . . the calm beauty of night drawing across the sky, and the evening star slowly sinking into the glow of sunset. 19 my 6 nf P ma Qu wh ' . ag-QQ, I H.. ,,.

Alas, only a few can be successful. The following executive resulted: President ................. Russell Eden Vice-President .. .. Dorothy Jackson Secretary ...... . . . Louise Griflith Treasurer ....... .... ' John R. Fee Asst. Treasurer . . . . . . Robert McPhie . . ...... Muriel Grapes VVilhelmina Koster Collegiate Rep. Commercial Rep. .... . Technical Rep. .. .... Tom Kernaghan .. Robert Coulson ... .. Robert Cattell Debating Rep. ........... Laird Jennings Advisors-K. F, Ettinger, G. H. Chapman, A. G. McColl. Our own campaign promise-that you would have nothing to worry about-has kept us stepping to insure just that for you. Xve have worked, and are still working, to give the students what they wanted in the way of entertainments, and we sin- cerely hope we have succeeded. The Hrst business meeting of the executive took place in November. It was decided to meet every Le Raconteur . . . Orchestra Rep. Tuesday in A-32. The Commercial students, under the direction of Mr. F. G. Millar and Mr. Fred VVard, presented the first open meeting on November ?2nd. Jean Rey- nolds, a promising elocutionist, delivered two humorous dramatizations. Eileen Carr, accom- panied by Vera Roberts, rendered two delightful solos. The meeting was completed by a humorous, well-portrayed two-act play, The Royal Spark. The School Orchestra, under Mr, I. NW. Lomas, was in attendance. On December 13th, the members of the Triune Society were entertained by motion pictures, en- titled, The Country Kid, featuring Jackie Coogan. Before the film and between each reel, Pete Malloy and his Kid Collegians favoured the audience with different dance selections. The Tea Dance was held on December 20th. llal lladtield's Orchestra was in attendance. .Xn Amateur Show took place on January lTth. in which anxious, nervous students showed their talents along the lines of music, dancing, singing and tumbling. The prizes were carried away by Ruth Cole, Roy XYright, Dorothy Gumbly. Ethel llardy, Dorothy Jackson, Alma Taylor, Xlary Walker, and Betty Lumner. Xkalter Lumsden proved a very capable Blajor. The annual .-Xt-llome was held on Friday. Janu- ary illst. Many students danced to the musical strains of llal llad1ield's orchestra beneath streamers of orange and green arranged in an ex- quisite pattern. The success of the evening was due to the excellent work of Mr. Laird Jennings and his committee. Miss Dowsley and Miss lloyes directed a play, l'laphazard Historical llighlightsf' which was presented on Thursday, February tith. lt consisted of humorous historical skits. portraying Sir XYalter Raleigh. llenvy VIH, XVars ofthe Roses, etc. Mrs. lXlcrXndrew, Mr. McCandlish, Mr. Lomas and the School Orchestra provided the musical settings. This year's executive organized the hrst Debating Society at XYestdale. XYe realized that the lack of interest in debates has been detrimental to the best interests of both the students and the school. Although this society is still very young, we have held some extremely interesting meetings under the leadership of Laird Jennings and Vera Thomp- son. XYe sincerely hope that next year XYestdale may send representatives to the Secondary Schools' Debating Tournament. The students may look forward with great anti- cipation to future events: School Flay, Junior Party, Easter Tea Dance, and many entertaining Triune meetings. If the future executives enjoy the co-operation of the students and teachers as much as this executive has. the search for a school spirit will be finished and the long lacking necessity will become an accomplished asset. May the Triune organizations grow and prosper and extend more and more their usefulness to XYestdale School and the students. 21 l 1 MODEL AIRCRAFT LEAGUE OF CANADA QCol.

Increase in membership and social activities have delinitely given it a foundation. In March, 1935, pins were introduced and pur- chased by the members. In June, the membership was increased by the addition of Eileen Foote, Peggy Swan, Jessie Bal- loch, ,Ieanette Gray, Isabel Greenhill, Annabelle Smye, Phyllis I-Iollier, and Marg. McQueen. The initiates were put through the mill in short order. Dressed in tunics with skipping-rope belts, with powdered hair and tightly-clutched dolls, the new- comers were officially welcomed into the club. A very sad state of affairs occurred at the corner of King and james Streets. when Mr. Policeman refused to give back to Eileen Foote her doll, which he had so kindly held for her while she daintily pinned a bunch of violets to his lapel. By disregard- ing the momentary embarrassment of the girls, the initiation could be considered a howling success. In September, a weiner-roast, held at the Bronte home of Elizabeth Dawson, supplied an evening of fun and entertainment. On October 9th, the following executive was elected: President ...... .. Peggy Sawden Vice-President . .. . . . Doreen Groom Secretary ..... . . . Marge Cardno Treasurer .... ......... P hyllis Hollier Another Advisor, Miss Calderone twho kindly acceptedl, was invited to join the club. A new avenue of work was opened up by the club in December. Several Christmas baskets were sent out to needy families. This alone, perhaps, proves the success of the organization. A dance at Roberts' will conclude the club's activities up to the time this magazine goes to press. Exchange By G. R. Richmond and E. Siegel N RECENT depression years many schools throughout the Dominion have been forced, through lack of funds, to cut down or, in some cases, to discontinue their magazines. Due to re- turning prosperity, some of these schools have recommenced publication of their year-books. LE BACUNTE Ull Others have enlarged, and added to theirs-pic- tures, cartoons, and stories. The cover designs have also been improved in many cases. Internally, we iind most magazines have shown little change for better or for worse. There is still a preponderance in some of venerable jokes. ln fact, many of our contemporaries are slowly degen- erating into mere joke books. XYith the exception of the above defects, we lind that, on the whole, the magazines are decidedly good. COMMENTS The O.A.C. Review tflntario Agricultural College, Guelphj- You have a very good magazine. lYe observe, however, that more space is devoted to advertising than to reading matter. The Twig tU.T.S., Torontoj- An excellent magazine. Well illustrated. Has an excellent athletic section. Acta Ridleana tRidley College, St. Catharinesl- Your paper has a distinct English flavour, which is a pleasant change from the American of most magazines. It could be improved with more stories, and a moderate amount of jokes. The Magnet tjarvis Collegiate, Torontol- A well-balanced magazine, having just the right amount of form news, jokes, and stories. Une seem- ingly insignificant think which caught our eye was the reinforcement strip along the bound edge of the books. Most school papers soon become torn and dilapidated because of the lack of this thoughtful precaution. Vox Lycei tCentral Collegiate. lIamiltonl- A great improvement over last year. It is much larger, and contains better material. In our opinion, the cover has the best design we have seen this year. In addition to the above, we wrote to the Park- dale C.I., Toronto: Ingersoll C.I., Ingersoll: Kitchener and XYaterloo C.I., Kitchener: Tillson- burg C.I., Tillsonburg: Cranleigh School. Iledford, Surrey: Beck C.I., London: ,Iarvis C.I., Toronto: Central C.I., London: Yictoria College, Toronto: Lower Canada C.I., Montreal: Northern 'Vocational School, Toronto: Owen Sound Collegiate, Owen Sound: and others., Unfortunately, some of these schools have proved a little slow in replying to us, while others have not published as yet. 23 9 Y SHOW ET I VAR A Soi E.

TERM without social doings would be like bread without butter, and who likes that? Nobody at VYestdalel Hence dances and other entertainments which add zest and variety to our school life. The year is not yet over, but already the follow- ing events have lightened and brightened the burden and gloom of pursuits academical: THE CAST DANCE First of the events since last year's Le Racon- teur went to press was the Cast Dance, held in the boys' gym for the cast of the Variety Show, mem- bers of the orchestra and magazine staff. Everyone deserved the good time they had after their excel- lent performances, and who wouldn't have a good time at a school dance with Fred Sweeney and his orchestra providing the music! THE EASTER TEA DANCE lt just wouldn't seem right if each term didn't close with a Tea Dance, and so, at Easter, the last social event until the Fall was held. Vvith music provided by Freddie Arthur and his orchestra, the boys' gym was again the scene of this happy event. A record crowd turned out to celebrate the hnish of their exams and the beginning of the Easter holidays. COMMENCEMENT The Annual Commencement took place in the Auditorium on Friday, November 15. Prizes and other awards were presented in the presence of all parents and friends who cared to attend-and, needless to say, the hall was filled. Speeches of various kinds were made, and medals awarded to those gifted students among our numbers. Gradu- ates received diplomas on their farewell evening at VVestdale, and each member of our hockey team received a W. Many of the teachers, and well- known Hamilton men and women connected with the Board of Education were on the platform, and the school orchestra, as is its custom, provided an excellent program of music. THE- CHRISTMAS TEA DANCE NVith the exams over and Christmas just around the corner, what could have been a better send-off for the holidays than a tea dance! The Stlhiul Spirit came down to earth for once, and a large crowd, attracted by the rhythm of llal lladlieldl orchestra, was in attendance. .Xnd so the old year passed into the new, and the first social event of lfliltj took place in -lanuary. This was the .Xnnual ,Xt-liome. THE ANNUAL AT-HOME Friday night, .lanuary 231, was the date of the .Xnnual .Xt-Honie, held in the boys' gym, which was brightly decorated for the occasion in the school colours. llal lladheld's orchestra again provided the music. Several of the teachers and their wives graciously acted as patrons and patronesscs, and we're sure they enjoyed the dance as much as the students. A short floor show was presented during the intermission, and then the dancing continued till everyone regretfully had to say Good-night at the end of another successful .-Xnnual .Xt-lioine. THE OLD BOYS' AT-HOME On Thursday. February lil, the Brant lnn was the scene of the fourth Annual .Xt-llome uf the XYestdale Old lioys' .-Xssociation. Mr. and Mrs. H. L. Simpson, Mr. and Mrs. K. F. Ettinger, Mr. and Mrs. gl. R. Fee, Mr. and Klrs. ll. O. Klc.Xndrew and Mr. and Mrs. R. Xfkalker acted as patrons and patronesses. The music was supplied by Bert Niosi and his orchestra, and the Inn was tastefully decorated for the occasion. The committee, Mc- Culloch, Booth, Harlatt, Turnbull and Hedley, must be congratulated on their excellent manage- ment ofthe affair, which was voted a huge success. THE OLD GIRLS' AT-HOME Last on our list of social doings was the XYest- dale Old Girls' Dance at Roberts' Cabaret on March 5, with music by Nick Stout and his orchestra. Mr. and Mrs. Simpson, Mr. and Mrs. Bates and Klr. and Mrs. Miller represented the teachers. and an excel- lent door show was provided under the guidance of Doreen Groom. Annabelle Smye, Norma XYake- ham, Peggy Sawdon, Jeanette Gray, Clara Dell and Doreen Groom made up the committee which arranged the affair, and to these much credit is due for the success of the dance, which was the second At-Home of this comparatively new organization. 25 l A AL I By Peter F. llenderso HEX school opened last Fall. we found that many of our friends had left us.

T IS a commonly accepted notion that the French spoken by our fellow-Canadians of French origin is a corrupt habitant patois, very different from Parisian French, and that, if one wishes to learn French, he should by no means take the easy and inexpensive method of sojourning for a time in our sister province. Quebec French does differ from Parisian French: but then so does Toronto English differ from Oxford English, and for similar reasons. The people of Quebec were completely cut off from France from the time of the Conquest up to almost the end of the ninteenth century. Even since that time, a comparatively small number of French-Canadians have had any contact with the mother country. It is, therefore, quite understandable that some dif- ferences in speech have developed in more than two hundred years of separation. The French-Canadians, to begin with, were of two classes: the clergy, army officers and civil officials who spoke the court language of the seven- teenth century, and the habitants, speaking a com- posite of the dialects, but mainly the Norman speech of the race of sailors and farmers or Nor- mandy and Brittany. The crucible of time fused these elements into a speech hardly distinguishable from the French of the classical period interlarded with modes of speech and turns of expression derived from the people of the northwest coast of France. You may call this a patois, if you like, but it is of high descent. The main peculiarities of this speech have been carefully studied and accounted for historically by a number of competent students. The Societe du Parler Francais au Canada has collected and pub- lished in its journal very complete vocabularies of French-Canadian words. Mr. Adjutor Rivard, author of Chez Nous and other fascinating essays on French Canada, wrote a small book entitled La Langue Francais au Canada, which sets forth the main pecularities of Canadian French. A few of the characteristic differences may be of interest to readers of this magazine. The first and most characteristic difference is the archaic pro- nunciation of the oi in moi, toi, soir, which is sounded moe, toe, soerf' Louis XIX' prob- ably said L'etat c'est moe. lt is easy to prove by the rhymes in the poetry of this epoch that the above was the current pronunciation. The oui of the afiirmative and of Louis was sounded none and Lorie, and so on. :Xt first these sounds are very confusing to one who expects the sounds of Parisian French, and they have been one of the main causes why visitors have thought Canadian French a miserable patois. They are merely archaisms no worse than the New England gotten. The vowel is generally given the open sound, as in English bit, instead of the closed sound, ai is often sounded like the a of English pat in the ending of the imperfect and conditional tense and elsewhere and the and e are given the same sound. Another peculiarity is the sounding of the final consonant in places where it is silent in modern French. Proper names like Amyot, Pouliot, .loliet sound the t, lVords like droit, froid. are pronounced drct, fret fnote the voiceless t sound for the final Md in both singular and plural. It is quite natural that a race of sea-rovers like the Normans and Bretons should retain nautical phrases even after they had swallowed the anchor and set up on shore as farmers, traders and coureurs de bois. So a fall of snow is une bordee fbroadsidel de neigef' To my surprise I was once ordered by a friend: .Xmarrez fmoorl le chevalln I ani told that marrer and demarrern are used of automobiles too! Quaint arcliaisms abound: icite for ici, itou for aussi. Some small English boys in a certain school were asked by the French master if they could speak French. Nearly all held up their hands. One lad was slow but finally raised his hand with the words: Moe itou! Louis XIV would have understood him perfectly even if a modern Parisian would have been puzzled.

Brest est celebre par deux batailles navales. lin 1694 la flotte anglaise, commandee par Lord Berkeley, fut defaite par les Francais. Exactment un siecle plus tard, en 1794, la flotte francaise fut defaite par l'amiral Howe.

Old-timers recognize it as a modified expres- sion of the post-war jazz. The current swing songs are tricky. The rhythms consist of a set of blended melodies, com- pletely unlike the more sedate and lilting waltzes of another era. The words are usually inane, but their departures from the accepted are compara- tively understandable. Every day our makers of music are trying to find better and more entertaining ways of presenting their material. The straight singer or instrumental- ist is no longer news. There must be some special angle of showmanship, some individuality, some- thing that sets a performance apart from the con- ventional and traditional, before the elusive thing known as the public will sit up and take notice. lYhere some orchestras seem to have been success- ful in satisfying the musical appetite of the country, others fail to receive recognition and remain obscure and unknown. To play what is written in the average copy of a popular song is just to begin to play. The only thing which brings the orchestra into the limelight is when they are different and they have to re-cast and ornament the music before them. Unce they learn how to build up a piece of music that way then they being to have style. The leader of an orchestra has much to do with the success of his band, for upon the orchestra is reflected his character. Scattered throughout the country are thousands of orchestras, and all have set for their mark the top. llow many of these actually do reach the top? The public demands something different, and that is what the orchestra leaders have to contend with. .Xmong the handful of acknowledged leaders of orchestras is Fat's lYaller, who has risen from ob- scurity to his present fame by his inimitable ren- ditions. liis modern conception of popular music, combined with an ear for classics, has made him Victor's greatest record seller tB.C.-before crea- tion of Music Goes 'Round 'n' 'Round j. 30 Eddy Duchin created a new epoch in the history of popular music when he brought his wide technical knowledge of music to the rough and vital energy of jazz. :Xt the present time no piano style is better known than Eddie Duchin's. Hundreds of thousands of radio listeners know without being told that it is Eddie Duchin playing, for none can help but recognize his intricate and inspired musical twist which makes his style so effective. Duke Ellington became famous by his brilliant playing, featuring unique and daring cross-rhythms combined with strange and broken tempos. His selections give one the feeling of the very spirit of physical Africa moving in stirring rhythm. He has, better than any other orchestra leader, the ability to express himself musically. Ray Noble has created a new vogue in American music. His orchestra is a perfect example of how a leader characterizes his band. On account of the musicians' union he could not bring from England his own band, but in spite of this, he came over to America, assembled an orchestra, and by his spec- tacular arrangements of dance tunes forged to the top of orchestral distinction. .lack Hylton, another English invader of America, who seems to have been more fortunate than Ray Noble, as he was permitted to bring most of his London troupe with him, is a sort of British Fred XYaring, and emphasizes stage effects and novelty numbers. His version of the tune entitled Dick Turpin's Ride to York is an English counterpart of XK'aring's Annie Doesn't Live Here Any More. Fred XVaring has risen from nowhere to a place among the prominent array of radio talent. XYaring's Pennsylvanians, founded in Pennsylvania State College, began their career as a dance band with a few private dance engagements in their home section, to rise rapidly by endurance, practice and self-sacrifice to their present position, earning last year close to a million dollars. Guy Lombardo, voted by the radio editors throughout Canada and the U.S.A. as having Amer- ica's best dance band for 1935-6, has an orchestra that is made up of men who have played together as musicians for years. Beginning what seemed a small career in London, Ont., they rose to a position among the great popular musicians of the era. Listening to Music By Wilfrid Proctor ln these days, thanks to the radio-and, in a smaller degree, to mechanized reproduction-line music, expensively produced, may be easily and cheaply obtained. This no doubt would seem to the majority of us excellent, yet it is not without its drawbacks and may quite easily have the bad effect of dulling out sensitiveness to musical stimuli. If we are content to employ music as a pleasant background for our reading, conversation or dozing, we need only to switch on our loud speakers and continue our various occupations. But listening to music is an active process which demands our full attention, and unless we concentrate on what we hear, it will, using the old expression, merely come in one ear and out the other, leaving no sediment of meaning or sensation behind it. Music to-day is so plentiful that we are tempted to regard it too cheaply. Even the few of us who attend good concerts regularly can supplement our experience by means of radio or gramophone. Music is almost literally Hin the air, but it is no easier to extract full enjoyment from it than it was before reproducing instruments were invented. It may be argued perhaps that once the habit of listening to soothing music is acquired it is possible to relax vigilance and divide attention, .Xctually the more habitual listening to music becomes, the more dillicult it is to attempt anything else at the same time. The distinction between hearing and listening may be illustrated by means of a simple analogy. Listening to our mother tongue is hab- itual, in a sense that we do not need to make any conscious effort in order to understand what is said to us. That is the effort lfor it is an effort, as first formers plainly see, when beginning another lan- guagel which has become so natural as to be negli- gible. Howeyer, in music we cannot afford to allow our attention to lapse. The whole point that l have been tryinff to make K . S clear may be easily demonstrated by one attempt- ing to read a newspaper and listen to a broadcast speech at the same time. lt may not be, of course, utterly impossible, but we realize at once that it demands a special kind of mental application. The average person will find that either the speech or the newspaper will be sufficient to keep his mind comfortably engaged, and in the end he will either listen to the broadcast or read the paper. Music, which, after all, is a form of language, equally de- mands respectful attention if it is to be enjoyed or be something more than a pleasant noise. To derive any benefit from it whatsoever we must not only hear music but listen to it. ORCHESTRA BACK ROW-W. Royce, W. Brown, M. Swlck, D. Oates, K. Burke, R. Cartmell, M. Cochrane, K. Lemmond, E.

'31 LE BACIJNTEUII Music By Irwin Goldberg The Orchestra had a very full and interesting year and was kept busy practising for its various engagements. lt played a very entertaining pro- gram at the Royal Connaught llotel for the anni- versary of the .-Xd Club, besides playing for the Commencement, and Triune programs, the Tech- nical Exhibition, and several church programs. .Xn excellent annual concert was presented by the 1 'rchestra, and those attending enjoyed immensely the new selections playedg professional artists assisted. For the dances and the choruses of the School l'lay. the tf'rchestra changed from classics to popu- lar selections, featuring such tunes as: The Con- tirentalf' Tea for Two and Fare Thee Hell, .Xnnabclle. The scores of these pieces were trans- posed and written for the Orchestra by Mr. Lomas, who is to be congratulated on his clever arrange- ments. The Nature of Musie By Vernon Bridgewood Cf all the line arts music is, perhaps, the most wonderful, the most uplifting, the most com- plete. It explores the heights and depths of human passion and human experience, and transports the soul through the entire gamut of the emotions. Music, the gifted child of the imagination, is also the hand-maiden of exact science. It differs greatly from architecture. sculpture, and painting. Guided by the architect's plans, men hew massive rocks of granite, and lo! the mighty cathedral rises into the air: the sculptor overlays it with lacework of stone. and the painter decorates it with holy pic- tures to tell the saintly story to those who cannot read it for themselves. And century after cen- tury, the cathedral stands, and man may admire its graceful proportions and worship within its portals. Music, however, is not formed of granite blocks. but of just a succession of sounds which are so mod- ulated that they please the ear. The composer writes it: the musicians play it-and when they pause. all that remains is a beautiful memory, instead of a visible monmnent. So, compared to the other arts, music is the most ethereal. Yet it has one advantage over the great cathe- dral, for the latter can never change its site, while music may be heard at the same time in different parts of the world. 32 Not only this, but music is a most wonderful language, for it can express more emotion and intensity of feeling than any other language that has ever been spoken. The use of music as a serious factor in education is bound up with the whole question of art in the national life. Music is being accepted in an increas- ing number of high schools and universities as a credit or optional subject in courses leading to graduation. lts educational and cultural value in training the mind and developing the artistic sense is becoming universally recognized. All this marks a decided change in attitude from that which pre- vailed a very few years ago, when music was con- sidered merely a pleasing accomplishment. Short Waves By W. Smith The use of short waves used in radios in the home has been a lifesaver to both the listening public and the radio industry. ln the early days of radio, the chief object of most listeners was to try and receive stations from the greatest distances away. This lust for long dis- tance reception died out when the broadcasting stations started putting programs over the air that were really entertaining. This form of entertain- ment built up a very large listening audience, and then the depression hit the radio industry. Some- thing had to be done to keep up the sale of radio receivers and satisfy the listeners. Short waves was the answer. The crave for a new form of entertainment was satisfied. Also was the old eagerness for distance. Short wave stations in foreign countries were being received regularly and appreciated by people whose sets were equipped to receive these mysterious wave - lengths. Nowadays there are very few receivers built that do not cover the short wave- lengths. England and Germany are the outstanding for- eign countries whose programs are really excellent and are received consistently. Almost every coun- try of any size now has a short-wave broadcasting station being received throughout the world. Other stations received are amateurs, police and aircraft, but these transmissions are not intended for the listening public. VVhen tired of domestic programs, the radio listeners can now rely upon short waves to bring them a program that is different.

Do you remember reading The Phan- tom Rickslzaztf, The Light That Failed, Dcffvariutenfal Ditties? Of course you do! How could you forget them? Almost everyone has read these, for few authors had a wider audience than Rudyard Kipling. Those who have read his poetry or his fiction have been enamoured with it and admire the man who produced it. The man Kipling is dead, but his mind and soul still live, and will always live, as will the books he wrote. Born in Bombay in 1865, Kipling was educated in England. He returned to India in 1882, where his life D among the people greatly influenced his works. Seven years later, he returned to England and took up resi- dence there. Once more he returned to India. but only for a short time. He married an American lady. and spent four years in Vermont before settling in England. This great master fulfilled his duty in making this world a better place to live in. He passed away on January 18, 1936, and was mourned by old and young alike. His body lies with Britain's greatest heroes in XN'estminster Abbey. 35 IHNIK REVIEW The Abuse and Dlisuse of Books By Isobel Grace UU many of us regard books as something to be avoided whenever possible. and not as help- ful friends. Perhaps this is because we are so often obliged to use them as sources of knowledge. Of course, all good books are sources of knowledge, but many of them can be profitably read for enjoyment's sake alone. The very young. and very thoughtless student pro- fesses to hate books. The wealthy collector pretends to love them. This man stocks his library with rare editions of the old masters. and poses as an intellec- tual. He will tell you that Milton said. A good book is the precious life blood of a master spirit. but of these master spirits he remains pathetically ignorant. To use books thus for show and ornament is to misuse them sadly. The students healthy ignorance of the best in litera- ture. and his abuse of that with which he is unacquainted. is pardonable. but who can find excuse for the careless individual who flings a leather-bound volume on the floor for muddy feet to trample? XYhat can be said in defence of those who allow grimy little fingers to disligure the best illustrated books? lYhoever is tempted to abuse, misuse. or destroy a book would do well to remember the motto of the Everymans Library collection of the classics, Every- man, I will go with thee and be thy guide in thy most need to go by thy side. LAMB IN HIS BOSOM By Caroline Millar Reviewed by Ray Burridge 1.011111 111 His 13050111 is the most unusual. fresh, and fascinating book that it has ever been my privilege to read. :Xnd yet I started to read it in haphazard fashion, as one does when making acquaintance with the new and strange. For one thing, its lack of chapter head- ings perplexed me. But as I got deeper into the story. my interest quickened. I found myself becoming a member of the family it describes. a lover of its char- acters and scenes. This is the story of a woman-the most womanly woman imaginable-of her life as a child. her girlhood 36 in the backwoods of the South, and of her old age. She was an unassuming, plain girl. and her life was such as we moderns would call uneventful, but her courage, humour, and sympathy enlist one's immediate interest. 1.011111 111 His B050111 begins with Cean, the girl, leaving her childhood honie to live with Lonza. her new husband. Lonza is an immense, clumsy, and silent man. but one whose character is a shining light all through the book. Cean is a true Wife to Lonza. She helps him in his work, mothers his children. and braves dangers un- known to the woman of to-day. Lonza's death leaves Cean stricken with grief. but eventually she again marries. and again her husband is taken from her-this time by the war. Tragedy succeeding tragedy, Cean becomes an old woman with a raucous voice and quick temper. Finally, however, she masters misfortune, and when her husband returns from the war. the two of them settle down to a con- tented old age. Lamb 1711 His 5050111 is a beautiful book, but one that must not be read scornfully. The story itself is simple, but its descriptive passages, and its masterful portrayal of a woman's soul make it an unforgettable experience. THE SEVEN LEAGUE BOOTS By Richard Halliburton Reviewed by Mary Bishop In the introduction to his newest book, Sviwz League Boots, Richard Halliburton tells us how he was com- missioned to don the boots of story fame, to travel where he would. and to write of whatever pleased his fancy. The boots took him first to Fort Jefferson, now a ruin, but intended to stand as a Gibraltar to the Gulf of Mexico. Next he travelled to Santiago. where Admiral Hobson sank the Merrimac to block the har- bour against the Spanish fleet. On the Island of Haiti. the author viewed the ruins of the immense palace of Henry Christophe. the Black King of Haiti. Believing that XYatlings Island is the San Salvador of Colum- bus's voyage, he there sought proofs to establish his theory. His next adventure took him to Paris. It was his intention to buy an elephant there with which to cross the Alps a la Hannibal. Unfortunately, this trip had to be postponed, but another to Russia proved no less interesting. There he interviewed Ermakov, alleged assassin of Nicholas II, Madame Lenin, and Zapara Kint, the oldest man in the world. From Russia he strode to Turkey, from Turkey to Crete, from Crete to Arabia, from Arabia to Ethiopia, and thence to Paris, where an elephant now waited to take him on his crowning adventure through the Saint Bernard Pass into Italy. Although The Seven League Boots does not contain as many amusing facts and incidents as Halliburton's other books, it does give a vivid impression of condi- tions in Russia and Ethiopia, two countries in which everybody is interested to-day. Further, the freshness and vigour of its style makes even the instructive pas- sages exciting. OLIVER CROMWELL By john Drinkwater Reviewed by A. Rolls and B. Wase Oliver Cromwell is a well-written and realistic his- torical play of eight scenes set in the most important places in England, It has a good deal of action, and quite a few exciting moments. The battle scenes, and the torture scenes are the best ones in the play. but there are romantic parts in this play for those who like them. The only weak points in Oliver Cromwell are the deaths of Ireton and Hampden. Drinkwater does not make clear what happened to them, and he should have, for they are important characters. He could, too, have brought out the details of the battles much better than he did. This play does not, of course, give an entirely true picture of Cromwell. As Lord Protector of England, he did many rash and cruel things. But it is, no doubt, exact enough from the point of view of Cromwell's family and friends. THE LUCK OF THE BODKINS By P. G. Wodehouse Reviewed by Ken Giffen This book is one of the funniest novels ever penned by VVodehouse. The setting is aboard the R.M.S. Atlantic, which is sailing from England to America. Monty Bodkins, a retired gentleman of considerable wealth, is pursuing his loved one, who him. During the voyage, Miss Lotus Blossom, a screen star from Hollywood, complicates the worries of Bod- kins by making his sweetheart, Gertrude Butterwick, very jealous. Monty Bodkins is placed in a unique situation. He holds the key to everyone's troubles. including those of Ambrose Tennyson, Lotus Blossom. Reggie Tennyson and Mabel Spence. has spurned LE IIACCINTEUB THE SEVEN PILLARS OF WISDOM By T. E. Lawrence Reviewed by Ken Giffen The .vtuorul alto uzvuns clvaizizesx and dcallzf' -Lawrence's Motto. T. E. Lawrence reveals himself fully as a man who, though a scholar by instinct, lived a hard, dangerous and reckless life for the sake of his country. lt is writ- ten with a becoming modesty, and the scholar and artist is never entirely subordinated to the man of action. Some of England's leaders, Kitchener especially, were convinced in 1916 that an Arab revolt against the Ottoman Empire would relieve Britain of a great strain, and at the same time help her to defeat her enemies-Germany and Turkey. The British authori- ties, therefore, encouraged a revolt and promised aid. The sudden uprising of the Sherif of Mecca left Britain somewhat bewildered. The Arabian tribes did not present a unified front against Turkey, and it re- mained for Lawrence, a man who had pre-war knowl- edge of the Arab peoples, their lands and customs. to choose a suitable leader. Lawrence chose Feisal, one of the Sherif of Mecca's sons. Lawrence organized the Arabs into a formidable hghting unitg he changed their battle tactics by deploy- ment. The rebels struck on the western Flank of the Turkish defences and captured Mejh, on the Red Sea. Lawrezce and his men attacked the Medina railway, which was a line cutting the Turkish army. The attack was successful, and at this point Britain helped further by supplying war materials and soldiers. Allenby, one of the British commanders. depended a great deal on Arab support, and the influence of Lawrence. In the spring of l9lS, the Arabs had the task of cut- ting off the railway south of Derea. This distracted the forces of the Turks from Allenby in Palestine. The Constantinoble-Damascus line to the north of Derea was cut off at the same time, as a result. Allen- by's attack on Damascus was successful. Through Lawrence's influence, Damascus was made an inde- pendent Arab state, which Britain recognized. Thr Scwiz Pillars of ll'1'.vd0111 describes the lands and customs of the Arabs from the earliest times. It shows how much ore earnest man can do to help a nation.

The five hundred mile trip from .laara to Bombay is an over- night journey on the Delhi Mail, which carries His Majesty's mail up through India, so we reached Bombay in the early morning, and soon boarded the Japanese ship Ginyo Maru, which was to carry us homeward. The N.Y.K. steamships offer good accommodation, good food, and polite, smiling. service, making the passengers feel at home. XVe sailed southward along lndia's coral strand until we reached Colombo, Ceylon, which was our first stop. llere we spent an interesting afternoon in this beautiful, clean, broad-streeted Qriental city set among tall, slender palm trees. It rained while we were in Colombo, and the air was heavy with clove blossoms. Returning to the boat, we found that we were taking over a hundred deck pas- sengers, Indians who were travelling to the Straits Settlements to work in the rubber plantations. Deck passengers have no cabins, but sleep, live, cook and eat on deck at the rear of the boat. In such a mild climate such passage is not uncom- fortable if the weather remains fair. After hve days we reached Singapore, one of the famous British outposts of the Far East. a beautiful city built of white stone and roofed with red and grey tile. Singapore is an important naval base of the British Empire, so we planned, among other things, to visit the new Naval Headquarters, and were fortunate in being able to spend some hours on board I-l.N.S. Terror, one of the great grey destroyers that had played an important part in naval battles in the North Sea during the Great XVar. Xkihile in Singa- pore we visited a rubber plantation and a rubber factory, watching the process used in rubber mak- ing XVe were interested to learn that 75? of the rubber used in the United States comes from the Straits Settlements plantations via Singapore. Ville also visited the beautiful tropical Botanical Gar- dens, and the Zoo, where we saw many strange animals peculiar to that part of the world. Leaving Singapore, we sailed northeast up to Hong-Kong-another famous British outpost-a 38 city on a mountain, a well fortified mountain with its cannon pointing in all directions out to sea and its watch-tower on the mountain top. Here we saw many naval ships lying in wait ready for any emer- gency. One was conscious of alertness, power and efficiency-that is Britain. From Hong-Kong we sailed in a more northerly direction up the coast of China, past Byas Bay, the home of pirates, passing the great island of Formosa, until we reached Shanghai, a famous Chinese port. Shanghai used to be a seaport, but is now far up the Yangtze River, as year by year this great river pours tons of silt out into the ocean, extending the plains of China farther and farther out into what was the sea. From Shaighai, with its narrow streets and hus- tle and markets, we travelled by train to Nanking, the present capital of China. Nanking is a city in the making-new and bare-looking. Here we visited an American university and met many delightful Chinese students and professors, all keen on the building of New China, From Nanking we travelled by the Blue Express, one of China's few good rail- way lines, to North Honan, where we spent ten days full of interest, especially seeing the work done there by the United Church of Canada Mis- sion under Dr. Gordon Struthers and others. Again we took up the trail, travelling by night to Peiping -or old Peking, the old capital of China-where we spent three days seeing that which was the glory of China's past: the Forbidden City, with its magnificent old palaces with their yellow tiled roofs and high forbidding walls. But the Forbidden City, where once no foreigner might enter, is now a forsaken city, and its treasures and magnificence are but a musuem, a city with lchabod Written over it. There is something about China that gives one a feeling of sadness. XVe sailed again from Tientsin over the Yellow Sea to Japan, where we spent two interesting weeks in that progressive. efficient, alert Island Empire, where the very air is full of progress and intense patriotism. From Japan we sailed on the I-liean Maru via the Northern Pacific to Vancouver, the most beautiful port in the world-the gateway to our Canada. LE IIAIIINTIE Ull HAMILTON IN MOURNING By Ellen M. Wade It was strange, wasn't it, to walk down the streets in the business sections of the city and see the different ways in which different businesses expressed their sorrow for the death of our late King, George V? Large stores were elaborately draped, small stores and shops expressed their sorrow simply or not at all. I am sure that all of us saw Eaton's store. llraped as it was, in large quantities of purple and black material, with large shields bearing the initial G placed above every window, it presented a very im- posing appearance. I wonder how many of us saw the window of a small shoe-repairing shop on one of the busy down- town streets? Crowded with shoes of different styles, colours, and sizes, with no attempt at artis- tic arrangement, it immediately told you what it was-the dark, none-too-clean shoe-repairing shop of an immigrant from one of the European coun- tries, who probably could not speak English very well and perhaps could not read it at all. He had secured a newspaper clipping of our late King, mounted it on a piece of cardboard, set it up in a corner of his window and spread strips of purple and black crepe paper around it. Somewhat different from the draping of our large department stores. yet it expressed the same thingsthe mourn- ing of a nation for the death of a King.

A draftsman is a man who makes the language of industry express and record the information necessary for building machines and structures of all kinds. An inventor or designer often spends weeks, and even months, on some design or plan, because it is less expensive to make things work out on paper than to experiment with materials. The essential qualihcations of a good draftsman are the power to visualize, and the ability to make drawings with accuracy, clearness, technique, speed, and neatness. To do this, he must know: mathe- matics, physics and mechanics, chemistry, and English. Further, a draftsman needs a working knowledge of all shops, that he may design his work in such a way that it can be economically produced. Drafting is not, therefore, just a matter of draw- ing straight and curved lines. It is, rather, the hardest subject in our technical course, because it embraces all the rest. THE WOODWORKING SHOP By Charles Bartolotta To the average student, a tree is just part of the general scenery, but, to the VV'oodworking student. it is an absolute necessity, providing man with food, heat, shelter, clothes, comforts, means of defence, and implements of agriculture. The standing tree has only 40 per cent. wood value, the remainder is used for wall boards, tanning dyes, pulp, etc. Moreover, the lumber value of the log does not exceed 40 per cent. That is why the woodworker has so high a regard for all trees. So small an article as the lectern, from which morning prayers are read in the auditorium, required 600 board feet of tree, and, incidentally, this lectern was made by the Woodworking specials. The equipment of the Westdale Technical VVood- working Department is probably the most modern in the country. The machinery in it is, for the most part, direct motor-driven, which eliminates loss of power, and the danger of loose belting. The hand tools used in the shops are of the very best makes, and are exactly like those used by skilled craftsmen in the various woodworking trades. The shop con- tains enough benches for 638 stuclentsg of these -lfi are single or individual benches. Each student is supplied with a bench kit of tools, and special tools can be obtained by the class leader at any time. General woodworking is taught to beginners. They start by making camp stools, tabourets, small tables, medicine chests, candlesticks, etc. More advanced students are taught carpentry, cabinet making, and, if they desire, carving. Jobs for vari- ous parts of the school are done by specials Pattern making is taught to those students who are going to follow an engineering course, and to the woodwork specials. Patterns for metal castings, forgings, and sheet metal products are made. Each pattern introduces new problems, such as: levers, wheels, gears, pulleys, core boxes, etc. Patterns of parts of cars for the Motors Department, and special ones for the Machine Shop are made by the woodwork specials. Practically all articles of metal are cast from patterns made of wood. The cleanliness and bright atmosphere of the VVoodworking Shop make the work of the students in it a healthful and agreeable task. THE MOTORS DEPARTMENT By C. Strohm If you have ever rambled along the lower cor- ridor of the VVestdale Technical School, you have passed the department of the handy man-The Motors Department. But have you ever been inside? Visit it some time. lts grease slingersn are quite harmless. They are. indeed, a happy and agreeable lot, for they realize that they are working at a job which will be open so long as automobiles and aeroplanes are used. All types and makes of cars are brought into the school. In some, the boys install heaters: in others, rear axles and transmissions are repaired. lt is sometimes dihicult to iind the trouble in the older cars because of the sqeaks, rattles, and knocks. but the boys are nothing if not persistent. , The building of tractors gives the students all kinds of experience-bending iron. drilling holes. cleaning and washing parts, and sometimes the manufacture of parts. This course also includes instruction in the painting and decorating of the tractor when it is finished. 41 LE BACIDNTEUB PRINTING DEPARTMENT By Russ Brown Q-Ind this our noble art of Printing is the very fosfrr motlzvr of all Icarizizigg for although the few had books before John Gzftvizlvzzrg gow us our arf, no! until Priiifiazg rome could Lc't1rizz'1:g, yea. and lI'isdouz also, knork at carry 11za1z s door. -From the Latin of Cardelius, 1546. It is indeed fitting that Printing is being taught to-day to pupils in Secondary Schools. Perhaps too few people realize just what this noble art has meant to the civilized world. VVithout Printing, civilization would perish, and with it all other arts except the barbaric. In addi- tion to its cultural power, Printing has become the most influential force in Commerceg the best means of bringing sellers and buyers together. Beginning with Columbus, who found the philo- sophical theory of a round world printed in a book and became immortal by proving the theory to be a fact, a newer and greater world was discovered, chiefly through incentive found in printed books. XVith the introduction of power-driven factories came the necessity for wider markets, too extensive to control by word of mouth. Printing was gradu- ally found to be the most economical and effective sales agency and the printer thus became premier in the cabinet of King Commerce. To-day, Printing is one of the leading industries of the world, em- ploying thousands of skilled workers in its many branches. The Printing students of lVestdale are under the able guidance of Mr. H. C. Hawes, our new instructor, who has given us many valuable pointers on Printing. The course includes, not only Printing, but its many related subjects, such as History of Printing, Art, English, Mathematics and other subjects con- nected with Printing itself. In the later part of the course, the students receive a more intensive and practical training in designing and printing many fine pieces of work. A VISIT TO THE BERTRAM WORKS By R. C. Snider The other day I was privileged to spend a very profitable hour on a visit to the Bertram Wforks, Dundas. An invitation was sent to the school for a group of students to go out and see a mine hoist, machinery used to haul ore from the depths of the earth to the surface, where man changes it to suit his many needs. VX'e arrived at the plant at about 42 three o'clock and passed through the machine-shop, which was divided, by the construction of the build- ing, into long aisles. Passing up the first aisle we noticed on either side of us shaping machines which were in various stages of assemblage. Une, built in the plant and completely assembled, was dem- onstrated to us, and it seemed remarkable the ease with which so many operations could be performed. The mine-hoist, which we then saw, weighed a total of twenty-nine tons, and the drums that the cables were wound on had diameters of about fifteen feet. The small governor at one side seemed to fade into insignihcance when it was compared to the drums it controlled. The next aisle we reached seemed to be the busiest part of the shop. On a large milling- machine they were cutting a gear twelve or more feet in diameter, having teeth two inches wide. Overhead, cranes rattled up and down, hoisting at one end of the building a small wheel, then moving to the other end and picking up a whole machine weighing half a ton. lVe saw men working on castings valued at hundreds of dollars, rings of stainless steel for a paper pulp mill and machining the insides of various shaped pieces of cast metal. Thus we left the machine-shop to pass on to the pattern-making end of the business. On entering the pattern-shop we were greeted by a silence broken only occasionally by the hum of a saw, put in use for a few minutes, then shut off. Yet here was the connecting link between the inventor's ideas and the hnished article, what- soever it might be. Man has reached a stage in his existence where he cannot do without the pat- tern-making trade, and few people seem to realize its importance. Here we saw patterns that a small pocket would hold, and others that required large crates to transport them any distance. Wie also noticed many points about which we are taught in our own pattern-making department. Back of the pattern-shop was the foundry, and here again were illustrated for us points which we sometimes found hard to see. XVe saw how they dug places in the Floor into which they poured the molten metal. They were not working that after- noon, but the cupolas or furnaces were there to see, as well as parts of the moulds themselves. We passed through a small door into the sunshine of the afternoon and we felt that our time had been well spent. LE IIACIINTEUB A Short History of the Illympic Games By H. W. Bentley N THE year 1896 there were held in Athens, Greece, the first modern Olympic Games. They were a great success. The cream of the amateur sportsmen of many countries participated in vari- ous contests and the event was hailed as visible evidence of the ties that still unite the nations of the world. In view of the fame these games have gathered to themselves in our modern world, and the widespread interest that has been created in them, it would indeed be interesting to delve into their history. The event of 1896 was the revival of the most prominent and elaborately observed of all the Greek religious festivals. The festival took the shape of funeral games, celebrated in honour of Zeus. The Sacred Grove, containing the sanctuaries con- nected with the games, lies in the territory of Pisa. in the shelter of Mount Cronus, at the junction of the Claudeus and Alpheus Rivers. The people of Pisa controlled the Games at the outset, but the Eleans, a stronger race from the north, eventually gained control of them. At this time a legend came to light claiming Hercules founded the Games, and that they were revived by the Spartan Lycurgus, and the Elean king Iphitus in the year 776 B.C. In ancient days time was often reckoned from the Olympic festivals. The year 776 BC. marked the beginning of such reckoning, and the four years after it were known as the first Olympiad, the sec- ond Olympiad beginning in 772 B.C. Originally there was little interest in the Games beyond the territory of Pisa. Their popularity spread through the Peloponeseus, and by the end o fthe sixth cen- tury B.C. they hade become famous wherever the Greek tongue was spoken. The original Games were run under very trying conditions. The heat at the time of the Games, late in june or early in july, was so intense as to be almost unendurable in the Sacred Grove. On account of the heat the men were forced to com- pete in the nude. Womexi were excluded from competing in or observing the Games by the reli- gious and moral ideas of that time. For a space of ten months before the Games, those who wished to compete in the Games underwent a course of training in the gymnasium at Elis. This occurred in the days when Elis held control of the Games. from 776 B.C. almost to the time of the Roman conquest of Greece. The Elean judges decided who was to be allowed to participate in the Games from their performance in the training period and later decided the winners in the actual contests. In historic times the Games always began with a sacrifice to Zeus, and ended with a feast, the inter- mediate time being reserved for the athletic con- tests. The Games probably never lasted more than live days altogether. The Games began their existence with a single event, a foot race on un- prepared, dusty ground, for a distance uf 4300 yards. The racing tracks were not added till a later date. Gradually new events were added, the lirst being another foot race, twice the length of the first. .Xt the eighteenth festival the Pentathlon was incor- porated in the program. The word itself means contest in live kinds, and the llentathlon consisted of contests in running, jumping, casting the spear and the discus, ending with wrestling. The next innovation was the boxing tournament. But box- ing of those days little resembles the popular sport of our day. The arms and hands of the contestants were wrapped with leather and iron bands, making the sport exceedingly dangerous for the com- petitors. In 680 BC., the four-horse chariot race was introduced along with the Pancratium. The chariot race became the most popular event of the Games, being run nine times around the hip- podrome. a distance of nine miles. The li2l.llCI'Elll'LlIll was never far behind it in point of popularity. The Pancratium was a particularly cruel combat, containing all the worst features of the boxing and wrestling contests. The winner was decided upon when his opponent was utterly incapable of carry- ing on with the light. The only other major inno- vation of the Games was the race for heavy-armed soldiers, introduced in the year 520 A.D. This is the probable program: First day-Sacrifice to Zeus. Second day-Chariot races, horse races, Pent- athlon. Third day-Boys' events. Fourth daysllens foot races, wrestling, boxing. Pancratium, race in armour. Fifth day-Feast. The Olympian ceremonies grew out of the fam- ous Greek funeral rites. The festival expressed the Greek way of honouring their gods by popular and tumultuous rejoicing. The athletic contestants had to be of pure Hellenic blood, and it is to be noted that they became most popular during the 43 I1 4. :LRE 'f em -. ....,.., J... . 56. . uf Qr. , . 13' -- 1-5325 - Q11 --.

On the approach of the festival. heralds were sent into all the Greek States and Colonies to proclaim a sacred truce. The officials must have held a tremendous power, for Sparta, the most powerful state of the time, once had to pay an extremely heavy fine for taking up arms during the sacred truce. Even the famous and powerful Pliilip of Macedon had to apologize for an insult made to an Olympic visitor by one of his soldiers. Several interesting stories have been uncovered in connection with the Games. The prizes were originally tripods and other objects of value, but in the seventh Olympiad the crown of wild olive was introdced on the advice of the Delphic oracle. XYhen a winner of an Olympic contest returned home with his crown of wild olive, a section of the wall of the town was torn down, so that he did not have to enter the town through the gate. The sig- niticance of this act was that, when the town had such stalwart young men to defend it, it had no need for walls as a protection. The competitors in these Games were definitely not amateurs. Although the prize the victor received at the Games was in- significant as far as monetary value went, when he returned with that crown to his native city it meant great privileges for him. By the Law of Solon, Athenian winners were given a sum of 500 drach- mas. ln most cities a winner was exempted from taxation and given other privileges, among which was the use of the best seat in the local theatre free. Any Spartan victor was unable to take money because of the moral code of his race, but he was given the honour of fighting in his king's immediate bodyguard in battle. Polydamas was 0116 of the he-man heroes of the Games. He won his reputation in the Pancratium, where he was acknowledged as the greatest athlete ever to win it. He played tricks on the charioteers. He merely reached out one hand, grabbed the back of the chariot and stopped the whole contraption, the four horses included! At one of the Olympic festivals he is on record for killing a lion. But he was also rather absent-minded. He took to swing- ing bulls about his head. That was all right till one day he forgot to let go of a poor beast soon enough, and the bull went winging its way from Polydamas minus its four hoofs, which remained in the cruel, thoughtless hero's hands! Kleomedes was a rather upsetting sort of chap. He killed a man in the boxing tournament and he was very upset when the judges did not give him 44 the prize he had won. Needless to say, this bold Greek was angry, so he went back home and into the town school house. There he pulled away the pillar that supported the roof and upset the build- ing. Although this strong fellow was not killed, it is said to relate that he upset permanently some fifty scholars in the building at the time. The story does not tell us what they did to Kleomedes for his nefarious deed-perhaps they did not indulge in strong literary language in those days. After the Romans conquered the Greeks, they supervised the Olympics and lifted the ban on for- eigners competing. It is interesting to note there are names of Roman emperors and notables on the roll of Olympic victors. In the year 396 A.D., the Games were terminated by an edict of the Roman Emperor, Theodosius. But in 1896, exactly 1500 years later, they were again revived in Athens, Greece. Among the races was a long distance run from Marathon to Athens, held in honour of the gallant run of Phidippides during the Persian Inva- sion to give news in Athens of the rout of the Persians at Marathon. The games at Athens aroused the spirit of amateur athletic competition throughout the world and the Olympic Games have become a permanent feature of our national life. At four-year intervals athletes from many different countries have gath- ered to compete for the honours in various events. The rewards for the victors are now medals, in place of the wild olive crowns of the original Games. Games were held at Paris in 1900, at St. Louis in 1904, at London in 1908, at Stockholm in 1912. The meet scheduled for Berlin in 1916 was cancelled on account of the war. However, the Games were resumed with even greater success than before at Antwerp in 1920, again at Paris in W24, at Amsterdam in 1928, and at Los Angeles in 15132. This year the Games are being held in Ger- many. At the time of writing the winter section of the Games has already been completed, with the national honours going to Norway. The varied program was held in the German Alps at Garmisch- Partenkirchen, and in spite of the squabbling that took place among the officials, the Games were a great success. ln 1932, at Los Angeles, about two thousand athletes took part in the contests, but it it hoped that Berlin will surpass that mark this summer. ln conclusion, may we dare to hope that the committee room squabbling that has marked the winter games will be non-existent during the summer session! PIIRT BOYS' SPORTS Editor, A Vila The season of 1935-36 has seen the banner of VVestdale raised high in every field of sport in which the school participates. The first sports activity since the last edition of Le Raconteur was track. A small but speedy squad made a fine showing at the Dis- trict Meet, and shared the hon- ours with Delta and Tech. Dur- ing the Spring and Summer months, VVestdale was excellently represented in the great sport of rowing by our eight-oared crew. The Autumn of 1935 saw our football teams again striving for the league championships, The Senior squad, coached by Vince Bryant, was one of the best ever produced by the school, and de- serves much credit for the great Fight that they put up. The Jun- ior team, ably tutored by jim Gilliland, started the season as if they were going to take the NVentworth trophy again. They lost many valuable players to the Seniors, however, and were de- feated in the semi-finals. This Winter the school hockey team, coached by Bill Smith, have turned in fine performances in the exhibition games that they have played so far. If there had been an Interscholastic Hockey League this year, VVestdale would have repeated the achievements of last year's championship team. The Senior and junior basket- ball squads, under the instruc- tions of Coach Allan, are now half way through their schedules. The Seniors are in third place, but are expected to pull up on the leaders in their remaining games. The juniors have a very good chance of winning their title, for they are now in second place, one game behind Commerce.

Westdale 8 - Delta 6 In their first Senior Interschol- astic rugby game, NVestdale's gridders broke into the win col- umn by dusting off the Delta boys to the score of S-6. It was a clean, even battle all the way, and a line display of rugby. The XVestdalites had a decided edge in the first part of the play. Their line held well, enabling Duncan and Lumsden to lift away their beautiful punts with plenty of time to spare. The backs were safe and sound in the majority of their catches. Duncan started the booting for VVestdale, and gained the first point by a kick to the deadline. Lumsden came on when Duncan was injured, and kicked another deadline to put XVestdale two points up. Delta then adopted the forward pass method of attack, but most of their attempts were knocked down or intercepted. Fine kick- ing by johnson, and a XVestdale penalty, put Delta within striking distance of our line. Schwenger then plunged the ball four or five successive times to carry it over for a touchdown. Johnson con- verted, to make the half-time score T'-fi. Early in the third stanza, a twenty-five yard pass, from Hal- ford to Awrey, paved the way for a single, the last score of the game. As the game was ending, Delta tried forward passes in an attempt to score, but VVestdale's kicking kept the enemy out uf the danger zone. Cathedral High 7 - Westdale 3 XYestdale next came up against the Fighting Irish, from Cathe- dral. in an exciting game, for the leadership of the group was at stake. Although the Orange and Green lost, it was only after a close. well-played fixture that was not decided until the final whistle. For the losers, Duncan's pivot work and kicking, the open-field running uf the .-Xwreys, the line work of Halford and Webber, and Ferguson's tackling, were out- standing. XYestdale's end runs were often successful in gaining yards. Starting against th e wind, XYestdale was forced back on each exchange of kicks. A blocked kick on XVestdale's five-yard line was pounced upon by Jordan for Cathedral's touchdown, which was unconverted. A long run by Lumsden to recover his own kick, and a plunge for yards by How- ard Awrey, put XVestdale in a scoring position. An attempted placement was blocked, but XVest- 45 LE BACIINTEUB dale got possession again on I1 lllue fumble, Duncan kicked ti the deadline. He followed with a touch-in-goal, after Howard Awrey had run a kick back fif- teen yards. After much play at centre-field, Duncan took a short kick at the Gael quarter, and Howard Awrey went around the end for fifteen yards. Another attempted placement failed. and the half endcd without further score. Layden started the second half by recovering his kick-off and running to the Westdale quarter. He then booted to the deadline to make the score ti-2. Duncan intercepted a Gael forward and completed one for XYestdale. He followed with a long kick that forced Layden to 1'ouge. After :i XYestdale fumble. and successive line plunges for yards, Layden forced Howard Awrey to rouge. In the final period XVestdale kept Cathedral on their line. but were unable to score. Wlestdale tried a forward passing attack that did not produce any scoring' and the game ended Cathedral T, Westdale 3. Tech 18 - Westdale 15 Une of the greatest upsets -if the season came when Tech de- feated XYestdane in the last min- ute of play on a blocked kick that resulted in a touchdown. XYest- dale's playing was far better than that of the Engineers, but the lat- ter took advantage of eve1'y break and gained many points in this way. After the kick-off, XYestdale forced Tech back on an exchange of kicks. A fumble behind the Tech line was recovered by How- ard Awrey to give XVestdale an unconverted touchdown, The teams settled down to aerial war- fare, with Duncan outdistancing the efforts of the Technicians. The quarter ended as Duncan kicked to the deadline. 46 Wlestdale kept Tech with their backs to the wall, and after a twenty-yard forward pass, Dun- can to Howard Awrey, Hill caught Duncan's onside kick for a major score, which the latter converted. XX'estdale continued to press with line plunges, but two forward passes were inter- cepted. After a fumble by lYest- dale on her fifteen-yard line, May of Tech, plunged over for an un- converted touchdown. Illay con- tinued at centre-Field. A Tech kick, that went over the XVest- dale back's head, was flopped on by May for a converted major score. The half ended XYestdale 12. Tech 11. The third period did not pro- duce any scoring except when Howard Awrey was rouged by hlohnston, after Tech had blocked a XYestdale kick. In the final stanza, Duncan's kicking kept Tech on the defensive, and re- sulted in three singles for West- dale. XYith but a few minutes to play, Westdale had the ball at centre-field. and to the fans it seemed all over but the shouting. Duncan attempted a kick, but Tressam broke through, blocked the kick, and carried the ball over the line to win the game for Tech. The touchdown was converted, and the final score was Tech 18, Westdale 15. Westdale 7 - Central O XYestdale downed the league- leading Central gridders in a sea of mud to win the right to enter the league playdowns. It was Duncan's outstanding kicking that produced all the points for XYestdale. The Awrey brothers, Howard and Hardy, gave a fine performance of open-fieid running to keep Central continually on the defensive. Central did not get out of their own territory except for a few minutes in the third quarter. The game opened with both teams attempting forward passes. This form of attack did not pro- duce results, and the players set- tled down to plunging and kick- ing. The scoring was opened when Savage was rouged on one of Duncan's long hoists. After a Central fumble, Duncan booted to the deadline. He then added an- other single when he forced Sav- age to rouge on another kick. In the second period the Red and Black line stiffened, and XVestdale's gains in kicking were offset by line plunges by Hotz and Etherington. XVestdale's fourth point came when Goshgar- ian was rouged on Duncan's kick. Westdale continued to have the edge on the play in the third quarter. Tindale blocked and gathered in an attempted kick by Annan: Duncan booted to the deadline. This was repeated after a few minutes of play to make the score 6-0. As the game neared its close, Central attempted many for- wards, but could not complete them. Duncan's kicking kept Central in her own territory, and added the seventh point by means of another deadline. Semi-Final Central 9 - Westdale 1 NVestdale played off with Cen- tral in this semi-final game. Hopes were running high that the team would repeat the 7-O defeat handed out to the Red and Black at our last meeting. But a vastly improved Central came out on the muddy field and emerged victors by a score of 9-1. For XVestdale, Duncan got the soggy ball away on some fine hoists. On the back division, Misener and the Awrey brothers shone, while Vingoe, VVebber, and Wfheeler, did some nice work in the line. Central started the scoring in the first quarter when Awrey was rouged on a kick by Szumlinski. In the second quarter Central swept down the field in a series of m-vpm-,..n.-- SENIOR BOYS' RUGBY FRONT ROW-J. Ferguson, Howard Awrey, G. Lambo, D. Duncan lCaptainJg J. Larnbo, N. Smith, T.

Westdale 9 - Central 1 VVestdale started the junior Interscholastic rugby season on the right foot by defeating Cen- tral by the score of 9-1 at the H.A.A.A. grounds. Kernaghan did all the scoring for NVestdale, gaining two placements and three rouges. His kicking was the outstanding feature of the game. Hargreaves, at quarter, handled his team in daring man- ner .to put them in scoring posi- tions, and then was content to lay back and play sound defensive football. Foley was the best of the Orange and Green linemen. Newton also turned in a very commendable performance. In this game XYestdale looked like one of the outstanding teams in the junior group. Westdale 18 - Commerce 0 llfestdale I u n io r s , showing much greater ability than the Of- fice Boys, took the lead of their 48 group by riding roughshod over Commerce to the tune of 18-0. The first quarter was scoreless. In the second stanza, Foley car- ried the ball over for a touch- down, and Kernaghan booted three singles. The third quarter saw Souter intercept a Commerce lateral pass and run twenty yards for a touchdown. Freeman kick- ed two singles to make the count Fifteen. In the closing minutes of the game Kernaghan kicked a placement to complete the total. Kernaghan, Foley, Hargreaves and XValker played well for the Orange and Green. Delta 12 - Westdale 2 Delta Collegiate upset the dope in the junior Football League when they took the strong Vtfest- dale team into camp by the score of 12-2. VVestdale turned in a steady brand of football, but were not equal to the flashy play of Delta. Delta had a decided edge in the play of the First quarter, but were unable to score. An attempted placement went wide and was run out by our backs. In the second quarter Freeman had a kick blocked and Yost, of Delta, fell on it for a major score, uncon- verted. lfVestdale then marched up the field, and Freeman booted to Miller, who was rouged. The half ended 6-1. At the beginning of the second half, Freeman scored again when Hughes was rouged on his kick. Then Hughes ran thirty yards to get another touchdown for Delta. Miller nearly got a third touch- down when he picked up a bad snap and ran thirty-five yards. Delta made it twelve in the final quarter by a deadline by Miller and the final score was Delta 12, NVestdale 2. Westdale 4 - Cathedral 4 This hard-fought game between Westdale and Cathedral had about as close a finish as ever seen in Interscholastic rugby. All the way through the game it looked as if VVestdale would down the Gaels. VVith two min- utes to go, we were leading 4-1, but the team was on the defens- ive, fighting in its own territory. The ball was fumbled, Cathedral secured possession, and after VVestdale held the aggressors for two downs, Begin kicked a beau- tiful placement to tie the score at 4-4. Semi-Final Delta 1 - Westdale 0 Counting their only point in the first quarter, when Miller kicked to the deadline, and then holding off their pressing opponents until the final whistle, Delta defeated lVestdale by the score of 1-O in the junior Interscholastic Rugby semi-final. This put XVestdale out of the running, while Delta went on to win the title. Delta opened with an attack of end runs, which helped their of- fensive considerably. After Hughes and Taylor combined for twenty yards, Miller kicked the winning point. The kicking hon- ours were even for the first half. Tom Kernaghan had a slight edge in the second half, but could not get the points necessary to win. He kicked the ball over the Delta goal-line several times, b u t Hughes, fleet-footed flying wing for the winners, ran them all out to save the game for his team. In the last quarter, Feeney re- covered a Delta fumble fifteen yards out from their line, but in- stead of trying for an almost cer- tain single, it was decided to at- tempt a placement. This was blocked, and Delta got the ball to win the game. Besides Kernaghan's kicking, Foley did some effective plung- ing, and Bawtinheimer played well. LE IIACUNTEUII TRACK The Westdale track squad made its 1935 debut at the Indoor Track Meet at the Armouries in March. The only event in which Wfestdale secured a place was the half-mile relay, in which we came second. The team, Ferguson, Slaght, Awrey and Lumsden, ran a great race only to be beaten on the last leg by the black flash. Sammy Richardson, running for Toronto Central Tech. At the District Meet at Scott Park, each member of the team turned in a commendable per- formance, and as a result VVest- dale was tied with Delta and Tech for the meet championship. In the Senior quarter, Tom Malloy ran a lovely race to se- cure second. VVhitey Frid cleared eleven feet to take the Senior pole vault with ease. Don Duncan and K. Clarke were first and third, respectively, in the high jumpg Clarke also placed third in the discus throw. J. Har- rison came in third in the 880. Wfestdale as usual captured a large share of the honours in the Intermediate competition. Jack Ferguson was first in the 120 yards hurdles, and third in the 100 yards dash. Howard Awrey won the 440. V. Reid was third in the half-mile, F. Curry second in the shot put. The half-mile relay, consisting of Awrey, Fer- guson, Slaght and Lumsden, won their event in fast time. In the junior events, Young was second in both the 100 and 220 yards dashes. The winners of the District Meet went on to Toronto the fol- lowing week to the Ontario cham- pionships. Here the competition was much keener, and Westdale had to be content with three thirds, Tom Malloy in the Senior 440, Whitey Frid in the Senior- pole vault, and Jack Ferguson in the Intermediate hurdles.

In this wide-open game Central got going sooner than our eagers and scored 153 points in the iirst half, to nre for VVestda1e. In tl1e see- ond period Westdale played much better, and l1eld tl1e winners to thirteen points, while our boys ran up thirteen, Don Olson was high scorer for Westdale, with eleven of tl1e eighteen points to 11is credit. Misener added three 111ore. Delta 27 - Westdale 23 T11 tl1eir next fixture, played at tl1e east-end gym, 1X'estdale's basketeers Could 11ot break their losing streak. Tl1e encounter was spectacular and closely fought, as tl1e score indicates. Tl1e winner was 11ot decided u11til tl1e last few minutes of play. Olson again led tl1e scoring for XYestdale, sinking twelve points. Hill a11d Awrey accounted for four apiece. Westdale 27 - Cathedral 20 Tl1e senior tea111 won its First game of tl1e season w11e11 it play- ed on Catl1edra1's floor. Tim Hill netted twelve points for his team, mostly on his sensational long shots. Don Olson, the Swedish flash, turned in another good per- formance as he sank six points. On tl1e rear division, Lowry and Hardy Awrey continually broke up Catl1edral's plays, besides scoring seven points between t11em. LE IIACIDNTEUR Westdale 21 - Commerce 18 Gur cagers completed the first half of their schedule by downing Commerce on our own floor. This was the closest game yet played, as Commerce led most of the way through the game, but Westdale scored six points in the last five minutes to win. Misener and Hardy Awrey each played a nice game to turn in eight points apiece. Hill completed the total with five. Central 34 - Westdale 17 In their second meeting with Central, the Westdale boys were again beaten by'.the league-lead- ers. In the first half, play was close, and at half-time. Central was only leading by two points, having scored eleven to VVest- dale's nine. But when the play- ers returned to the floor, the boys from Central ran wild and out- scored our basketeers 23-8. Hill and Olson between them chalked up thirteen points for the losers. JUNIOR BASKETBALL Team members: Guards, Studd and Kernaghang centre, Lynng forwards, Inrig and Somervilleg alternates, McNeil, lVheal, Gold- berg, Hamann, McFarlane, Westdale 24 - Central 20 The Junior cagers started the season on the right foot by de- feating Central in a thrilling game played on our floor. Al Somer- ville looked the best for VVest- dale, scoring fifteen of his team's twenty-four points. Delta 22 - Westdale 21 A last-minute basket by Isbister turned an apparent victory into defeat, in this junior game played on Delta's floor. Somerville again scored fifteen points, and Inrig, on the same forward line, sank four. Westdale 20 - Cathedral 16 In their third game, Westdale Juniors handed out a defeat to the Irish. The forward line of Inrig, Lynn and Somerville, com- bined in fine fashion to score six- teen points, and Tom Kernaghan, on defence, brought the total up to twenty. Commerce 17 - Westdale 15 Westdale dropped another close junior game in this encounter with the High School of Com- merce. During the first session XYestdale had to be content with five points, compared to the ten that Commerce scored. After the rest period, our cagers came back strong, but Commerce managed to retain the lead. although it was cut down to two points. Lynn and Somerville starred for XVest- dale, scoring thirteen points be- tween them. Westdale 19 - Tech 9 VVestdale's junior team next trounced the Engineers in a slow game that was played on the Wentworth Street floor. West- dale led all the way. The team was ahead by a score of 13-6 at half-time, and outscored Tech 6-15 in the final period. This game ended the first half of the junior schedule, with Westdale in sec- ond place, one game behind Com- merce. Since Commerce defeat- ed our boys by only two points in our first meeting, our chances for the junior title are very bright. Westdale 23 - Central 15 Our Junior squad had a big margin in the play of this game on Central's floor. They took the lead from the start, and were never headed. The five regulars, Studd, Kernaghan, Inrig, Lynn and Somerville, played the whole game and combined together in excellent fashion. HOCKEY Team members: Menet, Mac Paddon, Marriot, Awrey, Laird, Swan, Lloyd Paddon, Southwick, Vingoe, Frid, Duncan, Knight. After a very successful hockey season last year, which brought to lVestdale the City Interschol- astic title, it was decided to again form a hockey 'team and try to repeat our success. ln order to raise funds to support the team, a show was put on last Fall in the auditorium. Many well- known figures in Hamilton sport. including Sam Manson, as Mas- ter of Ceremonies, Huck XYelch. of football fame, and Syl .-Xpps and George Xllillianison, of the Tiger lloekey Club, appeared in support of the team. Then the other collegiates decided not to have a hockey league this year. Consequently, our team had to play exhibition games to hll out the season. Westdale 2 - Commerce 2 The hockey team played its first exhibition game at the Bar- ton Street Arena against the High School of Commerce. lt was a rather slow game, as our team had not played together enough, and the combination was not clicking. One of the features of the game was KIenet's goal- tending. He continually batted down shots that seemed almost certain to score. The scoring was opened in the first period, when a Commerce attack, completed by a nice pass- ing play, beat Menet, to put Com- merce in the lead. In the second canto, Don Duncan banged in a long shot to tie the score, Com- merce again went into the lead when the puck was batted in dur- ing a scramble in front of our net. Lloyd Paddon retaliated with a long shot to make the score 2-9. There was no scoring in the final period, and the game ended 2-2. Pickering College 5 - Westdale 3 XVestdale's hockey team next travelled to Newmarket to play Pickering College Firsts. :Xl- though the boys were unsuccess- ful, they made a fine showing against this team.

In the first period both teams scored a goal, XYestdale's on a solo effort by Frid. In the second stanza, Stevenson put Pickering one up and then added another at the beginning of the third period. Friil scored his second goal on a pass from Yingoe. Pickering then scored two more goals to clinch the game. Westdale tried a power play. but could only get one goal, when Lloyd Paddon bulged the twine. Kitchener 5 - Westdale 2 In a thrilling hard-fought battle played at Kitchener, Kitchener Collegiate defeated XVestdale by the score of 5-2. Uur team miss- ed many scoring chances that might have won the game. The encounter was fast and clean from start to finish, with only one penalty being handed out. Yin- goe and Duncan did the scoring for lYestdale. ROWING By Albert Duflin Although few of the students knew it, Westdale had an eight- oared crew last Summer. Last March Mr. Hunter asked for vol- unteers, and out of about twenty fellows who turned out, a crew was formed. The boys trained strenuously all Spring and Slllll- Leander Boat Club. coached by Mr. Earl mer at the They were Eastwood. The crew's first race was on the 2-lth of May at the Leander regat- ta on the bay. Out of two boats in the race, we came second. On .luly lst we raced at Toronto. Al- though we had the outside lane of a curved course. we flashed across the line a good second to Bloor Collegiate of Toronto. XYe had better luck at the Cale- donia Regatta, and won by a boat-length. Our last race was at the Henley Regatta at St. Cath- arines. After breaking a few oars 54 and banging into a few shells, we managed to come in third. In this race we bet our sweaters against the hats of the Buffalo lYestsides. NVe still have their hats. The fellows who made up the crew are, from bow to stern: Jimmie McKenna, Stew Inman, 'lim Hill, Chuck Marriot, Reg. XVheeler, Ben Sharpe, Bill Haight, Gordon Tindale, and Albert Duf- fin, coxswain. During July, Mc- Kenna hurt his wrist, and his place was taken, in different races, by Dick Gill and Couzan Sanzon. BADMINTON By Marguerite Clark During the last six years, bad- minton has rapidly become more popular in XYestdale, and is grad- ually taking its place among the major sports. It may interest the students to know that the Bad- minton Club is one of the few self-supporting ones in the school. XYords of praise should be voiced in favour of our coach, Mr. H. E. Inman, who has spent so much of his time and who has diligently coached each individual player on the team. His efforts have not been in vain, however, for once more XVestdale Badminton team have become the city champs. They also hold a well-earned vic- tory over the McMaster Univer- sity team. Tribute has been paid to previ- ous teams, but for the members of this year's team congratula- tions are in order. Faced with the loss of such stars as Mary Cattell. Betty Chubbuck, Mary Eager, Velma Shaver, and Moira lYilliams, the remaining three veterans were not particularly en- thusiastic for the possibilities of this year's aggregation. How- ever, the girls practiced hard from the first few days of school in the Fall. Early in November the trials began and from the seventy- odd contestants the following earned these positions in order of merit: Muriel Cattell, school and interscholastic champion, Mar- guerite Clark, second best in the interscholastic, Betty I-Ioth, third best in the groupg then, Peggy McNeil, ,loan Jackson, Margaret Biggar, Eileen McDonald, Mary Bilton, and Betsy Harrison. Westdale at Central The matches with Central were fought with determination and ability, resulting in victory on the round, of Central 7, Westdale 33. The outstanding matches among the girls were .Muriel Cattell's rather one-sided triumph over the experienced Laura Dorsey, Cen- tral's best. Betty Hoth had little trouble defeating Kay Mc.-Xrthur in the second ranking singles match. Before the return match Marguerite Clark challenged and defeated Betty Hoth to earn the right to win the return match against Kay McArthur. Westdale vs. McMaster Cur ranking first and second players were outplayed but not outfought in the McMaster tour- nament. M. Cattell, to Win, would have to turn back the city and district ladies' champion. The scores were I-Ielen Bryce, McMaster, ll-2 and ll-5. Then Marg Clark drew as her opponent, Betty Chubbuck, of Thistle Club fame. We lost, but later received revenge by victor- ies in the ladies' and mixed doubles. The best singles match of the night was Betty Hoth's victory over Mary Eager, last year's champion at VVestdale. The youngest member of the team, Eileen McDonald, thoroughly trounced Miss Jamieson, of Mc- Master, an experienced player. ,Ioan jackson and Mary Bilton won single matches for the school. The girls also shared in six victories out of eight mixed doubles matches, an enviable rec- ord for the girls of 1936.

Stuart The game of golf is different from most other games inasmuch as it is played almost equally well by young and old. Cntil a few years ago. golf was thought to be a game for the elderly business man only. but young people. especially in secondary schools and universities, now participate. Several clubs have been formed in this district. lYestdale has had such a club for the last three years. Last year we visited the Dundas. Burlington and Cutten Fields Clubs. Among those who participated were: gl. Oates, A. Somerville, R. Stuart, D. Lynn, l. Gold- berg, B. Coulson. H. Magill, gl. Harstone. J. Miller, P. Henderson. B. Foster. G. Snell, A. Dow, and Y. Bridgewood. Many of the old boys also were present. This vear, due to the efforts of Mr. Galloway, the new pro. of the Dundas Valley Golf Club, a High School Golf League has been inaugurated. From every Collegiate in Hamilton, Hilltield. and Dundas two teams will be picked. One team will be com- posed of girls. and one of boys. Each team will consist of four players. selected after a qualifying round early in blune. Two handsome challenge trophies are being donated by the Dundas Golf Club.

The Dlodel Aircraft League of Canada coLoNEL BILLY BISHOP CHAPTER The aim of the Model Aircraft League of Canada is to teach its members the science of model aircraft construction. It also endeavours to keep them up to date with modern aviation. It encourages in- terest in the glamorous history of Canada's fight- ing airmen generally, and holds aloft. as an inspira- tion to the young, such fine records as that of our own patron. Ace Colonel Man. C. Bishop, Y.C., D.S.O., M.C. The senior students of our club give lectures in aviation to the juniors, and instruct them in vari- ous branches of construction work. It is the intention of the club to run, at an early date. a model meet in the gymnasium. At it, the models will compete for hrst place. Already our club is taking on a professional air.

Last year our one Senior team and one -lunior team made a good showing in the matches of the Dominion of Canada Rifle Asso- ciation. In the Canada-wide Royal Military College Match, our team captured eighteenth place out of sixty-eight. George Tinsley shot the highest average in the three D.C.R.A. matches. thus win- ning the silver Strathcona Medal, the Special D.C.R.A. Medal. and the school letter. In the same matches, the following won second- class bronze medals, in order of standing: George Tinsley, Dave YX'agner, Richard Snyder Gordon Tindale. Bill XYilkinson.

Sandy Craig's Good Deed CContinued from Page 145 At two in the afternoon, just before the race, Ralph Todd showed up, a sheepish look on his face. Clipper and Ralph warmed up their engines and went to the starting line. Boom! and the race was under way, with Ralph leading by a length. Gradu- ally, as they neared the third buoy, Clipper passed Ralph and took a sharp turn around it. Ralph showed poor management and was nearly swamped by Clipper's back-wash. As Clipper completed the third lap, he increased his lead from three to four lengths. As he crossed the line in front, the crowd went wild and Clipper Craig was the holder of an- other record. VVhen the police investigated the case fully, it was found that Ralph was mixed up with some shady smugglers. Ralph was tried and convicted. He was sentenced to live years' hard labour. XYhen Mr. Todd heard this, he made a clean breast of everything. He had embezzled a lot of the bank's money and to pay it back had persuaded Ralph to join the smugglers. Mr. Todd was given three years in the penitentiary. Shortly after, Clipper Craig took out adoption papers for Don. The three moved into a larger cabin, where they eat and sleep just like father and sons. Compliments of THE 0 ARCH LIFE ASSURANCE Co. A Life Insurance policy is a certificate of good character.

Looking into the loving, bright eyes of the dog, new hope came to him, and with it came a plan for his rescue. Nick was included in the plan. At Fort l'rovidence, the storm over, Dick llrownly was preparing to leave. As he was seated at the controls of the freshly refuelled plane, and the factor was bidding him a bon voyage, a dog loped across the runway in front of the aeroplane. A dog around Fort Providence was not an uncom- mon sight, but to the eyes of Brownly and the policemen, as they turned in its direction, there seemed to be only one dog at the fort, and that dog was unquestionably Nick. ln his mouth was a piece of a window blind. The dog turned his large head, and, seeing the two men, changed his direc- tion. Reaching the policeman and the pilot, he dropped the section of blind at their feet. Stark realization came to them instantly. Old Man Pete's dog and the piece of window blind meant one thing -the oldster was injured but had reached the cabin by the lake, his first stop. The piece of blind from the cabin window with the blood on it showed that. XYhat will we do F said the factor in a flat mon- otone. XYhat will we do? said Urownly emphat- ically. Get out in front of this bus and spin the prop, and l'll show you what I'm going to do! The aeroplane burst into life, and, waving his hand to the amazed factor, the plane rushed down the run- way and soon disappeared in the billowy haze of a large white cloud. Good thing this lake was here, mumbled llrownly as the skis settled on the snow and ice- covered lake. Now for what I may find in here, said the young pilot through tightly compressed lips, as he ran towards the cabin. Opening the door, he saw the old man crumpled in a heap on the floor. Old Man Pete felt warm arms lifting him np, and opening his eyes, he saw the youthful face of his rescuer. Good Nick! l knew he would make itg least l was hopin' he would, and, as if remem- bering soinething he had forgotten to say, the old man added: Thanks fer comin', young fellerg but don't take me back to Fort Providence. If you think yer airyplane 'll take us as far as the other end end of the route, let's go. My leg doesn't hurt so much now, now that help's come, and the mail must go through. You know there are people at Fort XYrigley waitin' fer it, said the white-haired mail carrier as he dropped off into the sleep of un- consciousness. The French of Quebec Cffontinued from Page 271 toonists are always putting it in ,lean Haptiste's mouth as patakes. llowever, it is a perfectly good classical French word, for I once ran across it in the famous old romance, Paul et Virginief' by Bernadin de St. Pierre. The city-bred French-Canadian of the working class does not speak as pure French as the country habitantg the fornier's speech is full of English words like job, fun, sport terms and the like, and he does not know the French words for wrench, punch, die and other mechanics' tools. llis women-folk ask for braid and other articles in the shops, using English names. llis articulation is slurred and his grammar pretty bad, too. If he comes from Northern Ontario, his writ- ten French is abominable. Eaton's and Simpson's keep a staff of experts to translate the letters of illiterate French-Canadians from Algoma and Nipissing Districts. Educated French-Canadians speak very good French indeed. In the secondary schools and uni- versities great attention is paid to the spoken language. The young men take to public speaking and electioneering with great zest. and I have heard at political meetings flights of the loftiest eloquence in real classical style. IVhen the heckling starts, the orator drops into the pungent vernacular. For fun and excitement and political oratory there is nothing to beat a Quebec political meeting. Our prominent French-Canadian statesman, poli- ticians, literary men and lawyers have many times been complimented by visiting French notables upon the purity of their diction and a certain flavour of the classical age of French literature. Sir NYilfrid Laurier was as highly regarded in Paris as he was in London. To be a Finished orator in two languages is no mean achievement. Dr. Frechette, Dr. Adjutor Rivard, and other literary lights have had their works crowned by the Academie Franeaise. The educational authorities of Ontario have awakened to the advantages of our close proximity to a French-speaking province. McGill University has for a long time conducted a summer school for English - speaking students. The students are pledged to use the French language exclusively during their stayg they are brought into contact with French people as much as possible, are given a thorough course in the phonetics of French and in French conversation. The University of Toronto gives a course for teachers at Sillery, near Quebec, and the Government of Quebec donates a medal to the best student.

UNDERWUUU ELLIOTT FISHER LTD. 67 KING STREET WEST PARIS IAN SANITARY LAUNDRY DRY CLEANERS BAKER 4652 62 tario, London, conducts a summer school for two months each summer at Trois Pistoles, on the south shore of the St. Lawrence opposite the mouth of the Saguenay. Here the students have the advan- tage of boarding with selected families, taking part in the family and social life of the village. The experiment has been a great successg the students and citizens of the village have formed a mutual admiration society and a lively correspondence between hosts and guests has frequently resulted after the students have returned to Ontario. Any English-speaking Canadian who has the am- bition to learn to speak French would do well to spend some time in the Province of Quebec. Pick out a small town or village where no English is spoken or go to some good vacation school. French- Canadians are very hospitable, kind and courteous, and take great pains to correct you, if you signify your desire to be corrected. The French you will learn will pass current anywhere, and it is easy to avoid the few dialecticisms. All educated French- Canadians speak good French. The Accidental Suicide of a Murderer Cffontinued from Page 121 One more question, said Hugh. In what con- dition was the weather when you heard the shot? yy It had just become very dull out. I know, be- cause I was reading and I reached up to turn on the light when I heard the shot. As I thought, said Hugh. He then started to break up the rocks in the mantel around the fault in the cement, and presently the muzzle of a .33 rifle could be seen. Hugh took hold of the gun and began to pull it from its lodging. Hearing a noise behind nie, I spun round, to see the standard lamp swinging to and fro without any visible means of support. Hugh! I gasped. Look behind you! Hugh looked round idly and then laughed. Oh, he said, I'll explain that in a minute. IVith that he gave a heave and the riHe came out of the mantel. Then he showed us a fine wire which ran from the chain switch of the standard lamp up to the ceiling. across it and down behind the fireplace. You see, gentlemen. explained Hugh. Gordon intended that the Major should sit in that chester- lield some time when light was required, pull that chain switch to turn on the light, and in that way shoot himself. However, Gordon made one fatal blunder. Being absent-minded, he pulled that chain switch himself. 'Y Criminal Investigation Department. Squid Harbour tContinued from Page 133 Betty looked at her and said, l dare you to walk around the deck three times. Pat went up on deck and began to circle it slowly. And as she walked, she thought, with just a tremour, of the shiny, slippery, squirming things that must be swimming in the water below her. She had completed her second round, and stopped to looked overboard, when something wet and slip- pery slid by her leg. lclorrorsl She jumped back. landed on a pile of rope, and fell. There were no low railings on the yacht, because its sailors were expected to be able, to stand on their own feet. The unprotected side made her path clear and, with a scream, she slid into the icy water. XN'hen she came up to the top, she gasped, shocked by the chill. ller eyes were full of water. The darkness blinded her. For several minutes. she propelled herself about, wildly. Then some- thing seized her round the Waist and pulled her- she knew not where. Wfhen Pat opened her eyes again Drake was leaning over her. You little idiot! he laughed. It was only a piece of hose. Pat looked up at him, and in the dark saw the dark, shining eyes that would have been blue in sunlight, gazing kindly down at her. And that was all she saw, for Betty, who could be counted on in an emergency, had sent the be- wildered Mr. Nelson in search of more chocolate creams.

A-19 Sport News The girls' basketball team of A-19 is a very good one-the best, we think. it has ever had. The girls worked very hard. but were up against a lot ot opposition. The players are: Florence Riley, the captain: Loreen Tyson, Joyce Graham, Suzanne Lynn. Pat Spence, Florence McClure. Bernice McDonald, Jacqueline Maxwell, Velva Metcalfe and Dorothea Rea. XVe also have several notable bad- minton players among the girls. As we have seen. the famous shoes, brought to our attention by Mr. In- man. now belong to a champion, although Ethel worked hard to keep up the good standards of A-19.

By Bruce Stuart Each and every one of the M-2 class would naturally like to know about his or her future. XVell! One day I had a chat with an astrologer, and 'ie told me some very interesting and pleasant things about our class as it would turn out twenty years from now-1956, To begin with, I asked him about Bob Gage. He told me that Bob may be on the radio as a crooner. replacing Rudy Vallee. As for Sherring-he will be running for Alderman in XVard Three, after having tried to graduate from St. Michael's College in Toronto. Bessie Burrie would also be a radio star--a blues singer over XYBEN. Bill Moody is to be an accountant in his father's coal business-a good end. Tskl Tsk! As for Mitchell and his natty clothes, he becomes a G man tgarbage manl. The astrologer refused to go on I was so unless I paid him more. interested in hearing how we were all I paid him going to make out that . without comment, and he continued. Peter Provias will be a hockey star, for he sure is starting off well. The Leafs will be his team, and he will be their best man. He shoots! He S-C-O-R-E-Sl Congratulations, Pro- vias, and the best of luck! Bill Stubbs had continued his saxaphone lessons and become a teacher in that branch of music L?j. Good old Bill of 1936! Tom XYinheld is going to get a shock when I tell him what he will be doing in twenty years. He will be a Fuller brush salesman. He'll get by with that line he shoots! XVe pity the housewife who opens the door to tind him. He'll hornswoggle her for the whole day. Hawkins will be sit- ting on a fish wagon, blowing a horn. That's a fish story, if ever there was onel Lorne Sharp will have a nice soft job-Sheriff of the little village of Dundas. It had decreased in size in the last few years. This astrologer was a genius. He then told me of Allen Brown. This individual would own a dairy farm. consisting of one hundred and hfty cows. I'd like to see his hands. His profits won't be much, for scientists will have produced a tree that gives milk, thus ruining the milk business. He will have married an old friend of mine-Mrs. Helen Brown. The astrologer had finished by this time, as he had another date. But I persuaded him to tell me about myself. This I regret doing, for a certain Miss Calderone had a job in the Spectator of chief jokester, and I was her right- hand man. XVhen she ran dry, I was to supply her with the jokes I used to put down as answers on my exams. Well, now that the astrologer had finished, let us settle down and prove to him that astrology is really not one of the recognized sciences, and that each one can say, I am the master of my fate! and live up to that motto. 70 M-3A Our Motto ClelAnd FeLdman Van SickLe M.

Y V-2 Vox Pop One day Miss Hartwell invited the class to have tea with her. She served a delightful lunch, consisting of sand- wiches and Nutt Dabbs. and Cham- pagne as a chaser. She then took us for a ride, two at a time. The roads were very slippery and the car began to Scudmore and more, so we had to get out and Walker back to a garage. The rain having stopped, we de- cided to go for a stroll in the woods. Vile crossed many Brooks, until we met a young Miller named Vliallace. He gave her some pigs' feet and tried to sell her some sour-Krouse, but it Foster too much. XVe couldn't cook the pigs' feet, because we had no Knife, and there was also a possibility that we might Burnham. as we were not used to using a YVood fire. XVe continued on our way until Misner fell in the Marsh. She Rosen- feld, but no one could Treacher. iVil- son said if we didn't Richardson, she would drown.

Has Blain really got Saint Vitus' dance. or is he just trying to be a suc- cessful rival for Grandfield's foolish frolics? If only that quartette of terrible feminine voices would give the class a break and keep quiet! Boys complain about the vanity of the female sex, but if they could see Bannerman combing his hair every few minutes, they would start worry- ing about the vanity of men. If .Alma and Maybelle don't stop hoiwling like the north wind Cthey think they're two-fifths of the UQUIIIISHJ we'll have to do something drastic. If Dorothy Jackson would pay less attention to the boys up in the cafe- teria, maybe the pupils wouldn't look as if they are starving. John Davies is still our punny man, but his puns aren't always funny. lVatch your step, John! Will a gang ever get organized to go after the hairdresser that gave Mary VValker her permanent?
