They, after all, tell the tale of the School's success. And by the product the school is judged. Never forget, therefore, that loyalty to your school goes deeper than a mere senti- mental memory for its associations and traditions, worthy as they may be. Real loyalty consists in so conforming to those high traditions in your present and after school life that they are constantly enhancing the highfplaced credit of your school. ln this edition of The Oracle you have seen fit, Mr. Editor, to devote a section to the graduates of '48. May l therefore take the liberty of congratulating those students who, in a few weeks, will become adventurersnfull of high hopes, endowed with health and possessed of vigor- and will sail away from this port into an uncharted sea. Life itself is a great adventure, but the possessor of a disciplined mind may pass through it with happiness and contentment no matter in what walk he finds himself. lt is not required of every man and woman to be, or to do, something great. Most of us must content ourselves with humble tasks, but let us put our best into the performance and thereby be loyal to ourselves, our school and our country. R. V.

One of the big moments in the past school year was the occasion of the dedication of our Memorial Hammond Organ, and the unveiling of the Bronze Plaque. Once again, we wish to express our appreciation of the wonderful support received from the public in general. The Plaque, bearing its heroic names, will remind generations to come that the Woodstock Collegiate Institute did not falter in time of National stress and need. Already thousands have heard the musical notes of the Organ that will ever memorialize those who made the supreme secrifice. During the past year our school area has been re-adjusted. Every morning a system of buses now brings scores of students from outlying points, A new Suburban School Board has been organized. The harmonious relation between this body and our Board of Education is most striking. l hope this evidence of good-will will ever grow. l hope further that the Woodstock Collegiate will serve as an instrument to bind the peoples of Woodstock and Oxford County together, not only for the good of education, but for the benefit of this community as well.

Fourteen THE ORACLE Controlling The Atom Our good friend and ally to the south, the United States of America, is doing what she no doubt considers a wise and judicious thing in keeping the secret of the atomic bomb strictly to herself and her allies. Such a course, however, will do no more than foster and augment fear and distrust from other world powers who will not rest until they themselves have obtained the weapon. The world was shown the enormous de- structive capabilities of the bomb at Hiro- shima and Nagasaki. These two bombs killed three hundred thousand land this is a con- servative estimatel lapanese. Many more have died and will continue to die lingering deaths from atomic radiations. These acts brought home to Russia and other nations the unquestionable fact that a nation possessing this bomb could dominate the world provid- ed no one else had it. With fear of such domination hanging over her, Russia will undoubtedly bend every effort towards the solving of the mystery of atomic fission. By her policy of keeping the bomb, America does not allay these fears in any way what- soever. Let us look at the common citizen of North America. He knows absolutely noth- ing of the bomb beyond the fact that it can and has killed prodigious numbers of people, He probably believes that America is doing the right thing in keeping the bomb herself, for by this means Russia can be kept in sub- jection. By this means Russia CANNOT be kept in subjection. Today our scientists are afraid that Russia is approaching dangerously close to the solution. Should they obtain it, who can doubt that they will use it in short order with- out taking time to ascertain the consequence of such a course? If everyone knew the catastrophic possi- bilities of an atomic wary it is inconceivable that anyone, including Russia, would want one. By refusing to share their secret the U.S. is, in all probability, bringing on an atomic war. THE ORACLE The situation, as we see it, boils down to this: Russia should be given the bomb, but the common people both in Russia and in our own country should be made acquaint- ed with the facts concerning it. Education of the masses, if it does not solve the prob- lem, should bring it 90 nearer to solution. l.M.W. The Importance Of Being Earnest Too many students waste the most en- joyable years of their lives repeating school grades because they refused to apply them- selves. Yet these are the very students who find school so very tiresome. They don't seem to realize that even a little more concentra- tion would save them a whole year, or even two, of sitting at school desks. But this does not mean that they need become what uni- versity students call scabs . Any student, without doing any more homework than usual can improve his grades at least twen- ty per cent by constant attentiveness in classes, and concentration on what home- work he does do. For each minute that he daydreams or even sleeps at his work he must spend two minutes in learning later what he missed. The Olympic games have just been com- pleted for this year. We could find no better example and incentive for concentration than in niany of these world famous athletes who have spent most of their lives earnestly training and self-disciplining themselves. Yet many of them are no older than we are. Their lives have not been drudgery because they work hard -rather they have been en- joyable because they have reached their goal and their efforts have been rewarded. We are too inclined to take our educa- tion tor granted. Were it less easily obtain- able perhaps we should be more eager to make use of it. We are enjoying ourselves now and so we should, but not at the ex- pense of damaging our future. Our times are uncertain and we must go forth prepared to meet and surpass whatever obstacles stand in our way. Now, and now only, is the time to prepare, Make use of it. H. I. D. Fifteen The New look Maybe the New Look is not just another frivolous female fad. Perhaps it has an ulterior motive. Could it be a case of necessity is the mother of invention ? Wo- men were beginning to think the current styles rather impractical, especially in cold weather when their legs, feet, hands and head slowly number to the temperature of an icirle While the remaining 34 roasted under a fur coat. If this situation were to be remedied it had to be done subtly and not at the expense of femininity. Oh never! Suppose the new look to be the final step in a series begun many years ago. lt was then that long hair came in style, a wonder- ful way to keep warm in winter tat least partiallyl. Next women resorted to wearinq fur mittens and this became a very popular fad-and very effective for its purpose. The next problem was cold feetAah, fur boots! The modern miss didnt seem to mind how large her feet looked encased in a two inch thickness of fleece and rubber. tlt wasn't long ago they insisted on buying shoes 2 sizes too small to have dainty feet!! So far so good. Nobody seemed to mind any of this. But the final step was perplex- ing. No one liked wool stockings, nor slacks, nor leggings. But how was one to keep one's legs warm? Stylists took a deep breath and with crossed fingers the only pos- sible solution . . . LONG skirts. Voila! H. l. D. Reminiscing September 3rd, l943. Nearly five years ago isn't it? How those years have gone by! On that day we were one of a number of awed, uncertain, public school children who fidgeted in Miss Dent's room. We were First Farmers, looked upon by the school as gen- eral nuisances to be tand we werel, and by ourselves as just about the most important people in the world. As we look back, there was no year in our high school career which was more pleasing to us than this first year. lt holds more memories, pleasant and other- wise than any other. Today, a Fifth Former, we seldom visit those hallowed precincts in which we held forth nearly five years ago. There lies the dent in the wall tsince plaster- Sixteen ed over! made by the cranium of one of 'our classmates as he endeavoured to set a new record for being first out of school at noon. There also, in our first home form, is the cabinet, the glass front of which we per- sonally smashed With a brush during a noon- hour skirmish. While in this form we were on the principal's carpet for the first time, with one knee making a punching bag of the other. ln this form also we played on our first basketball team which lost every game played. Well, those times are gone for us and others are enjoying them now. Very few of our classmates in that year are left. One has crossed the Great Divideg most of the others are now engaged in that chore known as working for a living. Those that are left will be widely separated by next September. lt was a good class, the best Grade 9 in the school-but enough of this sentimentalism. Enjoy your first year students, it will never come back, nor will there be another like it! lt is the experiences in this year which will enable you, at some far distant time, to lean back in your easy chair, and, with a reminiscent gleam in your eye, say to your descendants, Now when I was a boy?

Perhaps the greatest honour that may be afforded to a graduating student is to be chosen Valedictorian by his class mates. To-night the class of 1947 graduates, and I am both proud and grateful to have that honour. To-night our high-school days have ceasedfwe have reached one of our child- hood goals and, now at that goal, we wonder whether the years have been fruitless or whether we have learned something well worth while? Are we as graduates of the Woodstock Collegiate Institute now prepared to give fullest justification to our schools high and noble motto Knowledge, lndustry, Characteru? lt is my belief that we are. Five short years ago our young minds regarded the acquirement of knowledge as the greatest obstacle in our way to gradua- tion. We looked forward with horror to the five long study-packed years ahead of us. Few will ever forget the first few confused weeks in our new way of life known as High School Daze . They were a muddled period of adjustment, confusion, and rnost prevelant of allffear. We were afraid of our new teachers, afraid of homework, and afraid of being trampled to oblivion inthe rumbling twelve o'clock halls. However, in a short time misgivings gave way to enjoy- ment and excitement and at times we con- sidered our studies as the part of school that must be endured. We look back to-night, perhaps with a- little disgust, and certainly with regret, to our flippant attitude towards our studies. We did our homework, certainlyy we felt we were forced to. For the same reason, we obeyed our teachers. NOW we're certain we never could have graduatedwithout these efforts! reluctant as they were. lt is well we declin- ed that Latin verb a hundred times, just for one slip in pronounciation, we're not sorry for the extra hours .spent in detention rooms, and we feel no bitterness for the occasional hasty, but effective words spoken by our teachers. We now completely appreciate that these seemingly unjust incidents were actually intangible gains which we will long enioy. Twenty-Two l ROBERT SCOTT lt is now our privilege to have the Aca- demic knowledge required for graduation from high school. But even now on the eve of graduation we are startled when we realize how little we have grasped during our years spent in school. However we know that we, as graduates of W.C.l., have ob- tained the finest possible grounding for fur- ther education in other fields of endeavor. Our understanding of lndustry was not gained like algebra or history, and required little study. However we now consider it as a very real part of our education. As early as we can remember we all had ambitions in life: few of these very early ambitions will ever be realized, as there are not enough jobs for that many Cowboys. Naturally as we grew up our ideas became more practi- cal, and by the time we had entered Col- legiate we were seriously considering our future in this fascinating world of affairs. Gradually, through careful thought, heeding wise suggestions offered by teachers and THE ORACLE parents, we sorted our confused ideas and set a goal towards which we might work. Then aided once more by our patient teach- ers and parents, we began to utilize our meagre conception of Industry. We found that trusting to luck was the same as trusting to laziness. If we were to surmount the iaqqed and insecure road to success it must be ac- complished by diligence, ability and ambi- tion. Many of us still have years of study ahead, while others of us are starting now to form the foundation which we are sure will grow into the realization of our life's ambi- tion. The fact that we are the first class of graduating Canadians challenges us to form a better, safer, and more industrious Canada. As we participate in our final school function we realize what a part our school has played in the formation of our character. We modestly pride ourselves in the fact that we are no longer reckless irresponsible child- ren, but rather intelligent young men and women. Through our intra-mural sports, W.O.S.S.A. activities, and friendly debates we have learned well the principles of sports- manship and fair play, and the hard lesson of compromising. As we look back over the years and try to measure what they have brought to us, who graduate to-night, we have nothing but a confused memory of tri- angles, infinitives, and photometers. As the years continue to pass we know that even these will fade into nothingness. But other memories will always remain -- these, the fundamentals of school-the laughter, the friendship, and loyalty to tradition, these are the greatest gifts that any school may give to her students. There are other memories too, of angry words, clenched fists and sul- len faces. From this shifting sea of remem- brance we are suddenly conscious of the fact that somehow or other through the glee and the glum we have groped our way to maturity. I hope that l have voiced the opinion of the group, which l represent. I feel, how- ever, that the address is not complete, and would only be so, if there were as many Valedictorians as there are Graduates. On behalf of the graduating class l should like to bring to you the words of some unknown poet. I believe they summarize very well the standards which the school has given us-the principals of KNOWLEDGE.

THE ORACLE Twenty-Five life In An Italian Boarding School The ISTITUTO FEMMINILE DELLA SANTISSINA ANUNZIATA AL POGGIO IMPERIALE was the name of the school I went to in Italy. It occupies the building of an old palace and is situated on a hill near Florence. A series of steps lead up to the huqe oak door studded with brass nails. I was rather disconcerted to see that all the win- dows on the ground floor were barred. The door was opened by the janitor who showed us into the anteroom. The Directress turned out to be a large commanding woman with grey hair. She ushered me into a crowded classroom and introduced me to a girl named DANA MICKAHAELIS who spoke English. I could not speak a word of Italian so DANA introduced me to the others and acted as interpreter. The classroom walls were painted to represent a wood full of dogs, and men on horse-back. The ceiling was painted with birds and angels. On the wall hung a picture of Mussolini crossed out in black chalk. The teacher entered the room and the girls said their prayers in Italian and then in French. This was HMATAMATICAH, Dana said, but I could not understand a word. I was given a little book to study with the names of common, everyday things in Italian and English. At lunch hour we filed into the dining room and took our places. The ceiling was painted with gods and godesses. There were some surprising table manners. They sat with their hands above the table: wheth- er this was to show that they were clean, or whether it dated from the days when people were liable to draw a knife and stab you at any minute, I don't know. At the end of the meal a girl brought out a bottle of wine and offered it around. I hesitated, but they pres- sed me to take it and it was very good. We had spaghetti in soup, and after that ARTI- CHOKES and olive oil, finishing up with fruit. We had small loaves of almost black bread, and no butter. Twenty-Six Next, I was sent to be measured for a uniform. They were proud of the fact that their uniform had not changed for nearly two hundred years! It consisted of a grey, woollen dress almost to the ankles, and a starched white collar. As time went past, I made progress with Italian and made many friends. They were thrilled to know that I could play tennis and insisted on my teaching them. They had very little time for games and were not al- lowed to go out of the school more than once a term. One outing which I accompanied took us to see the Art galleries and famous old buildings of Florence. The children themselves seemed to be born artists: at eleven years old they were making beautiful pictures in crayons and paints, and by the time they were fifteen they were doing oil-painting and portrait- painting. They started learning music at the age of three or four and by the time they were fifteen they were playing Beethoven Concertos! Italian children are simple, affectionate and entirely lovable. I stayed at their school for about a month and was very sorry to leave. Mary Carr-Harris, l2A y The Perfect Crime Herman I. Brockmorton tiptoed silently down the hall of his penthouse in west New York. It was 2.30 a.m. and as he closed the door on his bedroom, he could hear the regular, heavy breathing of his sleeping wife. He was, frankly, very frightened. One didn't commit murder of this sort every day, but it simply had to be done. He knew it was only because he was jealous of the at- tention his wife lavished on the would-be I. was not the sort of victim. But Herman man to tamper withfas will be seen. He had planned every detail, and was very pleased that he had the victim sleeping under the protection of his own roof. That simplified matters a great deal. As Brock- THE ORACLE morton reached the end of the hall he slid into the room at the head of the stairway. Once inside the room he glided over to the box-bed by the window. With the air of a man who has made up his mind what he is going to do, and is determined to do it re- gardless of cost, he slid his hands around the neck of the form asleep in the bed. Slow- ly, ruthlessly his fingers crushed life out of the breathing existence. lt ceased to inhale. Brockmorton hoisted the body over his shoulder, left the room, and walked, slowly, silently down the stairs, down further into the cellar, and finally made his way out into the garage through the servants entrance. A ready-waiting, large hemp bag was pulled clumsily out from the back seat of his con- vertible Buick. He stuffed the body into it, threw the bag into the back seat of the car, and with a sigh of relief, went to open the garage door. So far so good, and no slip- ups. Now for the water front. He drove through the sleeping city at a good clip. lt was cold, and he wished more than once that he was back home in his warm bed. As he approached the waterfront, he noted carefully those piers which looked deserted. He chose an old tug-boat landing, just a few yards distance from the Smithson Bridge. The bag was removed from the the car. A huge boulder was contents. Then a sturdy piece was wound around the neck With a heave-ho and a swish tossed the bag and its ghastly back seat of added to its of wiry rope of the sack. Brockmorton contents into the calm dark water. He did not even wait to see it sinkeit was too cold to wait for anything. With the feeling of a job well done, Herman I. returned to his penthouse, and his warm bed. In half an hour he was sleeping the sleep of the dead. The following morning, Herman I. sat at his breakfast table, debating as to whether or not he could afford to indulge in three lumps of sugar in his coffee. He was no lightweight, and he earnestly strove to limit himself. Iust as he was leaning across the table to dip into the sugar bowl for the third lump, his wife came running hysterically into the room. Herman I. focussed his eyes upon the bottom of the sugar bowl as if it had hypnotized him. THE ORACLE Why darling, he said in a smooth voice, What's the matter? 'lGone, shrieked his wife, My itsy bitsy, my only little cuddly baby. Gone . . . and here she broke off into a bubbly torrent of pampered sobs. With care and patience for so it seemedl Herman I. discovered what was missing las if he didn't know, the vtllainl. Why, lovey, he said in the same smooth voice, as he plunked the third lump into his cooling coffee, How silly of you to get so excited over such a little thing. We can always get another cat . . . Anne Carnwath, I3 Solution To Releasing The Knowledge Of The Atom The war is over, thanks to the mighty atom. Now is the time when the atom should be advancing itself for peacetime industry. Even now as I write this, I do so by lantern- light. Why?-because we had a windstorm this afternoon that broke the hydro wires. ls this not a practical, every-day demonstra- tion of where Atomic Power could take over by supplying power in individual units to rural communities. However, this is only one side of the question. There is a very good reason for holding up the release of the atomic secret and its practical commer- cial uses. At the present time, the United States is the only country holding the secret to the splitting of the atom and to the manufacture of Atom Bombs. Even Britain who contri- buted her complete resources to this project has not been allowed to enter upon this Number l U.S. military secret. If it were published in detail, a group of incapable experimenters would succeed in not only blowing up the world but themselves also. I think that the U.S. should retain this secret until the U.N.O. is ready to handle it. At such a time every nation should turn over its complete knowledge and discoveries to the Atomic Commission, Division of the U.N. They in turn would redistribute knowledge to capable and qualified scientists and also Twenty-Seven control the denaturing of this energy for com- mercial use. tDenaturing consists of ren- dering the energy incapable of explosions suitable for use in Atomic Bombszi Rigid in- spection and watching for persons infringing upon, or violating the Atomic Charter would be carried out by an International Police Force. This is the basic fundamental of my plan. Under the U.N. the world should be taught an international language such as Esparanto. Coupled closely to this would be an International Youth Organization where delegates could discuss conditions in other countries and then report back home. This is my second point. I realize that I have taken a tremendous step but it is absolutely imperative to assure understanding, the most positive release from war. Prevention of war itself must be our objective in controlling the atom bomb, and a pile of bombs to do this is of very little use to the owner and most irritating to his neighbours. I admit that this is only a plang it has many loopholes and several almost insur- mountable factors entering into it, but what- ever we devise, it had better be good, and we had better be getting at it. Donald W. I-Iart, I3 The Perfect Day ' One day last week I woke up with a sudden start. It was nine o'clockl My goodness, I thought, I'm going to be late for school! Then I remembered- school didn't start until ten this morning: so I went back to sleep for another half hour. When I was Iinally ready to leave the house, I noticed a large, pale blue conver- tible waiting outside. A man in a grey uni- form held the door open for me and put my books carefully into the trunk. By the time I arrived at school, I had seen about fifteen vars exactly like mine, and all headed for school. . In the main hail I met Mr. I-Iodgins, and when I asked him about the cars, he said that everyone was being driven to school in cars, to-day. I-Ie also said that there were movies in the auditorium and asked if I cared to see them. Since I have always Twenty-Eight preferred Iames Mason to Trigonometry, I went to the auditorium. At noon instead of lunch in the lunch- room a turkey dinner was served in the gym. The meal was wonderful and, of course, everyone. made himself sick. Then we had a short nap in the library. Ilt was full of easy chairsi. About three everyone went swimming in the pool, which is where the old wing used to be. The water was just right and about half of the school was in there. The teachers were standing on the side Watching when suddenly one of the boys pushed one of them into the pool. Then all the teachers were falling in. Amid the screams that followed I heard one that was very familiar and I woke up to find it was my mother call- ing me to get up and get dressed for school. Well! I can dream, can't I? Hallie Iohnston, I3 The Reality Ot That Moment It was perhaps the most frightening thing that I have ever witnessed. The silence ct that otherwise mediocre afternoon was shattered by the ominous sound of a pierc- ing siren. Turning my eyes to the right, I perceived a great commotion in the bank across the street. Two disguised men were hurriedly making their Way to a parked automobile. Then, rounding the corner at full speed, the police car was upon them. With great haste the thieves whipped out their revolvers, and began to tire. A young policeman toppled to the pavement. The women were screaming in the streets, clutching their children to them. The anxiety and fear of that moment, thrust such a terror within me, that I was frozen to the spot. Then suddenly as though it were predes- tined, one of the thieves wheeled around and faced me. I wanted to run. My legs would not move. The fear and insecurity that overcame me inhibited my every move. Everything turned black. The next person I saw was George the Sixth, and I noticed everyone was standing to attention. It was then that the realization came over me that I was sitting in the local theatre. I am now making an appeal to Holly- wood to make less realistic films. Betty Swartz, 12B THE ORACLE An Exciting Moment The afternoon was full of excitement. My favourite brother Bill was coming home with his German war bride. All last minute preparations had been completed, and now as l snuggled down in the corner of the car, the butterflies in my stomach threatened to engulf my whole body. I wondered whether she would be as pretty as l had imagined. At last we reached the station. Mother was laughing excitedly at Dad's remarks. It seemed like hours before we heard the familiar whistle of Lulu as she neared the bend in the railway tracks. When it stopped, I jumped up and down straining to be the first one to glimpse them. And there he was. His lean, tanned face was covered with a happy grin. Behind him came a blonde slip of a girl, her excited eyes glancing over the crowd trying to pick us out. I knew immediately that we would have a wonderful time together. Wilma White, 9G In The Old Days The W.C.I. and the Oracle have chang- ed a great deal since my father attended this school. Then the wing which houses Mr. Cordick's and Miss Currey's room was a recent addition. A large new gym had just been added. The old gym had been a separate building which also contained the manual training room. The Oracle of that day was printed every term. It had a paper cover and ap- proximately 25 pages of ordinary paper far removed from the lovely paper on which the Oracle is now printed. Inside the cover and on four pages front and back were the ad- vertisements. There crre advertisements from such companies as Bissells' Carpet Sweep- er',' The Molsons Bank , and Good Cheer Warm Air Furnaces, The james Stewart Co. Ltd. Other Companies, which are still well known, also had advertisements. The john White Co., Limited , who offered the latest style in boys' overcoats from 55.00 to 351000, and Frank Hyde's Drug Store. There has been a Wilson's jewellery store in Wood- stock since 18705 and The Neil Shoe Store , THE ORACLE I. G I. Sutherland's , and Poole's Grocery were advertised in almost every Oracle. On the next page, after the advertise- ments, TI-IE ORACLE is printed at the top in large letters and immediately under it the quotation- l am Sir Oracle, and when I ope my mouth let no dog bark. Such teachers as Mr. Salter, Miss Robin- son and Miss Shook are mentioned. At that time there were thirteen teachers on the staff counting Mr. Levan, the principal. There were no pictures, but stories lgen- erally terrific? love stories written by the studentsl, poems, and jokes appeared. Mary Schell CSp. LIFE'S GAME OF BALL tcontinued from page 231 They tell me you're going Robbie, away from home and all, Going out on the fields of the future to play at Life's game of ball: They tell me that you're one and twenty- you don't seem as old as that: Seems like you're young and slender to handle Iife's ball and bat. I reckon I'm kind of foggishg don't matter much what I say: l'd like to advise a little about the game you're going to play. My score is made: I've had my strikes: all past are my fears and doubts. I'm waiting now till the Great Umpire calls me to take my outs. In the deepening shadows of the years, the years of my young day's time, l'll sit and watch you make your base-and, boy, you've got to climb! You've got to do your level best if you hope for a chance to win. The Trials of Life are a difficult nine and they are made by a chap named Sin. The world will be the umpire, boy, you won't get favoured there: In fact when you first begin the game you'll hardly get what's fair. Pick out a good sound bat, look well to what you take- Some use the basswood bat of luck, but it's mighty apt to break: But I Twenty-Nine Don't use the Ash of Rashness, nor the heavy Oak of Doubt, They're either light or heavy, and you'll most dead sure strike out. Don't use the Elm of Dishonor, or the Iron- wood of Crime, For, though they sometimes do the work, they fail most every time. So don't choose one too heavy, nor neither one too light But there's a bat that never fails, and that is the Willow of right. Old Time is a swift curve pitcher, and a tricky one besides, But never mind how fair they Iook, don't Go to striking wide: But when the chance is right, and you get a ball that's fair, Don't wait for a softer snap, my boy, let go at it solid and square. Don't count too much on your strength and knock Hope's balls too high, Fielder Disappointments apt to take such balls on the fly. Don't muff golden opportunities, guard well against a pass, Don't knock the ball of Resentment through any one's window glass. It ain't always best to try too hard to tally a clean home run, For often the surest way is to make your bases one by one. Remember that every foul you make will be taken by the Catcher Slur, Temptation holds the first base well, Despair is the short fielder. One of the hardest points to make is the first base in the run, But if you do the thing you ought, it can, and ought to be done. After you've made your first, watch out for swift defeat, The very worst man in the nine, my boys is the second base Self-Conceit. There'lI be the third base, too, and fielders a couple more, A Who'1l be on the watch to put you out and blacken your final score: But then you'll have a team that's strong, who work to put you through, Your backers are Conscience and Honor and Pluck, and they are strong players, too. Thirty So brace to the work before you, dismiss all doubts and fears, And I will watch the game as I wait in the ' shade of the by-gone years. Radio Dreams I went to sleep with the radio playing All the popular tunes, and found myself straying Through the jungle dark in Congo land: I wished I had someone to hold my hand. The tom-toms throbbed and the wild beasts prowled: I shivered and shook though I wasn't cold. Then I was a lost sheep on a mountain-side, And all night Iong Bah! Bah! I cried. As a ballerina I danced around, My toes scarcely seemed to touch the ground. Eut I grew till I weighed four hundred and three, And everyone said, She's Too Fat For Me ! Then, I was a bride in a beautiful gown, And I danced at my wedding till night had flown. Oh! I was having a wonderful time, But the clock on the shelf began to chime, And I woke and found t'was the same old rule, I had to get up and go to school! Madge Turner, IZC The North When the northern lights are flashing, And there's not a cioud in sight, When the loon's cry breaks the stillnesse- That's the north at night. When a lone goose soars above you Intent upon its flight, When a cow-bell breaks the silence- That's the north at night. If your heart soars within you As you see the glorious View Then you are now a prisoner, For the north has captured you. But what a wondrous feeling To know that you are hers, For she will always keep you Ouite free from other lures. So if your heart is heavy THE ORACLE And you want to wander forth, Turn your footsteps promptly To the comfort of the north. For she will never fail you: If sad or sore distressed, Of all your friends together, The north is very best. Pat Brewster, 12B Golf By Beatty Taking permission from Bob and Bing I'll endeavour to tell you about this thing. In this game by the best in business we're told You must be confident, relaxed, have temper controlled. So you can't see the point of the game as yet? Then think of the exercise, fresh air that you Get. You don't think you'd like to carry all of those clubs? Don't worry! Those that do are usually dubs. The object you hit you think is rather small? Perhaps you'd do better with a basket- ball! ' So on with the game and obey all the rules! The persons that don't are usually fools. For the drives we use a clubtwith a large wooden head, But some could do better with a cannon instead. You line up your ball, take a mighty swing. Drat it! I dubbed the darn little thing. At last you're away with a shot that is toughp You should take more care to stay out of the rough. With shots like that you think you can't win? Here's where that temper controlled comes in! You think that it's easy to approach a green? Take a shot and you'll see just what I mean! A beautiful shot right over the back. Now take out your eight and begin to hack. To watch some people putt is certainly fun, But on the greens are where the games are won. Now that you've got the idea of the game, I'll give you some expressions pertain- ing to the same. THE ORACLE- The par is the number of low strokes allotted: Some stories about it get slightly knotted. Fore, rough, fairway, green, I think you all knoww And replace the turf. That's a club not a hoe! The clubs are too numerous to mention them here. You won't need them ally so have no fear Of the person who has every one to be found. You'll be a lot peppier at the end of the round! If in this sport you wish to gain fame Don't come to me. I just talk a good game. ' Boy Beatty, llB The Hunters Although the morn was cool and grey, The snow was deep, the trees did sway Beneath fresh snow which deep did fall, We heard the dogs' impatient call. The fields were smooth under the snow, The dogs ahead the way did show, Toward the bush their path did lead, A rabbit fled with all its speed. But oh! this hare was quick to see, The dogs and hunters thru the tree! So cross the stream with all his will, Onto the field to top the hill! Although the dogs, the hare did trail, The men perceiv'd the whitish tail, So now they waited, hoped and prayed The fleeing hare will come their way. Onward! Onward! to them he came: They aim'd, they shot. I-Ie stopped in shame! He blessed the tree that was his shield, Then quickly ran up thru the field. The sun was bright, the men were glum, The hare so bright, the men so dumb, They look'd, and sigh'd, and march'd away Tomorrow was another day. Ken Gardiner, I3 The school doesn't seem the same this with us. Although enjoying her well- year. Miss Dent isn't we know Miss Dent is earned retirement, we miss her wise coun- selling and lively interest in all our under- takings.

H 4 Memorial Day Service November 10, 1947 On the afternogii of Novteniber lO, the student body filed dawii st lied halls into the auditorium. All 1 .'.e ere in uniform, for today they were honouring the students who had paid the supreme zazrifiio in both of the Great World lNars. The hymn All People That On Earth Do Dwell opened the service. The scrip- ture lesson and prayer were then read by Bev. George Lees Douglas. Bussell Mount' ford sang two appropriate solos There is No Death and The Lords Prayer . He was accompanied by Mrs. Moyer, A.T.C,M. The speaker of the afternoon, Hon. Dr. D. M. Sutherland, introduced by Principal Hodgins, reminded the present generation of the great sacrifice and sorrow exacted by the wars. He reviewed the world changes in the last fifty years and pointed out the danger spots in the present and in the future. ln conclusion, Dr. Sutherland stated that in order to avert a third world war, these problems must be solved by the nations. The presentation cf 'he Memorial Hame mond Organ was then made by Lt. Col. H. N. Ubelaclfcer and was accepted by Mr. B. V. Tuck, chairman of the property ccznrnittee of the Board of Education. After the dedication prayer by Bev. Iohn Morris, the flowing tones and lovely chimes of the organ were exemplified when the audience sang the hymn O God Qur Help ln Ages Past . Mr. Maxwell Magee, BA., Mus. Bachelor played the organ at this time. The names of the students who lost their lives in the world conflicts were read by Mr. A. C. liilhaley and Mrs. C. Otton. The attitude of the students during the two minutes' silence was perhaps the finest way they paid their tribute that afternoon. The Last Post sounded through the stilled audi- torium to break the silence, Buglers were Lorne Hodgins and Bill Harrington. Flag bearers foe Thomson and Don Hart led the decoration procession to the centre hall. The newly erected plaque to honour THE ORACLE the school dead of the second conflict was unveiled by Helen Dewan and Sid Tatharn. Officiating in the decoration of the memorial plaques were Leonore Elliott and Doris Kitching. A fitting prayer was given by Bev. D. D. Gaynor and Be-veille was sounded. The benediction by Bev. Iohn Morris brought the service to a close. The Organ Behold ity there it stands for all to see: Let us like it, in silent memory bow, And think of those we wish were with tis now, Ne'er to return to us from o'er the sea. Our boys and girls did not refuse the call, But when the time to save our country came. They went abroad in honour of her name And there they served her, even with their all. So now they live in memory this day: The organ brings them once again to lifep And as the swelling notes do die away, They all return, victorious from the strife. Their hallowed presence in our hearts we feel, Strengthened by the organ's lofty peal. Don Nash, 12A Dedication Recital lt would be difficult to find a more beau- tiful or enduring memorial said L. M. Ball, representative of the Board of Education at the commencement of the first recital on the Memorial Hammond Qrgan. Expressing the gratitude of the Board of Education to all who had made the gift possible, he stressed the efforts of T. L. Hay, I. D. Poole and H. N. Ubelacker. Maxwell A. Magee, B.A., Mus. Bachelor was the guest artist of the evening. His first group of selections included the Prelude and Eugue in A. Minor fBachl, Air from the Vlfater Music Suite fl-landell, and Lemmens Fanfare in D . Eaually interesting was the second group which introduced the organ chimes: Liebestraum CLisztl, Caprice Viennoisu flireislerl, and La Fille aux Chevaux de Len fDebussyl.

At the completion of this group Mr. Magee graciously responded with two encores Tico Tico and Peg Q' My Heart .

Across the field, a skier skims Along the powdered snow: Arid here upon a white-capp'd post, A wee bird huddles low. Far up above, the snow-clouds sail, Like ships on a wintry bay: And as their captains pilot them, They rock, then dip, then sway. Through clear, crisp air, bright sleigh-bells ring And skaters deftly spin: Wliile in the homes, the older folk, Are wisely staying in. And so the snow falls on and on, And children gaily playg Wliile grandparents before the fire, Wcrit for the first spring day. I.

When the clouds of condensed breath cleared and all assumed a nornral atmosphere, Lenore Elliott of l2A wus found to have captured the senior girl athletes' title. Pat McLean of C Special was the run- ner up. The junior winner, Aveleiqh Hep- worth, who is in her first year, QG, displayed her athletic qualities. Runner up for the junior title was Mary McCutchen of llA. Pat McLean captained the senior Purple team to victory while Grange was the colour of the winninq junior team captained by Mary McCutchen. W.0.S.S.A. Badminton On Saturday, May B, l947, the first post- war WOSSA Badminton Tournament was held at the H. B. Beale Technical School in London. Woodstock was represented by Anne Carnwath and Pat Brewster, who went smashing throuah the preliminaries only to be defeated in the Semi-finals by the famous Stratford team of Shirley Gladdina and Bev. Craine. The matches were held in the aym, and we wonder why the tournament was held in May, when the badminton season is over, for it is really too hot to play in un- ventilated qymns. However heat or no heat, next May will see the Woodstock team back in there tryinq to qet past the Stratford team. THE ORACLE W.0.S.S.A. Tennis Last fall two airls' tennis teams filed applications for participation in W.Q.S.S.A. tennis tournament. Anne Carnwath of l3 and Barbara lohnson of IOA lost the prelim- ingtry match to Daphne Cross and Leonore Elliott, both of l2A. From Woodstock our girls advanced to the semi-finals aqainst London Central team and defeated them 7-5, 7-5, at St. Thomas. The couple from London South Colle- giate won the honours for the district defeat- ing Leonore and Daphne 6-2, 6-4 and qoinq on to win the W.C,S.S.A. title. Volleyball This year all the first formers under the guidance of Miss Buraess practised for the volleyball tournament. Each form played their regular qym form in their P.T. period. The winner in this played the winner of another form and the loser played the loser of another form, until there were only two teams left. These were the winners of all the winnina teams and the winners of all the losina teams. These two winners competed for the volley ball bar. This last game with the FIELD DAY CHAMPS A. l-lepworth, L.

This game was continued until one team got an extra point. The winner over 9G was QB. The captain of QB was Dorothy Robinson. Each player in QB got a beautiful bar. Ruth Rank and Dorothy Robinson - Ohhh! those onefhanded punches of theirs. They could really wallop the ball from the back line, over the net, to score the points.

THE ORACLE Basketball Qur basketball season got underway the end of lanuary with an exhibition game bee tween Woodstock and Norwich. Leonore Elliott was playing forward for the first time, but managed to lead our team with the tallyf ing of fourteen points. The Norwich girls played a concentrated game and managed to score eighteen points. The twins on the Norwich team kept our guards puzzled, but loanne Milburn and Elaine Sutherland each managed to hoop a basket and tie the game. Qur next game was against the Amazons from London Central, coached by Miss Shambleau. Apparently all our tricks had been explained by Miss Shambleau as they scored twenty-three points to an insignificant nine on our side. Lib Tatham was the out- standing player of the game. Undaunted, we proceeded to our first W.O.S.S.A. game against Stratford in Strat- ford. The game was fast-moving and our team seemed to get lost in the shuffle, to Fifty-One ag r i it arise refreshed and score. Unfortunately the game ended with a shuffle, and Stratford had a seven point lead over Woodstock. Still determined to win a game, we trudged to Brantford. Despite difficulties, we held our tempers and managed to get ten personal fouls to balance Brantford's ten. Our team was out passing and out shoot- ing Brantford but Lady Luck was against us. Every shot was right to the basket but many twirled out or spun around the rim and popped out. The fact that only points are scored when the ball passes through the bottom of the basket led Brantford to a score of twenty-two and left Woodstock a seven- teen. Our W.O.S.S.A. game with Stratford was drawing near and so we made a pil- grimage to London Central for a work out. We were determined that the honour of the W.C.l. must be upheld and that such a beat- ing as we experienced last game, was not to be tolerated: therefore, we held the score to: london, twenty-two-Woodstock, twelve. Then, the game of games with Stratford. Cnly once had W.C.I. girls defeated S.C.l. and already we had a seven point disad- vantage, but we played a shut out game defeating Stratford l6 to 6. Leonore Elliott and Elaine Sutherland along with Ioyce Mallen did all the scoring. Our team got a decided lift with Ioyce playing. This was her first game, owing to an injured ankle, and her playing encouraged the team. Olive Pearce played excellently. ln the guarding business Doris Kitching played an excellent game and her best of the season. The team work was perfect and our morale was boost- ed. With victory as our cry and Simcoe as the battle ground, we faltered and fell under the tricky passes and fast manouevers of the capable Simcoe cagers. We returned home to prepare for the home game with Simcoe. Difficult odds of a fifteen point Simcoe lead held a pessimistic view for the Bed and White gals.

Wells, D Stewart, J, Toohey, B. Bner. Front Row: D. Ross, Mr. J. Young, S. Tothom. Insides-Willard Kam. Willie was a steady player backed up by his experience. Willard loved to make holes for his bucking halves and this he did. This is Willard's last year. Sidford Tatham. A duplicate of Pelletier, Sid played his heart out in every game. Who made seventy per-cent of the tackles? That was Sid. The school will miss him next year, but the teams that he played against will relish the thought of seeing him out oi the line up. Howard German, Don Nunns. Hefty and quick, Howard soon learned how to crack through the line. Nunns played well, working with his line mate. These boys will be back next year. Middles - Iohn Pelletier. This was l.ardie's second year on the line, and he was the bulwark of the team. What Sid could do on the left side of the linef---Iohnny could equally do on his side. Lardie special- ized in breaking up opponents plays before they got going. See you in Stratford next year? Doug Hancock. A W.O.S.S.A. veteran, Doug used his head while on the field and this showed his ability to make a hole or break through and crash the ball carrier. We expect as much from him next year. THE ORACLE Iim Toohey, Ken Clynick. These boys played a hard game, but as they had to substitute Sid and Lardie they didn't show as well. However, these boys have several years left to play and we hope that they will help to retain the Red Devils laurels. Ends-lim Leiler. One of the best ends the team possessed, especially in catching passes. We regret that lim was unable to play against Sarnia because a back iniury was aggravating him. See you next year lim. Don Taylor. As a fast and a hard tack- ling end Don was a success. Playing his first year in 'W.O.S.S.A. Don learned no little from Coach Young. Bob Bowman, Howard Greenly. These ends weren't so polished as lim and Don, but they have several years left to gain their laurels. Quarterbacks - Chris Bier. Although Chris played W.Q.S.S.A. before, this was his first year as a quarter. Chris played well at the pivot slot and ran back kicks with artful strides. Norm Yohn, lim Douglas. Norinie joined the team a bit late but he was a good quarter last year. Normie played well but he didn't get the opportunity to show his class. lim, another lst year man could hit and take it Fifty-Five W.C.l. RUGBY TEAM R. Charles, l. Palmer, D. Syrnons, N. Yohn, D. Nunns, B. Bowman, K. Clynick, W. Korn, J. Pelletier, D. Taylor, C. Forbes, J. Skinner, E. Wladyko, T. Koys, S. Tatham. like the rest. lim has several years to show his abilities on the campus. Halfbacks-Peter Iulicm. Pete, another veteran to ioin the team, proved that he was tops in plunging through the line, Pete played a hard game both on defensive and offen- sive. We hope to see you in uniform next year Peter. Terrence Morden. The fastest man on the team, Terry skirted the end for large gains. Gogo was the team's passer and he took care of the largest percentage of yards, gained by the boot. He will be missed no little next year. Colin Forbes. The hardest working half the team possessed. Although he wasn't called to carry the ball too frequently, his spectacular blocking showed us that Coach Young knew what he was teaching the team. lack Skinner. A first year man, lack proved himself to be the surprise package of CHEER LEADERS Back Row: H. Ransom, D. Nash. Front Row: J. Mollen, C. Eltom, J. Ferguson Fifty-Six the team with his plunging and tackling. We regret lack's injury which was the cause of his absence at the ame against Sarnia. Good luck to you next year. Bob Moyer, Edward Wladyka, Ken Doig. David Dewan. These boys substituted the backfield and performed capably. The latter three will have to carry the mail next year and we wish you all success. Manager. Trainer, Water Boy - Ray Charles, Doug Symons, Ivan Palmer. These boys worked for the interests of the club, and were always ready to be of service to any member of the team. Rugby Games Woodstock 6-Brantford 6 Friday, September 26, saw the opening of the rugby season when the Red Devils engaged Brantford C. l. at Southside Park. The two teams played on even terms with the tie score being 5 - 6. Woodstock put on a poor display with numerous fumbles, but the lesson was profitable as Coach Young saw fit to switch several players to make the Red Devils a threat. Woodstock 1-St. Ierornes 1 On October 2, Woodstock opened their schedule in Kitchener against St. lerome's College. Little scoring took place in this game with each team managing to score a single point. However Woodstock had the edge all through the game but were killed in their tracks when they reached a scoring position. Woodstock had several chances to score single points, but their efforts were smothered by the officiating of St. lerome's. THE ORACLE W.C.l. RU J. Lefler, H. Greenly, H. German, K. Doig, D. Dewan, B. Blair, J. Toohey, J. Douglas, Mr -. Kays, Iulian, Morden and Skinner stood out for the Red Devils. Woodstock 43-Simcoe 5 The next game Woodstock outplayed and outscored Simcoe by 43 - 5. However the best play of the game was manoeuvered by Iacques, on a double reverse, which went for 87 yards and a major score. Morden and lulian, the Touchdown twins scored 33 points. Other scores went to Lefler and Wladyka. Woodstock 23-Stratford 15 What the Red Devils wanted most was to trim Stratford, and this they did by 23 - 15. Owing to the excellent blocking by Tatham, Pelletier, Forbes and Hancock, Woodstock won such an impressive victory over the Green shirts. The scoring honors went to Morden and Bier who played a sound game. Woodstock 29-Stratford 5 Vfoodstock journeyed to Stratford for a return game and stunned during the first half by the Greens major score they found it hard to get organized. After Coach Young expressed his thoughts to them at half time the Red Devils sparked by Terry Morden swamped Stratford 29-5. Terry scored four majors with Iulian getting the other one and completing four converts. The whole team played with all they had to defeat the Green shirts. Woodstock 17--Simcoe 5 On October 29, Woodstock played in Simcoe and the Red and White had to come from behind to defeat them l7 - 5. The Red team played unimpressively as a unit and THE ORACLE GBY TEAM D. Hancock, P, Julian, B. Bicr, T. Mordcn, . J. Young, Mr. E. P. Hodgins. were treated likewise by their supporters. However, Skinner, Wladyka played well, along with Willie Karn, and Doig got his first touchdown. Woodstock 18-St. Ierome's 12 RED DEVILS ARE GROUP CHAMPIONS: Defeating St. lerome's 18 - l2 the Red and White team took the third consecutive W.O.S.S.A. group title. ln the first play of the game Skinner ran 55 yards through centre Cask lack why he didn't go the rest of the wayl. Colin Forbes played a brilliant game -specializing in blocking. Morden and Lefler were the score devils with Morden getting two. Woodstock Zone Quarter-Finals Woodstock 10-Sarnia 13 Again the book was closed to the W.O.S.S.A. when they lost to Sarnia in the quarter-finals. This year the Red and White were beaten by three pointsg last year St. Thomas, after trailing the whole game scored a major in the last play. Although statistics show that Vifoodstosk had an edge on the play, Sarnia was on top in the scoring department. ln the second quarter Pete Glaab, their ace halfeback found a hole in the line and after breaking through the secondary, he side-stepped Bier and ran all the wayee a 82 yard dash for the first major score. Two minutes later Woodstock fumbled and P. Mcfjrae scored another major. This must have angered the Red Devils because in short time they carried the ball the length of the field with Morden carryinq it over the line.

For Woodstock Morden, lulian and Bier carried the leather in great style with the help of Tatham, Pelletier, and German. Another year has passed and Wood- stock has been unable to pass the quarter- finals. However, we were well represented and we hope to have better luck next year. To the rugby playervthanks for their true sportsmanship on the field: and to Coach Young -- thanks for developing a fighting team! lnfra-Mural Rugby The majority of the students in W.C.1. only think of the school team, but this year much interest was attained by the interform teams. Three teams were representing the forms -one from grades 11, one from grades 12 THE ORACLE and the other from grade 13. The initial combat on Nov. 13, saw grade 12 defeat grade 13, 5-U. The two teams were well bal- anced and only after back breaking tries were the boys from grade 12 lucky to score. This eliminated the fifth farmers and grade 12 went on to defeat grade 11, 8-1. On Nov. 26, the decisive fight was be- tween grade 11 and grade 12. The fourth formers won easily by 1O-O. Thus the inter- form rugby series ended with the fourth formers emerging victorious as undisputed senior champions. lntra-Mural Hockey For the first time in W.C.1. history, boys from out of town competed against each other on an ice surface. The senior boys were divided into three groups and the junior boys into four groups. These teams played at noon hour and their games were witnessed by numerous fans, who applauded the players, and the referee.

Grades QA, B, C, D, E, F, and G competed against each other with BG having the strongest team. ln the grade 10 group grades 10C and lOE are tied with six points each, ln the final group grades ll, 12, and 13 showed poor competition as grade ll had a much too superior team. As this bool: has gone into print before the completion of the bas- ketball series we regret that we cannot name the winners. W.0.S.S.A. Tennis W.C,1. had only two boys representing them in this accurate game and this they did with flying colours. On Sept. 20, Don Boss and Don Coles de- feated London Becl-1 Collegiate 6-1, 6-2, later in the day they defeated London South Col- legiate-ethe previous years champions, B-2, 5-5 to win the District Title.

The teani, however, was stacked up against strong opposition. Thus they were defeated in all but two games twon one, tied onel. First St. leromes defeated the Red and lflfhite -16-295 then Brantford 52-20 and E52-25 in exhibition games. Finally Woodstock de- feated Simcoe lti-ll and then tied them 15 all. Stratford defeated Woodstock 27-21 and 37-26. The second St. leromes game score was 56-21. The best game of the season was an exhibition with the local Y.M.C.A. The School won 45--11. Our Senior Team played to the best of their abilities at all Sixty-One times and deserve credit for their good sportsmanship. The personnel of the team is as follows: D. Ross, W. Bier, D. Symons, D.
