Mr. Lawr served this Collegiate faithfully and well for some thirty-two years. lam sure that we all join in wishing him happiness and good health throughout the years to come. Every school years ushers in many new faces. The enrolment this term is the heaviest in the history of the school. During the month of Qctober there were approximately 850 on the roll. Many of these come from outlying points in the country and are transported by bus to and from the city each day. The co-operation of the Suburban Board in all matters pertaining to those students is duly appreciated. l cannot refrain from expressing our thanks to a whole host of friends who have assisted us in one way or another throughout the past school year. As this Easter term draws to a close, we are forcibly reminded of the real reward f academic success. lt is to be hoped that the best efforts will be put forth by all students and the scholastic record of our Collegiate will be well maintained. ln closing, l feel that the thanks of the school generally is due to all those who have worked so well to bring forth this edition of our school magazine.

M. lawr Almost one third of a century of service suggests a mathematical problem for which Mr. Lawr has the formula, and the result is achievement. Such a contribution is notable in length of time, and devotion to duty has ever been one of Mr. Lawr's personal maxims-he gave generously of his best. Numerous and handsome gifts were pre- sented to Mr. Lawr on his retirement, and we should like to include- part of the Oracle Staffs presentation address in the l95O copy of our school magazine. We have chosen a clock, not alone for its attractiveness and usefulness, but more for the symbolism it expresses. The de- pendability and precision of such an instru- ment brings to our minds the stress that you have persistently placed on these qualities. We are reminded of the words of Colton-'He that gives a portion of his time and talent to mathematical truth, will come to all other questions with a decided advan- tage'. This is the creed which you have linked with your profession, and which you have endeavored to convey to your stu- dents through long years of service. May this gift then, Mr. Lawr, not only count off many hours and years of pleasure for you, but also bring to you pleasant rnem- ories of your association with the Wood- stock Collegiate Oracle. Mr. Lawr has been actively associated with our school publication for some years. We lose a valued adviser and friend. It is with a sense of deep regret that the W.C.l. says Au Revoir, and it is also with a sense of deep appreciation that we record this tribute to one who is a master of his profession. lt is a sincere wish of Faculty and students that happiness may light the years ahead. Our Canadian Way of life How apt we are to take things for granted in a land of plenty such as Canada. I. B. Priestley's play, The Linden Tree, Cpresented last autumn by Woodstock's own Little Theatre Playersl etched in bold relief some facts that we as Canadians might do THE ORACLE well to note. Our glimpse of postwar Eng- land assured us that postwar life in Canada is not dull. We have few frustrations-in- stead we are blest with opportunity and luxury in comparison with people in former theatres of war. Mr. Priestley throws us a definite chal- lenge. Canada is a new land whose people are not war tired nor do they face futility at many turns. Our major problem is how to take timely advantage of the opportuni- ties that await our attention, to tap our vast resources and to build a great nation on the great areas that are ours. True, we are small in numbers, but we have a definite program. lt seems but a few short months ago that we were thrust into the Atomic Ageg with that evolution came new problems, new responsibilities, and, for Canadians, the realization that we are listed as a world Power and hold mem- bership in the United Nations Organization. Mr. Priestly asserts that those peaceful Utopian days prior to world war one have passed, never to return, but with the great heritage that is ours, may We as Canadians build a way of life worthy of our tradition. To-day we are a great nation in a small universe--may we meet the challenge! Music in Our School Woodstock is indeed fortunate in hav- ing an annual Concert Series which gives citizens and students the privilege of hear- ing outstanding Artists in the music world. A little research reveals that a Concert As- sociation and an Art Association were or- ganized back in l933, but it its to be re- gretted that only the Concert Association still flourishes. There are many items of interest in the concert history of our city, but we mention just one-afternoon recitals by the visiting Artists on concert day. These are certainly remembered by many mem- bers of the staff but only vaguely by a few of the older students: however, they were gala events. We mention but two of the Artists, Percy Grainger and Thomas L. Thomas. Happy memories of these occa- sions still linger, when one thousand stu- dents listened to Artists of international fame. Fifteen Music appreciation is on our education- al agenda: music is taught in the classroom beginning with the primary public school grades, but music appreciation is by no means limited to classroom and studio. In recent years there has been a music-con- sciousness in the home which, in turn, has had its effect on community interest in better music and good concerts. It is only fair that we mention the part radio has played in creating a demand for good music but classroom instruction and participation must still form a basis for the understanding of this art. In Peace and War, music has played an important part in the life of our school and of our city. At no time did the concert service render more aid in maintaining morale in home and community life than during the war years. Leaders in industry have discovered that production is greatly speeded when music is piped into the factories while the employees are at work. Music in our school is appreciated and enjoyed by staff and students, as exempli- fied by the whole-hearted effort put behind our Operettas by the entire school. Our Memorial Plaques record the names of those who served and sacrificed their lives: no finer tribute to their memory could be estab- lished than the Memorial Organ in our Audi: tcrium AThey, too, loved music. Race Discrimination How often this subiect is brought to mind, as a subject for an oral composition or debate! But how often is anything done about erasing it? Last Fall, an under-advertised movie was shown in a local theatre. It was the story of but one of Americas millions of run- o'-the-mill families: just an ordinary family --mother, father, son and daughter. Father was a town doctor, and son, a graduate of the state university in music. As it said, Just an ordinary family in an ordinary town in the United States. Now, why was this picture produced- what motive was there behind it all? Well, you see, ever since the day the father joined the United States Navy as a surgeon lieu- tenant comrnander, the town's folk had viewed him and his family from a much dif- Sixteen ferent view point. It was discovered then that the Dr. Scott Carters were Negroes! Upon graduating from medical school, young Carter was married to a negro girl, who, like himself, had nothing about her that would suggest the word, Negro . For months after his marriage, Carter worked as a shoe builder because he could find no hospital which would allow Negro interns. Finally, as a last resort, he passed himself as a white, fully intending to change back to a Negro when he graduated as a fully qualified medical practitioner. Events, which happened later, changed Carter's plans to the extent that they decided to pass a-s whites for a few years longer. Their child- ren were born and grew up, never knowing they were anything but white children. Then, the fateful day arrived when Doctor Carter joined the navy and it was made public that he had belonged to a Negro fraternity. He was immediately asked to resign, as only white officers were allowed in the United States Navy. Many tears were shed and much grief endured before Scott Carter decided to take his family back to the town and live proudly as Negroes. Owing to some very apt and democratic views ex- pressed by the clergyman in their church, the rabidly anti-Negro ideas of the towns folk were changed and the Carter's were ac- cepted as equals. Couldn't this happen more often? Couldn't the one-tenth of the American popu- lation which is Negro, as well as all other races, be accepted as equals. Let us hope, that in this age when man is trying to broaden his knowledge of science and other physical matters, that he will also broaden his outlook, and accept all men as his friends, and, above all, his equals. Editorial Notes A word of welcome to the two new ad- ditions to the feminine side of the faculty- Mrs. Sasha Valliant who comes to us from Delhi to teach Girls' Physical Education- Miss Doris Iackson who has recently gradu- ated from the Ontario College of Education and who teaches Home Economics. Here's something to think about-The middle school has been heard to say that a Sprinq Prom fFormal Dancel held in May f?l would give the school a great lift. Sounds good, eh? Let's talk it up. THE ORACLE The older students are experienced enough not to worry very much when past laws in math., etc., are drastically changed or outrightly denied, but our younger broth- ers and sisters in Grade 9 have a question concerning curling which is constantly com- ing to their attention.-- lust how many 'last' announcements can be made per week. Toronto Subway Officials have been in- formed by our school traffic officer tguess who? that operations should start im- mediately for a W.C.l. Tooner Ville Trolley Underground Subway Service fT.V.T.U.S.S.l to relieve congestion in central halls of first and second floors of our school. ls there anyone who hasn't seen the piano t?l in the gym. lt's about time we had one that at least had workable pedals on it, n'est-ce pas? Maybe then, the orchestras that play for our dances would not have to hire a new pianist after each time they play here. Special mention should be made of our advertising staff. Their job is a tough one but they tackled it admirably this year. The Advertising and Photography staffs, respectively have done a fine iob of financ- ing the book and brightening the pages. lt seems, to the older students who have just about been through the mill as far as collegiate is concerned, that newcomers to the school get smaller every year. Maybe this is natural, but---what we would like to know is--Why are the students of the middle and upper school, especially l2C, called 'two year olds' by a certain language teacher? Savez-vous? Old houses are sometimes dilapidated. old cars are sometimes dilapidated, but it sure is a sorry state of affairs when a leading school figure openly states that Grade 13 is the most dilapidated form in the school. We feel that it is a gross over- statement tbut naturally we will do our best to fulfill that position.l Until recently only Grade 9 classes were registered in school art classes. Could any- one tell us how a Grade 13 card was found on the Art Room Bulletin Board? THE ORACLE What has that junior girls' basketball team? Whatever it is, it certainly increases attendance at the girls' games. The Oracle staff wishes to extend a hearty thank-you to everyone who has help- ed to make our school magazine a big suc- cess this year. ln Appreciation! The success of any publication such as this is dependent to a great degree on its photography. This year we awe much of our good photography to Walt and Frank. VJalt Lidston is a free lance photo- grapher well known to this district. Frank Tabor is one of our own Grade l3 students. To both of these we say Thanks . Welcome The 1950 Oracle wishes to welcome Mr. Van Sickle to the teaching staff, An Honour Graduate in Mathematics and Phy- sics at the University of Toronto, we feel that he comes to us well equipped to follow in the footsteps of Mr. Lawr.

'f .T ul tlif- tif-st Twenty five years of our live-s.eYes, to-night the cycle is complete. Every valedictorian must, by needs, have a theme: he is apparently not allowed to merely avail himself of this Glorious op- portunity to make his former teacher appear to be of a sadistic nature. The valedictorian in question is merely intended as a tool to glorify the teacher, make school appear as a dream and so buoy up the typical grade nine student that the next five years will seem to him like a loafer's paradise. What did Churchill say?- Blood, sweat, toil and tears, and these famous words can be very realistically applied to collegiate studies. In collegiate it is up to you: you either Work or you fail: these are the alternatives, I will leave it to you to chose the most pleasant. Thanks, however, to the set-up of modern so- ciety, this gory part of school life: namely, work, is sufficiently balanced by many at- tractions, rugby games, dances, basketball plus a list of study killers as long as your arm! l do believe that sports play prac- tically as important a part in the curriculum of our school as the academic studies them- selves. It is on the sportsfield that the stu- dent learns to play the game of life, for the co-operation so necessary in collegiate sports is the core of our society. Though our rousing Kininy yell re- mains transfixed in my mind there is another image which is also firmly emblaz- oned in my remembrances. This image is of the upheld, flaming torch in the W.C.I. school crest. This torch to me has always seemed symbolic of the true nature of the Woodstock Collegiate for in this torch we see a challenge, the challenge to succeed in school and in later life. l do not intend to preach a long sermon to-night on the blessings of being a perfect scholar, for I have indeed heard a great many of the same during my last five school years. I would simply like to say that there is no better backing in life than that which the W.C.l. gives its students. Therefore, to the present students of the Woodstock Collegiate Institute, on behalf of the graduating class of 1949, I pass the torch of our collegiate: be it yours to hold it high.

So it was in the eyes of Champlain as he gazed upon its natural beauty. He saw also opportunity. His, and succeeding generations grasped that opportunity, and out of their toil and hardship came a bright new nation, lull of life and hope. Ours is a good land. No war within our borders. True, we have lost much through war. Sacrifice kept aloft and burn- ing the torch of Freedom. But we have not lived in darkness because of death dealing bombs: we have never seen cities destroyed overnight: the words concentration camp brings to us no soul-shrivelling fear or mem- ory. We have not seen little children become the innocent victims of ruthless warfare. Dead? Yes thousands-their pain is past! But what of the others-blinded, maimed, bodies distorted by disease and malnutri- tion, homeless or orphaned by war? What of these? Ours is a good land. lt is not only our duty to share our good things with these unfortunate children of other lands, it is also our privilege. lt has been well said, A man never stands so straight as when he stoops to help a needy child. The name is Unicef. Dorothy Rowe, 9G Science In the Home Science is fast becoming the house- wifes best friend. Through modern inven- tion and through wartime developments, the modern home will soon become a push- button heaven. First, we shall look in upon the develop- ments up to this date, and then I shall try to unroll the future for you. Let us enter the Canuck home, a typical one, of modern design and thought. There is the Kitchen, gleaming in the white and silver of clean porcelain and burnished chro- mium. Ah, we are in luck, for Mrs. Canuck is about to prepare a tasty chicken dinner for Twenty-Slx her hard working husband fa barberl'who must have at least three squares a day. Wait,-look at the clock: she can never pre- pare such a dinner in a half an hourl How- ever, she approaches the stove, pops the chicken into theoven, flicks a switch, and begins setting the table. A red light flashes, and the chicken slides from the oven-done to a turn. Radar is the miracle, time-45 seconds! This time we see Mrs. Canuck reposing in a soft chair while the dishes are Washed and racked automatically. The floor is litter- ed. Looking about with a devil-may-care attitude she suddenly stabs a little red but- ton with her big toe.-A panel slides back, and 'Oscar the Little Wonder,' shuffles out, methodically vacuuming the floor, guided past obstacles by radar. Press the button again and he scurries back into his hole, the little door closing behind him. Would you like to wake up to soft music after a warm night's sleep? lust set that little dial on the built-in radio, push the blue button and hop in. At the pre-deter- mined hour shivers run up and down your spine-the radio is blaring 'Mule Train' fplayed backwardsl and you are almost frozen. Explanationc- when the radio starts, your electric blanket shuts off fyou're sup- posed to awake instantlyj But, never mind, just swing the icicle on the end of your nose around and press the green button. What hol The windows close, registers open and in five minutes you can jump out of bed into a warm room and don your pre-heated slippers. These slippers are unique in that they are not only heated but they also have built in headlights in case you like Wander- ing in the dark. Looking ahead I can see such things as the assembly-line dinner. Mother puts dishes of food on a moving belt tin the kitchenl, while outside ranged along the sides of a narrow table lwith belt moving down the centrel is the family who load up with each type of food as it passes. Also, the elevator would be a practical thing for basement to first floor service-felt minates needless tripsl. An automatic machine to 'burp' the triplets would be an invaluable aid to the busy mother. THE ORACLE Have you ever thought of how useful a motor-driven shoeshine box would be? Iust put in your foot, press the yellow button, and presto-either a perfect shine or a per- fect amputation. We will fof course? mix our cakes, and pie doughs with sound: discipline our homes with a robot strapping device: and ride to work in an amphibious auto-plane. This short description has only scratched the surface of what tomorrow holds for you and for everyone,-so read it and dream! Glenn Pauli, 12A On Trial Ioe lay uneasily in his one-time comfort- able bed. He tossed from side to side as though he was in the middle of a nest of ants, and through his excited mind ran the unforgettable insistent words What will they do to me? What will they do to me? He kept pleading with himself that he wasn't guilty: but how could he con- vince the keen watchful judges, who sat like serpents waiting for their opponents to make a false move. As he thought more of the case, cold sweat poured from his forehead in streams of hastening water. He wanted to sleepy he was tired. But no, those un- forgettable insistent words, What will they do to me? kept unceasingly ringing out. Time dragged very tediously on and those insistent unforgettable words were driving him mad. But then, the long await- ed chance to prove his innocence came. As his copper-faced, rugged guards led him into the gigantic brisk courtroom, he saw faces which at one time pleaded sympathetically with him, but now they gazed upon him as an outcast. He was asked to plead. As he stood on the stand his feet gave out, like those of an infant learning to walk, and he uneasily re- plied, Not guilty! Witnesses were called to the stand: one by one they released costly evidence which put fearful Ioe into hotter, deeper water. The jury with their wanton minds satisfied, then assembled to give the long awaited verdict. Ioe was left in a trance: he could not listen to the verdict: he only conquered the unforgettable insistent words by Not guilty! But all the evidence was against him. THE ORACLE The verdict was then given: up stood a bold young rascal and member of the Mus- crats and proclaimed, We find loe not guilty of missing our last meeting. I. Kapusta 12B Investigators Ambling through the empty corridor was a strange, mysterious-looking fellow. Was he a spy sent out from behind the lron Curtain to disrupt our educational system or our social enterprises? His eyes were quivering from suspense as he looked cau- tiously into every window, opened every door to make his reconnoitring complete. Slowly, stealthily, this grim character inched his way up the marbled hall. Soon he was rnet by fellow accomplices. A steady hum was heard as they discussed their plans. The crowd slowly shuffled on to their desti- nation. All at once two husky individuals ap- peared on the scene: their plans were thwarted but not squelched. They quickly dispersed down the hall, each his own way. The prowlers then met at a predestined place. The gang counselled among them- selves how they would enter the room to delve into their secret work. Then, heavy tramping of feet was heard resounding through the building as this band of faith- ful confederates marched boldly but con- fidently into the room. They slid into the seats at the rear of the well-lighted audi- torium. There was a sigh of satisfaction as this band sat together. After receiving their last minute instructions, they dispersed in rapid succession. To-morrow morning these grade nine students will enter the halls of learning more readily and easily, their sojourn with in- tellectual thoughts begun! Allan Boswell, 12A FIRST PRIZE STORY Justice The priest's last words fell on his ears, but he didn't hear as they echoed emptily through the cell corridor. Seconds later the cell door opened to admit two blue-jacketed guards. The prisoner arose and followed them down a dim and windowless passage to the death chamber. It was too late to pro- Twenty-Seven test. Ten minutes later he was dead and the case of Hugo Marx was closed. ln life Hugo Marx was a rather tall and slender man with slightly stooped shoulders. His face was lined and his blue eyes had a rather melancholy cast to them. He had cul- tivated a small moustache, which was one of the few things he meticuously groomed. His hair was greyed around the temples and badly in need of a haircut. Hugo Marx was born on the German French border town of Chamoix of German parentage. His father had been a musician of no small means: but like most of his class in those days his means were small. He only managed to eke out a meagre living with his talents. Hugo's mother had been a rather large and plump fraulein with ro- tund figure and twinkling blue eyes. Hugo remembered her just that way the day that her little Hugo left their thatched house and garden of a thousand colours for the war under their glorious Kaiser Wilhelm. She stood there and waved goodbye to me. I can still see her there in a blue smock and white apron against the red brick wall, he used to tell his friends. Hugo Marx was taken prisoner of war and in the ensuing years obtained his free- dom and came to America. He was hired by a toy factory and worked there until the aftemoon of that fateful day. He had gone to book passage, one way, to his home in Germany. He was walking down Forty-third Street picturing the old cottage as he knew it would be. The streets were deserted but he thought nothing of it, the only thing occupying his mind was that he was going home at last. Ach! l am going home at last to see the folks. It has been such a long time. I can still picture the red house as if it was yesterday. The yellow straw that the spar- rows chirped in on the roof and that smoky old chimney. Tha' sooty old chimney! I wonder if the flower garden is the same and the walk down to the river where Ienny and l used to go. I wonder where- -Oh, that man has been hurts here's something on the street a gunrf fit's heavy! Drop that gun, buddy! Gun? gun, whose gun, what Drop that gun!! Twenty-Eight Gun! Oh this! Here, officer, I picked it up on the sidewalk. That is what they all say, buddy! Come on, into the wagon with you! But, officer, I didn't-you know very well-my trip-l'm already to leave-but, officer, I didnt. Into that wagon, buddy, We don't play with murderers!! Murderers! ! Douglas Hancock, I3 The Watcher Everytime that I have just comfortably seated myself in room 211, I feel the pre- sence of a dark mysterious man fwho really does need a shave? spying me out of the corner of his eyes. It seems to me he watches no one else in the room just be- cause I sit in the back seat of the second row. Oddly enough he has never spoken to me yet, although I have expected it by the look he is always giving me. One day I almost threw a book at him because he had tormented me so much. This is the effect that I get from the pic- ture of William Shakespeare sitting on his lofty perch on the side Wall of 211. Grant Thompson, l IC My locker You'll find a card of bobby-pins, A toothless comb, a nail file thin, A wallet that is old and grey, A lip-stick that has had its day. A scarf, a tie, a kerchief too, A rubber and perhaps a shoe. A Christmas list for Mom and Pop, A shopping memo I forgot. A letter that is two years old, A fancy brooch that looks like gold. A postage stamp without the glue, A stick of gum, a candy too. These things you'l1 find, and if you look You'll discover-perhaps-a Book! Iudy Bain, 12C Saved The traveller stands on the brink of the hill: Tired, hungry, and ready to drop, But lo, in the valley! a whiff of smoke Urging him on to that habited spot. THE ORACLE Soft snow covers rough rolling ground, He staggers, leans, and falls. There he lies, 'till by benignant fate He is found by the cottager's hound. Waking next morn, he gazes around A small room, not much at all. But Death's without, and he's within And he thanks the God who saved him. Bob Moore, I3 FIRST PRIZE POEM Spring The spring is full of blossoms, Of buds and early shoots: The spring is full of whispers, Of newly fashioned suits. The spring is full of sunshine, And little sprinkling showers: The spring is full of colours, And May-time springing flowers. The spring is full of choruses, Of little chirping birds: The spring is full of rudiments, And full of jolly words. The spring is full of gaiety, And of old things born anew: The spring is full of laughter, Of joy and gladness too. Iune Bragg, 13 Out of the Mouths of Babes Tom? Yes, Ray, -absently I go on reading the paper. Tom? Yes, Ray . This time I look up and pull my mind away from the paper. My six year old brother has a way of repeating the word until my attention is fully attracted. Tom what is a parade? I explain to him that a lot of people walk down the street with flags and posters and that crowds line the sidewalks and watch the people in the parade. Ray lies spread-eagle on the floor and thoughtfully stares at the comics. I read the paper 'Albert Einstein Published New Theory of Gravitation -After 30 years of figuring and studying, Albert Einstein, the eminent mathematician, has finally released Tom? -a new gravitational theory. Yes, Ray. Tom when is a parade coming here? THE ORACLE l don't know, Ray. You don't, Tom? A shocked expres- sion, then a horrified silence. Ray thinks I know everything. He stares thoughtfully. I continue reading. 'Only I5 years ago Einstein gave to the world the astounding Theory of Relativity. Now he has-' Tom? Yes, Ray. Tom, do you like being in a parade? Certainly, Ray, everybody likes being in a parade. I wouldn't like being in a parade, Tom. Strange people staring at me would make me feel 'squirmy'. Ray is a shy, thoughtful, fellow and what he says fits him exactly. Why should I feel 'squirmy', Tom? I don't know, Ray. Another horrified silence. I realize that my brother is going to think I am pretty stupid and I resort to another method. Well, Ray, I say, God sees you all the time and that doesn't make you 'squirmyf does it Ray? A short silence. No, Tom, but God isn't strange people. Something about this reasoning hits me between the eyes and I put down the paper and think it over. Suddenly the greatness of the statement amazes me and I sincerely wish I had said it. ln fact I wish I could have said it or anything that would approach it serious little In my mind I place it up in the head- lines of the paper with Albert Einstein. It looks natural there. 'God isn't strange people, Hmmmmf Tom. 'Out of the mouths of babes. Hmmmmf Yes, Ray. -absently. Ray stares thoughtfully at the comics. Dave Dewan, 13 Sweet Dreams Don was riding along in his atomic run car on a back road on the moon when he saw ahead of him a rickety old shack standing out against the horizon. This being a very unusual sight, he glided to a stop in front of it. Glancing around the hovel- like place, he noticed that there were no windows in it, but there was a sign on the Twenty-N ine door which read, Look at the earth this moonlit night. Hesitatingly Don rapped on the door- he hardly knew whether to go in or not, but he wanted to see this queer earth . A thin old man with a long white beard and ragged white hair pulled open the door which made a shrill squeaking sound. Then he cupped his hands in front of him. When Don, not knowing exactly what he wanted. gave him a five dollar bill, the old man's eyes, set like coals among the wrinkles of his face, seemed to take on a new glow. Without a word, he slowly lifted his right hand and beckoned with his talon- like fingers for Don to enter. The old man led him to a stool and Don sat down in front of a telescope. The night being clear, Don could see the earth in all her autumn glory. There were the lovers in the park. There were the rippling streams and frothing waterfalls be- side which stood the trees painted in yellow and crimson. The more he watched, the more he longed to be there. After some time, he rose from the stool and hurried out of the shack. He had five minutes to get to the spaceship station one-hundred miles away. He spread the wings on the side of the car, and went overland reaching the station in ample time. As the ship was gliding toward earth, it crashed against an ascending ship. Don could feel himself falling, falling through space. lt seemed as if he was never going to land. Suddenly he jumped when he heard his teacher shout, It is ten after four, and your bus is pulling out! Wilma Scott, 12A Sixteen Charlotte was sweet sixteen,-an age at which through starry eyes, the world is a wonderland, shining and bright. Things were especially rosy this mild, Iune evening, as Charlotte King sat before her mirror, getting ready for her date . In Just ten minutes, Dave Kennedy would drive his shiny blue convertible up to the door. She'd wait until she counted ten after the door-bell rang. Ther. she floated down the stairs in her velvet dinner gown to find Dave chatting with her father, in the draw- ing room. Dave was tall, handsome and twenty- four. A former high-school rugby star, he was the idol of the boys and was classed dream-dust by the girls of her crowd. Any one of the beautiful girls would have wel- comed the chance to be his companion, but Thirty Dave had chosen Charlotte for this evening The door-bell sounded, interrupting her day-dreaming. She reached for her mother's white wool coat and slipped it over 'her shoulders. Mother hadn't thought it neces- sary that Charlotte borrow the coat for to- night but finally consented. Charlotte's one dream was to impress the good-looking Dave Kennedy. Fixing a smile on her lips, she walked down the stairs and in her soft- est voice said hello to the dark man Wait- ing in the hall. We won't be late, Mrs. King, Dave called over his shoulder as they walked to the low blue car waiting at the curb. Stopping at a low stone house in the outskirts of town and taking her arm, Dave helped Charlotte out of the car and up the walk to where a pretty faced woman waited in the lighted doorway. Hel1o, Mrs. Kennedy, murmured Charlotte. l'm so glad you could come, Char, smiled the woman. There are sandwiches and cokes in the ice-box. I put the baby to bed while Dave was picking you up, I left the radio on for you. 'Byel We Won't be late. Dreamy-eyed, Charlotte watched the young couple drive off in the low conver- tible. From the room behind her came the strains of the currently popular- I can dream can't I? Mary Roberts, I3 Home I probably don't think proudly of my home. It's just taken for granted. It's there-it's comfortable: it's just home. But once stricken with a terrible attack of homesickness, I realize how much it really means to me. Home is lolling on the living-room floor and reading the funnies. It's my best friend coming over to spend the night and do homework and try out new hair styles. Home is the first picture I painted which still hangs in mother's room. It's Dad valiantly swallowing down my first choco- late cake and exclaiming, It's delicious . Home is the many small articles I col- lect through the years, useless but precious. It's where my first formal is tried on and where I wait in a dither for my date to come with my first corsage. Home is where I fall over skaies and hockey sticks, bats and balls which my brother keeps in circulation. It's knock-down and drag-out fights, conciliations, love, tears, and laughter. THE ORACLE Home! Well, when I come to think of it, home is many things and all very won- derful at that. Ruth Appleton, llC Destiny If it were only possible To view the coming years, I wonder, would we welcome them With happiness or tears? Do we really want to know Each laugh or sigh that lies ahead, Or with this knowledge would our days Be filled with fear and dread? Would coming trials their shadows cast To haunt us night and day And occupy our thoughts with horror While at work or play? Although we often breathe the sigh I wish I could foresee, I believe we're much the happier lust the way we be. Ioanne Passmore, lZA Sonnet To-day we of the Christian faith must heed The far-flung cry of fellow men in pain. Subdued by the -tragic communistic deeds, These stagger quickly under the load and strain. The dark o'er shadowing hand of death is near. And from the loved one's hearts must ever flow, The true emotion, silenced now by fear, To weep again should they overpower the foe. Is this the future of children in years to come, That they must live in fear both day and night? No! I know, this call will stir in some A realization of the wrong to right. So let us, quickly, to arms! to-day, my friend! And help to bring their sorrows to an end. I. Facey, 13 Drama The clock ticked steadily and monoto- nously on its lonely way, its hollow voice echoing through the room in which silence reigned supreme. The air seemed charged with an almost imperceptible current of ten- sion, the room waiting for something half fearfully. Outside the wind howled with a fiend- ish glee, trees groaned and swayed and rain drummed a weird rhythm on the roof as it bounced and slid off. Still from the huge room came no sound and the silence THE ORACLE became oppressive. The floor creaked and a suppressed sigh followed as if from some- one weary and beaten, but nothing hap- pened. Foot steps sounded in the outer hall, approached the room, paused, and some- one chuckled wickedly, as if listening. Then the unknown personage turned and con- tinued on, their steps echoing through the long corridor, ringing and yet eerie. Still from within the room came only a groan and the sound of the clock. Suddenly, startingly, the silence was shattered into fragments by a cry of victory! The oppressiveness disappeared, relief surg- ed through the room! There was movement as if things and people were once again coming to life. The sighing and groaning ceased and peace reigned in the room, once again alive! Algebra question number 22 page IO4 had been battled, conquered, and solved! Yvonne Potter, llA Doubt The girl walked dejectedly down the dark gloomy school corridor, the old floor creaking with each hesitant step. She look- ed guilty, with her eyes downcast, avoiding the glances of everyone she passed. Her thoughts dwelt upon one thing- what would her friends think of her now? Would they think she was terrible after what she had done? They had not heard yet, but she knew that they soon would, and she could not keep it from them. But would she be able to face them? She pic- tured herself facing a roomful of staring eyes and shuddered. Perhaps they would laugh and snicker at her when she walked past. Oh, why had she done it? But it was too late. What was done was done. Only time would soften the effects of her deed. She would have to face them in the meantime, and very soon for she was there, but could she open the door and face them? Her lips set in grim determination. She clutched the knob and slowly turned it, her heart pound- ing. Suddenly, the girl she dreaded the most looked up, Why look, girls! Look at what Nan has done! lsn't that cute, cried some others. I'm going to have my hair cut just that way, said another. The frown on Nanfs shy worried face broke into a wreath of smiles. Thanks, girls, she said, and life looked livable again.

'hr mnnhztnrk - Elngvrnnll Svvntinrl Qivuirni ir Oxford County's Only Daily Newspaper Tl11fTY TWO THE ORACLE Sa in Qmde 7 THE ORACLE Thirty-Three 9.4 Silent Appreciation Rex gazed blankly into the room as he entered. Get to the barn with you, shouted Mr. Gump staggering toward him. The dog cringed at the sound of the loud voice, turned and walked slowly out the door with eyes cast downward. Rex settled in the shade by the milkstand, but was suddenly interrupted by a sharp noise: he felt a terrific shock through his body: he yelped with pain, and then whimpered like a baby. Looking down he saw blood trickl- ing from his paw. He awkwardly arose and hobbled to the woods to look for some cool water in which to bathe his wound. He put his paw in the stream and did not hear a lad running toward him, but felt himself being gently lifted from the ground. The next thing Rex knew he was in a room with beautiful drapes and the softest of rugs underneath him. What was he doing here? Then he re- membered his paw. That was it! Mr. Gump had shot him. The whole situation came back to his mind. Suddenly he heard voices in the next room. Ken, your collie's up, smiled Mr. Martin. Ken tore into the room with ioy and amazement. There sat Rex looking rather annoyed at the clumsy bandage on his paw, which always seemed to get in his way. Would you like to stay with us for a while, Old Boy? asked a voice behind him. Rex understood those sweet words. He was not at all pretty at this moment: he was thin and shGqQY with a badly matted tail. Rex would change in this home though, for at that very moment Ken picked him up and put him in a tub of warm sudsy water. How his coat shone and glistened in the sun after he had been dried and brushed! Do you know Ken, it would be a swell idea to call that yzung Collie of yours Sparkles. Dad! that's great! Days rolled past short and sweet for Rex and soon the snow began to fall. Sparkles. sighed Ken one Saturday after- noon. We're leaving for Florida Monday: you won't be able to come with us, but Thirty-Four we'll be back next month. In the meantime you will be staying with Bill and Ianet next door. For a while it looked as if Rex was settling into his new home, but as the days passed he became' more and more lonesome I'm afraid we'll have to leave you now, for Ken. Not knowing where the Martins had gone he set out one cold, frosty morning in hope of finding them. He travelled many miles out into the country, over slippery roads, and through thick woods. Rex became very cold, tired and hungry. Finally as night fell he was so stiff and sore that he could hardly walk and looked for shelter. Rex thumped his tail against the door of a farmhouse and collapsed from exhaus- tion. His knock was answered by an elderly woman shabbily dressed with an old shawl around her shoulders. She stared helplessly at the dog, and then dragged him in by the fur. She picked up the receiver and phoned the veterinary. The dog is in serious condition, Mrs. Grey. All you can do for him is to keep him wrapped up and try to make him drink a little warm milk. During the next few weeks Mrs. Grey nursed Rex back to health and he became a real pal to the family. He loved Baby Ieff and would sleep on the floor beside the cradle watching his every move with in- terest. t One afternoon while the baby was sleeping and Mrs. Grey was finishing the week's ironing, she heard a crying voice outside the back door. H Mrs. Grey, wept a small boy, Mommy fall kerplunk on the ice, hurt her- self and can't get up. At this bad news Mrs. Grey jumped up from the ironing board, threw a coat over her shoulders, looked at the baby who was still sound asleep and told Rex to look after him, to await her return. Rex closely guarded the cradle, but was suddenly alarmed by the smell of smoke. He sniffed the air, then went to investigate. At the door of the kitchen he saw flames springing from the ironing board. THE ORACLE What would Rex do? The fire was spreading quickly and the kitchen was fill- ing with smoke. He ran wildly through the house, looking for a place to get out. Ah! He remembered, the window in the dining room was cracked. He sprang through the window with full force and the glass fell to the ground. He sprang back into the house, leaped on the cradle and firmly grabbed the baby by its clothing between his teeth. Rex could feel his heart pounding inside as he felt the heat from the flames. The baby was heavy but he managed to climb into a chair and out the broken window to safety, just as the flames were crawling near him. Newspaper photographers took pictures showing that the house had been burned to the ground. Also in the paper was a large picture of Rex rescuing the child. Ken recognized this picture immediately as his dog, and went to find him. When Ken walked into the house where the Greys were staying, Rex heard his voice and came dashing up stairs covered with cuts and scratches. He placed both paws up on Ken's shoulders and licked his face. Marilyn Iones, 9E A School Day I wake, shall I say, At half-past eight: I rush to and fro That I won't be late. 'With a push and a word From a helping hand, I hurry and scurry As fast as I can. W'hen I am finally ready, I gesture good-bye: Then I call for a friend And the two of us fly. But before getting far We return for our books: They do not receive Our much needed care. Since assigned by our teacher For inspection to-day We'll just have to go, But don't worry-we'll pay When our work is completed! For that day at least We relax with a soda rm-: onacrs Or some other treat. And when it's late And we go to bed, Do we drift into drearnland Like two sleepy heads? Or do we rest quietly And recall the way We learned, had fun, And worked thru the day? Barbara Brown, QD Books Are like Magic Carpets Books are a pleasant pastime that many of us enjoy. When I read a book and I am interested, it seems I am floating away to the time and place where the story occurs. I feel that I am right there to witness the whole thing. Some people actually feel they are in the action, endure the pains, enjoy the excitement, cheer when the hero cheers, and cry when the mistreated is hurt. A book, then, represents a magic carpet that takes me through many adventures, and after it is over, I am safe and sound in my own home. Frances Ion, 9B I l I .

THE ORACLE RECEIVING AT THE NEW YEAR'S DANCE Mr. E. J. Pow, Mrs. E, P. Hodgms, Mrs. Pow, Mr. Hodguns, Nancy Fleischer, Don Gaynor. The New Years As in other years we had all waited with great eagerness for the New Year's Dance, and now it was upon us. As in the past it was a bigger and better success than ever. Although it was held a complete day before New Years, this failed to dampen the enthusiasm for the dance. The decorating committee, led by Doug Hancock, created a new world cut of the school's gymnasium. Over each end, there hung a false ceiling of deep blue, reaching out to the centre where a huge Christmas free resplendent in bulbs and tinsel towered upward. Balloons hung from the ceiling, and were dropped at Midnight when all bedlarn broke loose. Everyone was declzed cut in high hats, and with tcctirig hcrns wished one and all a very happy New Year. THE ORACLE At the far end of the gym, on a gaily- decorated bandstand sat Tim Eaton of Brant- ford and his orchestra. At the door, Mr. and Mrs. E. I. Pow and Mr. and Mrs. E. P. Hodgins formed the receiving line. Mr. Pow and his wife started a snowball dance, and Diane Thompson and Bob Geoghegan won the Elimination Dance. To the Board of Education, and to all those who made the New Year's Dance the huge success that it was, we say Thanl:s . Formal The Arabian Nights were effectively portrayed by palm trees, magic carpets and sultry harem girls for our Annual At Home on February l7.

School Spirit ls schcol spirit the ccntagecus enthu- siasm that reigns throughout the school be- icre a rugby or basketball game?---Perhaps. ls school spirit the thought of alarm that runs through the student prior to exams?- Maybe. Or still further, is it the general feeling or attitude existing among both the students and teachers of the collegiate? The last question seems to be arriving closer to the mark. School spirit can not be attributed to any one subject. It is the actual lite of the school. From our observations we realize that school spirit is a very flexible subject. lt may be good or it may be bad, but its pre- sence is always known. lt can make or break a school. Good spirit in a school is shown in many ways. The athletic teams provide one means, whether they win or lose. School societies are another means ot showing school spirit. More important still is the academic prowess of the students. But the most important, that by which a school is iudged, is the character oi the men and wo- men who are elevated from its halls.

The boys, for the most part, trained hard for the W.O.S.S.A. track meet held at Little Memorial Stadium in London in May. Coach Young took a large team ot seniors tor several events running as tol- lows: ToddeOne-halt mile: TaylorYl00 and 220 yards: Murray-One-quarter mile, Fleuty +One-half mile and Colesfl00 and 220 yards. Intermediates were: Danos-hurdles and 100 yards. Thornton-One-halt mile: Poole -Running Broad and l00 yards. THE ORACLE Ron Hulse placed fourth in the senior mile to get the only point of the day for Woodstock. Reaching the semi-finals were Murray, Danos and Thornton, while Poole showed up well in the field events. Track and field, having just been reorganized, is starting to hold its own in the school and is showing increasing popularity. A track meet in the Spring should assist the Coach to choose competitors tor the coming W.O.S.S.A. meet.

This year promises to be very success- ful and the officers of the club wish to ex- press their thanks to Mr. I. G. Dunlop whose assistance and interest made the club pos- sible. W.0.S.S.A. Badminton Although Badminton is a minor sport in our hall of learning, the W.C.I. has been well represented in W.O.S.S. for years. The boys and girls who enter W.O.S.S.A. bad- minton do so on their own and have no as- sistance from the school whatsoever. It is time something was done about this. Early last March our school was ably represented by Don Murray and Howard Ransom at the W.O.S.S.A. meet held at Beal Technical School in London. Competition was very stiff but our boys easily fought their way to the Semi-finals. After a thrilling match they emerged victorious over Strat- ford to move into the finals. Top honour came in two straight games defeating River- side Collegiate to the tune of l5-O and l5-8 bringing the Senior boys' doubles' trophy back to Woodstock again. ln the mixed doubles Pete Ferguson and Aveleigh Hepworth fought their way into the semi-finals in which they were beaten by a Stratford Team. This year Woodstock will be represented again in W.O.S.S.A. badminton and it is to be hoped they will again be successful.

Half Backflack Chisnallf 'lack proved his worth as a good back fielder this year. We will miss him next year. Centre+Bruce Cunninghamf Creeper played a strong game at all times and ably held up the centre of the line. Inside-Dcn ColeWDon in his first year of W.O.S.S.A., was our touch-down lineman and played a good game offensively and de- fensively. lnsidegltlbert SmithW Al used his weight to advantage both offensively and defensively. See you next year Al. THE ORACLE Middle-Stan WallacefStan in his first season of rugby played a very Qood game along the line. MiddlefwDon KarnfeDon was the man with the weight and was a great asset to the line. Endfelohn Poole-P- Iohnny was a good tackler and made several nice runs while in action. End, 4Bob Moore-Bob ably held up the other end of the line by playing Well at all times. HalfffGrant ThompsonfGrant should prove a good back-fielder next year judging from the little action he saw this year. EndACharlie Whitehead-Charlie must be given much credit for keeping up the morale of the team and for coming to prac- tices although seeing action only once.

For the Crowd--We, the team were glad to see the great number of supporters this year as it does much to spur us on. Much obliged! Statisticianelames Carnwathfulimmyn did an excellent job of recording all our games this last year. Fifty-Seven London Beck Downs Red Devils 10 - 6 A pre-season game with London's Sir Adam Beck gave Coach Young a chance to see the material he had to work with this year. .Although playing well all the time the Red Devils were out scored by 4 points. ln the first few minutes of play Ferguson kicked fcr a single point. Beck tallied with a maior. This rather riled our boys as could be seen. and they started to play. However, Beck succeeded in getting another uncon- verted tcuchdown. In the last half of the game Woodstock kept the ball most of the time. George Douglas got the only major for our boys in the last half making a brilliant catch. How- ever, he proved his ability as an end all during the season. Tackling a bit too low Bob Danos re- ceived two chipped teeth, but played on till the accident was noticed and he was taken out. Although out-weighed consider- ably, the Red Devils' front line held up ex- ceedingly well. St. Ieromes Defeat W.C.I. Team 30 - 1 Fumbles can be blamed directly for the loss of this first league game which the Red Devils played in St. Ieromes, For three periods of the game our boys had a good chance of defeating the highly regarded Green and Yellows. According to statistics the Red and White fumbled 13 times and re- covered twice. Pass defense was also a weak point. To say much about such a game is difficult. Along the line the first stringers seerned to be making holes only to have the ball fumbled or the wrong man take it. Fleuty, Taylor and Clynick were outstand- ing for VV.C.l. breaking through and making many tackles. For a young and green team cur felfows did alright, and, if injuries hadn't taken 'Wladyl-ca and Fleuty, the W.C.I. gridders might have made the score a little dzfferent. lt is to be hoped that improvement gn all depart:r.er.ts will be made before the boys play their next game. Eddy kicked the only point for the Red and White in the fire' auarer, and only trailing B-l at the end Cf 'he 3rd quarter a score of 30-l was not zcreseen. Red Devils Down Simcoe ll - 5 Faced by big Eddy who scored ll ,,t,:r.':, the Red Devils defeated Simcoe for Fifty-Eight .- , - A 4, ----- f Aieirrom if FOR OVER HALF A CENTURY WOODSTOCICS l LEADING THEATRE ir l APHTOTL THE ORACLE their third consecutive win. 260 yards in penalties were handed out and 2 touch downs were not counted which made a very dull game for the spectators. The first major for the Red Devils was a long flat pass to Wladyka who Went over standing up. After intercepting a pass Danos ran the ball for GO yards. Another pass to Wladyka scored the second major. With Danos and Wladyka playing extremely well a strong passing team seemed to be de- veloping. Eddy got the llth point for the Red and White. Taylor and lim Douglas made some driving run-backs, while the boys along the line certainly did a fine job of holding out the Blue and White. Red Devils Wallop Stratford 30 - 5 Rarnming over three touch downs in the first quarter, the Red Devils easily whipped their life-long rivals again. A fumble picked up by Clynick accounted for the lst major. A pass Danos to Douglas net the next 5 points. A long drive up the field set big Ed up to go over on a quarter sneak standing up. I-le converted himself. Five minutes later a pass from Ed to Clynick brought the third tally, and with Douglas converting the Red Devils took a comfortable l7 - 0 lead. A dash around the end by Hesson net Stratford their only major. ln the 3rd and 4th quarters Woodstock pushed their heredi- tary rivals all over the field. Two good kicks by Wladyka brought 2 points. Don Taylor walked over for another major from the 2 yard line. Stratford's line was literally crumbled. Red Devils Trounce Stratford 16 - 0 At the end of the half the score was W.C.I. U-S.C.l. O. An inspiring little talk by Coach Young seemed to add new life to the team and they went on the field in a fighting mood. Danos intercepted a pass and ran 66 yards for the opening major. Shortly after this a fake kick by Eddy and a beautiful hand off to Danos sent him around the end for another 5 points. Big Eddy kicked a single at the start of the 4th quarter which started the boys rolling again. A pass, Danos to Douglas, scored the final major. Douglas was all over the field and with Clynick on the other end excellent tackling was carried on. Along the line Lefler, Eleuty, Totten and Axelrod made terrific holes. THE ORACLE The final major was somewhat of a standout in the game in that Wladyka, al- though covered by two Strats, climbed after a long pass from Danos, caught it with one hand, pulled it down and romped over. Chummy converted. The whole front line was outstanding, Lefler, Eleuty, Totten, Axelrod, Douglas and Clynick pulverising Stratford's line with hard blocks and rugged tackles. Red Devils Overtake Simcoe To Win 22 - 10 After the first 10 minutes of the game in which jacques and Lindsay scored for Simcoe on an interception and a fumble, the Woodstock crew became organized and the game was one sided thereafter. Hard driv- ing bucks through good holes by Clynick, Taylor and Poole set Eddy up to drive over for a 5 point start. Taylor successfully con- verted for another point. ln the second quarter Clynick succeed- ed in blocking a kick which bounced over the touch line and was fallen on by Don Coles for a second five. An interception by Clynick who ran for 25 yards, net the third major. Taylor again drop kicked for the I . t y Compliments of E y t l Harper's Sport l l t Centre l Athletic Supplies 354 DUNDAS TEL.

Taylors run-backs were something out of this '.-:orld at one time smashing through the '.-:hole St. leromes team running the ball about 40 yards. Eddy crashed over for the only matcr and ran the ball many times netting good gains.

Playing a particularly blood thirsty team the Red Devils finished their season, by playinq their best game. Memorial Service On November 10 at 2.30 p.m. the stu- dents, dressed in school uniforms, assembled in the auditorium for the Annual Memorial Service. Dr. R. C. Wallace, President and Vice-Chancellor of Queens University, who was our guest speaker, gave a very force- ful and stirring address based on our duty to the ever remembered dead. After every war there is an aftermath of dissension and restlessness and the duty of everyone is to understand his neighbours better. The speaker emphasized that we in our genera- tion cannot hope to transform the world, but by a more charitable understanding of other people, we can help to remember those who didn't count the cost but gave the one thing they held dearest. Max McGee, at the console of the memorial organ gave us a stirring rendition of, Andante Cantabilef' The soloist, Miss Myrtle Waterland, sang There is No Death. Following this programme, the students, led by flag bearers Hoy Beatty and Elgin Baker, filed silently to the main hall where Barbara Iohnson and Iudy Bain decorated the Metnorial Plaque with flowers. Reveille and the Last Post were sounded by Bugler Wilfred Manning. A great tribute was paid to the Wood- stock Collegiate when Principal Wallace stated informally after the service that ours was the most impressive service he had ever attended.

Stratford tallied with a basket and they looked very strong, but, another long shot from Centre by Wladyka ended the game with a lead of one basket and 2 points. Ace Taylor deserves credit for the way he plays with his knee in a brace. He was a great asset to the team, boosting its moral and its score. Good work, fellows, it was a tough game and a good one.

Ace Taylor and Wladyka played hard with Douglas and O'Bright netting 5 points between them. This score was not too one sided and the next game is to be looked forward to. The Devils shooting seemed otf and they could not keep the Saints in check. A thrilling game was witnessed with no one put oft because of tive fowls.

Only four men scored for the St. Ierornes team while six ot the Red Devils potted points. Bob White was the most aggressive netting 8 points while McLeod was right be- hind with 6.

A novelty was introduced in November when we had Mrs. Sullivan play the piano tor rhythmics classes. lanuary was started with class periods and intertorm basketball. March and April will be devoted to gymnastics and general activities, the latter being a new addition to the curriculum. The term general activities means work on the horse, buck, box, rings, wall bars and mats. Grades ll, l2, and l3 will have class instruction in badminton, and those wishing to enter the tournament will be able to do so. ln the latter part ot spring Mrs. Valliant will introduce two new games to the girls - speedball and field ball. THE ORACLE ln the extra-curricular programme we have the intertorm class competition and tournaments mentioned above, and are in- troducing 3 new activities, table tennis, swimming, and tumbling. Considering all the new and old activi- ties let us hope that we will have several winners ot the large Honour W's. Volleyball lnferlorm This year the winning team ot volley- ball was llB.

Eleanore was such a steady player that even the final score of our first qame, 42-ll did not excite her. Be- ina the server she moved all over the floor, playina excellently in each position.

After many gruelling months we pro- ceeded to our W.O.S.S.A. volleyball games in London. The first game with London Central was fast-moving and the team worlc was perfect. Our morale was boosted as the final score was 42-ll for Woodstock. Mr. Box, who runs W.O.S.S.A. volley- ball, had his own schedule and no team knew whom they were playing next, whether they won or lost. Although our spirits were then high, they were soon exhausted, because we next came up against the Stratford team, who were the champions. Woodstock played a hard gruelling game, but were defeated by the champions in the end. THE ORACLE With our spirits low, we then proceeded to play Exeter, who also had a very capable team. With the news of rotation and the coming up of Stratford we lost to Exeter in the third game. The red and white girls came home tired and exhausted, coming fourth in the series. Cheerleaders loan Sutton, loanne Metherell, Doreen Palmer, ludy Bain, Grace Thornton, and Marilyn Free.

Boys' Bugle Band put in a successful season during the spring and fall of '49. The band took part in the cadet church parade and inspection and was under the super- vision of: W.O. l-Tom Kays Sgt.-Ed. Wladyka Cpls.-K. Doig and L. Branch The Bugle Band also took part in the May 24th celebrations held in the city. When the school opened in September the band re-organized, donned their gunny cos- tumes and led the school in their annual field day parade. The band is looking towards a still greater year in l95O. L. Branch, 13 Tlle Girls' Trumpet Baml OFFICERS President - - Mario lohnston Vice-President - V - Isabel Mason Secretary V - Dorothy Nettleton Treasurer ----- Doreen Otto lust one year ago the Girls' Trumpet Band was organized by Mr. Turner. Within a matter of weeks the Band made its first appearance heading the Girls' Cadet Corps on the occasion of the Cadet lnspection. Since that time the Girls' Trumpet Band has had many appearances. During the fall term the Band was a familiar sight at Rugby Games where stirring music and gay cos- tumes gave a college atmosphere to these sporting events. Early in the school year the Band spon- sored the Trumpet Trot in order to raise money to buy Blazers. With thirty-two active and enthusiastic members the Band is headed for great things. Perhaps, a few years from now, when you are visiting the Canadian National Ex- hibition you will sit in the huge grandstand and watch a two-hour show put on by the outstanding bands of Canada and United States. As 'you sit there, a band led by a high-stepping Majorette will appear and you will be thrilled to hear the announcer shout - The Woodstock Collegiate Girls' Trumpet Band.

APPLY AT YOUR LOCAL ARMOURIES For a life of comradeship join the Canadian Army THE ORACLE Seventy-Five I Went To Banff This phrase so easily and quickly said :s worthy ot consideration for a few rninutes. Nay l in briefest outline trace the pattern :I an experiment in citizenship which the Cadet Services of Canada is conducting aztiona our own Canadian youth. The plan is this. Clut of two hundred thousand Cadets, and several thousand CS. :f C. officers one hundred and fifty Cadets and ten Cffioers are chosen to attend a sum- :::er trainzna camp at Banff, Alta. for three 1-seeks each year. Merit is the basis upon '.-:inch the award is made. The Cadets live in tents, four chosen :rom four different parts of Canada. Their equipment is the finest: their food is excell- ent- their hours of work and play are well divided. Their training is under the guidance of the Canadian Arrny. There is enough dis- cipline to mal-ce one respect oneself, This is immediately evident in the healthy pride of bearing which marks an R.C.A. Cadet. Under the -guidance of some of the finest 1fiSlYUCiCT5 in the land the boys are taught radio ccrnniunications, first aid, living out of doors and cff the country. First last and always personal cleanliness must be super- I lative. The lesson in Citizenship is not in the curriculump it is a spontaneous, yet con- tagious thing. For a day or two one sees on all sides a petty provincialism. French Canadian boys walk together: so do the Scotties from the West Coast. ,Before the end of the first week, LaPlante from Quebec, Shane from Ontario, McDonald from British Columbia are buddies: yes, they have even adopted for their leisure hours, Barbara from St. Louis, Bette from New Orleans, and lean from Edmonton. tThe girls were students at the Banff School of Fine Artsl. The days go by. Each hour that passes finds a new exchange of ideas, a new bond of friendship being developed. At the end of the day when the entries in this ledger of life are balanced out, there is a new divi- dend declared for Canada. And all the time they work and play beneath the shadow of God's most spectacular handi- work. No person can live in that land and not feel the impact of a guiding hand, more lasting and more powerful than mortal's. A new concept of christian life comes to him who climbs the side of Mt. Eisenhower, or walks amid the wastes of Yoho, or pats the nose of old loe-our mountain sheep. Capt.

The Oracle aives the complete picture of the activities of the school in the past year and constitutes a permanent record. Yet the maqazine would have been imv possible were it not tor the activities it por- trays, and these activities could not have been carried on without people interested in them, either as participants or supervisors, and to all so enaaaed your Board is also arateful. Althouah a school may turn out Heducatedn students with only a properly balanced curriculum the addition of properly balanced supplementary activities turns out well adjusted students. As you know the citizens of Woodstfocl: entrust the rnanaqement oi their schools tc persons who comprise the Board of Educa- tion. This Board engages the teachina statt and lays down certain quidinq principles reqardinq instruction and education, and the teachinq staff is the only body which deals directly with the students. The co-operation of all three bodies is essential if the school is to function at its best and you as students must decide whether you will follow the suqqestions and opportunities available to you wholeheartedly, haphazardly, or not at all. Those of you who enter iully into the life of the school get infinitely more out of it than those on the other hand, who aet the least, or qet nothing. At the same time a THE ORACLE person who tries to do everything will fail in everything. A wise selection must be made by each person for himself. The world is made up of all types and personalities. There are certain rules for us all to follow, certain standards of conduct, speech and action. People who follow these rules lead normal, useful lives, people who do not are on the fringe of society and in some cases have to be punished. The same is true of the school. Some students will succeed in toolina some of the people some of the time but unhappily may some day come to realize that they have really fooled only themselves.
