THE  MARK  OF  A 
GENTLEMAN 

When  a  man  writes,  he  wants  man- 
nish paper.  !t  must  do  more  than 
bear  his  message,  it  must  create  the 
desired  impression. 

If  you  would  have  your  letters  bear 
the  Mark  of  a  Gentleman — then 
use  CAMEO  VELLUM  in  the 
Club    size.  Its    smooth    surface 

makes  writing  a  pleasure.

EDITORIAL 


IN  order  to  direct  the  course  of  our  lives  to-day  it  is  necessary  to  con- 
'  sider  even  our  trivial  affairs  with  respect  to  world  events.  For  this 
reason  not  even  the  editorial  of  a  School  magazine  would  be  adequately 
expressed  unless  the  life  of  the  School  was  portrayed  in  relation  to  the 
war.  Although  we  should  not  let  unexpected  victories  or  defeats  cause 
us  to  be  slack  at  our  present  job,  yet  we  must  not  forget  that  our  Empire  is 
fighting  a  life  and  death  struggle  with  a  powerful  enemy.  It  is  up  to  each 
one  of  us  to  do  his  utmost  to  insure  final  victory  for  the  democracies.  For 
us  who  are  still  at  School  that  utmost  is  to  work  hard  at  cur  studies,  to 
play  hard  at  our  games,  and  to  sacrifice  some  of  our  pleasures  in  order  to 
contribute  materially  to  the  war  effort.  During  the  last  nine  months  the 
boys  of  St.  Andrew's  have  kept  these  points  in  mind  and  the  result  has 
been  a  thoroughly  successful  year.  The  academic  standing  is  still  remark- 
ably high  and  although  some  of  our  teams  have  not  been  as  successful  as 
last  year's,  yet  the  same  spirit  has  pervaded  the  School.  The  most  direct 
way  in  which  we  helped  the  war  effort  was  by  a  War  Savings  Campaign 
carried  on  in  the  School  under  the  direction  of  Mr.  Wright  and  Mr.  Ives. 
Exactly  two  thousand  dollars  was  invested  in  War  Savings  Stamps  this 
year  at  St.  Andrew's.  One  thousancl  dollars  of  this  was  invested  since 
February,  1941.  It  is  hoped  that  this  saving  will  coiitiiuie  thnnigh  the 
summer  holidays  for  at  no  time  has  Canada  needed  the  money  more  urgently 
than  now. 

In  addition  to  these  investments  the  School  has  given  $125  to  the  Cana- 
dian Red  Cross,  $125  to  the  Canadian  War  Services  Funcl.   .\nd  a  total  sum 

13 


14  St.  Andrew's.  College  Review 

of  $200  to  the  St.  Andrew's  College  War  Fund.  This  last  mentioned  Fund 
has  been  augmented  also  by  the  Ladies'  Guild  and  The  Old  Boys'  Associa- 
tion, and  provides  cigarettes  and  other  comforts  for  Andreans  on  Active 
Service  Overseas.  Forty  dollars  has  also  been  contributed  since  Christmas 
toward  the  Bolton  Camp  Fund  of  the  Neighbourhood  Workers  Association. 

This  sum  includes  twenty-five  dollars  from  Chapel  Collections. 

*         *         * 

It  is  with  sincere  rejjret  that  we  have  learned  of  the  departure  of  several 
members  of  the  stafif  Ims  year.  After  ten  years  as  master-in-charge  of 
Physical  Education,  Mr.  M.  G.  Griffiths  is  leaving  us  to  take  over  a  posi- 
tion of  even  greater  responsibility.  During  his  years  at  St.  Andrew's  Mr. 
Griffiths  has  developed  our  whole  department  of  Physical  Education  to  a 
very  high  degree,  and  largely  on  account  of  this,  the  sports  and  games  have 
always  been  enjoyed  by  the  boys.  His  great  organizing  ability  could  hardly 
help  but  make  him  a  success  at  any  job  which  he  undertakes.  If  he  does  as 
much  good  work  in  his  new  position  as  he  has  done  at  St.  Andrew's  he  will 
be  rendering  a  very  great  service  to  the  advancement  of  Physical  Education 
in  Canada.  Mr.  Griffiths  will  be  missed  not  only  as  a  valuable  master 
but  also  as  a  real  friend  of  the  boys.  And  so  it  is  with  sorrow  that  we  say 
"farewell"  to  Mr.  Griffiths  and  his  family,  wishing  them  continued  happi- 
ness in  their  new  surroundings. 

Another  great  loss  to  the  School  will  be  Mr.  J.  B.  MilKvard.  who  has 
been  given  leave  of  absence  to  join  the  Royal  Canadian  Air  Force.  Due  to 
his  varied  interests,  Mr.  Millward  has  proved  himself  to  be  a  very  useful 
and  valuable  master.  During  his  six  years  at  St.  Andrew's  as  head  of  the 
Department  of  English  he  has  always  had  extremely  good  results.  Two 
years  ago  Mr.  Millward  was  asked  to  take  charge  of  Macdonald  House,  and 
with  characteristic  enthusiasm,  he  willingly  took  over  this  new  respon- 
sibility and  has  made  a  real  success  of  it.  Both  he  and  Mrs.  Millward  will 
be  greatly  missed  in  the  Lower  School.  Mr.  Millward  has  also  made  a 
wonderful  contribution  on  the  athletic  side  of  the  School  life,  having  been 
in  charge  of  both  the  Basketball  and  the  Track  and  Field  Teams.  For  the 
last  two  years  he  has  produced  Championship  Basketball  Teams,  and  this 
spring  the  members  of  his  Track  and  Field  squad  not  only  broke  eleven 
school  records  on  Sports  Day  but  also  won  the  District  Championship  at 
Lake  Couchiching,  breaking  further  records  in  doing  so.  We  wish  Mr. 
Millward  every  success  in  the  Air  Force  but  we  hope  that  his  absence  from 
St.  Andrew's  will  be  of  very  short  duration. 

We  are  very  unfortunate  this  year  in  losing  Miss  Robertson,  the  Matron 
of  Flavelle  and  Memorial  Houses.  For  six  years  she  has  worked  hard 
serving  the  boys  good  meals  and  running  the  household  work  of  the  two 
Houses.    Everyone  likes  Miss  Robbie  and  the  School  will  not  seem  quite

the  saiiK'  withdut   her.     We  sincerely  h(.i)e  that  she  will   enjoy  her  new- 
work  and  will  hnd  time  to  pay  us  frequent  visits  in  the  future. 

*  ♦         ♦ 

For  the  last  five  weeks  of  the  spring  term  the  whcde  School  was 
genuinely  pleased  to  have  Mr.  Macrea  with  us  again.  Mr.  Macrca  spent 
this  year  at  Queen's  University,  proceeding  to  the  Bachelor  of  Arts  degree. 
Besides  taking  over  his  former  duties  in  the  I^)wer  School,  Mr.  Macrea 
recently  became  master-in-charge  of  the  First  Cricket  Team. 

*  *         * 

The  position  left  open  by  Mr.  Griffiths  is  being  filled  by  Mr.  C.  H. 
Sweeney,  who  has  already  shown  his  cai^ability  in  organizing  teams.  On 
behalf  of  the  School,  the  Review  would  like  to  congratulate  Mr.  Sweeney 
on  his  promotion,  and  express  the  belief  that  the  position  will  be  ably  filled. 

*  *         ♦ 

There  is  a  faint  rumour  that  Mr.  Wright's  bans  have  been  published 
recently.  The  bride-elect  is  Miss  Constance  Pringle.  On  their  return 
this  autumn,  Mr.  Wright  will  assume  the  duties  of  Master  in  Charge  of 
Macdonald  House,  during  the  absence  of  Mr.   Milhvard.     We  wish   Mr. 

and  Mrs.  Wright  much  happiness  in  their  new  adventure. 

*  *         * 

On  behalf  of  the  School,  the  Review  would  like  to  take  this  opportunity 
of  congratulating  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Ouchterlony  on  the  birth  of  a  son.  whom 
they  have  named  David  Powell. 

Further  congratulations   are  due   to   Mr.    Ouchterlony   on   his   recent 

election  as  President  of  the  Casavant  Society  of  distinguished  organists. 

*  *         * 

From  the  new  body  of  House  Prefects,  which  Mr.  Kr.'fjium  instituted 
last  autumn,  three  more  School  Prefects  were  chosen  during  ihc  iirst  week 
of  the  Spring  Term.  These  boys  were  J.  E.  Kilmer,  \^^  A.  Cobban,  and 
R.  L.  Graham  K.  M.  Johnston  was  appointed  a  House  Prefect  at  the  same 
time.  *         *         * 

Toward  the  close  of  the  Summer  Term  sixteen  of  our  senior  boys  left 
the  School  in  order  to  aid  in  the  production  of  essential  war  materials. 
This  was  done  in  persuance  of  the  special  provisions  made  by  the  Depart- 
ment of  Education.  *         *         * 

It  seems  that  in  every  issue  of  the  Review  we  thank  the  Ladies'  Guild 
for  some  further  generosity  to  us.  This  time  we  would  like  to  express  our 
profound  appreciation  for  the  gift  of  four  handsome  chairs,  which  further 
enhance  the  appearance  of  our  attractive  library.  We  give  our  sjiecial 
thanks  to  those  members  and  friends  of  the  Guild  who  did  the  needle- 
point work  on  the  backs  and  seats  of  the  chairs.

St.  Andrew's  College  Review 


If  there  is  anything  which  could  rival  in  importance  the  contribution 
which  the  Guild  has  made  to  the  Library,  it  is  perhaps  the  providing  of 
Scholarships,  and  here  again  the  Ladies  have  come  forward  with  a  generous 
gift  of  $200  to  be  used  as  a  scholarship  "for  any  deserving  boy  in  attendance 
at  the  School  who,  without  such  assistance,  would  not  be  able  to  complete 
his  course."  As  in  former  years  the  Ladies'  Guild  again  came  to  our 
assistance  with  a  cheque  of  fifty  dollars  in  the  financing  of  our  Cadet  Corps 
Dance. 

For  all  these  benefits  and  for  the  many  other  ways  in  which  they  show 
their  continued  interest  in  St.  Andrew's  College,  we  should  like  to  thank 
the  Guild  most  sincerely.

If  our  civilization  is  to  survive  this  virulent  "cancer",  we  must  have  the 
instruments  for  its  destruction  ;  we  must  compete  with,  and  outstrip,  its 
machine-like  efficiency.  Since  we  do  not  use  the  peoples  of  servile  states

The  Effects  of  tfie  War  on  the    Musical 

World 

THE  war  in  Europe  has  affected  practically  all  realms  of  art,  but  it  has 
not  alTected  any  more  seriously  than  music.  Under  the  Nazi  flag 
none  of  the  great  music  centres  can  flourish;  the  gay  notes  are  not  heard 
any  more  from  the  famous  Paris  Opera;  Budapest,  the  great  procreator 
of  so  many  fine  musicians  lies  in  subjection  at  the  feet  of  her  barbaric 
masters;  and  Vienna  has  changed  her  soft  and  beloved  tones  of  Strauss 
Waltzes,  for  the  hard  notes  of  Nazi  martial  music. 

In  England,  and  in  Germany  herself,  music  has  suffered  as  a  result  of 
the  war,  for  the  bombing  of  the  churches,  and  of  Westminster,  has  robbed 
the  world  of  her  greatest  source  of  religious  music,  and  the  disbanding  of 
the  Berlin  and  London  symphonies  has  deprived  us  of  two  of  our  most 
outstanding  musical  organizations. 

In  several  other  aspects,  however,  classical  music  has  profited  by  the 
war.  From  the  war-torn  capitals  of  Europe  hundreds  of  fine  instrumental- 
ists and  composers  have  fled  to  the  friendly  shores  of  America,  and  because 
of  this  the  people  of  the  United  States  and  Canada  have  become  more  music 
conscious  than  ever  before.  \\'ith  the  addition  of  such  men  institutions 
like  the  Philadelphia,  and  Philharmonic  symphony  orchestras,  and  the 
Metropolitan  Opera  have  flourished,  and  have  surpassed  European 
organizations  of  their  type. 

Although  we  in  America  are  happy  to  see  so  many  European  geniuses 
filter  into  our  continent,  we  hope  sincerely  that  Nazi  domination  of  the  art 
of  music  in  Europe  will  soon  be  broken  and  that  we  may  again  hear  the 
Paris  Opera,  and  the  sweet  notes  of  a  Danube  river  boat's  orchestra  play- 
ing The  Beautiful  Blue  Danube.

Collecting    Butterflies 


IT  is  often  said  that  the  things  which  we  notice  least  contribute  most  to 
*  the  beauties  of  nature.  I  think  this  is  particularly  true  in  the  case  of  our 
common  butterfly. 

The  collecting  and  preserving  of  these  creatures  of  nature  is  most  inter- 
esting and  engrossing.  Have  you  ever  given  any  thought  to  doing  this  as  a 
hobby?    Well  this  is  the  way  you  go  about  it. 

There  are  three  distinct  steps  in  the  collecting  and  preserving  of  any 
insect :  capturing,  killing  and  mounting. 

The  method  of  capturing  these  winged  beauties  is  comparatively  simple. 
The  only  necessities  are  a  net  of  fine  mesh  about  thirty-two  inches  in  length 
with  a  handle  about  five  feet  long,  and  a  quick  arm.  Armed  with  this,  set 
out  in  the  direction  of  a  flower  garden  or  green  fields.  It  is  here  that  the 
most  common  types  are  found.  The  butterfly  is  simply  scooped  up  and  the 
net  turned  over  so  that  the  insect  is  captured  in  the  folds  of  the  net. 

The  killing  agent  generally  used  is  cyanide.  A  few  small  pieces  are 
placed  in  the  bottom  of  an  airtight  jar.     The  butterfly  is  removed  from  the 


Sl  Andrew's  College  Review  21 

net,  holding  it  by  the  undersides  of  the  wings,  it  is  dropped  into  the  jar. 
It  is  only  a  matter  of  a  few  seconds  before  the  creature  is  dead. 

Now  comes  the  most  delicate  and  the  most  important  step ;  mounting 
the  insect.  Upon  this  depends  the  success  of  a  butterfly  collector.  An 
incorrectly  mounted  specimen  is  valueless  and  not  much  to  look  at.  For 
this  purpose  a  soft  wood  board  about  five  inches  with  a  groove  down  the 
centre  is  required.  In  addition  you  must  have  at  hand  several  extremely 
fine  pins  and  strips  of  paper  about  half  an  inch  wide.  A  pin  about  two 
inches  long  is  thrust  through  the  butterfly's  body  and,  placing  its  body  in 
the  groove,  the  pin  is  pushed  into  the  soft  wood.  Now,  using  a  fine  pin 
draw  its  front  wings  forward  till  the  back  of  them  is  at  right  angles  to  the 
body.  Strips  of  paper  are  now  placed  over  the  wings  on  either  side  and  are 
secured  by  several  pins.  The  antennae  is  now  drawn  forward  till  they 
form  a  "V  with  the  head.  Leave  the  insect  in  this  position  for  several 
days  till  it  becomes  absolutely  rigid.  Then  remove  all  the  pins  and  strips 
of  paper  with  the  exception  of  the  ])in  through  the  centre  of  the  body. 
Removing  it  from  the  board  you  have  a  properly  stretched  butterfly  which 
you  may  place  in  your  case.

The    Bahamas 


IN  1492  just  eighteen  years  after  he  had  left  Genoa,  a  man  destined  to 
change  the  map  of  the  world  was  appointed  admiral  of  the  then  known 
seas.  This  man  was  Christopher  Columbus.  On  the  memorable  Friday 
in  August,  1492,  he  set  sail,  as  he  thought,  for  the  Indies  in  the  largest  of 
the  three  ships  that  accompanied  him,  the  Santa  Maria. 

The  first  landfall  was  made  thirty-five  days  after  leaving  the  bay  of 
Palmas  in  the  Canary  Islands ;  and  thus  it  was,  that  on  October  12th,  1492, 
the  discoverer  who  has  carved  his  name  in  the  annals  of  history  was  the 
first  white  man  to  set  foot  on  any  of  the  innumerable  islands  of  the 
Bahamas ;  to  it  he  gave  the  name  of  San  Salvador,  which  is  now  known  as 
Watling's   Island. 

Following  in  the  wake  of  Columbus  came  an  assorted  variety  of  adven- 
turers and  treasure  seekers.  The  first  of  these  were  the  scum  of  the  Spanish 
sea-ports,  only  interested  in  the  transportation  of  the  harmless  Lucayan 
dwellers  that  inhabited  the  islands  at  that  time  to  the  "hell  of  the  gold- 
mines" of  Cuba  and  Espanola,  or  Haiti  as  it  is  now  called.  By  the  kind 
permission  of  King  Ferdinand  of  Spain,  this  trade  was  legalized  in  1509 
and  the  indolent  brown-skinned  natives  who  would  rather  die  than  work, 
were  nearly  completely  exterminated  after  fifty  years  of  Spanish  occupation. 

Meanwhile,  in  1512,  Ponce  de  Leon,  after  his  famous  search  for  the 
Fountain  of  Youth  in  the  Bahamas,  turned  his  energies  to  the  discovery 
of  the  Southern  tip  of  the  North  American  continent — Florida.  Shortly 
following  Ponce  de  Leon,  came  England's  Sir  Humphrey  Gilbert,  who  set 
sail  in  1579  amply  armed  with  the  royal  right  to  "discover,  finde,  search  out 
and  view".  Unfortunately  or  otherwise,  for  the  "Isles  of  June,"  our 
ambitious  Elizabethan  adventurer  never  reached  the  Bahamas,  for.  having 
touched  at  Newfoundland,  he  died  at  sea. 

During  the  era  of  Charles  I,  a  Bermudian  Governor.  Captain  William 
Sayle,  was  blown  out  of  his  course,  and  forced  to  seek  refuge  in  a  Bahamian 
creek,  thus  preserving  his  life.  But  Captain.  Sayle  was  not  yet  free  from 
danger,  for  on  leaving  his  refuge  he  was  again  blown  back  to  the  Bahamas. 
Thanking  Providence  for  his  lucky  escape,  he  sung  praises  so  loudly,  that 
the  name  "New  Providence"  came  into  being.  Having  "thus  far  so  nobly 
advanced",  the  fame  of  the  Bahamas  had  now  begun  to  spread  to  such  an 
extent,  that  in  1649  the  first  "Elutheran  adventurers"  succeeded  in  obtain- 
ing through  Parliament  the  right  to  settle  and  colonize  any  islands  in  the 
West  Indies  between  the  degrees  of  24  and  29  north  latitudes.  These 
adventurers,  however,  turned  out  to  be  little  more  than  criminals,  and  such 
blood-thirsty  tales  went  back  to  England,  that  in   1680  during  the  reign 


Si.  .-liidn'w's  College  Revieic  23 

of  diaries  ][  a  grant  of  the  Hahamas,  >u\\  in  theory  Spanish,  was  made 
to  several  CaroHan^  of  good  repute.  The  l)eneficiaries  moreover,  were 
given  the  right  to  make  laws  to  the  satisfaction  of  the  free  inhabitants. 
Without  waiting  for  permission,  the  Imperialists  appointed  a  governor  who 
arrived  in  1670  with  high  hopes.  He  was  soon  disillusioned,  however,  for 
no  sooner  had  be  landed  than  he  was  forcibly  re-embarked  for  Jamaica.  In 
1684,  a  demand  was  made  that  the  Bahamas  be  cleared  of  the  piracy  for 
which  it  was  now  famous,  for,  as  the  majority  of  European  trade  flowed 
Westward,  there  was  never  a  shortage  of  Victims.  In  addition  also,  were 
the  repeated  attacks  of  the  Spaniards  who  sacked  New  Prtnidence  as  a 
matter  of  course. 

The  epoch  of  pirating  was  indeed  well  under  way.  Hlackbeard  was  the 
foremost  of  these  men  whose  very  names  struck  terror  into  the  most  hardy 
of  the  Island  pioneers.  He  is  supposed  to  have  hidden  his  ill-gotten  gains 
on  New  Providence,  but  as  yet  no  one  has  been  able  to  trace  them.  Stand- 
ing to-day  as  a  grim  reminder,  is  his  look-out  tower  at  the  eastern  end  of 
the  Island,  which  affords  an  e.xcellent  view  to  all  who  venture  into  its 
crumbling  structure. 

Among  the  Governors  whose  terms  were  short-lixed  in  the  P>ahamas,  is 
Cadwallader  Jones,  who  quarrelled  so  seriously  with  his  subjects,  that  they 
threw  him  into  jail.  From  here  he  was  released  by  Captain  Avery  who,  for 
his  own  advantage,  contrived  to  implant  in  the  citizens  respect  for  his 
Majesty's  representatives.  This  particular  escapade  paid  .^,.very  "twenty 
pieces  of  eight  and  two  pieces  of  gold". 

In  addition  to  Blackbeard,  there  were  a  number  of  other  pirates,  of 
whom  Captain  Evans  was  one ;  Sir  Henry  Morgan,  first  oh  the  infamous 
"Brethern  of  the  coast",  another.  Succeeding  Vane,  was  Rackham.  whose 
name  connects  him  with  the  two  women  pirates  of  the  day,  Mar)-  Read,  and 
Anne  Bonny.  The  former  of  whom  was  in  the  Bahamas  when  Captain 
Woodes  Rogers  offered  the  King's  pardon.  She  accepted,  and  sailed  again 
as  a  privateer.  The  existing  difference  between  a  pirate  and  a  privateer, 
was  one  of  minute  importance.  If  caught  a  pirate  was  hanged,  a  privateer 
imprisoned. 

After  his  release,  Mr.  Jones,  realizing  the  res])onsibility  of  his  task 
resigned.  His  successor,  a  ^Ir.  Trot,  was  not  what  could  be  termed  as 
"highly  successful".  During  his  stay,  "wrecking"  flourished  and.  indeed, 
so  did  Nassau.  Phips,  the  next  in  line  to  be  appointed  Governor,  appre- 
ciating the  folly  of  such  an  action  declined  the  offer,  and  submitted  the 
position  to  Mr.  Webb.  Mr.  Webb,  an  enterprising  gentleman,  sold  his 
ofifice  to  a  mulatto.  A  Governor.  Mr.  Hascott,  was  then  sent  out  to 
reorganize  the  chaos  that  existed.  In  the  end.  both  the  luulatto  and  Hascott 
were  imprisoned,  and  Mr.  Lightwood  elected.     This  man's  stupiclity  was 


24  St.  Andrew' s  College  Review 

incredible,  for  in  spite  of  the  continuous  harassing  by  the  Spaniards,  he 
allowed  the  island  garrison  to  wane  to  such  an  extent,  that  they  were 
helpless.  When  again  the  Spaniards  came,  after  three  months,  they  took 
away  every  human  on  the  island  that  they  could  catch.  When  the  next 
Governor,  Mr.  Birch,  landed,  it  was  upon  an  absolutely  deserted  island. 
Birch  was  the  last  of  thd  thirteen  unsuccessful  Governors  that  the  Crown 
had  appointed.    They  then  sent  Rogers. 

Woodes  Rogers,  a  reformed  pirate,  was  made  Governor  of  New 
Providence  by  George  I  in  an  efifort  of  "setting  a  thief  to  catch  a  thief". 
This  experiment  to  a  degree  was  highly  successful.  Rogers  during  his 
lifetime  had  been  a  very  remarkable  man.  We  are  told,  that  on  taking  up 
his  post  as  Governor,  he  granted  1.000  pardons,  and  subsequently  hanged 
nine  men.  This  man  was  exceptional  because  he  survived  two  terms  of 
office,  and  because  in  the  eleven  years  of  his  Governorship,  he  not  only 
created  a  House  of  Assembly,  but  forced  the  "Brethern  of  the  coast"  to 
resort  to  husbandry.  His  coat  of  arms  is  that  which  was  adopted  as  the 
Seal  of  the  Colony. 

In  1782  Nassau  was  captured  for  the  last  time  by  the  Spaniards.  But 
by  the  Treaty  of  Versailles,  the  Bahamas  were  ceded  to  Britain  in  1729. 
At  the  termination  of  the  American  \\'ar  of  Independence  there  was  a  great 
influx  of  United  Empire  Loyalists  into  the  British  islands  of  the  Bahamas. 
They  migrated  in  thousands,  bringing  all  their  worldly  possession  that  they 
were  able  to  carry  with  them.  In  this  way  the  Bahamas  became  very  rich 
indeed.  These  Loyalists  opposed  the  Governor  of  that  time,  Sir  James 
Smythe,  in  many  ways.  The  foremost  of  these,  was  the  unlawful  slaving, 
that  produced  labour  for  the  plantation  owners,  and  at  the  same  time  was 
exceedingly  profitable  for  those  engaged  in  the  trade.  Wreckers  again  came 
into  being,  but  found  it  more  valuable  to  report  slavers,  than  to  partake  of 
their  own  profession. 

The  next  Governor  to  try  his  luck  was  one  Mr.  Balfour.  He  fought 
for  the  slave  rights,  but  again  was  not  very  successful.  \Vlien  Abolition 
of  the  slave  trade  came  about  in  England  in  1834,  it  was  not  recognized 
in  the  Bahamas  until  four  years  later.  Finally,  resigned  to  their  fate,  the 
planters  now  deprived  of  their  free  labour,  left  the  Islands,  giving  their 
houses  and  property  to  slaves.  The  slaves  who  believed  that  they  could 
live  wuhout  working  soon  allowed  plantations  to  fall  into  disuse,  and  agri- 
culture produce  fell  to  practically  "nil".  The  inhabitants  then  took  to  the 
sea  for  a  living. 

W^e  now  come  to  the  era  of  the  American  Civil  War.  The  Confederate 
blockade-runners  of  the  Southern  States  brought  a  new  prosperity  to  the 
Bahamas.  "The  imports  which  in  1860  did  not  reach  a  quarter  of  a  million 
sterling  had  risen  by  1864  to  within  sight  of  five  and  a  half  millions".    At

the  end  of  this  war.  (hirinj;  which  five  (ioveriiors  had  heen  elected,  the 
Islanders  fell  into  their  usual  indolence. 

In  1921  the  Bahamians  took  to  Bootlej^'j^dn^  contrahand  liquor  to  the 
States  with  a  new  vigour,  thus  carrying  out  their  age  old  ainhition  of  getting 
rich  quickly.  It  was  during  this  as  usual  lawless  ])eriod.  that  great  changes 
were  wrought.  Many  huildings  sprang  up.  the  harhour  accommodatif)n 
was  vastly  improved  upon,  and  other  such  changes  as  are  still  in  evidence. 
When  at  last  the  Prohibition  period  came  to  an  end,  the  Islands  continued 
to  prosper,  tourists  began  to  come  in  small  numbers,  and  merchants  began 
to  take  their  businesses  seriously,  forgetting  that  there  had  ever  been  a  time 
when  even  their  dry-goods  had  heen  used  in  hack-rooms  to  cover  crates  of 
whiskey,  gin.  and  rum. 

The  hurricanes  of  1926  and  1929  having  disposed  of  the  majority  of 
flimsy  shacks  and  huts,  new  huildings  greatly  resembling  American  archi- 
tecture came  into  being.  Ever  since  then  Nassau  and  the  Bahamas  have 
enjoyed  an  increasing  amount  of  tourist  trade,  and  in  general,  prosperity 
of  a  less  blood-thirsty  nature  has  been  their  lot.  To-day,  owing  to  the 
residence  of  the  Duke  and  Duchess  of  Windsor,  an  even  higher  level  of 

success  has  been  theirs.  , ,  r>    c-  t-  ^ '

Across  the  swelling  rises  of  the  ever-blue  Atlantic, 

Serenely  nests  an  island  'midst  a  world  of  peace  and  war ; 
An  island  truly  beautiful,  as  fits  a  mind  romantic ; 

A  land  of  rippling  breezes  o'er  a  misty  moonlit  shi'jre. 
A  trickling  stream  is  often  seen 
"Neath  i)alms  of  green  and  brown  ; 
A  sky  of  blue,  o'er  sparkling  dew. 
O'erlooks  a  sleepy  town. 
A  little  horse  and  buggy  takes  you  'round  the  country-side 

To  see  the  sights  of  Nassau  and  the  quaintest  little  streets ; 
The  harbour  with  its  fishing  boats  a-sailing  with  the  tide; 

The  market  and  its  fish-stalls  with  the  boxes  meant  for  seats. 
A  morn  departs,  an  evening  starts 
With  a  tri])  to  a  sheltered  bay ; 
A  sudden  whim  for  a  cooling  swim ; 
There's  nothing  more  to  say. 
A  beautiful  crimson  sun  is  drawn  towards  the  silent  sea ; 

Vivid  streaks  of  scarlet  mixed  with  purple  wend  their  way 
Across  a  varied  sky  and  overlook  a  tiny  cay. 

And  so  begins  a  perfect  night  and  ends  a  perfect  day.

The    Escape   of    the    Galley    Slaves 

The  winds  were  blowing  and  the  waves  were  high 
All  over  this  cruel  sea, 
But  the  longboat  pushed  ever  onward,  on 
With  its  crew  who  were  finally  free. 

They  had  planned  this  escape  for  days  and  nights 
And,  when  it  was  time  to  strike, 

They  slipped  ofif  their  chains,  which  were  carefully  filed, 
x^nd  escaped  in  the  dead  of  night. 

Slave  after  slave  crept  out  of  the  hold 

Till  all  were  crouching  on  deck. 

Then  they  noiselessly  pounced  on  the  sentry's  back. 

Whom  they  drowned  with  a  weight  'round  his  neck. 

Slave  after  slave  climbed  down  to  the  boat 
Which  was  lowered  but  a  moment  before 
At  the  side  to  the  lee  on  the  storm  covered  sea 
Each  man  took  his  place  at  an  oar. 

The  hard  part  was  past ;  they  were  all  free  at  last 
From  the  whip,  and  the  drum,  and  the  chains. 
Each  pulled  on  his  oar  as  never  before 
In  hope  of  fulfilling  his  aims.

A  Most  Lamentable  State  of  Affairs 

FEW  pcopk'  liave  gone  jogging  down  the  Mall,  harking  to  the  chatter 
of  the  cheery  Cockney  cahhy.  or  have  seen  the  i)anting  steeds  rei)laced 
by  fresh  in  the  days  of  the  Blankshire  express,  that  have  not  thrilled  at  the 
usefulness  of  the  horse  :  the  pretty,  skittish  horse,  the  ])anting.  snorting 
horse,  or  the  trusty  jilodding  mare.  Some  peoi)le  find  the  motion  (jf  a 
horse  uncomfortable,  and  others  have  mal  de  nier  in  a  railway  carriage, 
but  here  is  the  perfect  compromise.  The  gentle  regular  moti(jn  of  a  four- 
wheeler  is  inducive  to  the  deepest  meditation,  yet  one  remains  sensible  of 
one's  surroundings.  The  horse-drawn  carriage  is  our  English  heritage. 
In  early  days  some  Britons  were  bearing  a  Roman  emperor  to  York  in  a 
litter.  Being  weary  of  their  task,  they  placed  their  burden  on  a  horse- 
drawn  cart,  and  His  Obeisity  was  borne  to  York,  where  he  established  a 
precedent  and  it  became  the  fashion  for  emperors  to  die  at  York.  Thus 
the  horse  has  found  its  way  to  English  hearts.  But  there  is  a  diabolic 
invention  which  threatens  this  favour'd  beast. 

It  moves,  it  travels,  but  there  is  no  horse!  It  snorts,  it  grunts,  but 
still  there  is  no  horse!  AX'here  the  horse  used  to  be  has  been  built  a 
Trojan  horse,  an  automaton,  ruled  by  levers  and  wheels,  fed  lamp  oil.  and 
dangerous.  And  truly  it  is  Trojan — once  this  evil  has  woli  the  hearts  of 
the  mob,  gone  will  be  our  horses,  our  cabbies  and  even  our  prejudice ! 

Alas !  my  pen  is  vicious  and.  like  a  horse,  runneth  av/ay.  I  was  walk- 
ing along  one  of  London's  more  fashionable  streets,  when  i  was  approached 
by  one  of  these  contraptions.  The  driver  was  a  bearded  well-groomed 
young  man,  with  a  pretty  young  wife  beside  him.  He  sat  high  in  a  leather- 
covered  seat,  where  he  kept  up  a  perpetual  grasping  of  levers  and  turning 
of  wheels.  His  "horse"  was  low,  thick  and  mongrel,  seemingly  contrived 
of  saucepans  and  cast  iron ;  it  was  in  a  state  of  constant  motion,  spluttering 
and  heaving  like  a  steam  engine.  But  no  beautiful  black  and  tempting  coal 
was  fed  this  creature,  only  oil,  coarse  oil.  such  as  is  served  with  garlic  and 
quinine  in  Soho  (ju.st-a  leetle  more  spahget.  Meester  Crackpot?).  I  have 
never  made  an  intimate  study  of  the  steam-engine,  because  of  its  plebeian 
origin.  But  on  no  steam  engine  is  to  be  found  the  assortment  of  impossible 
devices  which  the  "horse"'  displays. 

As  the  vehicle  approached,  the  snortings  and  rumblings  increased.  Lest 
I  should  incur  its  wrath  I  walked  close  to  the  wall,  on  tiptoe.  Suddenly  it 
came  to  a  halt  with  a  shriek  and  a  grumble.  The  driver  jumped  down, 
muttered  "Carburettor"  in  a  mystic  undertone  to  his  wife,  and  proceeded 
to  tear  the  "horse"  to  pieces.     Such  a  performance  of  barl)ari>m  I  have

never  seen.     With  strange  blunt  weapons  he  tore  small  round  pieces  from 

the  "horse's"'  vitals,  which  he  replaced  with  tender  care ;  at  once  he  removed 

something  from   another   part   of  the   machine.      Terrified   lest   the   thing 

called  "Carburettor"  should  become  unruly,  I  stole  away.     My  last  glimpse 

of  the  scene  was  horrifying  :  the  man  was  in  front  of  the  "horse",  turning  a 

handle  rapidly,  and  the  entire  vehicle  was  heaving  and  purring  like  a  tiger 

at  bay. 

Todav  I  asked  a  question  in  the  Commons  about  this  new  vehicle.     I 

considered  it  of  such  national  importance  that  I  attracted  the  attention  of 

the  Home  Secretary  to  it.    He  explained  that  the  matter  was  being  carefully 

looked  into.     In  the  meantime,  he  said,  the  general  public  would  be  assured 

of  the  safety  of  the  device,  and  he  had  been  assured  by  an  eminent  mechanic 

that  the  contraption  was  contrived  according  to  well-defined  laws  of  nature. 

To  which  defence  I  replied  with  stoic  fortitude  and  absolute  silence.     I 

shall  make  a  detailed  report  for  the  perusal  of  my  constituents,  who,  since 

I  sent  a  telegram  announcing  the  appearance  of  the  horseless  buggy,  have 

been  in  great  suspense.  .,^         .         ,      ^      ,       .s

Penetanguishene 


THE  oldest  town  in  Ontario  is  Penetanguishene,  which  is  located  ninety- 
one  miles  north  of  Toronto  on  Penetanguishene  Bay.  Its  history 
dates  as  far  back  as  1615,"  when  Samuel  de  Champlain  landed  wath  his 
exploring  party  on  the  shores  of  the  beautiful  land  locked  harbour,  and  pro- 
nounced it  suitable  for  a  colony.  Here  was  the  birthplace  of  modern 
civilization  in  Ontario.  Here  also  was  located  a  French  trading  post,  and 
in  the  neighbourhood  was  the  first  mission  established  by  the  Recollet 
Fathers,  who  were  in  Huronia  before  the  Jesuits.  In  the  Indian  village  of 
Caragouha.  a  few  miles  north-west  from  Penetanguishene,  was  celebrated 
the  first  Catholic  mass  held  in  Ontario.  Etienne  Brule,  the  famous 
explorer,  was  buried  on  the  shore  of  Penetanguishene  Bay,  after  being 
killed  by  the  Indians.  With  the  retreat  of  the  Jesuits  to  Quebec  after  the 
Iroquois  massacre.  Penetanguishene  was  abandoned  until  the  beginning  of 
the  nineteenth  century,  when  the  British  military  authorities  established 
a  strong  fort  at  the  mouth  of  the  harbour.  The  harbour  saw  some  of  the 
most  stirring  battles  in  the  war  of  1812.  Only  a  few  years  ago  the  remains 
of  an  American  battleship,  the  Tigress,  were  recovered  from  the  ba}-,  and 
may  be  seen  at  Huronia  Park.  This  fort  was  maintained  at  Penetangui- 
shene almost  until  Confederation.  Alany  of  the  log  homes  of  the  military 
pensioners  are  to  be  seen  leading  to  the  old  fort  site,  where  the  military 
officers  quarters  still  stand.  The  famous  and  picturesque  old  church,  built 
to  give  the  nation's  defenders  the  privileges  of  religion,  recently  celebrated 
its  100th  anniversary.

Requiescdt 

Beneath  the  dying  hres  of  the  dull  red  sun  ; 

Under  the  blue-black  sky,  the  thin  cold  wind 

Blows  dismally  o'er  the  shifting  sands  that  cover 

All  that  ever  was  upon  this  Earth. 

This  Earth  that  once  was  green  and  teemed  with  life ; 

\\'armed  by  a  bright  and  friendly  sun  that  shone 

On  wide  seas,  high  mountains,  and  rich  luxuriant  lands. 

This  Earth  that  saw  the  slow  ascent  of  man, 

His  struggles,  strifes ;  his  works,  his  hopes,  his  dreams : 

Now  all  is  gone,  as  if  it  had  never  been — 

Buried  by  the  shifting  sands.  .  .  .  Fred  Hurter,  Jr.

Pine  and  Moon 

On  the  heath,  in  charred  hlack  gorse-beds, 
Shmy,  hideous,  mocking  waste, 
In  the  thunder,  towering,  brooding, 
Bat-fiHed.  groaning,  interlaced 
With  the  laughs  of  shrieking  lightning 
Dancing  madly  through  the  night. 
Stands  a  pine,  harsh,  all-resisting. 
Proud  in  gauntness,  calm  in  might. 

And  the  clouds,  in  clotted  turmoil 

Flying  through  the  bloody  sky. 

Ridge  on  ridge,  in  writhing  blackness, 

Cannot  hide  the  moon  on  high. 

She.  in  all  her  soothing  brightness. 

Calmly  looks  through  strife  with  love, 

While  the  pine-tree,  lean,  majestic 

Fiercely  lifts  itself  above.  j.  Jarvis.  Upper  VI.

immins 


TIMMINS  is  a  medium  size  town  up  north.  It  started  off  with  only  a 
few  shacks,  but  when  the  HoUinger  mine  was  found,  many  prospectors 
came  to  Hve  here.  When  the  mine  began  to  boom  and  men  were  wanted 
to  work  it,  the  town  soon  grew ;  and  inside  of  two  years  it  had  a  population 
of  three  thousand  people.  That  was  in  the  year  1915.  The  HoUinger  mine 
became  so  prosperous  that  a  whole  town  was  united,  and  by  the  year  1920, 
there  were  at  least  eight  churches  in  the  town,  and  a  population  of  ten 
thousand.  When  the  town  became  that  large,  schools  were  built  all  over 
the  place,  and  the  total  came  to  six  schools.  At  that  time  when  the  town 
was  populated  with  ten  thousand  people,  one  thousand  were  miners,  and 
the  rest  of  the  population  were  mostly  foreigners.  Soon  the  town  became 
larger  and  larger;  shows  were  erected,  and  now  we  have  a  population  of 
thirty  thousand,  three-quarters  Italians,  Finns,  French,  and  other  foreign 
elements,  fourteen  churches,  and  twelve  schools. 

The  HoUinger  mine  grew  larger  and  richer  every  year,  and  up  till  now. 
it  is  the  second  richest  and  largest  mine  in  the  world.  The  mine  was  named 
after  Benny  HoUinger,  who  first  staked  the  mine  way  back  in  1910. 
Timmins,  the  town,  was  named  after  Noah  Timmins,  the  man  who  really 
put  the  HoUinger  mine  on  its  way  to  success.  The  HoUinger  mine  not  only 
made  many  people  rich,  but  also  made  a  town  out  of  a  wilderness,  and  has 
opened  up  the  real  parts  of  Northern  Ontario.  It  also  made  Timmins  a 
rich  and  prosperous  town  with  lovable  and  peaceful  people,  till  disturbed 
by  outsiders.  The  HoUinger  also  gave  people  ideas  of  looking  for  other 
mines,  and  that  started  the  real  mining  boom  in  Ontario.  After  the 
HoUinger  was  found,  many  others  came  in  sight  such  as  the  Lake  Shore, 
Mclntyre,  Dome,  Paymaster,  and  many  others.  Timmins  is  surrounded 
by  many  other  towns,  and  if  anyone  wants  to  make  a  lot  of  money,  and  lead 
a  quiet  life,  come  up  to  Timmins ;  a  mucker's  paradise.

Self 


There  was  a  man  once. 

And  he  saw  the  boughs  of  the  trees  swaying  in  the  approved,  graceful 

manner. 
And  the  bold  white  paint-strokes  of  the  clouds  across  the  glad,  free  sky. 


Sl  Andrew' s  College  Review  ^3 

But  he  knew,  of  course,  that  the  sky  wasn't  glad  or  free, 

And  as  for  tlie  gracefuhiess  of  the  boughs,  why,  the  drug  st(jre  round  the 
corner  coukl  have  swayed  as  weH. 

These  things  dichi't  do  anything  in  any  particular  manner. 

It  was  just  as  lie  saw  them,  how  they  reappeared  in  himseh'. 

SeU',  self.  self,  that's  what  it  was. 

Those  flowers  that  had  been  laughing  gently  the  other  day, 

Were  now  gibing.  .   .  .  gibing. 

And  that  bird  overheard,  with  its  senseless,  reiterated  cheep-cheep,  cheep- 
cheep, 

Really  was  senseless, 

And  was  not  deliberately  jerking  fish-hooks  through  the  soft,  shrinking 
flesh  of  his  mind. 

All  these  things  were  senseless. 

The  hurrying,  liquid  brook  was  senseless, 

And  the  strained,  grinning  cactus. 

As  emotionless  as  a  dusty  aspidestra ; 

While  he  himself  made  them  all  responsive  inside  himself. 

His  misery  was  the  old,  broken,  sodden  brown  bracken ; 

His  joy  was  the  bright  crumpled-red  bursting  of  the  poppy,  from  its  cool 
green, 

And  he  could  not  escape ;  there  was  no  way  of  escape 

To  their  silly  senselessness. 

He  was  bound  up,  chained, 

To  himself.

The  Mule  Train  Mystery 

IT  was  now  over  thirteen  days  since  we  left  Mexico  City  determined  to 
reach  the  West  coast.  Although  we  had  previously  decided  that  we 
should  spend  no  money  on  this  trip,  we  had  little  difticulty  in  getting  trans- 
portation. At  the  head  of  the  Lerma  River,  our  starting  jjoint.  we  luckily 
met  a  poor  fisherman  who.  travelling  alone,  offered  to  take  us  down  the 
river,  provided  we  paddled  the  canoe.  We  accepted ;  and  travelled  with 
him  for  several  miles.  Later  we  patched  up  an  old  deserted  canoe  which 
carried  us  to  the  foothills  of  the  mighty  Sierras.  Here  we  abandoned  our 
craft  in  order  to  reach  a  small  town  from  whicli  mule  trains  departed 
regularly  for  the  West  Coast.  ,  . 


34  St.  Andrew's  College  Review 

Situated  at  the  mouth  of  a  deep  cailon,  this  pueblo  is  wholly  composed 
of  the  workmen  from  the  nearby  nitrate  mine.  Since  there  is  no  other 
means  of  transporting  this  material  to  the  coast,  mule  trains  are  extensively 
used.  The  town  itself  was  an  old  Indian  pueblo,  built  perhaps  around  a 
mission  church.  The  roofs  of  the  brightly  painted  houses  were  of  red 
tile,  and  the  only  traffic  on  its  stone  streets  was  ox-carts  and  mules.  The 
pueblo  looked  cheerful  enough,  but  the  people,  strangely,  seemed  to  regard 
us  coldly ;  turning  their  heads  away  or  eyeing  us  suspiciously.  What  sur- 
prised us  most,  however,  was  that  no  one  laughed  ;  no  one  smiled ;  all 
seemed  to  regard  one  another  as  enemies,  passing  each  other  without  the 
customary  "Buenos  dias". 

We  arrived  late  in  the  afternoon  and,  finding  no  place  to  stay  or  any 
rooms  to  let,  we  consulted  the  local  barber,  who,  as  is  always  the  case,  knew 
everybody's  business  except  his  own.     He  explained  the  situation  to  us. 

'Tt's  all  because  men  are  killed  and  mules  mysteriously  stolen,  accord- 
ing to  the  peons,  by  some  strange  creature,  striking  between  el  cation  del 
Zorro  and  el  Diablo's  moor,  that  no  mule  hand  is  eager  to  leave  for  the 
mountains ;  some  even  refuse  to  go.  The  whole  population  is  worried," 
he  added. 

"\Miich  seems  natural  enough."  I  answered. 

"Si,  si,''  he  continued,  "especially  if  what  the  peons  say  about  him  is 
true !" 

'T'll  bite,"  I  said,  "what  do  they  say  about  it?" 

"Well,  he's  supposed  to  be  a  creature  of  tremendous  strength,  and 
great  agility;  sometimes  carrying  away  as  much  as  150  pounds  of  nitrate. 
No  man  has  ever  seen  him — and  lived !" 

I  laughed,  "When  do  we  start.  Jose?"  I  asked  my  travelling  companion. 

"As  soon  as  the  next  mules  leave."  he  answered. 

The  barber  looked  at  us  mystified,  "You  don't  intend  to  .  .  ." 

"Si,"  I  interrupted,  "When  does  the  next  mule  train  leave?" 

"At  dawn." 

Since  it  was  impossible  to  get  a  job  on  the  mule  trains  if  you  were  not 
a  peon,  we  traded  our  clothes  and  knapsacks  for  Indian  garb  and  three-foot 
sombreros.  Thus  clothed  we  easily  overcame  this  handicap,  and  early 
morning  saw  us  getting  acquainted  with  the  gentle  art  of  mule  herding. 

For  three  days  the  train  plodded  onward,  through  treacherous  paths, 
high  mountains  and  green  valleys.  We  were  becoming  impatient,  for 
nothing  was  heard  or  seen,  and  the  trip  was  proving  monotonous.  The 
peons,  however,  were  of  a  different  mind,  for  fear  was  clearly  written  on 
their  faces ;  they  talked  in  low  voices,  casting  fearful  glances  at  the  moun- 
tains.   We  were  entering  el  canon  del  Zorro. 

The  whole  caravan  began  to  move  forward  hesitantly,  the  peons  quaking 


*S'/.  Andrew's  College  Review  35 

with  fear.  El  canon  del  Zorro  was  the  danger  jwint.  When  we  had  crossed 
most  of  it,  and  saw  the  open  moor  ahead  of  us,  they  liroke  intf)  a  run,  heat- 
ing the  mules  furiously,  and  spurring  them  onward  with  shouts.  \\q 
reached  the  moor  tired  and  out  of  breatli.  hut  the  facts  were  conclusive — 
nothing  had  happened. 

It  was  getting  late  now,  and  the  last  rays  of  the  setting  sun  cast  gro- 
tesque shadows  over  the  dismal  moor — el  Diablo's  moor.  At  some  distance, 
the  fading  light  brought  to  our  view  an  enormous  mansion,  half  hidden 
in  a  cluster  of  weeping  willows.  It  was  ai)parently  inhabited,  for  a  light 
was  shining  from  an  upper  window. 

Pablo,  the  chief  mule  hand,  called  us  together  for  a  conference,  and  for 
a  long  time  we  debated  whether  to  cam])  in  the  moor,  or  near  the  hf»use. 
Since  we  mule  hands  are  very  superstitious,  we  naturally  preferred  the 
house. 

When  we  arrived,  however,  the  house  took  a  different  as])ect ;  it  seemed 
deserted.  The  central  fountain  witli  its  statute  of  Cupid,  was  dry ;  moss 
and  creeping  vines  covered  the  four  marble  pillars  forming  the  face  of  the 
old  colonial  mansion ;  the  gardens  were  unkempt ;  weeds  and  rushes  covered 
what  had  perhaps  been  the  front  lawn  ;  and  some  parts  of  the  roof  had  fallen 
in.  Yet,  we  had  seen  a  light.  This  frightened  the  peons  again,  and  we 
decided  not  to  camp  here,  but  beside  the  old  stables  which  were  at  some 
distance  from  the  house.  Putting  the  mules  away  securely  in  the  ruined 
stables,  we  hastened  to  build  a  fire,  and  in  an  hour  were  all  ready  for  the 
night. 

The  glowing  crackling  flames  raised  the  spirits  of  the  men,  who,  bring- 
ing out  their  guitars,  sang  until  sleep  overcame  us.  It  was  my  turn  to 
watch  the  fire  for  the  first  part  of  the  night.  Two  hours  passed  unevent- 
fully ;  I  lay  on  the  ground  near  the  fire,  and  at  different  intervals  stood  up 
and  refueled  it.  It  must  have  been  about  one  o'clock  when  I  began  to  doze 
off,  and  finally  went  to  sleep. 

Suddenly  I  was  roughly  awakened  by  Jose ;  the  mules  had  begun  to 
neigh.  Something  was  disturbing  them.  Posing  as  mule  hands,  we  could 
not  very  well  produce  a  flashlight,  so  we  had  to  stumble  to  the  stables  in 
the  dark.  The  mules  were  in  a  terrible  commotion ;  neighing  frenziedly, 
and  pounding  against  the  sides  of  their  stalls.  Other  strange  sounds  were 
mingled  with  these — we  struck  a  match — three  large  cats,  their  shaggy 
coats  dripping  blood,  were  fighting  in  the  dirt,  shrieking  and  clawing 
over  a  red  blob  on  the  ground.  The  sudden  flare  of  the  match  frightened 
them  away,  and  we  saw  the  cause  of  the  fight — mule  meat.  Though 
mangled  to  a  gory  pulp,  we  could  still  identify  it.  for  one  side  was  covered 
with  hair.  What  drew  our  attention  most,  hf)wever.  was  its  queer  shape; 
it  obviously  had  been  cut  by  a  knife. 


36  St.  Andrew's  College  Review 

The  peons  were  now  running  toward  us ;  they  glanced  at  the  mule  meat 
and  then  at  the  stables.  They  counted  the  mules,  none  was  missing;  they 
counted  them  again,  but  still  they  were  all  there.  We  glanced  at  each  other 
with  the  same  question  in  our  eyes :  where  did  the  mule  meat  come  from, 
and  who  cut  it?  No  one  tried  to  answer  this  question,  and  no  one  said 
anything,  so  taking  advantage  of  the  opportunity  I  made  light  of  the  situa- 
tion, and  told  them  to  go  back  to  bed.  They  murmured  for  a  while  and 
then  went  back  to  the  camp  reluctantly.  No  sooner  had  we  re-entered  the 
camp,  when  again  the  mules  were  in  an  uproar. 

"It's  those  cats  again,"  said  Jose,  ''perhaps  they  want  to  eat  our  mules." 

"Cats  don't  use  knives,"  I  answered. 

Since  the  peons  were  very  superstitious,  they  refused  to  go  back,  but 
when  I  argued  that  it  was  probably  only  a  thief  who  was  trying  to  steal 
the  mules,  they  took  courage,  and  picking  up  enormous  clubs  moved  silently 
toward  the  stables.  They  were  very  surprised  when  I  produced  a  flashlight. 
It  was  pitch  dark  and  silent  in  the  stables  when  we  arrived.  Fearing  the 
thief  had  fled,  we  shone  the  flashlight ;  a  long  shaft  of  light  pierced  the  night ; 
a  mule  was  missing;  and  with  it  four  sacks  of  nitrate.  I  hurried  to  the 
vacant  stall,  and  with  the  aid  of  my  flashlight  I  found  what  I  sought — 
fresh  foot  prints  in  the  mud.  They  were  gigantic,  and  judging  by  their 
depth,  were  made  by  an  enormous  man.  \\'hoever  it  was,  had  plenty  of 
time  to  escape,  for  we  had  been  away  from  the  stable  long  enough  for  him 
to  saddle  the  mule  and  give  it  a  saircut  besides.  We  followed  the  prints 
of  mule  and  man,  which  were  clearly  visible  on  the  soft  sod  of  the  boggy 
moor.  Picking  up  a  ferocious  looking  club,  I  set  off  in  pursuit  of  the  thief. 
For  some  time  we  followed  each  other  in  Indian  fashion,  twisting  and  turn- 
ing through  a  dense  growth  of  scraggy  slash  pine.  The  prints  were  becom- 
ing more  and  more  obscure ;  at  length  we  lost  sight  of  them  altogether.  The 
general  course,  however,  clearly  led  to  the  house.  We  made  our  way 
towards  it ;  not  easily,  for  the  bog  had  virtually  turned  into  a  swamp,  and 
now  and  then  we  sank  to  our  knees  in  the  muddy  stagnant  water,  covered 
almost  completely  with  green  slime  and  rushes.  Frogs  and  mosquitos  kept 
up  a  continuous  chorus  as  we  plodded  on.  At  last  we  arrived  at  the  house, 
and  examined  it  as  best  we  could  in  the  darkness,  since  I  did  not  dare  to 
turn  on  my  light.  We  picked  up  the  trail  again  near  the  servants'  quarters, 
and  followed  it  to  a  spot  where,  much  to  our  horror  and  surprise,  we  found 
large  puddles  of  fresh  blood  and  heaps  of  old  bones — mule  bones.  There 
were  about  three  dozen  mule  skeletons  in  one  pile,  and  others  were  dying, 
suspended  from  a  wire.  W^  followed  the  trail  of  blood  for  a  few  paces, 
and  found  our  mule — dead.  W'e  had  stumbled  on  the  hide-out  of  the 
"Terror  of  the  Mountain.'-' 

I  turned'  to  the  peons ;  they  were  staring  at  the  mule  speechless.    Their

faces  niirriircd  tlu-ir  tlioughts.  and  sc-cinj^f  this  I  inyst-lf  was  terrified.  What 
had  happened  to  the  mule  might  happen  to  us!  My  courage  cruiuMed. 
and  I  was  ahout  to  run,  wlien  I  was  stopped  by  my  friend. 

"Buck  u]).  we're  eighteen  against  one,  and  we  have  him  cornered,"  he 
said,  "follow  me." 

Gripping  our  iitaclicfcs  and  cluhs  with  iremhling  hands,  we  foUnwed  him 
to  the  house,  up  a  flight  of  creaky,  rotted  steps,  that  almost  didn't  hdld  us, 
and  thus  entered  the  hack  door.  We  entered  what  had  once  been  the 
kitchen.  It  was  sparsely  furnished,  hut  it  seemed  that  it  had  heen  used 
recently,  for  we  found  no  dust  or  cobwebs  as  in  all  the  other  rooms,  but 
pots,  pans  and  newly  used  supplies.  From  the  kitchen  we  entered  a  long 
panelled  chamber,  once  the  dining  room.  It  was  deserted  :  all  the  furniture, 
seventeenth  century  style,  was  covered  with  dust  and  cobwel'S.  They  were 
probably  valuable  antiques.  Without  disturbing  anything  we  moved 
through  the  door  into  the  main  hall,  joining  the  front  door. 

From  the  foot  of  a  beautiful  spiral  marble  staircase,  we  swept  the  room 
with  our  flashlights  ;  it  w^as  in  the  same  condition  as  the  dining  room — 
decaying.  A  great,  exquisitely  carved  lamp  hung  above  us  from  a  chain, 
the  candles  unburnt.  the  metal  work  rusted.  As  we  followed  the  bright 
sweep  of  the  light,  we  noticed  footprints  in  the  thick  dust  and  debris  leading 
to  an  adjoining  room.  Instantly  the  flashlights  were  turned  off,  and  the 
clubs  and  machetes  raised,  as  we  moved  into  what  was  probably  once  the 
library.  A  pale  yellow  light  glowed  from  a  large  open  trap-door  in  the 
rug-covered  floor,  dimly  outlining  the  walls  of  the  room,  covered  with 
animal  heads  and  hundreds  of  books.  Perhaps  this  was  the  den  of  the 
"Terror". 

My  heart  was  pumping  fiercely,  and  cold  sweat  ran  down  my  forehead 
as  I  stared  with  my  eyes  fixed  in  the  direction  of  the  open  trap-door.  Then, 
as  if  by  instinct.  I  moved  forward,  my  fingers  locked  solidly  about  my  club. 
The  others  also  approached  the  dreadful  opening,  but  it  was  Pablo  the  chief 
mule  hand,  who  entered  first,  and  led  us  down  into  the  hidden  room. 

The  chamber  was  empty,  but  three  burning  oil  lamps  on  a  corner  table, 
made  it  apparent  that  the  owner  would  soon  return.  It  was  a  large  stone 
room  with  no  windows.  A  heavily  built  wooden  table  stood  before  us; 
a  bed  and  a  desk  in  opposite  corners.  \\'hat  attracted  our  attention,  how- 
ever, was  a  giant  stone  crusher  on  the  other  side  of  the  table,  and  the  great 
number  of  barrels  and  heavy  sacks  which  lay  piled  high  all  around  the 
room.  On  inspection  these  sacks  proved  to  be  filled  with  different  chem- 
icals, mostly  in  an  unrefined  state,  which  explained  the  i)resence  of  the  stone 
crusher.  Another  strange  find  was  a  sack  full  of  i)owdered  mule  bones. 
Apart  from  the  mentioned  furniture,  there  were  innumerable  articles  scat- 
tered about,  rugs,  books,  kitchen  utensils,  clothes,  empty  whisky  bottles.

Among  these  articles  we  found  a  key  to  the  situation — an  old  newspaper 
clipping : 

NOTED  CHEMIST  DISAPPEARS,  FEAR  HE  MAY 
BE  MENTALLY  UNBALANCED 
Santa  Cruz,  apr.   16,   1938 — Professor  J. 
C.  Rodriges.  superintendent  of  the  Santa 
Cruz    Chemical    Works    Inc.    disappeared 
from  his  home  last  night  .   .  . 

Suddenly  we  heard  sluggish  footsteps  above  in  the  library.  My  legs 
trembled  and  my  heart  missed  a  beat.    \\'as  it  the  maniac  Rodriges  ? 

The  peons  were  panic-stricken ;  the  men  who  had  been  so  brave  when 
entering  the  house,  now  fought  to  hide  themselves  behind  the  many  barrels 
and  sacks  along  the  walls. 

Moved  by  a  sudden  thrill  of  fear.  I  dashed  behind  some  tall  barrels 
standing  in  the  far  end  of  the  room,  and  buried  myself  in  a  pile  of  empty 
sacks.  From  where  I  was  hidden  I  had  an  excellent  view  of  the  door.  A 
man  was  coming  down  the  stairs.  .  .  . 

He  was  a  huge  brute,  so  tall  that  he  had  to  stoop  slightly  entering  the 
room.  His  costume  was  a  mixture  of  a  workman's  and  a  butcher's,  con- 
sisting of  soiled  overalls,  heavy  high  cut  boots,  and  covering  this  was  a 
dirty  apron  splashed  with  blood.  His  hair  was  long  and  bushy,  his  face 
as  big  as  a  ham  and  covered  with  wrinkles ;  his  nose  long  and  hooked.  The 
most  terrifying  of  his  features,  however,  were  his  eyes ;  two  red  bloodshot 
balls  sunk  deep  in  his  skull,  that  glittered  murderously. 

Close  on  his  heels  trod  a  black  cat,  one  of  the  three  we  had  seen  at  the 
stables.  With  a  sluggish  stride  he  moved  toward  the  desk,  and  reaching 
for  a  whisky  bottle,  he  sat  down  no  less  than  five  feet  from  me,  and  began 
to  drink.  The  cat  scenting  us,  snarled,  and  curled  up  its  back  with  a  high 
pitched  cry.  The  maniac  stood  up,  and  with  a  vicious  kick,  sent  it  sprawl- 
ing on  the  floor.  For  a  long  time  it  lay  there  writhing  in  pain ;  then  it  got 
up  painfully,  and  limped  away.  The  chemist  was  about  to  sit  down,  when 
Pablo,  who  was  hidden  behind  the  barrel,  moved  slightly,  and  sent  a  glass 
pitcher  crashing  to  the  floor  in  a  thousand  sparkling  splinters. 

There  was  a  wild  dash  for  the  trap-door,  as  the  whole  room  seemed 
suddenly  alive,  with  desperate,  frenzied  men,  who  stumbling  o\er  each 
other,  raced  up  the  stairs  with  the  murderous  maniac  in  hot  pursuit. 

I,  however,  could  not  escape,  since  the  madman  barred  my  only  path  to 
the  door.  I  sat  silently  behind  the  barrel  and  watched  the  brute  return. 
Suddenly  my  eyes  fell  on  the  burning  lamps,  and  a  plan  formed  in  my  mind. 
It  was  a  reckless,  desperate  plan,  but  my  only  possible  way  of  escape. 
Seizing  a  massive  book,  I  stood  up  and  hurled  it  at  the  lamps ;  two  of  them

shattered  sending  rivers  of  flame  spreading  over  the  njoni.  Desperately, 
I  darted  to  the  side  of  the  table  opposite  the  maniac,  keeping  the  width  of 
the  table  between  us.  First  he  stared  at  me  with  his  blocjdshot  eyes,  and 
then  at  the  fire  in  the  corner.  He  knew  that  he  would  h^se  me  if  he  tried 
to  come  round  the  table,  since  I  would  escape  by  the  door.  He  calmly 
went  upstairs  and  slammed  the  heavy  door  shut.     I  was  trapped. 

The  fire  was  spreading  rapidly;  the  chemical  bags  and  barrels  began 
to  burn  with  an  ever  increasing  intensity.  The  trap  opened  and  the  maniac 
appeared  with  a  bucket  of  water,  and  instead  of  pursuing  me  tried  to 
extinguish  the  fire.  This  was  as  I  had  planned  when  I  had  smashed  the 
lamps.  I  dashed  up  the  stairs,  and  finding  it  locked,  pounded  and  fumbled 
with  the  latch  in  an  effort  to  get  it  open.  The  fire  was  now  (nit  of  contnjl. 
the  bags  of  nitrate  were  burning  with  hissing  yellow  flames  that  filled  the 
room,  but  the  maniac  was  still  trying  to  extinguish  it.  Realizing  his  efforts 
were  in  vain,  he  turned  on  me  for  revenge.  Not  a  moment  too  soon  the 
door  gave  way,  for  his  hairy  hand  touched  my  heel  as  I  raced  away  from  that 
flame-filled  chamber. 

I  could  hear  the  voices  of  the  mule  hands  just  outside  the  library,  and 
running  towards  them  in  utter  darkness,  I  tripped,  and  hit  my  head  against 
the  floor.    I  felt  a  black  cloud  settle  over  my  eyes,  and  I  lost  consciousness. 

When  I  awoke.  I  found  myself  in  the  open  air,  and  my  head  was 
bandaged.  A  hissing,  crackling  sound  made  me  rise  on  my  knees  and  look 
around.  Although  I  was  still  a  little  dizzy,  there  could  be  no  inistake  about 
it — the  old  mansion  was  almost  totally  consumed  by  fire. 

My  friends  gathered  'round,  and  Jose  supported  me  while  I  gazed  at 
the  fiery  hell.  It  had  been  the  mule  hands  who  saved  v.v^  from  burning 
alive. 

"When  we  returned  to  the  library,  we  found  you  lying  on  the  floor 
unconscious,"  said  Jose ;  "the  maniac,  who  was  not  far  from  you,  ran  back 
mto  the  cellar,  when  he  saw  us  approaching.  We  closed  the  trap-door  and 
secured  it  by  laying  a  massive  wardrobe  across  it.  It  was  the  human  thing 
to  do." 

"But  why  did  he  keep  such  quantities  of  mule  bones  and  chemicals?" 
1  asked. 

"They  must  have  been  used  as  part  of  a  formula  of  a  powerful  explosive, 
tor  we  were  scarcely  out  of  the  house  before  a  thunderous  explosion  rent 
the  air,  and  half  the  building  collapsed  before  our  eyes." 

I  asked  no  more  questions.  Smouldering  ashes  lay  before  us  when  the 
faint  light  of  dawn  appeared  in  the  sky.    The  mule  train  moved  on.

WITH  the  ever  increasing  measure  of  poHtical  independence  and  Seh'- 
Government  employed  by  the  Britain's  Overseas  Dominions,  the 
Crown  remains  as  the  one  and  supreme  symbol  of  the  unity  of  the  British 
Empire.  The  personal  allegiance  of  every  British  Subject  to  His  Majesty 
the  King,  in  "Bonds  of  Freedom",  is  proving  to  be  a  stronger  tie  than  any 
Statute  ever  passed  by  the  Mother  of  Parliaments. 

It  was  as  the  personal  representative  and  trusted  friend  and  counsellor 
of  our  King  that  we  were  proud  to  greet  His  Excellency.  The  Right 
Honourable.  The  Earl  of  Athlone,  K.G..  P.C.  Governor-General  of  Canada.

The  occasion  of  his  visit  was  the  Forty-Second  Annual  Prize  Day  of  St. 
Andrew's  College,  on  Tuesday,  June  17th,  1941.    x\  truly  memorable  day. 

As  the  whole  School  and  the  many  distinguished  guests  assembled 
expectantly,  the  Guard  of  Honour  was  drawn  up  before  Dunlap  Hall  to 
salute  His  Excellency  in  true  Highland  fashion  on  his  arrival. 

With  customary  pro^nptness  the  Viceregal  party  appeared  at  the 
appointed  moment.  The  Guard  of  Honour  came  to  the  "Present  Arms" 
and  the  pipers  played  the  General  Salute.  Coming  to  attention,  like  the 
true  soldier  tl>at  he  is,  His  Excellency  acknowledged  the  tribute  and  then 
proceeded,  with  a  keen  and  practiced  eye,  to  inspect  the  Guard.  His  high 
praise  of  the  appearance,  bearing  and  precision  of  the  Company  were  a 
well  merited  and  gratifying  reward  for  the  months  of  discipline,  training 
and  drill  which  the  Corps  has  so  faithfully  undertaken  and  so  thoroughly 
mastered. 

The  military  ceremony  at  an  end.  His  Excellency  assumed,  with  an 
easy  grace,  the  role  of  diplomat,  and  held  an  informal  levee  in  the  Assembly 
Hall.  The  platform  guests,  members  of  the  Board  of  Governors,  the 
Masters  and  their  wives,  and  other  special  guests  were  presented  in  suc- 
cession by  The  Headmaster  as  His  Excellency  made  his  progress  around 
the  room.  He  paused  here  for  a  word  with  The  Hon.  R.  C.  Matthews, 
and  stopped  there  to  recall  with  General  Sewell  their  common  loyalty  to 
the  same  crack  Regiment — the  7th  Hussars,  to  which  the  Earl  of  Athlone 
is  Colonel-in-Chief.  and  in  which,  on  leaving  St.  Andrew's,  the  younger 
Sewell  is  ambitious  to  follow  in  the  footsteps  of  his  distinguished  father. 

The  guests  now  took  their  places  in  the  well-decorated  gymnasium, 
and  the  School,  summoned  class  by  class,  marched  smartly  to  their  seats. 
Then  the  skirl  of  the  pipes  brought  them  to  their  feet  for  the  entry  of 
The  Governor-General,  accompanied  by  Sir  Shuldham  Redfern,  K.C.V.O., 
Commander  E.  C.  Sherwood,  R.C.N.,  and  the  platform  party. 

All  stood  at  attention  for  the  National  xA.nthem,  and  the  School  Hymn. 
Then  followed  the  reading  of  Psalm  122  by  Dr.  J.  R.  P.  Sclater.  and  suit- 
able prayers  by  Bishop  Rennison.  after  which  the  Headmaster  extended, 
with  due  deference,  the  welcome  of  the  School  and  of  the  assembled  guests, 
and  expressed  our  appreciation  of  the  honour  which  he  had  so  graciously 
conferred  upon  St.  Andrew's  College  in  coming  to  present  the  Prizes. 

The  Headmaster  next  outlined  liriefly  the  history,  aims  and  achievement 
of  the  School,  its  Scottish  l)ackground  and  English  Public  School  tenden- 
cies. He  paid  tribute  to  the  vision  and  influence  of  Mr.  J.  K.  Macdonald, 
our  founder,  and  to  Dr.  D.  Bruce  Macdonald.  our  former  Headmaster  and 
present  Chairman  of  the  Board  of  Governors.  He  acknowledged  with 
gratitude  the  generous  benefits  which  the  School  had  received  from  Lord 
Strathcona.    Sir   Joseph    Flavelle,    Sir   Albert    Gooderham.    Mr.    Goldwin

"At  the  moment,  the  puhhc  is  mure  ai)])reciative  and  more  critical  than 
ever  hefore  of  the  usefuhiess  and  the  vahie  of  schools  such  as  this.  The 
tremendous  struj;gle  into  which  the  world  is  now  so  unhappily  plunged  is 
a  struggle  of  ideals  and  a  hatlle  of  schools,  as  truly  as  a  hattle  of  regiments 
and  armaments.  The  world  is  tragically  aware  of  what  has  heen  acc(»m- 
plished  in  Germany  and  Italy  in  perverting  the  sound  ideals  of  the  family 
and  of  the  education  of  the  young,  which  have  hitherto  heen  the  safeguards 
of  society.  We  now  know  that  what  is  taught  in  the  classnjom  will  he 
tested  on  the  battlefield,  and  that  what  is  taught  and  how  it  is  taught  will 
eventually  prove  the  salvation  or  the  downfall  of  our  race.  At  St.  Andrew's 
we  have  changed  some  things,  hut  we  have  not  changed  everything ;  we  have 
realized  that  the  studies  and  the  methods  which  produced  such  gallant 
defenders  in  the  Great  War  should  not  be  hurriedly  thrown  into  the  dis- 
card. There  is  still  a  place  for  those  studies  which  build  character,  and  for 
a  course  of  life  which  will  curb  those  excesses  to  which  youth  and  wealth 
are  exposed.  We  try  to  give  our  boys  a  healthy,  self-disciplined  outlook, 
and  we  do  not  expect  them  to  fail  when  they  go  out  into  the  battle  of  life. 
We  look  with  grave  apprehension  upon  those  educational  tendencies  around 
us  which  encourage  license  and  remove  from  the  lives  of  cliildren  parental 
control  and  substitute  the  whim  of  the  moment  or  the  most  trivial  of  intel- 
lectual exercises  for  hard- won  skill,  self-discipline  and  the  treasures  of 
sound  learning. 

"Someone  has  recently  paraphrased  that  famous  quota'don  of  the  Duke 
of  W^ellington  by  saying  that  all  England  is  now  the  Eton  playing  field  of 
Hitler's  Waterloo ;  he  might  have  said  with  even  more  truth  that  all  Eng- 
land is  now  the  active  Eton  brain-power  of  Hitler's  Waterloo.  We  cannot 
afiford  in  the  face  of  the  pressing  need  for  progress  and  invention  to  leave 
such  matters  to  our  enemies,  who  are  likely  to  enslave  the  world  by  the 
abuse  of  Science.  If  in  the  past  it  was  thew  and  sinew  which  won  the 
victory,  in  the  future  it  is  more  likely  to  be  research  and  alert  brain-cells. 
No  nation  armed  with  the  best  brains  is  likely  to  be  attacked.  And  we  have 
to  think,  too,  of  the  great  problems  of  peace  and  reconstruction. 

'AVe  have  been  thinking  of  all  these  things  in  the  shelter  of  this  coiu- 
paratively  remote  quarter  of  the  world  where  as  yet  no  bombs  have  fallen.

radio  for  a  few  minutes  and  read  good  literature.  We  have  an  efficient 
department  of  Physical  Education,  and  we  feed  the  boys  well — possibly 
too  well :  their  parents  find  it  a  strain  to  provide  the  necessary  clothing  to 
cover  their  long  limbs!  Tlje  motto  of  our  school  is  'Quit  you  like  men, 
be  strong",  and  we  want  them  to  be  strong  in  body  and  strong  in  mind. 
And  in  conclusion,  we  lay  special  emphasis  on  our  chapel  services  and  the 
spiritual  development  of  the  boys.  Without  the  support  of  real  religion, 
other  lessons  in  truth  and  honour,  service  and  self-sacrifice,  are  in  vain. 

"I  expect,  your  Excellency,  that  while  I  have  been  speaking  you  have 
been  studying  the  faces  of  these  boys  ;  they  are  true  indication  of  our  failure 
or  success.  I  trust  that  }"ou  ha\'e  found  in  them  evidences  of  those  qualities 
which  all  of  the  British  race  wish  to  see  in  those  who  are  the  hope  of  the 
future  and  of  their  country.  Canada  is  a  spacious  land  ;  she  makes  stern 
demands  on  her  citizens.  We  shall  be  satisfied  if  we  can  breed  men  com- 
parable to  such  a  land  and  to  the  great  stock  of  the  Motherland.  With  such 
a  past,  and  with  such  traditions,  the  boys  of  St.  Andrew's  will  continue  to 
jjlay  a  worthy  part  wherever  and  whenever  dutv  calls." 

At  the  request  of  the  Headmaster  His  Excellency  presented  the  General 
Proficiency  and  Special  Prizes,  and  had  the  satisfaction  of  finding  that  a 
very  crditable  proportion  of  these  went  to  our  war  guests  from  the  British 
Isles. 

His  Excellency  then  delivered  a  very  stirring  address  the  full  text  of 
which  is  as  follows  : 
Mr.  Ketchum.  Ladies  and  Gentlemen. 

I  am  delighted  to  be  here  today  and  to  have  the  privilege  of  presenting 
these  prizes.  In  some  English  schools  this  occasion  is  known  as  Speech 
Day  and  the  boys  themselves  make  the  speeches — and  some  get  the  prizes. 
Here  I  notice  that  I  am  expected  to  make  a  speech,  but  I  do  not  imagine 
I  shall  be  awarded  a  prize  for  it. 

In  many  ways  I  think  your  Canadian  system  is  preferable,  for  I  doubt  if 
the  making  of  speeches  is  an  accomplishment  that  is  to  be  encouraged.  In 
these  days  what  we  want  is  action  rather  than  speeches.  But.  you  will  say, 
what  can  we  do  here  at  school  in  Canada  to  play  our  part  in  winning  the 
war?  It  is  a  reasonable  question,  and  I  should  like  to  tell  you  a  few  of  the 
things  you  can  do.  First  of  all.  you  can  take  an  intelligent  interest  in  the 
war.  Ask  questions  about  it.  Study  its  causes.  Put  yourself  in  the  place 
of  the  enemy  and  consider  what  you  would  do  next.  Don't  make  the  mis- 
take that  millions  of  grown-up  people  make  every  day — don't  study  a  world 
war  by  looking  only  at  a  map  of  Europe.  Remember  that  when  the  war  is 
over,  the  world  has  got  to  be  restored  to  sanitv  and  governed  in  an  orderlv

and  civilized  manner.  That  is  going  to  be  our  job— the  jol)  of  your  genera- 
tion. And  it  has  got  to  be  the  job  of  educated  men  and  women.  The  task 
is  going  to  be  fearfully  difficult,  and  requires  an  abundance  of  clear  thinking. 

In  a  few  years  time  you  will  have  to  make  up  your  minds  what  you  arc- 
going  to  do  in  life.  Let  me  suggest  to  you  that  you  should  give  first  con- 
sideration to  the  service  of  your  country.  Those  of  you  whose  fathers  or 
relations  are  now  in  the  Army,  Navy  or  .-Xir  Force  will  naturally  think  of 
those  Services.  But  I  should  remind  you  that  the  Civil  Services  of  ycjur 
country,  the  great  departments  charged  with  the  administration  of  good 
government,  demand  and  will  continue  to  demand  the  highest  talents  which 
the  educated  men  and  women  from  our  schools  and  universities  can  ])ro- 
duce.  Another  thing  you  can  do  about  the  war  is  to  learn  to  be  good  mi.xers 
— that  is  to  say,  learn  to  understand  the  ways  of  thought  and  the  lives  of 
all  sorts  and  conditions  of  people,  both  those  who  are  more  jirivileged  as 
vvcll  as  those  who  are  less  privileged  than  you.  You  will  hnd  in  the  first 
place  that  wealth  has  little  connection  with  true  worth. 

In  Great  Britain  they  have  formed  what  is  known  as  the  Home  Guard — 
an  astonishing  body  of  men,  many  of  them  old  soldiers,  but  they  come  from 
all  walks  of  life — property  owners,  gardeners,  millionaires,  chauffeurs, 
parsons.  The  other  day  in  England,  a  Brigadier  went  and  inspected  a  unit 
of  the  Home  Guard  and  found  that  one  of  the  sentries  was  his  own  lawyer. 
He  stopped  at  a  man  in  the  front  rank  and  said  "What  were  you  before 
you  joined  the  Home  Guard?"  ".A.  Rear  .Admiral,  Sir."  The  ne.xt,  in 
reply  to  the  same  question,  said  "A  Major-General,  Sir."  The  third  man 
was  wearing  a  row  of  strange  foreign  decorations  and  the  Brigadiei  said 
"And  what  were  you,  my  man?"  The  private  soldier  rephed  "I  was  an 
Ambassador,  Sir." 

So  you  see  in  this  titanic  struggle  what  counts  is  not  .so  much  what  you 
were,  as  what  you  are.  What  matters  is  not  whether  you  are  Canadian  or 
English  or  Scotch  or  Irish  or  whether  you  are  rich  or  poor  or  old  or  young, 
but  what  you  are  capable  of  doing  to  bring  nearer  the  day  when  victory  will 
be  in  our  grasp. 

To  those  of  you  who  are  leaving  school  this  term  and  may  perliai)s  l)e 
called  into  the  service  of  your  country  before  the  war  is  over.  1  would  say. 
"Prepare  yourselves  with  determination  and  zeal  to  make  yourselves  fit 
in  mind  and  body  for  the  responsibilities  which  may  shortly  be  laid  on  your 
shoulders." 

To  those  of  you  who  have  several  years  at  school  ahead  of  you,  I  can- 
not urge  you  too  strongly  to  study  diligently  so  that  your  generation  may 
be  spared  the  tragedy  and  futility  and  folly  oi  war.  Remember  that  war — 
all  war — is  an  indication  of  the  bankruptcy  of  intelligence.  But  now  that 
the  civilized  world  has  been  forced  into  a  struggle  for  its  very  survival.

we  must  all  enter  into  that  struggle  with  fanatical  zeal,  enduring  patience 
and  unswerving  loyalty  to  the  Throne  that  binds  us  all  together. 

As  you  know.  The  King  is  my  nephew.  \\"hen  I  next  write  to  him  1 
will  tell  him  of  my  visit  to  St.  Andrews's  College  today.  And  I  shall  assure 
His  Majesty  that  from  what  I  have  seen  ®f  the  younger  generation  in  the 
schools  throughout  Canada,  I  have  an  evergrowing  confidence  that  the 
future  of  our  great  Empire  will  be  in  hands  worthy  of  their  great  inherit- 
ance. A  great  English  statesman,  Disraeli,  once  said  "To  be  young  is 
great.     To  be  young  and  wuse  is  irresistible. 

'Tn  fact.  I  feel  quite  at  home  here  in  the  Scottish  atmosphere  of  St. 
Andrew's,  honoured  as  I  am  by  being  an  Hon.  Doctor  of  Laws  of  the 
University  of  St.  Andrew's.  Scotland,  and  so  I  think  this  following  Scottish 
version  of  'There'll  always  be  an  England'  will  not  be  out  of  place  and  may 
amuse  some. 

"  'There'll  always  be  an  England  as  long  as  Scotland  stands. 

'It's  just  through  poor  Auld  Scotland  that  England's  wealth  expands. 

'Our  friendly  neighbour  England  we  always  will  defend. 

'We'll  fight  all  England's  battles,  her  broken  ships  we'll  mend, 

'And  when  the  war  is  over  and  victory  has  been  won 

'We'll  sing  all  England's  praises  for  what  auld  Scotland's  done.'  " 

That  is  the  true  Scottish  fighting  spirit ! 

On  resuming  his  seat  His  Excellency  was  greeted  with  three  British 
Cheers  and  a  Tiger  from  the  School  to  which,  at  the  close  of  term,  he  could 
hardly  respond  with  the  declaration  of  a  half  holiday. 

The  singing  of  "I  Vow  to  Thee  My  Country"  made  a  fitting  conclusion 
to  the  exercises. 

The  Guests  of  Honour  then  led  the  way  to  the  Headmaster's  Garden 
where  in  the  shade  of  a  marquee,  was  spread  a  most  tempting  array  of 
delicacies.  The  grounds  and  gardens  were  at  their  best  and  made  a  delight- 
ful setting  for  a  Garden  Party.  Some  four  hundred  guests,  among  whom 
were  many  Old  Boys  of  the  School,  thoroughly  enjoyed  this  hour  before 
returning  to  the  closer  confines  of  the  city. 

The  Review  is  indebted  to  The  Globe  and  Mail  for  its  courtesy'  in  permitting 
republication  of  the  photographs  of  the  visit  of  His  Excellency  the  Governor-General.

HecJ  Prefect 
J.  E.  DAVIS 

The  position  of  Head  Prefect  this  year  was  occupied  by  James  Edward 
"Pat"  Davis,  and  we  think  it  very  fitting  that  he  should  finish  his  dis- 
tinguished career  of  leadership  at  St.  Andrew's  with  this  great  honour. 
Last  year,  in  our  "year  of  years"  in  athletics.  Pat  was  the  only  hoy  in  the 
School  to  be  on  five  first  teams.  This  year  he  again  distinguished  himself 
in  athletics,  being  Captain  in  his  fourth  year  on  the  basketball  team,  and 
Vice-Captain  of  the  football  team.  He  is  also  a  distance-runner  and  a 
swimmer  of  note.  As  Captain  of  the  Cadet  Corps,  Pat  headed  the  guard 
of  honour  which  welcomed  the  Governor-General  to  the  School  this  spring. 
We  all  like  Pat  a  great  deal  and  he  will  certainlv  be  missed  next  year.

The  Headmaster's  Address  to  the  Boys   in  the  Chapel 
on  the  Last  Sunday  of  the  School  Year,  June  15th,  1941 

I  do  not  propose  to  preach  you  a  sermon  this  afternoon,  hut  rather 
to  stand  on  these  chancel  steps  and  for  a  few  minutes  simply  to  chat  to 
you.  Since  it  is  the  last  Sunday  chapel  service  of  the  school  year,  perhaps 
the  younger  boys  will  forgive  me  if  my  remarks  are  chiefly  directed 
towards  those  older  boys  who  are  about  to  leave  the  school  for  the  last 
time,  and  for  whom  this  is  a  most  important  moment. 

\\"e  are  hearing  a  great  deal  these  days  about  the  thing  called  Freedom ; 
it  is  talked  about  on  the  radio ;  it  is  written  about  in  the  press ;  public 
speakers  constantly  make  it  their  theme;  it  is  the  subject  of  many  patriotic 
songs  and  posters.  \\'e  are  told  that  Freedom  is  the  thing  for  which  the 
present  war  is  being  waged,  for  which  many  of  our  own  Old  Boys  are  fight- 
ing. Now  I  have  no  intention  of  trying  to  give  you  a  definition  of  Freedom, 
or  of  embarking  upon  any  philosophical  discussion  of  the  subject — that 
would  be  much  too  large  and  long  a  discourse ;  and  in  any  event,  people 
such  as  J.  M.  Barrie  and  General  Smuts,  have  already  done  such  justice 
to  the  subject  that  it  is  not  for  me  to  attempt  any  improvement  upon  them. 
But  I  think  you  will  agree  that,  however  it  may  be  defined.  Freedom  is 
something  we  all  want ;  you  are  all  looking  forward  to  a  certain  measure 
of  it  when  vou  leave  school  in  the  next  few  da\'s.  and  you  probably  feel  that 


Sl  Andrew's  College  Review  51 

the  strii^r^'lc-  of  a  fairly  hard  tcrin  and  the  battle  of  (inal  examinations  have 
been  worthwhile  when  they  are  followed  by  that  delightful  sense  of  release 
which  comes  with  the  advent  of  the  summer  holidays.  Unfortunately,  how- 
ever, true  I'Veedom  is  not  something  that  can  simply  be  handed  to  you, 
nor  is  it  the  result  solely  of  hard  work,  though  hard  work  always  helps. 
With  nations  as  with  individuals,  Freedom  is  something  that  must  be 
achieved  and  won.  and  no  nation  can  win  it  until  each  of  her  citizens,  in  his 
own  way,  has  achieved  it  for  himself.  How  to  achieve  it  is  the  great 
problem. 

The  Fifth  Form  and  I  have  been  applying  ourselves  to  this  ])rol)lem 
once  a  week  dfiring  this  school  year  and  we  feel  satisfied  in  at  least  one 
conclusion  to  which  we  have  come.  We  have  discovered  that  no  one  can 
be  free  until  he  has  learned  to  be  real — real  in  his  thoughts  and.  just  as 
important,  real  in  his  feelings.  Perhaps  unconsciously  but  none  the  less 
actually,  so  many  of  us  fool  ourselves  and  try  to  fool  others ;  what  we  do, 
say,  think  and  feel  is  so  often  the  product,  not  of  ourselves,  as  we  like  to 
pretend,  but  of  what  others  do.  say.  think  and  feel.  We  do  things  so  often 
because  we  ought  to  do  them,  rather  than  because  we  really  want  to  do 
them.  We  say  things  because  they  are  the  proper  or  the  appropriate  things 
to  say.  and  we  think  things  because  other  people  think  them — so  often  our 
thoughts  and  words  fail  to  be  prompted  by  our  own  real  feelings.  We  think 
and  w'e  say.  for  instance,  that  we  believe  in  Christianity;  bui  if  we  really 
believed  in  Christianity,  how  dififerent  we  would  l)c  from  what  we  actually 
are ! 

Surely  this  state  of  alTairs  is  slavery — slavery  to  the  thoughts  and  feel- 
ings and  actions  of  others — and  we  can't  be  slaves  and  free  at  the  same  time. 
We  can  never  achieve  individual  freedom  until  we  can  rely  on  our  own 
thoughts  and  feelings  rather  than  having  to  rely  on  those  of  others.  This 
means  active  minds  and  hard  work  when  we  are  young  so  that  we  may 
acquire  sound  thoughts  and  feelings,  but  it  also  means  that  we  must  kee]) 
striving  to  discriminate  between  what  is  true  and  real  and  what  is  false  and 
deceptive.  It  is  the  privilege  of  the  very  young  to  live  in  a  world  (tf 
unreality ;  as  we  grow  older  it  is  our  responsibility  to  learn  to  see  things  as 
they  really  are.  This  we  can  do  only  when  we  begin  to  see  ourselves  as  we 
really  are — to  know  ourselves — to  be  real.  .  .  .  Coming  home  from  school 
one  day,  a  young  lad  was  attacked  by  the  village  bully  who.  without  pro- 
vocation, struck  him  mercilessly.  Hostile  but  thoroughly  frightened,  the 
boy  did  not  strike  back,  and  after  withdrawing  from  the  bully  and  straight- 
ening himself  out  he  eventually  reached  home.  He  related  his  e.xperience 
to  his  mother  and  father,  taking  pains  to  make  them  understand  that  he

commended  him.  Adding  wisdom  to  his  devotion  for  the  boy,  the  faiher 
said:  "My  son.  never  confuse  the  love  of  Christ  with  the  fear  of  man". 

The  best  summing  up  of  all  this  is  in  the  familiar  words  of  Shakespeare : 
"This  above  all :  to  thine  own  self  be  true.  And  it  must  follow,  as  the  night 
the  day.  Thou  canst  not  then  be  false  to  any  man".  You  older  boys  are 
now  at  a  stage  where  you  should  no  longer  be  playing  a  game ;  you  should 
have  begun  to  realize  the  real  meaning  of  playing  the  game.  You  should  no 
longer  be  fooling  yourselves  or  trying  to  fool  others  ;  you  should  now  be 
more  real  in  thought  and  feeling  because  you  have  begun  to  learn  the  truth 
about  vourselves.  and  hence  about  other  people  and  the  world.  And  as  the 
truth  begins  to  dawn,  you  will  begin  to  attain  unto  that  real  Freedom — a 
freedom  of  mind  and  spirit — a  freedom  which  will  give  you  the  enthusiasm 
and  the  will  and  the  courage  to  carry  you  through  whatever  storms  and 
hardships  lie  ahead. 

You  have,  I  hope,  begun  to  learn  the  truth  at  school.  You  ha\'e  much 
more  to  learn.  Your  minds  must  continue  to  be  active.  But  wherever 
you  go,  whatever  you  do,  always  remember  what  your  school  has  tried 
most  to  emphasize,  that  by  far  the  greatest  source  of  truth  is  to  be  found 
in  the  life  and  teaching  of  Christ.  At  the  end  of  the  lesson  read  this  after- 
noon, Jesus  said,  'Tf  ye  continue  in  my  word,  then  are  ye  my  disciples 
indeed ;  and  ye  shall  know  the  truth,  and  the  truth  shall  make  you  free". 
When  vou  leave  this  school,  you  will  be  called  upon  to  render  various  kinds 
of  service,  and  I  know  that  you  will  give  it  willingly  and  cheerfully.  But 
your  school  prays  that  your  first  and  your  greatest  service  may  always  be 
that  of  the  true  Christ,  for  his  service  is  perfect  freedom.

On  Saturday.  June  14th,  the  Choir  of  New  St.  Andrew's  Church  held 
a  combined  Picnic  and  Song  Festival  at  the  College.  A  sportive  afternoon 
was  followed  by  high  tea  at  the  Ouchterlony's. 

In  the  evening  there  was  a  delightful  choral  programme  in  the  Chapel; 
the  boys  vying  with  the  choir  in  alternate  groups  of  selections. 

The  Choir  rendered  Psalms  23  and  24;  Jesu.  Joy  of  Man's  Desiring 
(J.  S.  Bach)  ;  Greater  Love  Hath  Xo  Man  (John  Ireland),  and  the  Cesar 
Franck  setting  of  Psalm  150. 

The  School  responded  with  parts  of  three  fine  Hymns  in  settings  which 
have  been  learned  this  year, 

"Come,  my  soul,  thou  must  be   waking — " 
"Lord  of  our  life,  and  God  of  our  salvation," 
"To  thank  the  Lord  our  God  it  is 
A  good  and  comely  thing." 
In  the  third  of  these,  the  Choir,  to  whom  the  tune  was  a  new  one.  sang 
the  fourth  verse  after  the  School  had  sung  the  first  three.    Their  rendering 
showed  the  force  of  our  good  example,  as  may  well  be  imagined. 

The  last  three  numbers  by  the  Choir  mounted  steadily  in  power ;  "The 
Storm  Music"  (Song  of  Miriam),  by  Schubert ;  "Your  Harps  and  Cymbals 
Sound"  (from  "Solomon"),  a  tumultuous  hymn  of  praise  by  Handel;  and 
lastly,  Handel's  mighty  paean  of  triumph  and  resurrection,  "The  Halle- 
lujah Chorus." 

It  seemed  inconceivable  that  so  few  voices  could  have  reached  such  a 
magnificent  climax  as  was  attained  in  the  closing  moments  of  that  memor- 
able recital.  Each  section  of  the  Choir  maintained  its  part  in  due  proportion 
and  with  the  utmost  precision.     The  audience  was  spellbound. 

This  is  the  second  recital  of  this  kind  for  which  we  are  indebted  to  Mr. 
Ouchterlony  and  his  Choir.  It  is  our  sincere  desire  that  it  will  become 
an  annual  event.

MUSIC  STUDENTS'  RECITAL 

On  Thursday,  Ma\-  the  29th,  a  recital  was  given  in  the  Assembly 
Hall  and  Chapel  by  the  piano  and  organ  students.  Beginning  with  boys 
who  are  at  present  at  the  elementar\-  stages,  various  stages  of  pla\ing 
were  demonstrated.  Piano  solos,  duets,  and  two  piano  works  were 
heard  and  some  of  the  most  interesting  compositions  were  those  played 
on  the  organ. 

Explanatory  remarks  were  made  by  Mr.  Ouchterlony,  who  empha- 
sized the  importance  of  a  student's  enjoyment  of  this  type  of  work. 
It  seemed  to  be  evident  that  such  enjoyment  was  felt  by  those  taking 
part  in  what  the  rest  of  the  School  found  an  interesting  and  entertaining 
afternoon. 

The  programme  was  as  follows:

LITERARY  SOCIETY 

The  School  elected  R.  G.  Kilgour  President  of  the  Society.  He  was 
supported  by  W.  A.  Cobban,  Vice-President,  and  G.  R.  M.  Sewell,  Secre- 
tary. J.  E.  Kilmer  and  R.  H.  Kerr  represented  Memorial  House,  and 
J.  R.  Chipman  and  C.  G.  Cotter  represented  Flavelle  House. 

DEBATES 

\\'e  are  hoping  to  raise  the  standard  of  debating  at  St.  Andrew's. 
Hitherto  it  has  not  been  considered  important.  It  is  essential  that  it  take 
a  more  prominent  part  in  our  life  at  school. 

Two  debates  were  held  this  year.  The  first  took  place  on  January  28th. 
The  resolution  was  "That  the  U.S.A.  enter  the  war  against  Germany  at 
once."  This  motion  was  put  before  the  House  by  Ballon  I  and  Thiele. 
It  was  successfully  opposed  by  Cossitt  and  Boothe.  The  speakers  from 
the  floor  presented  their  ideas  in  a  more  coherent  form  than  has  been 
witnessed  in  scA'eral  years. 

The  second  debate  was  held  on  March  1st.  The  subject  of  the  debate, 
"Resolved  that  skiing  be  placed  on  an  equal  footing  with  hockey  in  the 
school,"  was  of  a  nature  that  called  for  considerable  argument.  The  motion 
was  proposed  by  Grant  I  and  Cotter,  and  Kilgour  and  Stapells  opposed  it. 
The  motion  was  carried.  It  is  to  be  hoped  that  in  future  debates  will 
be  given  even  greater  care  and  consideration. 


Miss  van  Gorder,  Anderson,  and  Dale  Ogden  are  clearly  puzzled —

On  Sunday.  lH'l)ruary  9th,  Mrs.  John  Davidson  gave  us  a  lecture  on 
"Hemisphere  Defence."  Mrs.  Davidson  gave  an  accurate  and  vivid 
description  of  the  boundaries  of  this  hemisphere  and  she  pointed  out  various 
places  whence  it  might  be  attacked.  The  interest  of  the  School  in  this

of  the  hemisphere.     We  are  grateful  to  Mrs.  Davidson.

On  Saturday.  February  15th.  the  Literary  Society  was  euLertained  by 
movies  and  a  talk  l)y  Mr.  Percy  Balou  t)f  the  Pit;sburgh  C(tal  Company. 
Mr.  Bak)U  is  ]H-esident  of  the  Canadian  branch.  Tbc  movies  showed  the 
various  stages  from  underground  mining  to  tinished  coal,  such  as  is  usecl 
in  our  furnaces.  The  School  enjoyed  this  exliibition  of  intricate  machinery 
in  motion,  and  was  glad  to  have  a  glim])se  at  the  operatic »n  of  this  modern 
industry. 

"The  Bat" 

THE  dif^culties  attendant  ui)on  the  production  of  a  school  play  are 
many.  Of  these  the  universal  is  the  youth  and  inexi)erience  of  the 
players,  surmounted  in  this  case  by  an  able  choosing  of  the  cast  so  that 
they  fell  naturally  into  their  several  roles.  More  local  factors  were  two ; 
lack  of  time  for  rehearsal,  due  to  conflicting  activities,  and  of  a  proper 
building  for  the  presentation.  The  former  did  not  obtrude  itself  to  any 
great  extent,  although  there  were  moments  which  would  have  been  the 
better  for  more  preparation  ;  the  latter  was  much  more  evident  m  its  results. 
for  the  smallness  of  the  room,  and  the  equal  level  of  the  audience  and  the 
stage,  tended  to  destroy  the  essential  atmosphere  f)f  illusioiv,  revealing  the 
minutest  flaws  in  the  production.  Especially  was  this  felt  in  the  last  scene ; 
it  was  difificult  to  invest  the  hidden  rooms,  secret  panels,  dead  men's  hands, 
et  cetera,  with  the  proper  degree  of  mystery.  Moreover,  the  informality 
thus  created  had  a  distressing  result;  the  audience  felt  no  call  to  restrain 
its  critical  faculty,  which  was  accordingly  manifested  in  a  continuous  low- 
buzzing  and  murmuring,  punctuated  by  occasional  louder  outbursts. 
Whether  this  is  more  comforting  to  the  players  than  a  stony  silence  it  is 
impossible  to  say;  however,  it  renders  many  of  their  remarks  inaudible. 
Despite  these  manifold  difftculties,  Mr.  Tottenham  and  his  assistants 
were  able  to  make  a  highly  effective  presentation  of  the  play.  .-Mthough 
slight  flaws  were  perceptible  here  and  there,  yet  the  general  level  of  per- 
formance was  surprisingly  high.  The  cast  acquitted  itself  nobly  in  the  most 
crucial  test,  that  of  sustaining  interest  throughout,  keejiing  the  play  moving 
from  start  to  finish.  Especially  noticeable  was  the  beginning;  there  was 
nothing  in  particular  to  set  it  off.    Yet  T.ightbourn  and  Cotter  were  able  to 


58  Sl  Andrew' s  College  Review 

hold  our  attention  from  the  first,  carrying  us  along  without  hesitation  to  the 
development.  Cotter  sustained  his  difficult  part  throughout,  without  a 
trace  of  that  overacting  into  which  he  could  so  easily  have  fallen.  Light- 
bourn's  witty  interpretation  of  the  maid's  part  was  carried  out  excellently, 
although  his  accent,  combined  with  speed  of  speech,  obscured  some  of  the 
words.  Mulock  portrayed  simpering  femininity  to  perfection,  while  Lappin, 
although  less  suited  to  his  final  metamorphosis,  possessed  the  indispensable 
blase  air  of  the  detective.  Some  of  us,  however,  regretted  the  absence  of  a 
fat  cigar  between  his  teeth. 

The  make-up  was,  in  general,  excellent.  Cornelia's  was  realistic,  even 
with  the  proximity  of  the  audience.  Beresford's  moustache  added  just  the 
right  touch  to  his  blustering  character.  However,  one  could  not  help 
regretting  Brookes'  perpetual  blush,  which  alone  failed  to  attain  the  general 
high  level. 

Finally,  the  unhonoured  and  unsung  behind-the-scenes  organization 
carried  out  its  functions  with  such  efficiency,  that,  paradoxically,  its  pres- 
ence was  not  noticed.  Thus,  with  the  co-operation  of  an  extremely  able 
staff,  Mr.  Tottenham  was  able  to  produce  a  play  of  high  artistic  perfection, 
enjoyable  in  every  respect.

THE  CHURCH  PARADE 

On  Sunday,  May  11th,  the  Cadet  Corps  held  its  Spring  Church  Parade. 
We  were  glad  this  year  to  renew  our  old  'acquaintance  with,  th.e  pastor  and 
congregation  of  Westminster  Central  United  Church. 

The  Corps  fell  in  at  Rosedale  Park  at  10  a.m.  There  was  an  encourag- 
ing turn-out  of  Old  Boys,  most  of  whom  were  in  uniform.  The  Corps 
left  at  10.15,  went  south  on  Schoolfield  Avenue  and  hy  ijie  usual  route 
through  Rosedale  to  Bloor  Street.  During  the  march  the  band  made  a 
great  deal  of  noise,  and  the  weird  howl  of  its  bagpipes  became  almost 
music  in  our  ears !  The  highlight  of  the  journey  was  the  "eyes  right"  given 
to  the  platoons  at  Branksonie  Hall— it  was  duly  recognized  ( by  some 
feminine  giggles!). 

We  entered  Westminster  Church  shortly  before  eleven  o'clock,  and 
took  our  places  in  the  seats  reserved  for  us.  Dr.  Sedgewick  i)reached  the 
sermon — "Courage,  the  Footstool  of  the  Virtues" — a  very  fitting  one  for 
those  wearing  His  Majesty's  uniform.  Many  Old  Boys  joined  with  us  in 
the  service,  after  which  the  Corps  proceeded  to  Ramsden  Park,  where  it 
boarded  the  'buses  for  home,  and  one  of  Miss  Robertson's  good  Sunday 
dinners. 


The  Cadet  Corps  Band  was  invited  to  be  present  at  the  large  gathering 
which  took  place  in  Maple  Leaf  Gardens,  with  Miss  Dorothy  Thompson

It  remained  seated  during  the  speech,  and  proceeded  out  at  the  end  of  the 
evening.  It  was  given  great  applause  and  made  an  excellent  showing 
(so  good  a  showing  that  a  certain  gentleman's  pocket-book  was  substantially

THE  CADET  CORPS  DANXE 

The  Cadet  Corps  Dance,  a  much  anticipated  event,  was  held  on  Friday. 
May  2nd.  It  was  held  in  the  dining-room,  for  the  decoration  of  which  we 
are  especially  indebted  to  a  committee  of  the  prefects  and  some  other 
practical   "artists."' 


St.  A)idrew's  College  Revievc  6i 

"There  was  a  sound  of  revelry"  that  night,  most  of  it  caused  by  Frank 
Bogart  and  his  orchestra.  (Editor's  Note — It  has  conie  to  niy  notice  that 
certain  "eyes  looked  love  to  eyes  which  spake  again."  hut  such  repc^rts 
are  suhjeci;  to  censorship  at  their  source. ) 

It  seemed  quite  fitting  to  see  certain  menihers  of  His  Majesty's  Cana- 
dian Air  Force  doing  the  "jitterbug."  but  we  regret  that  the  Highland 
qualities  of  our  cadets  were  only  superficial.  Never  (jnce  was  a  word  of 
Gaelic  spoken,  nor  did  a  lad  go  into  a  frenzied  fling  o'  the  Highlands.  The 
boys — for  even  the  masters  were  young  this  night — enjoyed  tiiemselves 
thoroughly. 

Refreshments  were  i)rovided.  and  after  it  the  dancers  b.'held  a  truly 
great  spectacle  on  the  part  of  the  band.  Torches  were  borne  on  high  by 
brown-tunic'd  guards,  and  the  band  marched  to  the  southern  end  of  tiie 
quadrangle,  which  is  o])posite  the  dining-room.  There  it  gave  a  dazzling 
demonstration  of  its  skill,  drums  and  pipes  combining  to  star  in  a  per- 
formance of  "Cock  o'  the  North."  After  this  the  band  departed,  marching 
the  length  of  the  quadrangle  to  the  tune  of  "Bonnie  Dundee." 

The  school  sold  rosettes  at  a  minimum  price  of  fifty  cents.  Thev  were 
well  designed,  combining  the  school  colours  and  the  Gordon  tartan.  Thev 
looked  most  becoming  on  the  girls  ;  we  understood  that  certain  cadets  pur- 
chased some  for  themselves  (all  is  vanity).  Many  uniformed  Old  Boys 
were  present.  Coca-Cola  was  sold,  and  the  profits  helped  to  swell  the 
general  funds,  which  were  turned  over  to  the  Canadian  War  Services  Fund. 


The  Gordons 

Because  St.  Andrew's  College  is  af^liated  with  the  48th  Highlanders 
it  uses  the  Gordon  tartan. 

The  Gordons  have  their  origin  in  the  lowlands  of  Scotland.  There  are 
no  fewer  than  one  hundred  and  fifty-seven  main  branches  of  the  clan  which 
have  been  traced  by  family  historians. 

A  laird  of  Gordon  in  Berwickshire,  near  the  English  border,  is  said  to 
have  fallen  in  the  battle  of  the  Standard  (1138).  Sir  Adam  Gordon  at 
first  took  the  side  of  the  English  in  the  Scottish  struggle  for  independence, 
and  is  the  first  member  of  the  Gordon  family  to  win  a  place  in  history. 
After  Bannockburn  he  attached  himself  to  Robert  Bruce,  and  was  granted, 
in  1318,  the  Lordship  of  Strathbogie. 

.,     General  Lord  Adam  Gordon  became  commander  of  the  forces  in  Scot- 
land in  1782  and  governor  of  Edinburgh  Castle  in  1786.

Among  the  many  soldiers  of  fortune  bearing  the  name  of  Gordon  was 
Colonel  John  Gordon,  one  of  the  murderers  of  Wallenstein.  Patric  Gordon 
in  the  service  of  Charles  X  of  Sweden  in  1651  served  against  the  Poles. 

In  1771  the  Eighty-first  Regiment  of  Gordon  Highlanders  was  raised, 
and  disbanded  in  1783. 

The  Ninety-second,  raised  in  1774,  and  the  Old  Seventy-fifth's,  make 
up  the  present  Gordon  Highlanders.

Shooting  started  at  the  beginning  of  the  Spring  term.  Many  of  the

THE  climax  of  the  Little  Big  Four  cricket  schedule  \v(jun(i  up  the 
'  athletic  programme  for  the  school  for  the  year  1940-41,  aud  although 
the  men  in  white  didn't  roll  home  in  a  blaze  of  glory,  they  played  and 
practiced  hard,  and  as  a  result  a  very  young  eleven  compiled  a  fair  record. 
However,  we  failed  to  come  through  against  the  strong  Little  Big  Four 
teams.  Trinity  and  Upper  Canada  showed  more  jiower  at  the  bat,  whilst 
Ridley  proved  themselves  superior  in  both  fielding  and  batting,  to  Miis  year's 
eleven.  Harry  Davis,  although  he  didn't  produce  a  winning  side,  did  the 
utmost  it  was  humanly  possible  with  the  scanty  material  ^.t  hand,  and 
deserves  a  great  deal  of  credit.  As  was  the  case  last  year,  this  year's  was 
a  one-man  bowling  stalT.  Personifying  this  department  was  Captain  John 
Kilmer,  a  tall  over-the-wicket  bowler  with  an  easy  action.  A  medium-fast 
bowler,  with  a  slight  swerve  and  a  leg  break,  he  was  hard  to  hit,  and  took 
numerous  wickets  in  his  five-man  trap  in  the  slips.  John  proved  himself  a 
very  able  leader  on  and  olT  the  field,  and  deserves  much  credit  for  his 
leadership  of  a  very  inexperienced  eleven.  On  the  whole,  the  fielding  this 
year  was  terrible,  although  Davis  I,  Chipman  and  Cobban  distinguished 
themselves  in  this  very  important,  though  oft-neglected,  phase  of  the  game. 
Our  batting  was  also  weak,  Chipman  and  Cobban  being  the  only  outstand- 
ing bats.  The  former,  a  good  all-rounder,  has  an  excellent  eye,  and  made 
up  for  his  odd  careless  defensive  stroke  by  his  powerful  drives  all  round 
the  wicket.  A  forceful  batsinan,  he  went  after  his  runs  (of  which  he  secured 
many)  right  froin  the  first  over.  The  latter  was  a  direct  contrast  to  Chip- 
man.  A  careful  bat,  Cobban  has  many  very  polished  defensive  strokes 
which  are  gems  to  watch.     He  nevertheless  proved  that  he  could  "open 


66  Sl  Andrew's  College  Review 

his  shoulders"  to  the  balls  which  were  off  the  wicket,  and  proved  himself 
a  dependable  bat.  Kilmer  was  a  good  bat,  and  Thiele  occasionally  found 
his  range,  but  from  here  on  the  case  was  a  sad  one.  McPherson,  a  fair 
bat,  was  very  unreliable  and  didn't  deliver.  The  rest  of  the  batting  list 
was  a  veritable  nightmare,  but  their  experience  should  stand  our  young 
tail-end  batsmen  in  gooid  stead  for  the  years  to  come. 

We  might  take  a  lesson  from  this  year's  performance.  The  interest 
and  fundamentals  imparted  b}-  :Vlr.  Macrae  and  Mr.  Ives  in  Macdonald 
House,  wane  in  the  Upper  School.  Their  fine  work  is  wasted  unless  there  is 
sufficient  coaching  in  the  years  that  follow.  That  the  team  had  insuffi- 
cient practice  is  also  very  evident.  Our  tail-end  batsmen  had  barely 
mastered  the  fundamental  strokes,  our  bowlers  were  inexperienced,  and  our 
fielding  showed  a  lack  of  everything,  but  mainly  practice.  Coaching  and 
practice  are  really  one  item,  for  the  latter  cannot  be  accomplished  properly 
without  the  former.  Harry  Davis  has  done  the  best  possible  in  a  minimum 
of  time,  and  is  an  excellent  coach — but  he  can  only  do  the  work  of  one  man. 
A  proposed  remedy  for  St.  Andrew's  College  cricket  would  be  several  of 
the  masters  (we  suggest  Mr.  Macrae  and  Mr.  Hewitt)  acting  as  assistant 
coaches,  under  Mr.  Davis  as  head  coach.  In  this  way.  coaching  and  practice 
could  go  on  in  a  number  of  nets,  and  the  assistant  coaches  could  drill  in 
fielding  and  fundamental  weaknesses,  with  Mr.  Davis  dealing  in  the  finer 
points.  We  hope  that  this  proposal  will  receive  some  attention,  and  feel 
confident  that  it  could  only  result  in  success. 

It  is  with  great  reluctance  that  we  say  farewell  to  Mr.  Griffiths,  and 
we  doff  our  bonnets  to  his  great  organization  of  physical  education  and 
athletics  at  St.  Andrew's  for  the  past  decade. 

No  school  in  Canada  produces  so  many  first-rate  teams  for  its  size. 
From  the  minimum  of  material  he  has  turned  out  six  First  Teams  annually, 
as  well  as  younger  school  teams  and  intramural  squads,  for  the  sake  of 
producing  First  Team  material  for  the  future.  He  has  organized  our  sports 
to  a  singular  degree,  and  has  developed  systems  followed  by  coaches 
throughout  the  country. 

This  year  Griff  organized  a  "Pool  Patrol,"  which  is  in  complete  com- 
mand of  the  Lady  Eaton  Memorial  Tank.  The  group  coaches  the  boys  of 
St.  Andrew's  and  of  the  Aurcjra  Boy  Scout  Troop  in  life-saving  and  swim- 
ming. The  squad,  ably  headed  by  Kilgour  and  Sabiston,  is  doing  a  very 
commendable  job  in  a  province  threaded  with  lakes  and  rivers,  and  are 
furthering  the  objectives  of  general  water-safety  education.  The  latter 
is  a  science  which  is  both  very  practical  and  very  essential,  and  which  at 
the  same  time  provides  wholesome  recreation  and  healthful  exercise.  The 
aim  of  the  patrol   is  not  to  teach  professional   life-saving,   but   rather  to

encourage  more  personal  care  on  the  part  of  the  individual,  and  to  give 
instruction  on  methods .  which  will  aid  others. 

So  wishing  Griff  all  of  the  best  for  the  future,  happy  landing  in  his 
new  field  and  less  weeds  on  his  farm,  we  say  "au  revoir." 

The  most  successful  coach  of  the  year  has  been  Mr.  Millward  to  whom 
much  credit  is  due  for  giving  St.  Andrew's  championship  teams  in  Basket- 
ball and  Track.  The  latter,  a  well-balanced  and  powerful  squad  of  only  8 
(which  broke  11  school  records  at  the  school  meet)  put  together  12  firsts, 
4  seconds  and  a  third  for  7Z  points,  to  bring  S.A.C.  its  first  championship 
at  the  Ontario  District  Meet. 

The  basketball  team  ran  up  its  second  championship  in  as  many  years, 
although  primarily  a  2-man  squad.  In  the  latter  I  refer  to  Captain  and 
Left  Forward  Pat  Davis  and  centre  star  Bill  Gourlay.  two  of  the  finest 
interscholastic  basketball  players  in  the  country.  The  former  is  a  fine 
field  general  and  a  very  unselfish,  accurate  and  deceiving  passer,  whilst  the 
latter  is  an  excellent  all-rounder,  with  a  variety  of  shots  from  all  round 
the  basket.     His  set  shot  off  his  finger  tips  was  particularly  eft'ective. 

Mr.  Sweeney  also  scored  his  second  championship  in  two  years.  In- 
tying  with  Trinity  for  the  top  rung  in  the  hockey  conference.  He.  too, 
deserves  much  credit  for  turning  out  a  fighting  squad  which  always  went 
hard. 

At  this  point  we  must  mention  the  revival  of  the  U.C.C.  game,  in  which 
the  College  sextet  proved  far  too  powerful  for  the  local  lads.  Lead  by 
centre  George  Mara,  who  skates  like  a  pro.  Upper  Canada  showed  terrific 
strength  in  all  departments,  and  literally  skated  rings  around  St.  Andrew's. 
The  College  can  be  justly  proud  of  its  great  hockey  teams. 

In  closing  we  salute  Ridley  for  recapturing  from  us  Football  and 
Cricket  championships,  and  in  so  doing  monopolizing  Little  Big  Four 
honours.  The  Orange  and  Black  continue  to  show  themselves  great 
athletes,  and  what's  more  important,  great  sportsmen.

THE  TRINITY  GAME 

On  May  31st  the  First  Eleven  opened  their  Little  Big  Four  schedule 
against  Trinity  College,  on  the  latter's  grounds,  at  Port  Hope.  The  day 
was  cloudy  and  the  pitch  hard  and  fast,  offering  little  advantage  to  spin 
bov^lers.  Kilmer  won  the  toss  and  elected  to  bat.  Cobban  and  McPherson 
opened,  and  batting  carefully,  amassed  21  runs  before  the  former  was 
bowled  by  Lambert.  McPherson  was  caught  almost  im.mediately  after- 
wards, but  Chipman  and  Thiele  struck  up  a  partnership  and  the  runs 
mounted.  Both  worked  themselves  in  carefully,  and  when  Chipman  was 
finally  out  l.b.w.,  things  looked  bright  for  St.  Andrew's  with  the  score 
97  for  3.  Chipman  had  amassed  a  brilliant  55,  which  included  six  boundary 
fours  and  a  boundary  six.  His  eye  in,  he  was  driving  balls  all  around  the 
wicket  without  discretion,  and  with  terrific  power  behind  each  drive. 
Thiele  continued  with  Kilmer,  and  both  were  retired  with  creditable 
innings,  the  former  with  18  and  the  latter  with  12.  From  here  on  our  luck 
left  us.  and  with  the  exception  of  Opie  (11),  the  rest  of  the  batsmen  went 
down  in  order.  The  School  were  all  out  for  130,  mainly  due  to  the  fine 
bowling  of  Lambert,  who  in  14  overs,  5  of  which  were  maidens,  took  5 
wickets  for  23  runs.  At  3.30  St.  Andrew's  took  to  the  field,  but  our  spin 
bowlers  found  their  task  practically  an  impossible  one  on  the  hard  wicket, 
and  Trinity  runs  quickly  mounted,  as  they  drove  hard  our  straight  bowl- 
ing. Kilmer  did  an  iron-man  performance  in  bowling  21  overs,  and 
Cobban's  fielding  was  very  commendable.  The  clever  batting  of 
Lemesurier.  Jones,  and  "Stone-wall  Caldwell",  the  batting  and  bowling  of 
Lambert,  and  the  wicket-keeping  of  Duggan  I,  were  towers  of  strength 
to  the  home  eleven. 

Final  score:  Trinity  169  for  4,  St.  Andrew's  LSO.  E.  M.  B.

THE  RIDLEY  GAME 

The  second  Little  Big  Four  game  was  that  against  Ridley  College, 
played  on  our  home  grounds.  It  was  a  very  fine  day  and  the  pitch  was 
in  excellent  condition.  Ridley  fielded  a  very  powerful  team,  featuring  hard- 
hitting and  accurate  bat^,  and  tricky  bowling.  The  St.  Andrew's  eleven, 
a  much  younger  and  a  very  inexperienced  team,  played  hard  and  gave  of 
their  best,  and  although  their  performance  was  a  creditable  one  for  these 
reasons,  they  were  no  match  for  the  seasoned  Ridley  cricketers.  It  is 
interesting  to  note  that  only  four  times  did  the  Ridley  batsmen  hit  flys, 
and  that  two  of  these  were  caught  and  the  other  two  were  dropped  catches. 
This  would  illustrate  the  importance  of  keeping  the  ball  on  the  ground. 
Ridley  having  won  the  toss,  batted  first,  and  with  the  exception  of  Kilmer, 
they  hit  our  bowling  at  will.  Drope  and  Cameron  opened,  and  from  the 
outset  it  was  apparent  that  they  were  after  runs.  When  the  former  was 
caught  at  point  on  a  fine  catch  by  Davis  I.  things  looked  bright,  but  we 
were  sadly  disillusioned.  Cameron  and  Groves  struck  up  a  brilliant  partner- 
ship, and  were  driving  the  ball  strongly,  all  around  the  wicket.  Cameron 
was  finally  bowled  after  a  very  fine  45.  and  Graves,  having  survived  a 
loud  appeal  for  a  tick,  together  with  Hague,  continued  till  hnich.  when 
play  was  halted  with  the  score-board  reading  133  for  2.  The  issue  looked 
desperate,  but  after  lunch  things  appeared  more  encouraging.  Kilmer  had 
found  his  range,  and  was  bringing  a  very  fast  ball  down  hard  on  the  speedy 
wicket.  At  this  time  he  took  3  wickets  for  as  many  runs,  retiring  Hague, 
McCrea  and  Snively.  Graves  went  down  for  62  after  a  brilliant  innings, 
bowled  by  Clarkson.  Our  luck  didn't  hold,  however,  and  strong  innings 
by  Schmon.  Cronyn  and  Scandrett  brought  the  Ridley  total  up  to  a  con- 
spicuous 216.  At  3.15  St.  Andrew's  started  their  innings,  but  it  was  little 
more  than  a  procession.  Chipman,  Kilmer  and  Clarkson  hit  the  double 
figures,  but  the  rest  were  a  sad  story,  and  we  were  all  out  for  50  runs. 
Davis  I.  Chipman.  Cobban,  Pollock  and  Davis  II  had  fielded  well,  but  the 
rest  were  terrible,  in  this  department.  Ridley  completely  outclassed  us.  and 
though  our  inexperience  will  excuse  our  batting  and  bowling,  there  was  no 
excuse  for  our  sloppy  fielding.  Kilmer  played  very  well.  Besides  having 
a  good  innings  at  bat,  his  7  for  38  is  a  very  praiseworthy  performance 
against  so  powerful  an  eleven  as  Ridley.  Almost  all  the  Ridley  batsmen 
had  good  innings,  and  special  credit  must  be  given  McCrea  and  Graves  for 
their  very  fine  bowling.  The  latter  was  possibly  the  star  of  the  day, 
amassing  a  magnificent  62  at  bat.  and  taking  4  wickets  for  13  runs. 

Final  score  :  Ridley  216,  St.  Andrew's  50.

THE  UPPER  CANADA  GAME 

On  June  7th  the  First  Eleven  met  Upper  Canada  on  the  latter's  grounds, 
in  the  final  Little  Big  Four  game  of  the  season.  It  was  a  sultry  day  with 
scattered  showers,  but  the  pitch  was  nevertheless  in  fair  condition.  Upper 
Canada  won  the  toss  and  promptly  went  to  hat.  Ross  and  Davies  opened, 
but  after  only  4  runs,  both  were  dismissed,  the  former  on  a  fine  throw  by 
Chipman  and  the  latter  on  a  beautiful  ball  by  Kilmer.  Beveridge  and  Aird 
followed,  but  their  luck  was  no  better  than  that  of  their  opening  batsmen, 
and  4  wickets  were  down  for  1 1  runs.  But  now  Foulds  and  Mills  were 
batting,  and  with  the  former  blocking  and  the  latter  hitting,  a  brilliant 
partnership  was  formed,  and  the  runs  mounted.  Mills  was  finally  out 
l.b.w.  ofT  Kilmer,  after  a  fine  innings  of  39.  which  included  five  boundary 
fours  in  a  row.  Burden  and  Gibson  followed  with  fair  innings  and  then 
Chipman  lifted  Foulds  ofif  stump  right  out  of  the  ground,  on  a  fast  swerve. 
The  latter,  batting  very  carefully,  had  compiled  a  creditable  26.  Bebell 
was  run  out  a  few  balls  after  taking  his  guard,  and  with  the  score  105  for  9, 
St.  Andrew's  appeared  to  be  on  top  of  the  play.  But  now  Bremner  and 
Jeflfs  were  at  the  wicket  and  formed  a  fine  partnership  that  resulted  in  50 
runs,  before  the  former  was  finally  caught  in  the  slips  off  Kilmer.  With 
the  exception  of  Captain  Kilmer,  who  as  usual  bowled  very  steadily,  our 
bowling  was  very  weak.  A  few  of  our  fielders  played  well,  notably  Chip- 
man,  who  played  brilliantly  in  this  department,  and  Davis,  whose  long 
throws  were  always  right  to  the  wicket-keeper.  On  the  whole,  however, 
our  fielding  was  poor.  St.  Andrew's  batsmen,  facing  a  total  of  155,  were 
the  victims  of  a  combination  of  excellent  College  fielding  and  hard  luck. 
Our  opening  bats.  Cobban  and  Thiele,  were  dismissed  for  round  scores. 
The  former  had  been  caught  on  a  very  hard  drive  to  mid-otif.  Chipman. 
who  followed  with  a  fine  19,  was  caught  on  almost  the  identical  play,  and 
after  he  was  out.  our  batting,  with  the  exception  of  Lappin  (23).  was 
very  weak.  Young  and  inexperienced,  our  tail-end  batsmen  were  very 
nervous  as  a  result  of  the  load  placed  on  their  shoulders  by  our  leading 
bats.  Nevertheless  they  played  hard,  and  their  experience  can  only  stand 
them  in  good  stead  for  next  year. 

Final  score:  Upper  Canada  155,  St.  Andrew's  70.

Little  Big  Four  All-Star  Cricket  Team 

When  Little  Big  Four  athletics  have  been  at  their  best,  people  have 
remarked  on  the  idea  of  having  a  Little  Big  Four  All-Star  selection, 
with  a  view  to  seeing  how  good  a  team  could  be  turned  out.  We  decided 
to  act  upon  this  idea  and  it  is  interesting  to  note  the  results.  The  sup- 
port received  was  most  encouraging  and  we  might  add  that,  as  can  be 
seen  from  the  polling,  those  who  made  the  selections  were  completely 
unbiased  as  to  their  choice. 

On  Friday,  June  13th,  letters  were  sent  out  to  Ridley,  Trinity  and 
Upper  Canada,  requesting  that  the  sports  editors  of  the  school  magazines 
of  these  seats  of  higher  learning  should  furnish  immediately  a  selection 
for  a  Little  Big  Four  all-star  cricket  team.  On  Monday  morning  came 
an  encouraging  letter  from  J.  M.  G.  Smart,  sports  editor  of  the  Ridley 
school  magazine,  Acta  Ridleana,  containing  his  choice  for  the  team.  Later 
that  same  morning  we  received  a  telegram  from  the  Record  at  Trinity, 
in  which  another  eleven  had  been  chosen.  On  Tuesday,  Ross  MacMillan 
(substituting  for  Bob  Fairhead  of  the  College  Times)  made  the  selection 
for  Upper  Canada,  which  we  received  by  telephone.  We  now  had 
selections  from  all  four  of  the  Little  Big  Four  schools,  and  we  proceeded 
to  tabulate  the  results.  Graves  and  Drope  of  Ridley,  Lemesurier  of 
Trinity,  Mills  of  Upper  Canada,  and  our  own  Chipman  of  St.  Andrews, 
were  uananimously  selected.  McCrae,  Robertson,  Kilmer,  Beveridge, 
Aird,  Lambert  and  Duggan  I  completed  the  team,  which,  on  account 
of  a  tie,  included  twelve  men.  The  team  would  boast  eight  first-class 
bowlers,  including  Robertson,  a  sensational  fast  bowler,  Kilmer,  an 
excellent  "length-bowler,"  and  Graves,  McCrae,  Mills  Beveridge,  Lam- 
bert and  Duggan,  all  experienced  spin-bowlers.  All  twelve  men  are  ex- 
cellent bats,  their  batting  average  as  a  whole  being  approximately  38. 
The  fielding,  led  by  McCrae,  would  also  be  of  a  very  distinctive  order. 
Aird  would  make  a  good  wicket-keeper.  A  squad  like  this  might 
"go  places." 

We  feel  that  the  selection  of  Little  Big  Four  all-star  teams  in  football 
and  cricket  in  the  future  will  serve  to  heighten  interest  in  these  sports, 
and  to  give  something  for  the  outstanding  athletes  in  the  Little  Big  Four 
really  to  aim  at. 

FinalK-,  we  should  like  to  thank  very  sincerely  the  Record,  the  Acta 
Ridleana  and  the  College  Times  for  their  generous  and  very  co-operative 
support,  without  which  this  all-star  selection  would  have  been  impossible.

St.  Andrew's  College  Review 


JtsjcA  Qc  .AiM. 


Wednesday,  May  21st,  Games  Day,  climaxed  what  was  probably  the 
greatest  week  in  track  and  field  events  in  the  history  of  the  school.  In 
the  events,  run  off  over  a  period  of  seven  days,  twelve  new  school  records 
were  created.  Leading  the  field  was  Jon  Ballon,  who  set  a  precedent  in 
winning  all  seven  junior  events  (as  well  as  coming  second  to  his  brother  in 
the  mile)  and  in  so  doing  broke  three  and  tied  a  fourth  school  record. 
Don  Sabiston  broke  three  records,  while  Ed.  Ballon  and  James 
O'Brien  had  two  each  to  their  credit.  George  Brickenden  was  declared 
senior  champion,  Don  Sabiston  won  the  Intermediate  Rowell  Trophy, 
and  Jon  Ballon  was  the  undisputed  junior  champion.

This  June  two  members  of  the  Boy  Scout  Troop  of  Aurora  distinguished 
themselves  by  rescuing  a  boy  at  Richardson's  Pond. 

Atteridge,  also  an  Aurora  boy,  found  himself  in  difficulties  when  he 
left  a  raft  and  attempted  to  swim  to  shore.  Scout  Gunton  supported 
Atteridge  in  the  water  and  called  a  second  Scout,  Bryan.  The  two  Scouts 
brought  the  boy  ashore  and  prevented  a  drowning  accident. 

The  interesting  side  of  the  incident,  to  Andreans,  was  the  fact  that  the 
boys  responsible  for  the  rescue  had  been  trained  by  the  Life  Guard  Corps 
of  St.  Andrew's  College.

Basketball 


1st  basketball  team 

Front  Row — J.   A.   McN'ean,   \V.    B.   Gourlav.  J.   E.   Davis   (Captain),   C.    E.   Spence, 

R.  H.  A.  Kerr. 
Back  Row — W.   M.   Hueston  (Manager^,  J.  E.   Kilmer,  J.   D.  Eraser,   Mr.   Millward. 

Once  again  this  year,  the  basketball  team  successfully  completed  a  rigid 
schedule,  winning  9  of  11  games,  and  convincingly  defended  the  "Prep" 
League  title. 

The  team,  which  early  gave  promise  of  being  a  decidedly  youthful  and 
inexperienced  squad,  developed  rapidly  into  a  speedy  and  high-scoring 
quintet,  mainly  through  the  very  capable  and  inspired  coaching  and  patience 
of  Mr.  Millward.  Also  the  presence  of  the  high-scoring  pair,  Gourlay  and 
Davis,  both  exceptionally  fine  players,  constituted  the  difference  between 
an  average  team  and  the  very  good  one  which  it  proved  to  be. 

Of  the  less  experienced  players  Spence  and  McVean  showed  the  most 
improvement  as  the  season  progressed,  and  together  with  Kilmer.  Kerr. 
Eraser  and  O'Brien,  all  gave  most  creditable  account  of  themselves. 

Unfortunately  for  the  School,  Davis,  Gourlay,  Kilmer  and  McV'ean 
have  graduated  this  year  and;  it  goes  without  saying,  have  left  a  large  order 
to  be  filled  next  season.  Nevertheless  with  Fraser^  Kerr.  Spence  and 
O'Brien  returning,  it  is  hoped  that  they  will  pro\4de  the  nucleus  for  another 
fine  cage  squad. 

First  team  colours  were  awarded  to  Davis  (Capt.),  Gourlay,  Spence, 
McVean  and  Fraser. 


St.  Andrew's  College  Review  8i 

THE  SCHEDULE 
The  school  team  commenced  the  season  with  a  series  of  3  pre-season 
exhibition  games,  one  each  with  Pickering,  Newmarket  High  School  and 
Aurora  High  School.  Tliere  was  little  at  stake  in  these  games,  which  were 
arranged  merely  to  gain  experience  for  the  younger  players.  Pickering 
defeated  the  School  in  the  tirst  game,  but  thereafter  the  team  soon  demon- 
strated the  possibility  of  developing  into  a  high-scoring  and  sound  defensive 
scjuad.  defeating  both  Newmarket  and  Aurora  high  schools. 

S.A.C.  25— U.T.S.  24 
The  first  league  game  was  played  at  the  U.T.S.  gymnasium  and  after 
an  unusually  rough  and  ragged  contest,  the   School  emerged   victorious. 
Gourlay  with  12  points  and  Davis  with  9,  led  the  scoring  for  the  school. 

S.A.G.  42— PICKERING  COLLEGE  28 
In  this  game  the  School  team  easily  redeemed  themselves  for  an  earlier 
set-back  at  the  hands  of  Pickering.  It  was  the  first  home  game  of  the 
schedule  and  once  again  S.A.C.  won  convincingly.  This  time  Davis  led  the 
scoring,  with  21  points,  followed  by  Gourlay  who  garnered  15  although  he 
was  closely  guarded. 

S.A.C.  55— U.C.C.  15 
In  the  third  game  of  the  schedule,  played  at  the  S.A.C.  gymnasium, 
the  School  literally  over-powered  a  most  inexperienced  Upper  Canada 
squad  and  piled  up  an  amazing  score  of  55  as  against  15.  Bill  Gourlay 
scored  19  points  in  the  first  half  and  contented  himselV  with  4  in  the 
second,  to  lead  again  the  scoring  parade.  Davis  with  13  points  and  Spence 
with  6  both  played  tine  basketball,  as  did  O'Brien  with  5  points. 

S.A.C.  24— PICKERING  COLLEGE  2>7 
In  the  return  game  with  Pickering  the  School  suffered  its  first  loss  in 
the  league  schedule.  The  game  was  played  at  the  Pickering  gymnasium. 
Gourlay  and  Davis  played  well  for  the  School  but  were  unable  to  deliver 
their  customary  scoring  punch  and  being  closely  guarded  each  scored  8 
points.  For  Pickering:  Dewar,  Frost  and  Bamford  played  well.  Frost 
led  the  scoring  with  11  points. 

S.A.C.  34— U.T.S.  19 

It    was    imperative    that    the    School    win    this    game,    for    in    losing. 

Pickering  would  have  replaced  S.A.C.  in  the  league  standing.     With  this 

in  mind  the  team  played  inspired  basketball,  defeating  U.T.S.  by  15  points. 

The  Toronto  school,  which  was  inclined  to  over-guard,  suffered  16  personal

fouls  which  did  little  good.     Gourlay  and  Davis  scored  13  and   12  points 
respectively,  and  Mc\'ean  followed  with  5  for  the  School. 

S.A.C.  45— UPPER  CANADA  25 

The  School  defeated  U.C.C.  in  the  return  game  at  Toronto.  The  first 
half  was  unpleasantly  close,  the  score  remaining  18-17  in  our  favour.  How- 
ever, in  the  second  half  after  some  carefully  chosen  words  by  Mr.  Mill- 
ward,  the  School  surged  ahead,  scoring  17  more  points  as  against  8. 
Gourlay  had  a  field-day.  scoring  24  of  his  team's  total.  Davis  with  7, 
Spence  with  6.  and  ]\lc\'ean  with  5  were  the  other  leading  scorers  for  the 
School. 

The  season  closed  with  a  2  game  exhibition  series  with  Trinity  College. 
The  first  game  was  played  at  the  School  and  T.C.S.  was  defeated  33-11. 
In  the  return  game  at  Port  Hope.  Trinity  was  again  defeated,  this  time 
35-16.  Thus  the  team  concluded  the  season  having  been  compelled  to 
default  in  the  Toronto  and  District  play-offs,  owing  to  pressure  of  the 
impending  Easter  examinations. 

The  team :  Forwards.  Spence.  Davis ;  centre,  Gourlay ;  guards,  Mac- 
Vean  and  Kerr.    Alternates :  Kilmer.  Eraser.  O'Brien.

On  Saturday.  January  18th,  the  annual  Old  Boys'  hockey  game  was

Cobban,  MacMillan  and  Heuston  II.  In  the  second  period  the  Old  Boys 
struck  back  briskly  to  tie  the  score  on  goals  by  D.  Gear,  D.  MacClelland 
and  Dickie.  They  secured  the  winning  goal  in  the  final  period  when  J. 
Martin  scored  on  a  pass  from  D.  Gear. 

The  School  team  had  a  edge  on  the  play,  but  muflfed  many  scoring 
chances.

S.A.C.  vs.  GROVE 

On  Saturday,  February  8th,  the  Firsts  set  out  for  Lakefield  but  did  not 
arrive  until  about  7.30  p.m.,  due  to  the  hea\7-  snow  in  that  part  of  the 
country.  The  game  got  under  way  about  8  p.m.  x\lthough  our  team  was 
tired  from  continually  pushing  the  bus  out  of  snow  drifts  they  managed 
to  emerge  with  a  7-4  victory. 

In  the  first  period  Johnston  opened  the  scoring  for  St.  Andrew's  with 
a  tally  after  about  5  minutes  of  play.  MacMillan  also  scored,  making  it 
2-0  for  S.A.C.  at  the  end  of  the  first  period. 


Sl  A)idrew's  College  Review  87 

In  the  second  period  Lakerteld  rallied  when  Roberts  scored  two  goals, 
making  it  2-2.  Both  teams  started  to  put  on  the  pressure  and  Lang  con- 
tributed another  goal  for  S.A.C.  and  so  broke  the  tie.  Sabiston  got  the 
only  penalty  in  this  period. 

When  the  third  period  rolled  around  the  score  was  3-2  for  S.A.C.  and 
both  teams  were  determined  to  increase  their  score.  This  was  one  of  the 
fastest  periods  either  team  had  played  all  year.  The  Saints  finally  over- 
threw the  strong  Lakefield  attack  b}'  scoring  4  more  goals,  rapped  in  by 
Robertson,  MacMillan  and  Brickenden.  Roberts  and  Arnoldy  also  scored 
for  Lakefield.     St.  Andrew's  ended  up  with  a  final  score  of  7-4. 

The  line-ups  were : 

For  St.  Andrew's — Goal,  Robson ;  defence,  Sillinian  and  McPherson ;

Ih  the  first  period  the  play  was  very  evenly  contested,  both  teams  mak-

2  penalties  and  St.  Andrew's  one. 

Sabiston  tied  up  the  score  at  the  first  of  the  third  period,  making  it  2-2.

On  Wecdnesday.  March  5th,  the  St.  Andrew's  team  went  down  to 
Toronto  to  play  U.T.S.  in  Varsity  Arena.  There  was  some  excellent  fast 
hockey  in  this  close  game  which  the  1-1  score  indicates.  Due  to  time  the

THIS  year  has  shown  the  greatest  enthusiasm  for  skiing  at  St.  Andrew's. 
The  School  was  represented  for  the  first  time  at  the  Bethany  Ski- 
meet  and  although  no  actual  prizes  were  won  we  succeeded  in  making  a 
good  showing.  Frequent  trips  were  arranged  every  Wednesday,  Saturday 
and  Sunday  in  the  School  truck  to  Summit  Ski  Club  and  were  m.uch  appre- 
ciated. Refreshments  were  obtained  at  the  club-house  and  "half-way" 
after  a  strenuous  tramp  over  the  trails.  Many  Andreans  noticed  members 
from  B.S.S.,  Havergal.  and  Branksome.  but  found  little  time  or  energy  to 
spare  on  the  fair  sex  (as  far  as  we  can  tell).  There  were  no  serious 
accidents  except  for  Graham  breaking  a  small  tree  on  "poison-ivy"  and 
Cody  breaking  his  skiis  on  '999".  People  seemed  to  be  sprawled  over  the 
track  when  Hunter  and  Stobie  rushed  around  a  hidden  turn  ;  luckily  they 
escaped  with  nothing  but  unkindly  thoughts.  This  matter  of  blind  turns 
and  sprawling  people  has  been  taken  up  with  the  proper  authorities.  In 
spite  of  all  this  confusion  we  had  an  excellent  skiing  season. 

The  skiers  wish  to  thank  the  School  for  the  support  they  have  shown 
this  year,  and  although  we  have  to  shovel  the  rinks  to  make  up  for  this 
privilege  we  hope  it  will  continue  next  year.  We  hope  that  we  may  have 
the  opportunity  next  year  to  ski  at  night  at  Summit.

The  Ski  Race 

The  annual  Ski  Race  took  place  on  \\ednesday.  January  22nd.  over  a 
slow  course  in  rather  mild  weather.  At  two  o'clock  sharp,  the  starter  and 
timers  sent  off  the  competitors  over  the  difficult  course  that  included  steep 
up-hill  tracks,  tricky  down-hill  trails  and  strenuous  straightaways. 

Ballon  I  after  starting  well  back,  soon  took  the  lead  on  the  first  hill, 
emerging  into  first  place  as  he  passed  his  brother.  The  latter,  as  well  as 
Roscoe.  were  both  hampered  by  harness  trouble.  Ballon  I  kept  increasing 
his  lead  throughout  the  race,  and  finished  over  three  minutes  ahead  of 
Roscoe,  who  took  second  place.  The  time  of  the  winner.  Ed.  Ballon,  was 
51  minutes  and  28  seconds,  a  couple  of  minutes  over  the  school  record.  He 
received  the  Rowell  Trophy  as  Senior  Champion  and  also  won  the  Snively 
Cup.  presented  to  the  Handicap  winner.  Roscoe  was  second  in  the  open 
event  and  Ian  Ballon  tied  him  for  second  in  the  Handicap  Race  in  which 
Fraser  H.  Lightbourne  and  Kilgour  came  fourth,  fifth  and  sixth 
respectively.

T  is  hard  to  believe  that  we  have  come  to  the  end  of  another  School  year. 

It  seems  that  it  was  only  yesterday  that  we  were  trying  to  remember  j 
the  names  of  new  boys.  But  now  they  are  part  of  the  School  life.  Indeed, 
it  seems  that  you  have  known  them  for  a  good  bit  longer  than  only  one 
year!  As  we  look  back,  we  feel  that  the  year  has  been  a  fine  one  in  all 
respects.  Every  boy  in  the  House  has  taken  his  part  in  the  various  sports 
and  hobbies.  Under  the  direction  of  Mr.  Ouchterlony,  music  has  pro- 
gressed, and  many  boys  are  learning  how  to  play  the  piano.  We  are  looking 
forward  to  another  good  year  and  we  feel  confident  that  our  teams  will 
maintain,  or  even  surpass,  the  high  standard  that  was  set  this  year.

The  library  enjoyed  a  busy  year.  Over  three  hundred  and  fifty  books 
were  taken  out  while  books  by  Westerman,  T.  T.  Jeans  and  Lt.-Col. 
Brerton  were  donated.  Although  there  has  been  an  increase  in  the  amount 
of  Westerman  books  read,  there  has  been  a  great  variety  in  reading,  includ- 
ing those  of  such  writers  as  Sabatini,  Buchan.  Dumas,  Ballantyne  and 
Cooper.  Books  were  read  to  the  greatest  extent  during  March  when 
seventy-five  books  were  taken  out.  Altogether,  the  library  has  played  its 
part  in  another  successful  school  year.

Ideal  skiing  conditions  made  possible  a  very  successful  annual  ski  race. 
The  first  six  contestants  broke  last  year's  new  record,  Beverly  winning  for 
the  third  successive  time  with  the  excellent  speed  of  31  minutes  and  Z? 
seconds.  Crombie  came  in  second,  only  18  seconds  behind  Beverly.  Gar- 
ratt  II  following  to  take  third  place.  Skiing  seems  to  be  progressing,  con- 
sidering that  a  few  years  ago  the  fastest  time  ever  made  on  the  course  was 
just  under  38  minutes.

This  year  Macdonald  House  showed  excellent  enthusiasm  in  the  boxing 
and  there  were  many  exceptionally  good  fights.  The  youngest  member  of 
the  House  never  seemed  to  get  tired  and  kept  hitting  every  second  of  the 
rounds.  Much  credit,  however,  must  be  given  to  the  older  boys,  who,  for 
the  most  part,  showed  excellent  style  and  very  good  all-round  boxing.

former  master  back  to  the  School,  especially  a  master  who  will  always  be

The  pool  has  been  very  popular  during  the  year.  In  fact  there  are 
some  bovs  who  would  rather  swim  than  eat  or  sleep.  Thirteen  members 
of  the  House  have  won  life  saving  awards  this  year.  Five  having  won  their 
Bronze  Medallions.  One  boy,  Wynne,  won  the  much  credit  bar  to  his 
bronze,  and  thanks  are  due  to  Mr.  Griffiths  and  his  recently  formed  Pool 
Patrols  who  have  given  much  of  their  time  to  the  teaching  of  swimming 

and  life  saving.

Now  that  the  holidays  are  looming  up  in  the  not-too-distant  future  we 
look  forward  to  the  happy,  summer  days  of  leisure ;  but  are  they  to  be  days 
of  leisure  ?  To  be  sure  they  will  be  happy  ones.  Can  we  as  part  of  a  great 
democratic  empire,  fighting  for  its  freedom,  afford  to  spend  the  summer  in 
ease?  Of  course  the  majority  of  the  House  will  spend  a  carefree  summer 
as  young  boys  are  not  expected,  as  in  Germany,  to  enter  Nazi  Youth 
Camps.  However,  we  sincerely  hope  that  all  the  senior  boys  in  the  House 
will  spend  the  greater  part  of  the  holidays  helping  the  farmers  of  this  coun- 
try produce  food  to  feed  the  heroic  citizens  of  Britain. 


The    Macdonald    House    Plays 

MACDONALD  HOUSE  presented  two  plays  this  year,  both  of  which 
were  one-act  performances.  The  first  of  these  was  the  Monkey's 
Pazv.  It  was  one  of  those  gruesome  plays,  not  only,  involving  real  tragedy, 
but  also,  a  ghastly  stretching  of  the  imagination.  For  entertainment  pur- 
poses it  was  unsuited  to  production  in  a  school.  For  purposes  of  acting 
it  was  wisely  chosen,  and  was  well  directed  and  well  cast.  It  was  acted 
well  enough  to  leave  a  deep  impression,  which  is  one  of  the  goals  of  the 
actor. 

The  scene  was  the  living  room  of  Mr.  and  Mrs.  White's  house.  The 
occupants  were  an  elderly  couple  whose  son  worked  in  a  factory.  Rapmund 
took  the  part  of  Mrs.  \\'hite.  and  acted  well.  He  really  gave  the  impres- 
sion of  a  sorrowing  and  bereaved  mother.  His  acting  since  last  year  has 
improved  immensely.  Crombie  had  the  rather  difficult  part  of  Mr.  White ; 
a  man's  distress  is  sometimes  more  difficult  to  express  than  that  of  a  woman. 
Beverly,  as  Herbert,  the  son,  suited  well  a  part  which  required  little  acting. 
Park,  as  Sergeant-Major  Morris,  was  very  much  himself.     He  could  have 


Sl  y^ndrew's  College  Review  95 

put  himself  more  into  the  part,  and  he  could  have  told  the  gruesome  story 
a  little  less  casually.  In  this  play  the  scenery  was  simple  and  gave  the 
impression  of  part  of  the  small  cottage  in  which  two  such  people  as  Mr. 
and  Mrs.  White  would  live. 

The  other  ])lay  performed  was  the  End  uj  flic  Beginning,  by  Sean 
O'Casey.  It  was  a  farcical  mockery  of  the  uselessness  of  a  man  at  house- 
hold duties.  Of  course,  the  scene  was  Irish ;  an  oddly  built  Irish  cottage, 
the  living-room  of  which  served  as  dining-room,  kitchen,  library  and  music- 
room. 

Jones  ])ut  himself  over  as  an  Irish  biddy  with  a  good  Welsh  accent.  He 
played  the  housewife  well,  but  did  not  act  quite  old  enough.  Kennedy 
took  the  part  of  Darry,  the  man  of  the  house  who  turned  house-maid. 
Kennedy  put  the  play  across.  In  fact,  he  overacted  a  part  which  required, 
instead  of  pathos  and  bliss,  the  fears  and  delights  of  a  middle  aged  Irish 
peasant.  Eddis  played  Barry.  Carry's  studious  and  clumsy  partner  at  the 
village  "concert".  He  played  his  role  well  and  convincingly ;  he  is  worthy 
of  much  praise  for  his  conscientious  care  of  properties  and  helping  of  his 
fellow  on  the  stage. 

For  this  last  play  there  were  numerous  properties.  Outstanding  were 
the  authentic-looking  sky  (for  whose  illumination  we  are  indebted  to 
Heintzman),  the  "Biggar-Badger"  pump,  from  which  flowed  real  water, 
and  an  Ouchterlony  chicken.  Potatoes,  dishes,  a  phonograph  record  and 
an  imaginary  cow  on  a  strong  rope,  added  to  the  scene  of  chaos  for  which 
the  scene  called.  We  cannot  omit  to  mention  the  angry  clock,  whose 
internal  rumblings  were  so  terrifying  to  Darry.  Mr.  Tottenham  effected 
some  miraculous  changes  of  make-up  off-stage.  The  shift  between  the 
first  and  second  plays  was  carried  out  in  good  time,  thanks  to  the  stage 
manager  and  his  assistants. 

Our  one  regret  is  the  unfortunate  attitude  of  the  School  when  required 
to  be  an  audience — an  attitude  of  restlessness  and  thoughtlessness  for  those 
on  the  stage.  This  attitude  was  marked  at  the  performance  of  The  Bat, 
and  persisted  at  the  performance  of  the  Monkey's  Pazv.  Everybody  hopes 
that  this  attitude  will  be  revised  next  year. 

The  Lower  School  plays  this  year  w^re  both  put  over  well — I  have 
heard  no  word  to  the  contrary  and  there  would  be  no  excuse  for  such  a 
condemnation  ;  Mr.  Ives  is  owed  praise  in  this  respect.  His  directing  of  the 
Monkex's  Pazv  made  it  acceptable  for  its  acting.  He  and  those  who  worked 
with  him — actors  or  assistants — have  definitely  contributed  to  the  dramatics 
at  Saint  Andrew's.

The  Unfortunate  Cow-Punchers 

Two  boys  went  out  to  hike  one  day, 
Their  spirits  were  quite  high. 
The  bees  were  flying  through  the  air, 
The  birds  were  in  the  sky. 

They  tramped  ak:)ng  for  quite  some  time, 
Past  road  and  ditch  and  creek. 
Till  coming  to  a  hilly  spot, 
They  quickly  gained  the  peak. 

Such  a  view  they  ne'er  had  seen. 
In  all  their  short  young  life. 
The  horizon  swept  beyond  them  far. 
Its  edge  was  like  a  knife. 

"What  shall  we  do?"  the  younger  asked. 
"The  sight  is  so  sublime." 
"Let's  chase  those  cows,"  replied  his  friend, 
"We  still  have  lots  of  time." 


The  boys  raced  wildly  for  the  place, 
Where  they  could  have  their  fun. 
But  failed  to  see  another  pair. 
The  farmer  and  his  son. 

They  ran  straight  at  the  browsing  herd, 
With  shouts  to  chase  them  off 
And  raced  across  the  grassy  field. 
Till  one  began  to  cough. 

The  other  stopped  and  then  perceived. 
The  farmer  coming  near. 
He  warned  his  comrade  with  a  yell. 
And  left  the  field  in  fear. 

But  plowing  fields,  and  stacking  wheat, 
Can  make  a  farmer  strong. 
He  overtook  the  two  young  boys, 
Whose  legs  were  not  as  long. 


St.  Andrew's  College  Review  97 

He  dragged  tlie  culprits  to  the  school, 
And  showed  them  to  the  Head. 
He  then  explained  the  dreadful  deed, 
And  many  things  were  said. 

The  punishment  was  short  and  hard. 

As  soon  the  two  boys  learned. 

But  if  they  hadn't  chased  the  cows, 

The  pain  they'd  not  have  earned.     \i.  Campbell,  Lower  H.

Model  Plane  Building 


k   i  ODEL  aeroplane  building  is  very  interesting.     It  presents  many  hard 
' "  •   and  trying  problems,  but  still,  it  is  interesting. 

Some  people  find  difficulty  in  putting  on  the  paper  fabric,  others  find 
the  landing  gear  a  problem.  But  when  you  have  built  a  few  planes  such 
difficulties  only  add  to  your  interest  and  make  you  all  the  more  eager  to 
finish. 

Part  of  the  fun  is  in  looking  forward  to  the  speed  and  distance  records 
that  each  new  plane  is  going  to.  make.  The  moment  it  is  finished  you  shoot 
it  off  by  hand — only  to  have  it  fall  to  the  ground  in  pieces.  It  is  then  that 
you  wake  up  to  the  fact  that  in  your  impatience  to  take  off  you  have  for- 
gotten the  stabilizers.  If  you  have  learned  your  lesson  you  will  fix  up  your 
plane  again  with  greater  care,  and  when  you  attempt  another  flight  you 
may  have  the  thrill  of  seeing  your  dreams  come  true. 

If  anyone  wants  to  train  his  nerves  and  overcome  impatience  I  strongly 
advise  him  to  build  some  model  aeroplanes.

Encounter  with  a  Werewolf 

As  the  clock  struck  midnight,  I  glanced  up  from  the  book  I  was  reading 
to  look  at  my  dog,  which  was  lying  at  my  feet.  Blinking  his  eyes, 
he  hit  the  carpet  with  his  wagging  tail.  How  silly  of  me  !  It  was  my  old 
fear  returning.  Yet  I  shouldn't  after  three  years,  and  besides,  it  is  a  man 
that  can  be  a  werewolf,  and  not  a  dog. 

I  never  believed  that  werewolves  existed,  and  I  imagine  I  wouldn't  now, 
had  it  not  been  for  the  experience  I  had  in  a  small  village  in  Southern 
France.  The  superstitious  people  had  a  legend  about  a  werewolf,  which, 
they  assured  me,  was  quite  true. 

It  seems  that  a  voodoo  priest,  condenmed  to  be  hanged  for  making  a 
human  sacrifice,  threatened  that  his  spirit  would  return  as  a  werewolf,  and 
that,  although  in  the  daytime  he  would  be  a  natural  person,  from  midnight 
till  dawn  he  would  be  a  vicious  werewolf,  roaming  mercilessly  around  the 
district,  killing  brutally  anyone  he  met. 

I  ridiculed  this  tale,  but  a  certain  peasant  in  the  inn  told  me  an  incident 
which,  if  true,  confirmed  it :  one  night  as  he  was  watching  the  graveyard 
from  a  nearby  house  he  saw  a  man  enter ;  as  the  church  bell  nearby  toll'd 
the  hour  of  midnight,  the  man  in  the  graveyard  turned  into  a  werewolf. 
The  manner  in  which  the  peasant  told  this  story  would  have  made  me 
believe  him,  had  it  not  been  that  I  didn't  believe  werewolves  existed.  He 
assured  me  again,  telling  me  that  many  had  been  mangled  to  death  by  this 
terrible  Loiip-Garou.  I  told  him  that  if  I  ever  had  time,  he  could  show  me 
his  beast.  After  some  hesitation  he  accepted,  saying  the  werewolf  didn't 
have  enough  will-power  to  attack  two  people. 

I  went  to  my  room — a  fair-sized  room  on  the  ground  floor  with  a 
veranda  opening  to  the  back  where  was  the  inn's  vineyard.  .A.s  I  was  about 
to  retire  for  the  night,  the  landlord  came  in  to  see  if  there  was  anything 
he  could  do  for  me.  I  replied  that  I  had  everything,  but  wondered  why 
there  was  some  weed  over  the  door.  He  told  me  it  was  some  wolf's-bane 
to  keep  the  werewolf  out. 

Lying  awake  thinking  of  what  I  had  heard  about  the  werewolf,  I  never 
realized  what  time  it  was  until  I  heard  a  church  bell  strike  twelve.  Now 
the  werewolf  was  roaming — of  all  the  silly  superstitious  nonsense  !  Nothing 
happened.  Once  I  heard  a  howl — not  that  of  a  moon-sick  dog,  but  a  deep 
blood-thirsty  one.  I  was  thinking  of  when  I  would  leave  for  Bordeaux 
when  I  was  brought  to  my  senses  by  a  padded  foot-fall  on  the  veranda.  I 
sat  up  sufficiently  to  watch  the  open  door.  A  large  dark  beast  was  coming 
towards  it.  On  the  threshold  it  stopped,  and  I  noticed  two  luminous  eyes. 
A  set  of  long  ivory-white  fangs  appeared,  and  then  the  animal  turned,  and 
disappeared  in  the  vineyard. 


Sl  Andrew's  College  Review  99 

I  remember  awakening  the  next  morning  with  the  feeling  that  some- 
thing was  wrong.  I  went  out  for  a  walk,  and,  passing  by  the  church,  I 
decided  to  go  in  to  talk  with  the  ])riest,  with  whom  I  had  made  an 
acquaintance  the  day  before.  When  he  asked  me  if  the  werewolf  was  worry- 
ing me,  I  remembered  the  incident  of  the  night,  and  told  it  all  to  him.  He 
said  that  the  wolf's-bane  had  saved  me.  But  fearing  lest  I  should  meet  the 
werewolf  again,  he  gave  me  some  holy  water  in  a  bottle.  He  assured  me 
that  if  I  used  it  right  it  would  protect  me. 

That  evening  after  supper  I  met  the  peasant  who  had  seen  the  wolf  and 
I  told  him  how  I  had  seen  it  too.  It  seemed  that  the  incident  made  us  life- 
long friends,  and,  before  I  knew  what  I  was  doing,  it  was  arranged  that  we 
should  go  hunting  for  the  werewolf. 

A  full  moon  reflecting  on  the  tombstones  made  it  possible  to  see  as  we 
waited  for  midnight.  I  was  toying  with  the  bottle  in  my  pocket,  indeed.  I 
believe  I  had  it  in  my  hands,  when  the  old  church  bell  struck  twelve  o'clock. 
Nothing  happened.  Uttering  a  nervous  laugh,  I  turned  to  make  a  remark 
to  my  companion.  There,  to  my  horror,  crouched  on  all  fours,  with  glim- 
mering eyes  and  sharp  long  fangs  was  the  monstrous  black  werewolf.  I 
was  too  terrified  to  move.  I  no  longer  had  control  over  my  body.  I  would 
haAC  cried  out,  but  my  tongue  clove  to  the  roof  of  my  mouth.  Just  as  the 
brute  sprang  I  half-heartedly  threw  the  bottle  in  his  direction.  What 
happened  then  I  still  cannot  explain  or  clarify. 

There  was  a  sound  of  breaking  glass  followed  by  a  burst  of  white  smoke 
from  the  werewolf.  As  the  smoke  increased  the  beast  gradually  disappeared. 
Then  in  the  smoke  I  saw  a  black  man  gazing  fixedly  upwards,  an  expres- 
sion of  fear  upon  his  face.  As  the  spectacle  faded,  I  fell  to  the  ground.  By 
the  lo--^'.  wailing,  half-brute,  half-human  cry  that  followed,  1  could  tell  that 
the  evil  spirit  would  exist  no  longer  on  this  earth.

Adventures  on  the  Atlantic 

/^  XE  day  in  November.  I  set  sail  on  the  Furness  Bermuda  Line's  luxury 
^*^  liner.  The  Queen  of  Bermuda.  The  voyage  was  between  Bermuda 
and  New  ^'ork. 

It  was  about  twelve  noon  on  the  first  day  out  when  we  saw  smoke  on 
the  horizon,  and  a  British  light  crusier  was  lying  in  wait  for  something.  A 
few  minutes  later  we  heard  a  loud  explosion.  The  smoke  got  heavier  and 
as  we  drew  nearer,  we  saw  that  the  smoke  came  from  the  German  liner, 
Columbus.  We  reversed  engines  and  soon  came  to  a  standstill.  After  a 
minute  or  so,  we  started  lowering  lifeboats  to  pick  up  the  survivors  of  the 


loo  St.  Andrew's  College  Review 

burning  ship.  \\'hile  the  boat  crews  were  picking  up  the  survivors  the  res't 
of  the  crew  tried  to  put  the  fire  out.  But  it  was  in  "vain.  We  picked  up 
92  sailors  from  the  German  ship  while  the  cruiser  picked  up  44.  A  few 
seconds  later  the  hull  began  to  crack  and  loud  explosions  were  heard  from 
the  fuel  supply. 

Later  we  found  out  that  the  cruiser  did  not  shoot  any  shells  but  that 
the  crew  had  scuttled  the  Columbus. 

In  the  middle  of  the  second  day,  the  sea  began  to  heave  and  nearly 
everyone  was  sea  sick. 

At  night  when  I  went  down  to  dinner,  I  was  greeted  by  a  strange  sight. 
There  were  about  five  tables  on  and  the  rest  were  tied  down  by  ropes. 
At  each  table  there  were  about  four  people,  and  every  time  the  boat  lurched 
the  people  would  grab  hold  of  the  table  and  slide  all  over  the  room.  When 
the  boat  righted  itself  again  the  waiters  would  dash  in  with  the  food  and 
then  back  to  the  nearest  rail. 

After  dinner  I  went  to  my  cabin  where  I  spent  the  rest  of  the  night. 
As  I  was  going  to  bed,  I  noticed  that  there  was  a  noise  of  water  pouring 
in,  so  I  looked  at  my  porthole  and  found  that  the  waves  had  broken  the 
latch.  I  rang  for  the  steward  and  when  he  came  I  was  almost  swimming 
in  two  or  three  feet  of  water !  He  opened  the  door  and  a  rush  of  water 
met  him.  Then  I  was  able  to  set  my  feet  on  the  floor  with  only  a  quarter 
of  an  inch  of  w^ater  on  it. 

Two  days  behind  schedule,  we  arrived  in  New  York  harbour  leaning 
to  starboard  because  the  cargo  had  shifted  during  the  storm.  In  spite  of 
all  our  experiences  on  the  rough  seas,  we  had  arrived  safely.

Freedom  by  merry  England's  laws.

But  one  made  up  of  rich  brown  soil, 
And  yet  her  sons  in  war  must  toil. 

Fair  fields  of  wheat  and  corn  and  rye.

Three  Runs— Not  Out 

IMAGINE  yourself  about  to  bat  in  a  game  of  Cricket.  You  know 
nothing  of  the  game  except  the  barest  fundamentals;  which  everyone 
has  been  hammering  into  you ;  and  in  the  excitement  you  can't  remember 
half  of  those.  On  top  of  this  imagine  that  you  and  the  other  batsmen  have 
to  get  five  runs  to  win  the  game.  For  this  was  the  position  of  one  James 
Henderson.  Now  imagine  you  are  at  the  edge  of  a  large  green  Cricket 
field,  bordered  by  trees,  where  this  game  is  in  progress,  and  that  you  are 
able  to  read  Henderson's  mind.     Perhaps  this  is  what  you  would  find. 

"Howzat?" 

"Out  L.B.W." 

I  guess  that  means  I'm  in.  What  is  it  I  say,  "Middle  and  Wicket?" 
That  couldn't  be  right  maybe  its  "Middle  and  Wide."     Yes,  it  must  be. 

"You  forgot  your  bat"  somebody  yells. 

Oh  !  yes,  how  stupid  of  me !     I  can't  play  cricket  without  a  bat,  can  I  ? 

"Good  luck."  savs  the  outcoming  batter.  "Oh — thank  you,  I'll  need 
it,"  was  my  reply.  Boy,  you  get  lots  of  attention  around  here,  everybodys 
clapping  me.     Here  comes  another  fellow  to  meet  me,  must  be  the  batter. 

"Watch  that  small-bowler's  ofif-balls  and  that  tall  fellow's  a  fiend  with 
full-pitches.  You'd  better  stone-wall  most  of  the  time,"  advises  my  fellow- 
batter. 

"Oh.  yes,"  said  I.  trying  to  look  wise.  W'hat  on  earth  does  he  mean 
by  ofif-balls  and  stone- walling  ?    Well,  at  least  I  know  what  a  full-pitch  is. 

Oh!  here  I  am  at  the  wicket.  Now,  what  do  I  do?  That  fellow  in  the 
white  coat  looks  annoyed. 

"A\V11,  what  do  you  want?"  he  yells. 

"Who,  me?"    What  .  .  .  Oh,  yes  ...  a  middle  .  .  .  an  .  .  . 

"Middle,  it  is." 

Boy,  I'm  glad  I  kept  my  mouth  shut  then.  Well,  here  comes  the  first 
ball.     How  do  you  stone-wall?     Guess  I'll  swing  and  hope  for  the  best. 

"Whack !" 

"Come  on!  Quick!"  somebody  yells. 

Well,  there's  one  run.  I  guess  I  just  stand  here  while  that  other  fellow 
bats.     Boy,  that  was  a  nice  swing  I  think  I'll  try  it  next  time

"Run,  run,  you  idiot,  or  you'll  l>e  out." 

Boy,  that  was  a  close  shave.     I  guess  I  should  have  started  sooner. 

Well,  here  comes  my  second  ball. 

"No  Ball  !"• 

"Hey  what?"  There  go  my  bails,  I  got  one  run  anyway.  Sadly,  I 
start  to  walk  away  from  the  pitch. 

"You're  not  out."  somebody  yells,  "that  ball  didn't  count." 

Boy  that's  good,  here  goes  for  another  try.  Ah!  a  nice  easy  ball.  I'll 
smack  this  over  those  trees  .  .  .  why  there  must  be  a  hole  in  the  bat  .  .  . 
I  missed  that  ball  altogether  .  .  .  musn't  do  that  again  .  .  . 

"Over." 

\Miat  on  earth  do  I  do  now?  Everybody's  moving  around.  What's 
the  other  batter  doing?  Oh,  he  must  be  getting  ready  to  bat.  I  guess  I'll 
just  stand  here.  "Will  you  move  over,  please."  somebody  says.  "Oh! 
yes,  of  course."  Boy.  they  won't  fool  me  this  time.  I'm  going  to  get  a  lead- 
off.  Oh  gosh  he  missed  it.  ^^'hew !  that  was  a  close  shave.  I  guess  you 
can  take  too  much  of  a  start. 

Boy !  that  was  a  nice  shot.  I've  got  to  get  one  run  and  we'll  have  won  ! 
boy,  I  can't  miss.  Here  it  comes,  "Whack",  gosh  it's  a  fly.  he's  going  to 
catch  it.     No,  it  went  right  through  his  fingers.     We've  won ! 

Now,  its  his  turn,  why — he's  out.  We've  won  anyway  and  I  got  three

The  Test 

The  chestnut  tree  upon  the  hill, 
Which  stood  through  wind  and  rain. 
One  stormy  night  was  earthward  blown 
And  never  stood  again. 

Upon  that  stormy  windswept  hill 

A  poplar  stood  this  test, 

Although  it  creaked  and  bent  and  bowed. 

It  stood,  and  proved  the  best. 

On  that  same  night  through  wind  and  rain 
A  mighty  pine  did  stand. 
The  wind  and  rain  who  broke  its  boughs. 
Still  blows  to  beat  the  band. 

And  so  you  see  from  all  these  trees 
The  one  which  is  the  best 
Doth  bow  and  creak  and  downward  bend 
And  usually  stands  the  test.

MACDONALD  HOUSE  HOCKEY  TEAM 

Front   Row — G.   L.    Rapmund,   C.    H.    Heintznian,    L.    S.    O' Brian,    F.    A.    Mackenzie,

Mr.   Ives.   Coach. 

IN  the  Winter  Term,  all  the  boys  in  the  House  were  divided  into  four 
groups.  The  First  Hockey  Squad  of  about  eighteen  boys  contained  all 
the  best  players ;  the  Second  Squad  had  about  the  next  eighteen  boys  who 
were  either  too  small  or  lacked  sufificient  skill  to  belong  to  the  First  Squad ; 
the  Beginners  Squad  was  composed  of  the  real  learners  who  spent  a  goodly 
portion  of  their  time  either  sitting  down  on  the  ice  or  hanging  on  to  the 
boards  at  the  side  of  the  rink ;  and  lastly,  there  were  a  few  boys  who,  for 
special  reasons,  were  given  permission  to  ski  as  their  major  sport. 

The  First  Squad  was  very  lucky  in  being  able  to  arrange  six  games 
with  the  Aurora  Public  School.  These  games  were  all  enjoyed  very  much. 
The  Aurora  boys  certainly  showed  us  what  determination  and  pep  can  do 
in  a  hockey  game.  Time  after  time  we  found  that  we  were  simply  not  fast 
enough,  that  we  lacked  the  extra  little  bit  of  speed  which  makes  all  the 
difference  between  a  goal  and  just  another  attempt.  We  would  like  to 
thank  Aurora  for  these  games  and  to  congratulate  Sutton,  in  particular, 
on  his  fine  exhibitions  of  skating  and  stick  handling  against  us. 


I04  Si-  A?idrew's  College  Review 

Our  First  Team  played  two  games  with  a  Lakefield  Preparatory  School 
team — winning  at  home  by  5-2  and  losing  away  by  1-2.  Both  these  games 
were  very  keenly  contested.  Lakefield  played  a  good,  clean  game  on  both 
occasions  and  had  the  best  of  the  play  except  during  the  last  period  of  the 
first  game.  Our  team  was  strengthened  for  these  games  by  the  addition 
of  Ballon  II  who  played  d-efence  for  us.  The  team  centainly  missed  Ballon 
during  the  hockey  season  for  he  had  been  a  tower  of  strength  to  us  in  our 
rugbv  team.  \\\'nne  and  Garratt  were  our  most  efifective  forwards.  How- 
ever, the  trip  to  Lakefield  will  long  be  remembered  after  the  scores  of  the 
games  have  been  forgotten.  The  journey  from  S.A.C.  to  Lakefield  actually 
took  us  eight  hours.  Many  times  our  big  thirty-two  passenger  bus  became 
stuck  fast  in  the  snow  drifts  and  was  only  re-started  after  long  periods  of 
jjushing  by  all  the  Upper  School  boys  we  had  with  us  on  the  trip.  At  Lake- 
field,  we  played  a  very  short  game  and  started  homewards  at  a  late  hour. 
\\^e  battled  through  many  snow-drifts  between  Peterborough  and  Port 
Hope  and.  upon  arriving  at  the  latter  place,  we  discovered  that  the  main 
Toronto  Highway  was  unpassable.  At  about  midnight,  we  asked  Trinity 
College  School  if  they  could  put  us  up  for  the  night.  Although  they  already 
had  some  other  teams,  which  had  been  stranded  like  ourselves,  they  at  once 
generously  ofifered  to  let  us  stay  in  the  Junior  School.  By  the  small  hours 
of  the  morning,  we  were  all  settled  down  for  the  night,  either  on  the  floor 
of  the  gym  or  of  a  spare  dormitory.  Lucky  indeed  were  the  boys  who  got 
a  bed  in  the  Junior  School  Infirmary.  The  next  day,  T.C.S.  entertained 
us  to  breakfast  and  lunch.  Thanks  once  again  T.C.S.  for  yoiu'  hospitality 
and  kindness. 

A  week  after  this  surprise  visit,  we  returned  under  normal  circumstances 
to  play  a  game  with  their  Littleside  team.  We  managed  to  win  a  very  well 
contested  game  by  the  score  of  3-0.  T.C.S.  were  certainly  unlucky  not 
to  score  as  their  ganging  attack  had  us  hemmed  in  throughout  long  periods 
of  the  game,  ^^'ynne  starred  for  S.A.C,  getting  two  goals  and  an  assist. 
When  T.C.S.  visited  us  the  game  and  score  were  very  similar.  We  managed 
to  win  3-1,  but  our  visitors  seemed  to  have  fully  fifty  per  cent  of  the  play. 
We  owned  most  of  our  success  in  both  these  games  to  the  good  goal -keeping 
by  O'Brian,  the  consistent  defence  of  Kennedy  and  the  speedy  break  aways 
of  Wynne.  Garratt  and  McKenzie. 

One  of  our  last  games  of  the  season  was  against  a  team  of  boys  from 
Christ  Church  in  Toronto.  From  the  beginning,  the  game  was  played  with 
a  great  deal  of  spirits.  The  final  score  was  3-2  for  S.A.C.  Kennedy,  who 
had  played  for  Christ  Church  the  previous  year,  was  our  most  efifective 
player.  Many  times  his  determined  checking  saved  our  goal  keeper  from 
having  to  deal  with  really  hard  shots.  In  the  attack  too,  he  played  an  impor- 
tant part,  getting  one  goal  and  an  assist. 


Si.  Andrew's  College  Review  105 

The  V'wsX  Hockey  Team  ended  the  season  with  tlie  very  fair  record  of 
Iiaving  won  six  games  out  of  eight  played.  The  team  showed  jilenty  of 
spirit  which  was  most  clearly  demonstrated  in  the  game  against  Lakefield 
when  we  overcame  a  two  goal-  deficit  at  the  beginning  of  the  last  ])erio(l. 
Macdonald  House  hockey  colours  were  presented  to  the  following : — 
Davis  III.  Garratt  II,  Heintzman,  Kennedy.  McKenzie  II,  O'Rrian  111, 
Rapmund  and  Wynne.  Throughout  the  season,  both  Davis  and  Rapmund 
played  a  very  enthusiastic  game,  they  worked  hard  but  lacked  weight  and 
consequently  were  not  as  efifective  in  front  of  the  net  as  they  should  have 
been.  Garratt  is  an  outstanding  skater  and  should  go  far  in  hockey  if  he 
learns  not  to  be  afraid  of  body  checks  and  to  pass  the  puck  at  the  right 
moment.  Heintzman  played  a  fair  game  at  defence.  He  is  a  little  slow 
and  must  improve  his  stick  handling.  Kennedy,  our  other  defence  man, 
was  one  of  the  most  valuable  players  on  the  team.  Time  and  time  again,  he 
broke  up  attacks  and  was  fast  enough  to  make  many  spectacular  recoveries. 
McKenzie  can  skate  and  stick  handle  very  well  but  suffers  from  a  tendency 
to  quit  trying  after  a  couple  of  body  checks.  O'Brian  III  in  goal  played 
a  good  game  but  was  lucky  to  have  Kennedy  at  defence  in  front  of  him. 
Wynne  is  probably  our  best  all  round  player.  He  not  only  led  one  of  the 
forward  lines  very  effectively  but  also  was  often  called  upon  to  play  defence 
at  a  critical  moment.  Mention  also  should  be  made  of  Park  and  Medland. 
Park  improved  as  the  season  progressed  and,  with  more  practice,  should 
make  a  good  hockey  player.  Medland,  who  was  handicapped  by  a  sprained 
ankle,  lacks  weight  and  speed  but  plays  a  good  game. 

Two  games  were  played  against  Crescent  School.  Our  team  was  com- 
posed of  the  smaller  boys  from  the  First  Squad  and  the  better  players  from 
the  Second  Squad.  Crescent  School  was  hardly  up  to  it^  usual  standard 
and  we  managed  to  win  both  games.  The  outstanding  plays  of  the  second 
game  were  the  fine  passing  movements  which  were  made  by  the  McKenzie- . 
Rapmund-Davis  line.  The  Second  Squad,  also,  played  an  Aurora  Public 
School  team  which  won  fairly  easily  because  our  boys  could  not  skate  fast 
enough. 

Altogether,  w-e  can  look  back  on  a  most  successful  hockey  season.  Next 
year,  we  should  be  able  to  do  even  better  as  five  out  of  our  eight  colours 
should  be  back  on  our  line-up  for  another  season. 

Credit  for  the  success  of  the  Team  is  due  in  no  small  measure  to  Mr. 
Ives  who  coached  and  encouraged  the  boys  to  put  their  best  into  the  game.

THE  FIRST  SQUAD 

The  House  First  Team  has  played  five  games  during  the  season.  Of 
these  the  team  has  won  four  and  lost  one.  For  the  first  two  games  we 
were  very  unfortunate  in  not  having  our  captain,  Adamson,  on  the  team, 
but  Rapmund  acted  as  captain  very  capably  in  his  place.  Adamson  is  a 
very  good  bowler  with  an  easy  action,  but  did  not  really  do  himself  justice 
until  the  last  game  of  the  season  when  he  took  seven  wickets  for  twelve 
runs.  His  batting  in  the  matches  was  a  little  disappointing  due  to  the  fact 
that  he  is  inclined  to  be  a  little  careless.  He  must  learn  to  play  himself  in 
before  trying  to  hit  every  ball.  His  average  for  the  season  was  43.1,  which 
is  extremely  good.  Rapmund  has  proved  a  very  useful  batsman  and  bowler. 
In  the  first  two  games  his  bowling  was  particularly  good  ;  against  Appleby, 
when  time  was  very  short,  he  actually  took  four  wickets  in  five  balls  !  His 
bowling  average  for  the  season  was  3.5.  \\'ynne's  batting  has  been  steadily 
improving  but  he  must  try  to  swing  his  bat  on  his  defensive  shot  and  not 
merely  poke  at  the  ball.  O'Brian  III  is  still  a  rather  slow  scorer  but  he  has 
some  very  good,  safe  oflF  shots  which  look  quite  professional.     Fletcher  I

and  Hirsh  are  two  new  boys  who  have  proved  a  very  vahiable  addition  to 
the  team.  Both  of  them  have  played  cricket  before  and  both  look  like 
cricketers  when  at  the  wicket.  Garratt  II.  our  only  left-hander,  is  develop- 
ing into  quite  a  batsman.  His  great  effort  at  T.C.S.  when  he  almost  saved 
the  side  from  defeat,  deserves  much  praise.  The  fielding  of  the  team  has 
been  fairly  good  with  the  exception  of  the  away  game  at  T.C.S.  Medland, 
one  of  the  younger  members  of  the  team,  caught  five  catches  during  the 
season  and  Wynne  caught  four.  Fletcher  I  was  perhajw  the  best  fielder 
on  the  team. 

The  following  boys  were  given  their  Macdonald  House  Cricket  Colours  : 
Adamson.  Fletcher  I,  Garratt  II.  Hirsch.  O'Brian  III,  Rapmund  and

all  out.  Top  scorer  for  the  boys  was  Adamson,  with  a  well  played  64  not 
out ;  for  the  Masters.  Mr.  Macrae  made  53,  Mr.  Hewitt  27,  Mr.  Millward 
19  and  Air.  Ives  11  not  out.  This  game  was  very  much  enjoyed  by  both 
teams. 


A  sailor  home  on  short  leave  consulted  a  doctor  about  his  sore  throat. 

The  doctor  advised  gargling  with  salt  and  water. 

"What  again,"  said  the  sailor,  "I've  been  torpedoed  three  times."

Old   Boys'    Mail   Bas 

Deryck  Thomson  expresses  in  a  letter  to  the  Headmaster  what  all  of 
US  feel  about  the  Old  School  in  retrospect. 

"It  has  been  such  a  long  time  since  I  have  visited  the  College  that  I 
thought  I  would  take  this  opportunity  to  write  to  you.  and  learn  of  all  the 
things  which  have  been  happening  during  the  last  year. 

"I  seldom  realized,  while  I  attended  St.  Andrew's,  how  much  it  really 
meant  to  have  that  privilege.  But  it  does  not  take  long  for  that  realization 
to  strike  you  once  you  depart.  I  suppose  many  Old  Boys  write  or  tell  you 
the  same  storv  many  times.  I  think  it  rather  a  pity  that  nuich  of  the  appre- 
ciation comes  to  you  later  and  not  while  at  school.  My  three  years  there 
will  always  remain  the  happiest  of  my  life.  I  am  sure.  Since  I  left.  I  have 
kept  in  contact  with  a  good  many  of  the  friends  I  made  at  school  and  we 
all  agree  on  this  point. 

"Perhaps  you  would  like  to  know  some  of  the  many  things  which  we 
enjoyed  most,  though  doubtless  all  this  is  old  stuff  also.  Of  course,  the 
buildings  and  their  surroundings  are  ideal.  In  fact,  living  in  the  country 
and  being  in  the  open  so  much,  spoils  you  for  city  life  completely.    We  all 


1 24  St.  Andrew's  College  Review 

remember  the  coming  of  spring,  when  we  could  stroll  down  to  the  gates 
on  bright  cool  evenings  after  supper.  Standing  at  the  gates  and  watching 
the  cars  going  along  Yonge  Street,  we  sometimes  thought  it  would  be  nice 
to  be  in  the  city,  but  when  we  looked  across  the  fields,  just  starting  to 
assume  the  luxuriant  green  of  summer,  and  saw  the  sun  going  down  behind 
the  Upper  School,  we  usually  changed  our  minds ! 

"It  wasn't  any  effort  to  arise  in  the  mornings  with  the  sun  streaming 
through  the  windows  (we  don't  seem  to  remember  the  rainy  mornings) 
and  the  flower  beds  around  the  quad,  a  profusion  of  bloom.  The  view  from 
both  front  and  back  of  the  buildings  can't  be  matched  by  any  other  school 
I  have  yet  seen. 

"There  are  other  things  too.  which  we  will  always  remember.  Although 
sometimes  we  might  not  have  shown  it,  some  of  our  happiest  and  most 
peaceful  moments  were  spent  in  the  Chapel.  There  is  an  atmosphere  of 
fellowship  and  understanding,  of  complete  accord  with  all  your  fellows 
which  even  the  youngest  and  the  oldest  senses  after  an  evening  or  a  morn- 
ing spent  in  worship  there.  We  thoroughly  enjoyed  all  the  interesting 
speakers  who  addressed  us  on  Sunday  evenings,  and  the  lovely  strains  of  the 
organ,  played  by  "Pop"  Ross.  Although  carol  service  practices  were  some- 
times attended  with  much  grumbling,  everybody  certainly  gave  his  all 
when  that  auspicious  occasion  finally  arrived.  We  must  have  been  a  great 
worry  to  you  beforehand,  but  your  efforts  w^ere  always  crowned  with  suc- 
cess afterwards. 

"Although  I  failed  to  shine  in  the  classroom  (I'm  speaking  strictly  for 
myself  now)  I  don't  remember  the  bad  moments,  but  only  the  good.  A 
chemical  experiment  in  Goody's  lab.  which  wasn't  in  the  books  and  pro- 
duced a  rather  drastic  result.  Dr.  Robinson  trying  to  instil  the  works  of 
Virgil  into  our  brains  when,  all  the  time,  by  looking  out  the  window,  you 
could  see  the  fields  and  Kirk's  pond  in  the  distance ;  wishing  you  were  free 
to  tear  over  there.  Or  Uncle  Ernie  Fleming,  to  whom  I'll  always  remain 
indebted  for  the  time  and  patience  he  spent  in  strengthening  my  flimsy 
mathematical  grounding,  telling  us  to  THINK  all  the  time.  But  of  course 
the  prime  story  in  our  repertoire  of  schoolboy  experiences  will  always  be 
that  great  pyrotechnical  display,  which  we  tried  to  incorporate  into  an 
annual  event,  but  failed  rather  dismally.  I  think  the  greatest  mass  caning 
on  record  took  place  on  that  night,  and  those  who  participated  and  received 
their  just  deserts,  carried  the  marks  of  misbehaviour  with  a  great  deal  of 
pride  in  the  showers  for  many  days  afterward,  and  were  rather  disappointed 
when  they  began  to  disappear. 

"There  are  hundreds  of  little  incidents  which  we  take  great  delight  in 
recounting  when  we  get  together,  and  some  day  I  hope  they  may  be  col-

lected  in  a  book  pertaining  to  boys  and  boarding  school  life.  Someone 
once  suggested  that  as  a  prime  idea  for  Doctor  Macdonald,  Dr.  Robinson, 
Mr.  Fleming,  Mr.  Findlay,  Mr.  Goodman  and  some  of  the  other  old  timers 
to  follovv\     Such  a  book  certainly  would  be  very  widely  read." 

Yours  sincerely, 

Dervck  Thomson.

S.A.C.  Old  Boy  in  British  Navy   Saves  Two   When 
Ship   Hits   Mine 

Heroism  of  the  auxiliary  fleet  of  the  British  navy  is  told  in  a  letter 
received  by  George  A.  Kingston,  of  Toronto,  from  his  son,  Lieut.  Harold 
Kingston  (S.A.C.  1909-1910).  The  latter  commands  a  ship  in  the  auxiliary 
service  somewhere  otT  the  coast  of  England.  Lieut.  Kingston's  skill  as  a 
swimmer  played  a  notable  part  in  the  rescue  of  Capt.  Morice,  commander 
of  a  similar  boat,  and  his  gunner  when  their  ship  was  blown  to  pieces  upon 
striking  a  mine. 

"The  first  boat,  commanded  by  Capt.  Morice,  was  proceeding  about 
400  yards  ahead  of  our  boat,"  writes  Lieut.  Kingston.  "About  12  miles 
from  shore  the  boat  exploded.  Only  the  debris  was  left  floating  on  the 
waters." 

Proceeding  cautiously  to  the  spot,  Lieut.  Kingston  saw  two  men 
floundering.  Later  it  was  found  that  their  legs  had  been  broken  in  the 
explosion.  Lieut.  Kingston,  w-ith  another  of  his  crew,  jumped  into  the  sea. 
They  had  ropes  fastened  to  them,  and.  despite  the  heavy  sea  running,  were 
able  to  bring  the  two  men  to  safety.  The  other  11  men  of  the  crew  could 
not  be  found.    The  injured  men  are  expected  to  recover. 

Lieut.  Kingston  saw  service  in  the  navy  during  the  last  war.  He  was 
living  in  London  when  the  present  war  came  and  immediately  offered  his 
services  to  the  admiralty. 


We  have  again  heard  from  Bert  Applegath  (1912-21)  : 

'T  wish  to  thank  the  Ladies'  Guild,  the  Old  Boys  and  the  present  School 
for  the  parcel  which  I  received  while  we  were  on  duty  at  the  Coast  last 
week.  It  was  a  "just  right"  parcel — the  boys  got  a  kick  out  of  the  candy 
kisses ;  the  socks  with  the  S.A.C.  colours  sure  have  something,  and  the 
flashlight  was  just  what  I  needed  as  I  had  a  lot  of  night  runs  with  my 
ambulance." 


126  Si.  Andrew's  College  Review 

Denis  Careless  (1921-26)  with  the  R.C.A.S.C.  writes  as  follows: 
"May  I  offer  my  thanks  to  the  Ladies'  Guild,  the  School  and  the  present 
boys  for  the  very  useful  Christmas  parcel.  I  saw  Doug  Lough  the  other 
day  and  he  told  me  that  he  had  received  a  similar  parcel.  As  you  know, 
there  are  a  lot  of  Old  Boys  over  in  this  little  "do"  and  from  news  passed 
around  they  are  all  well  a'nd  living  up  to  our  School  motto.  \\'e  have  not 
as  yet  run  into  any  real  action  but  we  do  have  a  certain  amount  of  bombs 
to  duck  and  some  machine  gunning,  but  on  the  whole  life  is  quite  safe  and 
pleasant.  Our  main  regret  is  leaving  our  families  and  with  the  festive 
season  so  near,  it  brings  home  the  separation  all  the  more. 

Bob  Armstrong   (1922-27)   R.C.H.A. : 

"Thank  you  very  much  for  the  Christmas  box.  I  assure  you  all  the 
articles  were  very  welcome  and  I  congratulate  the  Ladies'  Guild  on  their 
suitability.  I  know  you  will  convey  my  thanks  to  them,  and  I  give  you  my 
power  of  attorney  to  return  the  kisses  sent  to  me.  \\'e  didn't  exactly  have 
a  gay  and  carefree  Yuletide  season  ;  but  got  through  it  anyway,  and  gave  the 
men  a  damn  good  dinner  with  us  waiting  on  the  table  and  washing  up, 
which  I  think  tliey  enjoyed  almost  as  much  as  the  dinner.  Have  not  seen 
many  Old  Boys  around;  saw^  Doug  Lough  the  other  day — just  the  same 
as  ever,  and  Jack  Brown  to-day,  both  in  the  48th,  of  course.  Saw  Bob 
Drury*  some  months  ago.  Canada  looks  pretty  good  to  us  now.  in  fact  Ld 
even  come  back  and  take  study  and  put  the  boys  to  bed  for  you  with  a  lot 
of  pleasure.  I  see  by  the  paper  the  Irish  Regiment  had  a  church  parade 
at  the  School — good  effort  but  Lll  bet  the  Old  Saint  almost  fell  off  his 
cairn.  Have  really  no  news  to  tell  you— its  all  training  worse  luck  ;  we're 
fed  up  naturally  and  hoping  we  can  get  in  it  but  apparently  we  have  to 
wait — the  great  gods  that  be,  know  best.  Give  my  best  to  all  the  old  gang. 
By  the  way,  tell  Mr.  Tudball  I  was  billeted  for  three  weeks  with  his  cousin 
— Simpkins  by  name.  Cheers  for  now  and  take  care  of  yourself,  the  dear 
old  place  and  all  in  it." 

*Editor's  Note:  As  reported  in  the  Christmas  issue  Bob  Drury  was  killed  shortly 
afterwards  while  acting  as  a  dispatch  rider  during  a  blackout. 


D.  S.  Patterson  (1915-21)  : 

"Many  thanks  for  the  Christmas  parcel.  It  was  great  to  be  remembered. 
Finding  life  and  work  with  the  112th  Squadron  very  interesting  and  enjoy- 
ing what  opportunities  I  can  find  to  see  England.  Best  regards  to  all  the 
staff." 


Si.  Andrew's  College  Review  iiy 

Bruce  B.  King  (1911-22),  48th  Highlanders  of  Canada: 
"Many  thanks  for  the  socks,  candy  and  f^ashUght.  They  arrived  about 
New  Year's.  It  was  grand  to  think  that  the  School  should  send  them  to 
me.  Christmas  away  from  home  is  never  so  good  but  I  spent  mine  in 
Ireland  at  Dublin  with  a  Canadian  cousin  who  married  an  Irish  girl  during 
War  1.  I  had  to  wear  civilian  clothes.  There  were  no  blackouts  and  no 
bombs  or  food  rationing.  Quite  a  relief.  I  have  been  in  London  lately 
during  the  real  bombing  "Blitz"  raids  when  high  explosives  and  incendiaries 
were  used.  The  damage  and  casualties  were  heavy  in  small  areas  but  no 
])anic  prevailed.  The  British  civilians  have  real  pluck.  The  Canadians  are 
hoping  for  some  action  this  spring.  We  have  envied  the  Australians  in 
Egypt.  I  have  been  separated  from  my  I'attalion  for  five  weeks  while  fol- 
lowing my  present  occupation.  I  am  a  school-teacher.  I  am  a  member 
of  the  directing  staff  or  an  instructor  who  teaches  of^cers  how  to  destroy 
their  fellow-men  on  the  enemy  side  with  greater  ease  and  facility,  .^fter 
seeing  the  results  of  the  bombing  of  civilians  in  London  I  have  no  com- 
punction about  it  either.  Our  students  are  Captains  and  Majors  sent  here 
to  learn  how  to  handle  a  company  from  the  tactical  point  of  view.  The 
work  is  interesting  and  very  instructive  to  myself.  Do  remember  me  to 
all  old  friends  at  S.A.C.    I  feel  I  have  quite  a  few." 

W.  S.  Sharp  (1930-34),  48th  Highlanders  of  Canada: 
"Sitting  over  here  in  the  long  evenings  I  often  think  of  the  old  School 
and  of  the  good  times  I  had  there.  I  have  the  pleasure  of  working  under 
Major  King,  another  Andrean.  and  of  course  there  are  also  many  more 
over  here  all  doing  their  share.  I  am  sure  they  join  with  me  in  wishing 
you  all  the  best  of  luck  for  the  future." 

j.  E.  Ganong  (Jan. — Mar.): 

"Thanks  for  kindness  and  thoughtfulness  in  sending  parcel.  Seeing 
a  bit  of  England  and  getting  to  know  the  people.  They  have  been  most 
hospitable  to  the  troops.    Air  raids  only  excitement,  so  far  little  damage." 

C.  Gossage  (Dec.  18th— Mar.  15)  : 

"Many  thanks  for  lovely  parcel.  Flashlight  immediately  put  into  use 
for  looking  at  throats,  and  the  kisses  enjoyed  by  myself  and  the  nurses. 
Thanks  for  cigs.  Spring  is  here  and  crocuses  out.  None  of  us  ex]K'Ct  an 
invasion  and  being  garrison  troops  is  uninteresting." 

W.  T.  Moores : 

"Pleased  to  receive  parcel  from  Old  School.  Received  excellent  Christ- 
mas issue  of  Review.  Interesting  to  see  different  branches  of  services 
Old  Boys  have  joined." 


128  St.  Andrew's  College  Review 

Doug  Lough  (Jan.  4 — Mar  17)  : 

"Parcel  greatly  appreciated,  everything  was  just  great.  Have  run  into 
a  number  of  S.A.C.  boys  including  Bruce  King,  E.  Ganong,  Jack  Brown, 
Dennis  Careless  and  Bob  Armstrong.  Saw  so  many  enemy  planes  shot 
down  that  one  would  think  there  were  none  left.  Played  5  hockey  games 
for  former  squadron.     Christmas  Review  interesting." 

AX'hiteford  G.  Bell  (1900-09).  Royal  Hamilton  Light  Infantry: 
"I  cannot  begin  to  thank  you  enough,  and  the  Ladies'  Guild  for  your 
great  kindness.  It  was  grand  hearing  from  my  old  school  again.  I  can 
assure  you  that  the  presents  you  sent  were  most  awfully  useful.  Funnily 
enough  there  are  quite  a  few  Old  Boys  of  the  four  schools  in  the  Regiment 
— mostly  Captains  and  ^Majors.  Old  Jerry  hasn't  improved  much  in  the 
last  twenty-four  years.  He  is  still  up  to  his  miserable  ideas  of  fighting. 
One  will  never  forget  what  the  civilians  have  had  to  go  through.  However, 
they  have  been  wonderful — always  a  cheer}-  word  and  a  bright  smile.  It 
is  grand  to  have  been  born  a  Britisher." 

J.  Lester  Boyes : 

"Thanks  for  cigs.  Enjoyed  Review,  noting  boys  in  Services.  War  of 
nerves  continues  with  irregular  air  raids.  Canada  can  be  proud  of 
efficiently  trained  army  under  able  leadership  of  General  McNaughton. 
Have  found  Artillery  work  interesting,  especially  surveying  end  of  it." 

John  Brown : 

"Thanks  for  grand  parcel  at  Christmas.  Coastal  duty  for  3  weeks. 
Boys  all  fine  and  regiment  in  grand  shape  with  plenty  of  work  to  keep  us 
toughened  for  this  game.     Would  like  extra  copy  of  Christmas  Review."

indeed  a  necessity  in  blackout.  Socks  fit  perfectly.  Expect  to  get  experi- 
ence on  the  sea." 

Capt.  C.  D.  Kingsmill :

Working  hard,  feeling  fine.     Review  most  interesting."

Old    Boys*    News 

The  School  takes  pride  in  the  new  and  well  merited  recognition  which 
had  come  to  Canada's  High  Commissioner  to  England.  In  the  King's 
Birthday  honours  Mr.  Massey  was  appointed  to  His  Majesty's  Privy 
Council.    We  salute  The  Right  Honourable  Vincent  Massey,  P.O. 

Hugh  H.  Donald,  K.C.  (S.A.C.  1902-07).  has  been  appointed  by  the 
Ontario  Government  to  the  post  of  Inspector  of  Legal  Offices,  a  most 
coveted  position,  and  one  which  he  is  eminently  fitted  to  fill.  The  Inspector 
has  jurisdiction  over  all  Public  Legal  Offices  in  the  Province,  including  the 
Offices  of  Sheriffs.  County  and  Division  Court  Clerks,  Magistrates, 
Coroners  and  the  Registrars  of  Deeds.  There  are  several  hundred  such 
offices  in  Ontario. 

Among  the  successful  Andreans  in  the  U.  of  T.  First  Year  Examinations 
are  Bill  Lofft,  First  Class  Honours  in  Commerce  and  Finance ;  J.  M.

On  behalf  of  the  Old  Boys  and  of  the  present  School,  the  Review 
expresses  deepest  regret  at  the  serious  illness  of  Dr.  Almon  \.  Fletcher 
(1902-07).  Dr.  Fletcher  is  one  of  our  most  distinguished  representatives 
in  the  Medical  Profession  and  he  is  Consulting  Physician  to  Ihe  School. 

On  February  1st.  1941,  A.  Gay  Kirkpatrick  (1920-23)  took  over  the

Dr.  Ewan  Stuart  Macdonald  (1928-33)  has  been  appointed  Senior 
Obstetrical  Interne  at  St.  Michael's  Hospital,  Toronto. 

B.  Langton  S.  Carr  (1932-36)  is  attending  the  Agricultural  College,

At  the  Annual  Meeting  of  the  Canadian  Manufacturers'  Association 
F.  Grenville  Rolph  (1903-13)  was  elected  Chairman  of  the  Toronto 
Branch  of  the  Association. 

Charles  E.  Lewis  (1916-22)  continues  to  show  that  flare  for  leadership 
which  made  him  the  manager  of  many  of  the  student  activities  at  St. 
Andrew's.  He  is  now  Vice-President  of  Lewis  Limited  in  Truro,  Nova 
Scotia,  and  has  just  introduced  to  the  textile  industries  a  new  and  improved 
type  of  yarn.  Spinning  new  and  better  yarns  was  another  thing  that 
Charlie  excelled  at  when  he  was  at  the  School. 

John  Mitchell  (1933-35)  has  recently  been  appointed  Advertising 
Manager  of  the  Circle  Bar  Knitting  Co.,  Limited,  at  Kincardine.  This

The  Old  Boys'  Golf  Tournament  which  was  to  have  been  held  at  The 
Summit  Club  on  Wednesday,  June  18th,  was  lost  in  Toronto's  "Blackout", 
and  is  still  missing,  despite  the  valiant  efforts  of  Grant  Gordon.  Joe  Taylor, 
Gibbs  Blackstock  and  the  rest  of  the  Golf  Committee.  The  "All  Clear" 
will  be  sounded  next  September,  however,  and  it  is  hoped  that  the 
exegencies  of  Home  Defence  will  allow  our  many  A.R.P.  workers  to  take 
18-hole  shifts  at  the  Golf  Links  and  blast  a  few  craters  in  the  sand  traps. 

The  Old  Boys'  Cricket  Match  on  May  24th  brought  out  an  all-star 
team  of  Old  Boys,  who,  with  a  few  days'  practice  might  have  played 
the  M.C.C.  at  its  best.  The  school  batted  first,  scoring  110.  Cobban, 
who  was  stumped  by  Vic  Diver  for  50,  and  Thiel  with  11,  were  the  only 
fouble  figures. 

Milton  Wilson  and  Don  McLelland  opened  well  for  the  Old  Boys, 
giving  us  33  for  the  first  wicket.  W  hile  there  were  no  high  scores  in  the 
total  of  77  there  was  not  a  single  "goose  egg."  The  scores  (exclusive  of 
extras)  were  as  follows:  M.  L  \\  ilson  6,  Don  McLelland  15,  Max  Clark- 
son  2,  Gord.  Christie  3,  Vic.  Diver  7,  Dave  Dickie  4,  Burley  Edwards  8, 
Dustv  Broome  2,  Martin  Kent  8,  Paul  Mosely  1,  Bruce  Butler  4  (not  out). 

Paul  Mosely,  who  is  a  Flying  Officer  at  The  Eglinton  Training  School, 
was  paying  his  first  visit  to  the  old  School  since  he  left  in  1917,  and  this 
was  his  first  game  of  cricket  since  that  time. 

Luncheon  and  tea  were  served  at  the  School,  but  as  the  24th  was  on 
a  Saturday  the  gathering  was  a  small  one.     Week-end  leave  is  still  a 
strong  temptation,  even  for  Old  Boys. 
•   Our  thanks  are  due  to  Gord.  Christie  for  rounding  up  the  veterans. 


St.  Andrew's  College  Review  131 

The  Old  Boys'  Association  has  suffered  the  loss  of  three  most  loyal 
and  valued  members  through  the  passing  of  Andrew  Ralph  Armstrong 
(1931-37),  James  WhiteBicknell  (1902-12),  both  of  Toronto,  and  Harris 
McFaydcn  (1900)  of  Winnipeg.  The  Review  extends  sincere  sympathy 
to  their  families. 

Andrew,  George  and  Bob  Armstrong  all  attended  the  School  and  have 
taken  a  most  active  interest  as  Old  Boys  ever  since.  Andrew  was  a  member 
of  the  First  Cricket  Team  for  three  years  and  has  played  in  several  of  the 
Old  Boys'  Games.  He  was  also  a  Life  Member  of  the  Old  Boys'  Asso- 
ciation.   He  died  on  May  the  18th,  1941,  after  many  weeks  of  illness. 

"Jimmie"  Bicknell  will  be  affectionately  remembered  by  a  great  host 
of  Old  Boys  and  his  genial  personality  will  be  missed  whenever  Old 
Andreans  foregather.  He  took  a  very  active  part  in  all  departments  of 
School  life  during  his  years  at  St.  Andrew's ;  starring  on  the  Rugby  and 
Hockey  Teams  and  being  a  Prefect  and  Captain  of  the  Cadet  Corps  in  his 
last  two  years.  He  later  became  a  Life  Member  of  the  Old  Boys'  Asso- 
ciation. After  leaving  the  School,  Bicknell  studied  Law,  and  up  to  the  time 
of  his  last  illness  was  practising  in  Toronto.  He  passed  away  on  January 
27th,  1941. 

Harris  McFayden  entered  St.  Andrew's  College  from  Caledon,  Ontario, 
in  September.  1900,  going  from  St.  Andrew's  to  the  Ontario  Agricultural 
College  at  Guelph  where  he  graduated  in  1905.  In  that  year  he  migrated 
to  Western  Canada  and  became  Seed  Commissioner  for  Saskatchewan.  He 
later  established  the  McFayden  Seed  Company  in  Winnipeg,  a  Company 
known  from  Coast  to  Coast  for  its  outstanding  contribution  to  the  improve- 
ment of  Canada's  Seed  Grains. 

Mr.  McFayden  had  been  a  member  of  the  Council  of  the  St.  Andrew's 
College  Old  Boys'  Association  for  the  past  two  years.  He  died  on  May 
the  6th,  1941. 

The  Review  has  learned  with  regret  of  the  death  on  August  the  29th. 
1940,  of  Captain  Robert  Chester  Mitchell  (1909-11).  Captain  Mitchell 
attended  the  University  of  Saskatchewan  on  leaving  St.  Andrew's  and  at 
the  time  of  his  death  was  Liason  Officer  for  the  Department  of  National 
Defence. 

Henry  Whitney  Wise  (1922-26)  died  at  St.  Catharines,  Ontario,  on 
December  the  29th,  1940.  The  Review  extends  to  his  sister,  Mrs.  C.  A. 
Edwards  of  Toronto,  sincere  sympathy. 

The  Review  and  the  Old  Boys'  Association  extend  to  Leslie  Evans 
(1919-25)  sincere  sympathy  in  the  loss  of  his  brother,  Gordon,  who  died 
from  a  heart  attack  while  skiing  at  the  Summit  last  winter.

Sl  Andrew's  College  Review 


The  School  extends  sincere  sympathy  to  Lieutenants  A.  W.  and  E. 
G.  Dunbar  in  the  death  of  their  father,  Mr.  Arthur  Dunbar. 

The  Review  expresses  sincere  sympathy  to  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Donald  C. 
Wilson  on  the  untimely  death  of  their  infant  son,  Ian  McCoUum,  on  June 
23rd,  1941. 

Michael  Jacques  de  Sherbinin  (S.A.C.  1911-12),  one  of  the  three  de 
Sherbinin  brothers  whom  many  of  us  remember,  passed  away  suddenly  at 
his  home  in  Mount  Vernon,  N.Y.,  on  January  15th,  1941.  The  sympathy 
of  his  friends  is  extended  by  the  Review  to  Mrs.  de  Sherbinin  and  her 
family. 

Arthur  R.  Brown  (1901-1902)  died  suddenly  at  his  residence,  83  Adas 
Avenue.  Toronto,  on  June  8th,  1941.  Old  Boys  of  the  Chestnut  Park 
days  will  be  particularly  sorry  to  learn  of  the  passing  of  an  old  classmate. 

Thomas  Alexander  Russell,  a  truly  great  Canadian,  and  member  of  the 

Board  of  Governors  of  St.  Andrew's 
College,  died  on  December  the  29th. 
1940.  at  his  home  in  Toronto  after  a 
short  illness. 

After  making  a  brilliant  record  at 
the  University  of  Toronto,  and  after 
an  even  more  brilliant  and  successful 
career  in  business  and  public  life. 
T.  A.  Russell  became  \'ice-President 
of  Toronto  University  and  received  in 
1930  the  degree  of  Doctor  of  Laws. 

In  paying  tribute  to  his  memory. 
President  H.  J.  Cody  said  of  Dr. 
Russell  "He  was  a  loyal  friend  and  a 
noble  man.  He  never  spared  himself ; 
he  never  refused  to  carry  one  more 
burden.  He  never  would  say  to  him- 
self 'What  is  there  in  it  for  me?'  but 
rather  'What  is  there  in  me  for  it?'  " 

The  truth  of  this  tribute  can  be 
attested  to  by  all  who  were  associated 
with  Dr.  Russell  on  the  Board  of  St. 
Andrew's  College.  The  School  will 
ever  be  grateful  for  the  service  which 
he  rendered  as  a  Governor  and  friend.

The  Old  Boys*  Dinner 


The  many  Old  Boys  who  attended  the  Dinner  on  April  5th  at  the  Col- 
lege realized  the  hopes  which  last  year  had  been  deferred,  for  G.  Herbert 
Lash,  Director  of  Public  Information  for  Canada,  left  his  li^^tcning  post  in 
Ottawa  for  a  few  hours  to  join  his  old  schoolmates  and  tell  them  of  his 
work. 

One  of  the  most  striking  things  about  the  gathering  was  the  large 
proportion  of  representatives  from  the  latest  and  earliest  classes  of  the 
School. 

Among  the  "Old  Chestnuts"  (the  reference  is  to  the  location  of  the 
first  school  building,  without  any  reflection  upon  its  products)  were  Gilbert 
Lightbourne,  now  a  Chaplain  to  His  Majesty's  Air  Force  of  Canada.  Norie 
Kerman,  Gren.  Rolph,  Dr.  Staunton  Wishart.  Christie  Clark.  Bill.  Norman 
and  George  McPherson,  Dr.  A.  R.  Riddell.  G.  O.  Fleming.  Bill  Hanna. 
Russell  Grant,  N.  O.  Wheeler,  and  our  new  President  Gibbs  Blackstock. 
Indeed  we  suspect  Gibbs  of  having  exerted  "undue  influence"  in  enticing 
his  old  classmates  to  foresake  the  calm  seclusion  of  the  Armchair  Club  for 
the  jovial  atmosphere  of  a  School  Reunion. 

The  younger  generation  was  also  well  represented  by  H.  K.  Hamilton, 


136  St.  Andrew's  College  Review 

Jr.,  Ruliff  Grass.  Piper  Gord  Christie,  Martie  Kent,  Vaughan  Williams, 
and  a  dozen  others. 

The  time  honoured  rites  were  renewed  and  seemed  to  lose  none  of  their 
zest  by  the  repetition.  The  genial  foregathering  and  Reception  in  the 
Headmaster's  House.  The  Parade  to  the  Dining  Hall.  The  Piping  and 
Address  to  the  Haggis.  A  most  notable  repast,  provided  by  the  School, 
and  fittingly  accompanied.  And  then — the  Toasts  and  Speeches — not  too 
many  and  not  too  long,  and  right  to  the  point. 

Ed.  Whitaker  was  Master  of  Ceremonies,  and  his  apt  introductions 
gave  each  speaker  a  flying  start  and  a  fast  track. 

In  his  Toast  to  the  School.  Bob  Grass,  Vice-Chairman  of  the  Board  of 
Governors,  recalled  the  magnificent  record  of  the  School  in  the  last  war 
and  assured  us  that  the  spirit  which  inspired  that  record  was  still  as  strong 
as  ever  in  the  face  of  the  present  emergency. 

Responding  to  this  Toast,  the  Headmaster  summed  up  the  School  year 
as  one  of  continued  achievement.  The  enrolment  is  the  highest  in  ten 
years,  and  an  earnestness  of  purpose  pervades  every  aspect  of  the  School 
life.  A  gratifying  proportion  of  those  in  attendance  are  sons  of  Old  Boys, 
but  the  future  success  of  the  School  will  depend  to  a  large  extent  upon  the 
ever  increasing  support  of  the  Old  Boys  in  this  regard. 

Dr.  Macdonald  proposed  the  Toast  to  Old  Boys  on  Active  Service, 
citing  the  numbers  now  in  the  Forces  and  recalling  many  instances  of 
individual  valour  both  in  this  war  and  the  last. 

As  Chairman  of  the  Board.  Dr.  Macdonald  urged  upon  us  the  critical 
need  of  the  School  for  our  continued  and  increasing  assistance  in  pro- 
moting public  good-will  and  an  appreciation  of  the  important  role  which 
Boarding  Schools  are  playing  in  the  development  of  a  loyal  British  Canada. 

Norman  MacLeod,  Parliamentary  Correspondent  in  the  House  of 
Commons,  introduced  our  Guest  Speaker.  In  a  humorous  and  engaging 
manner  he  sketched  the  vicissitudes  of  his  journalistic  career.  He  pictured 
The  Director  of  Public  Information  as  being  between  the  upper  and  the 
nether  millstone,  accused  of  extravagance  and  political  propaganda  when 
he  adopts  a  vigorous  and  active  policy,  and  if  he  proceeds  more  modestly 
he  is  immediately  met  with  charges  of  holding  a  sinecure  and  of  failing  to 
earn  his  salary.  As  liaison  officer  between  the  Government  on  one  side  and 
the  Press  and  Public  on  the  other  the  Director  of  Public  Information  cer- 
tainly holds  no  sinecure. 

Herbert  Lash  outlined,  in  his  speech,  the  ramifications  of  his  Depart- 
ment into  all  branches  of  Public  Relations  both  national  and  international, 
Elementary  and  Adult  Education.  Motion  Pictures,  Radio,  Travel,  Press 
Releases,  Advertising  and  Publicity  of  all  kinds. 


Sl  Andrew's  College  Review

The  budget  of  the  Department  of  PubHc  Information  runs  into  many 
thousands  of  dollars  annually  and  while  it  undoubtedly  pays  rich  dividends 
in  national  solidarity,  public  enlightenment  and  a  more  intelligent  democ- 
racy, these  are  intangible  things  which  do  not  ap])ear  on  the  credit  side  of 
the  Public  Accounts  when  the  Budget  is  balanced. 

The  obvious  injustice  of  the  charges  levelled  from  time  to  time  by  press 
and  politician  against  the  Director  of  Public  Information  made  us  all  realize 
the  dangers  of  ill-founded  and  uninformed  criticism  in  Public  Affairs. 


As  the  culmination  of  the  evening  Gibbs  Blackstock  was  duly  installed 
as  President  and  Chairman  to  succeed  Ed.  Whitaker,  and  in  a  short  but 
stirring  speech  he  served  notice  that  next  year's  Dinner  would  set  a  new 
record  for  interest  and  attendance  and  warned  us  that  anyone  who  missed 
it  would  indeed  be  disappointed. 

To  the  Headmaster  and  Mrs.  Ketchum  we  again  give  thanks  for  their 
gracious  hospitality,  to  Miss  Robertson  and  her  staff  for  a  delightful 
dinner,  to  Miss  Brookes  for  the  unseen  part  which  she  always  plays  in 
addressing  and  mailing  the  hundreds  of  notices  which  rally  us  each  year  to 
these  reunions,  and  to  Wally  "Mac"  of  The  Ez'Oiiitg  Telegram  for  the 
merry  sketch  of  our  Guest  Speaker.

UNIVERSITY   OF   WESTERN   ONTARIO 

LONDON,  CANADA 


Canada  is  rapidly  playing  a  larger  and  more  important  pa- 1  in  the  war 
with  Germany  and  Italy.  She  should  pull  her  full  weight  not  only  now  but 
in  the  years  to  come. 

How  is  this  Dominion  to  render  this  service  to  the  British  Empire  and 
to  the  civilized  world  when  only  three  per  cent  of  her  young  people,  qualified 
by  secondai-y  school  attendance,  enroll  for  a  college  or  university  course? 

How  are  leaders  to  be  provided  unless  we  train  them  ?  Where  shall  they 
be  trained  if  not  in  college? 

A  college  or  university  course  is  the  most  valuable  asset  anyone  may 
possess.  It  increases  by  about  ten  times  one's  opportunities  for  happiness  and 
success  in  life. 

Have  you  investigated  the  opportunities  offered  at  the  University  of 
Western  Ontario? 

Here  is  your  chance.     Write  to 

DR.  K.  P.  R.  NEVILLE,  the  Registrar,  for  particulars.
