Santa Claws Has Come to Town muodncmmm coliufotolttemmmforwud 90th Birthday Celebrated by Speaker Throws Challenge to new confused in at Ween Santa Claus and the Cup After watching Santa welcomed to town we rushed over bthe Arm to shake his band so tilt we could get our Saturday op done ln time to get home for to Instr the start of he Wat Needless to say it was more like two oclock after hit ting the noon hour rush in the grocery stores So that by the time we arrived oesr the radio at home and got bundl up to listen to the football game in realistic fashion will meat pie in one hand in stand of ho dog we were just in lime to hear the last quarter which was game ir itself All Torontoan who saw the Eskimos arrive in such gay fashion must have been sorry even the hearticst Argo fans to have to see them go down to defeat On pre Chrlztmas visit to Toronto Friday we at first thlucred what conven tion was on when men and women in green and yellow with ribbons badges and commons hats appeared at such scattered points as the bus terminal department stores and restaurants It looked like Elks written on their hats and were were just pondering how they had got over the border and why when an enormous football huddle was formed in the middle of store aisle and the lika stopped traffic for while to impress the big town In the evening the lisks cvcn glowed in the dark Whether their big Americanlike Like the Esks badges were operated by batteries or just plain glowed with enthusiasm we dont know Bill we could see thnm all the way across Yonge St glowing in groups of two or three and doing their best to hold up street car traffic during the rush hour Maybe Ole llasfcmcrs think they are responsible for half the Grey Cup apirit but we are inclined to think that more than half of the enthusiasm comes from the Far West But the cast is learning fast with the annual invasion from Canadas Wide open spaces Queens English Home and School Meeting Theme The November meeting of the

and capable in one particular typosof Whatever occupation they chose they should resolve to be learner all their days The last half of their lives woud be the most important and life could begin at 20 40 or 60 provided they were learners Mr Becch then went on to say that former president of Colum bia University had once said that lf mans curve of efficiency was nascendlng at 45 years of age and then kept ascending it might well move upward for the rest of his life However if mans curve of efficiency turned downward at 45 he would never recover They would encounter problems as they went through life but they should do everything in their pow er not to be moved from the path they should follow They should become more efficient in all their dealings as they went along Study Problems One thing which they should do was to make study of contempor ary problems and resolve to make contributions towards their solu tion They had to be sure how ever that their contributions were positive

theeduutiolnl ladder However many presslons do remain with and shall hold food place in our mem ories no matter what we go on to in our future lives Thor was little doubt that the paign old sayingabout schooldays being the happiest days in our lives was true in every respect In grade nine they were newcomers to larger world their shyness keeiling moderate control on their exuberance but approach ing grade ten they began to feel important and contracted disease Gradctenitis This served to dull their minds but their school spirit soared as they came to feel they not only belonged to but own ed the school From then on they watched the football field and has ketball floor with increasing appregt hcnsion for the welfare of their team think may safely say that we were not often disappointed in spite of opposing sixfooters or snow covered rugby field Frances ad dcd School Clubs The school clubs were source of satisfaction for aspiring writers dramatists and students of French and many happy hours had been spent in cooperation with guiding teachers to help wind out their aca demic life These clubs were all important part of the students life as they encouraged cooperation and comradcship but they should al ways lakc second place to the aca dcmic goal which they sought Many was the Waterloo which had been met in the intricacies of foreign languages and the baffling Inbyrinihs of mathematics and many pcrsevcring souls had risen to the heights of ecstasy or had fallen to the depths of despair on field of test tubes or book of Virgil After five years of work and play they had at last come to the stage of receiving their muchcoveted diplomas The school had taught them much The academic years had been full of lessons of cooper ation independence and humility In the classrooms they had learned to develop an ability tosuccced in academic work in the extracur ricular activities they had learned to live with others and apply their knowledge We shall carry with us from this school not only formal education of academic success but memories of joy and elation at our success humility and cOntriteness at our failure Primary Object Frances went on to say that she hoped that none of them would underestimate the value of what they had learned or would under estimate the value of supplement ing their knowledge There should be one primary object of education to make students realize how little they actually knew Education such as they received was invalu able in allowing the student to grasp an awareness of the differ cult branches of learning in which he or she could later specialiie In general they could divide edu cation into three fields the natural sciences and mathematics the so cial sciences and the humanities The latter waszerhaps the most important and oldest aspect of learning It included the fine arts history and philosophy In school they had been exposed tothis in calculable wisdom for five years but one might wonder if any of them re llzed the value that lay behind facts they so rigorously learne These studies helped to stimulate their imagination to de velop in depth and breadth The focus then of liberal edu cation should be to rationalize the studcnts outlook towards human values of artreligi0n and morality However Study cannot be an escape from reality so the ethical sense of man ust confront the terror and cruo ty of the world gain genuine maturity WfWg mustaccept the national task of replacing ignorancegland brutality with knowledge and mor gal purpose Theworld has become small and explosive An intimate knowledge of the diverse peoples and civilizations of our time is an urgent necessitypnot only for our survival but for any possible fu ture enrichment of the world In preparation for on adult com munity then genuine intelligence love of beauty and social will for the right through the medium or knowledge of language historyiond social systems must be gained by education II which could be termed MRS MARY
