given. The Principal, Mr. C. E.
Jamieson, made a few remarks and presented the Princeps
Alumnus Medal, which he donated, to Robert Howitt. This medal was given for a general high
standing in scholarship, sportsmanship, character and leadership. The programme closed with
a selection, “Gavotte” by the Boys’
Band, and the National Anthem. PERSONALS FORM V -- HERE WE ARE! DORIS WARNER ANDERSON “I’m often more clever and
catty than kind, It’s such a temptation to show
off my mind.” “Streak” has been jumping
centre on the Senior Girls’ Basketball
team for two years and has helped the team win many victories by
always getting the ball. We’ll find
her at Queen’s next year, specializing in Math and Physics. MARGARET ALICE BEDORE “But here I am to speak what I
do know.” Marg helps cheer up the southwest
corner of Fifth with her mirth provoking sallies; nevertheless she is going in seriously for
Modern Languages and expects to pursue her duties at Queen’s in the fall. DOROTHY GRACE BELL “Still waters run deep.” Dorothy stays away down in the
back seat by the door -- but she’s there all right. She got her junior Matric
at Tamworth and expects to go to North Bay Normal next September. MARION GRACE EXLEY “If you can take life lightly It’s a pretty good game to
play.” Marion is one of N.C.I’s most
loyal supporters, and does her best for the “Blue, Yellow and Blue” by
editing the Torch; acting as convener
of the Literary and Dramatic Committee, captain of the Girls’ Junior Basketball
team, and treasurer of the Girl’s’ Athletic Association. Everyone wishes her the very best success
in whatever she may choose to do - you see she hasn’t chosen yet ! LAURA LILLIAN FOLEY “I have a little flivver That goes up and down with me, But how we stay together so Is more than I can see !” Laura came here three years ago
from Port Hope and expects to go into Household Economics at Victoria next
year. She helps Marian a little as
sub-editor of the Torch. BEATRICE MARGARET FORSYTH “Cheerily my way I go.” Beatrice hails from Wilton and
attended Odessa Continuation School until last year when she came to
N.C.I. Next year will find her
attending Normal. MABEL HELEN JACKSON “They say a life of struggle
grim, Of facing every task, Will get you somewhere in the
end -- But where, if I may ask? Mabel comes from Selby every
Monday morning and has been at N.C.I. throughout her entire Collegiate
course. She played defense on the
Senior Girls’ Basketball team this year, but will probably be leaving to
attend Toronto Normal. THELMA EILEEN JOYCE “Ever on the move.” We know her as Thelma, but they
seem to call her Eileen in Deseronto where she comes from on the bus every
day. She helped N.C.I. along this year
by acting as “sub” for the Senior Girls’ Basketball team. Next year she will be at Peterboro Normal. LOUISE CATHERINE McGUIRE “A merry heart doeth good like
medicine.” Louise is our only Fifth Form
representative from Strathcona and we all remember
the good time we had at her place on our sleighing party. She expects to come back to N.C.I. in the
fall. ELIZABETH VICTORIA SILLS “I love the world the way it is The truest love is never
blind.” Elizabeth, who is one of the
most cheerful members of the form, got her Junior Matric
at Bath H.S. and will be back next year or go to Normal. LEAH MARJORIE SILLS “She is witty to talk to And pleasant too, to think on.” “Margie” represents the V Form
girls in the students’ Council, as well as acting as Exchange Editor for the
Torch. She’s completing her Upper
School this year and will be attending Peterboro
Normal next year. REBECCA MARY SMITH “Her music always charms.” Rebecca came to N.C.I. this
year from Deseronto High, where she won a scholarship last year. We’ll find her at Varsity in the fall. MARY FRANCES WALLACE “Her skill lies now with bow
and arrow, But with her bow and string.” Mary got her Junior
Matriculation at Newburgh and now comes to N.C.I. every day from Yarker on
the train. We’ll see her at Peterboro Normal next September. DOROTHY ELEANOR WILSON “They say that youth’s the
carefree time.” “Dody”
kept up her reputation as a basketball Star this year and was captain of the
Senior Team, as well as acting as President of the Girls’ Athletic
Association. She expects to go into
Household Economics at Varsity in September. DOUGLAS ALMONTE ALKENBRACK “Men may come and men may go But I go on forever.” Douglas comes from about three
miles west, and has favoured us with his presence for some years. In fact, he has become somewhat of an
institution in N.C.I. At the time of
going to press, we do not know his future plans. ALAN BOWEN AYLSWORTH Alan is a native of the town of
Napanee, and although younger than our average in V., seems to get along as
well as the rest of us. He will be
with us again next year. ARTHUR EDMUND BELL Arthur, although not a Red,
comes from Moscow. He has favoured us
with his presence for only one year and intends to come back to N.C.I. next
year. JOHN PETER CREIGHTON J.P. has been with us for two years,
and the sound of his Ford has become familiar to all N.C.I. He intends to go to Guelph next year. CAMERON FREDERICK SHORTTS Cameron is another who
brightens us with his presence for only one year. He is from the village of Newburgh. He is
undecided as to his future. HUBERT SMEDLEY Hubert is one of our
mathematicians, who are, alas all too few.
He comes to us from Camden East.
He is going to Queen’s next year.
JOSEPH AUGUSTINE THOMPSON Joe is one of our hard working
Fifth Formers. He is busy completing
his matriculation, and intends to go to Guelph next year. HAROLD ALMOND WITHERS Withers holds up the back end
of the Form, more by moral support than by words or deeds. He came to us from Bath, and intends to go
to North Bay next year. ROBERT BRODIE HOWITT We all thought that Bob had
left us for good last year, but he is back taking a more or less
post-graduate course. We believe that
Bob is headed for Queen’s next year. FRANCIS CHARLES BRENNAN Tiny is an importation from
Deseronto, and unfortunately, like so many of our Fifth Formers, remains with
us only one year. He is uncertain as
to his next year’s prospect. RUPERT WHITNEY DUMBRILLE Rupe entered N.C.I. four years ago,
from Kemptville High School. He is leaving in the fall to go to Queen’s
University. GEORGE DREWRY McQUADE George comes to us from Odessa,
and has been with us for two years.
However we believe that George intends to tear himself away next
fall. He will go to college next year. GORDON L. PAUL Gordon is our most studious
youth, and does not share our usual aversion to carrying home books. Gordon is going to Peterborough next year. CECIL HARRISON SAGER Cecil comes from Deseronto, and
has, like the other transient gentlemen, who come to us for final polish,
only one year with us. He is going to
Queen’s next year. FORM III C LUELLA ASSELSTINE would sure be thought sick if
she didn’t receive 100 in every examination. MARION WINTER is our soloist. In our dull periods Marion either whistles for
us or entertains us with a solo. MARY KINNEAR the little girl who sits near
the front of the room, carries her ledger to the Post Office to post it. VIVIAN YOUNG and her close friend, GLENDINE
CLARKE, still keep up courage to
crank the old car and manage to get to school around 10 o’clock anyway. HELEN LASHER would certainly be missed if
moved to the front of the room, as everybody around her would have to buy a
watch to know when the secretary doesn’t ring the bell soon enough. EILEEN FOX is kept busy mending her clothes which she
tears on the seat. Eileen certainly
helps our dull hours to pass quickly. MINNIE RONEY may be bashful sometimes, but when it comes
to playing wink at a party, Minnie overcomes her bashfulness quite nicely. HAROLD PRINGLE expects to become the world’s
champion typist in George Hossfield’s place. WILFRED VANSLYCK and EDWARD LOUCKS must be Scotchmen, because they keep their
watches an hour slow so it won’t wear out he mainspring. FANNIE WADDELL our popular basketball star,
got her practice at home shooting apples into a wash-tub. IRENE GARRISON may be small, but when it
comes to making a noise with her high heels she can make them clack as well
as a bigger person. Never mind, Irene,
we are always glad to hear you coming. THE EVANS SISTERS, MARY AND
HELEN make a
good pair. What one doesn’t know the
other does, so between them they would make fine office assistants. FRANCES HENDERSON, our petite French star, is a
great success in her parlez-vous. GARNET DUPRE used to be efficient in all
his studies until a certain girl in II C began to attract his studies. BEATRICE VALKMAN reads so much about Sir Isaac
Pitman’s works that she soon ought to make a good stenographer for some man. MADELYN DENISON or “Lyn” as she is so often
called, is noted for her bright and sunny smile. BRUCE ALKENBRACK makes us smile many times in a
day with his witty remarks. MARGARET TURNER always seems to have an excuse
for not having her work done, but we wonder what those excuses are. PEARL HUDSON and JENNIE CLEMENT
always discuss the latest gossip of the town before settling down to work
each morning. LAURA SILLS never seems to be able to do
her work properly until she has had her daily phone call and five minutes
chat. MARION SEYMOUR generally arrives about 2 minutes after the
bell has run, but nevertheless we are always glad to see her, whether late or
early. FLOSSIE TIBBUTT is always deep in thought ? ?
? We wonder what about. JOAN LeMAISTRE FORM II C [Names Include] Marjorie
