big good-bye to all our school friends.
1 can’t imagine why. As for myself,,
I intend to keep on being friends with
them. In fact, it seems much easier
to be friendly with my teachers now
that I can consider them as human
beings-—not automats continually de
manding homework and examinations.
Our teachers and school chums have
worked with us for five years, and if
they still can remain our friends at
this time, surely no parting can ever
sever the bands.
,My friends, I wish you ■ happiness,
but above all, I wish you true success
in future life, and true success is in.

TONSILS AND ADENOIDS

IN CANADA
At the back of the mouth, oh either
side of the palate, are the tonsils;
above and ’at the back of the nose,
the adenoids are placed. The tonsils
and ednoids are alike in that they
are lymphatic glands, and all lymph
atic glands are a first line of defence
or barrier against germs which at
tempt to gain entrance into ’the body.
Enlargement of the tonsils and ad
enoids shows that germs have invad
ed these glands,,, and that, as a result,
the glands have become enlarged in
their" effort to deal with the invaders.
Tf the glands succeed in this, then
they return to their normal size find
state. If, however, they arc not whol
ly successful, the gland remains en
larged, and, instead of being a barrier
to germs, it becomes ’a focus of germ
life, and there Is a possibility that the
infection will spread to the surround
ing parts. *
Enlarged tonsils and adenoids may
do harm simply through mechanical
obstruction and pressure; The. en

Much more serious are the ill ef

Middle ear disease, sinus disease,
chronic colds, sore throats, may fol

proceed to mastoid disease and men

the general health; the child may fail
to grow normally, and he may be un
derweight, pale, listless and easily
tired. i
The decision as to whether or not
tonsils and adenoids are so enlarged
or diseased as to require to be re
moved should be made by the doctor
who examines the child and studies
his history. There is no doubt that
diseased tonsils should be removed,
and this before they have done any
harm.
There are few things which are
more beneficial to a child’s health
than the removal of tonsils and ad
enoids, when their removal is indicat
ed. Not only does this procedure cor

measure for rheumatic fever if remov

come in the future, our parents and
our teachers, those patient people who
pushed and prodded us along the road
to knowledge, these will always con
sider -us still in the embryo stage.
| After all, they’re right. 'Five years
in high school do not make polished
'men and women out of public school
children! We have learned smatter
ings of many subjects, merely enough
to whet our desire for more know
ledge; to make us dislike certain
fields and choose others for our life
work. This has been only a time of
preparation — and very ' elementary
preparation at that. No matter* what
idealists may say about our educa
tional system, the fact remains, that
in its present condition, it teaches
those who come to school, how to
earn a living. Nothing need be said
about the employment situation to

We have received valuable tiaining
outside the classroom. The literary
society gave us a chance to overcome
the shyness with which we entered
high school. It provided an oppor
tunity for discovering hidden talent
and developing it. It helped us to
laugh. If you do not'learn to laugh
at school, you’ll never learn. It’s fair
ly easy Jo laugh at your fellow stud
ents, no task at all to laugh at the
teachers, but when you learn to laugh
at yourself, you’ve gained the pearl of
great price. Then, too, our social
meetings remain as pleasant memor
ies of enjoyable hours spent together.
We come to this school to develop
our minds, but through sport, also,
we obtain great benefits. A true stud
ent develops not only his mind, but
also his body. A fine brain in an un
healthy adn weak body is greatly
handicapped. If we are to build up a
strong, healthy nation, we should not
neglect the physical side, and in our
own interest, we should not neglect
Jus-
our bodies.
It is “ex consuetudine” to donate'
some advice to the beginners. Re

school life. You’ll never have a bet
ter opportunity to find out the kind
of things you like to do, and can do
well. Go in for everything; you’ll dis
cover untold possibilities in yourself,
and your life here w|ll be fifty per
cent more interesting. That’s the only
way to have a full life—be interested
in everything and everybody, and ev
erybody will be interested in you.
I think that at this time it wo-uld
be fitting to thank our teachers. Lit
tle would our efforts have -profited
us, if it had not been for their co-op-
cration and interest in our behalf.
And if any student dares to remember
inopportunely certain caustic remarks
and heavy chastisements—-well, think
of the things we got away with! So
to our teacher we turn, with feelings
of sincerest gratitude and deep re
