The Week -At the .Seaforth Collegiate Institute

other smashing victory'for the S.C.I.
boys when they again defeated Clin
ton 19-16. r wonder how they would
stand up against another team?.On
top, dimes' to doughnuts!
Last week this column made a state-
ment about a budding young poet in
Fourth. Frankly, we loubted his abil-
ity to write, but this week tells a dif-
ferent tale. This Wgektie has writ-
ten a poem that does him credit, and
I publicly apologize 'to Miles Mc1V111-
Ian fqr doubting his writing ability.
Here is his poem:
One often wonders "Wiliest's the scorer
And "What are we fighting for?"
It's as plain as plain can be,
Now we're trying to make Hitler see—
What we want is toleration,
And democracy for every nation;
Freedom, franchise—no imperialism;
Religion and rights—Pan-Americanism;
Keeping together the common creeds,
Fairness to all—is what this world
needs!
On Friday evening last a very suc-
cessful "Open House" was held at the
Collegiate, and the students were giv-
en a chance to.show what they sould
do. One of the highlights of the •eve -
filing was a basketball game !between
the students and ex -students. The
students won with •an overwhelming
,core of 44 to' 11. Besides the basket -
!bell games, successful experiments
were carried on in 'the chemistry
class and an excelelnt display of art
rem' the Ontario College of Art was
shown in the'mathematics room. The
main event of 'the evening was, of
course, the presentation of raises anil
diplomas by the chairman.

• We live in a world all our own! In
the case' of many, this is true. As
long as we have enough food, a warm
comfortable hothe arid some spending
money, we are happy. We grumble
about taxes, wages, ;prices and every-
thing else that doesn't suit us. Onee
e, .day ; we pick up a' paper and read
the' war news. On some days we say„.
'"Ali! the news is good; we are fina1-
ly ground!" On others, we
say, "Too bad, what those poor con-
quered peoples must have to go
•hrough; I'm glad safe here in
Canada!" And so it goes from one
day to the next, each day digging just
a little deeper to .speed up victory.
Sadly enough to say our school is fall-
ing down on the .job. We are not. dig-
ging deep enough, and often enough.
Once a week we are asked to buy
War Savings Stamps. It is a small re-
quest, but those living in their own
small worlds dont hear the plea. Our
stamp sale slides up and down the
chart, always a little nearer the bot-
tom than the top. No one likes to
adrult he's a slacker, but the students,
of the school have to admit Shat they
are.
'the torch has been thrown to
us; but. often we have failed to catch
hold of it. Dimes and ,dollars will
bring victory. , Students, are yours
added every week? If not, start right
away. A little goes a long way.•

On Tuesday afternoon while the
!boys took. drill. the girls were,given
&• taik by Miss Rolston on the sub-
ject of nursing. Nursing holds many
opportunities for girls and it is re-:
ported that several of the stndentS
are entering this field of work when 1
they leave Collegiate.

Monday night the boys of the school
gained face again when thee Sefeated
Clinton 'Collegiate. 20-18. The star
pleyers were Harrison, McMillan and
Hicknell. It looks aS if, • even with
the loss of .some of tbe best players,
the boys can still defeat an opposing
team. Tuesday .night also brought an-'
The next year or so will see us through
Buying War Bonds is what we will do.
We'll put the Lion over 'the top
And then the Huns will beraii the spot!
British and Yaiks and brave Russians
too,
What the Canucks, Chinese and. An
zacs won't do!
We're all together with our far -East-
ern Allies,

So look out you Germans, Japs and
you Wops,

, Questions of; the Week?
What certain teacher told a class
that they should have a camere to re-
cord the antics of certain studentS?
Well, it might not be a bad idea, but
certainly with your neighbors intrud-
ing, .hew can one concentrate?
What certain' Fifth Form students
e nt it again? The first blows of
'he new round ,were struck in a class
the other -day. The score is in favor
of the fem, ,and it's easy to see that
the girls are the strongest. Now if
Junior will craWlback into his shell
until June, we'll have some peace and
quiet!

grateful appreeiation of the 300 cigar-
etteesl .reeeived from you .yesterday:
They certainty arrived at the very op-
portune moment, when nearly every-
one in the cemp was out of cigar-
ettes— myself included. And, believe
me, we'd sooner have one pack of
Canadian fags than 10 of. the English
ones. ' The mail from home has been
'rather disappointing lately as we
don't seem to receive hardly any mail
at alt. However, we're sure thankful
for what we do get. I -hope none of
you have suffered from the rather.
severe winter that I've heard .so
much about. 1 understand that local-
ity got it .pretty heavy in the snow-
fall. I also hope that you all had
the very best time possible over there
the past festive occasions, and here
are my best wishes for the balance
of this New Year. I spent a rather,
quiet holiday time myself. The only
feastings we had was Christmas din-
ner and it was a huge success. Since
that time -We've been in training until
this past fwo weeks at which time
we were sent out on another wartime
construction job. We feel a lot bet-
ter, both. physically and mentally%
when we're on construction work, at
which time W4 also,get an extra. ra-
tion allowance to appease our enlarg-
ed appetites, However. the main feel-
ing ie our blood is the expectancy of
being it battle in the near future. We
have received with much satisfaction
all the news that was divulged in the
great Casablanea. conference. So who
knows, friends: it may only be a
short time till we're back among you

similar to our own May weather at
home. "Old Jerry" still rattles a few
bombs on this eountry, but causes no
great damage. Our own boys sure
seem to be giving him a taste of his
own medicine though. Well, as there
is not much in the line, of news I can
divulge, I'll close for now, once again
thanking you for the cigarette reoeiv-
ed. Best wishes to one and all."—
