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.• t‘a4 * 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.
