Crystal, gazing and tarn back the gag-
-es of School News into the year 1942.
Do you remember 'way haeik in '42
when people were singing the top
tunes of the fall, "I Don't Want To
Set the World on Fire" and "My De-,
motion"; the feather bob was coming
Into;its own; skirts„ saddle shoes and
"Sloppy Jae" sweaters were in vogue,.
and the 'longer and' heavier your
meads were, the more you were in
style? It was in the. •October 30, 1942,
column .of :School. News that this ap-
t...,...
seared.
"Funny how certain students in the
school have a yearning for jewelry
of all descriptions, especially one of
the fem. students, who took a par-
ticular •fancy to a Fifth ,• Form boy's
ring and decided to' claim, it as her
own. 'After much persuasion and a
great deal of difficulty, the ring was,
'obtained and although•th8 .boy hard
ay gave it as a substitute for lits fra-
ternity pin, he now goes to and from
school whistling "The Wedding
March." Tsh I TO! Students, we
have a wedding springing up right un-
der our noses." -Remember?
And..do you remember also who the
;bright. student was that fall; that put
the cute, black kitten into " Harry
Scott's desk, and the certain Fourth
tForm student who was so disappoint,
led when Miss Alien found it 'first.
This was the year when the old!
Grade XII students discovered , the
amazing' explosive powers of hydro-
gen, blue and white candy -striped
"shorts" were in vogue, and Victor
Mature journeyed about each form in
the loving hands,of one of the Grade
XII students.

The . year 1943 brought with it Bev
eral events worth mentioning;. The
Fathers of Democracy Program qn
Feb. 19, 1943; The Arts Club Dance
with Willis Tipping's orchestra. on
March 4, 1943; Qpere •House on April
16th. and a fline Empire Day pregnant
on May 21, 1943. 'This years•saw one
of our "famous" 'basketball. players,
Jim Southgate, enlist in the R.C,A.F.
and by fall the remainder of our
young eligibles -Harry_ Scott, Miles
,McMillan and Ken. 'Debating: had join-
ed the forces of the R.C.A.F. To
them we wished "God speed and good
flying" and settled down to face more
work. But nowthe vision vanishes,
and we must wait until later to re-
view the events in the "fall of '43."
Thus ending our crystal gazing, we
turn now to the events at hand.°Sev-
eral weeks age the Arts Club present-
ed an especially fine Empire Day
program which we have neglected to
mention. Many thanks 'of apprecia-
tion are due to every member of the
•girls' chorus and to. Jean' McMaster,
Doris Ferguson, Pat Bechely and Mar-
ian Mason. Thanks, too, go to Mar-
guerite Westcott and .Laois Whitney.
The guest speaker, Rev. Hugh Jack,
gave the students an inspiring mes-
sage and oris they will not soon' for-

At ' the Empire meeting, 'the vice-
president of the Arts Club, Dorothy
.Smith, announced that the Club had
let aside $30 this year towards a
radio or amplifying set for the school
after -the wa'r. The Arts Club Hope
that each year a sum of. money will
be set aside -towards this project.
Here and now we should like to
congratulate Miss Marguerite • West-
cott, winner of the Alumni Scholar-
ship. Not only has "Wes" ranked
high in her school work, but she has
taken a great deal of interest, in the
Red Cross and the Arts Club, as well
as being vice-president 'of the' . Girls'
Athletic Society. ' To these three so-
cieties she has cheerfully given her
services when called on, and so we
say: "The' best of.1uck and smooth
sailing in your future work."
The last meeting of the Junior Red
Cross was held in Grade •X on Tues-
day afternoon. Two very interesting
topics were given by Miss Fennel and
Jean Wright. 'Miss Fennel addressed

Hollow Cities'
(By Bruce Hutchison. in Winnipeg
Free Press)
When G. L +Russell ,writes in- The
Winnipeg Free Press on the need of
re -planning our Canadian cities he
has struck deep into the 'character of
Canada, .perhaps 'deeper than he
knows. The need of replanning our
cities is obvious to anyone who has
to live in them; but why has this
need arisen?
Why • is it that in all Canada • we
have''not one well-planned city, not
one perfect, centre of urban life, such
as is to . be found occasionally in Me"
Old World? ',Indeed, you will travel
throughout America and find few such
communities, • and none of any 'size.
In the sense of pleasurable places to
live" in we ,probably have no, single
city in America. Who can compare the brutal ,can -
eons et New York to the gracious
parks, green belts and •encrusted
architecture of London, which, for all
its slums, is a .city .wherdas New
York is a prison? Where on this
continent can you find the equal of
Paris, which, for, all the squalor of
its back streets, Is yet a place for
ease, for contemplation and for hu-
man companionship? Where the eq-
ual
qual of Vienna with a circular park
`cutting through, the whole city like e.
fresh breeze? Or of -Budapest, a
sheer fairyland at night, • or Munich
or Brussels or a •dozen others?
It is when you place our small Can-
adian+towns beside the towns of Eng-
land that you realize fully the •stark-
ness of our civilization, the utter bru-
tality of , our -physical, life: No one
FC'ho has seen rural England is ever
satisfied with rural Canada or is ev,
ereetr!elite the same man again. He re-
rns a sadder and a wiser m,an.
' Now it is true that the old World
has had 'plenty of time to build its
cities and its towns and to give them
tthet final patina which only comes
from-•Eenteries of human living. We
have jacked time and we have lacked
money, but -the character of our com-
munities cannot be excused on that
ground alone. We • have not built
good cities and towns because we
have not wanted to. That is the real
reason and all the town planners lied
better understand it clearly; for if
we do not `want to build better cities
and towns -and want to • do it, with
conviction and passion -then we shall
never do It, •
The reason we have not wanted to
in the past is not -that • we`.. dislike
beauty; comfort, Air and sunlight. We
like them as well as, anyone else.
The reason is that we have never
expected to remain, long in the same
place. We expected to move out of
the crowded street into a new 'street,
carved through the 'adjoining • coun-
tryside; out of• the old hoeme into a
new ' house; • -Milt 'on the instalment
Plan. We are a Continent of movers.
We move from one town to another,
from town to city and then, • when
ive get rich enough,, back to the coun-
try (the rich man thus obtaining,
along with old age and a cardiac con-
dition, the rewards which he could
have got foe nothing if be had -stay-
ed put in the first place).

The result -la thee:practically every'
city in America is hollow with a ewer •
of decay -in its centre 'while everyone
keeps moving farther and farther in-
to the . surrounding landscape.
If we are not careful the latest in-
ventions of architecture will oniy..add
momentum to this decay; for they
will persuade everyone to Build a new
house, with new gadgets, and desert
the old, which will add to the hollow
n'
core of our cities. This cabe pre-
ventedif we destroy vast areas of
slums and build new residential dis-
tricts in their place, planned with
parks, and open'"spaces. •
But ' we shall do, none of these
things,. for airthe honest efforts of '
.the town planners, if. • we do not
change our basic attitude towards
life. It is not good enough to, per- --
suade America that it' needs -Better
cities. America must be persuaded
that there Is some stability to life
and that it does not properly consist' ' .
of rushing from -one place to another. -
in aceupying ever larger houses,
spending ever 'more 'money, punting,
on more•and.mere show, owning more
and more things; must. be persuaded,
in brief; that the frontier is gone,
with Its tradition sof reckless waste;
exploitation and expansion.
Our trouble fn America is that we
still imagine ' •we are a frontier peo-
ple,-
ea
ple, with no end to our resources,
no end of new streets, -np need to -
werry about the wastage and ruin
left behind' us an our forward mardli,
to the West. We have to realize
that the frontier for most of ns is
closed, the resources are not-
able,
ot-able, and that we are now a. settled
and urban people who must spend our
lives...Sn Communities, as part of . a
community, not as roaming adventur-
ers and carefree cowboys. This will
`force us to abandon some of our most
•valued legebds and charming' day- •
dreams, but in compensation we may!
achieve a tolefable urban life and we
may develop in its truest sense a
civilization of our own' instead of am
auction sale and a 'continual moving
day.- ,
