Pollen Wins Third
At WOSSA Meet
By JOYCE ELDA FISHER
On Saturday, October 17, the
Secondary schools of Western On
tario competed in their annual
track meet at the University of
Western Ontario. The sunny day
was ideal for the meet.
A busload of students from
South Huron High left the school
at 9 o’clock Saturday morning,
Bill Pollen was the only win
ner from the local school. He
captured third in the junior boys
220-yard dash.
Although the other entries
from South Huron did well, they
didn’t match the ability of cham
pions from district schools.

EDITOR'S NOTE
In January, 1947, the Exeter
High School came into being.
Previous to that year, there were
eight teachers on the staff, 205
pupils, and a rather vague area
from which pupils came to the
school. Since then the staff has
increased to 17 teachers, the
school attendance to 400, and a
large area is covered by the Dist
rict.
There was a time when those
interested in the high school
knew the teachers quite well. To
day there are, no doubt, many
people in the district surrounding
Exeter who do not know even
the names of those on the staff
of S.H.D.H.S.
It is the intention of the paper
staff to run a series of articles
designed to acquaint our readers
with our present instructors.
In this issue, you will find a
write-up based on an interview
with Mr. Sturgis, our principal,
by Mary Margaret Esser’y, a
Grade 13 student.
By MARY MARGARET ESSERY
Because 'our principal, Mr. H.
L. Sturgis, has visited the homes
of the Grade 9 students for the
last few years and because he
has acted as chairman at many
school programs, he is quite well
known in the^district. However,
not as well known is the fact
that behind him lie many years
of training for the profession he
now follows.
Mr. Sturgis was born on a farm
near Tillsonburg and attended a
rural school at
near that town,
days were spent
Woodstock from
uated to enter Normal School in
London, Later he attended the
University of Western Ontario
where he obtained his Bachelor
of Arts degree.
Since then, Mr, Sturgis has
taken two post graduate courses;
one on the art of teaching in
Toronto, where he obtained his
Bachelor of Pedagogy with hon
ors.; the other a French course
taken at Laval University in Que
bec. He has also a Music Special
ist Certificate which he acquired
from the Department of Educa
tion.
He began his teaching career
as principal of the public school
at Bloomingdale near Kitchener.
Later, he was assistant principal
of the high school in Drayton
and also taught on the Learning
ton High School staff. Then he
became principal of Alvinston
High School. It was from this
school that Mr. Sturgis came to
Exeter to teach and later to be
come principal. Last month, he
began his sixteenth year of teach
ing at S.H.D.H.S., and he now
instructs French and music.
Mr. Sturgis, as most people
know, is interested in music and
is the able leader of our High
School Glee Club. 'Travel is an
other of his interests. He has
been to Florida, California and
Colorado, and enjoys his tours,
not for the comfort derived, but
to see new places. He follows the
rugby and basketball teams and
takes an interest in growing
Christmas trees. He is a past
president of the Lions Club. As
most pupils have probably ob
served, our popular principal is
noted for his careful selection of
colorful ties.

Writes From City
By RILL BATTEN
Toronto, October J.0
Hi, S.H.D.H.S.:
After weeks of careful plan
ning and expectation, the opening
of Ryerson has arrived, Students
have come from all over the
world to study the trade in which
some day they hope to become
craftsmen. Of course, with the
opening comes the initiation of
all freshmen—“frosh”* as we are
called—by the sophs and seniors.
The festivities included py
jama parades to city hall, snake
dances up Yonge Street, and auc
tioning off of women’s apparel.
We lowly frosh had to wait hand
and foot on the sophs and had
always to be equipped with shoe
shine rags, etc.
Some of the initiation high
lights were a hard time dance on
Wednesday, a field day, and a
soph-frosh dance on Friday. This
dance officially ended initiation
and was highlighted by a co'urt
session which convicted four
“freshmen” of several misdoings:
They were all thoroughly shocked
by being sentenced to the electric
chair,
Here at Ryerspn there is an
activity for everyone, For the
athletes there are sports of every
nature. There is a glee club, band,
orchestra and dramatics club for
students desiring less active extra
curricular activities. For those
who wish to read or do some re
search, Ryerson is equipped with
a large library.
Nowhere else in Canada will
you find better equipment or in
struction. The instructors are
among the best craftsmen in the
world. In some courses the equip
ment is valued at over a million
dollars. '
There is so much I could say
about Ryerson that I could keep
writing for a long time but the
best thing I can suggest is that
you come here and visit the
school and see it all for yourself.
