S. NOTES On Monday, April 29th, 1935, the school received a leter from Nicholas Aziz, a former student at C. H. S., and now with his parents1 on a wheat farm at Wishart, Sask. The family sumably in good health and carrying out the duties that such a farm requires of them. In regard to the district in which they are located this quotation from th« letter of Nicholas is very enlightening. "We are 100 miles north of the prairie area. There are no dust storms, such as frequent that district south of us. The soil is o. rich black loam, even richer than that of Ontario. We have fields here that have only two or three crops, so that it is a veritable mine of wealth if prices of wheat were only better." The keynote of his message, hewever, was a request for correspondence from his Colborne friends. Letters from the home town will certainly be appreciated, not only by Nicholas, but also by the other members of the' family. Preparations are now going forward for participation in the concert to be held Monday, May 6th, 1935. in Colborne Similar entertainments for the benefit of the Canadian Cancer Fund will be held in all parts of Canada on this date, in conjunction with the King's Silver Jubilee Celebrations.

H. iS. has always produced excellent public speakers, and as for the orchestra, it needs no introducton--although these talented jKrrformers will greatly dd to the enjoyment of a program that is sure to be "tops" in entertain-When C.

After these applications have been filled In with the required information and duly signed and dated, the decks will cleared for action for the final dash to June examinations. This term. is rather short as terms go, and leaves but little time for last review. For many students their work during this period will determine their standing when the final results roll through in the summer. The Upper School cloakrooms -S»d corridors certainly show the effects the beauty treatment which was administered during the Easter holidays. The colour scheme is not just plain white and light brown, as er-ronneously reported in last week's notes, but cream, white and light brown. When the after-Easter roll call was sounded Elva Denny, Gertrude Bellamy, Eric Cowie and Alex Grant were all able to answer "present."
