"VOX NOSTRAE SCHOLAE" Perhaps the Latin phrase, "Vox Nostrae Scholae" peaked your curiosity and perhaps you are hazarding a glance at this column. If so, we take this opportunity to explain that this is last term's "CH.S. Notes" column under a new caption and plus of garnishing which we hope will make "Vox Nostrae Scholae" more interesting reading. Ju,st in case your Latin has grown slightly rusty, "Vox Nostrae Scholae" reads "The Voice of our 'School,' ^when translated into good old English It is always an auspicious occasion when the portals of the High School are thrown open for a new term. ™ pecially is this true for those who are making their debut as students within its portals. Enthusiasm is undamp-ened despite the fact that it means the end of summer holidays until another school year fleets to completion, and enthusiasm displayed on an opening day augurs well for the future. Students come, and students go, but schools will go on forever--at least until man releases his last hold on what he calls civilization. Some students falter under studies, others are forced through various circumstances to discontinue. On the other hand a good majority have the pleasure of pursuing studies up to matriculation and of stepping out into other branches of work. It is these latter whom the following paragraph concerns. Alex. Grant has enlisted for a three year course in the Royal Canadian Corps of Signals at Camp Borden. Bill Griffis is serving an apprenticeship in the parental drug store, preparatory to entering Ontario College of Pharmacy. Isobel Harnden is plan-ring to enter Peterborough Normal School. Elsie Ireland has a school at Maynooth, Gordon Philp near Havelock. Russell Haynes is planning to enter Peterborough Normal School. Jack Seed has a school near Cochrane. We might also state here that Dorothy and Jim Matthews have changed residence to Belleville. Further details concerning graduates may be forthcohring in another issue. On this page or in another page of this paper the advertisement for the High School concert to be held Sept. 13th, will be found. At the time of writing, (Sept. 3rd), characters for the play have been selected and preplans lead us to believe that this concert will most assuredly be up to the high standard set by former C. H. S. entertainments For full particulars please refer to the advertisement. Since this is a school column, a problem in mathematics wouldn't be out of place. Test your wits on the following problem in simple arith- If a cat and a half catch a rat and a half in a minute and a half, how many rats will two cats catch in one hour? Answer next week. Now for a bit of humour to wind up the column. This "boner" was taken from an actual examination paper--not in Colborne though. "Queen Elzabeth was one of the early English Queens who ived until she died; a good many others were murdered." CASTLETON BABY WINS PRIZE While Mrs. Clarke Pomeroy of Castieton was visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Armstrong, Belleville, she entered her six months' old bafoy daughter, Beverley Geraldine, in the baby contest at Belleville Fair and the little one ranked first.
