"Vox Nostrae Scholae" Perhaps you weren't aware that an amateur contortionist has been unearthed at C. H. S. It's a fact, and if Victoria Opera House is graced by your presence on the night of Sept. 13th, you'll see this young gentleman strut his- stuff in conjunction with the athletic" exhibition which is part of the program on that night We might mention that this is x>nly one of the appetizing items on the entertainment menu, and if you, dear reader, will stick with this column for another paragraph or s run through a brief summary of the program. The School has been extremely fortunate in securing the Honourable Iva Campbell Fallis, newly appointed Canadian Senator, as guest speaker for the occasion. The Honourable Iva Campbell Fallis, a graduate of C.H.S. will, of course, not be known personally by present H. S. pupils, but undoubtedly there are graduates who will be glad to renew acquaintances. In addition to the aforementioned, the C.H.S. orchestra is scheduled to serve up the musical entertainment. The play, "Trifles," by .Susan Glaspell is in the hands of capable student Thespians, and you may rest assured that they will handle their parts as skillfully as have former pupils, who have participated in amateur theatricals at C.H.S. entertainments.' Despite the fact that the time for practice is con)isderably shorter in comparison with former years, the quality of the program will not be impaired one little bit. Some of the items on the program can only be presented by such an organization as a School, and as a School in your community it deserves the wholehearted support that has been .liberally tendered on former occasions. The annual election of ofifcers and torm representatives for the Literary Society was held on Friday, September 6th, 1935. The following officers And representatives were elected: President--Douglas Farrell VicerPresident--Margaret Peebles j Secretary--Marion Drumm Treasurer--Gordon Adams -Representatives--■ Form IV--Norma Arkles, Elson Grant. Form III--Dora Davis, Mac Pet-tibone. Form II--Norma Bell, Ford Cowie "Form I--Edna Arkles, Jack Ker-naghan. In last week's column we promised some further information regarding graduates. Just to make sure that we don't overlook our promises our amateur sleuth has been working overtime and brings the following bit of information concerning two of our graduates: Jessie Mutton, now residing in Cobourg, is planning to enter Toronto Normal School, and Marion ' Olmstead has had he application for Peterboro Normal School accepted. Just to get your mind off impending wars and whatnot, get out your alarm clock and solve this problem. H the hands of a clock are at right angles when they are at 3 o'clock, at what time are they next at right angles? The answer to last week's problem is 80 rats. We took the liberty of lifting this "howler" from "Nostrae Scholae" of a C. H. S. school paper of 1932: "Gooseberries are grapes that need a suave."- Lieutenant-Governor To Visit Carrying Place The first attempt to clear up the province and render it suitable for healthy settlement was made at the Carrying Place on the 23rd of September, 1787, when representatives of the Canadian Government and of the Indians met at the Carrying Place and signed a Treaty by which the Indians released their title to the lands from the Bay of Quinte to the River Etobicoke west of Toronto. The peaceful manner in which this momentous result was accomplished indicates the just and equitabble mehods employed by the Canadians in dealing with the Indian inhabitants. His Honour Colonel Dr. Bruce, Lieutenant-Governor of the Province, will pay a visit to the Carrying Place on Monday afternoon, September to participate -in the Celebration commemorating this famous "Gun Shot" Treaty. There were some 600 Indians present on that occasion to meet the representatives of the Canadian Government.

Representatives of the churches and 1 branches of industry, including e Indians will be present and participate in the exercises. Representatives of York Pioneers, Quinte Pioneers, U. E.
