was again elected president, but
he was swamped with other du-

time was strong enough to take
charge and the wv Club went
down, content to drift along and
take no action. The annual ban

were elected for the coming year.

one, poverty, no means of educa-

the other, wealth, influence, OPP

drill, you know, the first year we
had a company. We had the drills
indoors at that time, on the stage
of the Academy of Music. The
year we won the drill, Mr.. Sites,
our principal at the time, took the
whole company and the Eastern
girls who were there across the
street to Jarvis. Some of the
girls had sent up. for the win

daisies, which we put on the table.

had posted IN Business High
School two different sets of ex
hibits, prepared by the United
States Public Health Service, de
signed to instruct in caring fol
the health.
These exhibits, in the form Of
posters, were different for boy.
and girls, and a personal letter
was sent to parents of High
School children informing them
of the nature of the plans.
KEEPING FIT"
Physical training was stressed
by these exhibits, the tirle Of one
prepared for the boys being Keep
ing Fit" Much interest was dis
played in the showing # the
posters, and one immediate result
is expected to be evidenced by a
larger number of boys reporting
for the athletic teams in the high
schools.
At the beginning of this school

intention of making thIs year q

AS a result of this pledge greater

At Central every one of the more
than 5000 students enrolled are
required to take some form of
physical exercise, unless excused
for some valid reason. Even the
members Of the senior class. num-
bering nearly 500. though they
have had physical training all dur
ing the course, were required to
enroll. This program is unprece-
dented.
"YOUTH AND LIFE"
Girls had the opportunity to get
some health hints from the series
of posters entitled Youth and
Life" The hundreds OF prominent
girls enlisted in basketball hockey
and other sports Immediately en-.
couraged their friends TO take
more physical culture.
The national success which has
attended the exhibition CT these
health service posters was the
main reason for their introduction
In local schools.
It is expected and hoped every
school will receive the Gets snir
From the interest displayed in
them, the authorities a-e confident
their efforts for promoting health
will be justified.
The letter addressed to the
parents Of the school children
reads:
