' THE GLEANER"
''The Last Yap''
You would think to look at our title that this was written by a tea- cher. Well, my advice is-qon't jum,p at conclusions. You can jump at any- thing else or off anything else, but don't jump at conolusions, it isnlt healthy. _ '
The contributors to this 1930 Year Book are many and before we finish we would like to mention some of them.
First comes Dr. C. W. Gordon of Winnipeg. Who is he? He is Ralph Connor and that ought to be enough explanatiqn for any Canadian. Dr. Gordon very kindly consented to write a few paragraphs for the Year Book when he visited our school, and the result is "The Two D's."
Next is "Dave" Williams. Mr. Wil- liams wrote that interesting article on "The History of Education in Collingwood." When "Dave" isn't writing short histories of the C.C.I. or helping High School editors un- tangle Year Books or piling up ex- hibits for the Huron Institute, he edits the Collingwood Bulletin and Saturday News.
Miss Helen Lunan, the author of the prize short story, "When the Lights Flickered" abides in Fourth Form. When Helen isn't winning Sh0rt Story contests she spends her time as Secretary of the Literary Society or translating Virgil.
"Burdock's Music Box" comes Helen comes from lB and if she from the pen of Miss Helen Carefoot. writes any more funny stories like that the manufacturer's of "Laugh- ing Gas" might as well pay thei.r d€bts and get into the publishing business.
Say, who's the Frenchman at the C.C.I.? Now what did I say about jumping at conclusions? He is not French, but - read our French page
a n d w o n d e r h p w Franc~sl H e i • , . v n g - ton learned it all. He wrote it when he had the measles, too!
Talking about these languages we must not overlook our Latin Page. This page was assembled by our well-known friend W. D. T. At- kinson. "Atty" needs no introduction to any of us.
Did you read that Student Council Page? "Shakes" Arthur wrote that. "Shakes" is a former editor of the Gleaner and was Secretary of the Student Council this year.
Poetry. Who writes poetry? That was once a burning question with ye editors hut it is all settled now. Who settled it? Well, take a peek at bur Poetry page and while you are looking we will answer our•. l;ast question. Mary Wiseman is the guilty party. Bill Newby and Fran- cis Herrington are Close seconds while Don Currie also ran (Don wrote a poem but we felt it was too good to print).
S a y do y o u k n o w o u r Busin~s Manager? Maybe you do and maybe ~-ou do not, but I think you will all agree that you know Bob Storey. George Shipley and John Madden backed him up on our business staff. Three cheers for the business staff who made our Y ear Book possible. One, two, three- whoop it up! and
while you are a,t thi's che.er- ing stuff let's give a yell for the girls who did all the typing for the Gleaner. There was a nile of work in that job and Miss Macdonald, helped by Mary Dean and Eleanor Hainey cleared it up as quickly as it came in.
Now it's getting late and time all growing editors should be in bed.
Yours, till the Year Book's pub- lished,
WALTER RICE,
E'ditor-in-chief.
