J. N. HUME (Principal)
~J7-indpaf'1. dll(e:s.1.a9e /f[\NCE again we welcome an edition of the school magazine, "The \1 1:1 Phoebus". This issue contains a very interesting account of the activities and accomplishments of the Leamington High School during the past school year. Early in the twenties the official publication of the school was called "The Moon" and its pages are well remembered by the graduates of that time. For several years, in the late twenties and early thirties, this school was without an annual year book but in 1933 publication was resumed and the name changed lo "The Phoebus". With the exception of the war years ii has been published in some form each year. The first editor was Mr. Albert Law and the standards and traditions established by Mr. Law and his assistants have been faithfully followed by the 1948 staff under the direction of the present editor, Jim Watson. The Phoebus Staff is to be commended for its untiring efforts and for the foresight in includinq the numerous and excellent pictures of the student body. This is a book in which all students will take pride and its value will increase as the> years rome and go. The Leamington High School, though very overcrowded with a pei:lk enrolment of 571 students, is endeavouring to provide a high standard of academic instruction and a full program of worthwhile activities. The heav·1 enrolment speaks for the popularity of our courses and the training we are providing. We are looking forward to the completion of new and adequate accommodations in the very near future.

Edito'l.ial
4JN compiling this magazine, we of the Phoebus staff have .- endeavoured to present to you a series of articles and pictures which will have increasing value in the years to come. The production of a magazine such as this entails a tremendous amount of work on the part of the editor and his staff. Success does not rest upon the ability of one person; it is based upon the co operation of the students as welJ. We are extremely fortunate in having a teaching staff which takes such an interest in the extra-curricular activities of the student body. This Phoebus is an excellent example of the close relationship which exists between the staff and the students. This is the best year for advertising that the Phoebus has ever had. We are indeed grateful for the enthusiasUc support given us on the part of the local merchants. Thanks to the assistance of Mr. Henry Fisher, we have been able to give you so many excellent pictures of student life. A good grade of picture adds a great deal to the success of a magazine. Although this publication is coming out a little later than we had originally planned, we hope that you will find it satisfactory and will place it among the numerous other treasures gained while .:!tending this school.

SENIOR COMPOSITION - First Prize WITH DEATH DIES HATRED Andrew Bradley was a venerable little man. He had been a bithiul employee of McNaughton and Smith, Publishers, London, England, for nearly thirty years now. Never complaining outwardly, and executing his clerical work patiently, he inwardly entertained a suppressed violent rage at the younger men who had entered the business with an education and had rapidly risen lo be his superiors, but, most of all, he hated his employer. As he sat at his desk, a plan began to form in his demented mind. He must teach these proud, insolent young men a lesson without allowing them to rectify any wrong they had committed against him. One by one, he became acquainted with them, entertained them at his bachelor apartment. for no woman would have him, ate his lunch with them and learned their habits. That wa.s his method, to learn their idiosyncrasies not too openly at first. so as not to give them any grounds to suspect him of an ulterior motive, and th E=m to strike hard and effectively. He must destroy all those who had had the audacity to accept a promotion, disregarding his seniority. The morning papers carried a startling story. Major, a young executive in the McNaughton and Smith firm, had been accidentally killed in a subway while waiting for his train after taking his nightly walk in downtown London. A little of the hate was gone from Andrew Bradley's eyes. The next few months brought three more deaths to the offices of a particular publishing company in London. One interesting suspect, common to all four fatalities, that was overlooked, was that all four had "accidentallv" diPd while OPrformina :=;ome i11!':1onif;c,mt habit to which they were accustomed. "A grissly coincidence!" London muttered. If one could have observed Andrew Bradley, one might have seen a little more of the hatred vanish from his eves after each death. A few weeks later, the general manager of his firm suffered a brutal attack. The assailant had fled, leaving a knife in his victim's groin. Little Andrew Bradley went to work as usual the next day. His eyes, now, were comoletely void of the burnina hate. A buzzer rang, summoning him into his employer's office. Automatically, he rose at the sound and went to enter the room. Suddenly, he stopped. J-lis thoughts pounded at his temples. This was ·not possible. Panic-stricken. he entered the room, where his senses fled al what he saw; the old look of hate returned. There were the five men he had murdered, wailing for him to join them in a business conference. He lurched forward. tripping on the rug as he went, and fell. An old man had died; with him had died a fiery look of hate. and a too vivid imagination, which had conjured up the sound of a buzzer and five apparitions. Tohn Turnbull, 13A. 10 Nineteen Forty-Eight PHOEBUS ~ (;"+,!) JUNIOR POEM - First Prize TWILIGHT The sun begins to hide in thf> weR!, The streaked sky's aglow, Then silently, eventually, The evening shadows qrow. A misty look approaches, It fills the fragrant air, The flowers all are closing, The world grows sliqhtly learP. When all is but a silhouette, The frees all tall and weird, The soft sweet calling of the birds, The day has disappeared. Then one by one the twinkling stars Shine through the pale gray eve, Then in and out the fire-flies Their mysterious pattern weave. --Joanne Rome, 9E. SENIOR POEM - First Pri:ze ETIQUETTE IN DISGUISE Two gossiping ladies, befurred and bejeweled. Cultured and probably privately schooled, Were strolling the street, arm linked in arm, And, outwardly, seemed lo be doing no harm; They were out for exercise (mostly of chin). What is the news? Well, lAt's listen in. "Heavens. there's Clara! Look at that hat! Too much lipstick, and hopelessly fat! Why must she always look like a hag? We just can·t possibly chat with the bag! Let's stop at this store to see the display. My goodness, she saw us! She's coming this way! "Clara. darling, how have you been? What is your method for getting so thin? Aren't we fortunate meeting you here? Really your hat is flattering, my dear! Like to join us. !or a friendly snack? What! You can't? You must hurry riqht back?" Clara apologized and continued by. Thank goodness she did, for she escaped a great sigh, 'Cause if she had joined them the pair would have wept. Isn't it lucky she couldn't accept? Two gossip ing ladies. relieved yet perturbed. Now strolled vainly onward, d iscussinq the third. "Clara's a terrible person to know. She's flattering; doesn't her jealousy show? She called us darling and praised your dress. Does she think we believed her? Definitely yes! Praise is so tiresome. but doesn't she love it! She looks like a million! Yes, every day of it!" Marie Will. 12A. 11 PHOEBUS Nineteen Forty-Eight C'+-!> - - - - ~ JUNIOR COMPOSITION - First Prize SUSPENSE The night was dark and stormy. The wind howled around the comers of the old, dark house, beating at the window, as if demanding to be let in. The trees in the yard were whipped by torrents of swishing rain, seeming to come alive, grasping and catching with their outstretched, tortured limbs any living thing daring to venture out on this evil night. This picture was impressed on the mind of the young man as he lay in his bed. He lay there, being tortured by evil, frightening thoughts pounding at his brain. He could not sleep. He lay rigid, willing himself to relax and to slumber, and failing. He kept remembering the story he had read only the night before. A story of cold-blooded, gruesome murder! He could picture the murder setting as the wind shrieked and blasted at his window. He could see a tall, bleak figure shrouded in black, creeping beneath the trees. The moon, shining for a frightened moment through billowing, racing groups of black war chariots roaring across the sky, shone on the advancing menace, showing in the gray, ghostly light, a long, sinister dagger, clutched in a scrawny, witch-like hand. Unexpectedly, the figure sneaked behind a tree, and was lost from sight of the voung man. Suddenlv, a piercing scream rang out! A shattering, nerve-wracking scream, which chilled the blood of the young man. He froze in his bed! Again came a scream, this time more urgent, more chilling than the first! And then quick relief and sanity, and more than a little self-disgust, ran through the young man as he heard the impatient voice of his wife saying, "John, won't you please get up and give Junior his bottle?" --Faye Hillier, l OA.

Every student of our school has the opportunity to 'stand in front of an audience and express what he or she might have to say. Our annual Public Speaking Contest was held in January of this vear, with Alpha, Beta, G»m'Tia, and Delta each entering eight contestants.

After the Glee Club's successful year of musical enterprise, we pay tribute to the pioneers of this inspiring organization, Mr. H. S. Cobbledick 0nd Miss V. Lowing. In 1943 they selected fifty students and trained them as the nucleus of the Glee Club. Through the years this club has flourished, and as the students passed through the halls of L.H.S. they have come to regard this club with a p9rsonal interest. More than this, students have found that their talents might be developed here by a more intimate study of music.

When Mr. Cobbledick s duties became increasingly heavy, Mr. Graham took over the training of these six+y-eight voices. The girls have given two well-rounded performances this season in assembly p'"ograms. Mr. Graham has many 1'lans for this enthusiastic club for thP f11t11re THE BAND Last year L.H.S. organized a brass band. Under Bandmaster Lougheed, students interested in band music had a chance lo develop their particular talents. With the present enrolment of twenty-seven members. the band offers indispensable service to our assemblies and to our cadet corps. Last term the band gave several enjoyable performances with our Cadet Corps and were of great assistance lo the r-adet.s. who had their own private difficulty in keeping step. THE DRUM CORPS Besides the band, there is another rapidly developing dub. This 1s L.H.S.'s Drum Corps.

These young girls are working very industriously lo attain perfection in their difficult routines. BUGLE CORPS At the November assembly, the brass band introduced to the students a bugle band. Although the bugles are composed only of a bugle mouthpiece, a long rubber hose and a tin funnel. they produce a sound similar to that of a real bugle. Twenty-six members practise every week, and are expected to take part in the 1948 cadet inspection. Mr. Lougheed is very pleased with the progress of this young club.

The members of our form have all participated actively in school activities. We have fourteen in the Glee Club, seven connected with band activities, and nineteen on house basketball teams. Fifteen of our class entered the public speaking contest, two of whom were finalists. Twenty-seven of our class were contestants in the fall Field Meet and we are proud to boast that lerry Brown of our form was the Junior boys' champion.

Following are a few of the incidents of special ir.terest to the class. We were sorry that Nancy Garris has left to live in California. Nancy was a loyal Beta, being a member of the Beta executive, a member of the Beta Junior basketball team, and the Junior school team. We presented her with a school pin joined to the year she left us-' 48. Fortunately for one of our more prominent members, Bill Burgess, the amount collected for Nancy exceeded the cost of the pin, and Jane Anderson and Juliet Cole generously presented him with a pen, a few pen nibs, and a small bottle of ink. Previously, Bill had persisted in writing his Latin class tests in pencil and Miss Galbraith, our form and Latin teacher, was forced to deduct one or more marks on each test. After writing several tests, Bill was rapidly reaching the low point of the year in class marks, but is now on his way to recovery. We regretted to hear of Beth Howe' s opPration for ;,ppendicitis. We gave her a basket of fruit to express our sympathy, and she returned a lovely thank you card. Sincere congratulations go to Jane Anderson of Alpha, who came up first in the Junior Public Speakinq Contest, and was runner-up as grand champion of the school. Honourable mention, too, to Joe Videki. Delta, and Jean Winger, also Delta, who reached the finals.

Anne was selected be cause her radiant personality and ability will surely carry her to the top. This year she is the captain of Gamma House. During the past two years she has been the spark plug of the Anne Fairbrother rchool basketball team. Twice during her h:gh school career she has carried home a silver cup as Field Day Champion. In future Anne plans lo attend university. Paul's mtural ability and pleasing personality naturally made him the students' choice.

Cadet Corps, one of the oldest corps in this Command, is ranked with the best corps. This is due to the esprit de corps that has been built up over the years by the co-operation between the officers, N.C.O.'s and other ranks. Each year, for the past four years, the corps has taken into its midst a platoon of senior public school students froil) the Ridge. This has been done to acquaint them with the fundamentals of cadet training prior to their admittance to High School. The corps has recently become a house function with each House p1 , ' · viding officers and men to form two platoons. We hope during the forthcoming Open House to demonstrate the various phases of Cadet training in which we are instructed. 54 rtv E, ht ---.
