So much so, in fact, that It makes rr___ \i n him "rather wistful". This was the rdH3r-f Nurses Represent opinion of J. B. Priestley, British author, on his return to England. Mr. Priestley had been in the south- material for an- already written "The Good Companions" and "Angel Pavement." The grandeur and wildness of Canadian scenery, particularly on the railway journey through the Rocky Mountains, Impressed Mr. Priestley very deeply. He found the people, too, likeable and more Interested in good reading than those south of the .boundary. Mr. Priestley names Willa Gather as the best American novelist, de- claring definitely that he believed her to be superior to Sinclair Lewis, recent winner of the Nobel Prize. He spoke highly of the works of Mazo de la Roche, Canadian writer, Kingston General Hospital School. The gold medal for the highest standing in the senior year waa won by Miss Priscilla Dodd, Orillla, who also won the Board of Governors' prize for the highest standing In the senior year. Miss Vonnle MacMartin, of Finch, was the winner of the silver medal for second highest standing In the senior year and Miss tedlth Bailey won the intermediate class prize.
