Home Show A Success Prof, Robert Langen, chairman of the urtiversity's art committee, said the centennial award was made to further artistic creativity during Canada's, centennial year "and we are also happy at the prospect of getting a fine piece of art for our campus." The fashioned strip of alumin- um. 10 feet high and set in a base. was the chosen winner of the WLU centennial sculpture award, in which sculptors from across Canada entered work. The work will remain in Mon- treal until Christmas, and will then go on tour in Saskatoon and Vancouver. But the ranks of those who 3oined up, many of them volun- teers. to face a common enemy in 1916, was rapidly thinning. Once 1.000 men, but now, many an old chum was missing.

All were athletes who played on the baseball and hockey team for the glory of the 118th. The hope, however, of once again seeing and talking things over with a buddy, one who had gone through that hell called war with him, prompted 1 mm imous vote to hold more ream- ions. As one said, "as long as there are nine or ten of us left, we shall go on meeting." Among the Tt who gathered. there were four men for whom this was a special occasion.

"Though we played hard with every intention of winning, sportsmanship was most import- ant," said Mr. Weichel, former MP for Waterloo North, "and this was the bases of our strong friendship.

Mr Preston Hols at lvasl one or two will likely be included III llu- [null interviews. Prior to the placing of adver.. tisements for applications, some members of council had express- ed a fear that Waterloo. being one of the smaller cities, would not be able to attract well-quali~ tied personnel. This has not been the case. in fact It turned out to be quite the opposite. To date, 32 applications have been received, one from as far away as California. Some were former area residents. All those interviewed stated that they were impressed with the future that such a position in this communi- ty has to offer. According to Durward Preston, city clerk, the administrative committee, which is conducting the first round of interviews with the applicants, expects to be able to reduce the number to four or live. These will then be interviewed by elected officials perhaps next Monday. The Ci y of Waterloo is in the enviable position of having an excess of applicants for the new post of industrial commissioner.
