Two Students Win K of C Scholarship
Two De La Salle students brought glory to their school during this time: “Two Oaklands Honour [sic] Matriculation students won each a scholarship from Knights of Columbus in the July examinations: Arthur J. Murphy and Arthur T. Coates. The scholarship is worth $100 a year for four years at Toronto University. The boys are only 16 years of age.”

Soaked Band Plays Holy Name Parade in Toronto
On September 27, at the request of the Archdiocese, the De La Salle College band (125 members) and the cadet officers travelled by special train from Union Station in Toronto to St. Catherine’s (Ontario) to lead the Diocesan Holy Name Parade in that city. The boys gave a grand account of themselves. After the parade, Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament was held in the open air, despite the rain. Following this, the band paraded to the Carmelite Sisters Hostel where they had a dinner served by the Sisters and the ladies auxiliary of the Holy Name Society. “The rain poured all evening; the boys got quite a soaking getting to the train, but as the train was heated no one caught cold on the way home.”
