The Argosy, 1938

This is a 1938 school magazine (Volume Six of *The Argosy*) from a Canadian institution (Hamilton area). The contents list includes editorials, short stories, poetry, book reviews, alumni notes, and sections on athletics, music, drama, and humor. Two editorials by students appear: Elsie Hayward's "The Longest Way 'Round" argues against academic shortcuts, urging readers to pursue knowledge thoroughly rather than seek rapid diplomas; Herbert Le Van's "True Success" begins discussing ideals and characteristics of success but is cut off in the OCR. The magazine includes extensive class photographs, teams (rugby, hockey, basketball, water polo), and a theatrical production cast ("Penitent Pirates"). The contents are student-authored, with editorial and business staff listed. Additional OCR captures an index of local Hamilton advertisers—schools, pharmacies, hardware stores, shoe retailers, restaurants, and appliances—and Westinghouse refrigerator and Eaton's department store advertisements.
