Tho’ joyfully you lay your tools away For younger hands to stern the gath’rmg rust, And relegate your textbooks to the dust, Then lift your eyes to the approaching Day; Erstwhile with aimless feet you once more stray Along familiar halls because you must Delay the coming severance with just A faint nostalgic heart-pang of delay. Live now in moments these fast-treasured years, Then with taut shoulders, leaving all behind, Seeing in dreams the Future yet unf urled, Too young to foster dark, defeating fears, Bastioned with Skill, the keen inquiring Mind, Take up the sterner challenge of the World! Vo the Gn duatel ms This issue of The Balfour Beacon is dedicated to you in recognition of your contributions to our school life and in appreciation of your fine school spirit. Many of you have given freely of your time and talents to make Balfour a school to be remembered with pride. You have played your parts well on the athletic field, in the classroom, and in the many activities which are associated with a modern high school. Balfour will remember you with gratitude. Balfour, in its turn, has given a great deal to you. It has afforded opportunities to obtain a sound and liberal high school education. It has enabled you to explore many fields of study in art, industry and commerce. It has allowed you to become acquainted in a real sense with the industrial and commercial world about you. Some of you will enter a university to pursue courses in arts, commerce and the applied sciences. Others will seek positions in commercial and industrial spheres. As you leave Balfour you will take with you a diploma as evidence of your achievements. This diploma will be your passport to opportunities which lie ahead. What does this passport signify? Of course it certifies that you have accu¬ mulated a fund of knowledge from the great fields of literature, history, mathematics, science, the commercial and industrial arts. It indicates that you have developed specific abilities and skills in the use of this knowledge. It may signify that you have developed the most important and abiding by-products of learning—good habits, worthwhile interests, wholesome attitudes, high and noble ideals. Such is our hope. Today, as never before, all nations of the world need men and women of good¬ will and noble character. With atomic power within our reach, the important thing is to apply science to man’s welfare and not, as in the past, to his destruction. Of this we must be sure. World leaders, in these difficult times, carry heavy responsibilities. They are the custodians of things spiritual and material which make up our present civilization. Our future way of life and all it means to generations yet unborn is in their hands. Graduates of Balfour! Give worth} ' leaders your unqualified moral support. Assist in every way you can those agencies which are trying to achieve a lasting peace. As loyal citizens of the world, may you play a worthy part in accom¬ plishing the overthrow of hatred, bitter¬ ness and distrust, and the triumph of understanding, love and faith. Our congratulations and sincere good wishes go with you. T. H. COWBURN. Balfour Beacon ’48 Page 8 Zdito-fiial Pacj,e by DON MUNRO Like the swell of some sweet tune Morning rises into noon, May glides forward into June. . . . and with the passing of June another school year draws to a close. To the students of Balfour Tech the inevitable June 30th will be approached with diverse feelings. Yet all will have one thing in common—friendships shared and happy memories stored away. Undergrads will rejoice in a long two-months’ holiday with carefree hours instead of text books, regulations, and studies. But to the graduates the end of this school year forces them to decisions which are the culmination of much serious thought. A few will merely mark it down as a success¬ ful completion of another milestone in their education—the closing of one door that they may open others that will eventually lead to the more specialized fields of endeavour. To the majority, however, it means that the time has come for them to make their own way in the world. And what a world! To the graduating class, the familiar ring of the words “Now, I am on my own ” carries a challenge to youth far more exacting than ever before. Formal victory in the Second World War has been ours since August 14th, 1945, yet surely those words “In victory we have defeat’’ were never more apparent than today. We are in a world engulfed in racial hatred, greed, civil war, poverty, hunger, disease, and moral degradation. China and Greece are ravaged by open civil war; the assassination of Mohandas Gandhi has fermented anew strife between Moslem and Hindu; Arab and Jew are engaged in bitter conflict over the recent United Nations’ decision to partition the Holy Land. Disease, famine, and unem¬ ployment are now the rulers of Europe and any attempt by the Allied Nations to remedy the existing conditions is being systematically and dogmatically forestalled by Russia. Into this chaos, this misnomer of the phrase “victory with peace” the graduates are being thrust. The world today sorely needs youthful minds with determination and ambition to inject reviving life-blood in the form of new ideas, fresh strength, courage and restored faith into this turmoil. For this necessary dynamic force the nation must look to our high schools and universities. It is up to those of us who are the graduates of 1947-48 to see that the appeal of our nation is not made in vain. We must take our turn in sharing the responsibilities already carried too long on older shoulders. The burden of leader¬ ship with its various demands is to be borne by Youth with hopes not as yet dulled by failure and fatigue. So, as you turn over these pages and scan the familiar faces, look closely, for you see before you the “Leaders of Tomorrow.” 7a Qua AdasAtiAeAA We are very grateful to the business firms who so generously contributed to our annual. Their prompt and courteous response to our solicitation for advertising is greatly appreciated. You, the students of the Balfour Technical School, can further show your appreciation by patronizing our adver¬ tisers every time you buy. % JU Beacon Stall Team play makes the world go round, and without such co-operation between the members of the Beacon staff, this publication would not have been possible. The willing assistance of our advisers has been invaluable. To them we are sincerely thankful! May we also express our appreciation to every student who has in any way assisted in the completion of this annual. Your work was not in vain—you may be justly proud of the part you have played.

' be.M.tatwe Gauticil In the spring of 1047 the Students’ Representative Council decided to have elections for president and vice president then, so as to give the council an early start for the next year. Candidates’ names were submitted to an election committee and the four who were nominated for the two important offices were: for president- - Alan Bell and Bill Ballantine; for vice president—Ella Heck and Don Borys. Each candidate made two speeches in the auditorium; one for the morning school and the other for the afternoon school, so that the students could get a good look at the aspiring politicians. When the votes had been counted Bill Ballantine and Don Borys were the President and Vice President for the following year. Time came for us to return to school and the nucleus of our council was ready to start organizing for the year’s work. After school had been in full swing for about one month, notices were sent around to the different rooms and the complicated process of getting the form and club representatives had started to function. The members of the council, as the representatives of student body, sponsor clubs, athletics, the drama night anrl the operetta. Besides keeping the form or club up to date on the activities in the school, the representatives get a good education which will be very valuable to them as citizens of Canada. Democratically elected, the council decides the policies of the school, as well as the projects the students will enter during the year. Success or failure of these progra ms depends on the student body as a whole. Support your clubs, operetta and any campaign sponsored by the council because these extra-curricular activities give a great variety of activities for you to choose from and to show your hidden talents. It is your privilege as a student of the Balfour Technical School to take part in these activities. There may be some doubt in some minds as to the educational value of these clubs and activities in the school, but their popularity with the students is sufficient to overcome any actual opposi¬ tion. They encourage the best in the students and teach them self-direction, dependability and originality. The informal running of these clubs enables the shy members of our school to work and talk about things they enjoy. With their chosen staff sponsor, the clubs rise to greater accomplishments every year. As a servant reports to his m aster, the president of the student council makes his report to the student body in the annual issue of The Balfour Beacon. Purring on all cylinders the machinery of the Students’ Council began to roll at the organization meeting on September 22. It was just a trial run without any records smashed. One lap was completed however, the formation of a nominating committee, which was to submit names for the remaining offices on the executive. The elected executive which keeps the council running smoothly was as follows: President—Bill Ballantine, Vice President - Don Borys, Secretary—Anne Bresciani. Social Director—Hector Lawlor, Publicity Director—Alan Bell, Properties Manager —Doug Horan. Later in the year when Hector Lawlor left school, Paul Ursaki very capably took over the position of Social Director. The three staff advisers, Mr. Campbell, Mr. Flegg and Mr. Quarry, are the sparks that ignite our desire to get things accomplished. Four dances were held previous to the Christmas Holidays, the Freshies’ Fling, Rugby Prom, Witch Prom and the Christmas Dance. They were all great successes socially as well as financially. A bouquet of roses goes to the following individuals and groups for the work they did during the year: First—Joanne Seed and the taggers she got for the Legion’s Annual Poppy Day, and to those who sold the poppies in the school. Second—to the Glee Club, Orchestra, Mr. Rumbelow, and Miss Tufts for working so hard on the Operetta “CHONITA”. It was a great show and we are proud of all those who took part. Third—to the Drama Club for that swell Drama Night you put on. We wish you the best of luck in the Drama Festival. Fourth—to all those who worked so hard to give us those swell issues of “The Balforum.” Fifth—to the committee set up to help raise the $1,000 for Aid to European Children. The main objectives for the Students ' Council this year will be: 1. To put over the $1,000.00 Aid to European Children Campaign whose plight was so well described to us by Mr. John Fisher. 2. To draw up a constitution for the Students’ Council showing its duties to the school and to the student body. 3. To make a good start on the memorial to the students of Balfour Technical School who served during World War Two. Adding a short personal note, I would like to thank all the members of the Students’ Council, the members of the student body and of the staff who worked hard to make my job a pleasure. I will long remember my year as President of the Students’ Council and I wish the best of luck to the councils of the future. BILL BALLANTINE, President. Gambia Shy Alice Rumpel, IB.

Nominations from each Collegiate are sent to the Department of Education where a committee selects the winners. Awards are based on scholarship, leader¬ ship, athletics, conduct, and attendance. Won by Ken Porterfield University of Saskatchewan Scholarship Valued at $100 is awarded in each collegiate to the grade twelve or senior matriculation student who attains the highest marks. This scholarship may be used at Regina College or The University of Saskatchewan. The selection of the winner is made by the staff. Won by John Corkis Board of Trade Prize Originally given fifteen years ago by the Junior Chamber of Commerce to a graduate of the Commercial High School who, in his or her first year after leaving school, was considered by the staff and businessmen to have had the most successful year. The prize is now 7 awarded to the grade twelve commercial student on the basis of scholarship and contri¬ bution to student activities. Won by Helen Masinick Kinsmen Club of Regina Prize Was started in 1936 but was discon¬ tinued during the w 7 ar. It is a gold watch awarded to the grade eleven student who has shown the most commendable record in character, perseverance, leader¬ ship, school activities and scholarship. Won by Violet Jean McLeod I.O.D.E. Prize This prize originated when a group of ladies in trying to present a play, could lind no one to build a stage, so they constructed it themselves. Thus, they saw a need for inducing young men to learn carpentry. They award annually a $50 scholarship to the third year student in woodworking for the most meritorious record. It is for Balfour Technical .Students only. Won by Jack McArter Gyro Medal This medal has, for eight years, been awarded to the grade twelve student on the recommendation of the staff. It is awarded for character, leadership, and distinguished service to the school. The Gyro Club gives one medal to each collegiate in the city to encourage the development of these traits in students. Won by Joe Petreny Proficiency and Merit Awards Twenty-two such awards are available to students in all grades and are based on accomplishment during the year. Fifty Dollars is supplied by thp Collegiate Board and Fifty Dollars is supplied by the Staff. Girls are presented with a small, silver Louis XV spoon with “Balfour” inscribed on it. The boys receive a specially designed tie clip. Class Pins are awarded in all grades by the Collegiate Board to all students who receive at least 80 per cent, average on two sets of examinations.

That is what Kenneth Spencer, the well-known Negro bass- baritone, described as the most important factor in a singing career, during the pleasant interview which followed his recital for Balfour Technical Students on Friday, February 13. Born in Los Angeles, Mr. Spencer’s musical career began when he was a member of his high school glee club which appeared at school programs and at functions of the Lions and Kiwanis Clubs. His real study was started when Mr. Spencer was fifteen years old. He con¬ tinued at the Hisman School of Music. Also a graduate of the Milligan University, Mr. Spencer’s extraordinarily deep voice was often appreciated by American servicemen at U.S.O. Canteens during the war. He sang over the N.B.C. for three years and has starred in the popular motion picture films, “Showboat” and “Cabin in the Sky”. At present, Mr. Spencer is on a tour from Alaska and it was on his way through to New York that Reginans and especially the students of B.T.S. were able to enjoy this talented singer. Mr. Spencer’s program here consisted of music in a lighter vein. The story of Cap’n Mac and Oh No, John were mischievous ballads in which the broad- shouldered, stately young man’s panto¬ mime motions were effective. Mr. Melvin Owens, accompanist, took the spotlight for a few moments when he offered two diffi¬ cult arrangements—Fire Dance by DeFalla and Schumann’s Romance. The climax of the program was reached when, on the insistence of his audience, Mr. Spencer sang 01’ Man River. There’s No Hiding Place Down There concluded the recital. Yes, Mr. Spencer, if your outstanding career is chiefly the result of constant practice, your time has not been spent in vain. This has been proven over and over again by the acclaim of the thousands of people for whom you have sung. The students of Balfour Technical Schooi graciously give you their thanks for your enjoyable recital—they also wish to to extend to you, their sincere wishes for your continued success as one of the outstanding baritones of our time.

Auditorium cMujltliCfkU . . . flotur fynltesi (lejiarUd, The chalk and erasers that boys in Canadian schools throw across their classrooms would represent wealth to children in Prague, Brussels and Paris. These innocent war-victims are starving for food, food of body and of mind, said John W. Fisher, internationally known C.B.C. commentator, to Balfour Techni¬ cal Students. Mi-. Fisher spoke in the auditorium on Friday, February 21, on behalf of the Food for Children of Europe campaign. Fie spoke of Hanna, a twelve year-old girl and her brother who is eighteen, and how they had walked three hundred miles to their native town of Warsaw only to learn that it was so badly destroyed, they could not find their home. The government would have cared for them in an institution but these children were determined to have a home of their own. They have a home now—a clammy cellar furnished with the meagre necessities of one stove, one bed and a few pots and pans. The pathetic story of nine-year old Italo Grandi was told by our speaker. Two years ago, dried milk from Canada kept this orphan alive after a bomb explosion resulted in the loss of both his arms and his eyes. Medical authorities, after an examination, stated that the lad might have been another Einstein. Now, Italo Grandi, determined to read one day, is learning Braille with his nose and tongue. The spirit of the European people is not dead, said Mr. Fisher. During the war, schools taught nothing but Hitlerism and now the twisted minds of the children must be straightened—unless they soon receive something tangible from demo¬ cratic countries, they will turn to anyone —good or bad—for help. That tangible help must come from the countries who, except for the Atlantic Ocean, might be in the same misery today, continued Mr. Fisher. Canada is rich and able to produce food over and above her own needs. Inflation has such a strong grip on Europe that it is not sufficient for Canada to just send over food. That food must be marked “paid” first. In this way the European govern¬ ments may distribute this food to every¬ one, rich and poor alike. This is the reason why Canadians are asked to give one day’s pay. Regina, Mr. Fisher concluded, has always reached her objec¬ tive in Victory Loans. He is confident that she will do it again. Charlie Ilsley strengthened Mr. Fisher’s opinions of Regina and Balfour Technical students when he told him that B.T.S. students have set $1,000.00 as their objective in this campaign. Mr. Fisher can be sure that this amount will be mst and passed—Tech did it before for China— it can do it again for Europe. The program was conducted entirely by students. Alan Bell was chairman. Charlie Ilsley introduced the speaker and Nina Emerson thanked Mr. Fisher for his visit and address. A committee of students was set up to handle the Appeal on Behalf of Children. The objective set was $1,000. At the time of going to press it appeared that the objective would be easily reached. Form 2G was setting the pace. Bnyant 0 ' iG.ta ' uf, The Bryant Oratory Contest received an enthusiastic response from the student body this year. The school was well represented by six contestants from Grades 11 and 12. The judges were very pleased with the high literary content evident in the speeches as well as the obvious effort on the part of the contestants to make an audible delivery. Mr. Flegg, spokesman for the judges, remarked at the difficulty they had in arriving at a decision. First place was given to Ken Farmer for his speech “If The Marshall Plan Fails . . . .” Other contestants were Douglas Horan, “Aftermath of a Struggle”; Shirley Clarke, “The C.G.I.T.”; Glen Sage, “Scientific Achievements of Today and Tomorrow”; Shirlemae Grain, “Modern Education”. Nina Einerson was awarded runner-up for her speech “Problems of the Peace” which won favorable comment from the judges.

In other words the aim of education is the knowledge not of facts but of values”. Graduation, the fulfilment of four years of training toward this goal, marks a formal climax in a student’s career. How important that this event be marked by dignity and seriousness! In the Balfour Technical School, Graduation Exercises, complete with diploma, highlight this occasion. The Valedictory address, of great interest to everyone, is prepared and delivered by one of the graduates. The good wishes of outsiders are conveyed by a guest speaker, with a message of encouragement for all. Such an evening gives the feeling of “putting one on one ' s own”. Perhaps this, more than anything else, is the great lesson of Graduation. The following evening is intended to be an outlet for the suppressed feelings of celebration produced by a sense of accomplishment. The banquet and dance in the luxurious surroundings of the Hotel Saskatchewan does just that. Formal attire is again worn and corsages are the order of the evening. The boys do not dress formally, but they do wear their best bib and tucker! During the banquet there are toasts and sing-songs thoroughly enjoyed in an atmosphere of festivity. The dance which follows provides a gay time for all. That is one night when you join in a great camaraderie—you know ' everyone and everyone knows you. Prior to the arrival of graduates and guests, a busy committee prepares place cards, favors, flowers and candles, to add to the tang of excitement. All these things leave an impression that stays with one throughout life. These are the things we cherish and look back upon after the facts we laboured over have been long since forgotten and gone.

Chalmer Shoeman: This man made an astounding statement—“my present interest is school.” He plans to work as an electrician. Now, a pun—No doubt about it, there’s a shocking life ahead of him. Erica Rosinquist: Erica is slightly mysterious but from observation she w r orks hard and people like that usually succeed.

One of the most frequented rooms in the school is the library. The reason is obvious—it has a varied and fascinating collection of books, which include every¬ thing from Chaucer to the Atom ' c Bomb.

The response was excellent. Prizes were offered for literary effort. Two firsts were awarded in the poetry class because the judges could not decide on the winning entry. Two other awards were made, one for the best essay, and one for the best short story. To those students whose work won favorable comment from the judges, an “honourable mention” was given. The Beacon Staff offers its heartiest congratulations to the winners, and a word of encouragement to all other contestants. —EDITOR. FIRST PRIZE Suniei A picture of glory, of rapture I se� ; A gold Haze in heaven—a sky symphony. There’s gold like hot fire and Hue sapphire cool. And purple, as dark as the depths of a pool. I gaze■—my eyes tire and sting at the strain, But sight must embed this scene in my brain. I have just a moment before it is gone; Can I in that moment make beauty live on? Dusk dampens day’s glory, the sun sparks now fled And that sacred sunset lies withered and dead. That glory’s escaped me! 1 yearn for my loss And feel lone as the leaves that cold night breezes toss. I want consolation—for comfort I long, To soothe my sad spirit. hear it—a song! There, bright in the heavens — proud, shining on high Ten thousand stars carol, “Cod’s l eauly can ' t die.” —Trudy Woldrich 3A fycjiineAA. In the first place, what does “ugliness” mean? By consulting the dictionary you will find a definition something like this— “lacking in beauty; unfavourable; unde¬ sirable.” How many of us lack beauty, not only in outward appearance, but in the mind. It is therefore evident that ugliness not only refers to the realistic things in life, but to a much more superior class—your mind, your thoughts, your own attitude toward others. Ugliness in that sense of the word often becomes very involved as well as pestilent and infectious to yourself as well as to your kin. How many of us suffer from the ugliness of bearing defiance, malevolence, abusive¬ ness in our minds? That in itself is ugliness. We may say “Oh! how utterly ugly she looks!”—that isn’t ugliness, it is misfortune, and misfortune is not ugliness. How incriminating to hear words like that coming from someone who never knew misfortune. Wouldn’t it have been wiser to hear, “It’s a shame she is so unfortunate,” flowing from the lips of someone who understands? It is ugly to wish a misfortune on someone due to a mere burning jealousy. So many of us say without thinking, “I wish she was dead!”—oh how ugly that sounds! We may not be alive to the fact, but others sense the ugliness that is rooted deep within our minds. Love, beauty, and understanding can so often be marred by ugliness, and what a shame that is! Hurt, want, fear, and defiance are a form of a disagreeable dwelling in our minds, so let us not be sceptical in choosing the better; the grandeur of love, the splendor of under¬ standing, and create in our minds benevo¬ lence, so purging ugliness from our systems. Remember—outside ugliness does not exist; it is the inward ugliness that hurts! —Dora Siemens 3B in the IVaadd. With great eagerness Mary and I set out to look for the wild Spring flowers in the woods. There were fantastic sights, and beautiful things to see, and soon we found ourselves wandering near and far, for something new to explore. Mary sighted a bunch of beautiful daffodils, and called for me to come. I thought I would play a trick and hide on her. She continued to call; soon her voice grew fainter and fainter. 1 came out of my hiding place, feeling very proud of myself for playing such a trick . . . but horrors! Mary wasn’t there. Thinking she was hiding on me, I began wandering on very nonchalantly. So many tilings caught my attention that I forgot I was alone. I suddenly realized however, that it was turning dark, and that no one was with me in this darkening forest of trees. I called and called but to no avail, for all I heard was my echoing answer. Frightening! Then, in this hush of evening, I heard faint voices. It sounded like the wind, then like a ghost moaning, then weird sounds seemed to come from all around. My imagination was beginning to work overtime. I began to run through the woods. . . . Hands seemed to grab, and I struggled to get free. An owl overhead in the trees shrieked and I shrank against the tree for support. With very weak knees, I ventured on. From out of the darkness lights appeared, and I fell among some bushes to hide from them. Men held the lights, I knew, and I was positive they were after me. It seemed as if a miracle had happened for at last I heard my father’s voice calling my name. I ran to him with a cry of joy for at last I was safe and secure in his arms. —Joyce Bloomquist 4B FIRST PRIZE Myitic. 7ilxet Stillness, deep as Buddha’s clarions, Hushed, dark shadows lying prone: Dust untouched for countless eons Coats the carved and polished stone.

He stopped at intervals to greet his friends, Mr. and Mrs. Lovebird, the newlyweds; old Gramp Owl; Mrs. Bear, Junior Cub, and his best friend Baby Fawn. He left the path and skipped lightly over the cool grass. As he neared some small shrubs, he stopped abruptly. “What is that? Why it sounded like a sob” Bugs crept nearer. “ Yes, it is someone crying. Now who could be crying on this sunny Spring day?” Bugs wondered. “Who is it?” called Bugs. The sobbing did not subside, but continued. “Come out. I want to help you.” There wasn’t any reply. Bugs stepped into the shrubs, and to his utter amazement, he saw his friend, Stripey Skunk. “Stripey, why a re you crying?” Bugs inquired. “I can’t tell you-—you won’t under¬ stand,” was the woeful reply. But Bugs persisted. “How do you know; you haven’t given me a chance.” There was a pause, then Stripey shyly answered “Well, er—ah. I—” After stuttering and stammering, he gathered all his courage, and blurted Page 44 Balfour Beacon ’48 forth his unhappy tale. “Some of the people of Woodland have been avoiding me lately. I thought at first, that it was my imagination—but last night I went to the Country Lane Dance, and everyone refused to dance with me. You know what a swishy rug-cutter I am. Not only that, but this morning in church no one would sit near me. After services, I greeted several people, but everyone shunned me. Please, what is the matter with me?” Bugs began, very embarrassed: “I wouldn’t say this if you weren’t a good sport, and I didn’t know you as well as I do ” “Come on, spill it,” Stripey urged, “ I can’t feel any worse than I do now.” “Well” Bugs stated, “The truth is- well-er-” Stripey knew. “You mean I’ve got ' -- oh my gosh!

How lovely the morning early at seven — Loveliness framed by the Artist of heaven, A white wonderland of soft snow and frost A tonic for feelings mixed up and lost. Crystal-tipped treetops bathe in the blue, Slim silver branches are reaching up, too, Embraced by the touch of the yet-falling snow, Warmed by the breath of that heavenly flow. The tall lovely maples so slender and white Carry their burden so graceful and light, The delicate branches are prettily flattered With glistening jewels attractively scattered. The willows and soft woods bend lowly their heads Their slenderness curved with thick-frosted threads, The laden-down fir trees so heavy with snow Stand radiant and proud of their glorious show. The earth beneath one is not earth at all, But a white wisp to dance on—never to fall, 1 ' he grey blue above growing light with the sun Is the snowflakes’ playground, perfect for fun. As they softly descend to enfold the white lane There comes the dim whistle of a hoar-frosted train; Still peaceful this scene clad in fairy-like lace Creates a glorious picture of beauty and grace. —Dorothea Kirschbaum 3A HONOURABLE MENTION In Jdotenin ' io-ui £n fCUfement Rintp How proud I was! Everyone who came into the Jewelry store, glanced casually around, until their eyes came to rest on me. Some were kind, generous eyes, some filled with envy; and some were greedy and cold. I was certainly not very fond of the latter. But I still lay in my beautiful gold case, lined with velvet, and no one had wanted me, (a lovely, sparkling, Diamond Ring) enough to buy me for such an unheard-of price. Whenever a prospect began to seriously think of buying me, my greedy little master would craftily and quickly ask them to return at a later date. When the later date arrived, of course, the price had increased considerably. And so life went on for three years of happiness and disappoint¬ ment. Happy because 1 made others happy with hopes that I would some day belong to them, and sad because I had filled other people’s hearts with envy and hurt. But gradually my master became more and more fond of money, and found he could wait no longer. So, when a little, old, bald-headed man came in to purchase me one morning I was wrapped up in a beautiful white box (which reminded me of a coffin) and I was sold. I thought my trip would never end, but finally I found myself in a large stone mansion, which seemed to lack none of the luxuries of the world. That evening a wonderful ball was held, with one hundred guests in soft, flowing gowns in attendance. The music was sweet and soft, and beautiful women and ugly women, danced on the polished floor with black-coated stiff men. At the stroke of midnight, I was placed on the third finger of a tall, thin woman who already wore too much jewelry. She heard none of her fiance’s words—nor her father’s—but gazed at me with cruel wicked eyes, scrutinizing my beauty, but I could not tell if she was satisfied. And as time went on, I knew the dull monotony of an unhappy life in a wealthy surrounding. I went to all the balls, I went to boring, constant society meetings, I went to banquets, and numerous other social gatherings. And always I remained on the third finger of my greedy mistress ' s left hand. Finally I went to my mistress’s wedding, and great joy filled my heart the moment a beautiful Wedding Ring came to live beside me. One day my friend and I were removed and placed in my gold box on the cabinet, while our mistress had her nails manicured. Suddenly, shrieks were heard from the housekeeper, and a sickening, thick smell of smoke drifted to my nostrils! The whole mansion seemed to cry out for help, and I knew instantly that fire was sweeping through the building. I never saw my mistress again, and I knew she would make no attempt to save my friend and me, but rather make sure she was safe! Scorching, terrible flames licked the gold case in which my companion and I huddled so closely together in fear. The heat was deadening, and finally I passed out from lack of oxygen. We remained in murky darkness for what seemed to be years and years, and 1 later found out we had been in the rubble of the mansion. One day, and for several succeeding days, there was a loud clamour of noises, and sharp commands of men working laboriously to clear away the remains. A sharp little childish cry was heard, and I felt myself being lifted up. The box opened up, while rich, warm sun¬ light flooded around us. We were taken to a tiny, humble cottage, in a poor but happy section of the city. From there we were taken to a “Lost and Found” shop, spending several months there. Then one day ou r little finder was called and told to take us home. Home—to the humble little cottage. His loving, gentle hands placed us carefully in his little bedroom cup¬ board, and he came to look at us every day. His Mother and Father, poor as they were, would not allow us to be pawned, and so we remained until the boy grew to be a tall, noble gentleman. One fine summer day I was taken from my friend, and once again was placed on the third finger of a left hand. But this time the hands were large and soft and generous. Hands that knew hard work, and hands that had helped many a weary soul. And the owner of them had the same good qualities as her future husband. Not long after, my friend, the Wedding Ring, came to join me in a small, cheerful wedding at a tiny little church in the neighborhood. We came to live in the cottage and have been here for many, many years, always on my mistress’s hand, and here where I have always known happiness, love, generosity, and kindness, I hope to spend the rest of my life! •—Anne Larson 4B HONORABLE MENTION 7a QesUUa Her brooding face is rudely cast, Defiantly she wields her broom.

It was a shady and secluded spot. There I could let my imagination run free and be without interruption from anyone. Now and then I would carry on a con¬ versation with a carolling bird that sat among the listless leaves of the tree, or watch the bugs and beetles burrowing in the earth. After such refreshing experiences, I would go back to my work with renewed ardour. —Erica Rosenquist 4C An Crope iience In One of Tech’s Famous Engineering Models or A Familiar Sight Around Here in the Spring Merrily down the road we rolled in our old jalopy. Joking and laughing we travelled over the bumpy road, with everything but our eyeballs rattling. Abruptly the rattles stopped, and so did our motor. Out came pipe-wrenches, hammers, crescents, pliers, screw-drivers, and baling wire, the latter being the most used piece of equipment on the heap. In short, a junk dealer would have been in his glory to own the things we called “standard equipment on the bag.” Off came the hood, with little resistance on its part, and all three of us looked over the great chunk of metal that someone had once called a motor. Dewie tried to see if the liquid on the side of the block was leaking gasoline, with the result he burnt his finger and spent a hot five minutes jumping up and down, holding it. Louie pulled on an ignition wire to see if it was loose. The result? About a dozen wires came loose and dropped off. We spent a puzzled fifteen minutes trying to replace them all in their former positions. We had checked everything but the tires, and were ready to put it in the ditch and give it up for a bad job, when Dewie (still hopping as though he had St. Vitus Dance), looked in the gas tank. You guessed it! Empty. •—Charles Magrath 4C HONOURABLE MENTION fyn.uil ' iatio.+i. I turn on the radio for my favorite band, And this is whot I get— “Evil and Death walk hand in hand But the Shadow is living yet.” I switch the dial hoping to hear Music soft and low; “Dodd’s kidney pills for you, my dear, Are what you need you know.” With sinking hopes I try again, And this is what I meet — “Will Jane leave John while he’s in paint And will Jean marry Pete?” At last I hear my favorite theme — Ah! This is what I seek; But then it fades right off the beam, And he says, “Bye ’til next week.” —Joanne Seed 4B A Secluded Spat in tlte liload It was a regular elfin-dell folded in the sharp, spicy scent of the firs. There, when the pale moon beckoned the deep shadows out of hiding, I saw the stately arrowheads on the knoll swaying together while the silver-sprayed brook bubbled away in glee. It was only here that I felt alone, except for the sleepy chirp of birds and the dreamy whir of the fireflies. No one but myself, and maybe someone in the long ago, knew how faintly the breezes stirred or how closely the black depths of the pool blended into the murky shadows and then converged again into the empty darkness of the night. —Beatrice Tate 4C My Adoice to- Ifau Now is the time to concentrate Upon our vocat ions to be, While still at education’s gate And our futures can foresee.

Auiosi Marcia Lawrence was exhausted, but she forced herself to think over once again the events of that day. It seemed years since the morning— years since she and her mother had so gaily waved good-bye to her aunt, uncle and cousins as they left the farm to attend an exhibition at Hopetown, a small city eighty miles away. Marcia and Mrs. Lawrence had made their home at the farm since the death of Mr. Lawrence two years before. Marcia sighed as she thought of her father. He had passionately loved his flying job, and when Marcia was sixteen, he had insisted that she learn “the ropes” of flying. How wonderful that year had been! One wonderful day her pilot’s license had arrived, and her father made the first payment for a plane of her own. Then the blow had fallen! The news had flashed across the country of the terrible plane crash, and her father’s name had led the list of the missing. Her mother, filled with grief and resent¬ ment against the whole vocation, had cancelled the order for Marcia’s plane and had forbidden her to fly again. Marcia’s grief was doubled at this, for it seemed to break the last link between herself and her father. To make things even harder, her cousins owned a private plane of their own and it was housed within plain view of the farm house. Only a week ago, she had received a letter from Mr. Lewis of Central Airport. He had been her father’s boss and com¬ rade, and knowing of Marcia’s flying ability, he had offered her a position at the airport. Mrs. Lawrence, stony with determination, had insisted that Marcia refuse the position, and regretfully she had obeyed. Today, as she and her mother were preparing their dinner, Mrs. Lawrence struggling to remove the lid on a sealer of beans with a sharp knife, had slashed her wrist. Marcia understood the immedi¬ ate need of medical attention, but how could she get help? The nearest neighbors were two miles away, and her aunt and uncle had taken the car. Her only hope was in the plane—but her mother had forbidden her to fly. She set her chin. . . after all, what good would it do Mother to obey her now? She bandaged the wrist in an effort to staunch the flow of blood, and dashed out to the hangar. Within a few minutes she was on her way to Hopetown, her now unconscious mother beside her. Despite her anxiety, she was not insensible to the joy of flying again. If only she could accept that job! She forced herself to abandon that tantalizing thought, and concentrated on radioing the Hopetown Airport with instructions to have an ambulance ready when she landed. Soon after she landed, her mother was in the hands of capable doctors at the hospital. Page 46 Balfour Beacon ’J,8 Many anxious hours followed. After a seemingly interminable time, the long wait came to an end. Dr. Kent smilingly approached her. “Mrs. Lawrence is going to be fine,” he said. “She has regained consciousness and asked me how you got her here. She sent you a message.—You are to go and see Mr. Lewis about that job tomorrow. She said that you would understand.” Marcia smiled to herself again, then resolutely closed her eyes. Ller appoint¬ ment with Mr. Lewis was for nine o’clock in the morning. Tomorrow would be a very busy day! —Stella Bundy MetnosueA. The other day I came across a box I’ve had for years and years. It held so many memories that it nearly brought me tears. But then I had to chuckle too when I found a valentine, An Orphan-Annie glow-bird that’s now too old to shine. And the noisemakers and paper hats from many a New Years’ dance; A string of beads, ticket stubs and souvenirs from France. A clipping from a newspaper, some pine- cones from the park; A snap-shot, a shamrock, and a layer of birch bark. A pair of little wooden shoes, a souvenir from Holland, And although I cannot wear them, in my heart they take their stand. ' To most these things are just inconsequential, but to me They’re more than that, they’re sentimental “memories’’. ■—Ruth Anderson S4 Claud C eoti The plot of an ambush was suspected among the clouds that were gathering over the tall majestic trees. Spearheads of grey clouds darted about in preparation for the battle. Then with a loud roll of drums, war was declared. The angry cloud soldiers donned their caps and hoods of crimson, maroon, and navy trimmed with black and flashes of gold. Now fully equipped, the vexed array rose above the trees and marched forth under the blue banner of the sky. Each flashing artillery-man stepped forth to deliver his bombardment on the trees and earth below, and then retreated into line. When their fury was spent, and their ammunition running low, a reluctant retreat began ' — their blue banner still waving high but themselves weary and spent. —Elinor Gretzinger 4C FIRST PRIZE 7 he deed Ricli i a£ In this modern age of machines and business everyone seems to be concerned with getting money—money—and more money. Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, “Money often costs too much.” I interpret this sage piece of advice to mean that when we start to consider only money, it becomes a disease—a disease that makes itself our master and as the dope addict is held to his addiction, so are we held to the craving for more. To satisfy this craving we sacrifice everything that makes our lives worth while. We sacrifice real riches for monetary gains. And in the long run do we profit by so doing? Is it fair to waste our precious lives working for something the net result of which will bring us no happiness? A pile of money can never do this! When we finally have accumulated our ill hoard we must start planning how to save so that our pile will stay as big as it now is. Then also we must padlock our doors for fear of someone stealing our riches. Monetary riches are tangible goods and tangible goods can be stolen. Real riches are those intangible things which make up our happiness. Can anyone steal our happiness from us? Has there ever been so clever a thief that could boast of having stolen even the most minute particle of anyone’s happiness? And another thing, monetary riches satisfy only our bodies. Are our souls to go hungry forever? If we want happi¬ ness, we must feed our souls—and what our souls thrive on, are real riches. With Webster’s help I have come to understand that riches are anything truly precious. Therefore dollars are not real riches because they are not precious. True, when we lose one we weep for it, but that lost dollar can be replaced. But real riches are things which we experience rather than have, so if we miss out on one of them, that chance to enrich ourselves is gone, and cannot be replaced. The real riches of our lives are built up in much the same manner as a brick wall is constructed; the wall—stone upon stone, our riches—blessing upon blessing, beauty upon beauty. The little everyday things are what really count in the long run. What was it that made your heart lighter yesterday? Was it a little bird’s bursting song, a pretty pansy face, the sun making jewels from rain drops, a lonely star reflecting in a pool of moon-lit water, a cricket choir; or was it a haunting strain from a pleading violin, the crashing crescendo of a concerto which broke like the massive ocean waves that smash over the rocky shore; or was it just a friendly hello, a meaningful smile, a kind word or sympathetic glance? All these things are not singularly important but take them out of your life and you have only an empty shell left. Lord Byron says, “The best portion of a good man’s life is his little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness.” Let us take each phase of our real riches individually and see how rich they really make us. In my mind beauty of nature comes first. There is nothing in the whole wide world that begins to compare with the freeness and abundance of the beauty of nature. You don’t have to be rich to enjoy it! You don’t have to travel over the world to find it. There is beauty right in your own “backyard” if you can but see it. If you cannot appreciate this beauty—if you see nothing wonderful about it—then you will not be able to fully appreciate nature’s more magnificent shows. Thoreau says, “There is as much beauty in the land¬ scape as we are prepared to appreciate-— not a grain more.” Far away places hold a certain romance for all of us, but Ralph Waldo Emerson says “Though we travel the world over to find beauty, we must carry it with us or find it not.” I remember the day I first saw clearly how much joy we can have from nature. It was a warm quiet day and I was studying for a history exam. Looking to the cloud-flecked heavens for relief from the monotony of the printed page, a shimmering strip of silver caught my eye. Peeping out from a wall of trees it would turn golden whenever the sun struck it, wind inwards again and then disappear. Though I knew my conscience would “raise cain” with me afterwards, I left King Nebuchadnezzar sitting in his tomb and broke off in a merry run to explore that elusive ribbon in the wall of green and gold. There was a wide field to cross. The wheat grass brushed soft and silk against my legs and a little breeze caressed the field rolling the grass with a rhythmical motion that became almost hypnotic. Birds chirped and swooped down low carolling with happiness. I emerged from the field in a sort of oozy daze and crossed the hot gravel road onto a cool floor of green grass and wild flowers. Wandering to the water’s edge, I improvised a tune. There, over¬ hanging a steep bank, sat a gnarled old maple tree. With secretive whispers and beckoning branches he called to me to come and share with him, from his strong arms, the beauty of the scene. I spent that afternoon in amazed wonderment. Was all this here before, and did I not see it? Or had some great power materialized a fantasy of my imagination and made this paradise just for me? It did seem as though I was in an ethereal world alone—queen. The waters danced for my pleasure, tossing up golden bits of the sun’s rays to honor me; the joy-crazed birds sang like some mighty chorus; the air was filled with an intoxicating potion which made me breathe happiness—my soul ached with the beauty of it all. Balfour Beacon ’48 Page 4 There was beauty untold, I thought. If that wealth had always been there and I had passed it by, there must be more I was missing. From that time on I looked, always, for beauty. And whenever I found it, I yearned to make some portion of its fleeting loveliness last. I came to appreciate what poetry was. How wonderful it must be to be able to put into words the glory of the sunrise and sunset; the majesty of hill and vale. Men like Shelley, Tennyson, Lord Byron, Longfellow, Thackeray, and Keats are immortal because of the beauty they gave to the world. Beauty in words. Listen to Thackeray describe a sunrise. “And lo! in a flash of crimson splendor, with blazing scarlet clouds running before his chariot, and heralding his majestic approach, God’s sun rises upon the world.” A poet is a magician who weaves his spell with words. A spell that brings us the wealth of romance, adventure, and history. But nature was not the only place I found beauty. I found beauty in music— “That rarest, subtlest form of sound.” Somebody said that music was the language of emotion—that is true! No matter what type of music you hear it affects you emotionally. Beethoven said, “Music should strike fire from the heart of man; and bring tears from the eyes of woman.” Many people do not feel the emotion because they do not listen. The difference between listening and hearing is that hearing is acknowledging the sound of music, while listening is letting your soul interpret it. When you hear a rousing Sousa march you cannot help but thrill at the booming of the drum and glow at the blare of the horn. A popular song affects you temporarily either happily or sadly—whatever the trend of the piece, because there are words to give its mean¬ ing. But classical music where you must find your own meaning requires listening. That is why many people flippantly declare symphonic or orchestral music is too deep for them. They are so accus¬ tomed to hearing they have forgotten how to listen. But train yourself to understand the beauty of the music of the masters, and you will find a new and deeper sense of gain. From nothing can you benefit as much as from friendship. A friend with whom you can share your troubles and joys— someone who will be an eager listener to your problems and a willing helper to solve them is something all the money in the world cannot buy. Friendship is, in many respects, like a bank account. You must be able to give as well as take. If you always draw out and never deposit, your account will not stand very high in anyone’s opinion, and with a friendship, over¬ drawing on one part can often be the cause of its ruin. When you find a friend, take articulate pains to nurture this relationship. Treat it as though it were a delicate tropical flower—just as it is hard to get, and exotic as it is, it dies quickly unless you handle it carefully. A friendship can be strengthened by little everyday actions— a smile from the heart, a knowing hello or any little act of kindness and con¬ sideration. You never appreciate a tiling until you have lost it; don’t let this happen with your friendship. Don’t wait until you find yourself alone and with aching heart and brimming eyes find out what you have missed. All our real riches are like that. You have to be able to appreciate them the first time they present themselves, or have them not. It costs nothing to take a little time to enjoy the wondrous things God has given us and the dividends we reap are all the more precious for their being so free. Let us all store up in our souls the riches that no bank could ever assess or hold. Let us become really rich and draw out our savings on a rainy day when we can get love, comfort and consolation from them. ■—Trudy Woldrich 3A bete+itia+t Detention, The teacher’s invention, If you skip, They want none of your lip, You just get on a 10 to 1 bet, Detention!

Hundreds of grass¬ hoppers took care of what was left. The endless, hot, choking winds tore away the soil and piled it against the fences. Not a drop of rain had fallen in this dry, hot land for days and weeks on end. Heat, heat, and more heat seared all plant life, dried up the sloughs, and baked the land until it was as a desert. •—Chalmer Shoeman 4C FIRST PRIZE QalfOSie. 2 awn Bill stretched, and wriggled his toes, feeling the cool linen of the hospital sheets. His eyes still closed, he was startled by a feminine voice that said: “Time to get cleaned up, Mr. Marshall. This is a big day in your life, you know.” It was a very pleasant voice and Bill found himself wondering what went with it. As he slowly opened his eyes, terror gripped him. He leaned forward, straining towards the light, and then fell back exhausted. So it hadn’t been a dream. The doctor’s words still rang in his ears. Blind! Blind! Blinded by an accident which had nearly cost him his life. “Perhaps a year, maybe two years— if all goes well.” But Bill knew the hopeless futility of such a promise. A wave of frustration and despair swept over him. Life was all over at twenty-five. It couldn’t happen to him. Bill Marshall, whose brilliance in the field of science had already won him fame and recognition—and yet it had. Slowly the world came back into focus. The nurse had left him alone. Alone. The word gave him a peculiar sense of elation, as if some great burden had been taken from him. He reached out, groping, feeling until he felt the smooth hard enamel of his bedside table. At last. His fingers closed around the small object—half a bottle of sleeping pills! Suddenly a knock was heard at the door. Recovering from his momentary panic, Bill slipped the bottle under the covers and called, “Come in.” Two men entered. Bill recognized the doctor’s voice. “There’s someone here who wishes to meet you, Mr. Marshall.” The stranger had not spoken, but his footsteps were confident and assured; a man who must have some great purpose in life, reflected Bill. The necessary introductions were made. “Mr. Jones,” said the doctor, “is the head of one of our largest manufacturing companies, and thinks perhaps he can find a place for you.” “Yes,” interrupted the stranger, “men of your capabilities are much too valuable to be hiding away in hospital rooms. Hundreds of our workers have, like yourself, lost the use of their eyes, but have become so skilled with their hands that we could not manage without them. Our administrative branch offers inter¬ esting work with chances for advancement, also.” Bill clutched the bottle tighter, and laughed bitterly. “Why not set me up at a pencil stand? Yes, and maybe after I learned the business I could branch out into shoelaces, too. No thanks,” he said, Page J,8 Balfour Beacon ’1,8 “you don’t know what it’s like to be-—-— blind.” The stranger chuckled softly. “You’re wrong, my boy,” he said. “You see, I am blind.” The bottle slipped to the floor for¬ gotten and the stranger’s handclasp brought the light back to Bill’s heart if not to his eyes. —Ruth Bryden 4B MeWuf, CltA,iritmaA It’s here, it’s here, That joyful season of the year, With all the splendour that it brings — Gifts and tinsels, shiny things. Be glad, be glad, ’Tis not the season to be sad, But let exalted praises ring. Through heaven’s halls to greet the King. Now hash, now hush, ’Tis the end of the shopping rush, Starry-eyed children are waiting to hear The sleighbells and patter of Santa’s reindeer.

Along with a number of my fellow men I was placed in a cargo that went to England. We were very carefully guarded as there were many who would have liked to have us in their possession. We were docked at Liverpool where we were taken off the ship and escorted somewhere by police. Next we were put on a train that was headed for London. On arriving in London I was separated from my friends. I was taken to a little store, called Patterson’s Jewelry Shop. For some time I lay around in the shop. One day the head jeweller came and picked me up and examined me. He said, “You are destined to be one of the most beautiful gems that has ever shown itself in this store.” With that he began carving on me. Soon I was ready to be set in a ring. The ring I was set in was a lovely eighteen carat gold one. There were two smaller diamonds on either side of me. Of course I was the centre of attraction. When I was finished I was set on a costly velvet cushion in a show case. Here I rested for a few weeks, during which time I had many ardent admirers. Bright and early one morning in May a handsome gentleman came into the shop. He asked the jeweller for the nicest diamond in the store. The salesman came right straight to me, and proudly showed me to the customer. The gentle¬ man went into ecstasies about me, and exclaimed that “Mary will love it!” The jeweller wrapped me up, and home I went with the happy young gentleman. That night he took me to see a charming young lady. He slipped me on the third finger of her left hand. I knew then, that that was where I was meant to be. I stayed on this finger alone for three months. Then a gold band was placed beside me. This is where I belong, and where I hope to remain for many years. —Margaret Garland 4B Bad Jla+tdl a( Ike fyJeAt Leaping and bounding across the parched river bed, the outlaw headed toward the hills and safety. There were green bills reaching out to him, drawing him right into their darkest interior, tearing him away from the very arms of the law! There were hazy hills beckoning their contemporaries to high plateaus ' — hills rising steadily up—hills pressing their bleak peaks toward the clouds; hills, hills, and more hills crowding the Bad Lands of the West. “Just a few more steps, Pinto,” the outlaw urged, and then the foam-flecked horse scrambled over the crumbling ledge onto the green plateau. “Oh, those blessed hills of safety,” murmured the outlaw. Turning in the saddle he grinned sardonically, then raised his stetson in a farewell gesture to the group of men clustered far below. As they looked up to the hills, the horse and rider vanished into the deep purple shadows. —Beatrice Tate 4C Belt ' IfeaA.l OuA.

When all around The world is bound And with soft greyness kissed. I left my work brain whirling And came outside to find A world of grey That cleared away Confusion from my mind. I marveled how enchanting This world now was at hand. The streets were changed — Seemed rearranged Just like some fairy land. And high up in the heavens The moon that shone so bright Was soft and small, A fuzzy ball High in the voiceless night. And yards that were cluttered With unimportant things, Were now all clean Wrapped in the sheen Of white, which the mist brings.

Each gray- purple, steely flash which fell over the street clenched my heart like a paralyzing vise—and I could not go. Then came a lull; with the sweet sea-smell wafting through my open window I scorned my fear—my crouching terror and resolved to stand up against this bluster. It was only bluster I tried to convince myself. No sooner was I secure in my newly found courage than a low growling wind rose in the distance, causing the leaves of the trees before me to shudder and tremble. Uncomfortably, I anticipated the storm king’s return. Above me, sitting on his thunder-throne, he looked with startled amazement at the insignificant being who had the audacity to refuse to admit fear of his strength. Perhaps it tickled his fancy—or perhaps the laughter which rang from the heavens was only his way of warning me of what was to come. How he laughed! His destroying breath hit hard against the trees and with almost conquering strength against the unyielding boughs. His roaring ran and reverberated like the role of the drums which played for {Continued on page 76) Balfour Beacon ’J8 Page J,9 GEO. ZIFFLE COAL WOOD PHONE 91031 Broad Dewdney REGINA, SASK.

GUL Olclieiisia The Glee Club with a membership of 102 has met regularly every Wednesday night under the direction of Mr. Rumbelow with Miss Tufts as accompanist. Besides these meetings, odd periods in Mr. Rumbelow’s timetable are filled in with extra rehearsals and practices. This year the main project was an operetta called “Chonita”, the music for which was based upon the works of Franz Liszt. The club worked hard during the couple of months preceding February 20 on which momentous occasion they presented their show. The principals and chorus were taken entirely from the Glee Club. The Balfour Technical Orchestra was on hand to play the accom¬ paniment for which they deserve great praise. Special thanks for work done on the Operetta go to the Woodworking Depart¬ ment and Mr. McDonald, the Art Depart¬ ment and Miss Messer, the Printing Club and Mr. Imbery, the Drama Club and Miss O’Conor, as well as Mr. Darnell for advertising and Mr. Mclver for ticket sales. At various times throughout the year the Glee Club has given worthwhile performances, taking part in the Carol Festival at Christmas time in Metropolitan Church, and singing the traditional Hallelujah Chorus at the Christmas party at the school, for which occasion a Hammond Organ was brought in from Heintzman’s. On October 30, the club entertained veterans at the D.V.A. Hospital with a musical program. The Gyro Club were provided with entertain¬ ment at their banquet in the Saskatchewan Plotel, when a small group chosen to represent the Glee Club sang for them. When Dorothy Thompson came to Regina, the Glee Club gave a program on radio station CKCK to advertise the meeting at the Armouries, at which they also were called upon to sing several selections. Th° Armouries saw them return a short time later in a combined concert with the Regina Citizens’ Band and Paul Perry’s Orchestra. As is their custom, the Glee Club provided the musical entertainment at the Commence¬ ment Exercises. Planned Spring activities include an Easter program, the Musical Festival, and Graduation Exercises. We look forward to another good year in 1948-49, and if it is as successful as this year, we know it will be worthwhile to everyone concerned. The Glee Club, and indeed the whole school, was greatly honoured in having as our guests Mr. Kenneth Spencer and his accompanist Mr. Melvin Owens. It was indeed a marvelous performance which they gave here at the school, and we are deeply indebted to them. Thanks go to Mr. Bond, who was instrumental in arranging their visit. From the Glee Club and Orchestra, orchids to Miss Tufts and Mr. Rumbelow, two very wonderful people without whom these activities could never have been accomplished.

The club, a member of the Inter¬ national High School Journalistic Society, is one of the many Quill and Scroll Chapters throughout the country who sponsor magazines, poetry booklets, and creative writing contests. The Quill and Scroll also brings students and instructor into contact with staffs all over the country and throughout the world. The club, under the direction and advisorship of Mr. F. Rawlinson, has lined up many eventful evenings, the time being divided into a work night and a social gathering. The work night consists of writing articles, short stories and other items of interest. New ' members are initiated into the club by a candlelight ceremony and receive the distinguished gold pin and membership card. The club is open to Third and Fourth year students. Officers elected are: Alan Bell, Presi¬ dent; and Ilaria Francis, Secretary. fialffO-utettei, Every Tuesday night an enthusiastic, fun loving group of girls from S4 meet at the Y.W.C.A. They call themselves the Baifourettes. Lee Hawkins is their President; Evelyn Pearce, Secretary; and Treasurer, Doris Laphon.

Williams Men’s Wear Tech’s Drama Club got off to a flying start this year with sixty enthusiastic Gables and Garbos out for some real action. The first big undertaking was the “Drama Night” on November 28, in Tech. Auditorium. The three one-act plays presented were a great success. “Consolation”, with an all girl cast is a comedy show ' ing the inside story of hospital life, played by Ruth Boers, Joan Slager, Pat Browm, Joyce Schuck and Evelyn Wight. Direction was by Vivian Bruce and Edna Grobrowski. “Sparkin’ ” is a hillbilly comedy straight from the Ozarks, with a little romance which develops under family obstacles. Joanne Seed and June Rumpel had a very co-operative cast made up of Anne Burns, Rose Volhoffer, Doug Smith, and Betty Hutchison. “The Ghost of Jerry Bundler” is a tragedy filled with suspense, enacted by Glenn Sage, Bob Gooding, Bob Widdup, Dave Whitford, Jimmy Millius, Alfred Vogt, and Leonard Korchinski. With this group of “comedians,” Miss O’Conor turned out a really good production. Mr. Quarry supplied very eerie lighting effects which created the desired atmosphere. The financial results were very gratify¬ ing, as a total of $170.00 has been turned in to the Students’ Council. On January 9, this troupe presented these same plays at McLean. About Hallow ' e’en time a small program w ' as put on for the boys in the D.V.A. Drama Club gave their support with two humorous skits done by Glenn Sage, Anne Burns and Joanne Seed. These skits appeared again at the Christmas program at Tech. Congratulations go to Eva Stann and Adeline Scheske for managing the prop¬ erties and to Ethelyne Hastings, Lucille Wright, Ella Heck, Loretta Fisher, Lorene Bosch and Florence Music for a fine job of make-up. Mr. McDonald looked after the sets and Miss Messer the advertising. The romantic American comedy, “Sparkin’ ” is being entered in the Drama League Festival to be held in Darke Hall, March 4 and 5. The male lead in this cast will be played by Dave Whitford of Jerry Bundler fame. A drama party will be held in the Spring to end a busy but enjoyable year.

Newspaper work in Balfour is a big- scale activity. The staff under the capable editorship of Ilaria Francis receive assignments, and at once are on the job of covering the school. They visit hockey, basketball, and rugby games, interview celebrities, dig up gossip, take pictures, draw cartoons, get form news and generally garner the happenings of the school. When all the material is turned in, a dummy is made of the paper and it is Time: Seven-thirty. Place: The Alpha Tau Room of the Balfour Technical School. It is in these comfortable surroundings that Balfour’s industrious Cercle Francais Balfour meets every first and third Tuesday. Yes-—Le Cercle Francais Balfour, with twenty members, convinced that French is fun and out to prove it! This group represents various forms from Third and Fourth year and Special classes and is sponsored by Miss Clermont. Each meeting finds the members enjoying an evening of conversational French and making use of their increasing knowledge of that language. After the formal opening of the meeting by the president, Allan Gomez, they continue with an interesting program. French skits are acted out, French songs are sung, and Electrical Appliances for The Home ELfCTRIC then ready for the printers. Taken to the printer, a proof is made and returned to the Editor who proofreads it and makes any changes necessary. Back to the printer again for the final stage— publishing. Distribution is then taken care of by the Business Manager. The “Balforum” has reached all corners of the earth, as far as Hawaii, and in return we have received many papers from these places. Five issues of Tech’s paper have been published which have pleased students and at the same time maintained the standard that is worthy of Balfour. games are played. Their understanding of French is deepened through reading the French paper La Presse, listening to different selections from the French record library, and for the more ambitious members by writing short plays. These evenings alternate with programs of a more social nature where a lunch, pre¬ pared by the social committee, Bernice Zosiak and Kelly Krammer, is enjoyed. The executive of Le Cercle Francais Balfour elected at the first meeting, September 22, was as follows: Honorary President—Miss Clermont. President—Allan Gomez. Secretary—Trudy Woldrich.

Smart Clothes for the College Man iafou i Piutti+u}, Club The Balfour Technical School Printing Club has always been one of the most active clubs in the school. This year has been no exception. Besides the usual run of activities (the printing of dance tickets, programs, Christmas cards, etc.) the club is always open to new ideas. An experiment was made in printing pennants on felt, an idea springing from the fertile mind of our instructor, Mr. Imbery. The biggest job that the Printing Club has ever undertaken, is the printing of tickets and programs for Tech’s annual Operetta. Also all those pink time table cards that you see floating around, as well as the room time tables and seating cards, are done by the Balfour Printing Club. One of the better pressmen is Harold Hameluck of 3G. With the exception of the press which still belongs to Mr. Imbery, the Student Council has purchased all the equipment, many changes and improvements in the arrangement of which have been made for easier access. The Club also holds annual socials, of which one has already been held in the Alpha Tau Room, with twenty-six persons attending. The Club is looking forward to another happy gathering to keep up the good friendship and club spirit. Officers are as follows: President—Jake Suderman. Vice President—Nick Petrinack. Secretary—Allan Nelson. Treasurer: Don Munro. We sincerely hope that next year again, this club will be as active as it has been in 1947-48. lie . 7 . S. Stamp, Glut The stamp enthusiasts of Tech meet every Wednesday night in the Cafeteria, to swap stamps, to talk about recent issues, and to pick up new hints on stamp collection. These hints are easy to obtain from their supervisor and fellow collector, Mr. Mitchell, who has a beautiful collection of Canadian, Austral¬ ian and New Zealand stamps. There are at present sixteen members, all boys, in the club. However, more members, including girls, are welcome. Elections were held after Christmas. Nick Petrinack was elected President and Herb Kruger, Secretary Treasurer. In February a display of stamps was put in the corridor so that the Club’s collection could be admired by the Tech students. The display consisted of British Colonies, German and Canadian issues, as well as many others. The philatelists of this club have had a very fine year, for there were treasure hunts, auctions and many other ways by which they enlarged their collection. Ware’s Wares Wear Well 1717-19 SCARTH ST.

Last fall twenty-five girls from Form II, who hoped to be experts on the typewriter when they finished their commercial course, also made up their minds that they would master the art of sewing. With the help of one of their teachers they were able to form a sewing club with four sewing instructors selected from the Dressmaking class. These young ladies, Eleanor Mac¬ Donald, Lois Johnson, Marion McLean and Mildred Keyser, have given generously of their time and interest and are making the So-Y’s a club worthy of the name (Sew-wise). The girls meet every week at the Y.W.C.A., dividing into two groups for their sewing instruction. There is fun as well as work in the club and the members feel that their venture this year has been very worthwhile. Machine Shop, Glut).

Money is raised for social evenings by doing small jobs brought in by the members. One social evening has been held which turned out very successfully and the members are now looking forward to the annual picnic at King’s Park which will wind up activities for this year.

Alpha au NevuLk For those who are interested in hitting the high spots in typing, membership in the Alpha Tau Honorary Fraternity is something at which to aim. The initials of the association, A.T., give a clue to the eightv-words-per-minute typing rate which is a requirement for membership. The Associate Alpha Tau Clubs are the channel through which many students gain the required speed. Even after graduation members may continue to work toward higher typing rates and eventually gain admittance to the senior Alpha Tau group. This senior group is comprised of young business women in the city, who have attained at least the 80 word per minute standard. It is sponsored by Miss Sinclair and meets the second and fourth Wednes¬ day of every month. It keeps on its roll about forty members who have moved from the city—so that Alpha Tau has representatives from London, England, to Vancouver and Los Angeles. Many members of Alpha Tau have not been content with the eighty-word-per-minute entrance standard but have reached the 90 and 100 word goal. Among the famous Alpha Tauers is one of our graduates, Sophie Michas, who travels from coast to coast as a high speed demonstrator for the Underwood Company. Her demonstration in our school last fall was both instructive and entertaining, and was greatly appreciated by the large body of commercial students who were present. The junior typing clubs in the school are known as Chapters of the Associate Alpha Tau, and are sponsored by other teachers of the Typewriting Department. The Alpha Chapter, with Miss Argue as its adviser, donates a silver cup which is won each year by the Grade Nine student attaining the highest typing rate above fifty words per minute in the first typing year. The Gamma Chapter sponsored by Miss Felske, is a very active club and gives an opportunity for students and graduates of our special Stenography classes to continue building typing speed after their one-year course is finished. The Beta and Delta Chapters, with Miss Treen and Miss Roycroft as their respective leaders, are of interest chiefly to Third and Fourth-year Students, though a number of graduates from these classes also keep up their membership.

The Jay Tee C’s, a typing club for Second year students, meets every Thurs¬ day afternoon with Mrs. Perry as its leader. At their meetings they type test, party menus, designs, and pictures, as well as plan their parties. They have a supper party once a month where they all have fun and become better acquainted. The Alpha Tau has completely furnished a very attractive club room in the school where members of all the groups as well as many other clubs in the school, meet. Money for this purpose has been raised by undertaking typing projects for commer¬ cial firms in the city. A Typing Competi¬ tion held in the spring is one of the other activities in which all the groups take part. Balfour Beacon ’JS Paae 61 tennis Gluh SHEET MUSIC Popular and Standard Heintzman Co. Ltd.

In the past the club has featured demonstration games, practice routines, a study of the playing and courtesy rules of tennis, as well as holding a few social gatherings. We wish to acknowledge the time and contributions of Mr. Mutch, Mr. Craig and Miss Sinclair as well as to thank Mr. Pollock for his splendid work in the main tenance of the courts during the summer. Camera Glut Activities The Club has at present a membership of twenty-three, four of them boys. Two labs are in operation, the enlarging lab being in the basement. Because the large membership cannot be accommodated on regular session nights, members use the labs any time they wish. The schedule this year has been mainly for the begin¬ ners—printing, developing, and enlarging. Photo coloring sessions will commence as soon as members have their required enlargements finished. Some excellent work has been done especially in connection with the amateur photo contest. Bernard Brandt won first place, and was awarded a student’s microscope, donated by the Chicago Photo Co. Ruth Anderson secured Honourable Mention in this contest. Mr. Platt is the Club Adviser and Bernard Brandt is secretary. It is hoped to start construction sections in the wood-working room after Easter. This would be mainly on enlargers and automatic printing boxes. This year’s activities have demonstrated one tiling at least—that girls can manipulate apparatus, and do just as good work in photography as the boys—that is, perhaps when they have the boys to help them. jdaii+i Club ' leJzaSit Club The Latin Club is an organization composed of a relatively small group of students who work diligently at the classics to fit themselves for entrance into professions where Latin is a prere¬ quisite. This Club has been divided into a Senior and a Junior section. Miss Collins is working with Miss Lee in this enterprise. Naturally, more can be gained by affiliating with this hard-working group at the beginning of a new term but the Club welcomes newcomers at almost any time throughout the year. If along the way something of culture can be gleaned and a greater under¬ standing of man’s experience long ago, these students feel that it is all to their ultimate gain and that no boundaries should be set to students’ knowledge. The Tekart Club began the year with a good membership and plans for a number of activities which included work nights, life drawing and poster assign¬ ments. Not the least among these plans were—parties. Joe Soehn, a former member, was guest speaker one evening. He gave an interesting talk, illustrated by various types of work that he is engaged upon as a commercial artist in the city. Members hope to get the splendid club pin that was selected by the members last year. Officers are: President: Shirlemae Grain. Vice President—Doug Horan. Secretary—Beatrice Tate.

The Inter-Form Basketball has been run off and judging by the turnout it was successful. The next on the agenda is the Inter-Form Softball. We would like to put on another Colour Night this year but this time we hope to have the boys’ help so as to make it bigger and better. So be watching for this special night when the boys and girls who have made a name for them¬ selves in sports receive recognition. Qoyl ' MiAfjet Baitzettall The Tech midget team hasn’t played any games as yet, but with Mr. Brooks coaching the boys every Tuesday night at six-thirty, they’ll soon start giving the other teams some worries. Lately the team has been practicing passing and zone defense and aren’t going to let the opposing teams score if they can help it. Tech hasn’t had many midget teams and the main purpose, besides trying to bring home the laurels, will be to develop good players for junior and senior teams in the future. So when the fellows (125 lbs. and under) start playing let’s give them lots of support and get out to the games. Music Headquarters NATIONAL MUSICAL SUPPLY CO., LTD. 1780 Hamilton St. Phone 7321 Q ' udUnati Jlcuodaui+i With the expert coaching of Gabe Patterson and Red Noel of the Regina Roughriders and under the watchful eye of Mr. McKenzie, Tech’s Senior Squad racked up three wins, two losses and one tie during the gridiron season. Employing the T-formation, the Tech twelve went down to a 34-0 defeat at the hands of Scott in a wobbly league opener. However, a revamped crew rolled to a 9-5 victory over Campion. Tech tasted their second loss of the season by taking a 16-0 defeat from Central. Tech made a playoff bid by defeating Luther 5-0, but Scott’s victory over Campion shattered our hopes. In a two-game exhibition series with Moose Jaw, the first game ended in a 7-7 draw. A week later, how¬ ever, Tech’s twelve hung up their largest scoring effort of the season by handing the Moose Jaw boys a 21-1 setback. Turning to the players themselves, we find at quarterback Jones, our passing ace, and captain Belick performing their position well. Stout performances in the backfield by Armstead, Hewak, Roscoe, Sheridan, Prosofsky and Woods, their great work inspired the rest of the team. In the line we find Keichle, Czyz, Hersch, and Griffith as most prominent, and Czyz provided us with some sound kicking. Outstanding in their end positions were Boychuk and Dent. Petrinack was our number one centre and we call him our sixty minute man. In addition we would like to give the boys a great hand in their fine showing and enthusiasm during the rugby season. Also our thanks go to Red Noel, Gabe Patterson and Mr. McKenzie for their efforts in showing the boys about a great sport.

If you did, this was the softball team out for practice. The girls were coached by Mr. Bates with the help of Lola Debolt, the captain of the team. They played five games, won two, lost two and tied the other. This team was picked from a large group of girls, and this year we hope to have an even better team.

VI5BTOR5 DALFODfi 0 40 1 WAS A LITTLE Off to WIGHT, ONLY .i-lAoe points ONE STORMY NIGHT {Continued from page 49) Madame Guillotine—the wind sharp as that razor knife, sliced off the limbs of the oak and slashed mercilessly at the tender arms of the maple. Each flash of lightning drenched the street in white flame. No—Storm King did not intend to let me follow my resolve. His only imminent concern was to put my imperti¬ nent thoughts in place, to humble me before him. Humble me he did, but not terrorize. I saw in that grand show some of that awful beauty, that greatness of nature, for which we are obliged to feel humble. The rain came, cutting the hot sticky summer air with cold cleanliness. Fading claps of thunder cracked like a toreador’s mantle, and the world-covering flashes of lightning gave brief, eerie evidence of Thor’s fury. Soaked in silvery light the awkward, gawking, broken branches strewn over the wet walk looked like some ghostly shipwreck; soft young flowers bent and broken from their struggle with the pelting rain, swayed drearily. The road in front was afloat with muddy murky water running in thick, heavy rivulets—the gardens behind up to the ankles in hail and sullen pools of water. Gradually the fury abated and the rain thinned—only the wind was not gone, but played with the curtains—fluttering them listlessly. The lightning became very pale and the thunder feeble. From behind a lonely cloud, faded and frightened, the sallow moon slid silently into the vast black sky, as if fearing to awaken the sleeping storm. Its sad ethereal beauty lingered like an unfor¬ gotten strain of music—like the reviving of lost dreams. Sad, melancholy, weary and tired the world lay bathed in cold moonlight— lay silently and patiently awaiting the healing kiss of God’s tomorrow’s sun. •—Trudy Woldrich 3A LOGGIES Fine Footwear Exclusive Agents for Selby Arch Preserver Shoes 1834 Hamilton St. Regina ROYAL SPORTING GOODS See us for your Sporting Equipment 2228 Eleventh Avenue PHONE 5973 ollocJzey Our Tech hockey team got off to a poor start this year with two quick losses, one to Scott and the other to Central, but we soon pulled out of the rut with a 2-0 shutout over Luther College. Mr. Currie with the help of Joe Palyga, picked out of a large turn out, what they thought were the best players. Ed Beutel was picked for goal, with Bernard Gre- binsky, John Reeves, Don Borys, Ron Fyfe, Ed. Prosofsky and Jerry Armstead holding up the rear guard. The first string consisted of Merv Bregg, centre, flanked on the wings by “Red” Ballantine and Art Belick. Harvey Schmidt, Doug Killoh and Paul Masinick make up the second line, with George Fox, Bud Harvey and Baldur Johnson on the third. Bill Pearce is our sub-goalie. In an early exhibition game with Odessa seniors which we won 6-2, Don Borys was set on the injury list with a broken wrist. Our hopes are still high and we are still gunning to hold that Inter-collegiate championship which we captured last season. 7 f tunJdina The tumbling team has had adequate supervision by Jake Suderman and Ervan Harlos, under the capable direction of the Rodgers Twins. Though bumped and bruised they are now capable of giving an effective demonstration. You should see them do their stuff—it’s quite the thing. Really, tumbling consists of only twists and turns! The attendance of the tumblers is not as good as it could be, so let’s all try and be here on time and at school every Wednesday at 6.30. We still have a lot more to learn. Practice makes perfect is our slogan. fju+u l HuCfJuf. After many years of absence, junior rugby has made a comeback. Getting off to a bad start by losing to Central 13-0 and Moose Jaw Tech 13-0 at Moose Jaw, Balfour came back into the running by defeating Campion 11-5 and Moose Jaw 13-12 in Regina. In the last game with Central, Tech lost out when Central made a touchdown near the end of the game. The game ended 7-5. In Balfour’s line-up there were plungers like Love, Leffler and Gaber who kept the opposition busy. The coaching honors were shared by Joe Palyga and Leo Koboyashi. Dr. B. J.
