W. L. (Bill) Rutledge, A.F.C., M.M. with bar, knows his motors. As instructor during: the world war he graduated more expert pilots than any other instructor. Today he is chief instructor for the Calgary Aero Club, and is accomplish¬ ing wonders. Twin Ignition, High Compression, Valve in Head Motors are universally used in airplanes. These same principles arp utilized in the “400” scries of Special and Advanced Six Nash Cars. These factors contribute to the wonderful performance and economical operation that Nash owners rightfully boast about. C. W. NASH President of Nash Motors Co.

Memories of close friendship, hard- work, escapades punished and unpunished. Memories not only of cheer¬ ing crowds of fellow students at games and sport meets, but of those days, when walking home with our books under our arms we were able to say: “I learned something today.” What graduate could ever forget the dances, the concerts, the banquets which colored our school life so brightly? The teachers,too, will be remembered, not only by their unselfishness in sacrificing time and energy for our advancement, but by their peculiar mannerisms. Each will stand forth in our minds and will be called by fond “nick-names” in after years. We who pass out of the doors of our beloved school do so with our courage bolstered by the feeling that we have something solid, something above value, behind us, backing us up, as it were, in all our endeavors. And so, to the school which has been so successful in every sphere of school life, and will, we hope, continue to be so for many years to come, we bid farewell! Ivan Smith. The Analecta 21 THE HONORS OF CENTRAL HIGH Each year it is with the highest expectancy and the greatest interest that we await the announcement of the winners of the Bennett Scholar¬ ships. It is our fervent hope that the honors may fall upon some of our comrades in Central High. These scholarships were first offered in 1922. Since that time twenty-eight of them have been awarded. Of these, Cen¬ tral High may boast of having fourteen won by her students. Central may claim even more honor when it is understood that this competition is open to all the students in the High schools in Calgary and that only half the scholarships have been won by students in High schools other than [ Central. This indeed is a credit to our school and an honor much to be ! coveted by any school. To win such a scholarship a student must obtain the highest average mark on the June exams. For this reason not only are these students to be applauded, but also the teachers who, by their fine imparting of knowledge, were able to make it possible for the students to win such distinction, are to be strongly commended. The following Bennett scholarships have been won by students of Cen¬ tral High School: 1922— Grade XI—Donald Simmons; Lesley Lillian Calder. Grade XII—Marshall Edward Manning. 1923— Grade XI—George Stanley. Grade XII—Lesley Lillian Calder. 1924— Grade XI—Wilbur B. Chellis. Grade XII—Isabel Landels. 1926— Grade XI—Arthur R. Cragg. 1927— Grade XI—Alfred Stiernotte; Patricia Parker. Grade XII—William P. Taylor. 1928— Grade XII—Alfred Stiernotte; Patricia Parker. 1929— Grade XI—Margaret Agnes Smith. A matter of more general interest is called to our mind. It is that of the recent results of the June, 1929, examinations. We are informed that of the 114 diplomas awarded in Grades XI and XII of Central High School for Normal and Matriculation courses, 34 were honor diplomas. Another banner added to the flagstaff of Central High! To those obtaining dip- 22 The Analecta lomas are extended our heartiest acclamations. To those fortunate enough to secure honor diplomas are offered our sincerest and deepest congratu¬ lations. In concluding such a statement of the fine work of the teachers and the splendid works of the students of Central High School, it need only be sufficient to express the desire that always may Central have such honors contributed to her through the never-failing work of her teaching staff; and the never-tiring work of her students! —Gerald Wilson. A NEW GYMNASIUM What an asset a good Gym. would be to C.C.l. What a painful lack we : feel in having to use the old one. We do not use the Assembly Hall for : any strenuous exercise for fear of knocking the plaster off the ceilings of the rooms below. Thousands of dollars have been spent on the two new : High schools. Central High School will last at least fifty years more. It seems only fair that C.C.l. should be provided with a good gymnasium. Physical training is a compulsory unit on our High school course. Yet how many students benefit by it in our school ? Our rugby players get : training in autum; our basketball teams practice for a few winter months; a few boys knock elbows in the spare room, trying to do cadet drill. Roughly about 10% of the students get any physical drill. A good Gym. built on our grounds would make possible any amount of training. Also interest would be stimulated in inter-room sports; our school life would be livened up; our studies would be done in a more cheerful manner. Central High School is a more logical location for the best gymnasium than is Crescent Heights. Our grounds are more in the centre of the city. More people would be interested in the City Basketball Leagues than at present if the games were played in the central part of the city. The arguments in favor of a good gymnasium are so practical and , forceful, that the arguments against the project simply fade away. A new gymnasium on our grounds would be used to its full value. M.S.—XIIA. A PIECE OF GOOD ADVICE We’re almost ready to go out into the great, wide world where we will have to cease depending on others and begin to rely on ourselves. From what I hear we will also be compelled to change our ideas of life to a great extent; and we want to change them for the better. Many business men have said that the reason they become so disgusted with the young people that come into their offices, is that they aren’t willing to work for promo¬ ti on—they want to get picked up. One man in particular advised us all to take this piece of advice to heart. It’s taken from an Old Fogy’s Inglenook in the Valoo World. The Analecta 23 “I am going to do all in my power to help the fellow above me—the fellow whose responsibilities are greater than mine, whose duties are more exacting, whose planning is more important, whose vision has a wider range, whose time is in greater demand, and upon whose shoulders rests a heavier burden. I shall do this whether I am at the bottom of the ladder and the fellow higher up is immediately above me, or on the topmost round. In doing this, faithfully and ungrudgingly, I believe I shall be most likely to help myself. “I know frankly that this seems to be a reversal of the time-honored admonition to give a helping hand to the fellow lower down. But it is nothing of the sort. I do not intend to lessen my sympathetic interest in the fellow below me simply because I plan to show keener interest and a more alert sympathy for the fellow above than I have shown in the past. Rather, it seems to me, my interest in the man below will be increased by reason of my better directed interest in the man above; and if the man below follows my example, I shall be a beneficiary of his reawakened inter¬ est and effort, thus adding to my capacity to give helpful service and to pass it along the line clear to the top.” It’s this co-operation that they all claim we young people lack. So let’s surprise them and co-operate to the very best of our ability. —G.M.R. EDUCATION Unto what heights are we consciously striving; towards the realizatior of what ideals do we labor? We ask ourselves continually, “Do our studies lead directly to the fulfillment of these hopes, or should we be following a more practical education?” We challenge the theory strongly that success in life is the direct re¬ sult of book-learning. We would not have our students confined to the narrow bounds of two covers. It is true that knowledge in itself is nothing if with it there is not a knowledge in the affairs of the world about us. To compile a knowledge like the former, but not being able to apply it, of what use is it? Yet though this be true, our academic training must not be neglected. Often students are heard to say “What good will Science or Literature ever do me. I don’t intend to earn my living with them.” True, but that is not the object of Academic training. Though Science and Literature will prob¬ ably reap us no direct returns, ye t much is gained. With it comes the power of concentration and the appreciation of good books, so that one is better enabled to acquit himself creditably in the hours of leisure he may follow in later life. So in our curriculum, men successful in life have endeavored to combine that which will be profitable to our general advancement. To realize our ideals, this book knowledge is very essential; our books should be used not merely to teach us a trade in life, but as counsellors and treasured friends; allies in the task of achieving- a really creative education. —L.G.—XIIA. 24 The Analecta GIRLS’ SPORTS Interest in any girls’ sports in our school is sadly lacking. In fact, the only sport the girls have is basketball, and supplemented by no other train¬ ing our basketball is not what it should be. There was a time when our scores in basketball against opponents read like a fairy tale—delightful for us. But now r ! It seems that our glory is all of the past, for our scores in 1930 games fill us with woe. There are many girls in our school from whom a good hockey team could be chosen. Yet there is not a vestige of interest shown in the form¬ ing of such a team. Therefore all our excellent girl skaters pass through their school life unacknowledged. Would not a Tennis club be an interesting project? Could not the girls form a baseball team in the spring? An abundance of athletic ability is to be found in C.C.I. girls, yet this talent is wasted so far as school sports are concerned. Wake up, Centrallites, and stimulate some keen interest in girls’ sports! M.S.—XIIA. “YOUTH” “The old order changeth, yielding place to new”—and as one group of students pass out into the world’s great field of activities, another advances to seek a higher standard of knowledge. But as this later group is pre¬ paring itself to follow the footsteps of its contemporaries, let us turn to the group that has just entered the world. This body of ambitious, inexperi¬ enced youths face new adventures, new difficulties, new ideals. Their child¬ hood days have passed—they are now the roots of a new civilization, the future is theirs—they must enter it with courageous hearts and deter¬ mined minds. For many past years they have been taught the wisdom of the world and now they must face the world with that wisdom. To them it appears to be a strange and interesting adventure, but in reality it is a long, hard fight. There is bound to be countless ups and downs, successes and failures. Those who prepare themselves thoughtfully and advance slow but determined shall succeed, but th ose who enter the world with a light and carefree attitude shall in the end be carrying a burden. Those who are instructing our youths today as to Their future, were the youths of yesterday; and so life passes on. Here’s to our youths of today who stand on the threshold of life—those who are about to conquer the world’s obstacles and who we hope shall! Henry B. Valleau. The Analecta 25 THE FIRST DOLLAR I EARNED For nearly two hours of the previous day I had worked, trying to clean a particularly dirty yard—so filthy in fact, that I wouldn’t have attempted cleaning it, except that it was a big enough job to net me at least a dollar. When at last I had finished, the lady who had asked me to do the work came out, smiling sweetly, and said, “Thank you, my lad. Here is ten cents.”—I was mad. I had good reason, but that didn’t change things. I was still mad. And every gopher I saw made me madder. I would shoot one, and turn around to see another defiantly “peeping” at me, and the more I shot the thicker they came out “peeping” derisively it seemed. It made me see red. I tramped around throwing shells everywhere and any¬ where, as long as I thought they might knock the impudence out of some of those taunting gophers. Strange to say, most of them did. When I cooled down I discovered that I was in possession of more than forty car¬ casses. That settled things. I couldn’t help being in good humor when I found that for the first time since I had started shooting gophers, I had in one trip earned over a dollar more than my expenses.—J. G.—XC. FORSAKEN The night is dark, the path is long, The blasts rage fierce in a ngry song; With threatening swell from mighty sea, Look yonder how the billows roar, Rush in and break on darksome shore. 0 Traveller, come and rest with me! Far hast thou come from lands unknown, No friendly eyes on thee have shone, All lost, alone, where wilt thou be? With only moon and stars to guide Within some lonely dell to hide. 0 Traveller, come and rest with me! Wait not for now the storm is here, And little else there is to fear, I take thy hospitality. The great door clangs, the bolts are shot, The storm shrieks on but all for naught. 0 world-worn Traveller, rest with me! —F. Fraser.

The Hon. R. B. Bennett honored us by his presence, and after a short address presented one of the Bennett Scholarships to Margaret Smith, for obtaining the highest average in Grade XI in Calgary. Then Dr. A. M. Scott presented to Alison Jackson the McKillop Scholar¬ ship. This scholarship is offered to the student in C.C.I. obtaining the highest marks in Grade XI. Margaret Smith —Since entering C.C.I. Margaret has set an almost un¬ surpassable record. Not once has her average been below 90%. In Grade X she obtained the highest marks in Calgary and again has she upheld her standard in Grade XT by ranking first. Not only does she excel in her studies but she has been on the Senior Basketball team since her freshman year. Next year Margaret goes to the university and C.C.I., I am sure, wishes her every success. Her marks in the Grade XI examina¬ tions for June, 1929, are—Literature 3-84, Composition 3-88, History 3-97, Arithmetic 100, Algebra 2-99, chemistry 1-92, Latin 2-90, Geography 95, French 3-81. Alison Jackson is another excellent student whom the pupils of C.C.I. regard with enviable pride. Alison made a wonderful beginning by gain¬ ing the highest marks in Calgary in Grade IX, and in Grade XI she has been repaid for her many hours of study. This year Alison is only taking half her Grade XII and will be back to complete it next year. Whatever career she chooses to follow she is sure to be successful for she is a real student. The marks which justly obtained her the scholarship are—Lit¬ erature 3-82, Composition 3-85, History 3-89, Latin 2-93, Chemistry 1-92. Arithmetic 100, Geography 89, Geometry 2-94. I K WONG TUO’S FINGER-NAILS (First Prize) I Kwong Tuo sat peacefully in the doorway of his silk shop and occupied himself by looking at his finger-nails. They were long, sharp and yellow, and when he gracefully moved his hand in salutation to some of the pass¬ ers-by they clicked and rustled together with a sound like dead leaves whispering in the wind. He was prouder of his finger-nails than of the prosperous shop behind him. The sluggish Si-Kiang flowed directly past his shop, indeed part of the building stood on stilts in the water much like a woman holding up her skirts and standing in a puddle. He watched the boats with their queer bat-like sails float lazily down the river. Merchants in the street beside the stream occasionally called their wares—tea, rice, fruit, and all kinds of garden truck, and these cries mingled pleasantly with the sounds of play¬ ing children, donkeys, dogs and the shouts of the barge men. Kwong Tuo, yellow, bent and ugly, leaned back and pulled his stringy whiskers in great contentment. It was getting dark and Kwong Tuo called to him his assistant, San Foy, who had faithfully served him for five years. “San Foy,” he said, “it is time to close the shop.” “Master, that is true,” replied San Foy. He was an incredibly ugly man, very yellow and wrinkled and he squinted terribly. About his neck he wore a green jade necklace curiously carved, of which he was inordin¬ ately proud. They went about closing up the shop and Kwong Tuo put the takings of the day in the big old-fashioned safe he had imported from Sheffield. He had a great deal of money in his safe for tomorrow he was getting a special shipment of silk from IIong-Kong. San Foy knew this very well. That evening San Foy repaired as usual to the gambling den he fre¬ quented. He had a further run of the bad luck that had attended him for 28 The Analecta the past three weeks. He rose from the table very dispirited, but waved away his clamorous creditors with a great show of confidence. “Tomorrow,” he said, “I shall pay you without fail.” He left the den and slunk down the crooked streets till he came to his master’s silk shop again. Craftily he raised a window and slipped inside. There was not a sound. He glided over to the safe and began to turn the dial. He had memorized perfectly the conbination, having secretly watched his master open the safe many times. His fingers trembled but finally the heavy door creakingly swung open. Suddenly he heard a quavering old voice behind him. “Who is there?” San Foy made no noise that would answer Kwong Tuo’s question. Wheeling swiftly he threw himself on the old man. A terrible struggle in the dark insued. For all his age Kwong Tuo was very strong. They swayed and crashed to the floor. Kwong Tuo grabbed San Foy’s necklace and twisted it round and round nearly croking the thief. San Foy hammered at his master’s face and then banged Kwong Tuo’s head against the edge of the safe. He fled through the window, but was without the money. When he r eached his hovel he flung himself down on his couch and de¬ bated what he should do. If he left Canton he would immediately be sus¬ pected; if he went as usual to the shop at six o’clock and appeared greatly astonished that a thief had come and gone in the night no one would con¬ nect him with the attempted robbery. He decided on the bolder plan. Accordingly then he went back to the shop the following morning. Kwong Tuo was standing in the doorway with his head bandaged. San Foy was clever, moreover he was a Cantonese. He expressed great surprise, throwing about his arms and finally asked his master what had happened to him. It was very well done. “I fell,” Kwong Tuo said, “and cut my head. It is nothing—Come, we have much to do.” San Foy followed him into the shop bewildered. Why had his master made such an excuse! Did he or did he not suspect him? A little later during the morning Kwong Tuo spoke to him: “San Foy, I have always admired your necklace, but have never ex¬ amined it closely. I am interested in its curious carving. Let me see it.” San Foy removed it and handed it to him. “Thank you. Now I have a message for you to do. I want you to take this silk to the white woman, Mrs. Berkesley, at the compound on the next street. Tell her I hope it will match.” San Foy left his master scrutinizing his jade necklace. He was in a turmoil of doubt. If Kwong Tuo suspected him why didn’t he do some¬ thing about it? When he was gone Kwong Tuo carefully picked out a jagged piece of finger nail jammed in the necklace. The nail on the index finger of his left hand was broken completely off. When he fitted the broken piece to his finger nail, he found that they fitted exactly! Kwong Tuo then did a curious thing. He lifted a piece of reed matting from the floor and extracted three floor boards. He dropped a papei The Analecta 29 weight through the aperture and was rewarded a second later by a tinkling splash. The river! He placed two thin bamboo strips over the hole and then replaced the matting. It looked very much as before. Then he placed his chair on the other side of the safe and waited. When San Foy returned he said to him: “Come here. I have something to give you.” But something in the suavity of his voice frightened San Foy. “What is it, master?” he said trembling. “That is true, San Foy. I am your master and I command you to come here. I want to give you your week’s wages and your necklace.” San Foy saw gold glitter and his precious necklace suspended on his master’s finger¬ nails. He took a step forward and felt the floor give under him. With a 1 shriek he disappeared except for the fingers of one hand which clutched the edge of the hole. The fingers were on the slippery reed matting. An eighth of an inch at a time it slipped under them. The wretched man’s breath whistled through his teeth. The fingers lost their hold and with a splash the dark water of the Si-Kiang closed over its prey. I Kwong Tuo did not move. He smiled and looked fondly at his finger¬ nails. Eileen II. Nicholson—XA. ( CANADA’S CALL TO YOUTH (Honorable Mention) Youth entered a forest clearing where a number of men were preparing a meal. He stood silent behind a tree for some time, and then advanced towards the group. The first man to spy Youth, said in his refined voice, “Good-day.” Youth advanced into the circle and was introduced to the others. The first to extend his greetings was a very tall, thin person whose nose seem¬ ed far too long, and whose chin was covered by a grey shaggy beard, which , wagged strongly as the man talked. The next, a jolly little fat man with laughing eyes, side-burns and wide top boots, answered to the name of John Bull. The third, a dark-visaged creature, was dressed for a fishing trip; his eyes, close set, peered at you like two little black dots; his mous¬ tache, neatly waxed, tapered to the tips. This was Pierre la France. Fourth came a large dark man, short of breath, his hair cut so short, stood on end; a heavier growth on his upper lip curled upwards at the ends, was I still moist from the contents of the jug from which he had been drinking. His voice had a blustering harsh note, and responded to the name of Herr Rhineland. Pedro Argentine and Wee Foo were the last to be introduced. Youth then turned to his first friend and asked his name and he modestly replied, “Jack Canuck.” After the introductions each one offered to take him along with them. Youth told them he longed for adventure in the open prairie where he 30 The Analecta could best serve God. “Since I cannot go with you all, I will follow the one who can give me what I seek. They all spoke in turn offering w r ealth, titles, and pleasures, but none so far had offered him what he was seeking for. John Bull then spoke, he said that he, personally, was not in need of more men but to help his many sons was to help himself, and he smiled affectionately at Jack. Uncle Sam fearing to be out-done by father and son stepped in. He then proceeded to speak to Youth. “Come, and some day you may be President.” “No,” said the boy. “I want neither your ready-made wealth or Prei- dency. I seek the broad open spaces yet untouched, where God in nature is still the Supreme Power and through Him a man may build and achieve as he will.” “Mine, then,” said Jack Canuck, the last to speak, “is the place you are seeking. A country rich in minerals, woodlands and natural resources, too numerous to be mentioned, and as yet undeveloped. Its plains are broad and fertile, its coastal waters and inland lakes led by the mighty sea, teem with fish. “I entice you not with wealth. My land is peaceful and my people are loyal to their King, to each other and right. And he re you may worship God as you please. But why waste words, come with me and behold for yourself.” Youth arose and followed to the bank of the river where they entered a canoe and were soon paddling northward. “This is what I offer,” said his guide, as they came in sight of land. “Those who fail here never really had an inclination to succeed.” “See the shining towers of that city toward the east. That is Ottawa, the capital. Beyond these mountains is the city of Vancouver, while we see far miles and miles the beautiful prairie land. Oh, you are interested in the broad, clear plains between these extremities. Little wonder you are filled with enthusiasm as you regard the surging mass of cattle and those countless acres of waving gold grain they spell life and freedom. Now, incline your ear to that enormous roar, that is from our many water¬ falls, especially Niagara. “I have mentioned our problem of government, but we have other prob¬ lems also. Do you see those streaks of grey along the horizon, both east and west? They come from the funnels of great ocean liners arriving or leaving our seaports, arriving probably with settlers from foreign lands seeking a peaceful home in Canada. It is our duty to make one big mass until all are one—Canadians. “Come, Youth, hearken to my call. We need you on the threshold of your manhood!” Silently, for Youth’s heart was too full for words, Jack Canuck led forth a young boy entering manhood, blinded by a wonderous vision. K. McManus—IXE. ' The Analecta 31 JAKE AND SAM (First Prize) The weather-beaten old fanner was grinning broadly when he stopped his wagon. “Well, Jake, I told you not to be gittin’ one o’ them fool contraptions.” A grease-smeared face appeared from under the engine hood of a dilapi¬ dated “Tin Lizzy,” that was blocking the road. “Well, I’d rather have one o’ those here machines than that onery mule o’ yours!” grunted this opposition. An expression of righteous indignation spread over the face of the other man. He was proud of his mule, and he had a right to be, for it was the best one in the district. There were only a few spots where its hide was worn bare, and they weren’t so very big. And, besides, it seldom balked more than once or twice a day. The mule’s lazy pose between the shafts might have made a person doubtful as to its good qualities, but this did not seem to affect its owner. “Say, you ain’t gonna call Betsy no onery mule!” he snapped. “She don’t give me half the trouble that rattle-trap gives you! Giddap, Betsy!” Betsy didn’t move. “Giddap, I said!” roared its suddenly belittled owner. Still the mule didn’t move. “Hey, you onery fool! Wake up!” “Samuel, what was that remark you made to me a little while ago?” asked Jake in much politeness. “Shut up, will ya, and quit callin’ me Samuel! Giddap Betsy! Say, wake up!” Sam was getting more angry and uncomfortable every minute. Jake watched his friend’s antics for a few minutes, and then, with an ever-broad¬ ening grin, he reached down and began to crank his Ford. After a few turns the engine suddenly spluttered, backfired and caught. It sounded like a boiler factory, but it was going. Sam stood up and wiped some of the mud from his face. Then he turned around and gazed down the road at his rapidly vanishing wagon. | “Well, I’ll be dog-goned!” he ejaculated. “What a wonderful mule,” remarked Jake. “Oh well, climb in my car and we’ll ketch it.” Sam, grumbling, did so, and in a few minutes they were bouncing along the road in pursuit of the mule. I “She sure must hev travelled,” said Jake. “I couldn’t see a sign of her from on that hill, and we’ve been drivin’ fer near half an hour.” The car swung around the turn at the bottom of a gully. Suddenly the brakes screeched. With a thud the machine bumped into the back of the missing wagon. Betsy looked around at them, blinked, and resumed her sleepy pose. “Say, that thing don’t act like the mule that ran away,” said Jake. i “Somethin’s wrong,” answered Sam. “She’s never been that dead to the world before. I—I bet she’s sick!” The two men hurried over towards Betsy. 32 The Analecta “Here’s the trouble,” stated Jake, holding ' the mule’s hoof. “She’s stepped on a horse-shoe and got her foot full of nails.” Sam straightened with a jerk. “Hev you forgotten everythin’ you ever knew about stock?” he de¬ manded. “Oh! I must hev been thinkin’ about my Ford,” answered Jake, weari¬ ly. “You know, if it ran over a horse-shoe full of nails it would . . . . ” “Ferget thet ‘tin Lizzy’ of yours and get to work,” interrupted Sam. “It ain’t a ‘tin Lizzy’ and don’t ferget it!” snapped Jake. “Oh, quit scrappin’ and try and find what’s the matter with Betsy.” “All that’s the matter with Betsy is that your drivin’ her!” “You ....!” Sam was interrupted by a terrific banging and clanking from Jake’s flivver. In some way Betsy had slipped her harness when the two men were arguing, and now she was engaged in reducing the front end of the Ford to scrap iron. It was only the combined efforts of both men that prevented her from entirely succeeding. “Look at that radiator,” groaned Jake. “I don’t see what difference it makes if you have a screen on the front or not,” said Sam. “Screen! Thet ain’t no screen,” answered Jake. “Its—its like a whole bunch of troughs.” “Oh, I see. Well, I’ve got a trough full of holes at home. You can use it,” suggested Sam. Jake snorted. “Say, you’ll have to git a lot more than a trough full of holes!” he said, decisively. “Betsy’s ruined the fenders and the lights, and the fan’s bust and so are a couple of spark-plugs.” “Spark-plugs? What kind of terbaccer are they?” asked Sam. “Well, it’s got plenty of kick” he was told. “1 like strong terbaccer. Show me where it is,” he demanded. “Well,” said Jake, pointing to a spark-plug, “grab thet knob and pull tlu radiator towards it.” Sam did as he was told. Jake switched on the power. “Ow!” yelled Sam. “It hurts!” “What’s wrong?” asked Jake, innocently. “It won’t let go of me!” squawked Sam. “Ow!” “That’s too bad,” said Jake. “Why don’t you let go of it?” “Shet up and do somethin’!” yelled Sam. After a while Jake opened the switch. “Oof!” gasped Sam. “I’m stickin’ to mules fer life!” With that he walked away, harnessed his mule as best he could, and drove off. “Dern flivvers!” he muttered, rubbing his arm. Jake looked at his battered car. “Dern mules!” he muttered, and walked away. Jack Gordon—XC. The Analecta 33 SPRING HOUSECLEANING (First Prize) Dashing into the house Mr. Newlywed slipped on a cake of soap and sat down in a tub of hot water. Angrily he jumped up, only to trip over a broom handle. He grabbed at the table for support and succeeded in spill¬ ing a pail of red paint over his head. i “Oh, Sally!” he shouted, “has the world come to an end?” At that moment Sally herself appeared on the scene. She was almost lost in a big dirty apron. Straggly ends of hair stuck out from under a once yellow dust cap, while a thick black stripe adorned her cheek. [ He groaned and she gasped “Get out of that mess,” she wailed. “Oh, George, you’ve spilled all my paint. Gracious, what language!” George went to the sink and vigorously turned the taps. “What the-.” There was no water. [ “I had the water turned off,” said Sally from somewhere behind a pile of rubbish, “because the plumber is coming. You’ll have to wash in the scrub pail. I haven’t used it yet.” He laborously washed off the paint and sank heavily on the nearest chair. I “Ow,” he yelled, jumping from the chair and landing in a tub of paste. “That’s a fine place to keep wire brushes, on chairs.” Another wash in the scrub pail and George felt like he’d been swimming. He rushed upstairs to change his clothes. I “Oh, Sally,” he cried, leaning over the banister and bumping his head on a cabinet which he had last seen in his room. “Oh, Sally, where’s my other suit, and I can’t fmd my underwear.” “Don’t be foolish,” mumbled Sally, coming to the foot of the stairs with her mouth full of pins, “you know very well that I sent your suit out to be cleaned and your underwear was sent to the laundry this morning.” He started down the stairs, slipped on a dustpan and took a nosedive the rest of the way. He recovered from this physical performanc e in time to answer the phone. “Hello!” he called viciously. I “Hello George”—sounded like his boss-—“I have great news for you. I have sent Mr. Hartle down to your house. He is prepared to buy a large order if you treat him nice. This is your big chance, but remember, he goes a lot by appearance. Good luck.” [ George put the receiver down with a bang and gazed down at himself. His flannel pants had shrunk four inches. His tie w T as gone and his shirt was covered with paste and red paint. The door bell rang. He leaped into a closet, knocking over a plant on the way, and shouted to his wife not to answer the door. Five minutes later the man left and George emerged from his hiding place, covered with dust and looking as if he had lost his last friend. He carefully examined a kitchen chair, then sat down and ordered some supper. Sally served some soup which had been left over from the night before, not knowing, of course, that a piece of soap had fallen into it earlier that morning. Late that night George crept wearily upstairs, and finding the light gone threw himself down on the bed. At least the bed had been there last night, but it wasn’t then and he hit the floor with a thump that shook the house. Upstairs rushed Sally and into the loom. Immediately ■ she turned on the light, and beheld her husband sprawled across the floor. Without moving he mumbled something about being ruined and refused to move or speak for the next hour. Sally shrugged her shoulders and went out of the room. “Men are funny,” she thought, “making all that fuss just because I happened to be doing a little housecleaning.” p Ry an _XA. 34 The Analecta s or Above Vrishhen WiLL Bf TqqnD in Ads.

But we will get what we have missed Because we’re on detention list But we’ll not worry ’bout it now, There’s five more nights to teach us how. At four we visit Eleven-B Where most of us you’re bound to see; We try to study there, of course, To prevent conditions getting worse. But after all is said and done, There still is room for lots of fun; And so the week’s and month’s roll by Within our halls of C.C.I. Philip Wolf son—IXA. Jit fWrnuirij ... of ...

Favorite expression: For heaven’s sake, boy.” Though I am young I scorn to flirt Upon the wings of borrowed wit.” The Analecta 39 PEGGY MENZIES—One biff laugh- that’s Pete. She gets a kick out of everything, even Latin. Seen frequently with “Smith.” FLORENCE McCAMMON-“Satisfied with just you alone that’s her long suit, besides her singing. And that smile!

ARTHUR McADAM -Claims he’s from Scotland (he isn’t just sure where). Likes Geometry so well he just couldn’t resist the chance to make a more intensive study. MARGARET COPE- Wouldn’t like you to know it, but she’s really a nice girl. Those new, witty sayings you hear originate with ye tender one. LOIS ARBOGAST Her quiet and retiring (?) nature is well known around XIIA.

ENA HERMAN We don’t hear much from her corner, so we naturally suppose she’s coming to school to learn something. “Heard melodies are sweet. But those unheard are sweeter.” LUELLA POLLOCK Hasn’t been seen much around our toiling ground since Christmas. We remember her as one of those girls who doesn’t waste words. “Absence makes the heart grow fonder.” fo 42 The Analecta EDWARD WOLFSON Somewhat quiet, but on occasions he can describe Latin with a facile eloquence that rivals Lear. ELENA ELTON Keeps those in her community in good spirits. But her favorite pastime is arguing during Chemistry period. “Type of her sex in wit and fun. Holds everything with ease—except her tongue.” DOUGLAS I RETON Everyone praises the con¬ sistency with which he does his homework. We wonder. ALISON JACKSON A fountain of knowledge.

Sign Co., assists Millican in Biology per¬ iod. Often called “Cherub” or “The young fellow.” EMMA MOORE Another of our “Dancing Daughters,” and a darned good one. She doesn’t say much, but thinks plenty. “I am not merry but I do beguile ' The thing I am by seeming otherwise.” DOROTHY CHARLESWORTH — Hails from Bashaw. First honored C.C.I. in September, 1929. We’re only wishing she had come three years ago. “To hear her speak, and sweetly smile You were in Paradise the while.” The Analecta 48 HOMER NELSON Originated in Kindersley, Saskatchewan. C.C.I.’s best linesman for two years. ESELINE McIVOR—A very quiet demure little miss. The only time she squaks is when you step on her toe. DICK ANTHONY Dick happened at Calgary in 1912. ' Till he was fourteen he did nothing and still does it. When not on a motorcycle, he drives his Daddy’s Hupp. JEAN ANDERSON “Scotty” lives up to her ‘bra’ nature when she succeds in getting two biographies. MICHAEL TYMCHUCK—Was burn in Poland in 1898. He came to Calgary in 1928. Although he did not fight in the world war, he saw- active service in Poland’s fight for liberty in 1919. The Kicker I hate to be a kicker, I always long for peace, But the wheel that does the squeaking is the one that gets the grease; It is nice to be a peaceful soul and not hard to please, But the dog that does the scratching is the one that has the fleas; “I hate to be a kicker” means nothing in a show, For the kickers in the chorus are the ones that get the dough; The art of soft soap spreading is a thing that palls and stales, But the guy that wields the hammer is the guy that drives the nails; Let us not put any notions that are harmful in your head, But the baby that keeps yelling is the baby that gets fed. Jameson—“Hey Baker, what would you do if you were knock-kneed?” Baker—“I guess I’d buy Eythl Gas—it stops the knock, and you get better mileage.” 44 The Analecta RUGBY BANQUET Committee— President—Vera Christie. Secretary—Peggy Menzies. Decorations—Margaret Rinman. Refreshments—Flora Williams. Programme—Hazel Wilkinson. Finances—Margaret Smith. The 1929-30 Rugby teams of Central High School were bigger and bet¬ ter than ever, and needless to say, so was the annual banquet. At 6.30 the members of the Junior, Senior and Intermediate Rugby teams, Grade XII girls, representatives of the High school teams of the city, the school staff and a few honorary guests assembled in the hall to attend the banquet. Each person found his place by means of a miniature football place card, and was provided with a chic purple and gold hat. Soon supper was finished, and after the tables had been cleared, Dr. Hutchinson and Joe Price gave talks suitable for the occasion. The Senior Rugby Championship team was presented the Shield by Captain Ferguson. The various coaches, Joe Price, Mr. Powell and Mr. Churchill, were pre¬ sented with small tokens of the boys’ appreciation for their assistance and constant work with the teams. Acting as representative of the boys, Harold Thom presented the president of the girl’s staff, Vera Christie, with an abundant box of choco¬ lates. Theie is no doubt but that these chocolates were an asset to the evening. the piogiamme, which followed, consisted of recitations, musical selec¬ tions, entertainment from C.C.I.’s magician, Henry Valleau, dances and also an extremely clever and well acted play staged by some of the girls. The girls of XII wish to extend their thanks to Miss Elliot, who by her assistance helped them to make this year’s banquet really worth while. The Analecta 45 Additional Rugby Banquet This year a special banquet and dance was arranged at the Elks’ Hall by some of the present and ex-rugby boys. The tables, which were decorated with ye old Central colours, were heavily laden with a delicious turkey dinner. Joe Price gave a brief, effec¬ tive speech, and Jerry Sieberling, the boy’s forward pass instructor, con¬ gratulated the teams on the games they played. These speeches were followed by an entertainment from Mr. Woodman in the form of a French Canadian Habitant recitation. A vote of thanks was given to our joint hostesses, Mrs. Herron and Mrs. Thom, who succeeded in making such a banquet possible. The banquet was followed by a delightful dance and social evening. The music, which was gratis from the Orchestra of ex-C.C.I. boys, was full of “pep” and helped to keep everybody lively. Without a doubt this banquet was a success and it is assured that all who attended will vouch for the good time which they had. Golfer—“Just look at that girl dressed like a man. What are her parents thinking of anyway? I think it’s disgraceful.” Golfer—“I beg your pardon. I didn’t know you were her father.” Golf Partner—“Pm not. I’m her mother.” ❖ In the search for a new naval yard-stick, it might not be amiss to try the golden rule. ❖ i|: “One of us is a cheat.” “What do you mean?” “What I say. Five minutes ago I had a fifth ace in my boot top and now it’s gone.” “The ladies that just passed were Mrs. John Doe and her niece. Her niece is rather good looking.” “Don’t say ‘knees is,’ say ‘knees are!’ ” Baker—“Say Mores, do you know that Jameson’s gone cuckoo.” Mores—“0 yes. He’s been going for quite a while, but what hap¬ pened ?” Baker—“Today he was standing in front of the school, and here was Jakey Bulshin scattering nickles all over the road and Johnny McNeill picking them up and giving them back-—Hey! ambulance ... !!” 46 The Analecta Fraternity of Central Collegiate Institute Another year passes and the old Frat. is still with the school. During that period the Klan has again strengthened the school spirit within its circle, by the addition of new members. The Klan as usual will sponsor the sale of School Rings and Pins. We intend to fulfill our past promise of donating a “Debating Cup” to the stu¬ dent body in the near future. We have maintained, as in the past, our high standard of social enter¬ tainment for the students, and we hope you have enjoyed any which you may have attended. We would welcome any suggestions as to how we could extend our activities within the school. Owing to the fact that those members who sponsored the organization of a C.C.l. Alumni, have passed into inactive membership, the idea has not progressed. However if any of the older students will co-operate with us in starting this movement again we will lend our strongest support. The members extend the heartiest wishes for your success in the forth¬ coming June examinations.

A man went into a Scotchman’s drug store and ordered 15 cents worth of quinine. A second later the man screamed, “Help, Pm poisoned.” The Scotchman looked at the box and said—“You’re right, it’s strych¬ nine—that’ll be 10 cents extra. Pay me quick, laddie, it work’s fast.” ' The Analecta 47 KAPPA SIGMA BETA Kappa Sigma Beta is an inter-scholastic fraternity throughout Canada, the head branch for Western Canada being in Calgary. Beginning in Calgary in 1929 with a membership of six, it now consists of seven chapters, organized or being organized in the following centres: Olds, Calgary, Edmonton, Lethbridge, Regina, Saskatoon, Winnipeg. By the end of 1931 it is hoped that the fraternity will extend from coast to coast, with its membership well around the thousand mark. Each fraternity has its membership limited to 20 active members, selected from fellows who have already finished High school or are in Grade XII. Besides this membership of 20 there is an additional group of between 15 to 20 pledges, selected from the various High schools in the locality. Conditions for these pledges are as follows: 1. He must be of good character and well liked around the collegiate. 2. He must obtain an average of at least 75% on his next examina¬ tions. 3. He must attend school at least 90% of the time. 4. He must have the intention of going to university. Calgary chapter, number one, has for its objective the organization of an inter-scholastic dramatic league. Because of the present heavy High school course, it has been very difficult to interest school officials, but a time will come when dramatics will play an important part in the life of the High school students. In the meantime, steps are being taken to have composition teachers allot a certain amount of time to oral composition work, such as debates, five-minute talks, etc. In closing we wish to thank the Editor of the Analecta for the space which he has so generously allotted us.

Do you remember the time we went to visit the “Merry Wives of Windsor” and were caught in “The Tempest?” We have had several visitors here, among whom was “King Henry V,” who has been telling us how “The Merchant of Venice” helped him with the “Taming of the Shrew.” He also told us “A Winter’s Tale.” “Romeo and Juliet” have found out that “Love’s Labor’s Lost” when it is accompanied by “A Mid¬ summer Night’s Dream.” There was a “Comedy of Errors” here last week when “Hamlet” took “King Lear’s” grain “Measure for Measure” and there was “Much Ado About Nothing.” I remain, yours truly “MacBeth.” 48 The Analecta Cecil White, Albert Pallister, Allan Fraser. The Analecta 49 “LA POUDRE AUX YEUX” Central High School displayed exceptional histrionic ability when on March 18th and 19th of 1930, various members of Grade XII produced the play “Dust in the Eyes” from the French comedy, “La Poudre Aux Yeux.” The action of the play is laid in Paris, 1861. Act I takes place in the drawing room of the home of Dr. and Madame Malingear; while Act II, two weeks later, is in the drawing room of the home of Monsieur and Madame Ratinois. Miss Margaret Lister deserves special commendation for her perfect characterization of Madame Malingear, whose ambition was to rise socially. Her clearly modulated voice and her natural ease impressed all present. Henry B. Valleau, as Dr. Malingear, created much mirth by his witty remarks in a futile attempt to silence his wife. Henry was just himself, and since he w r as so natural, he succeeded extremely well in impersonating a cool, collected, but not over-busy doctor. Emmeline, the daughter of Dr. and Madame Malingear, was played by Miss Margaret Cope, who succeeded admirably well in depicting the girlish charm of the young French maiden, whose marriage was in the hands of her parents. Douglas Motter was Fredrick Ratinois. He was sincerely in love with the charming E mmeline. The dignity and manners of Fredrick were superb and he presented an extremely gallant suitor. Madame Ratinois was successfully staged in Florence McCammon. She was dazzled by the magnificence and social standing of the disguised Malingears, and accordingly did her best to live up to the Malingears. Arthur Warrener, as Monsieur Ratinos, was splendid. He was also camouflaged by the position of the Malingears. Accordingly, in order to secure Emmeline for Fredrick, Ratinois did his wife’s bidding and tried to out-do the Malingears. He succeeded admirably well in presenting a nervous and excited future father-in-law. Miss Muriel Oliver, as Sophie, a servant of the Malingears, acted ex¬ ceedingly well, producing a typical French market girl. Alexandrine, Miss Elizabeth Gump; and Josephine, Miss Hazel Wilkin¬ son, were two chic French maids who attended the Malingears’ and Ratinois’ respectively. The tall, dark personage of Bert Pallister was.footman for the Malin¬ gears, whereas Llewlyn Gardiner was a typical butler for the Ratinois’. Jim Sloan was the little negro boy, also in the services of the Ratinois.’ Allan Fraser, as upholsterer, played a very crafty part by helping to camouflage Monsieur Ratinois as Dr. Malingears patient number 17. Cecil White was a high-class caterer, and cleverly expressed his disgust for the social climbers by his side glances, sarcastic remarks and his in¬ difference. 50 The Analecta Charles Tate, as Uncle Robert a wood merchant, was decidedly good. He was the means of untangling the play and doing away with the “Poudre aux Yeux,” and showing the Malingears’ and Ratinois’ in their true light as simple bourgois people. To the persons behind the screen, without which no cast, however good they may be, can operate, is due the most hearty thanks of the school. These include the direct or, Mr. Thorlakson, and stage manager, George Mores and his staff. Mr. Thorlakson has worked steadily with the cast. For the past month and a half Mr. Thorlakson and the cast have given up every spare minute of their time to the play, and there is no doubt but that these untiring efforts made the play such a tremendous success as it was. Scarcely Anything Judge—“Now, sir, please tell the court what passed between you and your wife during the quarrel.” Defendant—“A flatiron, a rolling pin, six plates and a kettle.” ili Small Brother—“I saw you kiss sis in your Ford roadster last night.” Suitor (hurriedly)—“S-sli! Here’s a quarter.” Small Brother—“And here’s 10 cents change. I only charge fellers with Packards a quarter.” “Some men smile in the evening, Some men smile at dawn, But the man worth while Is the man who can smile When his two front teeth are gone.” H: Very Clear It was visiting day. One of the inmates imagined himself to be an artist, and was busily engaged in dabbling away at an empty canvas with a dry brush. A visitor, wishing to humor him, asked what the picture represented. “That,” said the nut, “is a picture of the Israelites being pursued through the Red Sea.” “Where is the sea?” “Why, that’s rolled back to allow the Israelites to pass.” “Where are the Israelites ?” “They’ve just gone by.” “Then where are their pursuers ?” “Oh, they’ll be along in a minute.” The Analecta 51 Each year about a hundred students graduate from Central, and pre¬ pare to take their place in the world. They become scattered, nevertheless they do not lose interest in one another. Whenever they meet former class-mates they discuss former days. They say, “Wonder how C.C.I. is coming along these days? Why do they not form an Alumni?” Such an organization would enable them to keep in touch with one another and with the school. So far, although efforts have been made to establish an Alumni, they have borne no fruit. Centralites, you do not want your class-mates to be¬ come mere memories. Let us make a concentrated effort and found a society which may link us together in lasting friendship. Students of C.C.I. let us have an Alumni! ❖ The following letter shows what one ex-student of C.C.I. thinks about an Alumni: The Editor, Alumni Dept., Analecta: It is some few years since I graduated from C.C.I., and I think my feel¬ ings on the subject of an Alumni will be shared by those who graduated with me, as well as those before and after me. You who are in Grade XII now will realize in June, when you take a last look around your class rooms, how very much you will miss the life you have had for the last four years. And a year from then, if you have not benefited by the organization of an Alumni, you will be wondering where half your old class-mates are. In two or three years they will be¬ come mere names in your memory. Shall we allow this state of affairs to continue, students of C.C.I. ? Or rather, shall we make our names remembered with everlasting gratitude by those who follow us, for having had the initiative to form an Alumni Club? There are some spheres of life into which we fall after our school days are over, that more or less make hermits out of us. Mine is one. My work begins when other’s ends; and when I am out, others are in, so that it is very difficult indeed to keep in touch with many of the old C.C.I. com¬ panions. 52 The Analecta Single efforts in this direction are of little use. It is one united effort we need to keep us associated once we leave the classroom for the world. Where is our initiative, Alumni? Let us call a general meeting and muster as many ex-students as possible and begin some form of organization. Once begun, the rest is easy, for there are hundreds of us only waiting for a lead. Regular meet¬ ings, if only twice yearly, with social activities interspersed, would do much to strengthen the links of the chain binding us together—the chain which has its beginning in the letters C.C.I. “Come all ye faithful!” Before the school year ends, let us have some action!—Dorothy Dudley Smith, Graduate of 1926.

They made the best in the state meet bow their heads in the 220, 440 and 880 yard dashes, and hence are today state champions in those distances. “The field was so large in the 220 dash that two trial heats were neces¬ sary. Ray Taylor, defending champion, won his bracket in :25, and Carl Neilson in his heat with :25 4-5. Neilson came back to cop the champion¬ ship in :25 1-5. Ted also qualified in the preliminary with his brother, but failed to place in the final. Carl again beat the defending champion, Taylor, in the 440. Although he had a slow start he caught the bunch at the first turn, and from then on his orange-striped sweater skimmed ahead of the gang to the tape. The time in this event was :54 2-5, two seconds slower than last year’s record. “Ted had a battle to cop the half mile, for at the start he was slowed down by two of the competitors who spilled in front of him. He jumped over the boys and began slowly eating up the distance between his position and the leaders. He made fourth position, and immediately after, at the third turn, was third. At this point again he was nearly eliminated when another competitor spilled, but he quickly picked his stride and grabbed the lead, never being headed. The time was 2:02.” Congratulations, boys! And Such is Life Mule in the back yard Lazy and slick, Boy with a pin On the end of a stick, Creeps up behind him Quiet as a mouse. Now there’s crepe on the door Of the little boy’s house. 54 The Analecta JEAN LAWRENCE A true C.C.I. product, and makes a dandy hold-up man (Rugby banquet). “For she’s a jolly good fellow.” HAROLD THOM —Here we have another Yank. Harold’s lusty squalls first aroused attention in Pullman, Washington, in 1911. Harold is good at skipping periods. In fact he is quali¬ fied to write a book on the subject. ALBERT PALLISTER Arrived in Winnipeg in 1913. He dropped Literature, History drop¬ ped him. Bert would like to write, a book. CECIL WHITE—Cecil occurred in Edmonton in 1912. Finally in 1925 he was accepted by the Calgary immigration agents. He hopes to be¬ come a great chemist. OLIVE MICHENER — At C.C.I. only a few hours every day, and is kept busy while there, trying to talk to Thom and Cook at the same time. “A thing of beauty is a joy forever.” FRANK FARROW Frank comes from a place called KiHarney in Manitoba. He shrouds the events of his younger years with secrecy (we don’t blame him). Maybe he has reformed, but these “two bit” shows will be the ruin of him. REG WHITAKER Reg’s chief ambition is to see how little homework he ' •an do and get away with it—especially in Physics. Noted for his fistic encounters with Cook and Litch, besides his ever-ready laugh. VERA CHRISTIE The one survivor of Central’s fine school-spirited girls. Vera’s a hit with everybody and this includes the advertisers. Who else could manage the advertising so well, we ask you? BUN RUSSEL—Bun looks natural only when he has a beard and a pipe. Perhaps you’ll recognize him, however. Loves to dance and chew a razorblade. Some boy! WILBUR ROBERTSON—“Sheik” is a true Cal¬ garian. Arrived way back in 1909. He has been way back ever since. His one ambition is to travel vertically on skiis behind a car at seventy. The Analecta 55 JACK JAMES-—Jack is a real wild Irishman. CLARENCE OTTERBEIN—Clarence hails from He was born in Ireland (he won’t say where) Tacoma, Washington. (You all know KVI) in 1911. Maybe he still remembers some of in 1905. Came to Calgary in 1926. From the the “Colleens.” In 1922 he came to Calgary, way he takes to Comp. (4) Clarence should and since then has become a permanent fix- become a noted author, ture at C.C.I.

PATRONIZE OUR ADVERTISERS The Analecta 67 RUGBY Although not so successful as last year, Central managed to retain the Senior Championship and put up a fight in the Intermediate and Junior divisions. The Intermediates failed to repeat their victory of last year, but nevertheless were well up in the running. The Juniors, however, were somewhat unfortunate, winning only two games. SENIOR RUGBY Soon after the opening of school the Senior Rugby squad was hard at work practising for the coming grid season. After some weeks of strenu¬ ous practice the team was ready for the opening game with Western Canada. The Senior team wishes to take this opportunity to thank Mr. Price for his invaluable services as coach, and to express its appreciation for his and Mr. Woodman’s unselfish sacrifice of time and effort in their behalf. Central vs. Western Canada—11-0 In this, the first game of the season, Central hopelessly outclassed their old rivals, Western Canada. This game afforded no real test of Central’s powers and ability. In the first quarter Longbotham went over for a touchdown which Ray Wilson converted. Longbotham again scored a touchdown in the third quarter, making the final score 11-0. Central vs. Crescent Heights—22-0 This game was a walk away for Central and extremely one sided in play as well as in score. Central excelled in forward passing in which Ray Wilson and Ken Robertson were outstanding. Bob McFaul and Harold Thom also played well for C.C.I., while Ray Wilson kicked the converts. Central vs. East Calgary—10-2 A large number of students from both schools in attendance at Hill- hurst Park watched Central defeat East Calgary in a hard fought struggle. The lighter Central team resorted to a brilliant system of forward passing to offset the great gains made by East Calgary’s line plunging. Central scored one touchdown on a fumble and accounted for the remaining points by kicks to the deadline. Ray Wilson, Robertson and Nelson were out¬ standing for Central. Central vs. Western Canada—16-0 Central again defeated Western Canada, this time drubbing them to the tune of 16-0. The game was featured by Central’s fine exhibitions of the forward pass. Ray Wilson tossed 30 yards to Litch who caught the ball and made a further gain of 40 yards. Forward passes accounted for two of Central’s touchdowns, while the third was obtained on a fumble. Long- botham, Robertson and Wilson all turned in good games, while Wilson kicked the converts. This victory put C.C.I. at the head of the league. Central vs. East Calgary—7-8 A large body of students turned out from both schools to cheer their respective teams. Victory would give Central the championship, while defeat would necessitate a play off, consequently excitement was rife. The game was played on a slippery, muddy field, more favorable to East Cal¬ gary’s weight than Central’s open playing. Just as had been expected East Calgary made large gains by line plunging while Central could not get going. The first half ended with the scoring about equal. In the third quarter Jim Eagleson fell on a fumbled ball to gain a touchdown for C.C.I. Central’s triumph was short lived, however, as Harrison went over for a 70 The Analecta touch in the last quarter, making- the score 8-7 in favor of East Calgary. Despite a desperate rally by means of a brilliant combination of forward passes, Central was. unable to equalize. The score stood at 8-7 for East Calgary, making another game necessary to decide the championship. Central vs. East Calgary—8-7 Before a large enthusiastic crowd Central won the title, effectively turn¬ ing the tables on their rivals. Playing conditions were much more favor¬ able to Central’s system of attack. The line, too, was greatly improved and withstood East Calgary’s bucks in fine shape. East Calgary found it harder to make yards by line plunging while Central was able to make large gains on forward passes. In the first quarter Central had the edge on the play, scoring 7 points. East Calgary rallied in the second quarter and scored 7 points to tie the score. The third quarter was hard fought and scoreless. In the last minute of the last quarter, however, Central broke the deadlock by scoring a rouge, thus clinching the game, and winning the title. All of Central’s gains were preceded by successful forward passes. Longbotham, Wilson, Litch, McFaul, Nelson and Thom all played well, while the line held splendidly against the heavier East Calgary men. ❖ BIOGRAPHIES OF SENIORS Ray Wilson—Our kicking-forward-passing-halfback. His first year in rugby. Born in Irricana, Alberta. Watched the game from the side¬ lines until he got into Grade XII, but after the first game his only regret was that he hadn’t started to play it in Grade IX. Dave Longbotham—Halfback. His first year in rugby, also his first year at C.C.I., being handicapped by attending W.C.C. previously. Weighs 180 pounds in his stocking feet. Fast, heavy, and determined. Harold Thom—Captain and quarterback. Always loved the game. First he played on the Junior team, next year on the Intermediate, then for two years on Senior. His experience and knowledge of the game was very valuable “in the pinches.” Noted for making short forward passes. Frampton Price—Centre. He couldn’t help being a rugby player as it ran in the blood. Played on Crescent Heights Intermediate team in 1928, but came to C.C.I. this year. His “Dad” couldn’t keep him off the team. Ken Robertson—Watched his brother play until this year, then caught a place on the half line. Particularly noted for “push facing” Western Canada tacklers. Bob “Speedy” McFaul—Halfback. Graduated from wing line to back field in mid-season. One of the few of the 1928 Seniors who was back again. Just naturally a rugby player, that’s all. Homer Nelson—Played everywhere and anywhere, equally efficient on wing line or half line. Particularly effective on secondary defense. One of the principal reasons why Harrison didn’t know what to do. The Analecta 71 Dick Litch—Outside wing. Played English rugby at the coast before he came to Calgary. Fast on his feet, the surest pair of hands in the team for catching passes. One of the reasons why the girls attend the games. Jim Eagleson—Outside wing. Playing rugby is just second nature to Jim. His speed saved that crucial game. A sure and hard tackier. Jack Lawrence—Inside wing. His second rugby year. Into every play. Specializes in bending over backwards on the goal line. Frank Tilly—Middle wing. Another veteran of the ’28 champions. Bore the brunt of the Harrison-Holmes bucking combination and complete¬ ly cured these gentlemen of trying to make gains through the C.C.I. line. Jerry Wilson—Inside wing. Another of the reasons why the other fellows couldn’t gain through that C.C.I. line. Jerry is also a veteran of the ’28 champs. Constant, steady and dependable. Andy Tilly—Outside wing. Played one of the hardest positions of the team—substitute wing—had to be ready to jump into action at any minute, and he had to do a lot of it. George Turner—Wing. Came up from Intermediates in middle of season. Missed some of early season practice. Always willing and should make his mark on the 1930 team. Fred Wood—Inside wing. His first year in rugby. Faithful and willing. Will star on the 1930 squad. Wells Morton—Halfback. Hurt his knee in the first game and was out of the game for over half of the season. Played a hard and steady game. Bob Pearson—Middle wing. His freshman year in the game, but played like a veteran. Sure to be heard from during the coming years. Ian Keer—Outside wing. Played a staunch game and protected his end of line well. Broke his collar bone while stopping Harrison. Bert Pallister—Played nearly any position on the line except outside wing. Tallest man on the team. Played a hard game whenever he was on the field. I NTERMEDIATE RUGBY The Intermediates, under Mr. Powell’s expert coaching, again turned out a formidable team. Although they did not succeed in carrying off the trophy they gave the leaders a run for their money. Central vs. Western Canada—7-6 This, the opening game of the season, was fairly even and hard fought all the way through. At the end of the first half the score stood at 5 all, George Wood scoring a touch for Central. In the third quarter Western 72 The Analecta Canada had the edge in the play and increased their total by one point. In the last quarter, however, Central came back strong scoring two rouges, the latter, of which, scored just before the final whistle, won the game for Central. Central vs. East Calgary—25-0 This game was a walk away for C.C.I., who were superior in every way to their opponents. In the first half Central scored 13 points. Russel and Bell each went over for a touch which Bell converted, while Wood kicked to the deadline for one point. The second half was a repetition of the first, Central scoring regularly. Central vs. Crescent Heights—7-12 In a hard fought struggle Central went down to defeat before the red and blue. Both lines were solid and held well, the fight resolving into a duel between the opposing back fields. In the first three quarters Crescents obtained three points by kicking, and in the fourth further increased their lead by scoring a touch and convert for a gain of six points. In the last quarter Central rallied. Bell made a magnificent catch on a forward pass, which resulted later in a touchdown for Central. As if to crush any hopes of victory that Central might have had Crescents scored a fine field goal. Nevertheless Central fought gamely and scored a safety touch before the game ended. Turner, Russel, Wood and Flannigan all played well for Central. Central vs. Western Canada—1-2 In their second encounter with Western Canada, Central took the small end of a 2-1 score. The game, as the score indicates, was very keenly con¬ tested. Both teams were so evenly matched that neither side were able to score on anything except kicks. In the second quarter Flannigan scored a rouge to obtain Central’s only point. Western Canada, however, managed to tie the score and then draw ahead in the third and fourth quarters. In the closing minutes of the game Central staged a desperate comeback. Flannigan passed 20 yards to Bell and then to Cardell. Despite their bril¬ liant use of the forward pass Central was unable to score before the final whistle. BIOGRAPHIES OF PLAYERS Bud Millican—Centre. A good snap and an excellent defen sive player. Jim Cook—Inside right. When a hole was needed Jim made it. A “Stone¬ wall Jackson” on defence. Clive Nesbitt—Inside left. One of the team’s mainstays, made the oppos¬ ing line look like paper. A good kicker. Jack Weinfield—Middle left. Good on both offensive and defensive play and always got his man. Francis Symes—Outside wing. A really fine wing player, let very few opponents get past him. Always down under kicks. The Analecta 73 Dan Flannigan—Outside wing. A good tackier and bucker. Threw the forward passes for the team. “Bun” Russel—Halfback. Fine bucker,—will make a good Senior. “Stew” Bell—Halfback. The team’s drop kicker, also good at receiving forward passes. Paul Cardell—Halfback. A good ball carrier, player and bucker. Geo. Wood—Quarterback and captain. Played a brainy game at quarter, and handled his team well at all times. Jim Suggitt—A good sub., and could fill any gap. Ray Webster—Sub. Dependable and good in any place. John Spencer—A sub. from whom big results are expected next year. N orville Marks—Sub. Just learned the game, but will go big next year. JUNIOR RUGBY The Junior Rugby team this year was again coached by Mr. Churchill. Although they tried hard all the time, the Juniors were able to win only one game. Central vs. St. Mary’s—0-37 Playing St. Mary’s in their opening game Central Juniors were badly outclassed. Many of Central’s players were new to the game and playing for the first time. The Saints, however, were a fast and well balanced team and were never in danger throughout the game. Central vs. Western Canada—0-6 The game with Western Canada was fairly even during the first half, no score being made by either side. In the third quarter, however, West¬ ern Canada scored a touchdown ' on a C.C.I. fumble. Again in the last quarter Western Canada scored, this time a kick to the deadline for one point. The final score was 6-0 in favor of Western Canada. Central vs. Technical—10-6 This was Central’s first victory. Two touchdowns were scored in the third quarter, both of which were preceded by forward passes. The Juniors’ form seems to have improved since their last game. Parks and Doherty were outstanding for Central. Central vs. Crescent Heights—1-27 In this game Central’s line was continually broken and afforded no inter ference or protection for their backs. Crescents made large gains on end runs. The final score was 27-1 for the Crescents. BIOGRAPHIES OF JUNIORS “Herbie” Aaron—Quarterback. Has held down this position for two years, certainly knows his signals. Nathan Morantz—Halfback. Threw the Juniors’ forward passes. 74 The Analecta F. Bremen— Halfback. Fast and always got through. His second year in rugby. F. Doherty —Halfback. Hefty and a fine bucker. W. Whitelv —Halfback and captain. His first year at the game, but a good one. It. Ohleson —Outside wing. The best tackier on the team, and always got his man. S. Harris—Centre. A good snap, and tackled well. Ken McDermid— Inside wing. A good linesman and defensive player. C. Parks —Outside wing.

Booth —Inside wing. Also played outside wing. His second year in Junior rugby. L. Dworkin —Middle wing. A good linesman, has played for two years. HOCKEY At the date of writing owing to the lack of good ice it is impossible that all the games of the hockey schedule will be played. Central has made a good showing in those games that have been played, being runners up in the Junior and Senior divisions. Senior Hockey The Seniors played their opening game of the season with Western Canada College, their traditional rivals. Throughout the first period the play was about even with no scoring by either team. In the second period “Framp” Price scored to put Central in the lead, 1-0. However, Western Canada came back strong in the third period and managed to tie the score. Central’s line-up was as follows—Goal, Pi eg Whitaker; defence, Flanni- gan and Price; forwards, G. Turner, G. Wood, H. Armstrong; Subs., J. Weinfield and A. MacAdam. The second scheduled game was postponed on account of poor ice. In their third game Central was defeated by East Calgary, 2-0. Al¬ though Central fought hard they were forced to succumb to the superior weight and combination of the Easterners. Intermediate Hockey The Intermediates were more successful than the Seniors. They won their opening game with Commercial High, 3-2. In their second encounter they decisively downed Saint Mary’s, the score being 5-1 in favor of Cen¬ tral. Meeting Western Canada in their third game Central vanquished their old rivals to the tune of 2-0. Central, however, received a setback in their next game, at the hands of Crescent Heights. The blue and red downed the purple and gold 9-4. The. Analecta 75 After some delay, due to poor ice conditions, Central again met the Crescents, this time to decide the championship. Central was badly out¬ classed however, by the superior team-play and goal-keeping of their oppon¬ ents. Crescent Heights won the game 6-1 and captured the Intermediate title. Junior Hockey This year’s brand of Junior hockey was a great improvement over last year’s. The Juniors won three games, tied one and lost one. Their single but fatal defeat was administered by Crescent Heights in a hard fought championship game. Central played East Calgary in their first game. The score was a tie, 2-2, and although both sides tried hard they were unable to break the deadlock. Their second game with Saint Mary’s was more successful. The Saints were downed by the superior Central team, the score being 2-0 in favor of Central. Defeating Technical High 2-1, the Juniors again advanced their posi¬ tion in the league. Central won the next scheduled game from Crescents by default. In the last game of the season for the Juniors, Central met Crescent Heights in a sudden-death struggle to decide the championship. The con¬ test was close and hard-fought all the way through. The two teams having battled to a scoreless deadlock it was decided to play overtime. In the overtime the Crescents managed to score two goals to win the game and thus annex the championship. Although they did not win the title the Juniors put up a splendid fight and were a real credit to Central. RELAY SKATING TEAM At the Calgary Skating Club Carnival, held on February 3rd, the Cen¬ tral boys’ relay skating team took first place in the relay race for High schools. The team was composed of Geo. Wood, Jim Nesbitt, Geo. Turner, and Dan Flannigan. Central and Western Canada having defeated East Calgary and Crescent Heights respectively, were matched together in the final heat. Obtaining an early lead the Central team managed to retain its advantage and win the race. It is hoped that this event will be con¬ tinued next year. IIow To Tie a How Tie on a Tuxedo Collar Hold the tie in your left hand and collar in your right. Slip your neck into the collar and run the left hand end of the tie over the light with the left hand. Then drop both ends, catching the left end with the right hand the right end with the left hand. Reverse hands and pick up the loose end with the nearest hand. Pull this end through the loop with the un¬ engaged hand and squeeze. This ties the bow. As a finishing touch dis¬ entangle the hands. JUNIOR AND SENIOR GIRLS’ BASKETBALL TEAMS 76 The Analecta Back Row (reading from left to right)—Sheila Ritchie, Enid Taylor, Margaret Smith, J. W. Churchill (coach), Chris Topley, Peggy Menzies, Betty Webb. Front Row—Cathrine Robertson, Margaret Haszard, Annie Cooper, Alta. Keyes, Hazel Wilkinson, Marjorie McRae. The Analecta 77 GIRLS’ SPORTS Interscholastic Basketball Once again C.C.I. entered the Basketball League in the Senior and Junior divisions. This year we were fortunate in having a very good turn¬ out, and hence a considerable amount of material from which to pick the teams. The league games were upon us however before we had had much practice. As a result C.C.I. did not do so well in either division. Senior Basketball We sigh over the scores which other teams made over our Seniors. However they had all the advantages which we had not—a good gymna¬ sium, an interested coach and steady practice. We had material for a good team, but without a gymnasium, practice and interested coach, the material remained raw. Perhaps in a few years the Senior team will be back to its old style. We are told that reform is slow. Buck up C.C.I. and make a Senior team,, not just a group of downtrodden players. BIOGRAPHIES OF SENIORS Christina Topley—Our star centre. “Chris” is an old hand at the game and can hold her own against any opponent. Mary Lawson—A husky guard. Mary’s defence proves disastrous to the other teams. Margaret Smith—A very dependable player. “Smith” plays guard or cen¬ tre equally well, and shows great team work. Peggy Menzies—Our snappy little forward. “Pete” is a fast player and a fine shot. Enid Taylor—Our other forward. Enid is a good shot and an asset to the team. The Juniors substituted on the Senior team when required. Junior Basketball In the Junior division C.C.I. was linked with East Calgary and Mount Royal. We had hoped for the best from the Juniors, but unfortunately were disappointed. The first game was with East Calgary. The girls went into the game determined to do their best. The struggle proved a hard one and half¬ time found C.C.I. in the short end of the score. The second half showed some improvement, and the result was a tie. This, however, encouraged the team for though we did not conquer we were not conquered. The next game on schedule was with Mount Royal. Both teams worked hard, but the closing whistle found C.C.I. on top. The return game with East Calgary ended rather disastrously for C.C.I. The team worked hard, but the superior coaching of the opponents became apparent. By the end of the first half C.C.I. was found wanting. By close guarding and hard playing in the second half the Easterners were kept from scoring, but C.C.I. failed to retaliate sufficiently to even up the score and was forced to accept defeat. 78 The Analecta In the home game with Mount Royal the Juniors played their best 5 ame. Superior team work on their part proved too much for the oppon¬ ents, who were vanquished by a wide margin. On a challenge from Western Canada, C.C.I. played on their own floor. The game was close, but the Westerners won. The return challenge re¬ sulted more favorably for C.C.I., when we won 11-6. BIOGRAPHIES OF JUNIORS Betty Webb—Our star forward. Light on her feet and a crack shot. Sheila Ritchie—Really a guard, but necessity forced her into the forward line, where she combined the two. A snappy little player. Hazel Wilkinson—Captain of the Juniors for two successive year ' s. She plays centre well and keeps the team together. She also acted as a sub. on the Senior team. Alice Neilson—Our dependable guard. She worked har ' d in all the games, and sure can treat ’em rough. Cathrine Robertson—Guard. A real scrapper. She uses her weight to advantage and usually comes out on top. Alta. Keys, Annie Cooper, Marjorie McRae, Margaret Haszard—Substi¬ tutes. All very dependable players and should develop into the real stuff with practice. THE TRACK MEET The annual Field and Track Meet, held on May 31st last, was undoubted¬ ly a success, but not from the point of view of C.C.I. The showing made by this school was disappointing, for although we were second only to Crescent Heights, between their total of ninety-one points and ours of only fifty-one and a half there lies a wide margin for ' improvement which must be spanned before the old school can ever hope to regain her former supremacy in athletics. The exclusion of Grade IX boys from C.C.I. last year was probably re¬ sponsible for the unfortunate result of only three points in “A” class. Two of these points were won by N. Moriarity, when he came third in both the seventy-five yards dash, and the eight-pound shot put. The third point was won by the C.C.I. relay team, which finished fourth. East Calgary dominated this class, winning the St. Eloi Shield with a total of twenty- four points. This disappointing result for Central was somewhat compensated for by the excellent showing made in “B” class, where something was gained in every one of the six events. Credit for half of these go to Stewart Bell, who distinguished himself by setting new records for both the standing broad, and the high jump. In the former he covered a distance of 8 ft. 9 in., exceeding the previous record by 3% in. In the latter he cleared the bar at 5 ft. 2 Vi in., beating the record established by lan Macaulay of Central in 1926. He also came second with the eight-pound shot put. Mills Sheldon finished second in the second heat of the seventy-five yards The Analecta 79 dash, and first in the final heat. Another record was broken when T. Scrace won the six hundred and sixty yards run in one minute and 2-5 seconds. The team representing C.C.I. finished second in the relay race. Crescent Heights won the Paschendale Shield for the championship of this class, with only one point more than Central. J. Eagleson was the only one from this school who figured among the winners in “C” class events. He was fourth in the running broad jump, and third in the “hop, step and jump,” the twelve-pound shot put, and the second heat of the hundred yards dash. No one from Central was among the winners of the six hundred and sixty yards run, but our relay team finished fourth. For this brilliant exhibition of athletic prowess C.C.I. was awarded the sum of six points. Crescent Heights again led with thirty- four points, thereby winning the St. Julien’s Shield. In “D” class the results are more cheering. Here C.C.I. really asserted itself, quite overwhelming South Calgary, the next highest. P. Gordon tied with Ware of East Calgary for third place in the running broad jump. The high jump record, set by Smith of Crescent Heights last year, was broken when Max Shantz of Central cleared the bar at 5 ft. 5 % in. J. Burland led the twelve-pound shot put, when he sent the shot for a ride of 35 ft. 10i o in. P. Gordon came fourth. In the hundred yards dash, J. Hilliker came third in the first heat, while W. Robertson led the second. Robertson also finished second in the half mile run. C.C.I.’s relay team, composed of W. Robertson, P. Gordon, H. Keong and J. Hilliker, came first, giving C.C.I. a total of twenty-three and a half points and the Vimy Ridge Shield to grace the cupboard in the hall, a nd proclaim to all and sundry that we won one class championship out of four. It may be observed that of the eight records broken at this meet (which in itself constitutes a record), four were broken by representatives of C.C.I. two of them by Stewart Bell, and one each by Max Shantz and Tom Scrace. But this merely serves to illustrate a point which is evident from an examination of these results, that the credit for winning this school second place may be given to about three or four individuals, who by their re¬ peated wins, won the necessary number of points. In all, not more than eleven different names figure. This may be partly explained by the lack of interest accorded this event, not by those who participate in it, but by the school as a whole. The track meet should receive as much interest and attention as rugby. When it was held in the fall, it was subordinate in interest to rugby, but now that it takes place in the spring, there are no other High school athletics to detract from the interest which it should receive, and the casualness with which it is regarded by most of the stu¬ dents of C.C.I. must be attributed to sheer lack of interest, which is largely responsible for the poor showing made by this school, in comparison with what it should and can do. The other reason for our failure to distinguish ourselves may be attri¬ buted to lack of systematic training of the entrants in this event. Hitherto eliminations have not taken place until just a few days before the meet. No fellow is going into rigid training unless he is reasonably sure of being chosen. Slovenly training is the result of not choosing the candidates earlier. To remedy this, it has been suggested that eliminations take place at least two weeks before the date of the meet, and the last fortnight or so be spent in rigid training of those who are actually to represent the school at the meet. 80 The Analecta Calgary High School Cadet Team at the D.C.R.A., Ottawa, Aug., 1929 Back Row—(Left to right)—H.

The Analecta 81 This change is easily arranged, but it rests with the school as a whole, and with every individual member of the student body, to stimulate the interest necessary, before C.C.I. can regain and hold her old position of supremacy among the High schools of this city. —C.W.W. CADET NEWS—1929-30 Owing to there being no Grade IX boys at the school the Cadet Corps was not so large in numbers as usual, but the three platoons made a very presentable appearance at the inspection in May, the leaders receiving- special commendation from Major Miller, the Inspecting Officer. The school has always been handicapped as far as Cadet and Physical Training indoor facilities are concerned, and unless there is better accommodation arranged for in the future, they will always suffer in this way, especially in bad weather. However the Central High School Cadets still live up to the splendid shooting record of nearly 20 years standing, during which time some re¬ markable scores and records have been made. On one occasion (1914) no less than eight Central High School boys won places on a Canadian team of 12 boys who visited Eng land, and incidentally won nine trophies amongst them during the trip. Dominion Marksmen’s Club, 1929-30 1 Special medal—M. Shantz; 1 Gold ring—M. Shantz. 12 Gold pins—C. Hood, C. McArthur, R. McKay, C. Wright, E. McQuarrie, K. Robertson, S. Harris, R. Horner, W.

Shantz, H. Nelson, H. Thom and W. Mor¬ ton, won the “Martin” trophy, and took second prize in the “Arm¬ strong” match. 82 The Analecta Arthur Warrener won two medals and got a place in the prize list of every match, and also won his place on the Alberta team for Ottawa. Other boys who got into the prize lists were—M. Shantz, H. Nelson, H. Thom, W. Morton, S. Bell, H. Armstrong, and K. Robertson. Lord Roberts Match (Special) — A team of Central High School boys—Warrener, Shantz, Nelson and Thom fired in the above match, which is held under special condi¬ tions, and while they did not win, it is well worth mentioning that in 1913, the last time this trophy was competed for, no less than six Central High School boys were on a Canadian team of Cadets who won this trophy for Canada at Ottawa. Their names were—Dalton McWilliams, Jack Fraser, Orley Louden, D. McKenzie, Charlie Gratz and Jack Comer, with Bill Baker acting as leader. At the Ontario and Dominion Rifle Meets, last August— At Toronto — All the Calgary High School Cadets shot well, Max Shantz especially, who won prizes in every match and actually tied for second place in one match where there wei ' e over 300 competitors. At Ottawa the following week, the Calgary Cadets made the best show¬ ing by a Cadet team for many years. Arthur Warrener distinguish¬ ed himself on several occasions, but once in particular when in a “shoot off” between a Hamilton Cadet and himself, who had made the same score of 211 for the Sir Charles Wakefield trophy, they tied a second time, but Arthur made sure of it by plunking in a bull’s eye to settle it. The team also won first place in the Gyro Aggregate and was awarded the Victoria Rifle trophy, also second place in the Cadets match, second place for the United Empire trophy, and third place in another match. Arthur won a place in every prize list and also made the highest average for all matches among the Alberta team. There were seven Calgary Cadets on this trip—Warrener, Shantz, Nelson and Thom, from Central High School, together with G. Hirst, Charlie and Jack Ho Lem from East Calgary High School. Charlie Ho Lem, the youngest member of the team and one of the youngest of over 500 competitors, also won special honors by being placed in second place in the Borden rapid fire match.

We have been prom¬ ised books from Collegiate and Vocational Institute (Oshawa, Ont.), Daniel McIntyre Collegiate (Winnipeg, Man.), Alameda High School (Alameda, Cal.), Garneau High School (Edmonton, Alta.), Upper Canada College (Toronto, Ont.), Stamford High School (Niagara Falls, Ont.), Sherbrooke High School (Sherbrooke, Que.), Piedmont High School (Piedmont, Cal.), Ontario Agricultural College (Guelph, Ont.), Brandon College (Brandon, Man.), and The University of British Columbia (Vancouver, B.C.). Among the magazines which we have received are: Acta Nostra—G.C.V.I., Guelph, Ont.—An attractive cover enclosing an ex¬ ceptionally well-organized book. Your cartoons, cuts and literary section are good. Brentwood College Magazine—Victoria, B.C.—Your cover design is pleas¬ ing and sports are fully written. A few jokes and more cartoons would add interest. The Bugle—Crescent Heights High, Calgary—Your magazine contains many good jokes and cartoons, but why scatter your poems through the book ? Burnaby South High School Annual—New Westminster, B.C.-—A small book with many photographs of students, but lacking in humour and cartoons. Come again! Acadia Athenaeum—Acadia University, Wolfville, N.C.—A magazine with many interesting historical and scientific facts. Short stories and essays are well done. May we suggest adding photographs. The Brunswickan—University of New Brunswick, Fredericton, N.B.—A magazine containing many educational articles, but which is not lack¬ ing in humour. Again, may we suggest adding photographs. The Camosun—Victoria High School, Victoria, B.C.—An excellent ex¬ change. Your illustrations and literary section are good. We wmuld like to hear from you again. The Collegiate—S.C.I., Sarnia, Ontario—An interesting book from cover to cover. Your exchange column is large and widespread. We have no adverse criticism for this publication. The Analecta 93 Crimson and White—Hollywood High School, California—An instructive little book containing information as to the rules, regulations and organization of the school. This is, however, not their Year Book. Dale College Magazine—Dale College, King William’s Town, South Africa— An exchange from the other side of the world and certainly most welcome. Sport accounts are well written, but humour is altogether absent. The L.C.C.I. Review—London, Ontario—Our best exchange. Humour is everywhere. Your cartoons are amusing. Your book contains every¬ thing to make up a well-balanced magazine. Lower Canada College Magazine—Montreal, Quebec—One of our new ex¬ changes. Welcome! Your departments are well written, especially your sports. Literary section is not large. Why not comment in your exchange column? Macdonald College Magazine—Macdonald College (McGill University), Quebec—A magazine containing interesting articles, both literary and scientific. Your cover design is plain and neat. McMaster University Monthly, Toronto, Ontario—This is a very intellec¬ tual literary magazine. Your book reviews are interesting. Devoid of humour. Retina—Morrison R. Waite High School, Toledo, Ohio—A small, but well- planned book. Your literary section is good and “Book Lore” is an unique section in high school magazines. A few pictures of school teams, etc., would be a worthy addition. Red and White—Lowell High School, San Francisco, California—An elabo¬ rate book with board cover and excellent paper. Pictures and draw¬ ings everywhere. A rather different magazine to most of our ex¬ changes as it contains no literary or humour section. The Screech Owl—B.H.S., Bowmanville, Ontario—Your cover is very artis¬ tic. Your jokes are few but your literary section certainly balances up the scarcity of humour. St. Margaret’s School Magazine, Victoria, B.C.—Poems and essays are well done. Cartoons and jokes would add interest. Cover design is dis¬ tinctive. The Student—Welland High School, Welland, Ontario—A last year ex¬ change. Humorous section is excellent, but literary section is small. The Tatler—Lindsay Collegiate, Lindsay, Ontario—A small book, but with many literary attractions. You are to be complimented on your many club activities which must add variety to your school life. The Torch—N.C.I., Napanee, Ontario—A small, but well-compiled book with good farm notes. May we sugg-est a larger literary section and the naming of your pictures. The Trail—Published by the University of Alberta Alumni—A quarterly, which must be of great interest to former students. The Twig—University of Toronto Schools, Toronto, Ontario—An excellent magazine, holding interest from beginning to end. Your farm news is splendid. Your humour, literary and sport sections are complete. You are to be complimented on this periodical. The Vulcan—Central Technical School, Toronto—A striking cover design! Your artists are certainly to be praised. Where is your exchange? 94 The Analecta The Queen’s Review—Kingston, Ontario—Another magazine published by an Alumni Association. You certainly keep in touch with graduates of years ago, and this must be appreciated by them. Vox Studentium—Port Arthur Collegiate, Ontario—A compact, well-bal¬ anced magazine. Your short stories are interesting and your car¬ toons original. Year Rook—Western Canada High, Calgary—Printed before you changed to new school. A book with complete reports of students’ successes in exams. More cartoons would add attractiveness. Have you no exchange? We wish you success in your new school. Year Rook—Victoria High School, Edmonton—Your first publication since 1915 is very successful. We would suggest more cartoons and a table of contents. We hope that you will continue in this successful man¬ ner. Year Rook—Shelburne High School, Shelburne, Ontario—Yours is an inter¬ esting and well arranged book for a small school. Your literary sec¬ tion is large, but more cartoons would be an improvement. Come again! Among the papers we have received are: The Emery Weal—Institute of Technology and Art, Calgary—Many inter¬ esting articles besprinkled with humour. Published monthly. The Gateway—University of Alberta, Edmonton — A weekly paper with much sports news. Your Editorials are usually very interesting. McGill Daily —Montreal, Quebec—The only daily in our exchange column. University activities are all kept account of. The Pine Cone—Pine Bluff High School, Pine Bluff, Arkansas—It certainly must take a lot of hard work on the part of students and staff to publish a paper weekly in High school. To do this, as successfully as you have shows that “school spirit” is not lacking. Scribe News—Oakland Technical High School, California—A weekly paper with many cartoons and jokes. The Writers’ Magazine—Published by the same school, is a wonderful idea to encourage students to write stories. The White Pine—Coeur d’Alene High School, Coeur d’Alene, Idaho — A weekly paper with up-to-the-minute reports on school activities. It seems a pity that such a publication as this should have to be dis¬ continued owing to lack of support from students. Later publications which we have received are: The Watsonian—George Watson’s College, Edinburgh—A magazine re¬ cording the past and present activities of a very old school. Sport’s section is well written. The mention of the Calgary “Watsonian” Club in the “Old Boys’ Gossip,” was interesting to us. This is a welcome addition to our exchange columns. The Quill —Brandon College, Brandon, Manitoba—A paper published twice a week. Contains interesting articles and editorials. The names of one or two former C.C.I. students attracted our attention.

S.—Scientific men reason thus: Eve ate one (81) and Adam ate too (82)—Total 163. Teacher—You are all wrong.

You know T I’ve always liked married women best.” Little Sandy—“Hey, pa, let’s go to Centennial Pageant, it’s only a dollar.” Sandy—“Next time, laddie, next time.” McClung—“She’s a suicide blonde.” Cameron—“Sez you!” McClung—“Sure! She dyes by her own hand.” Nowadays, what is not worth saying is sung. 128 The Analecta “Why do blushes creep over girls’ faces?” “Because if they ran, they would kick up too much dust.” “I can’t understand why you married Henry. Why, he has only one arm.” “That’s just it—I admire him because he’s fought his way single handed.” Mrs. Worrymore—“My little boy has St. Vitus’ dance terribly. I don’t know what to do with him.” Boarder—“You might get him a conductor’s baton and have him lead a jazz orchestra.” A saxophone is manufactured every forty seconds in America. That is good news, because we thought there were more than that around. ❖ ❖ “What are you studying?” “Oh, I’m taking up Scotch, French, Spanish, etc.” “How do you manage it?” “Just push a handle up and down.” “What are you talking about?” “I pun an elevator, clown!” � 5 Jim—“Talk about rating! Mamie just let me have ten bucks.” Slim—“That’s nothin’—I’ve got a married woman sending me through school.” Jim—“Who is it?” Slim—“My mother.” Caesar—Fine chariot driver you are, lettin’ Ben Hur walk over yah like that! Whassa matter with yah, yah big sap ? Chariot Driver—It’s not my fault, sire. It’s those confounded stowa¬ ways. There were three of ’em riding the axle: A tourist travelling through Western Kansas saw a man sitting by the ruins of a house that had been blown away, and stopped to ask, “Was this your house, my friend ?” “Yep.” “Any of your family blown away with the house?” “Yep, wife and four kids.” “Great Scott, man, why aren’t you looking for them ?” “Been in this country quite a spell, stranger, and I know that this wind’s due to change. Figure I might as well wait here till it brings ’em back.” A fraternity man was badly mangled in a train wreck, and when the doctors tried to identify him by the clothes he was wearing, it looked as though the whole chapter was injured. The Analecta 129 “I just bought a nickel eraser.” “Oh, I should think a rubber one would be much better.” “Say, that guy Oscar was so lubricated last night that he sold the post- oflice.” “Well, why so down in the mouth about it?” “Because I bought it.” Mary—“She hasn’t been sick a day in her life.” Lois—“Gracious! Whatever does she talk about?” Eastus—Here am a telegram from de boss in Africa. He says he is sending us some lions’ tails. Circus Owner’s Wife — Lions’ tails, Rastus? What are you talking about ? Eastus—Well, read it yourself. It say plain: “Just captured two lions. Sending details by mail.” There was a fearful crash as the train struck the car. A few seconds later Mr. and Mrs. Pickens crawled out of the wreckage. Mrs. Pickens opened her mouth to say something, but her husband stopped her. “Never mind talking,” he snapped. “I got my end of the car across. You were driving the back seat, and if you let it get hit it’s no fault of mine!” Garageman—“Check your oil?” Motorist--“No, I’ll take it with me.” When found robbing the cash box in the fish store, be nonchalant— smoke a herring. Customer (at riding academy)—“I want a saddle horse.” Riding Master—“What kind of a saddle do you want, English or Mexican ?” Customer—“What’s the difference?” Riding Master—“English saddles are perfectly plain, and the Mexican have a horn.” Customer—“Give me one with a horn. I’m not used to the traffic.” jji rji V She (to husband after argument)—“All right, have it my way.” “I got a letter from the college that says our Nellie’s been stealin’.” “What?” “Says she’s talcin’ home economics.” V ' fi V “I suppose you’ll see Trojan’s column in Rome.” “Yes, I’ll probably read it every day.” 130 The Analecta Howlers Lord Macaulay suffered from gout and wrote all his poems in lambic feet. School boards were not introduced until 1870. Previous to this small slates had to be used. Magna Charta was good and kind and everybody liked her. She was strong. George Washington was the founder of steam. His first steam engine was called the locomotive. The opposite of evergreen is nevergreen. The population of London is a bit too thick. The only signs of life in the Tundras are a few stunted corpses. Joan of Arc was called Joan of Arc because after taking Orleans she married Noah. Definition of “Craft Guild”—This is when a man makes a poor thing, shines it up, and sells it to the people for twice as much as it is worth. A skeleton is a man with his inside out and his outside off. Quinine is the bark of a tree; canine is the bark of a dog. Parallel lines never meet unless you bend one or both of them. A poetic licence is a licence you get from the Post Office to keep poets. You get one also if you want to keep a dog. It costs 50 cents and call it a dog licence. The opposite of flat-chested is humpbacked. A damsel is a little plum. R.I.P.—Return immediately please. Syncopation is emphasis on a note which is not in a piece. Post-mortem—After twelve o’clock. A compliment is when you say something to another which he and we know is not true. Foreigners are neutralized when they settle in England. There Was a Man There was a man who figured that By driving good and fast He’d get his car across the track Before the train had past. He’d miss the engine by an inch He’d make the train crew sore; There was a man who figured, that— There isn’t any more. The Analecta 131 (Hollpgp fells!!

The Analecta L’ENVOI In our year-book we have attempted to outline in our own peculiar way the events of our school life. It was our desire to please everyone—even the teachers. Perhaps we have, maybe we haven’t. However, we ask you to accept this Analecta for whatever it is worth to you. Whether it may recall in later years the many memories of your school life or whether it may only remain on the shelf, there to be coated with dust and thrown out on “spring-housecleaning day.” May we heartily thank all the students in Central High who have in any way aided us in the production of this book. We thank Miss Moore and Mr. Forsythe for their invaluable assistance as supervising editors. In thanking our advertisers we assure them that you will do all in your power to aid us and to repay them, by patronizing their various concerns. Your co-operation in this matter is most essential. On behalf of our adver¬ tisers then, we urge your patronage, and once more thank them for their splendid support. This Analecta is not perfect. But who said it was? We have made some changes which we hope are for the better. We would like to have made more changes to produce the best. Nevertheless a great deal of long, hard and faithful work has been done in producing this book, and in view of this fact we commend it to you. In conclusion we wish the next year’s staff of the Analecta the greatest success. May they produce a year-book far better than this. We feel sure that they will,—holding up higher than we have done—the traditions of our C.C.I. Leaving the next year’s Editor and his Staff to carry on in a more worthy manner. We remain, THE ANALECTA STAFF. 134 The Analecta 136 The Analecta S-............................

A tiny Gas Flame or an Electric Heating Element and a trickle of water, THAT’S ALL. Two students making a thesis on Refrigeration, at the Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden, discovered HOW TO MAKE COLD WITH HEAT, and received two million eight hundred thousand dollars cash for their patents.
