JESSEN 10 The Analecta VALEDICTORY As we pronounce this lingering farewell, and we seek to discover what our four High School years have brought us, no mere emotional sentimentality must sway our thoughts. The happy friendships, the disappointments, the glor¬ ious experiences and the disillusionments have their rightful place in our reck¬ oning, but one subordinate to a greater issue. For in estimating the value of school life, one question with its sincere, unbiased answer, must stand out in sharp relief against the clamor of thronging memories .... “How well are we fitted to meet the problems with which the future will confront us? In faithful consideration of this matter, we must evaluate not only the opportunities offered, but also the use made of these opportunities. School has offered us knowledge primarily, but not only knowledge. Through its teachers, comes association with scholarly men and women, eager to im¬ part more than book-learning, more than curricula requirements. They strive to develop a sense of the right use of all learning, which is Wisdom. School has offered us the privilege of living with others, sharing their ideas and aspir¬ ations. We have been taught to think, and to be interested in men and af¬ fairs. In our council and our clubs, we have been shown the value of a train¬ ing, not only academic, but social as well, and in this “social training”, our outlook on the beliefs and the ideals of others has been broadened. But al¬ though we realize that all the value of our schooling does not lie between the covers of our text books, we should never belittle the contribution made by a thorough mastering of our studies. For in accomplishing this, we also un¬ consciously acquire the power to think, to concentrate and to apply ourselves. These are the opportunities, — how well have we used them? But one more word needs to be said, and that to the undergraduates. In the long roll call of graduating classes, each answers in a greater or lesser degree to the high ideals of fair play and efficiency, leaving its mark on the life of the school. We will soon be Yesterday, but you are to-day and To¬ morrow. In you lies the life and spirit of the school. “To you we fling the torch. Be yours to hold it high!” This is our challenge . Farewell! MARY BEARD, XII “B.” 1935. The Analecta 13 Another year - another school cycle - another series of sports - another edition of the Analecta. This, in brief, is an outline of the activities of the Central Collegiate Istitute for the past year. To some, more than others, one or more of these interests were more pronounced, possibly because of personal interests in them. But we must face the fact that this has been no outstanding year for C. C. I. For while the school has gained headway in some activities, it has lost it in others. The hockey team, the Girl’s Basket¬ ball team, Rugby team, and the Dramatic Club are to be praised. The others need your support. The literary contributions for the Analecta were few and far between. The Literary section of any year book must, of necessity, be composed by students, other than those on the staff. No recognition whatever was given to the writing of any essay on the History of the School. Very few students even attempted to compose such an essay. No one seems to be interested in the school of former days. More co-operation, in the writing of literary contributions is needed. Next year inspire more interest and make the Analecta a far better publication than our efforts have given you. Interest was created in a Boy’s Basketball Team this term, but in more ways than one, it was poorly supported. The squad was not allowed to use their own assembly hall because of conflicting activities. Nor did the team have a coach, the one essential on any team, no matter what kind. Next year let the team have the facilities which they lacked in this. Give them the privilege of using their home floor, and, above all, provide for them a coach. A capable, sports-minded student could help, inspire and encourage a Central team to victory. Needless to say, the Lits met with much success, while the Annual Concert fell down at their expense. The concert was certainly not given the true support of each and every student in the school. Whether it was a lack of publicity or general uninterestedness is not known. Again, perhaps, the failure may be placed upon the fact, that two of the plays were repeated. It depends on the students themselves, whether or not the Annual Concert will be repeated through the years. All the clubs during the year met with favorable success, with the possible exception of the Alumni, which has had the least support of all. Or¬ ganized in 1932 they shortly afterwards staged their first and only social. Be¬ cause this function was not successful financially, another has not been at¬ tempted, with the result that the Alumni, with its great possibilities, has slowly faded into insignificance. Interest should be stimulated in the organization by the present graduating students of C.C.I. Regular meetings and Socials should be held. The Alumni, adeptly managed, could be an organ¬ ization of which Central would be justly proud. 14 The Analecta The Spokes Club membership has shrunken considerably in the last term. In a club of this type; one in which a person learns the art of public speaking, short broadcast talks and other unique presentations, the student body should take great interest. But, unfortunately, modern youth would much rather go to the theatre or dance the day away, than to thresh out a problem of economic difficulty. Here we have briefly endeavored to show you where the activities of the school have had excellent support and where others have been partial or complete failures. There isn’t really much the present graduates can do about it now, except to give their best for the month that remains. It is the others, the undergraduates, that we challenge. We have endeavored to show what is wrong and endeavored to suggest ways and means for remedy. You will be the ones responsible for the next year’s work. The weight of all will fall heavily upon your shoulders, as it did upon our own. So do the best you can, and encourage others to do the same. If only a meagre fifty percent were to do this, Central would become one of the premiere high schools in Canada; if everyone were to do this, Central would indeed be classed in school heaven. However it may be, we are proud of this school of ours, and, in the future we will always want to say with great pride, “We graduated from Central”. ,, ' v JACK FULTON and CLARENCE GRANT. THE CALL OF THE SEA Black rock, and booming sea, Wild spray and screaming gulls, Cold, gray surf, and a leaden sky — They get one, somehow. Tugs, liners, gleaming sails, Slim masts piercing skies of gold, Belching smoke, and misty haze — They get one, somehow. When we leave the sea for the west. When we move to a different land, Our hearts are sore for the shore we love — For it gets us yet, somehow. We want to go back to our native land, To the sea, and the gulls, and the ships, And gaze again on the sails of home — For it always get us, somehow. ■hbhhmbhh The Analecta 15 SCHOLARSHIPS STEVE COSBURN— Steve won the Grade XI I.O.D.E.

The first steps toward this end were taken by the ’32 classes and in March of that year, the Organization of the Central Association was completed. An execu¬ tive consisted of:— President .... Cameron Sinclair Vice-President ... Earle Newcombe Secretary-Treasurer . Ralph Rogers Due to continued lack of support from the students, the activities of the club have been limited to an Alumni. Where is our Alumni? Why are there no more Alumni Balls? The fact is that the Alumni is now a dead issue and it is up to the students to revive it. We need an Alumni, so that with our Graduation, our relations with the school are not cut off. This year let’s see to it that we have an Alumni.

EXCHANGES Owing to the shortage of last year’s issue of the Analecta, it has been impossible to maintain this year’s Exchange Department at the usual capacity, and consequently we find ourselves with fewer magazines at our disposal than usual. Quantity alone, however, has been lacking, for the books which have been received are tributes to the ingenuity and enterprise of the staffs which produced them and the schools which they represented. May the comments contained herein, do them justice, and may they rise to even greater glory than that which rewarded their efforts in 1934. The Wykehamist, England— Ideas from across the ocean.

Into every rut and hole it had been, But still it chugged bravely and I bore the din. Headlights and fenders; haywire held in check, It was plain to see, the thing was a wreck. The weather was warm and the moon was shining, So I took out the girl, for whom I was pining. Along the highway, it chugged, as we sighed, Oh for those joys of a moonlight ride!” Down by the old bridge we parked to save gas, And we talked to each other of our past. “Brrrr, it’s chilly and I’m hungry as a bear.” “O.K.,” I returned, “We’re practically there.” I trod on the starter, response there was none, “Now what could have happened with the son-of-a-gun!” As we sat in amazement in that place. Up rolled George in his “Super-Eight.” “Hi there. Helen,” loudly he cried. My throat choked up, as she accepted his ride. Against the steering-wheel I leaned in disgust. “Why you dirty, low-down, so and so bus!” I cranked and I swore and I pounded the hood, I tried all I knew, but it just did no good. For many minutes I must have cursed and roared; As I condemned to FIRE, Henry, his son, and this Ford. It was over an hour I must have let past. Before I realized “We’d run out of gas.” Censored, but use your imagination. —Jack Fulton, XII “A” IMPRESSIONISTIC PARAGRAPH On coming to the top of the rising ground, we saw, ahead of us, the long, narrow Valley of Examinations. It took about nine months of mild preparation, and then a few weeks of very concentrated preparation, before we dared enter that valley with any assurance, and even then, one could very easily stumble and fall:—into a year of repetition. To pass through the valley unharmed, one must have ample protection against that monster, Biology; must have studied thoroughly the habits of Physics, Algebra and Trigon¬ ometry, in order to tame them. He must be an excellent swimmer, to swim the Composition River and Literature Lake. There are also those well-known but ferocious beasts, French, Latin and History — to be quelled and con¬ quered, before one can boast that he is through that terrible and exciting valley. The safest way across the valley, is to bridge it with concentration, thorough knowledge and confidence. —W. F. McEwen. LITERARY Editors: Mary Switzer Doug. Hutchinson The Analecta 69 HISTORY OF CALGARY SCHOOLS (in particular C.C.I.) “Calgary School District No. 19,” the gentleman said. Thomas Mendal pressed his ear closer to the door which separated him from the owner of the voice, who was closeted with his parents in the chamber beyond that door. Thomas was a lusty lad, who had just completed his first decade of terrestrial experience; a mischievous spark of humanity; and not wholly stupid, yet hard to teach. He had lived in the small settlement in Calgary East of the Elbow River since he was four years of age, when he came west with his parents on the newly-built Canadian Pacific Railway. For all his ten years of activity, Tommy was an ignorant urchin. His knowledge was particularly deficient in the science cf scholastic adventure and the popular art of truancy. Tommy, then, quite in harmony with his style, was exercising his noted talent at eavesdropping, to the gratification of his intense inquisitiveness and the furtherance of his limited knowledge. What was the gentleman saying? “Calgary School District No. 19.just organized.Jurret, chairman, Peterson and Lougheed, secretary and treasurer.Finance, Property and Discipline Committees...soliciting for students.good teacher... Mr. Spencer Douglas.” Tom’s ears ached from the continued application of pressure. Further¬ more, he understood not what the inference was about. What was a “Disci¬ pline Committee?” What was a Secretary? It was shortly after the gentlemen’s visit to the Mendal home, a bright day in the latter part of April, 1885, that Master Thomas Mendal spent his first day in the first organized public school in Calgary. The school convened in a frame building at Ninth Avenue and Fifth Street East, the only building between the Canadian Pacific Railway Station (near its present location) and the North-West Mounted Police Fort (site now occupied by Canadian National Freight Yards). Tom did not have the privilege of using snow white paper and pretty blue ink with which to practice his hieroglyphic de¬ signs, nor did he preside over a neatly-mounted, smoothly-planed desk: his domain consisted of a wooden bench and roughly-carved desk, a slate and a stump of slate pencil — and accidentally when he attempted (as he occasionally did) to rule with a despotic hand, the learned emperor would interpose and suppress any rebellious inclinations with a liberal administration of hickory force. The Calgary Public School organization commenced almost immediately to expand. The growing population (which spread west of the Elbow River) and consequent increase of school children necessitated the occupation of an additional building on the site now held by the Safeway Stores, and the en¬ gagement of another teacher. As if to alleviate the-congested school rooms, non-resident pupils were charged the prodigious fee cf five cents per day for the unequalled privileges which the Calgary Public School offered. But, still the accommodation was insufficient, and in 1887, the first Calgary School building was erected at a cost of eight thousand dollars. This was the south¬ ern half of the present Central Public School. Meanwhile Thomas Mendal (a typical Calgarian boy, of that decade) was displaying at least weak signs of improvement. Thereupon, he was transferred to this new edifice, the pride of the Calgary School Board, where a few years later he took advantage of the musical, chemical, physical and manual instruction then offered. He completed his education in 1895 and received a position in a leading business concern in the town. The detailed historical progress of the Calgary School system from 1890 is of little concern to us. One branchy however, may be noted here. It was during the boom period of Calgary’s development before the 70 The Analecta HISTORY OF CALGARY SCHOOLS—Continued Great War in 1914, that most of the familiar sandstone school buildings in present use were erected. Among these was one which may rightfully claim the honor of being the first distinct high school in Calgary — the Central Collegiate Institute. This construction was the proud accomplishment of the School Board in the year 1908. Nevertheless, it must not be thought that the year 1908 marked the birth of the Collegiate Institute — it was merely the year when the High School gained its nominal independence. The Embryo is found back in the old Central School on Fifth Avenue in the early years when Thomas Mendal was one of its loyal patrons. At that time, the senior grades were known as. Standards VI, VII and VIII, and required the services of only one teacher. It was at the opening of the fall session in 1903, that the senior pupils were transferred to a separate building on Seventh Avenue, where the dignity of the High School as a Secondary Institution was recgonized. Mr. H. A. Sinnot, B.A., who later became chairman of the Calgary Public School Board, was the first principal, and Miss E. J. McPhail was his assistant. These teachers shared the responsibility of instructing some score of Calgary pion¬ eers in the ways of learning. The senior class, including Standards VII and VIII, was composed of not less than ten representatives of the towns’ promis¬ ing youth; and the intensity of their zeal was well illustrated by the significant name which one of the more active minds invented for the newly-established institute, namely, “Sleepy Hollow.” The following year, an addition to the staff was made in the person J. A. Smith, B.A. as teacher of Mathmetics. Mr. Smith later became Inspector of schools for the Calgary District. In September, 1907, another advance¬ ment was noted. The work was divided into four departments under two additional teachers; E. L. Hill, B. A., head of the science department, and A. C. Newcombe, B. A., Classics Department. At the end of March, 1908, A. C. Newcombe assumed the duty of headmaster, former principal Sinnet having resigned, while Walter Scott, B.A. was appointed Mathmatics In¬ structor. Great enthusiasm was shown at the opening of the new building on Thirteenth Avenue in 1908. The increased attendance demanded an in¬ creased teaching staff. The name of Mr. E. W. B. Dykes, newly-appointed Commercial master, will live through years of time, bearing with it the memory of invaluable services rendered by that gentleman in behalf of Calgary’s first High School. The next two years saw drastic changes in the staff, and rapid multiplication in attendance. By 1911 it was necessary to build the northern section of the school in order to accomodate the two hundred an eighty students who registered that year. A staff of eight teachers was employed with W. G. Carpenter as principal. Mr. Carpenter had accepted the position of Science master in the Calgary High School in 1909, and the demonstration of his outstanding abilities gained him his promotion in 1911. He is now well-known in Calgary as Dr. W. G. Carpenter, Principal of the Institute of Technology and Art. Many societies were organized to promote the general welfare of the students. Among these was a Literary Society, which offered excellent train¬ ing in public work and was supported by many students. It was in this society that the Analecta (which we trust you are now enjoying) had its origin. The General Athletic Association was the favorite society of the boys, which offered the valuable pastimes of baseball, football, basketball, lacrosse and hockey. Splendid players of the latter named sport won for the school the Ashdown and Ballantyne Thophy in 1911. A tennis club for both boys and girls, bespoke increased interest in this healthful sport. In all these societies The Analecta 71 HISTORY OF CALGARY SCHOOLS—Continued the students enjoyed the right to organize and act, while the teachers occu¬ pied advisory positions. Some of the clubs in the school at the present time are the outcome of those early organizations. The Central Collegiate Institute has undergone divers changes during the years that intervene betwee n 1911 and 1935, yet the same spirit of enthus¬ iasm, zeal, and expansion prevails among the teachers and pupils. In 1916 Dr. J. M. Hutchinson took over the administration of the school and under his capable hand the C. C. I. vessel has been successfully piloted over boistering ocean waves and through treacherous shoals and sails to-day - the ruffled waters of 1935 a ship of distinction and splendor. Truly a word of tribute is due to Dr. J. M. Hutchinson and his loyal band of co-workers, for the unparalleled way in which they have shouldered the responsibilities and borne the heavy burdens that their positions thrust upon them. Truly the Germans and the Millers, truly the Hutchinsons and Flumer- felts moulded from the Thomas Mendal of to-day bear ample testimony to the devoted labors of the of the C. C. I. faculty. May the school long remian under their worthy control. WILFRED JOHNSTON, XI “D.” THE ERRAND OF MERCY (First Prize Serious) The sharp crack of a whip rang out on the still, cold air. A driver with his dog team and sleigh appeared from behind a hillock, breaking the monotony of the dazzling-white snow. The young driver encouraged his team with cheery shouts as they toiled up the slope. Charlie Durant was thirty miles from Klondike, on the trail to Lone Star. An Indian runner had brought news to Klondike that, at the little mining settlement of Lone Star, men were dying of a terrible sickness which was known as smallpox. Serum to cure this disease was kept in most towns of the frozen North and there was a supply at Klondike. How to get it to Lone Star immediately was the prob¬ lem, for there were no aeroplanes at Klondike. Durant, with the best team and sleigh in the town, had volunteered to take the serum. As soon as possible he set off, travelling light. That night when he camped, he was forty miles on the ninety mile trek. He unharnessed the tired, hungry dogs and fed them their rations — a pound and a half of fish each. Then he prepared and ate a hearty supper of bacon, biscuit and tea. If his luck held out,he calculated on reaching Lone Star late next day. Soon he crawled into his sleeping-bag and fell asleep near the warming influence of the fire. Next morning, Durant awoke before the first gleam of dawn. Quickly harnessing the team, he started before the Arctic sun rose over the white horizon. The trail was packed hard by previous travellers. Most of the track was on the frozen surface of a little stream called Fish Creek, with the occasional short cuts on land to avoid the curves of the river. At a swift, narrow part of the stream, an ominous crackling was heard under the feet of the lead-dog, showing the presence of thin or “rubber ice.” The leader was not lacking in canine intelligence, for he immediately stopped and lay down on the ice to spread his weight over a greater area. Durant, pulling from the back of the sleigh, then hauled the team into safety. At four o’clock that afternoon he was in sight of Lone Star, owing to the record running of the team. Then, suddenly, the sky darkened. 72 The Analecta THE ERRAND OF MERCY—Continued An Arctic blizzard struck him. The first terrific blast almost knocked him over. It was followed by others in rapid succession that sounded like sol¬ diers storming a rampart. In two minutes, the blinding snow completely hid the dogs from Charlie’s sight. Should he camp here or risk his life in this formid¬ able blizzard? He decided to continue for two reasons: first, men were suffer¬ ing, dying from the scourge of the dread disease that only the serum in his sleigh could cure; second, there were insufficient provisions to last the time the blizzard, in all probability, would continue. So, with head bowed, Durant fought the fury of the storm. He had to rely on the lead-dog to keep on the trail, for soon it was blotted completely from his sight. Stubbornly he pushed forward, shielding his face from the wind-driven sleet that cut like a knife. At length the intense cold began to affect him. A delicious drowsiness stole over him. How delightful it would be to rest and sleep! He was temporarily aroused by a jerk of the steering pole under his hand. They were descending a hill. Could it be Caribou Hill at the bottom of which was the settlement of Lone Star? With an effort he swung himself into the sleigh. A minute later he saw a twinkle of lights. Soon he was at the improvised hospital at Lone Star, a huge log hut on the outskirts of the settlement, and the precious serum was delivered to the doctor eagerly awaiting it. Next morning at the mining village there were two heroes — Charlie Durant and his no less popular Caesar, the magnificent Saint Bernard lead-dog who had kept to the trail so faithfully. It is scarcely necessary to mention that Durant never sold Caesar although he received some very handsome offers. Charlie’s unselfish and voluntary act will be long remembered by the inhabitants of Lone Star, for the serum checked the outbreak of smallpox almost immediately, thus saving many lives. —Roy Jones, X “A” THE VOICE (Second Prize Serious) You are listening to me, John Adams.

He was worried. To-night, the annual Winthrop Ball was to take place, and Sir James Winthrop III, who was to have been the host, had eloped. Sir William’s social standing was at stake; all the high nobility of London had been invited for the purpose of meeting Sir James, who had just returned from College in America, and there wouldn’t be any Sir James. So preoccupied was he over the disgrace that would fall on the good names Winthrop and Norfolk, that he failed to notice a pair of dusty legs protuding from beneath a leafy tree. The next moment, the astounded lord found himself plowing up a goodly portion of moist earth with his nose. Angrily raising himself to remonstrate with the cause of his fall, he nearly swallowed his false teeth in amazement, for, gazing reproachfully at him, in the form of a typical Weary Willie of the road, was the exact image of his nephew, Sir James Winthrop III. “Say,” gasped Sir Wdlliam, “how would you like to earn a hundred dollars?” “A hundred bucks,” gasped the astonished tramp, “What for?” “Listen,” said his lordship. And for the next fifteen minutes, he earnestly unfolded a plan into the astonished ears of an equally astonished tramp. Chapter Two In a spacious bedroom of the Winthrop Castle, a red-faced Sir James Winthrop, nee Eddie Dugan, was vainly attempting to insert a forefinger between a stiff, white collar and a tortured neck. “This darned horse-collar will choke me,” he qasped. “Just be patient,” said a nervous Sir William, “and for goodness’ sakes, remember my instructions. “Say,” he added suspiciously, “how long were you in school?” “Up to Grade Five, replied Eddie proudly. There came a discreet knock on the door, just in time to prevent Sir William from dropping the thing entirely. “The guests are arriving, sir.” said the dignified butler. “We — we will be right down,” choked Sir William. “Now listen, Edward, he said tragically, “just remember that you are supposed to be Sir James Winthrop III, and above all, be polite.” “Just watch me, Bill.” beamed Eddie, “I’ll knock ‘em off their pins!” “That’s what I’m afraid of,” moaned Sir William, “ but it’s too late now, you’ve got to meet the guests.” The Analecta 75 “YOUR MISTAKE MISTER”—Continued Chapter Three Ten minutes later. Sir William was vainly looking around for a nice hole that he could crawl in and pull in after him. The cause of all his trouble was, of course, Eddie, who, in the role of Sir James Winthrop III, was having the time of ihs life, and incidentally was robbing Sir William of ten years’ growth. In an effort to “be polite,” Eddie was overdoing himself; a steady stream of expletives such as: “Put it there, miss,” — “Hi yah, pal,” — “Take off your coat and stay awhile,” — “Where ' ve you been all my life?” — had fallen on the astonished ears of the lords and ladies attending. Sir William managed to control his blood pressure long enough to say, “Eddie, I’m as good as ruined, but I’ll tell them you picked up those words in America, and you were just fooling.” “Look,” he said a minute later, “here comes the last one. Now, for my sake, greet her like a gentleman.” “Gosh, Bill,” said Eddie, “I thought I was doing okay, but if I haven ' t, just listen to this!” Taking the lady’s hand (a duchess) he said grandly: “How are you my dear duchship? Very pleased to meetcha. The champagne is right over by the window.” The astonished lady nearly dropped her lorgnette, but recovering her poise, joined the puzzled assembly below. Sir William weakly groped for some support, and muttering something about a bromo-Seltzer, tottered off to the kitchen. Eddie, who had been told to entertain the distinguished guests, did the best he could, which consisted of giving an imitation of a chicken laying an egg. He then approached a portly dowager with the intention of engaging her in conversation, but imaqine his surprise when she tacked off to the star¬ board and went into a huddl e with a duke. Chapter Four When Sir William returned, weak but determined, he found the gathering broken up into several puzzled groups, all covertly watching Eddie, who, blissfully unaware of the sensation he was creating, was endeavoring to show an indignant butler how to turn somersaults without hurting his neck. Furiously, Sir William drew him aside and proceeded to give him a piece of his mind. “Just a minute,” said Eddie, heatedly, “this is your mistake, mister. Can I help it if those stuck-up clucks don’t appreciate me?” Sir William was just about to reply, when there was a commotion at teh door. Across the hall, leading a blushing girl, strode a young man, who, upon seeing Sir William, called: “Hello uncle, meet the bride.” It was Sir James Winthrop III. The bewildered assembly heard a tragic groan. “This - this is the most unkindest cut of all!,” followed by a sigh reminiscent of a dying hippipotamus. Then a thud, while silence reigned. “WLat is this all about? asked Sir James, looking into a mirror, at what was in real life, Eddie Dugan, knight of the road. “I guess ole Bill must have passed out,” muttered the pseudo-lord. Then, aware of the accusing glances and the oncoming Sir James, he discreetly, but nevertheless, huriedly, withdrew. 76 The Analecta “YOUR MISTAKE MISTER”— Continued Chapter Five Needless to say, the whole story came out, and no one was surprised when Sir William left suddenly on a journey to Timbuctoo, Meanwhile, Eddie Dugan, the now famous “Lord for a Night,” was. endeavoring to get rid of a hundred dollars as fast as he could eat and drink it, —Roddy Dewar, IX A.” MYSTERY OF THE MISSING LALA (Second Prize Humorous) Alio! ’Alio!” said the voice excitedly, “Ees thees the ‘Popoff Defect¬ ive Agency.” “This is the Popoff Detective Agency, ' Madame,” said the manager sleepily. (He had just awakened from a nap). “Is there anything we can do for you?” “Oui Oui!” shrilled Madame. “Send me ze agency, queeck!” She burst into tears. “My Lala, she ’as been stolen!” “Huh!” said the Manager, sitting up with a jerk. “A kidnapping case! H’m ■—• interesting — very interesting. I ' ll send our detective down to find out the details.” “I want ze whole agency,” wept Madame. “Madame,” answered the Manager, haughtily. “We are sending the whole agency.” A half-hour later there was a knock on Madame’s door, and a short, fat man, wearing a Sherlock-Holmes’ hat, smoking a pipe, and carrying a small black bag, entered. “Apartment of Mme. Zaza?” he asked. “I am Mme. Zaza. Are you ze agency?” “Spoof’s the name. Inspector Spoof.” The Inspector bowed. “But why you ave ze funny ’at? I am not ’aving a costume party. I ask you to find my Lala, ze bee-oo-tiful Lala. Oh me!” Mme. started to use her hanky, and her nose became a lovely deep crimson. The Inspector bowed again. (It was a habit of his — he thought it continental and dignified). “I am a detective, dear lady. I dress like Sher¬ lock Holmes. It promotes atmosphere, and makes me feel more at home.” “I should like to do a little questioning, first of all.” He took out a little black book and then shot a question at her. “Where were you on the night of June 13th?” Madame jumped, as he shouted and looked at him with bewilderment. “Monsieur,” she wailed, wringing her hands. “ Ow should I remem¬ ber what I did on a certain night, five, seex, months ago? I ask you to find my Lala. Zen FIND my Lala!” “There, there!” said the Inspector, soothingly. “I always ask that question first when working on a case. It kind of brings me to the right pitch to solve a mystery.” “Bah!” said Mme. “Find Lala!” “Inspector Spoof never fails!” exclaimed the Inspector, with a magnifi¬ cent gesture. “Your Lala will be found. To proceed with the questioning, what is your occupation?” The Analecta 77 MYSTERY OF THE MISSING LALA— Continued “Occupation? Mme’s face broke into a delightful smile. “I am an opera seenger. Some day I shall be ze greatest in ze whole world. Leesten!” She sang up the scale, managing to reach high “A” with a screech somewhat like the brakes of a suddenly-stopped car. “H’m!” said the Inspector, and wrote down —• “Opera Singer.” Then under “Remarks” he put: “She ran up the scale but tripped over the last note.” “Next.” he began. “Oh, that ees not all,” interrupted Mme. “I am an actress, too. I am an imitator. Watch!” She passed her hand languidly over her brow and spoke slowly and mincingly, “I wish to be all alone.” “Ees eet not good?” she demanded, excitedly, turning to the Inspector. “I am a second Garbo.” “Yeah?” said the Inspector, dryly, and wrote down; “Garbo imitator. Only resemblance in the size of the feet.” “Next question. When did you first miss the subject?” “Thees morning,” said Mme. becoming sorrowful again. “I was going to give to ’er ze breakfact and — and —• ” (she puffed like a pair of bellows), “Lala was GONE!” Mme. picked up the Persian cat that was rubbing against her feet and made the unoffending pussy’s fur all wet with her tears. “Have you any idea who could have kidnapped her?” the Inspector asked. “Did she have any enemies? Could you afford to pay a ransom for her?” “Keednap! Enemies! Ransom!” shrieked Mme., throwing up her hands helplessly. “I swoon! I faint! You theenk I am meelyonaire? Yes? No?” “Calm yourself, calm yourself, dear lady,” soothed the Inspector.“We shall try a different line of tactics. We shall search for clues. After you, Mme.” he said, gallantly bowing in spite of the risk of those sudden little pops which meant burst-off buttons. Madame led the way. “Thees ees the leeving-room,” she said, with q wave of her hand. “You may examine here first.” The Inspector lifted one or two pillows on the couch, bent — (with great danger to the buttons) — to see if there was anyone hiding under it, and examined an occasional article with a magnifying glass. Finally he stopped at a little table holding a few knick-knacks. “H’ m,” he murmured, opening a cigarette box and taking out a cigar¬ ette. “These look good.” He put away his pipe, and placed the cigarette in his mouth. “Got a match?” he asked. “Oh!” blushed Madame, looking down. “My friends — they ’ave try to arrange a match for me weeth a young actor. But I do not like ' im, she pouted. “I weel choose my own ’usband.” The inspector choked, and quietly fished around in his pockets, until he found a cigarette-lighter. “Not bad,” he nodded at her when he had puffed at it for a few moments. “In fact quite good.” He opened the box and Mme. open-mouthed watched him help himself to a big handful of her best cigarettes. “We will examine the kitchen next, ’ he said nonchalantly, and calmly walked in. Once there, he looked in the oven, snooped through the cupboards and finally searched the ice-box. “A-hem!” he said big-eyed, when he had opened the door. There was some roast chicken, potato-salad, and strawberry short-cake, deliciously arrayed before his eyes. He turned to Mme. and bowed. 78 The Analecta MYSTERY OF THE MISSING LALA— Continued “I pay homage to a great artist as well as a great singer,” he said flatteringly. (The Inspector would have made a good diplomat.) ‘‘If your food tastes as beautiful as it looks, Mme., I take off my hat to you.” (The Inspector had left his hat in the hall but that didn’t, matter —• it was just as effective). . Mme. blushed with pleasure. ‘Oh, you are too generous, Monsieur. Eef you tasted eet, you would take back all you ’ave say.” ‘‘I shall prove it to you-;’L he answered quickly, and helping himself generously to some of everything; sat down at the table to eat it. “You are wrong, Mme.,” he said after the first mouthful . “It is perfection itself.” And the delighted Mme. forgot that he was eating her supper. “Tell me,” he said, when he had started on his short-cake. “What did Lala look like?” Mme. wrung her hands. “She was so small and dainty and all a lovely red-gold color.” “You mean her hair?” he asked. “ ’air?” Mme. looked at his pityingly. “ ow can a gold-feesh ’ave ’air?” The Inspector choked for the second time that afternoon, and Mme. had to slap him soundly on the back. When he had recovered, he stood up. “Mme.,” he said haughtily, “I thought that Lala was your sister! You have misled me.” He started to walk out with his nose in the air, but tripped over the Persian cat, lying on a pillow by the door, and sat down heavily beside it. “Why don ' t you look where you’re going,” he yelled at it —, and stopped. He reached over and picked up from the pillow a little bone like the spine of a minnow. Then he jumped up and excitedly handed it to Mme. “I have found your Lala, Mme.” he exclaimed. “THERE is your kidnapper!” He pointed to the cat. “My kittee!” she screamed, shaking her fist at it, You knock over my bowl and eat my feesh, eh? I foex you. You get no supper.” She turned to the Inspector. “You are so clevaire, Inspector,” she sniffed, “You ’ave solve’ the mystery. But for you, I would nevaire ’ave know what became of my Lala. You should be promote. But see I reward you. I geeve you feefty dollairs!” She accompanied him to the door. “Au revoir, Mon cher Inspector.” “So long,” beamed the happy Inspector, and feeling it his duty to make some return, he added, flatteringly, “Never you mind about Lala, Mme. With you in the apartment,, it doesn’t need another ornament.” “Oh! Een-spec-tor!” blushed Mme., looking down. “I am sure you say zat to all ze girls.” “Er-umph!” said the Inspector, and got out as fast as he could... ..“And just about all I did to earn that fifty,” he chuckled, de¬ lightedly to himsqlf, as he walked home, “Was eat a most excellent meal!” —D. Nager, XI “A.” “I can’t marry you,” said the Justice of the Peace to the nervous bride¬ groom. “If this girl is only seventeen, you have to get her father’s consent.” “Consent,” yelled the groom. “Say, who do you think this old ( guy with the shot-gun is — Daniel Boone?” The Analecta 79 TO THE SEA (First Prize Serious) Oh, boundless Sea! Thou hoary-visaged seer, Thy face with age-old wrinkles deeply creased; Which aeons have not lessened or increased; Thy moods so many - joyous, sad and drear; Thine endless shores, a meagre, wavering frame; Thy matchless strength that man shall never tame. To thee I sing, and lift thy praises high, For thee I long - Wert thou forever nigh! When, first I knew thee, then I loved thee well, As o’er thy rocky cliffs I roamed and watched thy flow Each sandy curvings until far below, Thy happy wavelets, racing with the swell. Filled every hermit cave, and then with license free, Began to mount the jagged steep - to me! And even when retreating from that stern resisting wall, Thy surging pulse would beckon with a clear unerring call. All beauty, life and freedom wert thou then to me, Twas then you set me yearning for thy liberty. My vision next of thee was from a storm-tossed sail. Thy tempest voice was raging hoarse and wild. I watched thy treacherous borderland - an armour coat of mail. I watched a trembling mother clasp her sleeping child, I felt thy demon anger twist the silly keel, I saw the veering tiller crash, I saw the pilot reel. You showed me then your cruelty that caused this scene so dire, Twas then I sensed thee merciless, ’twas then I knew thine ire. But now so calm and still you lie, so tranquilly you rest, That scarcely can I sense the cry that tore the mother’s breast. And with such peace and quietness thy soft waves kiss the skies. That hardly can I call to mind the infant’s dying cries. Thy gentle lapping waves caress thy shores in wondrous restfulness. And with a low sweet, rippling beat thy wavelets shed abroad A sense of deep security, of a loving watching God. —Mary Beard, XII “B.” WIND IN THE GRASS (Second Prize Serious) I bend and lean, And sway and dream. In my stem’s cool green The home of the pretty lark I hide; The fluttering wing, Bright eyes shining, The cry of the nestling — All do here in safety abide. 80 The Analecta WIND IN THE GRASS—Continued Close beside. The fragrant violet grows; She pillows her head On my rustic bed, Or leans to me when the bright dew glows On my leaves everywhere in the fresh morning air. I whisper sweet dreams to the sleeping flowers; I touch with gentle finger The tree that far above me towers; I linger O’er the blue of murmuring waterside: In me the wandering winds confide; I sing the song of vagabond breeze — And catch the tune of fluttering leaves. Ah, wise am I, and secrets know: Bend low and listen, bend low — I know! I know! Swish - swish - swish. —Christine Van Der Mark, XII “B.” WINTER SUNSET (Third Prize Serious) Once more in crystal whiteness The world has grown serene, And summer’s grassy hillsides Have donned a purer green. The mountains glow, a cold still blue Against a low grey sky, As if prehistoric monsters Had laid them down to die. For a moment in the twilight The setting sun came through And in one blaze of glory Shone jewels of radiant hue. How molten rubies sparkling fire, A flaming orange the meadow, A crimson gold in silver bluffs; Then fading violet shadow. A blaze of light upon the snow — Then peaceful, gentle grey, Enwraps the earth with quiet sleep To close a winter’s day. Claude Brown. The Analecta 81 “IF” FOR CENTRALITES (First Prize Humorous) If you can keep your face when all about you. Are gigglers who would have you giggle too; If you can write your tests when teachers doubt you. What matter if you get a D or two? If you can wait, though bored to death by waiting In that oft-visited detention room. And while you write these lines so aggravating. Can wear a cheerful grin beneath the gloom; If you can dream —• and not get caught while dreaming; If you can think, just in the nick of time; If you can pass your neighbors notes by scheming. Yet scape the due reward for such a crime. If you can bear to see your name adorning The Weekly Weeper ' s scandal-loving page. If you can dance at Lits till nearly morning Nor care that some look on in envious rage; If you can make a heap of many school-books. And pack them home each night to make a show — And then, to-morrow, look as any fool looks, When asked for answers that you do not know; If you can force your nerve and heart and sinew, To “take it” hard and fast, or, at the game. Can cheer and shout with all the strength that’s in you, And, win or lose, make Whoopee just the same. If you can make it seem it were a virtue To drive the family limousine to school. Or, when you can’t, don’t look as if it hurt you. That walking with the crowds must be the rule; If you can fill each empty idle minute With sixty second’s worth of pranks and fun. At C.C.I. you surely will lie “in it,” And more — of real top-notchers you’ll be one! —Isobel Gregg, XI “A.” VAGABOND DAZE (Second Prize Humorous) The knight was young with eyes erratic. And ears and chin aristocratic, His droopy nose was quite emphatic. Vagabond was his trusty stead, No other horse could show such speed. As a Knight of the Bedchamber was he, He dressed his horse accordingly, With flowing trappings o’er his flanks. And colored fringe on its lean shanks. A maiden fair, in nearby tower. Had recently set up her bower. The Knight, with spy-glass in his hand, After consideration, planned That he would woo the damsel fair, He thought she was beyond compare. 82 The Analecta VAGABOND DAZE— Continued So, on his gallant horse he went, His mind on courting strongly bent. And thus, in colorful pompous state He rode o ' er the drawbridge to her gate. Promenading in the sun Was the damsel — his lovely one. Without troubling to dismount His love for her he did recount. Offered her his heart and hand, Promised her both house and land. But casting her eye-fringes low, The maiden softly murmured, “No.” He believed her. That surprised her. And who could have criticised her. For a Knight — so she pined.? Should give her time to change her mind. Stepping nearer in her scorn She trode on Vagabond’s pet corn. Vagabond reared with fiery grace. His august rider flew through space. And with resounding echo smote The yielding surface of the moat. “Why so pale and wan, fair lover?” Cried the maiden in great glee As the Knight sought to recover Some of his lost dignity. But he’d roused her sympathy. Love came forth along with glee. They were married in great state. The feasting was both gay and late. Now mid scenes of love and laughter, They live happy ever after. —Tayah Jamieson, XI “A.” AN ALGEBRA NIGHTMARE (Third Prize Humorous) They come creeping into my dreams at night, Those algebra problems that won’t come right, They grin with malice and laugh aloud, Shaking with mirth — round the bed they crowd. Trembling with fear, I watch with awe. As the X’s and Y’s lay down the law, WTh infinite scorn they laugh at my plea. That I had tried in vain to make them agree. They kiss in my face, as for mercy I cry. When X gave the verdict of “Guilty” with Y. My gaze fixed with horror as A comes at me, And I’m seized from behind by the good warden B. But hope swells once more as freedom I see, And with a lunge at my jailor I believe myself free, When suddenly, swiftly, I’m struck on the head! And open my eyes — on the floor by my bed! —Aileen Cranston, XII “B.” Editor: Betty Stirton The Analecta 85 THE ANNUAL CONCERT The Annual Concert took place in the Assembly Hall on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, the second and third of April. On Tuesday eve¬ ning, three plays were presented:— “There Shall Be Wings,” “The Drums of Oude (a one-act production), and “The Symphony in Illusion. The Dramatic Club, assisted by the Students’ Council, sponsors the Annual Con¬ cert every year. The Concert has always been the chief aim of the Dramatic Club’s efforts during the year, and it gives the public a chance to appreciate what is being done by the students of the school. “There Shall Be Wings,” by Mr. Thorlakson, is an historical drama of the great artist, Leonardo Da Vinci and his masterpiece, the Mona Lisa. Mr. Thorlakson took the powerful role of the artist and gave a wonderful performance. The whole cast played in a most convincing manner and dis¬ played great emotional talent. The musical arrangements of the play were by Mrs. W. T. Hobson. Others taking part were Edward Arnason, Helen Brown, Roger Flumerfelt, Mrs. I. Gislason, Mr. W. T. Hobson, Mr. G. Edwards. The second play, “The Drums of Oude,” was a one-act production by Austin Strong. It was a very difficult piece of work to interpret and at the same time to keep its action convincing and true to life. The occurrence of the Sepoy Rebellion in India in 1857, forms the colorful background of the melodrama. The capable acting by each member of the cast tended to in¬ crease the air of the mystery and suspense so urgently required in order to give proper atmosphere to the play. The leading roles, those of Captain McGregor and Lieutenant Hartley, were taken by Roger Flumerfelt and Ray Martyne. Both fittingly illustrated the spirit of the British forces facing imminent danger. Mary Switzer, the only woman in the cast was outstand¬ ing as Mrs. Clayton. Supporting parts were played by Mervyn Eshelby, Frank Woodman, Ray Fairbairn and Bert Cole. Barbara Ford directed the play. “Symphony in Illusion,” with a double cast composed entirely of girls was the third presentation of the evening. It was divided into three move¬ ments, the second taking place in a chapel. The story is about a group of refugee women who seek safety in a ruined church of war-torn France. The action gives the players wide scope for their emotions and each girl acted her part convincingly. Vivian Wilcox directed “Symphony in Illusion” and the cast was as follows: Dorothy Campbell, Margaret Scott, Virginia Cruikshanks, Edith Chiswell, Rose England, Eleanor McKenzie and Barbara Ford. On Wednesday evening, “The Symphony in Illusion,” was repeated with the second cast taking part. The cast consisted of: Tannie Wolovnik, Isobel Gregg, Ruth McTavish, Barbara Ford, Rose England, Dorothy Camp¬ bell and Virginia Cruikshanks. This play entered in the Dramatic Festival, tied for fourth place and received very high praise by the adjudicators. “The imaginary Invalid,” a comedy by Moliere, was also presented on the Wednesday performance. Taking the chief role. Neil German vividly portrayed a man possessed of an imaginary illness, while Lillian Dattner, as the young maid, gave an excellent performance. Other leading roles were played by: Sybil Norton, Percy Tucker and Mildred Arthur. Hugh McLean and Maurice Samwell made their parts, as father and son, very humorous. Jack McCaskill, Beth May, Bill Speerstra, Jack Tyo and Bob Greer in their respective parts contributed much to the rende ring of this outstanding number on the Concert programme. The play was directed by Shirley May. The make-up and costumes were in charge of June Mills. 86 The Anal e c t a THE C-C-l- COMMUNITY THEATRE SYMPHONY in iLLUS ON THE IMAGINARY DRUMS or OUDE 934-35 mWsim The Analecta 87 THE ANNUAL CONCERT— Continued The Supervisor of Dramatics was Mr. Thorlakson.

THE DRAMATIC CLUB This year one of the school’s most flourishing clubs, the Dramatic Club, continued its activities -under the name, “The C.C.I. Community Theatre.” The club, composed of one hundred and twenty-five students from Grades XI and XII, is one of the largest and most active ' clubs jin the school. 1 . ■- • K- v: “Symphony in Illusion,” one of the plays presented at the Artn ' iial Concert, tied for fourth place in the local Dramatic Festival. The ■ double cast of this play was composed entirely of girls. The Dramatic Club sponsored most of the Lits. and presented seven plays throughout the year. Many members took part in the plays; others worked busily on thh different committees, organized last year to systematize the Club’s various fields of endeavour. Students themselves’ directed, ' the plays under the able coaching of Mr. Thorlakson. - The climax of the Dramatic Club’s activities has 1 always been the presentation of the Annual Concert. This year, as in previous years, ' , the Club has succeeded in this large undertaking. Many much needed improvements to the stage and lighting equipment have been added to this Club’s accomplishments. The following comprise the executive:— Honorary President ....... Mr. Thorlakson President .,... Neil German - , Vice-President ..... Clarence Grant Secretary .. Sybil Norton THE RUGBY BANQUET The originator of the Lits., the Annual Rugby Banquet, was held in the C.C.I, Assembly Hall on December 12th, at 6.30 o’clock. Although C.C.I. lost , the Rugby Championship by only one game, tradition required that the Banquet should take place. After an enjoyable dinner, to which everybody did full justice, tables were cleared away, chairs were arranged, and a programme consisting,, of speeches, presentations and musical numbers followed. Assisting artists were: Miss Georgian Leibrock, Miss Mary Switzer, Bill Edwards, N il and Glen German. Miss Elliott was presented with a. beautiful bouquet of “mums” and Walt Smith, on behalf of the Rugby Boys, presented the girls with chocolates. The gathering having been informally adjourned, dancing was enjoyed for the remainder of the evening. 88 ' The Analecta THE RUGBY BANQUET— Continued The Grade XII girls thank Miss Elliott for her guiding suggestions; and supervision in arranging and bringing about a very successful Rugby Banquet.

A membership fee of 10c was charged and a number of very enjoyable and exceedingly well attended socials were held throughout the year. Musical programmes were presented in which solo entertainers were highly popular, refreshments being served after the selections. Credit is due, mainly,, to the girls of the refreshment committee who provided them. The school orchestra, under the able direction of Mr. Beresford, contributed greatly to- the success of the Lit. sponsored jointly by the Home and School Association and the Music Club. The Club has donated funds to help buy dishes for the Home and School Association, and the orchestra, an important feature of the Music Club, has assisted in many functions. Honorary President...

THE SPOKES CLUB The Spokes Club, owing to the lack of active interest in its activities, did not meet with the success it merited. An Inter-Scholastic Debate League was formed this year, but its programme was not carried out in full. The Inter- Room Debating League, however, under the Spokes ' Club’s patronage, put on its debates as scheduled. The trophy cup, originally presented by the Kappa Kappa Tau, is still being actively contested. The Spokek Club is indebted to the faculty of C.C.I. for acting as judges in a capable and impartial manner. We hope that next year, the Spokes Club will meet with all the success it so richly deserves. : • ' • • • . y ;- ,• ‘ Executive:—- President ... Lillian Dattner Vice-President ...,., r .

Throughout the city schools, representatives had previously been chosen to attend the meetings of the Local Women’s Peace Movement. The origin of the Discussion Club is due to a very great extent to the interest aroused by these meetings. Although the Club has had little time in which to get thoroughly instituted, much discussion has taken place on disarmament, and on other topics of current interest. Each Monday at 4.15, the Spare Room has been the scene of lively and helpful talks. The Discussion Club is certain to expand and we hope it will soon grow to such proportions that it can be conveniently divided into smaller groups. President . Gladys McDonald Secretary . Mildred Hutchinson THE BADMINTON CLUB OS ' ;• • . This year, the club got away to an early start with a record member¬ ship of Grade XI and Grade XII girls. With the financial aid of the Council and under the supervision of Miss Elliott, officers were elected and four new racquets were bought. A new idea, that of having an Interscholastic Tourna¬ ment was carried out at the Calgary Club during the Christmas Holidays. C.C.I. was represented by a girls ' team and a boys’ team. After the New Year, two socials were held in the Assembly Hall, where badminton, dancing, games and refreshments were very much enjoyed. This club is one of the fixed highlights of C.C.I.’s school life and we hope it will always be successful in the future. The Executive:—• President ... Madeleine Maguire Secretary-Treasurer .. Louise Thirlwell THE WEEKLY WEEPER This paper, the most enduring and successful of all city school papers, celebrated its fourth anniversary in the week of March 6th. During the year its editors, Jack Lawrence, Don Ross and Bill Hanson, have had a long struggle to make the paper’s publication possible. Advertising was banned from its pages and the circulation, (average 200) only enabled the Weeper to clear its debts, but the editors are to be congratulated on their work. Upon leaving the school Bill Hanson was replaced by Jim Sloan. Although a pri¬ vate concern, the paper keeps everyone in contact with the social life, the sport and “the scandal” of C.C.I. Best of luck to the Editors and their paper. THE SIGMA TAU This sorority is really four years old, but not until this year has it had a special name or it’s members had blazers and pins. The members are from Central and Western and have put cn several very enjoyable parties since the beginning of the school year. 90 The Analecta TrfE SIGMA TAU— Continued The members are:—- President ....

After the initiation of new members, the club be¬ came affiliated with The Association of High School Clubs, whose motto is: To create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community, high standards of Christian Character,” Talks given by Mr. Thorlakson and Mr. Hill were enjoyed by the members, and discussions on various topics of interest to the school and the club made up the remainder of the program for the year. At the Lits. and the Annual Concert, the club acted as a vigilance committee as well as in the capacity of sponsors. The proceeds of this Lit. Vere used to buy prizes for successful competitors in the Track Meet. The Executive consisted of:— Mentor.....;.. ... Mr. Powell President .... Archie Birse , • . • Vice-President . ..

THE PHI RHO SIGMA FRATERNITY Late in January of 1935 the Phi Rho Sigma was organized by a group of enterprising boys of Central High. At the second meeting it was decided that a dance would be put on near Easter.; 1: Uhdet the titlb of ‘Easter Parade , the dance met with huge success. A party, staged betVeen the inauguration df the club and the time 6f their first dahte, kept the boys busy.

THE ALPHA GAMMA SORORITY The Alpha Gamma, formed by a group of eight girls in 1930, has stead¬ ily increased its membership each year until it now boasts of twenty-four mem¬ bers. The 1934 season was actively started by the initiation of four new members. Activities continued through the year, during which a successful The Analecta 91 THE ALPHA GAMMA SORORITY Continued dance, a rummage sale, and several other events were held in order to raise funds to carry on the club’s work. Besides assisting needy families with Christmas hampers, the club from time to time has donated money to the school for such worthy articles as books, a basketball, etc. Socially the club has also been very active. Meetings have been called every two weeks at the members ' homes and such amusements as bowling, bridge and entertainments have been enjoyed. On such festive occasions as Hallowe’en, Xmas, etc., friends of the sorority have been included in the gatherings and greatly added to the success of the parties. The club was unfortunate in losing the services of the president, Isobel Millican. who left for Toronto to go in training in the Sick Childrens’ Hospital. The active members are: Ellen Pengelly, Sally Selwood, Sheila Ritchie, Jessie Murray, Grayce Paulson, Edna Vickers, Louise Fraser, Agnes Clarke, Betty Borrowman, Francis Atkinson, Marg. Johnson, Vera Swanson, Ann Cooper, June Mills, Marion King. To the inactive members we extend greetings and best wishes: Gwen Griffiths (Vernon), Jean Rea (Winnipeg), Isobel Millican (Toronto), Bernice Paulson (Vancouver), Ruth Peacock (Edmonton), Billie Ferguson (Edmon¬ ton), Phyllis Ryan (Oakland), Geraldine Gibson. KAPPA ZI SORORITY In the early spring of 1934 a group of girls organized a school sorority, namely the Kappa Zi. With the opening of school the follow ing term they increased their membership to twelve by taking in five new members. This year the club provided C.C.I. with two novel and highly successful dances - the Frost Bite and Paddy ' s Prom. Celebrating their first anniversary, a party was held at the Renfrew Club. During the past year, the Kappa Zi has tried in its own small way to do what is expected of it as a sorority of C.C.I. To end the season the Kappa Zi has presented a cup to foster girls’ sport activities in the school. The members are: Mary Robinson, Helen Dixon. Betty Slater. Ann Corley, Elspeth Rae, Doris McNeil, Nancy Smith (Edmonton), Muriel Pettigrew, Dora Masson, Mary Brass, Marian Smith, Beryl Winters. THE LITS This year, many of those ever- popular functions of social school life namely the Lits, have continued to be presented. Since the inauguration of the Lits, there has been on the average, one in every six weeks. With the facilities of the Council supporting them, such clubs as the Dramatic Club and the Hi-Y have been able to sponsor the Lits and give varied programs. At the majority of Lits, the Dramatic Club put on plays, among which were, The King’s Girls,” The Drums of Oude and The Tangled Web.’’ The Home and School Association in conjunction with the Musical Club contributed their share of delightful evenings, and provided refreshments for the second time in the history of C.C.I. The Hi-Y also presented a very enjoyable play and dance at their Lit. All these clubs have helped tremendously and we hope the Lits will always succeed as they have done in the past. Many thanks are due to Mr. Drury and Mr. Eagland, the janitors, who so kindly gave their services at all Lits. They did much to enable the success of these functions. 92 The Analecta THE KAPPA ZETA BO In March, 1933, The Kappa Zeta Bo Sorority was formed with a mem¬ bership of seven girls, which increased to thirteen this year. The club has experienced such a successful year that each member is proud to display her blazer and pin. In the past year the Organization has benefited C.C.I. by presenting the school with two megaphones, which were, no doubt, needed. It also donated sums of money for such purposes as replacing dishes in the school, and sending flowers to ill students. In the early fall, the girls, bubbling over with enthusiasm, aided the Home and School Association with a tea in order to raise funds for a very pressing need. Again in February, the members gave a very successful Valentine Tea. The club has given several varied and interesting parties during the year, one of which took the form of a breakfast. The club activities will recommence early next fall and a promise is made to accomplish even more than was accomplished this term. President... Mary Annand Tier of the Bow .:.Shirley May Treasurer .

THE GRADUATION PARTY At the end of the 1934 school term, the first Graduation Party ever presented by C.C.I. took place in St. Stephen’s Memorial Hall. All graduating students and their respective partners together with the staff and Dr. Scott were present. The party was sponsored and financed by the Student’s Coun¬ cil, while the Home and School Association donated refreshments. After an enjoyable dancing period, supper was served. Gordon Emery introduced Dr. Hutchinson and Dr. Scott, who after rendering short but appropriate speeches, were loudly cheered by an enthusiastic gathering. The prizes were then presented to the winners of the various contests for short stories and poems for the Analecta. The lucky contestants were: Irene Rea, Patricia Keir, Francis Wcolverton, Harry Griffiths, Jean Harris, Christine Van Der Mark, Terry Levis, Charles Ramsay, Jack Oliver. The remainder of the evening was again snent in dancing, and at approximately one o’clock, the party broke up. Jerry Fuller’s Orchestra Was in attendance and gave the party a finished touch by supplying melodious: music. We hope that the Graduation Party will become a permanent feature to which all graduates may eagerly look forward to at the end of their studies; at C.C.I. Hereafter it should become a tradition in the Halls of Central to have a party every year. Best of luck to all graduating classes. The prizes for the Oratorical contest were also presented to the most fluent speakers of C.C.I., Jack Lilligren and Neil German being the winners of first and second prizes respectively. The Analecta 93 THE READERS’ CLUB The Readers’ clubs, organized this year, under the direction of Mr. Beresford and Mr. Thorlakson, contained groups of students from XI “A”, XI “B,” XI “C” and XI “D.” A fee of 10c a month was charged and with this money, magazines were bought. The purpose of the Readers’ Clubs is to promote all possible interest in current topics through speeches and discus¬ sions, held by the students themselves. Each Friday afternoon, the composi¬ tion classes were set aside for these oral informative reviews of the current magazines. The Readers’ Clubs have successfully functioned for three years and it is more than likely that they will become an important feature in every Com¬ position class in C.C.I. KAPPA KAPPA TAU The Kappa Kappa Tau Fraternity was organized in Central Collegiate Institute in 1925. The Fraternity at that time was made up of five members of the Senior Rugby Team. The club gradually gained momentum and through its social activities and the deep interest it has taken in the welfare of Central High, has attained an enviable position in the minds of C.C.I. students. The Kappa Kappa Tau is now the oldest school fraternity in the city, and is also the only active chartered fraternity. During the past it has pro¬ vided social enjoyment for Central students and supported all worth while activities. , The aims of this club are to promote social activities; to support school ventures, and to stimulate the proper spirit among the students by placing be¬ fore them several outstanding social functions during the school year. The club held four of its popular dances this year and also aided the school “Lits ”. All worth while functions were well supported by its members. The Tau upheld school activities by donating a large stage curtain and several smaller ones for the Assembly Hall. The Junior Rugby Team also benefitted by new equipment through the generosity of this club The Kappa Kappa Tau now boasts a membership of about forty-three; eighteen of these being active members at present. Early this year, four new members had their applications for membership to the club accepted, namely; Lome Metcalfe, Ray Fairbairn, Don Johnston and Walt Smith. To become a member of the Tau is the ambition of all Central students and these four suc¬ cessful candidates were greatly honored by being taken into the club.

But for its timely assistance in many instances, a large number of activities in C.C.I. could not have been presented. Hearty co-operation among the members in general and the executive in particular, assured the Council of a successful year. The financial out¬ come of the Council’s work has proved the business ability of the student body. In fact, it now has a considerably large balance with which the activi¬ ties of next year’s Concil may be aided. Among the Council ' s accomplishments, outstanding is the presentation of the familiar Lits, in conjunction with the Dramatic Club. The Boys’ Basketball Team also has reason to appreciate the governing body, for the Council made it possible for the team to have the Memorial Hall for its games. Due to the assistance given also to the Dramatic Club, the presentation of “Symphony in Illusion” in the l ocal Dramatic Festival was made possible. As well as aiding C.C.I. financially, the Council showed its considera¬ tion by sending flowers to students who were ill. Through its help, presen¬ tations were made to the coaches of the different rugby teams. It also super¬ vised the organization of the Analecta by appointing an Analecta Committee. In this way, interest in the annual publication was quickly aroused. During the past year, the Council has fulfilled it’s duties exceedingly well. To the executive, we extend our congratulations and also to the students for their sincere efforts while co-operating with the clubs and the other sources of activity in the school. We hope that next year’s Council will meet with the success of it’s predecessors and will give even more valuable services to the school. The Executive:—• President .

However, we hope that next year will find the latter club renewed and a big centre of interest in C.C.I. Jean Whyte: “There is a fly on your ice-cream.” Judy Gill: Serves him right. Let him freeze. 96 The Analecta LOVE Pure love, in the free state, is rarely ever found in nature. It is a very active element -— indeed one of our most active — and for that reason is usually found in the combined state. It is one of the most widely distributed elements being found in all countries — though generally in close proximity to gold and silver deposits. Although known from the earliest times, chem¬ istry has never succeeded in its efforts to completely understand this strange element. The valency of love is generally given as one, though in some cases there is strong evidence that it may be bivalent, or even trivalent. Like radium, love is radio-active and when handling it extreme care should be exercised to avoid exposing the body, particularly the eyes, to its harmful rays. Students should note that the pure substance is rarely found in the laboratory. Another substance, calf-love, so called on account of its some¬ what similar resemblance to real love, is generally found quite satisfactory for any experiments which are conducted in the laboratory in connection with the study of love. Love really forms an acid H-J (hydrojealous acid) which may be easily distinguished by the dense green fumes produced when the acid is slightly heated. Love, like strychnine, is a heart stimulant and generally has fatal results when taken internally. Calf-love fortunately causes only severe pain for a short period. Temporary relief, however, may be obtained by giving the patient demulcent drinks or, in severe cases, stimulants of a vinous nature as in the case of bites and stings.

Some sixty hopeful pigskin chasers donned their pads and struggled through the three long weeks of training. By October 1st, the three teams, Seniors, Intermediates and Juniors were all prepared to plough up the turf. SENIOR RUGBY The prospects of a good Senior Club looked very slim at the beginning of training. Usually there are ten to fifteen players of the previous year’s squad around which to build a new team, but this year there were only four. Most of the linesmen and the halfbacks were beginners and had it not been for the excellent work of Archie McTeer, the senior coach for the past four years, we are certain that the club would not have done the good work it did. He turned them into a well-balanced club and only six inches of God’s good green turf separated them from the Senior Championship. Central 6 — Western 5 Central opened the 1934 rugby season, running true to form, and de¬ feated Western Canada in an exhibition game by the close score of six to four. Western went into the lead in the opening quarter when Gofsky brought down Smith for a rouge. They were not able to hold the lead for long, as the Central squad tied the count when Metcalfe made a beautiful kick to the deadline. Although the second quarter went scoreless both teams passed up good chances to break the deadlock. Western opened the third with a field goal and a rouge, and kept this lead of five to one until the final quarter. Then Central came back hard and Western’s line wavered long enoug h for Don Johnston to go over for a try that put Central into the lead of six to five, which she was quite capable of carrying to the end of the game. Those who contributed greatly to the team’s victory were: Metcalfe, with some fine kick¬ ing. and Smith, who also turned in a nice performance. The line, although unsteady at the beginning, showed signs of future power at the most critical times. Technical 11 — Central 0 Led by Charlie Dyson, who raced over the Central line for two touch¬ downs, Technical High defeated the purple and gold squad in the opening league game by eleven to nil. Central lost numerous opportunities through fumbling. We are sure this was due to the nervousness of the many new backfields on the Central team. The very first play was a fumble on behalf of Central and from there until the beginning of the second quarter Central just couldn’t get going. Some six minutes of play had gone by when a costly fumble on Central’s five yard line gave Tech possession of the ball. On their second down Dyson went over for a touch. The convert was made and at half time Tech had the lead by six to nil. In the third quarter Dyson found a weak spot in Central’s team and circled the left end for a touch, after sprinting 41 yards for the second marker of the tussle. This raised the score to eleven to nil which Central was unable to change and thus Central went down to its first defeat in two years. Walt Smith handled the play in fine style and Met¬ calfe also showed to advantage. Central 18 — Western 9 With a varied and surprising attack Central defeated Western Canada eighteen to nine and kept in the running for the Senior Championship. Buffet¬ ed ar ound by Tech in their first game, the improved form displayed by Central was amazing. Brilliant end runs, hard driving plunges and sensational return 100 The Analecta SENIOR RUGBY—Continued runs, were the features of the game. Central started the game with a bang and by half time had piled up a commanding lead of nine to one. In the opening session Metcalfe kicked twice to the deadline for two points. The second quarter was featured by Central obtaining seven more points, a rouge by Metcalfe, a touchdown by Baxter and a convert. Western also made a rouge. In the third Central weakened and Western tied the score. With the wind at their backs, Central reversed the tide and ran up nine more points in the final session; a rouge by Patten, a long field goal by Metcalfe and a touch by McRae on a forward pass. The Central line showed great power in this game, and deserved most of the credit for the victory. Central 1 — Crescent 11 This setback almost put the purple and gold squad out of the running. It was a long kick by Metcalfe resulting in a touch in goal, which saved the Centrals from a shut-out. This was the first tally of the game, but this lead was soon wiped out when Turner, Crescent’s star running half, broke away for an 85 yard gain to put Crescent out in front with the lead of five to one. The second quarter saw both teams working hard but neither was able to advance into their opponents’ area. Thus there was no score until late in the third quarter when Crescents broke through the Central line to increase their leading margin to ten to one. A rouge in the fourth added the last point and Crescent left the field with an eleven to one victory over last year’s senior champs. Bray, Johnston, Baxter and Pulos showed up well in the line, while Walt Smith and Metcalfe w r ere the pick of the rear guards. Central 5 — Technical 1 Here, Central provided the first major upset of the Senior Interschol¬ astic League by battling their way to a five to one victory over the league¬ leading Tech aggregation. Play was hard going because of the snow-covered field. Metcalfe, Walt Smith, Johnston and Gaunce led a steady plunging attack that kept the league-leaders within the shadow of their goal posts and had it not been for the booting of Holden of Tech, the score would have mounted to great figures. Score opened in the first quarter when, from the 24 yard line, Metcalfe lifted a lofty punt to the deadline to give Central a one to nil lead. The score was increased to three to nil by another kick to the deadline and a rouge by Patten in the opening session. The second quarter was featured by a Central plunging attack but without results and the purple and gold squad carried a three point lead into the third quarter. A long kick by Holden in this session saved Tech from a shutout. Shortly after the final quarter had started Prosser ran a kick back 25 yards, which was followed by a kick, placing the ball on Tech’s 5 yard line. Baxter broke through to smear Tech’s first play for a safety touch making the score five to one for Central. This score was good enough to defeat Tech for the first time this year. Central’s ends were right on the job and made it tough for the Tech squad. Central 22 — Western 3 Dominating play in all four quarters. Central’s twelve administered a 22-3 defeat to Western Canada. Central with a series of end runs and forward passes ran up the highest score of the 1934 season. They took advantage of all opportunities offered to them in order to turn in their success. MacQueen’s field goal in the first quarter saved Western from a severe trouncing. Central pressed hard in the first quarter and had a commanding lead of eight to nothing to carry them into the second session. It was two rouges and a touchdown by Patten and a convert by Metcalfe that accounted for these points. A rouge by Prosser in the second made the The Analecta 101 SENIOR RUGBY—Continued score of nine to nil at half time. Both teams played air-tight rugby in the third but the fourth featured a burst of scoring. MacQueen’s field goal for Western’s only three points started the ball rolling. It was followed by a touchdown by Metcalfe, a convert, two rouges and a beautiful touchdown by Howard on a forward pass. This marked the end of the 22-3 victory. The line made holes as big as a house and blocked like a brick wall to enable the successful passing attack. Central 2 — Crescent 1 Before we relate the details of this game the Senior Club wishes to state that they regret very much the serious accident that occurred to Cully Rabkin during the game. He suffered a broken leg in the third quarter after putting on a great performance. Central eked out a 2 - 1 victory over Crescents when they almost had the title in their grasps. It was a battle from beginnnig to end and it left these teams out in front with four victories and two defeats each. Central gave full value for their victory and had the edge in play throughout most of the game. Central again opened the scoring when Metcalfe kicked to touch in goal in the first quarter for a one to nil score in our favor. It was nearing the end of the second quarter when Howard received a Crescent punt at centre field and much to the surprise of everyone he returned a long spiralling kick and Metcalfe rouged Gillman on the play. It was one of the best plays that have ever been featured in Senior Rugby. Thus, Crescent, two points down, came back very strong in the third, and Turner kicked to the deadline to tighten up the score. It was a tough battle for Central in the last session when Crescent was on their one yard line for three downs, but they managed to stave them off. The whistle finally blew and thus ended one of the toughest battles that Central has ever entered. There were no special outstanding players on the Central squad, for everyone worked equally hard for this victory. Central 1 — Crescent 5 The toughest game to lose that probably any C.C.I. senior team has ever lost. It was even tougher than the game that Central lost to Commercial by 13-5 at the end of the 1932 season. Both games resulted in the loss of the Senior Championship. Led by Prosser in the fourth quarter. Central worked their way to the Crescents 1 yard line when the Hilltops were success¬ ful in turning back three powerful Central plunges. Gaunce drove hard on the last play but the ball came to rest on the six inch line. That was one time six inches of sod looked good to Crescents. Crescent lead a powerful attack for the first three quarters and piled up a five to nil lead. Two rouges in the first, one in the second and two in the third accounted for their scores. It was then that Central came on with a last period offensive but failed on the six inch line. The lone tally of the game for the Central squad was that of a rouge by Timms. It was Prosser’s long return runs and Metcalfe’s deadly passes and kicks that almost turned the trick. The whistle finally blew and another almost successful Rugby Season ended.

For the past four years, he has given a great deal of his valuable time to field two championship teams, and two runners-up. One of the most outstanding athletes in Western Canada and an old veteran of the rugby field himself, he is popular among all the students of C.C.I. and everyone is hoping that he will be with us for many years to come INTERMEDIATE RUGBY As usual, the first game was our jinx game, losing to Western 12-4. However to somewhat avenge ourselves, we defeated Tech 34 - 0. Crescents gave us a close game but once again the purple and gold turned in a victory of 16 - 0. In our last encounter we took St. Mary’s to the tune of 9 - 1. The Saints scored the only point against us in three straight games. As there was no play-off Western won the Cup, although we scored twice as many counters as they did. I am sure the school as well as the team appreciates the work of the coach, Johnny Souter. He spent hours of his valuable time, turning The Analecta 105 INTERMEDIATE RUGBY—Continued players into a well-balanced team. Johnny was ably assisted by Ed. Baker, who coached the linesmen.

When some twenty eager players first appeared for practice, just before the Christmas holidays, there seemed to be little hope of winning the cup, but through the excellent coaching of Les Thirl- well, a popular sports star, and a member of the Jimmy Juniors, the club was built into a perfect working machine. This club proved itself superior team by winning all their four games, and by scoring more goals than any other club, a total of 21, an average of a little more than five goals a game. They had only six goals scored against them, the lowest amount in the league. It will be some time before another club makes such a remarkable record. The most outstanding forward line in the league, was that of W. Lenox, A. Prosser and J. Dutton. They collected 24 points, 15 goals and 9 assists. Central 3 — Western 2 Slow to start, C.C.I. found themselves two goals down at the end of the first period. With the old Central fight in them, the Purple and Gold squad entered the second period determined to win. During this session, Dutton netted the puck after Lenox had carried it into Western territory. Pippard tied the score in the third on a pass from King. Again Dutton scored on a pass from Lenox, to give Central a 3 - 2 victory over their old rivals. Central 9 — East Calgary 1 Playing wide open hockey, and skating fast, C.C.I. ran up a total of 9 goals to East Calgary’s 1. It was Central ' s game from the very start. In the first period Prosser netted two goals on assists from Lenox. Essery scored a beauty from the left wing, assisted by King. King scored just before the closing seconds of the first period. Four more goals were scored in the second, Lenox netting two on assists from Stark, Prosser scoring unassisted, and Dutton on a pass from Essery. The third period saw East Calgary rapping home their only goal; while Lenox scored on Prosser’s pass. Un¬ questionably the line of Prosser, Lenox and Dutton were the most outstanding The Analecta 109 SENIOR HOCKEY—Continued while Stark and Metcalfe gave a real exhibition of defence work. Helmer was outstanding in the net. Central 4 — St. Mary’s 0 Both teams were handicapped by the shortage of men, but nevertheless Central played superior hockey, winning by a score of 4 - 0. Both teams were held scoreless for the first period, with Central pressing throughout. Central, however, finished the game with a burst of scoring. By the time the final whistle blew, Metcalfe had netted two well-earned goals on solo rushes; Dutton had weaved himself into scoring position to beat the St. Mary’s goal tender on a hard shot; and Lenox pushed home Prosser’s pass for the victory, with Helmer deserving a shutout for his brilliant work. Central 5 — Crescent 3 Central playing fast and determined hockey, defeated Crescent 5-3 at the Victoria Arena. Central wreaked vengeance on Crescent for the defeat they received in Rugby. Crescent skated off th ice at the end of the first period with a lead of 2 - 1. Dutton, on a pass from Lenox, scored the Central goal. With a long shot, Prosser squared the count, Dutton assisting. Prosser opened the third period with a snappy unassisted goal, only to have Crescent come back to tie the score. Then Metcalfe put Central into the lead again, with Prosser adding another on a pass from Dutton, thus placing the game well in hand. Prosser was the leading goal-getter, with a total of three, while Dutton picked up three points with 2 assists and a goal. HOCKEY TEAM BIOGRAPHIES Bobby Helmer—Goal. Weight 130. Age 16. A great deal of credit goes to Bobby for his part in winning the cham¬ pionship. Only six goals passed him, and they were hard, close-in shots. Bobby is certainly a big league prospect. Lome Metcalfe—Defence. Weight 165. Age 17. A real defence man. When it came to bouncing them, Lorne was there to do it. Also as good an offensive as a defensive player. The team could always depend on Lome’s work. Tim Stark—Defence. Weight 160. Age 16. Team mate to Lorne. All that was said about Lorne also applies to Tim. Tim had a big year and should help Central win the cup next year. John Nibogie—Defence. Weight 170. Age 19. Played very effective hockey. Made good use of his weight for defensive work. Broke fast on rushes. Willoughby Lenox— Centre. Weight 135. Age 17. Promoted from last year’s Juniors. Most outstanding Centre in the league. Exceptionally good play-maker, dangerous when in front of the net because of his accurate shooting. Arnold Prosser—Wing. Captain. Weight 140. Age 17. A thorough and efficient player on any hockey team. Noted especially for his ability to excel at both lone rushes and teamwork plays. Can play almost any position. Joe Dutton—Wing. Weight 120. Age 15. Just another “Red” Dutton. By his playing this year, we know that he has the determination, the fight, the color and everything else that his dad possesses. Joe’s first year. 110 The Analecta SENIOR HOCKEY—Continued Gordon King—Centre. Weight 150. Age 16. Also first year. A good prospect for next year. Led his line like a veteran. Alex Essery—Wing. Weight 145. Age 19. Alex, handicapped by an injured back, was with us in the first three games. Always managed to get one goal. Fast and dangerous. Third year with the club. Alva Pippard—Wing. Weight 135. Age 17. A hard worker. Gave all he had in helping win the championship. Alva will be a big aid to us next year. Gordon Deeton—Wing. Weight 140. Age 16. A new-comer from Edmonton. Played an important part in the final game against Crescent Heights. JUNIOR HOCKEY Central High was again capable of producing a Junior Hockey Club. Some twenty players turned out for practices and finally a neat, fast skating club, under the coaching of Arnold Prosser, a senior player, was ready to uphold the Purple and Gold of C.C.I. The Juniors started off with a bana. The first game ended with a 1 - 0 victory over East Calgary, due to a brilliant goal by Dick Webb. In the second game Crescent Heights edged them out by a close score of 2 - 1. Unfavorable weather conditions prevented the Juniors from finishing their school schedule, and Crescent, the only undefeated team gained the Cham¬ pionship. JUNIOR TEAM — Goal, Bobby McRoberts; Defence, B. Johnston, T. McCracken, Murray Law, Einar Nerland; Forwards, D. Webb, B. Bateman, D. Machum, G. Irving, G. Wagner, Ken Doughty. SENIOR BASKETBALL At the beginning of the Basketball season, the girls turned out in great form. More players volunteered their services than had any other team for C.C.I. in the past few years. Thus with able coacjiing, the squad made fairly good progress throughout the entire sport year. They only met defeat by small margins, because of lack of teamwork. Central vs. Western 23-29 The Seniors lost their first game to Western by a small margin. The game was well-played with our forwards doing fine scoring. Central vs. Crescents 33-33 The seniors gained more confidence and their united efforts brought the score to a tie. Central vs. Western 27-34 The girls met their second defeat at the hands of the Western squad. The girls were well-matched, but superior shooting gained the Western team another victory. The Analecta 111 SENIOR BASKETBALL—Continued Central vs. Crescents 40-39 Improved and faster playing rewarded Central’s efforts, to give them their first real victory. Accurate shooting made Maureen James our highest scorer. Central vs. Western 24-20 Both teams played an excellent game but superior teamwork, combined with good scoring resulted in a decisive victory for C.C.I. Central vs. Crescents 19-32 After two consecutive victories, the seniors were once again defeated on their opponents’ floor. Too bad, girls. Central vs. Western 24-34 A game hard fought but lost and with no discredit to the Seniors. Central vs. Crescents 25-32 The Seniors played hard to make this last game a victory for them¬ selves, but without success. Congratulations, Crescent Heights.

JUNIOR BASKETBALL The Junior girls, from the very beginning of the year, showed great promise of becoming a championship team. All the material was well-bal¬ anced, and the girls displayed excellent team work. A clean brand of Basketball was played throughout the entire term. Even by being defeated by the Western squad in the last game of the season, they were able to clinch the championship by being one point higher than their nearest competitors. Central vs. East Calgary 21-17 In the first game on the Junior schedule, C.C.I. gained a victory over 112 Th e Analecta Ruth Lachter, Helen Bride, Edith Nerland, Mary MacLean, Cora Hicks, Irene Greer (captain), Aileen Cranston, Phyllis Brown, Mr. Churchill (coach). The Analecta 113 JUNIOR BASKETBALL —Continued East Calgary. The team played a game with plenty of high scoring on the part of the forwards. Central vs. Commercials 28-13 The Juniors had no trouble defeating Commercial and won the game by a good margin. Central vs. Crescents 7-11 Central failed to come up to their usual standard and suffered their first defeat on the Crescent floor. Central vs. Western 18-12 This game played on their home floor made up for their loss against Crescents. There was some smooth team work and accurate shooting. Central vs. East Calgary 14-13 Although Central were again winners, their playing was not up to par — the guards however did some real defensive work. Central vs. Commercial 16-16 This game ended in a tie. The Juniors felt a bit lost on the big floor, but played a good game. Central vs. Crescents 15-8 The game decided the championship for the Juniors. They proved their worth by an overwhelming victory. Central vs. Western 8-16 The Juniors played disappointingly, failing to co-operate when chances were given them to score. However, this did not alter the standing of the team and they received the championship. BIOGRAPHIES OF JUNIOR BASKETBALL GIRLS Irene Greer— A steady guard who can always be depended upon for fine defensive work. Phyllis Brown— Irene’s reliable co-guard. An energetic player with good team work. Edith Nerland— A sturdy left forward — a snappy passer and a great asset to the Juniors Mary MacLean— Came from King Edward High to help the C.C.I. Juniors. Her accur¬ ate shooting helps the score to pile up. Cora Hicks— A downright good sport and trusty guard. Helen Bride— Another good forward and accurate shot. Ruth Lachter— She is small but just the same she doesn’t fail to score. Mr. Churchill— Devoted a great deal of his time and worked hard to mould the few girls who turned out, into two good basketball squads and was rewarded for his efforts by producing one championship team. 114 The Analecta TRACK MEET Despite the chilly weather, the Interscholastic Track Meet of 1934 was held on Friday, June 1st. Crescent Heights retained the cup, netting 52 points to edge out East Calgary by only 7 points. Central took fifth place with a total of 27 points, 12 of which were won by Ray Fairbairn in “B” Class. Ray is one of the most promising athletes in C.C.I., and his remarkable performance against powerful opponents is worthy of the highest praise. He collected the largest number of points in B” Class and was presented with the D. E. Black “B” Class Medal for 1934. All C.C.I. is justly proud of you, Ray, and wish you the best of luck during the 1935 season. The second highest total points in “B” Class were won by Milton “Mike” Harper, who gathered in 8 well-earned points by placing first in the high jump and second in the shot put. Ray came first in the shot put and second in the high jump —- dividing the honors evenly with Mike in these two events. Ray received his other four points by takin two thirds, one in the 75 yard dash and the other in the standing broad jump. Three points were gained in “C” Class. Frank Day picked off 2 points for third in the shot put; and Fred Wonnacott netted 1 for fourth in the 660. In “D” Class, Central again won points in the shot put -— their only points in this class. Here Jack Lawrence and Stan Prosser won third and fourth respectively, and earned three points. Central’s team of Neil German, B. Martin, A. Prosser and H, Daniels, came fourth in the two mile race, to win 1 point and make up the total of 27. This small support afforded the boys in both “A” and “D” Classes was very disappointing, but we hope that next year Central will be better represented in these two classes and win more honors for the school. BOWLING Through the co-operation of Bill Gibson, the School Bowling League got ajvay again this winter with fourteen teams entered — ten from Central and four from Western Canada. The following are the teams from C.C.I. — Dumbells, Rooters, Head Pins, Safety Pins, Nit Wits, Champs, Holy Rollers, King Pins, Weepers and Stogies. The Western Canada Golden Loafers finished at the top of the first half of the league and the Dumbells were right behind them in second place. The Stogies took the honors in the second half with the Rooters in second place. Prizes are given for the team that makes the playoffs, Jean Bray of the Rooters won the individual Ladies High Single with a score of 280, and Alyce MacKay of the Dumbells, copped the Ladies ' Individual High Two, with a score of 451. The Rooters hold the Team High Single and High Two with scores of 896 and 1892 respectively. The two top teams in each half play off for the Championship. BOYS’ SOFTBALL Shortly after Easter, C.C.I. students thronged on the school grounds, to limber up their rusty arms for another inter-room baseball season. The games were attended by crowds of enthusiastic fans, who witnessed a brand of Championship Baseball. The Analecta 115 BOYS’ SOFTBALL Continued Due to the nearness of the final examinations, the students were unable to finish the league. However, XII “A,” with the strongest team, was given the championship. XI “D” was the main threat to XII “A.” The XII “A” team was composed of:—Bev. North, catcher. Jack Singer, pitcher, Art Warnken, first base, Ed Baker, second base, Les Thirlwell, third base, Dune Stuart, shortstop, Jack Lawrence, left field, Gordon Emery, centre field, C. Fortune, right field, and also Frank Gaunce. BOYS’ BASKETBALL Central’s basketball team this year was not up to the standard of other years and consequently was defeated. The boys turned out faithfully to practices and upheld Central ' s tradi¬ tion of “Never say quit.” We had no coach and could not use the school assembley hall, but even under these handicaps we managed to play all of our games and so did our part in making this league successful. Due to the co-operation on the part of the council we had the Memorial Hall as our home floor and played our games there. Personnel of the Team:—Ken Patten, Fred McKinnon, Walt Smith, Neil German, Herb Snowdon, George Davidson, Murray Law, Frank Gaunce.

The Analecta 145 L’ENVOI The Analecta for 1934-35 is finished. We place it into your hands conscious of its many imperfections. Let that part which is of merit be, as Ruskin says, “your book;” and view the faults with leniency. The faults are many, I fear, and the merits all too few; but censure not this annual for what it is, but love it for what it aspires to be. This is your book, your treasure trove of memories. Love it for such and the Analecta is a true success. I wish to take this opportunity to thank all those who have worked to make the Analecta a success — the Analecta staff for their willing and un¬ tiring efforts; Mr. Woodman and Mr. Scott, for their advice concerning the business management of the Analecta; Miss Kaulbach and Mr. Forsythe, for their services as Supervising Editors, and lastly, our advertisers, for their financial support which has made the Analecta possible. Let us patronize these reliable firms to whom we owe so much. And now fellow-students, may 1 thank you for your co-operation and support. I should like to thank all those who submitted literary contributions and art; whether we have been able to print them or whether they have had to be left out through lack of space. You have done your part in making this Analecta a worthy companion of the Analectas of pfevious years, and for your aid, allow me to say once again, “I thank you.” To the Analecta Staffs, past, present and future, may I offer my heartiest congratulations and best wishes.
