■hbhhmbhh The Analecta 15 SCHOLARSHIPS STEVE COSBURN— Steve won the Grade XI I.O.D.E. War Memorial Bursary for Alberta. This scholarship, carrying with it a four year course at the University selected by the Bursary holder, is awarded yearly in each Province to the son or daughter of a deceased soldier, sailor or aviator winning the highest marks in Grade Eleven. Steve is now at the University of Alberta taking an M.A. degree, and we sincerely hope that he wins even greater awards in the future.

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.
