THE ANALECTA Vol. 21 June, 1936 No. 1 THE PROGRESS EDITION PUBLISHED BY THE STUDENTS OF CENTRAL COLLEGIATE INSTITUTE OUR MOTTO - “LUX SIT OUR COLORS - PURPLE AND GOLD PROGRESS Progress means more than a mere moving on, Far more than to merely advance—• It’s a moving on with a cheerful song And giving others a chance. It’s an advance in matters of most any kind; Improvement in knowledge and skill— An increase in conscience and strength of mind. An increase in the power of will. Progress is an advance to a higher goal. An advance to greater things—- Advancing in our body and soul, Becoming wiser and greater beings. It is also a passage from place to place, A journey of happiness— But to really progress is to set a pace, And aim for a higher success. —Maurice Samwell.

To very many of you the end of June marks the culmination of your High School career. As a graduating class you have reached a crossroad as you bid C.C.I. fellow-students and staff good-bye. Part of the road lies behind you, the rest ahead. As you look back over a somewhat difficult journey, your reminiscences will be tinged with regret as well as pleasure. What a host of memories the words C.C.I. will recall to your minds—lifelong friendships, intimate association with teachers and students over a four or five year period, busy halls and classrooms, laughter, hilarious rugby games, the hush of the examination room! As you look ahead, you experience a sense of accomplishment and of being ready for larger and wider experiences. The future belongs to you. Be ready to meet it with courage and optimism. Do not resemble ‘one of those little places that have run half-way up a hill and then sat down to rest as if to say: “I go no further upward, come what may!” ’ Remember that accomplishment is always the result of effort, and that effort may mean the sacrifice of personal time and pleasure. Never give up trying to reach the goal ahead of you. True, you may say: ‘‘What are we going to do?” In these times of stress and strife it seems almost impossible to choose an occupation that is not already over crowded. Because of cir¬ cumstances, some cannot be trained for the work they might otherwise have chosen. Despite this fact, do not lose sight of your ideals. The hardships which you may endure now and endeavor to overcome are character bui lders. Do not forget that you all have a place to fill and a duty to perform, and it is your responsibility to take advantage of every opportunity that presents itself. We can’t all be captains, we’ve got to be crew, There’s something for all of us here; There’s a big work to do, and we must all be true. To the task which we find close at hand. If you can’t be; a highway, then just be a trail; If you can ' t be a sun, be a star; It isn’t by size that you win or you fail— Be the best of whatever you are. Your Alma Mater sends you forth with the breath of her “God-speed” upon you, confident that you will acquit yourselves well in life’s duties and will always keep a warm place in your hearts for her.

Study Supervisor 12 THE ANALECTA VALEDICTORY Another year, another graduating class, another farewell! A lasting farewell this. Mingled feelings of sorrow and expectation. Anxious to face the future, yet loathe to leave those happy years—years crammed to over¬ flowing with experiences—some amusing, some enjoyable, some successful and some not. Looking back, we catch a kaleidoscopic impression of hours of work, dances, speeches, play practises, parties, lits, games. Never again will such a wealth of companionship and opportunity for study be laid at our feet. What have we extracted from them? What is their net total? To find it we must sweep away the rather immaterial successes or failures at examinations. The real failure or success lies not in the marks— but in the sincerity of our efforts. Those years have been of benefit to us if we have caught a glimpse of the vast expanse of knowledge, of which we can only hope to touch a small part. If we have a new-found veneration for learning and a thirst for more the efforts of our teachers have been successful. They have striven not to fill us with mere facts, but to give us a foretaste of what lies before us; to give us an appreciation of the true and lasting values. Their lessons did not consist of a presentation of facts only, but of problems which in real life loom very large. If we have learned the real lessons well, we will not fail when the hand of the teacher is removed. From our activities outside school hours, we have reaped not only pleasure but lasting benefit. The loss is immeasurable if you have never experienced the fearful excitement that precedes a play performance, a debate, or a final game. Faculties in us that lie untouched by the academic course, are roused by our activities in one or other of the societies. They are the spice of school-life, and without them it would be a very dull experience. To you who follow we bequeath the teachers a little greyer; the desks a little more disfigured; a few more echoes in the halls; and the task of keeping up the reputation of C.C.I. perhaps a little heavier. The students of the past have kindled a torch of honor with their achievements and successes. We, who are graduating have tried to keep it burning. It’s brilliance in the future rests with you. May it never be dimmed! KATHLEEN ALLEN. THE ANALECTA 15 PROGRESS Progress—that inexorable passing from Darkness into Light. We have dedicated this issue of the Analecta to progress with a two¬ fold symbolistic interpretation. Firstly, to progress as an ideal. To progress in its most comprehensive sense: that force by which the waves in the vast, turbulent sea of humanity hurl themselves further and further into the black¬ ness of the sands beyond; penetrating into the land of darkness; piercing the murky veils of fear, of doubt, andi of perplexity. When we leave this school to go out into the world it will be upon our shoulders that this sacred duty will rest. For the very soul of life is bound up in the individualistic striving towards the evolution of the whole, be it materially or spiritually. Secondly, we have dedicated this issue to progress because of the very tangible, indispensable part which our school—any school—plays in the realization of this aim. All achievement, and hence all progress, has un¬ questionably its embryo in the awakening of the mentality, the intensification of our analytical powers, and the development of our intrinsic ability. Dur¬ ing our years of study at C.C.I., consciously or subconsciously we have been undergoing this process. The degree to which we have taken advantage of our opportunities will necessarily determine to a certain extent our subsequent achievements and usefulness in a world seething with unrest and burdened with mighty problems. And in these days of universal turmoil and perplexity, there is a multi¬ plicity of problems which we will have to face. Economically there is the puzzling enigma of over production, with the corresponding problem of distri¬ bution. Paradoxically enough, the people are in need because we have too much wealth! Scientifically and mechanically we have reached an undreamed of height of evolution, and yet our lack of social evolution has hurled us into a pit of chaos. It is as if we had created a collosal mechanical monster without the necessary subtlies of knowledge to control it. A monster created out of steel and out of steam; with heavy sounds clanking through the air, black with the smoke of industrialism. A symbol of wealth in superfluity; a symbol of misery unimaginable. Political problems loom large in the world of today, too. Already in Europe the foundations of democracy have crumbled and autocratic dictator¬ ship has superceded it. No one will question the statement that democracy was founded on, and will continue to be preserved through education. With¬ out education, democracy is a dim, Utopian ideal; through the powers of education it becomes a living realization. The problem of the preservation of our democratic institutions is the problem of our generation, and one of- the first magnitude. The more one dwells on the conditions and problems of the modern world the greater is the realization of the need of progress, of education. For when we realize how education lies at the root of all advance, we may say in all truthfulness that Education is Progress. A mighty task awaits us, a mighty responsibility rests upon us. It is a duty that will bring glory both to ourselves and to our country. The challenge is ours: let us seize it and rise to the zenith of our possibilities! RAY MARTYNE, Editor-in-Chief. 16 THE ANALECTA EDITORIAL “The forces of universal intelligence are manifested by physical laws; they are unswerving, unadopted, and have no solicitude for the structure in which they worl(.“ Time marches on! Again we approach the end of another school year, and as your Editor-in-Chief has requested, I shall endeavor to set forth the important activities of our different clubs. I trust that the report of our Progress year will show that the forces of Universal Intelligence have dealt with us not unkindly, and that when the day comes for us to leave the School of Learning, we may realize that the progress of Tomorrow depends on the ability To-day to grasp the significance of that old saying: “Get the idea and all else follows.’’ We must remember, at the same time that the future holds no failure, and ‘I made a mistake’ refers but to yesterday. In reviewing our activities for the year, there are many to be com¬ mended, but on the other hand, there are many, which could be improved and remedied to a great extent. I believe that the action of the Students’ Council in taking over the Weekly Weeper is a move for the better, a distinct and progressive step in the history of C.C.I. For years the Weeper has been privately owned by students in the school, and has enjoyed an immense popularity; but never before has it had, as it has now, the distinction of being the official organ of the Students’ Council; and thus of the students themselves. The Dramatic Club, too, is to be praised. Under the able leadership of Miss Kaulbach, many fine plays have been produced to the mutual enjoyment of both actors and scholars. The high esteem in which the first of these plays was held was manifested when it was requested that it be presented for the second time at the inaugaration ceremony of the new Assembly Hall at Western. This was quite a tribute to the oldest Dramatic Club in the city. The formation of a girl’s Hi-Y this year was another notable feature in the advances of the term. I feel certain that in the future it will do much to further clear thinking, sound reasoning, and good sportsmanship among the girls at Central, The Badminton Club is another club to be congratulated on its fine work this year. Owing to the efforts of its president, the club has now succeeded in establishing a series of games with Crescents, which should prove very interesting, and I hope, turn out to be the nucleus of a city-wide High School League. About other sports I do not think much need be said. Athletics have always been well supported .at C.C.I., and although sometimes we have met with adverse conditions, and once in a while a better squad from another school, Central has always kept its head up, and gone on fighting, with that sincere and indominatable determination to win. On the other hand a few clubs have not progressed, but have been allowed to fall by the wayside; chief among these is the Spokes Club. This is a most regrettable thing, brought about mainly by the lack of interest and support on the part of the students. There are very few larger Institutions, Colleges, or Universities in either Canada or the United States, which do not boast of, and are justly proud of their public-speaking clubs. They realize their importance; we did not. Most of us are not able to see it now, but when we graduate from this school, an inability to speak in public is going to be a great handicap to us. Had we sponsored the Spokes Club, as has been done in years gone by, we might have derived the benefit,—that feeling of ease in presenting a public address which our predecessors have obtained. The Current Events Club, too, is apparently another club of the THE ANALECTA 17 past. It does seem a shame that these two organizations, both so well adapted to aid and train us for our future! life, have been dropped. There is not much that we can do now, that is, this year; but I sincerely hope that next year the Spokes and Current Events Clubs may be started again, and retained through the years as two of the leading institutions of C.C.I. And so I will conclude. I have tried to point out the important moves this year, both good and bad, and I hope that the findings of this report will be taken to heart in the spirit in which they are given. Should they prove to be of assistance in improving our school, I will feel that they have achieved their purpose. True Centralites do not want to see their school, the oldest High School in Calgary, go backwards in a single activity; and in the years to follow should judge their activities accordingly. C.C.I. has the oldest and greatest traditions in the city; long ago our rivals have learned that the Purple and Gold was the squad to beat. And now I say to you: do not let these traditions die; keep them living; foster the School Spirit, and in years to come our successors will still be proud to say: ' We are Centralites.” BILL SPEERSTRA, Assistant Editor. SLANG IN A HUDDLE When Grandpop thawed the pesky pump He said, Consarn” and Shucks and “Humph,” And “I’ll be switched if the thing won ' t go, It ' s all-fired cold in this dad-burned snow.” When dad was young he said, “Rubberneck, Ich-ka-bibble,” Skidoo,” You bet,” and ‘ By heck;’’ Beat it,” ‘‘Lump it, and ‘ ' You’re not so hot.” A pretty girl was a ‘‘Peach,”—a ‘‘Lemon,” if not. The war brought us Blighty,” ‘‘Carry on,’’ ‘‘Fag,’’ Cheerio,” Swing the lead,’’ Blinkin ' ,’’ and ‘Rag.” Boldly the “Flapper her banner unfurled. Informing all “She’d tell the cock-eyed world.” In ’29 the wisecrack was ‘‘We re sunk;’’ The world went “Haywire’ -it sure was “The Bunk.” Stocks got the Wind up,” starting to Scram, Leaving us all in a horrible Jam.” Now its Oh Yeah,’’ Phooey,” “Baloney,” and Nerts;” “Sez you,” Can’t take it?” On the ' spot.” Little squirts;” Is my face red?” as you ask Why this rot?” And the poignant answer I give is: So what!” —M. R. McTavish, XII D SCHOLARSHIPS C.C.I. in the past has built up an enviable scholastic record. Once again this high standard has been maintained.

And the lone figure dreams as the great spirit wakes, And the dark night recedes and the cold dawn breaks. 66 THE ANALECTA TWO SONNETTS: STUDIES IN LIFE I. “As though to breathe were life—” —Tennyson. A petal blown between the somnolent sun, The wierd murmurings of a lotus-sea At dawn: Pale masks upon the fabric spun, A hollow sound, a blackened, fruitless tree. This life, this synthesis of birth and death; This fabric flung into a yawning space Were more than that, morel than a puff of breath; Encased within this shell, this dusty face. A tree upreaching for immortal skies. Deep-rooted in the dustless, fruitful sod; A light that ’cross the murky heaven flies; A noble thought, a striving after God: All this were life and more: the dustless Light Still burns behind the Clay to blaze the Night. II. Like multitudes of suns, titanic dreams Are burning in my soul: life is too vast For thought, immensities snuff out the gleams That flicker from the flame; black waters cast Their wierd, wind-sighing waves across the light. To some is life a skulking towards the pit, The wail of baleful leaves into the night; ■ A seeking for a candle never lit. To others like the lilt of laughing leaves At dusk: the cold, grey peace that haunts the skies At dawn: a road that winds among the trees Beyond the sunset hills where hidden lies The cryptic flame; too deep is life for speech To delve it’s meaning forth to mortal reach. —Ray Martyne, XII “A” A LONE RANGER’S MEDITATION Did you ever lie beneath the sky On a cool and starry night. By a prairie stream, that like a dream Drifts silently out of sight? In the nights gone by, how often have I Been alone and sad and blue; I ' ve thought of the home where I used to roam With my pinto faithful and true. But now he is gone to that far beyond— He died in a stampede’s fray; But I ll ride him once more on that other shore, In that round-up far away. —Maurice Samwell, XII “C.” Editors: STUART McNAB FRANCES WOOLVERTON LITERARY THE ANALECTA 69 3fn jHemorp of tfje Hate tng eorgeU. “THE DEAD KING” We accepted his toil as our right—none spared, none excused him. When he bowed by his burden his rest was refused him. We troubled his age with our weakness— the blacker our shame to us! He heard that his people had need of him; straightway he came to us. As he received so he gave—nothing grudged, naught denying. Not even the last gasp of his breath when he strove for us, dying. For our sakes, without question, he put from him all that he cherished, Simply as any that serve him he served and he perished. All that kings covet was his, and he flung it aside for us. Simply as any that die in his service he died for us. •—From Rudyard Kipling’s Poem, 1910. Big Ben ticked on Nothing could stop Time, or stay the fleeting thoughts that pervaded the whole Empire that night on January 24, 1936. But then the chime. And—■ ‘‘This - is - London. The King’s life is moving peacefully towards its close.” “The sorrow in those few words made the whole world pause and wonder—their tragic echo struck a note of sympathetic response from the people of every nation. As the Lord Chancellor, Lord Sankey, said in his address on the occasion of the late monarch’s Silver Jubilee: “Your Majesty has called forth a loyalty and a love which have given a new meaning to the name of King.” Perhaps the qualities of his character most emphasized in all places and all pulpits throughout the world were his simplicity and sincerity. Those two vital characteristics ever predominate in life marked the farewell cere¬ mony of his lying in state. The design of this last observance was all the more impressive to his saddened people by its freedom from any flourish of ostentation. Those who knew him intimately have shown us that he looked upon himself as a “very ordinary fellow.” Although Fate had entrusted to him an extraordinary place and part in the world—he did not forget the com¬ mon chord that binds all men—but his sense of duty and fellowship only brought him closer to them. This gentle humility of the modest king is finely expressed in his Christmas message: “It is the personal link between my people and me which I value more than I can say. It binds us together in all our common joys and sorrows—wherever you are, God bless you and keep you always!” 70 THE ANALECTA IN MEMORY OF THE LATE KING GEORGE V—Continued. The point of circumstance, lastly, that endeared him to the nation, was the fearful burden he was called upon to endure. His life, shattered with sickness, was not what anyone would call fortunate in its season. But his suffering only touched his people the more and their loyal hearts reached out to him in loving sympathy—too deep for tears. World-wide homage was paid to the beloved King. Twenty nations sent representatives to attend the funeral, and twenty nations listened to the passing of the procession and final service of farewell and committal at St. George ' s Chapel, Windsor. For the world knows that with his passing there passes also an epoch that was moulded by his kindly spirit and enriched by his nobility of mind. We may apply the old Greek writer’s words to him and say that, after all the anxieties he bravely bore, he has ' now “won this also—to be at rest.” DORA MASSON, Assistant Editor. THE LAST OF THE BORGIAS (First Prize Serious) Cesare Borgia stood looking up at the old castle. It was dusk. The air was very still—no breeze stirred the leaves on the shaggy trees, nor brushed aside the low-hanging clouds of the overcast sky—clouds which seemed to be closing in like some great evil monster. The very silence held the foreboding of tragedy. The sky was grey—the castle was grey—every¬ thing reflected that color,—grey—grey for ashes and graves,—the ashes and graves of the once famed Borgias, long since gene and now all but forgotten. Cesare shook himself. He was letting the atmosphere of the place depress him. He shivered slightly as he looked at the old castle again. If only he didn’t have to go in—it looked so gloomy and deserted—the barred and shuttered windows, the overgrown terraces and paths, the crumbling stone steps—but he had to—he had thought it all over many times before and had decided it was the only way to set his mind at rest. His sweetheart, Lynne,, hadn’t wanted him to go—she had been afraid for him. She had heard strange tales of ghosts who came at dusk to hau nt the old castle— ghosts of the long dead Borgias who were said to return to the scene of their many misdeeds. She had begged him not to go. But he had to be sure—for her sake—sure that that streak of insanity which had long lain dormant in the Borgias would not spring to life again in him. And so he had come. And now, trying to overcome that persistent foreboding of evil, he walked swiftly up the moss covered path and climbed the sunken, crumbling steps to the heavy old oak door. He pressed his shoulder to it—it gave slowly, and as it creaked back a sharp gust of wind swept’ up through the trees, brushing Cesare’s cheek like cold wings and rushed, on through the castle. He stood on the doorstep and peered into the deep gloom of the room before him—he could discern nothing. Lie fumbled for a match, and striking it, crossed the threshold and entered the castle—the door swung slowly shut behind him. There was a moment of silence—then a sharp clap of thunder , and the clouds rent asunder pouring down torrents of rain which the sudden wind THE ANALECTA 71 THE LAST OF THE BORGIAS—Continued. whirled about the castle as it howled mournfully around the gables and through the trees. Inside, Cesare, accustoming his eyes to the gloom saw near by on an old-fashioned organ a heavy candelabra containing six candles. As the match he held flickered out, he stumbled across to the organ and striking another lit the old candles. In the dull gloom which now dimly illuminated the room he looked about and felt a newly awakened fear. It was so desolate —everywhere lay ruin—still partially furnished—the walls hung with splendid silken tapestries, their glory now faded under centuries of dust. The yellowed ivory keys of the organ were so many skeletons in the gloom. Cobwebs hung from the ceiling and walls like a huge net waiting to enmesh him in its folds. He shivered again. Looking across the vast room he saw a broad winding staircase circling upwards. Picking up the light he crossed to it— his footsteps echoing hollowly in the empty castle. Lie slowly climbed the stairs. Half way up, the stairway widened into a small balcony, and, stop¬ ping here for a moment his eyes caught in the dim light a gleam,—then mount¬ ing closer he saw a small shield hanging on, the wall — it contained three Florentine daggers. Cesare put the candelabra down cn the dusty floor and reaching up pulled one of the daggers from its sheath. He held it close to the light and his eyes widened and something akin to terror welled up into them, for the blade was rusted with blood. And even as he looked, the dagger faded from sight and a new picture formed before his eyes. Looking down from the balcony, he saw the room below him—not in the desolation of ruins as it had lain but a moment before, but now it was as it must have been years ago—massive furniture, velvet curtains drawn at the windows, a fire crackling on the hearth—and in the gleam of the candle¬ light Cesare saw two people in that room—a woman and a man. There was no mistaking the woman—anyone who had ever heard of Lucretia Borgia knew her for her beauty. She was tall and slender with olive skin and smooth black hair brushed in shining wings from her face. She was beautiful—yes—but what struck you most was that peculiar gleam in her dark eyes—it inspired fear and yet it fascinated—it held Cesare’s eyes on her face. She was speaking to the man now. He was young, scarcely more than a boy—tall and stalwartly built, with curly fair hair which even the Greek gods would have envied—but his handsome face was weak, and now full of fear. He fell to his knees—pleadingly—pleading with Lucretia Borgia! And even as Cesare watched he knew what that boy’s fate would be, Lucretia was through with him—and with her it was “off with the old love, on with the new.” She turned from him in seeming disgust and began to climb the stairs —the same ones which Cesare himself had climbed such a short time ago. Cesare’s fascinated eyes never left her face—as she drew nearer and nearer to him. now she stood beside him, and looked down on the room below. The boy downstairs pulled himself from his knees and raised his face to her; and Lucretia—a sudden mad light leaping to those strange wild eyes of hers— reached behind her and from that shield on the wall drew a dagger even the same one Cesare was now 7 holding in his hand—and raising her hand threw the dagger with startling accuracy, and the boy fell with a single cry—dead. Cesare started, as from a trance—he heard his name—it seemed almost an echo of the cry of that dead boy. He looked down—the room was once more deserted, dust covered, and there, in the dimness was Lynne—his sweet¬ heart—looking up at him—and, as she looked fear came into her eyes—for in 72 THE ANALECTA THE LAST OF THE BORGIAS—Continued. his she saw a sudden wild fire. Cesare’s eyes never left her face, and she fell back in terror before that look. His hands tightened on the hilt of the blood¬ stained dagger which he still held—and with almost uncanny precision he raised his hand and the dagger sped from it and sank deep into the breast of the girl below. And Cesare—his madness no longer asleep but now a raging fury—saw her fall, and with a weird cry, half sob, half laugh, hurled himself over the balcony and crashed to his death. His body lay crushed and broken beside that of his dead love. the last of the Borgias was dead. —Lillian Dattner, XII “D” “WE SHALL NOT SLEEP” (Second Prize Serious) When old Bradley of the “Clarion” sent me out last fall to investigate the strange rumours that were coming over to England from France and Belgium, I thought I was in luck. Ghosts? Of course I didn’t believe in ghosts,—of any kind. I’d investigate, to be sure, but there wouldn’t be much to write up; and it certainly was a break for me, visiting France and Flanders for the first time. I remember asking Mother 1 , the night before I left, what sort of ghost she’d like as a souvenir; and toasting the ghosts of the battlefield. Long may they live! Since my return, people tell me I am changed. Maybe they are right. But let that pass. I make no attempt at explanation, but simply set forth the facts. Bradley had suggested Boulogne as a starting point for my strange quest, but three days there brought me no nearer my objective. The people were very friendly, but any mention of the subject with which I was con¬ cerned, put an end to conversation. Evidently they didn’t want to talk about it. On the evening of the third day, having nothing better to do, I went for a long walk, beyond the city limits and out into the open country. Strolling along, I was wishing my chum, Jack Denby, were with me. What a jolly time we could have together. He’d think up all sorts of larks. The road I followed led past an old factory, which had recently been converted into a munition plant. As I approached it, I remembered having seen it the day before from the .windows of a tram, and recalled the remark of a fellow passenger that these were lousy times for the armament manufacturers—• three shifts, working day and night. But what was this? Why should the workers be marching around the building? And such numbers of them! And why should they be uniformed? Now I could see that some wore the garb of the British Tommy, others that of the French Poilu, but all shared the same terrible characteristics —they were staggering, and their faces the colour of wet cement, were twisted with the agony of men who are choking. Occasionally -a man fell to the ground, writhing, and the man behind stumbled over him. The others continued the dreadful march, sidestepping their fallen comrades. Mutters came from some of them, through clenched teeth. In terror I recognized one man, my uncle, who had been killed, August, 1917. THE ANALECTA 73 “WE SHALL NOT SLEEP”—Continued. “Uncle Jim!” Between paroxysms, he gasped out, “It’s the Devil ' s work,” : — indi¬ cating the buildings—“It must stop.” Staggering on, he muttered, “Devil’s work; devil ' s work.” Then he fell. I closed my eyes to shut out the horrible sight. When I opened them no one was there. How I got back to the city, and my room, I know not. Certain it is, I slept but fitfully. Now, indeed, I went at my task in earnest. Strangely enough, the response seemed different. Visiting peasants, officials of the War Graves’ Commission, and any others I could find, bit by bit I gathered my material. I found myself in tiny villages, and in large cities; in Flanders and in France. When my work was finished, I had a collection of strange tales—of phantom ambulances, and agonized shrieks; of guns dragged across roadways amid the snow, but leaving no marks behind; of hand-to-hand fights in the dark¬ ness; of Vimy Ridge, and the last German soldier in France. Here was plenty of evidence that something was happening. But why? And why just now? It was beyond me. Six weeks from the day I left England, I stood before the Somme Memorial, paying silent tribute to the heroic dead. I was starting for home that day, in a somewhat different spirit from that in which I had come. Turning to look over the Somme in farewell, I was astonished to see troops marching across the fields from all the neighbouring villages. From Delveille Wood, Pozieres Ridge, Guillemont and Ginchy; from Flers, Courcelette, Martinouich, Morval, Lesboeufs, and Gueudecourt, they came marching towards the Memorial. As they drew nearer, they converged, and with the British khaki and French blue mingled the German gray, until they formed one vast army, marching silently across the slopes of the Somme. Many were limping on injured legs, many were lacking a limb or two; whole groups groped sightlessly forward; others were caught in a breaking fit of coughing—the coughing of a man fighting for breath in a gas attack. When at last they reached the Memorial, they turned to me as they went by, and pointing to it, said: “That is for us. We gave our lives that wars might cease. But now men’s hates disturb our rest. ’If ye break faith with us who die, we shall not Sleep . . . ’ ” Then they marched on over the crest of the hill and disappeared. THE CELEBRITY —Isabel Gregg, XII “B” (An exerpt from a school essay by Miss Barbara Balfour) (First Prize Humorous) It had always been my most cherished ambition to meet a celebrity. On one or two occasions we have had them at our school but they never give personal interviews. Also they are hardly ever connected with the Drama or the Movies (a slang term, but evidently taking a place in our literature). It was my first intention on being given this theme, to seek out Miss Wilton, an authoress who has a cottage next to our own at Green Bay. But happily I learned in time that she is forty years of age. Her work is there- 74 THE ANALECTA THE CELEBRITY— Continued. fore finished, and, being as I am of the youth of America, I am interested in the future rather than the unenlightened past. However I am more interested in the Drama, possibly because the girls have always said that I bear a remarkable resemblance to Joan Bennett. But because of paternal influence, alas, I can never become an actress. But I have decided to write plays. In fact, I have already written some quite thrilling, and the love senes are par¬ ticularly tender. The school will recall that last year I wrote a play for our annual Dramatic Day, dealing with divorce, and that only a narrowness on the part of the faculty prevented it being put on. If I may make so bold, I should like to express the opinion that we of the class of 1935 are not children, and should not be treated as such. All this explains my sincere interest in Mr. Woods, the celebrity I am going to make my theme. I now proceed to an account of my meeting with Mr. Woods. It is my intention to conceal nothing. I can only comfort my¬ self with the knowledge that my motives were innocent and that I was but obeying the orders of my teachers, and se curing material for my theme. I consider that the attitude of my family is wrong, and that my sister Agnes is entirely unjustified in her attitude (she is only twenty months older than I am, and twenty months is not two years as she seems to think). I returned home full of happy plans for my vacation. Alas! QUOTE—“The best laid schemes of mice and men, Gong oft aglay.”—Wordsworth. When I look back it seems strange that the gay, carefree, innocent girl could have been me. So much that is tradgic has happened since. Father met me at the train. I had previously got (gotten?) a cinder in my eye and a very nice young man had taken it out for me. I still can’t see what harm there was in our chatting after that, especially as we said nothing to object to. But father looked very disagreeable about it and the nice young man grabbed his bag hurriedly and left us. But it, started off wrong although I got him—father—to promise not to tell mother. “I do wish you would be more careful, Bab,” he sighed. “Careful,” I said. “Then it’s not doing things that counts—it’s being found out.” “Careful in your conduct, Bab.” Well, we arrived home without further mishap (if a little warm con¬ versation can be called a mishap). Mother would not kiss me because of germs. (The school will recall the time I carried whooping cough germs from school—Sadie Townsend had them—into the bosem of my family) Sis was off for the week end but Hannah was there, (Hannah is our maid) and I kissed her. Not that I’m fond of her but I had to kiss somebody. When I had retired to my boudoir to dress for dinner Hannah came up to help me unpack. I told her my plan to write a pl ay. But,” I cautioned her, “you mustn’t run and tell mother.” “Why not,” she said, pearing into my suitcase. “Because I intend to deal with Life,” I said. “I shall deal with real things, not the way we think of them. I am young, but I have thought a great deal. I shall minse nothing.” “Look here Miss Barbara,” Hannah said all at once, “what are you doing with this whiskey flask? And these socks? And you come right here and tell me where you got the things in this suitcase.” I stocked over to the bed. My blood frose in my veins. IT WAS NOT MY SUITCASE! THE ANALECTA 75 THE CELEBRITY— Continued. Words cannot describe my feelings. Hannah was staring at me with cold and accusing eyes. Now my disposition is really warm but to be falsely accused cut me to the quick . And when Hannah pulled out a box of cigarettes, and threat¬ ened to tell mother, I could not bring myself to tell her they were not mine. And besides who would have believed me? So Hannah left to- tell mother. I then investigated the suitcase. As I suspected it was not mine. It was a masculine travelling bag with letters on it’s cover in gold. The initials were R.W. But still I could not guess to whom it belonged. I supposed it was the young man of the train. A hauty knock at the door brought me to a realization of my position. It was mother. We had quite a sene in which I admitted nor denied nothing. Finally mother promised me some new dresses and a long cherished sweater if I would give up smoking and tobacco, which I readily promised to do. (It was not hard because I’ve never drank (drunk?) and smoked but once, and that only half through because of nausea and disiness). It may be asked what my essay has to do with a celibrity (Ronald Woods, in this case). I reply that it has a lot to do with it. A bare recital of a meeting may be news but it is not Art. During my next week at home I worked feverishly on my play. That is to say, when I was not being fitted for my new wardrobe. Hannah and the dressmaker used to interrupt my most precious moments at my desk by running a tape measure around me or pinning a paper pattern on me. The sowing women always had her mouth full of pins, and once owing to my remarking that I ' wished I’d been illegitimate, so I could go away and live my own life, she swallowed one. It caused a great deal of excitement, with Hannah blaming me and giving her vinegar to soften the pin. Well, it turned out allright for she kept on living but pretended to have sharp pains all over, and if the pin had been a tadpole it couldn’t have hurt her in so many places. Of course they blamed me but I only withdrew further into my shell of reserve, and kept to my writing. The climax occured at Sis’s house party. Sis had invited all kinds of people and several attractive members of the Other Sex were to be there. Among them was Ronald Woods, the actor, celibrity and subject of my theme. Of course I was tremendously excited. I wore my white organdie dress and red slippers. The dress is very decolette, and if I say so myself I appeared at my best. The dance was in full swing (colloquilism but expressive) when Ronald Woods arrived. Imagine my surprise and astonishment to observe that he was none other than the man of the train whose suitcase I had taken by mis¬ take. He recognized me at once and walked straight towards me, holding out his arms to dance. We danced around the room twise when he. asked me to sit in the arbor with him. Of course not wishing to appear a wet blanket I consented. It seemed that fate had destined me to even further disgrace than I had yet endured. It was Karma or Kismet or whatever the word is. We discussed our mistake in suitcases and then began to talk of life and acting. Of coarse I disagreed with many of his views and finally egsasperated by my pervercity, he threatened to kiss me. But I had been kissed twice before by members of the Other Sex and I suffered no ill effects so I kept right on telling him my psylosophy of life and—he did it—he kissed me. And at that awfull moment—mother walked in. I will not go into further details. Suffice to say that the next day I was sent back to school where I now spend most of my time with nothing but 76 THE ANALECTA THE CELEBRITY— Continued. my work. I am still writing. But lest the school hear false rumours con¬ cerning my confinement at school, I am writing a perfectly true and unbyased account of my plite. However there is a moral to my story which I may best express in the immortal lines of Sir Walter Scott: “Oh what a tangled web we weave, When first we practise to deceive.” —J. R. Lilligren, XII “C” MURDER (Second Prize Humorous) Cecil Horace Parkyakarkus was just a little uncomfortable now, as he reached the climax of a Detective Thriller which he was reading. He was alone at home tonight and a fierce storm was raging outside the mansion. Lightning shot through the air, lit up the large library, and caused wierd shadows to dance and flit about on the walls and ceilings. Crashes of thunder followed. First it was only a rumble, then it became louder until it reached a new high, and the very earth seemed to tremble. Boy, maybe Pantywaist Horace wasn’t scared. His hair stood on end and his false teeth rattled—or something. P He was just at the most exciting part, and I don ' t think a steam roller could have kept his hair down at this point, when—BANG! Pantywaist dropped his magazine and jumped three feet in the aip—well, maybe only two feet, and started to sing, “The Music Goes Down and Around, Wo-ho- ho-ho—.” He had just heard a revolver shot from the room directly above him. Dear Horace was imagining all sorts of things now. Maybe it was robbery—or even murder. Well, he sat there for a few seconds—seconds which seemed like hours to him—and still only silence. He was quivering like a violin string now. He could hear his heart beating or rather hammering out a rub-a-dub-dub. BANG! Another report. Now like all other courageous heroes, our brave Pantywaist set but to see who was being killed and to try and shoo the villain away. Three or four times on his way up the huge staircase, he got so scared that he had to stop and toss a coin to see if he was a man or a mouse (a la Eddie Cantor). He was a man—according to that theory—so he cautiously continued. A couple more shots rang out before he reached the top of the stairs. THE ANALECTA 77 MURDER —Continued. The door of his room was shut. He turned on the hall light, and was about to enter the room when he noticed a thick, red pool trickling from under the door and soaking into the rug. Blood! He turned chalk-white. He opened the door! Lie gasped with amazement. There was his beeeeeeeg pussy cat on the writing desk beside an overturned bottle of red ink, popping off the electric light bulbs in the room with his bean shooter. He wasn’t a very good shot and that explained why the shots came at inter¬ vals. “Wot in ' eck are you doing, Peter?” shouted our hero. And the cat got up and slowly walked away. I may add that they lived happily ever after. --Bob Helmer, XII “C” SPRING IS COMING (First Prize Serious) Spring is coming, hearts are singing, Melody is in the air; Hear the music?

This year as in other years, the concert was sponsored by the Dramatic Club with the help of the Students’ Council. The three plays presented, culminated weeks of hard work on the part of the Dramatic Club and Miss Kaulbach. The plays chosen this year were “The Valiant,” “Suppressed Desires” and “The Inca of Perusalem.” The first play, “The Valiant” was a tense, emotional drama; the scene, the warden’s office on the night of an execution. The plot of the story and the effective acting of the entire cast, held the interest of the audience, and snatches of humor kept the atmosphere from becoming too depressing. The cast included Bob Grier, as the convict; Fred Wonnacott, as the warden; Ross Upton, as the priest; Tayah Jamieson, as the visitor; and David Ramsay, the attendant. The second play presented, “The Inca of Perusalem,” was a sparkling comedy, centering around the visit of the Inca of Perusalem to the prospective bride of one of his many sons. A personal maid instead of the princess, rpeets the Inca and a very amusing situation is built up. The principal parts were taken by Lillian Dattner, Gwen Weir and Maurice Samwell, with a supporting cast consisting of Walt Smith, Bill Speerstra and David Christie. “Suppressed Desires,” the third play, was a comedy in two acts. Henrietta Brewster, played by Isabel Gregg, is a psycho-analysis faddist, but when her sister and husband plot to have psycho-analysis almost ruin her own happiness, her ideas change. All the parts were excellently played. Jack Tyo and Doreen Bradley taking the parts of the husband and sister. The play was a fitting climax to so successful an evening. Indicative of the high calibre of the plays produced by the dramatic club, when these plays were presented in the Drama Festival, at the Side Door Playhouse, they received enthusiastic praise from the adjudicator, Mrs. Elizabeth Sterling Haynes. The two plays presented were “The Inca of Perusalem,” and “Suppressed Desires. We quote in part the press report on the former play: “Maurice Samwell taking the part of Captain Duval in “The InCa of Perusalem” was accorded the finest performance of the evening on the third day of the City Drama Festival in the Side Door Playhouse with eighteen clubs contesting. “Marvellous,” was the adjective chosen by Mrs. Haynes for the per¬ formance given by Maurice Samwell as Captain Duval. In spite of his youth, the player had developed excellent gesture, stance and voice expression. The second play, “Suppressed Desires” also received high commenda¬ tion: “A comedy based on the fashion of psycho-analysis, Mrs. Haynes remarked that she had seldom seen a more sparkling performance. The team work was excellent and on the whole the grouping was the best in the festival. She commended the director, Jack Tyo, on his imaginative touches of business and remarked on the fine sense of comedy evident in his portrayal of Stephen and which he had been able to impart to the other players. She suggested that he develop more selectiveness both as director and player and prophesied that in time he would become one of Calgary’s leading comedians.” Very little of this success, however, could have been achieved without the help of the men behind the scenes. They deserve our deepest apprecia- 84 THE ANALECTA THE ANALECTA 85 THE MARCH CONCERT—Continued. tion for their efficiency, and their skill. They carried out their duties in a way that gave a finish and a smoothness to the evening’s entertainment. They are: Stage Manager...Angus McKinnon Electricians.Ken Hughes, Ronald Backhouse Stage Hands: Art Freeman, Claire Waddell, Bob Simington. The sub-directors who gave so much of their time and effort towards the success of the Concert should also receive due praise for their excellent work. May the March Concert have continued success in the years to come! DRAMATIC CLUB “The C.C.I. Dramatic Society again this year carried on its tradition in the successful presentation of a group of plays. Many students from grades XI and XII under the supervision of Miss Kaulbach and several sub-directors, have presented four excellent plays. “Three’s a Crowd” was enacted at the first Lit,, November 29, and again at the opening of the Western Canada High School Auditorium, December 21. “The Valiant,” “Suppressed Desires,” and “The Inca of Perusalem,’’ were the three plays chosen by the Reading Committee, to comprise the pro¬ gramme for the Dramatic Evening in March. This Dramatic Evening marks the grand finale of the club’s annual activities. Ably assisted by the stage hands and the make-up aritists, and equipped with fine scenery and lighting effects, the plays proved a great success. Other plays are being prepared and will be presented from time to time during the term. “Fantastic Flight” and “The Trysting Place” are in the process of preparation—excellent work in the latter being done by Ruth Lachter. The members of the club wish to express their heartfelt appreciation of Miss Kaulbach’s sympathetic assistance and untiring efforts. The following comprise the executive: Honorary President .... Miss Kaulbach President .. Maurice Samwell Vice-President.. Ruth Lachter Secretary , . Doreen Bradley THE RUGBY BANQUET Once more a tradition of C.C.I, was carried out when the Annual Rugby Banquet was held by the Grade XII girls on December 6, at 6.30. This year C.C.I.’c senior team had to share the honor of the City Championship with Western Canada, as the final games could not be played, owing to weather conditions. A programme followed supper, with Mr. Weir acting as Master of Ceremonies. The special guests for the evening were introduced. These included Dr. LIutchinson, Mr. Woodman, Mr. Beresford and Mr. Powell, who all left the staff of C.C.I. this year. The programme consisted of 86 THE ANALECTA THE RUGBY BANQUET— Continued. speeches and presentations, and musical numbers provided by Mary Switzer, Joyce Stemp, and Frank Woodman. On behalf of the grade XII girls, Madeleine Maguire presented Miss Elliott with a bouquet of mauve and yellow mums, and Ronald Glover presented the Grade XII girls with choco¬ lates from the Rugby boys. Then the tables and chairs were cleared away, and the evening finished with dancing.

Formerly owned and published by two or three students of C.C.I. as an individual enterprise, it is now, for the first time, the property of the Students’ Council and thus more truly a school paper, of the school and for the school. THE HI-Y CLUB The Hi-Y club of Central, under the capable leadership of Mr. Pully- blank, again started its year successfully. The members of the club locked after the coats at the Lits., and acted as a vigilance committee to see that there was no smoking in the school. The induction service for the new members took place at the home of Stewart THE ANALECTA 87 THE HI-Y CLUB— Continued. Campbell, after which refreshments were served. The club held a party for members and their friends in the Reliance Club. Discussions on various topics took place at the regular meetings of the club. The club, after several discussions as to means of improving the Weekly Weeper, decided to have a committee appointed to interview the editors, with a view to taking it over. The result was that the Weeper was bought by the Students’ Council, and is to be run by the Hi-Y Club, with Ray Fairbairn as editor, under the supervision of the Council. The Executive: Mentor ..

THE GIRLS’ HI-Y A Girls’ Hi-Y was formed in C.C.I., March, 1936, with Miss James as Mentor. The club was formally organized at a banquet on March 19. The members consist of girls from Grade XI and Grade XII, and the meetings are held every Monday after school. Discussions on various subjects are an important part of the Hi-Y programme. This club has become one of C.C.I.’s important functions and We hope it will continue to be successful. Executive: Mentor . Miss James President ... Madeleine Maguire Vice-President .

ALPHA GAMMA SORORITY The Alpha Gamma Sorority was organized in Central Collegiate Insti¬ tute in 1930 by a group of eight girls. With the taking in of five new members in 1935, the Sorority has now increased its membership to thirty. The varied activities continued through¬ out the year, giving pleasure to both the students of Central and the members of the sorority. The activities included a luncheon, tea, Bunko Party, two successful dances and a New Year’s Party. Besides this, the Sorority has also assisted needy families by giving Christmas hampers and a donation to Sunshine. 88 THE ANALECTA ALPHA GAMMA SORORITY— Continued. The Executive: President .

KAPPA ZI SORORITY February of 1936 saw the completion of the second year in the life of this sorority. During these years the sorority, through its continued further¬ ance of school activities, won the name of “Central’s best Sorority” for itself. From the beginning when there were only seven members, they have supported the school and Parent-Teachers in all their activities. Also they have aroused interest in the Interscholastic Track Meet by presenting a cup as a Girls’ Total Point award. When the Junior Hockey won the City Championship, the girls honored them by presenting crests to each member of the team. Outside the school, the sorority has held four successful dances, one of which was in aid of the Wood’s Home. The girls have divided their time between meetings and novel enter¬ tainments for their members and friends. As they start their third year, they say to their supporters: “Thanks a lot,” and to themselves they say: “Forward, for Central!” The Executive: President ..... Mary Robinson Secretary ...

The club’s activities commenced early in the Fall of last year, on Oct. 4th, when the girls held a successful dance—“Rugby Round-Up.” Later on, a telephone court whist was held at the homes of various members of the club.

The 1935-36 season has been a very active one for the members of this club. A Christmas hamper was given to help a needy family. Several delightful parties have been held at the homes of various members and the girls are planning a dance during the Easter week. The meetings of this club are held every two weeks.

Today, ten years later, this popular and widely known club is the only chartered school fraternity in the city. The club is composed of students and ex-students of C.C.I. Its pur¬ pose is to support worthy activities in and about the school and to bring before the students outstanding social events. The interests of C.C.I. are those of the K.K.T. Three successful dances have already been held by the club this year. The Christmas Party was enjoyed by all present. The betterment of C.C.I. is ever present in the minds of the individual members of the club at the school. The associations of the Kappa Kappa Tau are closely related to the school. It is the big brother to the Junior and Intermediate rugby squads, who have been supplied much needed equipment for their gridiron sport. 1936 being the tenth anniversary of the Kappa Kappa Tau, special celebrations are being planned for the first of next season. The ten year career of the K.K.T. is a varied and colorful one, with the interests of C.C.I. predominating. On October 22nd, 1926, the Kappa Kappa Iota, as the club was then known, held its first social function, a dance, at McDonald’s Academy. The clubs “Chou Chin Chou Frolic,” on February 4 dominated the sociai season of 1927. The 1929-30 season saw. the Taus again in the fore with their pre¬ sentation of “Fall Debut” on October 17, and on January 30 their “January Jamboree.” The orchestras were those of Earl Rutan and Russ Gideon. Remember? In 1931, “Collegiate Capers” was the hit of the season. January 8, 1932; Time 11.30 p.m., Palace Theatre, Calgary. The show, “See America Thirst;” the sponsors, The Kappa Kappa Tau; the proceeds, sweaters for the C.C.I. Senior Championship; Rugby Club. Later that same year on December 2, Billy Adams and his nine-piece orchestra entertained at the “Santa Claus Preview.” 1933 saw the Premiere Prom,” on September 22 with Fred McDougall’s band in attendance. A Gala Party was held at McDonald’s by the club prior to the departure of our senior rugby club for Edmonton, where they were to win a decisive victory over the northern city. 1934—Valentine Dance, February 7, Easter Dance March 23. Prob¬ ably more easily to be recalled are the events of 1935, that never-to-be- forgotten “Speedway Special.” And in 1936, no need to mention the “Mid¬ winter Night’s Dream,” and “Pirates Prom.” And so the Kappa Kappa Tau passes in review. The membership of the club is widely represented by men well advanced in the business world and scattered over the continent. T hey are, however, constantly in touch with the club, and their interests are closely allied to C.C.I. THE ANALECTA 91 THE KAPPA KAPPA TAU— Continued. The officers of the club are: President ......

THE KAPPA GAMMA CLUB For the past six years this club has been a link between the High Schools of the city. It is comprised of approximately eighteen girls, repre¬ senting all the High Schools, and meets once a week in the Y.W.C.A. club rooms for supper. This year the club has been under the leadership of Miss Nellie James and Miss Helen Thomson. Local speakers have addressed the club on such topics as Household Science, Dramatics, Current Events, and Mark Twain. At other meetings there were discussions led by the girls themselves on Religion, Book Reviews, Travel and other subjects of interest to girls. The club ideals are best expressed in the club purpose: ‘‘We, the girls of the Kappa Gamma Club, in the presence of God and each other do pledge ourselves to help one another in the keeping of this covenant—to create, main¬ tain and extend throughout the school and community, high standards of Christian character, and to stand together on and for the platform of clean speech, clean sports, clean scholarship and clean living. For the last two years the representatives from Central High School have been: 1934- 35 . Louise Thirwell, Madeleine Maguire 1935- 36 . Madeleine Maguire, Frances Woolverton DELTA RHO (Amicitia Aeterna Conjunct!) Towards the close of the winter term, a fraternity of boys, already well known at C.C.I. was formed. Destined to prove themselves worthy of their binding pledge, they expect to become exceedingly active in the near future. They have already held several socials, which proved to be ' out¬ standing successes. From time to time new members will be admitted, but the membership is limited to students or graduates of C.C.I. 92 THE ANALECTA DELTA RHO —Continued. The club has progressed a great deal since March, meetings being held every two weeks at the member’s homes, where topics of grave interest to the boys have been discussed. The executive and members are as follows: Maurice Samwell, Elmer Borgal, Bob Pearson, Bill Speerstra, Doug. Pettigrew. THE GRADUATION PARTY The second C.C.I. Graduation Party was sponsored by the Students’ Council and was held on May 31st in St. Stephen’s Memorial Hall. The guests included the Graduating Class and their partners, and the Staff. The refreshments for this affair were supplied by the Home and School Association. Dancing occupied the first part of the evening and then supper was served. Les Thirwell acted as Chairman and introduced the speakers, Dr. Hutchinson and Archdeacon Swanson. Then the prizes for the contests for short stories and poems for the Analecta were presented. The winners were: Dorothy Nager, Mary Beard, Christine Van Der Mark, Isabel Gregg, Tayah Jamieson, Aileen Cranston, Wilfred Johnston, Ray Jones, Stuart McNab, Roddy Dewar, Claude Brown. Dancing was again enjoyed after supper and the party broke up about one o’clock. Hobart Cowan and his orchestra provided the music. The Graduation Party is a fitting climax to four years of High School life, and we hope it will soon be included in the traditions of C.C.I. THE BITS. This year two very successful Lits. were sponsored by the Students’ Council. At the Lit. held in November, several members of the Dramatic Club presented a play: “Three’s a Crowd.’’ At the second Lit. a musical programme was enjoyed. Dancing, of course, always follows the programme at these affairs. Lits are one of the best opportunities for the students to become ac¬ quainted with: each other, so may they have continued success in the years to come. THE STUDENTS’ COUNCIL Time marches on, and the Students’ Council again records a year of service in the interests of C.C.I. The year 1935-36 has not perhaps been as successful financially as other years, due to the fact that there has been fewer money-making projects, and more expenditures, comparatively speaking. However in other ways, the Council feels that it has upheld the high standard of previous years. At the beginning of the school year, the Council took over the respon¬ sibility of reorganizing the various clubs and societies of the school. During THE ANALECTA 93 94 THE ANALECTA THE STUDENTS’ COUNCII Continued. the rugby season the members of the Council sold tickets to the games and devised means by which the senior coach might be paid. Also in conjunction with the Dramatic Club and with the help of the Hi-Y Club, arrangements were made for the Lits., which are one way of raising funds for the school. This year, too, through the Council, sweatshirts were bought. Besides this, the Council is the medium for the publication of the Analecta, since it elects the editor and the business manager. One of the most progressive advances made this year by the Council was the taking over of the Weeper, following discussions in the Hi-Y Club, in which this move was suggested. The Weeper will thus be more truly representative of the interests of the school. None of these things, however, could have been accomplished without the co-operation of the student body and the Council wishes to thank all the students for their support.

Editors : JACK HALL, MADELEINE MAGUIRE THE ANALECTA 97 RUGBY Once again, after one year of lying dormant, the rugby equipment was brought to light; the big push was on. From the first groans of the Physical training, to the last plays in the final game, some sixty odd rugby addicts took the bumps and liked it. This year, Central as usual entered three teams in the bid for Interscholastic honours and by October they were “raring to go” on the first whistle of the opening game. SENIOR RUGBY This year a whole new team was built up from raw material, with only a few experienced players to help. Doc.” Campbell was chosen for senior coach, and had it not been for his coaching ability, Central would have undoubtedly been left behind. “Doc.” turned out a club that played as a team, and there were no individual stars. However, due to bad weather, the schedule was not completed, and Central together with Western were left co-holders of the championship award. Central 8 — Commercial 5 This was an exhibition game and the first one of the season. Central went into the lead after a forward from Helmer to Stark. The ball was then kicked and it bounced into touch for the opening point. Second period saw Stark make a twenty-five yard run to place the ball for Pippard, who booted a field goal. Another field goal was tried but missed the uprights an d resulted in a rouge. Then Ken Wilson scooped a Central fumble to race fifty-five yards before he was down on the 5 yard line by Stark. But Walter Holden crossed the touch line for 5 points on the next play. The score was tied at 5-5. The fourth quarter was stubbornly contested, but Pippard kicked his second field goal out of three attempts making the score 8 to 5 in Central’s favor. Central 13 — Commercial 11 The first league game in a close contest. In the first period, Howard made a major score, while the convert was a pass from Helmer to Christie. A slight wind enabled Lennox to kick to the fifty yard line. Stark and Hall plunged to put the ball back on the 23 yard line. MacRae, however, ran the ball back to middle field. Lennox then kicked to MacRae, who broke away to cross the scoring strip. Again Central got in possession, but on an attempted placement, Bromely, of Commercial, instead of Lennox, kicked the ball back to Central’s 35 yard line. Gerlitz then kicked, making the score 6-6. In the beginning of the third, Gerlitz snagged a Central pass to run for a touch making the score 11 - 6, in favor of Commercial. However, from the kick-off Hall gained to start a Central advance. Then Lennox found an opening to go 18 yards for a touch. Score 11-11. Howard made a great gain for Central on a return kick. Then Central’s linesmen blocked a Com¬ mercial kick, leaving Lennox to kick two points. Final score 13 - 11 for C.C.I. Central 19 — Crescents 5 Scoring started early after Stark blocked a kick and Henderson dribbled the ball to the 5 yard line, Howard carried it across for five points on the next play. In the second quarter Lennox kicked for a point, but Crescents came back for five points when Belkin tossed a forward to Grant. Th en Howard rouged Harling for a single point. Third period saw Barr and Lennox make repeated gains, till Lennox again kicked to the touch line for a single point. Following two end-runs by Barr and Hall, Glover took 98 THE ANALECTA SENIOR RUGBY— Continued. a pass from Helmer on a Sluper-play and made a major score. Lennox converted. Then in the fourth quarter it was a 20 yard pass to Webb and a fumble grabbed by McNab for a 25 yard run, that placed the ball in Cres¬ cent’s territory. Stark bucked and Hall gained on an end-run to place the ball 5 yards out. Then Lennox crossed the line to make the score 19-5 for Central. BIOGRAPHIES OF SENIOR RUGBY TEAM Coach Dr. Gordon Campbell— “Doc” really turned out a smooth-working club from the inexperienced players he had. He is an ex-Centralite who played on a C.C.l. Championsihp Rugby Team. Due to his rugby experience in the United States he was well fitted to give us the fundamentals and plays of Interference Rugby. He is well known and liked around the school, and we hope he will be back again next year. The team wish to congratulate “Doc” on his success, and to express it in their words—■ “Thanks a million.

He filled his place as both an excellent wing-man and a good quarter-back. Dave Christie —(Wing) Weight 155. Age 17. Dave’s second year with the C.C.I. Seniors. Graduated from a middle to a big wing man who knew the art of clipping and tackling. We missed him at the end of the season. Some of the Boys. INTERMEDIATE RUGBY This year the Intermediates were deserted by “Lady Luck.” Not receiving many favorable opportunities this year, the Intermediates did not secure the coveted championship for C.C.I. Gordon Evans turned out a well balanced team and most of the players are trained for C.C.l.’s Seniors next year. BIOGRAPHIES OF INTERMEDIATE RUGBY TEAM Bill Topley- -Centre. A dead-eye snap who fills his position capably and was a hard man to take out. Gordon Irving —Centre. Another snap who knows his position and played it well. “Curly” Richards —Inside. “Curly” was a hard, steady player. Broke up opposing lines and was a real asset to the team. 102 THE ANALECTA BIOGRAPHIES OF INTERMEDIATE RUGBY TEAM— Continued. “Chinky” Stewart —Inside. Chinky,” although a trifle small for this position made up for it in fiery spirit. He’s a great tackier and snagged all fumbles. Roger Wilson —Middle. A half-back who strengthened the line to great advantage. A good senior prospect for next year. Dave Murdoch —Middle. Dave is a good, steady, hard-working middle, who opened up holes in the opposing line. Stopped many plays from opposing teams. Another senior lineman for next year. “Red” Sullivan —Middle. A fast-charging player, who could both carry a ball and cut an open¬ ing for the back field. Rod Leggat —End. A deadly tackier and pass receiver who played his best all year. Bill Mair —End. A real end man who tackled as it should be done and could take a pass from any angle. Dawn Fairbairn —Quarter. A capable field-general, who liked it best when the play was hardest. Although small he could down any opposing player. Don McQueen —Half. Don was a good, hard-working half, who plunged and passed well. He is following in the steps of his brother Jim. Howard Kennedy —Half. A good ball carrier and tackier, who helped the team greatly. Carl Egan —Half. Carl is living up to his brother Gail’s achievements. A fleet runner on end-runs and a sure tackier. Joe Dutton —-Half. Captain. Joe came into his own this year and was a star. He passed, kicked and plunged to advantage. Will undoubtedly be an able performer on next year’s Seniors. Gordon Evans —Coach. Gordon put a lot of time on the team and really got it into shape after telling them his method of P. T. He put forth a good club this year. We hope to see him return next year. JUNIOR RUGBY This year Junior Rugby was as sadly left behind as the Intermediate. However the boys tried their hardest to win, learning to take the bumps like the rest, with a grin. The team was not endowed with enough experienced players this year for a championship. However, another year will soon be here and they will again try to wrest the shield from the champions. Good luck to the Juniors of 1936. BIOGRAPHIES OF JUNIOR RUGBY TEAM Jim Grant —Half. Did most of the kicking and teamed well with Jack on the end-runs. THE ANALECTA 103 BIOGRAPHIES OF JUNIOR RUGBY TEAM —Continued. Jack Christopher —Half. Revealed his ability to throw passes. He was a good broken-field runner. Bill Webb— Half. Delighted in stopping opponent’s plays with a bang and certainly excelled in snagging fumbles. Dick Richards —Half. A heavy plunger who made a hole in any line. A game player and a good tackier. Bob Neal— Half. A star plunger.And how he twisted away from opposing tacklers. Was a fine passer and tackier. Clarence Bell —Quarter. Captain. He was the heaviest man on the team and was a reliable, quick-thinking quarter. Put plenty of gusto behind the ball for long punts. Jack Russel —Centre. Jack’s second year with the Juniors and his experience proved helpful with the rest of the line. He was a sure snap and a good secondary defense man. Aaron Mann —Inside. A good lineman who stopped many plays before they got started. Dick Pike —Inside. A little light and inexperienced, but opened holes like a veteran. 1 II ‘No! I didn ' t blow the whistle, boys. It’s just my asthma. 104 THE ANALECTA BIOGRAPHIES OF JUNIOR RUGBY TEAM —Continued. Douglas Auld —End. A game player and good tackier. Brings down kick receivers with a jar. Bob Kredentser —Middle. Capably filled his position but a little inexperienced. Arthur Greer —Middle. Blocked everything that was near him. Clipped so that opposing backs remembered they had been hit. Russ Alverson —Middle. Old man with the Juniors, after three years of rugby. Was a fine linemen and knew how to throw his weight at opposing lines. Ross Logan —End. A light, speedy End who was well down on the punt for the tackle. Howard Irwin —End. A dependable pass receiver. Broke up plays with plenty of zip. Ross MacLaughlin —End. Ross was a small player but knew how to snag forwards on the run. Frank Petley —End. A hard tackier, he knew how to take and give bumps, so he was moved from half to end to strengthen the line. Lionel White —End. Small, but took the bumps with a grin. Desmond Mountford— “Dizzy” did not get much of a chance. All he needs is encouragement to become a star next year. Arnold Prosser —Coach. One of the graduates from C.C.I. who injected his fighting spirit into the boys and made them go out on the grid-iron, determined to win. A great deal of credit goes to Arnold for building up a team out of players of whom only five had played rugby before. We hope he will coach again next year for the championship. Ray Fairbairn —Assistant Coach. Ray coached the linemen, showing them the tricks of clipping and pulling together. Although he did not have much to work with, he succeeded in turning out an efficient line. Ray can’t keep away from the rugby boys and we hope he will help again next year. SENIOR HOCKEY This year Central lost the Hockey Shield it had won last year. Although the team reached the semi-finals, it was discovered an illegible player had taken part in the first game and Central had to forfeit her games. However, the boys put up a lot of fight to keep the shield at C.C.I. Wilbur Lennox, star forward of the Rangers, Alberta Champions, coached the club, and turned out a well balanced hockey team. THE TEAM:— Goal —Tom “Shutout” Barr. Defence —Allan Neal, Clint Willour, Ken Barr, Jack Howard. Forwards —Ross Wallace, Gordon King, Joe Dutton, Bill Todd, Dick Webb, Don MacQueen, George Wagner, Doug. Newborn, Red Sullivan. THE ANALECTA 105 JUNIOR HOCKEY This year the Juniors failed to bring the championship to Central. Although a trifle small, they put up a good fight. Next year we hope they will do a little better. Some of them are excellent prospects for the Senior ranks next year. THE TEAM— Goal —Ross MacLaughlin. Defence —Dawn Fairbairn, Clarence Bell, Bill Webb, Bernard Thrope. Forwards —Jim Grant, Jack Christopher, Doug. Auld, Frank Petley, Ross Logan, Bob Neal. TRACK MEET The boy’s track team representing Central for 1935 displayed one- hundred percent improvement over the track team of the year before. The turn out was by far the best in recent years, and we hope they do doubly well in 1936. In 1934, Central came fifth with 27 points, but last year Central came third with 41 points, showing that this old Alma Mater has renewed her interest in the track meet. Central led the field in the “C” class division championship, bringing to our halls the St. Julien Shield. In this division, Pete McRae gathered 15 points for the highest individual honors and made a new record in the run¬ ning broad jump, with a jump of 19 ft. 7 in. Ray Fairbairn came second in the broad jump. Ray was last year ' s highest scorer in individual points for Central. In the twelve lb. shot-put, Pete was first with a put of 30 ft. 3in. And in the 100 yd. dash, Ray again came second, adding two more points. The hop, step and jump saw both Pete and Ray add to the score with a second and fourth place. In the 660, Scottie McRoberts and Pete came in second and third respectively. Central’s relay team came second, thus giving Central 28 points in the “C’’ division. In the smaller boys’ class, the Central relay team, consisting of White, Logan, Belkin and Head, came second in the “A” division. The “B” division boys were not so fortunate, but they gained one point when Bateman came fourth in the 8 lb. shot-put. In the “D” division, C.C.I. found a lot of competition, but they came through with 8 points. In the 16 lb. shot Bob Bray won fourth place for a point. In the high jump, Neil German put up the most stubborn fight of the day. Neil really put all he had into that last jump, but he did hot quite make it. However, he came third, and gave the crowd a great thrill with his fine display of jumping. In the running broad jump, John Hill captured another third place for Central. C.C.I.’s senior relay team pounded down the stretch for a second place. The team consisted of Hill, Snell, Wonnacott and Flumerfelt. The two mile race brought an extra 12 points, making a total of 48 points. The “A” and “B” divisions are not up to standard as yet, but this year if the track team improves as it did last year, Central will undoubtedly come out on top with the highest honors ever. ? FAIRBMRN D. WEBB THE ANALECTA 107 BASEBALL Last year Baseball was left out of the school sports altogether due to the returned interest in the track meet, as the boys and girls did not have time to participate in both sports. However, this, I think, was for the best as C.C.I. made a better showing in the Track Meet than it had in previous years. ' BASKETBALL Basketball turned out to be a dismal failure this year in the sports of C.C.I. There was such a poor turn out that a team could not be made up to enter the School League. However, next year the Hi-y Club will see that something is done concerning Basketball and we hope that at least one team will represent C.C.I. in the race for basketball honors in the School League. SENIOR GIRLS’ BASKETBALL The senior girls started the season with great enthusiasm. Under the able coaching of Mr. Churchill, they showed a fine brand of basketball, but unfortunately, due to so many other school activities, they did not receive sufficient support to turn out a championship team. However, they wer? defeated only by small margins and never failed to put up a fine fight. Central vs. Crescent Heights—14-22. Although at a disadvantage because of the large floor at the Western Gymnasium, the girls played a good game until the last quarter, when Crescent Heights took the lead. Central vs. Commercial—17-25. The C.C.I. girls played their hardest in this game. Maureen James starred in long shots from every angle. Central vs. Western—19-15. As only one-half of the Western floor could be used in this game, our girls were at an advantage. They played a fine game and their accurate shooting and excellent team work led them to victory. Central vs. Crescent Heights—20-27. This game, played at Crescent Heights, was a hard one for Central to lose. It was not until the last two minutes of play that the Crescent Heights girls forged ahead to win by a very small margin. Central vs. Commercial—15-24. This was a really good game with accurate long shots on the part of the forwards. The fast passing with good team work made this one of the best games of the season. Central vs. Western—24-27. The girls put all they had in this last game and played fast, flashy basketball. It was not until the last few minutes that the Westerns got the advantage and won the right to meet Crescent Heights for the championship. 108 THE ANALECTA BIOGRAPHIES OF SENIOR BASKETBALL GIRLS Maureen James— Tall centre. An accurate shot starring particularly in long shots. Phyllis Brown— Tall, fast and a fine shot. Phyllis is an all round, dependable player. Pat Turner— Tricky. King Edward star of last year. A good forward and fast passer. Phyllis Kennedy— An exceptionally good guard and proves a sure shot at any opportunity. Helen Bride— A steady, dependable defence player, who always keeps her head. June McFarlane— Another brilliant forward from King Edward. An asset to the team. Patricia Wickens— Small, flashy forward who knows how to pick the open spaces. Ruth Lachter— A dependable guard. Ruth’s not very tall, but she checks effectively. JUNIOR GIRLS’ BASKETBALL The junior team this year possessed some fine material. However, at the first of the season, most of the players were unused to playing with one another and for this reason did not work together as a team well enough to come through with the honors. Nevertheless each girl did her utmost for the school and next year, with the help of these juniors, C.C.I. will be sure to produce at least one championship team. Central vs. East Calgary—10-23. In their first game, the juniors put up a good fight, but did not play their positions to the best advantage and as a result were defeated. Central vs. Western—12-39. Due to the absence of Mr. Churchill, the girls did not play their usual steady game. However, Josie Brown played an outstanding game on defence for Central, which kept the score of the opposing team down considerably. Central vs. Crescent Heights—9-32. The girls again did their best to make Central the winning team, but were again disappointed, due to the large floor at Crescent Heights. Central vs. East Calgary—16-23. This was the best junior game of the season. Good checking and fine passing, combined with excellent teamwork on the part of Central, almost caused the defeat of East Calgary, who only won by a few points. Central vs. Western—9-36. Although Western were again the victors, the Central girls played their hardest to the very end, and displayed excellent team work. Central vs. Crescent Heights. This game was not played and would have no effect on the standing of the teams in the league. THE ANALECTA 109 BIOGRAPHIES OF JUNIOR BASKETBALL GIRLS Cora Hicks, Captain— A steady, dependable guard. Cora keeps up the spirits of the whole team. Margaret (Bunty) Wilson— Tall centre and forward. A sure shot. Josephine (Josie) Brown— Josie is a good shot and a fast passer. Plays well at centre, forward, or on defence. Helen Sloane— Small, fast and a good shot. Helen plays, guard equally as well as forward. Grace Mills— Fast and tricky. A good dependable player. Betty Luton— A tiny forward who fools her opponents by slipping under their arms. Another sure shot. Edith Gaston— An all round player. Steady and a good shot. Mr. Churchill— An untiring coach, who worked hard to turn out two good teams. THE GIRLS’ TRACK MEET The Girls’ Track Meet last year was held on May 21. The teachers and the whole student body stood behind the Meet and as a result C.C.I. won third place with approximately 22 points. Sheila Grineau of “C” class starred for Central, winning 9 points by her efforts in the running broad jump and the dash. Aileen Cranston, Dorothy Porter and others also won points. Having made this fine showing last year, C.C.I. should be on the top this year and present an unbeatable track team. BADMINTON Since the first of the year, Badminton has been the chief sport interest among the girls. At the end of February, the club arranged its annual tour¬ nament which, as usual, caused keen competition among the members. Jean Hutchinson, a very premising player, defeated Doris Bride in an exciting match to win the singles. In the doubles, Jean and Madeleine Maguire won the honors by de¬ feating Shirley Ireland and Helen Thorssen in the final match. At the end of the season, a picked team consisting of Jean Hutchinson, Doris Bride, Madeleine Maguire, Verness Ridgeway, Betty Pettigrew, Ruth Lachter, Dorothy Gush and Kay Moore met a similar team of Crescent Heights girls to play an inter-school tournament which provided a great deal of entertainment. It is to be hoped that this idea of inter-school Badminton tournaments will be promoted and that Badminton will become a regular school sport. 110 THE ANALECTA INDEX TO ADVERTISERS (Alphabetical List) Avenue Grill Anderson, J.

The Analecta, the culmination of weeks of arduous effort, has been completed. We place it in your hands, conscious of the fact that we have failed to ascend that pinnacle, but with the hope that you will accept it with all its deficiencies and imperfections as your Year Book, infused with all the sincerity and conscientiousness of effort that we have poured into it. A t this point I wish to thank all those who, through their untiring efforts, have contributed so much to the successful publication of the Analecta. First—the Staff, not only for their concentrated effort but for their splendid co-operation; Miss Kaulbach and Mr. Forsythe for their indispensable work as Supervising Editors; Mr. Weir and Mr. Scott for their valuable assistance pertinent to the business management of the Analecta; and lastly to those advertisers, who have made this Analecta possible. I wonder if the majority of us realize the value of the Analecta, that book in which the history of the school year is collected and preserved. Our daily contact with the school perhaps blinds us to its potential value. In the words of Browning: “distance all value enhances.” So in years to come we will look back at the Analecta with the host of memories it conjures up in the mind, and we will realize all the more intensely its value. The publication of the Analecta is a fitting climax to our years of study at C.C.I. May it have cntinued success in the days to come! RAY MARTYNE, Editor-in-Chief. ALTCGCAPHS i y V« n cj . w®c)OQ
