On Leave of Absence IN HEMCCIAM MARJORIE FOLEY It seems incredible that that loveable, laughing lassie should be with us no more—but God willed it so. He sent her here to teach us the true meaning of sweetness and unselfishness—now that she has completed that mis- sion—short though it may have been—she has gone back Home, from whence she came. All of us who loved her will not soon forget the deep wound that her passing away has left. But her friends and parents may be somewhat healed by knowing that she is happier where she is. Nothing can ever take away The love a heart holds dear, Fond memories linger every day. Remembrance keeps her near.” CDIT€PI iL$ AND §CH€L4RSHII3S THE ANALECTA 15 THE FIRST ANALECTA—JUNE, 1911 In the fall of 1908 the Echo, the Analecta’s parent, was first published. This fortnightly paper appeared in the Literary Society under the editorship of Robert Hall. For two years it grew with real Western rapidity until in 1911 it gained the dignity of a printed edition. This first Analecta appeared in a dark grey cover with an elaborate and much bescrolled cover design bearing the challenge “Advance.” Its fifty pages were divided among the following sections; Literary, Sports, Society, Clubs, Contributions, Exchange, and Wit and Humor. Its staff con¬ sisted of: Supervisor—Mr. W. G. Carpenter. Editor-in-chief—C. W. Newcomb. Business Managers—Roy Black, Noble Black and Assistant Editors, Reporters and Artists. In between the lines on its already yellowing pages we read of that flaming school-spirit that we have inherited. Many Analectas have been published since then, sometimes once, and sometimes twice a year. It is our sincere hope that each edition of this embodiment of our un¬ wavering school-spirit may be just a little better than its predecessor. Let the Analecta take as its motto that inscription on Volume One— Number One “Advance.” STAFF CHANGES There have been several changes in the personel of the Central High School staff during the past year. Last summer, Mr. Thorlakson was granted a year ' s leave of absence by the Calgary School Board in order to give him the opportunity of taking a special course in dramatics at Northwestern University, Chicago. His position on the staff faculty has been filled by Miss J. W. Maxwell, B.A., a specialist in French and Dramatics, and formerly a member of the Western Canada High School staff. While at Central, Mr. Thorlakson worked with a number of the School Clubs, frequently directing the activities of the Dramatic Club which last year had the proud distinction of taking second prize in the City Festival. In former years, when the Read¬ ers’ Club and the Spokes Club were active, he was interested in their progress and organization. Mrs. Arthur, our study-room supervisor for the past four years, resign¬ ed last summer, her place being taken by Miss E. M. Sampson, B.A. of Regina, who, besides being our new librarian and study-room supervisor is taking an active interest in the school life. We wish the best of luck and happiness to those who left us last year— and we extend a hearty welcome to the new members of our staff. NAMES Our school has had some four names and nick-names during its ex¬ istence. When the school was founded in 1908, the name bestowed on it was Central Collegiate Institute, which the students promptly shortened to C. C. I. Another name, the least known and which cannot be properly applied to the school is “Sleepy Hollow.” This appelation was first used in connec¬ tion with the old High School on Seventh Avenue East by some imaginative 16 THE ANALECTA NAMES —Continued. student, and when quarters were moved to this building the name more or less came too. As Central Collegiate Institute we have been known for many years, but in one of the acts of the last government a definition of a High School was given and not that of a Collegiate Institute. Therefore, rather than leave us nameless, the officials gave us the name Central High School. It was changed on the books, yes, but in the hearts of the students, no. And although it may not be recognized as official, the name we like best and will remember longest is Central Collegiate Institute”. OUR LIBRARY One of the interesting corners in our rambling old school is the library in the spare-room. There has been a library here for several years but little interest was taken in it until the options in the new curriculum came into effect. The library, started many years ago, now contains nearly eight hun¬ dred books. About sixty of these are on loan from the Public Library. Dr. A. M. Scott, former superintendent of High Schools, has contributed many of the books, while members of the school staff are responsible for some of the others. Besides a number of books bearing on Social Studies, fifty new ones were obtained this season. Several hundred more books will not only be welcomed but really needed in the future. All subjects are at least partially covered by our library. At present it serves the school fairly well, but with the expansion of our new curriculum the library must keep pace. Although the new books this year enable the library to take care of present demands, the growing requirements will make development necessary. Mr. Calhoun of the Calgary Public Library once stated, We have a great number of books, but a library is never complete or entirely up to date.” He explained that the clipping files are the only means of keeping a library a completely modern information bureau. It is with this interesting and useful work that Miss Sampson occupies her spare time. Her clipping file, growing rapidly, supplies the students with material on even the most recent current events. Orals, too, may be easily prepared from information gleaned from Miss Sampson’s files. We said that the library is interesting. Miss Sampson informs us that it not only interests us but most of the school as well. She pointed out that although many of the students read only the blood and thunder” fic¬ tion, the great majority are genuinely interested in the entire library. The Current Events Club is constantly consulting her files, while ardent debaters can usually be satisfied as well. Questions outside the school realm can easily be answered from the various useful books on hand. Miss Sampson claims that a library such as ours makes the students think for themselves. She digs out all the clippings and books on the matter in question and then makes the student develop his own material. Miss Sampson does not believe in “spoon-feeding,” but is always willing to co-oper¬ ate. She is very rapidly becoming a favorite at Central, and is ready to as¬ sist in our problems, and to share in our recreations. We are glad that our library is in such competent hands.

Bennett Scholarship, On Friday, November 15th, 1937, the senior students of C.C.I. gathered in the Assembly Hall to witness the presentation of scholarships by the Rt. Hon. R. B. Bennett. This year, Central students won ten scholarships. To 1 those who have brought this honor to our school, we extend our heartiest congratulations. And to Mr. Bennett, who both in this and previous years has given the time to present the scholarships, we give our heartfelt thanks and appreciation. VALEDICTCCY Another year has quietly slipped by. This time it has brought to many of us the fulfilment of another objective in life—graduation. Once again we, the graduating class, will eagerly yet lingeringly leave the cherished halls and class-rooms of C.C.I., leaving more echoes and memories to mingle with those who have in the years past, walked, talked and laughed in these halls. We, as they, stand once more at the threshold of a new and vast stage of life. The days and years at school have rushed by quickly. Like a breath of wind they have passed away never to pass by again. The long procession of teachers and school-years stand as a maze of intricate weaving--each woven in and bound up with each other. And our future years will always with unbreakable ties be bound with our school-years. Everything with which we have come into contact has had an influence on us, has become part of us. School has stamped an indelible mark on our characters. We have caught a glimpse of the infinite treasures of knowledge; and the little we have learned has stirred our deepest desires and thirst for more know¬ ledge. Our outlook on life has been enlarged and broadened. We can now see and appreciate a glimpse of the truly great and beautiful things of life. Not only our teachers but even fellow-classmates have wrought and temp¬ ered our lives. Gradually, imperceptibly have they moulded us—not the ex¬ terior and outward appearance—but inwardly and deep down as far as the soul. The vessel of life lies ready to take us on her swift current. Some¬ times it will be smooth; at others rocky and gloomy. School has given us the strong and lasting foundation. On that we must build the structure. Life is short—we hear these words, yet cannot grasp their meaning. The sun goes down, the moon comes up, unheeding man’s impatient cry, ‘‘Whither so fast?” Though we cannot hope to know and achieve all we desire—some noble work may be done in the short span of our lives. And whatever true and noble work we accomplish will be built on this foundation of the lessons we have learned and the influence we have received in school. To you who follow in our ranks we leave the happy hours, pleasant companionship, exciting sports, and the infinite treasures of knowledge to discover. There is work behind treasure gained. But there is joy in achievement! —Bessie Sidorskv. GRADUATES THE ANALECTA 21 BOB WAYNE—Got his start. in Sudbury, Ontario, in 1920. Spends most of his time joking with MacDonald.

CLARE NOREEN AC itors: ICE cPHERS THE ANALECTA 39 “HEIL HITLER” (First Serious—Comp. 4.) “Heil Hitler”, and a thousand or more brown-shirted robots with arms uplifted jerk past a brown-shirted master with arm raised in a similar stormy benediction. Beware Mr. Hitler or some unsuspecting bird will build its house upon such an inviting and convenient perch. Who wouldn’t cling to some new Caesar, in whose vicinity your body is safe and well fed; providing the great and almighty Caesar doesn’t collapse under the strain? Certainly why not get all you can lay your hands on, providing all you have to do is hold up your own grasping hand beside his and shout, ‘‘Heil Hitler,” till you are half hoarse. It’s so easy—you shout one thing and think another. But do not think out loud; even your private office is not safe. Say one thing against the Feuher and—Poof—your little private bubble is gone. Why is Hitler so loved by his people? Ah! but is he loved? There is the key to the whole true situation, No sooner is that question raised than the true Hitler can be seen clear and outstanding; a mere usurper of power. One of the “Gimmee Gang.” Hitler marches his stormy troops up and down the country. He, himself, speaks over the air in language unprint¬ able. He sends young men to concentration camps. He drives out the Jews and supports no one of non-Aryan blood. He fills the press with propaganda, the air with filth, and religion with untruths, all so that his people will learn that he is the true leader and rebuilder of their empire. It is not even “God and Hitler” in Germany it is “Hitler and God.” He speaks not of what the people want. It is what I say; 7—9—7. To the German child Hitler must be the “One and Only”; and no one dare dispute it. Before they are old enough to realize it the young children are devoted Nazis and supporters of Hitler. They shout “Heil Hitler” and believe that the Feuher was sent by God to make Germany a great nation and world power. That, claims Hitler, can be obtained only by war. But do the Germans, in the innermost confines of their heart, want war? I think not; but their children will if this training continues. Present Germany does not love Hitler, but future Germany will. Hitler does not even represent a small majority of the present Germany. But, you know, a little force, a little show and the world is yours for the taking. Hitler knows that and he applies it in large doses, taken consecutively all day, all month, all year. Propaganda, my dear sir, will do anything. Simply apply it lavishly and hair will grow on anything and cover its true surface. Hitler should try it internally—the hair might filter his ideas; but then, what use is clear usurpary without something to give it an agreeable color and taste? My dear Hitler you are a ahost, a clot of undigested mustard in the congested intestinal organisms of Europe. Soon you will disappear. —Albert Haynes. HUMAN PSYCHOLOGY (First Humorous—Comp. 4) “Hey sugar!” called Joe as he burst into the house with an overwhelm¬ ing enthusiasm, “How about taking in a show to-night? Didn’t you want to see the ‘Parisian Heart Throb’ or something? It’s a swell night for a show. 40 THE ANAL ECTA HUMAN PSYCHOLOGY—Continued. “Ye-es, I did want to see it, but why so enthusiastic. You know as well as I do Joe Lacy that a picture show with you is just a stall for some¬ thing else. What are the boys doing now?” she conclud ed with scorn. “Why honey, I am surprised, he retorted with an injured innocence. “Can’t a man take his beautiful wife to a picture show without her growing suspicious. I only thought you would like a good time. It’s a long time since we did the town together.” “Well, I’m not sure. No. I have to finish this shirt. We stay home to-night.” “Oh Gee! Listen Anne. You run and get dressed and I will do up these dishes.” “No. We are staying home to-night,’’ said Anne with a finality that convinced Joe she was right. Poor Joe, he felt desperate. He had told the boys he would let them know if he could get out for that shooting trip. Here it was Thursday even¬ ing and the little Help-mate was sour. Not a chance in the world of her consenting to a week-end’s hunting. Something must be done. Joe sat down to think. The whir of wings brought him out of his trance. “Geese!” cried Joe, and looked skyward, but no, it was the canary ruffling its feathers. He went into the den, disgusted. The sight of a mounted duck brought new hope. He lay down and picked a book off the table. “Human Psychology Self-Taught.” He read one chapter and rose like a rocket from his chair. The answer at last. Old Joe Lacy was smart. He would be in that duck blind when the first flight came over. Yes sir. In fact he was so sure of himself that he got out his gun and cleaned it, filled his vest with shells and gathered the rest of his equipment into a pile. He went into the kitchen, made the tea, cut the cake and served ‘tea for two’ in front of the fireplace. Of course Anne was pleased. She was softening all ready—he could tell by the look in her face. Human Psychology was a great thing. Full of hope was Joe as he climbed into bed. He was so excited he couldn’t sleep. Maybe some day he would write a book on Human Psychol¬ ogy himself. On the way to work next morning, he stopped at the florist’s and ordered flowers; roses; the best in the shop. This Psychology was tops. It couldn’t fail. At four o’clock he was on his way home. He stopped at the butcher’s for oysters. Ah! fried oysters; Anne simply couldn’t resist them. Like a gay spring wind he blew into the house. “Oh. Anne,” he shout¬ ed, “Surprise!” Oh, Joe! Such beautiful flowers you sent up. So thoughtful of you on our wedding anniversary.” Wedding anniversary! Was this their wed¬ ding anniversary? Well, all the better. Good old Psychology wins again. “Yes, honey,’’ continued Joe, “and that’s not all. Nov you run and get dressed for an evening out, while I cook supper. No questions now, just do as I say. For a change,” he added unnecessarily, and nearly spoiled the whole show. What an evening it was. The best show in town. The. best eats afterwards, and old Joe Lacy made many a youngster look twice as he swung a wicked hop to the hottest band in town. Anne was in another world. She was up in the clouds. Now was a swell time for that question. “Anne,” he began and faltered. Then gaining courage, he continued. Wouldn’t it be nice— I mean wouldn’t you like to visit Aunt Mar—” THE ANALECTA 41 HUMAN PSYCHOLOGY—Continued. “Joe,” Anne interrupted him, “I have a confession to make. It was terribly selfish of me, but now I have changed my mind. I was going to visit Aunt Mary and leave you on your own for a whole long week-end. But now I feel like crying when I see how selfish it was. I will never leave you alone.” Joe groaned. “Fly on pretty geese,” he thought. He sat down and gripped the edge of his chair lest he should grow violent with himself. “Psy¬ chology—nuts.” —Murray Hall. YESTERDAY AND TOMORROW (First Serious—Comp. 3) Larry Craig heaved a heavy sigh and buried his face on his arms in hopeless despair as he turned and twisted with pain in the white sheets of a hospital bed. He had been tricked by fate. Yesterday—only yesterday he had been young and filled with ardent ambitions. He had stood, tanned by the sun and wind of the prairies, under the sunny blue sky, and surveyed the peaceful countryside where plenty dwelt. He had been seventeen then and vastly contented with his simple life of humble achievement around the farm. Then the promising spring had blossomed and ripened into the warm fulfillment of August—early August. He had stood on the eve of August the third, on a hill behind the house to watch the sun sink down behind the mountains. Black clouds gathered on the horizon and the fiery sun sank ominously in a blaze of flame down into the haze, into fathomless obscurity. The whole atmosphere had seemed charged with a horrible suspense, and he had not been able to find the old contentment. Those mountains over yonder were not the sovereigns of majesty now, as before. They rose dark and sinister, towering threateningly on the verge of men’s existence. The snow-caps, once so lovely, seemed only a super¬ ficial glitter, symbolic of greed and selfishness. Impulsively he had turned his face from the awful spectacle and shut his eyes to these dark portents of Nature. A wind rose in the night and swept away with one cruel blast his peace of yore. He slept fit fully that night but he did not rest for many a year to come; for, on the next day came disastrous news of world war. In the ardour of his youth, his patriotism flared brightly, and amid band-playing and flag-waving he parted from family and friends as did so many others. The scene had changed drastically. As if in a terrible dream he found himself in the midst of death and disaster—cf war in all its horror and stark agony. For four seemingly endless years, he had lived in daily fear of extinction, under gun-fire and cold drenching rains, intermingled with long fatiguing tramps and hours of interminable waiting in the dirt and filth of the trenches. That era of noise and tumult had forever shattered his memories of the peaceful yesterday and his illusions for the tomorrow that might never come. Everywhere man-wrought desolation and darkness was evident. 42 THE ANALECTA YESTERDAY AND TOMORROW—Continued. Trees were shelled and burned to ashes, villages destroyed, the once verdant earth bestrewn with shells and the dead bodies of men. The red blood of war had left sanguinary stains on the earth’s surface. Then like the calm that follows a storm at sea, came peace in the wake of war. A whole world fraught with chaos and disaster, had breathed a sigh of relief, and rested. But to Larry’s heart had come no peace. Wounded in body and broken in spirit he had been taken to a hospital in the dismal north of France to recover as best he could. Why should he recover? What earthly reason was there to go on living now? War had snatched from him his dreams and his hope; had made of his forgotten past an aching void which wordly lust could never satisfy, and of his future a veritable graveyard of buried hopes. Why then should he live? Literally war was over, but the discord of that struggle had entered Larry’s mind and filled it to the exclusion of all that once had been. With an aching heart he longed for some escape from his warring soul; for some release from the darkness of his mind. Day after day he had lain in an agon¬ izing stupor of blankness and longed for true peace. By and by he became physically restored and was released. He returned for a short time to his native grain-fields, but all was meaningless. He vaguely recognized his family, but he still moved as if in a dream. The familiar scenes of the quiet, country did not pacify him. All was unreal, incomprehensible to him and in some indistinct manner he felt that beyond the sea he had left that which he sought to regain. At length the inactivity of mind became so bothersome to him that he re-sought the scene of his torture. It was spring in the world once again when he finally arrived in France. The long winter of war and darkness was over, but the spring of peace had not yet obliterated the terrible scars. How different it appeared from the other time he had landed! Before, it had not been very long since he had known peace in his heart, but now he viewed the scene with the eyes of a man to whom war has given only mental anguish, but has taken from him the vitality and truth of his former life. As he travelled from city to city he thought to himself whether he would ever find the peace he once knew. The peace of humble peasants, going about their daily tasks failed to awaken him; the glories of Nature likewise failed to revive him. The hum of industry, the gay life of the city alike found his soul dormant in repose. He even visited the castles of kings in a vain attempt to find the peace declar¬ ed but not capable of being realized. When he beheld the meaningless pomp and ceremony of kings, he at least became aware of the memories which had so long slumbered within his mind. Anon, he left the palaces, and his weary steps took him to the peace¬ ful sanctity of “No Man’s Land.’’ Here he ventured forth one day to the saddest of all war’s souvenirs. He found himself alone amongst endless rows of white crosses, and poppies blooming in riotous display. Here among the good soldiers who had given their lives for peace, he found release from the hard fetters of war. Suddenly there drifted before his vision a picture of the haughty courts he had lately visited and then he remembered. In a flash the spell which darkness had cast over him was forever lifted. Into his mind came these words which he had heard in that other time, so long ago: THE ANALECTA 43 YESTERDAY AND TOMORROW Continued. “War is not made by the kings of earth. War comes of envious thought and bitter word. War comes of selfish mind and boastful speech. War comes of thoughtlessness and unkind deed. Let your thoughts rise higher than yourselves. Embrace, if only for a moment, all mankind Struggling, each one, toward a common goal. If one man’s ways be different from another’s It needs not guileful thoughts nor petty, scandalous tongues, Only understanding.’’ Thus did Larry find peace. As the lovely memories of yesterday came back to enrich his life after the nightmare of war, so he looked hopefully, expectantly to tomorrow in which he might live courageously, to cherish for his fellow-men the great peace he had lost yesterday, and would in reality find tomorrow. —Ruth Crawford. A LETTER FROM A PROMISING SON (First Humorous—Comp. 3.) Juniper Junction. Dear Mom, On account uv me bein’ writin’ this letter, you’ll know I got out to Uncle Dan’s ranch oKay. I shore like (it out here Mom ' n Iv’e bin havin’ the niftiest time, bein’ not so nifty for Slim, the foreman, on account uv he says I ask too many questions fer a button my size. But I says when you wuz a half full-growed man of ten I bet you asted jist as many, but he jist gave me uh kind of dirty scowl. You know the kind I mean, Mom. So he sez let’s see if you can do anything useful on account uv me pesterin’ him. So he took me out to milk one of the cows, but I guess its tap was turned off because I set the pail he gave me under it for fifteen minutes ’n when I came back there was’nt a speck uv milk in it. So I guess sumpn’ must uv bin the matter with its milkin’ apparatus, or whatever that big word is. Or maybe she was too busy chooin ' gum. It sure must cost a lot to keep Uncle Dan’s herd in gum. But the other day I sure had the excitin’ time. I wuz ridin’ “Wildfire” wich in case yuh don’t know, Maw, is the fastest horse they have, on account uv Slim tellin’ me ’n Butch, winkin’ at Butch. So I guess the wink was on account uv they thought if I knew his speed I’d be afraid. But not me, the Fearless Terror. Slim calls me Pete Knight, Jr. on account uv me only failin’ off Wildfire three times in one ride. Wildfire certainly is a fast horse. If yuh sock him with a switch ’n kick him good ’n hard n make kind uv a cluc- in’ sound, You know Mom like an old hen, he’ll trot off across the prairie jist like the horses in the Western Shows, only different on account uv the speed. He goes as fast as that old cow wich used to chase us. But Mom when we got to the water-hole, the ornery cuss (that’s a new word I learn’t from Slim) put his head down to drink, ’n the next thing I knew Ma, I wuz climbin’ out o’ muddy water, but the mud didn’t taste so bad, Ma. If yuh don’t believe me yuh can try it sometime. Then I coudn’t get on Wildfire again. So guess whut I did. When he put his head down again to drink, I crawled up her neck (nearly slippin’ off, by the way). We lit out (that is also a new word 44 THE ANALECTA A LETTER FROM A PROMISING SON— Continued. which meanin’ you probly don’t now) for the house. Maw, if you ever want some good excitement you try ridin’ a horse with your overalls all wet ' n muddy, ’n when you bounce up ’n down a’hangin’ on the mane yuh nearly pull it out on account uv you not feelin’ so good anyhow, with half the mud from the water-hole in my ears ' n around my close. So when I got to the house, Slim laffed, ’n said “Look at the city slick¬ er now!’’ meanin’ which? n me standin’ there agettin’ redder ’n redder on account uv the whole crew wuz there laffin’ (Crew meanin’ the guys wich work there) But I jist walked up to the house with my head up in the air an account uv me gettin’ more mud in my mouth if I didn’t. But Mom, in about a week they forgot about it n Mom guess what? Slim’s gonna give me a real pair of chaps (wich you pernounce “shaps ”.) ’N this is why. Slim tole me to go chase a calf in the corral, wich got loose, so on ac¬ count uv me not bein’ able tuh see in the dark, I gave it a tap on the north end with a stick I had. N it gave a squeal, which certainly never belonged to a calf, ’n lit out fer the wide open spaces, but when it was jumpin’ through the corral it hit one uv the poles n died, breakin’ its neck. But Maw, its funny, it wuzn’t a calf at all but a coyote. (Slim showed me how tuh spell it.) Jist then Slim ’n the boys came, n when they saw it, they congradjulatud me. But when they asked me how I kilt it, I jist didn’t say ennythin’. They mistook my not talkin’ fer bein’ shy, so I jist let ’em think I kilt it. I didn’t really tell a fib, did I Maw? On account uv me not affirmin ' the statement. Yuh certainly can’t blame a fellow fer sumpin’ he didn’t do, which was tellin ' ’em I didn’t kill it. So Slim is gonna give me the chaps before I go home ’n they’re gonna offishully give ’em to me with a campfire ’n all. So I guess I ' m havin ' an excitin’ time and Slim says when I get older I can come n live all the time on the ranch like a real cowboy, wich is pretty good, eh? Wait’ll I tell the gang at home about me killin ' a coyote, with the chaps kind uv circumstanshul evidence. So long, Ma, on account uv Slim says I have to hit the hay now wich is a good expreshun fer me tuh use, he said. Your lovin’ son wich is sleepy, Jimmy (Button) Rustler. P.S. The “Button” is for what yuh can call me like Slim does if yuh want to. Maw. —Kathleen Ferguson. OLD ANNA (First Serious—Comp. 2.) The train pulled out and left me, rather desolate, standing on the platform of a small country village. After some inquiries from small villagers, I made my way to the thatched cottage of Old Anna Stentebjerg. I was ad¬ mitted and soon made myself known to a sweet old lady, with white hair and a once beautiful— now wrinkled face, whom I immediately knew to be Nana’s THE ANALECTA 45 OLD ANNA —Continued. mother. After the usual courtesies, it did not take long for Anna to start talking of her children and her life. “Old Anna! Yes that is what they call me now. They didn’t aL ways call me that, not when the children were here. But they’re all gone now. Tania is in France, Michael is goodness knows where, and Nana, dear sweet Nana, is in that cold country, where you came from. The rest of the family have gone to a better land. Peter, he was the most handsome, went first, then Karen the youngest, went a year later. Then Leonie and John died of diphtheria. Nora, just about a year ago, my husband Hans, left me alone here in this cottage which is all that is left of our once—big estate. When we were young, we had a fine big farm not far from here. That is where all the children were born. Even when they were small, I could tell what they would be like. Michael was always looking for adventures, Tania thought only of herself but Nana! Nana was the good fairy of the family. She would do anything for anybody that asked, and her share of good things always found their way into the hands of someone less fortunate. (As her mother said this, I thought of how Nana was still giving her share to others.) They all tried to be good but they never realized their faults. Hans was a good husband and father even though he was stern in nature. He never made me go out in the fields and work and we always had two servants to help. We loved each other and now that I know that Nana is happy, my only wish is to join him as soon as possible. I’m too old to be of any more use in this world. But tell me of Nana.” I told her of Nana’s pride in her four children and of how intelligent, well-behaved and handsome they all were. I told her of a large, beautiful house in a large city, while in my mind ' s eye I could see a small cottage, bad¬ ly in need of repairs, in a coal-mining town. What I did ' nt tell her, was that Nana took in laundry and scrubbed and toiled all day over steaming tubs because of a worthless drunkard who was her husband. Nor did I tell her that Nana had hair just as white as her own and that Nana was no longer beautiful. Old Anna asked me many questions that day and I answered my ques¬ tions by thinking of my more happily married friends and their homes. I told her of the kindly man who was Nana’s husband while I remembered large bruises that Nana often showed to me. The thing that delighted old Anna mostly was the names of the children. She would repeat them over and over again, “Hans—Peter—Anna—Karen.” Then she would say them again as she rocked in her old chair with her hands folded in her lap. When I left the village, I left a happy old lady visualizing a beautiful daughter with a loving husband and childr en, living in a luxurious home. Per¬ haps I did wrong in letting her believe these things, but when she died not long after, her last words were: “1 am not sorry to die, because I know that Nana is happy.” —Elinor Jensen. WRITTEN IN THE STARS (First Humorous—Comp. 2.) Old Mrs. Gray was an ardent student of both astronomy and astrology. Her grand-daughter, Elspeth, was inclined to be amused at her ideas, and often poked sly fun at her. Mrs. Gray believed that the stars were trust- 46 THE ANALECTA WRITTEN IN THE STARS— Continued. worthy and continuously predicted the coming events from the monthly astrology magazine which was deemed absolutely reliable by workers in that field of study. The old lady had no one but Elspeth to care for or to care for her, and her love for the young girl was no small emotion. Elspeth was as fond of swimming as her grandmother was of star study, and devoted much time to revelling in the delights of the huge out-door pool in the village of Westpoint. The girl awakened one sunny morning to an underlying sense of fore¬ boding. However, with the cheerful impatience of youth, she pushed the feeling from her and prepared herself for the morning’s work. She greeted Mrs. Gray with her customary demonstration of affection before she became aware of the agitation of that good lady. “Why, what is the matter?” “Nothing, child, only—only—” “Only what, Grandmother?” Mrs. Gray seemed about to make light of her disturbance, but changed her mind, and spoke in a low earnest voice. “The star forecast says for anyone born under your star to beware of water to-day.” Elspeth stared at her in surprise. “Why, Grandmother, you foolish creature! As if anything could happen to me in the water—Why I’ve known how to swim since I was a baby!” “Elspeth, I don’t want you to go swimming this evening.’.’ The girl was disturbed and tried to soothe Mrs. Gray’s fears by telling her what precautions she would take. That evening, at seven o’clock, Martha and Joan called for Elspeth to go swimming. Before long, they had covered the two miles to the pool, where they speedily prepared themselves for the plunge. Martha had her pet duck with her and it led the girls a merry chase in the water. Elspeth dived repeatedly for the duck but she was not able to match its speed and agility. Before long Joan suggested that they go to Joe’s Lunch Wagon for hot coffee. Elspeth resolved to remain behind to practise a new stunt dive, and resisted the entreaties of the other girls. She would let no one watch her but the little brown duck.When she was alone, Elspeth began to dive. A compelling figure of confidence and poise, she flashed through the air to the embrace of the dark water below. Over and over she repeated it, revelling in the silence and gloom of her surroundings. Not until a loud clap of thunder warned her of an oncoming storm did Elspeth remember that she must walk two miles to reach home. The duck, feeling its freedom, declined to let her catch it as it scooted down the length of the pool to evade her. Elspeth dressed hurriedly, as the rain began to fall in angry torrents. She rushed through the wet trees to a neighboring house, hoping that her grandmother would not worry, for she could not send her a message. Meanwhile Mrs. Gray was worrying. The rain continued. The night was becoming cool. Elspeth waited in the shelter of the house for over an ho ur before she decided that she would go home regardless of the storm. She was met at the 47 THE ANALECTA WRITTEN IN THE STARS— Continued. door by her anxious grandmother, who feared that the girl had had an acci¬ dent at the pool, when she did not arrive earlier. “Are you hurt? Where have you been? Why did you come home alone?’’ “One question at a time!” laughed Elspeth, suppressing a sneeze. I am not hurt, unless ycu call a severe drenching being hurt. 1 have been at Brown’s house for shelter, and the girls left the pool early to buy coffee. Now, you dear old fuss-box, what about your forecast? The day is almost over and nothing has happened yet.” Just then she shivered, and a sneeze escaped her. Mrs. Gray’s wise blue eyes twinkled as she drew the girl close to her for an instant. “My goodness, Elspeth child, what a cold you have. But, remember— it was written in the stars!” —Arlene Price. MY DEN OF DREAMS (First Serious) There’s a small, modest room in our house I call it my very own; I can hear the rain-drops’ soft patter. The weird melancholy wind’s moan. It doesn’t boast any rich lounges, Nor carpets of Persian design; But no matter how dingy it may seem, At least I can call it all mine. 1 go to it, when I am heart-sore. And when I’m in need of prayer; It seems when my soul’s heavy laden, I’m nearer the Master when there. I talk to him just like a brother I tell him my troubles and woe, I pray—and I tell him I’m sorry. My troubles are gone as I go. No matter where e’er I may travel, No matter how distant it seems; I’ll always remember that haven of peace I call it, my den of dreams. —Bruce Wright. ANALECTA—What it Means. It comes from the Greek words “ana”, and, and “legein”, gather. It means a collection of literary fragments. Fragments that in future years will bring us a nostalgic rush of memories. Memories of long-forgotten acquain¬ tances; memories of the day the purple and golden avalanche won; memories of the time your hydrogen generator blew the south-west corner of the lab up—memories haunting, poignant. 8 THE ANALECTA THE HILL (Third Serious) Out on the lonely prairie It standeth night and day, It is the home of the echoes. And there the swallows play. Many the footsteps that travelled, Many the cries of delight, As children and weary grown-up Climb to behold the sight. Many the scene it has looked on, Many the things it beholds, Sunrise, sunset and the evening star, But small change the Future holds. The height of the toddler’s ambition The idler’s beloved nest; People go here weary, Seeking and finding rest. Here the fairy bells tinkle, Here the wild flowers grow; Over its summit day after day The warm Chinook winds blow. It stands like a page of history, The “Prairie Outpost’’ still; A landmark to the traveller. But just an old, brown hill. —Ruth Crawford C. C. I. (First) There’s no compliment so pleasing, There’s no honor quite so high. Than to hear a person saying, She’s a girl from C. C. I. For there is no other “colleege,” That stands out, from other schools. Just the same as our dear Central, All the others—she sure cools. Perhaps it is her colors So royal, with their gold! Perhap s it is that reverence Is shown, to schools so old! And then it might be; just the folks That go to her each day They show such patriotic love. In the good old Central way. Oh no, these aren’t the reasons Though these have gained her fame It’s just the way she carries on And so well—Plays the Game! Lorraine McPhail. THE ANALECTA 49 VALENTINE (Second Serious) I found it in the attic, in an old trunk, tucked away, A valentine, of years ago, speaking of yesterday. The edges of lace were brown and worn, And a cupid’s hand was slightly torn, The painted scroll was faded from age, And tear drops spotted the lovely page. Before my eyes, a century slipped silently away, And as I read the touching words, a vision seemed to play— I saw a man, so tall and fine, with love-light in his eyes Tendering this token of love, and offering Paradise. “I love you” read the slender script—“I love you very much,” And there before my very eyes, shy fingers seemed to touch. The verse went on, now fine and clear Please tell me that you love me dear!” While a shadowy phantom seemed to move, in the likeness of a kiss Permeating all the air, with a wonderful, heavenly bliss, For he had found his answer in the smile on her sweet face, And now, two shadows melted into a dim and sweet embrace. I found it in the attic, in an old trunk, tucked away, A valentine of years ago, speaking of yesterday. It showed the ravages of time; but its soul was clear and bright, Filled with undying radiance, it was a wonderful sight: Although its edges were worn, although its bows were frayed— A wistful perfume lingered and a hint of passion stayed. —Elva Jean Clark. A DEED THAT WAS—AND STILL IS (Second Humorous) I’m on fire with the desire to write a verse But I start out bad and keep getting worse. I can’t find a theme that will possibly do, The right sort of topics are all too few. I tax my poor brain till from strain I’m near dead But nary a motif pops into my head. I don’t want to write of books or plays, Or lazy, hazy, summer days; Flowers and fishes will never do, Nor yet the battle of Waterloo. There’s no inspiration in horses or cows. Or pigs or chickens, or binders or ploughs. Everyone knows, so why should I tell How the great Napoleon Bonaparte fell? Columbus, I learned, sailed the ocean blue And discovered a land, but that’s nothing new. So you see I’m a washout, it’s got me stuck; As a poet I’m punk, so I give it up. —Betty Watson. 50 THE ANALECTA THE BLACK-HAIRED RUNAWAY (Third Humorous) The stars were out and shining bright. The moon was giving out its light, When down the lane a young man stepped As everything in this world slept. He turned in at a garden gate. He called out loud the girl’s name—Kate; No answer came so in he went Brushing by the standing bent. There up the path ahead of him There stood a figure—oh so slim; He knew it to be the one that he Was longing and longing and longing to see. So up the path he sped like heck, His arm he put around her neck, “My dear,’’ he sighed, ”I’ve hunted for you. So let us clear out—just us two.’’ Then down the pathway, side by side The two young things began to stride, He opened the gate to let her through “Go on,” he said, “I’ll follow you.” Once out the gate he paused to stare On the slick blackness of her hair And then he heaved a heavy sigh Said under his breath “My sweetie pie.’’ Th e one was the son of a farmer Wright, Who had been searching all the night. And the other one with the slick black hair Was his favorite pony—a little black mare. ■—Harold Beare. TIN CAN HISTORY There was a time in days of yore When tin was quite the thing. And when a knight rode off to war, A shoehorn placed him in The full dress suit of bright armor, Of which the minstrels sing. But modern times have changed all that. No longer ' tis the case. The metal that made suit and hat. Now holds a higher place In every human habitat With food to suit each taste. -Alton Ryan.

Although very light for his position, he played very well in the Crescent game. THE ANALECTA 85 SENIOR RUGBY The Central Senior Rugby team, although not quite as strong as it has been in other years, made a good showing. The team got away to a slow start, and did not reach the peak of its form until well on in the season. This was due to the inexperience of some of the players, seven of whom were playing their first year in organized rugby. Bob Harrison, who coached the team very capably, was handicapped by the loss of a large number of last year’s players. It took some time to mould the team into shape, as only four members had had previous senior experience, but in the Crescent game, they upheld the high standard of previous Central teams. Next year we look for an even better team, as some eleven players will be returning. Western 26 — Central 1 Central seemed very weak in its first start of the 1937 season, when the senior team absorbed a 26-1 drubbing at the hands of Western Canada. Western took the lead early in the first quarter when they scored a touch. On the last play of the quarter, Western added three more points to their total when they kicked a field-goal, after a previous attempt had been blocked by Central. In the second quarter, Neal raced 27 yards to the Western 21 yard line. After an exchange of kicks. Central broke into the score column, when Neal kicked over the goal-line and the Western back was brought down by a hoard of Central tacklers. Hu. Harries got credit for the rouge. Central began another threat when a Neal to S. Fairbairn forward pass clicked for 24 yards. Western again took command and scored two more touches before the half-time rest period came. The score at half-time was Western 20, Central 1. In the third quarter there was no score, but Central made two nice gains when Neal passed to Davis for 25 yards and when Neal broke into the clear to make 30 yards. In the fourth period, Central again threatened as D. Fairbairn ran back a Western kick 20 yards, and on the next play made 43 yards through the line. The charge was stopped at Western’s 6 yard line. Neal pegged a 21 yard pass later to S. Fairbairn, but Central was unable to follow up this advantage and lost possession. Western made 85 yards on three successive plays to score another touch. The final score was Western 26, Central 1. Crescents 7 — Central 0 This game was one of the best ever seen in the High School League. The Central team showed great improvement over its previous game. In the first quarter, Central had by far the best of the play and several scoring chances were narrowly missed. The quarter ended with no score, and Central still pressing. The second period was also scoreless. A Central kick was blocked but the lost territory was soon regained when Davis re¬ covered a fumble from a Crescent backfielder who had dropped one of Neal’s long kicks. A field-goal attempted from the Crescent’s 30 yard line failed. The half ended with no score and with Central having a decided edge on the Crescent team. In the third quarter, Crescent started a charge down the field by intercepting a pass, but were stopped as Central recovered a fumble. A Crescent forward pass paved the way for the first score of the game as Crescent scored a converted touchdown. The quarter ended with play in midfield. In the last quarter, the teams battled cn even terms with Bateman running back kicks to advantage. The final Crescent score came as the result of a 25 yard Central penalty after which Crescent kicked 86 THE ANALECTA SENIOR RUGBY—Continued. to the deadline for a singleton. The game ended with the score 7 to 0 in Crescent’s favor. The loss definitely put Central out of the play-offs, but the team played a very fine game. We can point with pride to our luckless Central team; they had courage, spirit and fight. THE GORDON EMERY MEMORIAL CUP The Gordon Emery Memorial Cup, donated by the Kappa Zeta Beta Sorority, was awarded to Stan. Fairbairn. Stan, will be the second player to have his name engraved on the Cup, which is awarded annually to the most valuable player on the Senior Rugby team. The Selection Committee made a wise choice although there were several outstanding stars on the squad. This year Stan, made the big jump from Junior to Senior ranks. Last year he was the star of the Junior team and again this season showed himself to be an outstanding player. His blocking was superb, his tackling was deadly, and his pass receiving was a feature of every game. But these were not the most important factors in the cup award. In every game, and in every practice, Stan., with his fighting, never-say-die spirit, kept the morale of the whole team up to a high standard. Whenever a good play was made he shouted words of praise; and whenever a mistake was made, or whenever the breaks went against the team, he shouted words of encouragement. He was a real sport. And so, to Stan. Fairbairn, we offer our heartiest congratulations, and wishes for an even more successful season next year, when he will again be eligible for the Gordon Emery Memorial Cup. SENIOR HOCKEY This year the Senior Hockey team met with only moderate success. The league schedule, as it has been in the last few years, was divided into two parts. In the first part of the schedule, the team lost two games, tied one and won another. Central-was defeated by Western in the first game and then showed a reversal of form to tie Crescent. St. Mary’s won a heart¬ breaking game in Central’s third start. The Seniors scored their only win bv defeating Commercial. In the second round of league play, the Central team tied one game and lost two, to finish out of the play-offs. The team extends its heartiest thanks to Wilby Lenox, who spent much time coaching the team. The line-up of the team:— Goal—Art Davis, Jim Clark. Defence—Hu. Harries, Clarence Bell, Al. Neal, Bill Werth, Bob Nies. Forwards—Ken. Malin, Bob Bateman, Stan. Fairbairn, Bill Haun, Richard Swann, Dawn Fairbairn, Pete Thomas, Ted Haney, Reg. Mclnnes, Joe Dutton. JUNIOR HOCKEY Central Juniors were not able to hit their winning stride all season, and finished at the bottom of the league. The boys, however, played some good games and with a few breaks might have come out as- winners. They scored THE ANALECTA 87 JUNIOR HOCKEY—Continued. one upset when they tied the ultimate league champions and just came within an ace of beating them. The Junior players received some valuable training which will, no doubt, add to the strength of the Seniors next year. Eric Jensen handled coaching duties very well. The line-up of the team:— Goal—Tommy Poapst. Defence—Gordon Sellars, Jack Martin, Art Webb, Barry Newport, Horne. Forwards—Ross Logan, Cam. McDougall, Bruce Collins, Bob Robert¬ son, Mac MacKenzie, Ian Stuart, Jack McBeth, George Mitchell, Ian Horton. BOYS’ TRACK AND FIELD In the Annual Interscholastic Track Meet, held at the end of May, 1937, Central’s track team gave the best performance that it has given in some years, finishing in second place, behind Crescent and Western, who were tied for first. The boys from Central collected a total of 46 points which is a considerable improvement over the previous year. It might also be noted that there were only three classes instead of four, as in other years. In B class, the Central team scored 11 points. The chief point-getters were Les Libin and Lionel White. Les placed second in the 75 yard dash and fourth in the 660 yard run. Lionel captured second place in the standing broad jump event and fourth place in the 75 yard dash. These two boys teamed up with P. Reid and G. Dunbar to finish second in the relay race. C class boys turned out to be Central ' s best scorers, as they made 19 points. D. Dunbar scored in the running broad jump with a second place and in the 100 yard dash when he finished third. D. Fairbairn captured three third places, one in the running broad jump, another in the 12 pound shot put, and the third in the hop, step, and jump. Bill Mair finished second in the dash. In the relay race, the team rang up the only first place of the day for Central when Egan, Mair, Dunbar and Fairbairn combined to win the event. Fourteen points were collected by the D class team. B. Thirlwell lead the team with 7 points as he scored thirds in the high jump and running broad jump. He finished second in the 100 yard dash in what proved to be the most thrilling race of the day. K. Barr placed third in the 12 pound shot put as did H. Semrau in the 880 yard run. The relay team of Thirlwell, Neal, Bowen and Wales finished second in the relay race, to close the scoring in this class. Central placed third in the two mile team race, in one of the best runnings of this event. The four men who finished for Central were: J. Impey, N. Johnson, D. Dyson and M. Law. Impey ran a fine race to finish seventh, while Johnson nosed out Dyson for ninth place. Dyson finished tenth and Law fifteenth. Central has taken a step in the right direction and will, no doubt, produce a winning team in the near future. Through the medium of the Analecta, the members of the Rugby, Hockey and Track Teams, wish to thank all those who helped make this year’s sports successful. Mr. Brown, the Janitor, had hot water for showers 88 THE ANALECTA BOYS’ TRACK AND FIELD—Continued. when needed. This was a service greatly appreciated by everyone. He gave the players some valuable tips on training matters, and also helped some of the boys along with much needed rub-downs. Mr. Pulleyblank handled all sports ' equipment and showed an interest in all school athletic activities. INTERSCHOLASTIC BADMINTON The first Interscholastic Badminton Tournament was run off on March 19th at the Glencoe Club. Four schools: Rideau, Crescent Heights, Western Canada and Central, entered. Each school was represented by four mixed doubles teams. Those representing Central were: Gerry Cope and Charlie Templeton, Betty Corbett and Reg. Mclnnes, Joan Moore and Gordon Sellar, Ruth Crawford and John Whittaker. The Tournament was run on an elim¬ ination and total point system. Central finished third, with 177 points, behind Western and Rideau. Each Central team survived the first round of play. In the second round, three of the Central teams were eliminated, while the fourth, of Gerry Cope and Charlie Templeton, went on to the semi-finals where they lost to a Western team in a stiff game. The results of the Tournament are very gratifying, and we hope to see Badminton soon take a high place as an interscholastic sport. HOUSE LEAGUE BASKETBALL The Girls’ House League, composed of six teams, which included a total of 45 players, had a very successful year. The Giants and Maroons advanced to the finals for a two game total point series. The Giants won the thrilling series 38 to 36. The girls wish to thank Mr. Churchill for his valuable work in organizing the House League. The teams lined up as follows:— Giants—Marg. Willox, Donna Calder, Ruth Andrews, Florence Assel- stine, Dorothy Maginley, Dorothy Coffin, Grace Mills. Cardinals—Helen Bried, Vera Davies, Evelyn Orr, Mary Anderson, Marion King, Aileen Filteau, Jeanette Crawford. Bronks—Winnie Thompson, Pat Beech, Millie Baines, Lucille Ilot, Betty McRoberts, Jean Weir, Doreen Ray. Maroons—Ella Sande, Gary Tarves, Marg. Jefferson, Marjorie Rhymes, Gladys Boothman, Chris. Willox, Ruth Gurevitch, Kay North. Red Wings—Jean Newcombe, Mary Rhodes, Barbara Tigner, Lois Stabback, Jean Loudfoot, Nora Lundy, Edna Tambling, Pearl Brown. Maple Leafs—Pat Turner, Marg. Anderson, Alice Asselstine, Geraldine Dicken, Florence Chambers, Doris Easton, Mary Newcombe, Betty Harrower. Leading Scorers:—1, Ella Sande 38—2, Marg. Willox 34—3, Lucille Ilot 32—4, Jean Newcombe 30—5, Helen Bried 25—6, Winnie Thompson 23— 7, Pat Turner 22—8, Florence Chambers 21. THE ANALECTA 89 THE GIRLS’ BASKETBALL TEAM Central can be justly proud of its entry in the Girls’ Basketball League. The Senior girls’ team handicapped as usual by lack of adequate floor space, found it almost impossible to secure time for practise. Due to a late start in basketball activity, it was not possible to obtain a coach until after the first game. George Coleman kindly consented to become the coach, and improved the team-play miraculously. The team won only a single game; score C.C.I. 26—Commercial 24. The Central team battled against heavy odds all year, and, despite the lack of practise and support, put up a courageous fight. With the material that was developed in the House League, next year’s team should be out¬ standing. BIOGRAPHIES OF SENIOR BASKETBALL TEAM Helen Bried— Captain of the team. Played forward. An accurate shot. Ruth Andrew— A fast, snappy forward who kept up the spirit of the team. Margaret Willox— Tall centre. An accurate shot and a hard worker. Helen Sloan— A very good guard who excelled at long shots. Chris. Willox— A steady, dependable defen ce player whose guarding was outstanding, Marion King— An exceptionally good guard and a sure shot. Ella Sande— An excellent forward up from Junior ranks. Top scorer on Seniors. Grace Mills— A good player on defence, who did her share of hard work. Winnie Thompson— Good centre and an all round dependable player. Josie Brown— A brilliant forward and fast passer. Pat Turner— Another excellent forward, who made George Coleman— Coached the team. A product of the has developed into a fine coach. We with the team again next year. GIRLS’ TRACK AND FIELD Although the girls did not make as many points as the previous year, they placed second with 27points, ten behind Western Canada. The girls made a fine showing as the rivalry was keen and the competition close. “B” class division gained 8 points for Central. Verna Morgan and Ruth Andrews came second and fourth respectively in the high jump. The relay team of Ridgway, Andras, Maginley, Farr and Snyder placed second; while the shuttle relay team of Watson, Millard, Somerville and McKaskill placed third. good use of every opening. boys’ high school league, who hope that George will be back 90 THE ANALECTA GIRLS’ TRACK AND FIELD—Continued. “C” class gathered 19j4 points, and in so doing won the “C” class cup. The relay team of Blackwood, McFarlane, Hicks, Cope, McEwen, Neilson, Hill and Robertson came fourth. The shuttle relay team of Trotter, Newcombe, Cottrell and Turner placed third. Pat Turner came first in the 75 yard dash and running broad jump, and third in the high jump. Jean Newcombe took fourth in the high jump. KAPPA ZI TRACK CUP The girls’ track cup, donated by the Kappa Zi Sorority, is presented annually to the girl in Central gaining the most points. Pat Turner, repeat¬ ing her 1936 performance, won the cup for the second consecutive year. Her point total of twelve, was made up of two firsts and a third. THE KAPPA ZI BASKETBALL TROPHY Because of the interest shown in Girls’ Basketball this year, the Kappa Zi put up a trophy for House League Competition. This handsome statuette was won by the Giants, who are the first to have their name engraved on it. Basketball at C.C.I. is particularly handicapped by the smallness of the floor and lack of available time on it. This not only makes it difficult to run the House League, but handicaps the girls tremendously when they play on other floors. However, many fine games were seen during the play-offs, and we hope that competition for the trophy will be just as strong next year.

THE ANALECTA 93 STUDENTS ' COUNCIL Before the end of September the first meeting of the Students’ Council was held with the chosen representatives of the various rooms electing officers for the year. As usual, the respective presidents of the school clubs joined the executive. Rugby was the first question to come before the Council, and all members did excellent work in promoting interest in this premier school sport. Signs were put on the boards, record numbers of tickets were sold, and cheer-leaders were selected to head the cheering section. Throughout the year, several well-attended- Lits. were held. The Council also made pos¬ sible the distribution of school crests among the students, which proved a very successful venture. The Annual March Cancert was also sponsored by the governing body in conjunction with the Dramatic Club. By appoint¬ ing the Editor-in-Chief and the Business Manager of the Analecta, the Council was responsible for getting the popular Year Book under way. And so, the Students’ Council with the valuable co-operation of the student body, records another successful year in the annals of C.C.I. Thanks are due also to Miss Kaulbach and her Dramatic Club, the Hi-Y Clubs, and several others who did so much to aid the Council during the year. The Executive: President ......

THE BOYS ' HI-Y The Central Boys’ Hi-Y, under the capable guidance of Mr. Pulley- blank, spent one of its most successful years since the inauguration in 1932. The supervision of the Boys’ Track Team will complete the Hi-Y activities for this year. A committee appointed by the club made the C.C.I. Weeper a successful financial venture. The Hi-Y supervised the hall-patrols, gate-duty, and pop-sale at the Lits. and March Concert. Besides the regular meetings, the club supported all city-wide Hi-Y movements. May we, the retiring executives, take this opportunity to wish our successors and the Hi-Y club of 1938-39, the best of luck for a successful season. Mentor. President . Vice-President .

At the weekly meetings, the girls have welcomed the opportunity of discussing their personal problems, and have benefited by the advice and information offered by guest speakers. The girls have taken part in many school activities; an initiation banquet, a party for all the new girls of the school, two successful teas, and a dance. They also helped to supply part of the program for one of the Lits., and helped to organize the Girls ' Track Meet. The Executive: Mentor . Miss James President .. Norma Christie Vice-President ...

THE GAMMA PHI CLUB The Gamma Phi, a governing body of the Boys’ Hi-Y clubs, includes executive members of the various Hi-Y’s. Mr. Harold Plain as mentor, conducted many interesting discussions at the weekly supper meetings. The Gamma Phi sponsored sex lectures, a church service, a provincial conference, and the annual Hi-Y banquet. Central is represented by Dawn Fairbairn (Gamma Phi President), Murray Law (Treasurer), Maurice Snell and Bill Stuart. Jim Ward and Alton Ryan, two other Centralites, are representatives for the clubs at the Y.M.C.A. THE KAPPA GAMMA CLUB This club, for the past eight years, has endeavored to form a con¬ necting link between the Calgary High School girls. This year its member¬ ship consists of approximately twenty girls who meet each week in the Y.W.C.A. club rooms. Under the able leadership of Miss Jean Reynolds and Miss Joyce Kerrison, the club has had a successful year. Local speakers have given addresses and the girls themselves have led many interesting discussions. 96 THE ANALECTA KAPPA GAMMA— Continued. For the last two years its representatives from Central High School have been: 1936- 37—Pat Turner, Norma Christie, Joan Inglis and Madeleine Maguire. 1937- 38—Pat Turner, Norma Christie, Margaret Willox and Dorothea Stuart. THE CURRENT EVENTS CLUB The Current Events Club, with an increased membership, has con¬ tinued in its second year with a program of discussions on topics of interest in the world today. In addition to the regular weekly meetings, two groups of moving pictures were shown to selected audiences. The club was greatly honored this year by being chosen to present a discussion of a current topic over the radio during Educational Week. The Executive: Honorary President .. Miss Elliott President .

BADMINTON CLUB The Badminton Club, with a membership of nearly 45, had a very successful season. A pin of unique design was chosen by the girls. Several very successful tournaments were arranged. A mixed team was entered in the Interscholastic Badminton Tournament. The Executive: Hon. President .. Miss Sampson President . Marg. Willox Vice-President .. Jeanette Farman Secretary-Treasurer . Doreen Donaldson We wish to congratulate Geraldine Cope, who has again won the Junior Provincial Badminton Championship. THE DRAMATIC CLUB During the 1937-1938 season, the C.C.I. Dramatic Society, under the capable direction of Miss Kaulbach, presented several plays which were received very favorably. Students took more interest in Dramatics this year, with more elevens and twelves Joining the Society. THE CCAM iTIC SOCIETY Hie Betrayal On Dartmoor’’ “How He Lied to Her Husband” Cannibal Island The Stage Crew. . ' 98 THE ANALECTA THE DRAMATIC CLUB -Continued. “On Dartmoor,’’ a story of an escaped convict from the famous Dart¬ moor Prison, was first presented at the Valentine Lit., and repeated during Educational Week. Exceptional talent was displayed in this play by a well chosen cast including Bob Wilkins, Marion Dyson, Elva Clark, George Hill and Rollie Mayhood; and was sub-directed by Ivy England. Three other plays were prepared for the March Concert. “Betrayal,’’ a serious play, set at the home of Peter Steele on Christmas Eve, was cast with Brenda Turner and Clarence Bell in the leads, supported by Albert Haynes and Richard Swann, who was also the sub-director. “How He Lied To Her Husband,’’ a satire, deals with a romantic youth who falls in love with a married woman. Its cast included Eric Jensen, Dorothy Hammond and Ted Haney. This play was directed by Mr. Hammond, whom we wish to thank for his valuable assistance. “Cannibal Island,” a story of the South Sea Islands, had George Adlam and Dorothea Stuart as the leading actor and actress, and they were supported by Bob Stearne, Sam Cohen, Bill Andrews, A.lbert Annand, George Burrell, Ross Creighton, Abe Tucker, Marcel Gould and Noel Langham, with Dorothea acting as sub-director. The members of the C.C.I. Dramatic Society wish to express sincere thanks and appreciation to Miss Kaulbach for her untiring efforts with the Society. The Executive: Honorary President . Miss Kaulbach President . Marion Dyson Secretary .. Betty Fowler Committee: Mary Edwards, Geraldine Cope, Elva Clark. Stage Crew: Angus McKinnon (Manager), Neil Carr (Electrician). George Hill, Rollie Mayhood (Stage Hands). THE ANNUAL MARCH CONCERT Again one of the outstanding highlights of C.C.I. social life, was the A.nnual March Concert, held under the auspices of the Dramatic Society. The Old Hall with its cracked plaster was scarcely recognizable through gay streamers, bright balloons, and welcoming signs on the walls. The Decora¬ tion Committee is to be congratulated. The main program consisted of the three plays—“Betrayal,” “Cannibal Island” and “How He Lied To Her Hus¬ band”—which were splendidly produced, and very well liked. Music was supplied during the intermissions by Mr. Beresford’s Combined Orchestra, and the thunderous applause they received speaks for their quality. As in previous years, the Concert was held on two nights, but there was no dancing as it was held in the middle of the week. This was one of the most successful Annual Concerts ever produced. C.C.I. LITS The Lits again provided a source of enjoyment for the Central Students and their friends. At the time of writing, three very successful Lits have been held with the assurance of at least one more. The popularity of these functions necessitated limiting the crowd to the students and a few guests. THE ANALECTA 99 C.C.I. LITS—Continued. The Hallowe’ en Lit, held in late October, consisted of a variety pro¬ gram and dance. Appropriate decorations in black and orange were an added novelty for the large crowd. Souvenir programs of pumpkin design proved a highlight of a very enjoyable evening. In November, a Rugby Lit was held in honor of the two rugby teams, with the boys and their partners the guests of the evening. The Delta Rho and the Kappa Zi presented a fine program for the capacity crowd. After the presentations to the coaches, Bob Bateman and Lionel White introduced the rugby players. Mrs. Emery then presented the Memorial Cup to Stan. Fairbairn. Dancing concluded the evening’s entertainment. On the night of the Valentine Lit, the Old Hall could scarcely be recognized. Gay red and white decorations, including hearts, cupids, bal¬ loons and streamers successfully hid the cracked and falling plaster. The Dramatic Club’s “On Dartmoor,” was well received, while Bob Wilkins, Eric Jensen and ' three members of the Swingster’s Orchestra rounded off an excellent program. The Valentine box arranged by Betty Campbell, Murray Law and the Decoration Committee, brought tears to the sentimentalists, while the majority roared with laughter. Any school presentation such as a Lit, requires a lot of hard work. This year the task was lightened considerably, for the Council received ex¬ cellent co-operation. The Dramatic Society, the Orchestra, the Kappa Zi, the Delta Rho, the Girls’ and the Boys’ Hi-Y Clubs, all helped in this season ' s activities. Decoration Committees throughout the year consisted of Marg. Willox, Betty Watson, Elva Clark, Norma Christie, Marion Dyson, Murray Law, and Richard Swann. We wish to thank the Faculty and all others who assisted throughout the year, for their kind co-operation. We feel that this year has been the most successful social season since we came to Central. THE C.C.I. WEEPER The C.C.I Weeper, the school “rag,” celebrated the seventh annivers¬ ary of continuous publication this year. The Boys’ Hi-Y, the board of pub¬ lication, started the improvement campaign by replacing the former mimeo¬ graph with a printed paper. Besides the six-page issues every other Monday, the Weeper Staff published eight-page editions at Christmas and Easter and on the Seventh Anniversary. The Anniversary Weeper and the Easter number were so well received, that a special farewell edition in June is assured. The editorial and business staffs co-operated perfectly. Dawn Fair¬ bairn as supervising editor was well assisted by Maurice Snell, Eric Jensen, Mac Sullivan, Bob Bateman and Murray Law. Don MacQueen, the Cir¬ culation Manager, kept the paper on a high financial level, while Dick Webb, Art Davies, Doug Tempest and Stan Fairbairn did their share bv selling Weepers and collecting credits. It would hardly be fair at this time of year to divulge the names of the scandal reporters, but on behalf of the Weeper Staff we wish to thank them for their fine work throughout the year. This year, the Weeper with its improved circulation of over 300 has continued faithfully to live up to its motto—“C.C.I., First, Last and Always.” 100 THE ANALECTA THE “HONOUR ' ' CUP The Honour Cup, donated by the Delta Rho fraternity, to be award¬ ed annually to the best all-round male student of Central was up for compe¬ tition for the first time this year. The cup was donated in the hope that it might further interest in all school activities and help develop many out¬ standing versatile students. Clarence Bell, the choice of the Committee, is a very worthy winner. Clarence, who excelled at both rugby and hockey, was interested in all sports. Although quiet by nature, he is well known among all the boys as a real sport and afl enthusiastic worker. Always high in academic stand¬ ing he was appointed Literary Editor of the Analecta. Clarence joined the Dramatic Club this year and took the lead in one of the plays at the March Concert. As a member of the Hi-Y he was one of the men behind the scenes at many school functions. Clarence Bell is one of the very few who can take a keen interest in extra curricular activities yet still rank high in academic standing. Dawn Fairbairn, a member of the Delta Rho, was ineligible for cup competition but received honourable mention. Dawn, a rugby, hockey, track and basketball star, was appointed Sports Editor of the Analecta. As sup¬ ervising editor of the school paper, he was responsible for the Weeper’s “long trousers. Dawn, the Hi-Y and Gamma Phi president, was valuable as an executive member of the Council. Clarence Bell, the first to have his name engraved on the Honour Cup, received a miniature trophy as a permanent possession. We hope that in years to come the awarding committee will continue to choose as wisely and as carefully as it did this year. And we hope that there will be many out¬ standing students of the calibre of Clarence Bell and Dawn Fairbairn. THE KAPPA KAPPA TAU DEBATING CUP The trophy case of Central contains many fine cups. Among them is one that for several years has been collecting dust and tarnish; no names have been engraved on it; many do not know that it exists. It is the Kappa Kappa Tau Debating Cup, for inter-room competition, Five years ago debat¬ ing was very popular at Central, but with the introduction of new clubs and sports, interest in the old sometimes wanes—this is what happened to debating. But now with the introduction of the new curriculum and a wider interest in extra-curricula activities, debating should be revived by the younger students. Next year, those interested might reinvigoratei the old Spokes Club and again have inter-room debating for the Kappa Kappa Tau Cup. COMBINED ORCHESTRA The Combined Orchestra, composed almost entirely of students from Central and Western, was organized by Mr. Beresford this year. Although still in its infancy, the Orchestra is rapidly earning a name for the high quality of its work, both on the radio and at concerts. Wo congratulate Mr. Beresford, who, by his untiring efforts, has been able to train this splendid body of musicians. THE ANALECTA 101 COMBINED ORCHESTRA—Continued. Conductor: Mr. Beresford.

GRADUATION EXERCISES The year 1937 is notable for the introduction of Graduation Exercises in the Calgary High Schools. Central High School in conjunction with Com¬ mercial held their first Graduation Exercise in the auditorium of Western Canada High School on June 9, 1937. A brilliant valedictory was given by 102 THE ANALECTA GRADUATION EXERCISES —Continued. Gena Speakman and the C.C.I. graduates were introduced by Mr. Weir, when each was presented with a small souvenir booklet. Mr. H. G. Nolan, K.C. delivered a most encouraging address to the students. The Graduation Exercises were greatly appreciated by the students, teachers and parents. A precedent has been established in the city and we sincerely hope that this ceremony will be carried on in the years to come. GRADUATION DANCE The fourth annual graduation party was held on May 29th, 1937, at St. Stephen’s Hall. About one hundred couples attended. Due to the school’s lack of financial resources, the party was not an invitation affair and many undergraduates attended. Members of the Home and School Association kindly gave their time and labor in preparing refreshments. Norma Christie and Murray Law had charge of arrangements. THE KAPPA KAPPA TAU FRATERNITY This fraternity, organized in the fall of 1926, is the oldest and best known fraternity in Central. Its original name of Kappa Kappa Iota was later changed to Kappa Kappa Tau. The Club is composed entirely of stud¬ ents and ex-students of Central, and from the first, C.C.I. interests have been the interests of the K.K.T. As in previous years the Tau held several dances which were very successful. Every year the Club takes in new members and this year the five chosen were: Art Follet, Bob Robertson, Bob Wilkins, Art Davis and Weston Brooks. Officers of the Club are: President:.Secord Tenant Vice-President: .

DELTA RHO FRATERNITY Amicitia Aeterna Conjuncti The Delta Rho Fraternity, organized early in 1936, has successfully passed another milestone. After a strenuous initiation, four new members were inducted into the club at a banquet in the York Hotel, during the early part of October. The club’s next major undertaking was the donation of the “Honour” Cup for the purpose of furthering all school activities. The cup will be pre¬ sented to the best all-round male student of Central. On November 26th, the Kappa Zi Sorority and the Delta Rho co-operated with the Students’ Council to make the Rugby Lit an outstanding social event. In late December the Kappa Zi and the Delta Rho combined to hold a Christmas party at the Bowness Golf Club. The Rho “Round Up” at Penley’s Ranch on February 4th found all the principal Greek-letter clubs present in their distinctive out¬ fits. Several other social events, including the annual dinner party at the end of June will complete the season’s activity. The Delta Rho, although comparatively junior in years, has found a place among the outstanding fraternities in the city. The officers are as follows: President:.Maurice Samwell Vice-President:.Reg- Snell Secretary:.Frank Wood Treasurer: . Elmer Borgal Keeper of the Log:.Murray Law The me mbers are: Tom Hall, Bob Pearson, Bill Speerstra, Doug. Pet¬ tigrew, Ted Colley, Fred Crick, Dawn Fairbairn, George Hill, George Taylor, George Burrell. 104 THE ANALECTA THE ALPHA GAMMA SORORITY The Alpha Gamma is the largest and oldest sorority in Central. It was organized in 1929 and is composed of students and ex-students of C.C.I. With the initiation of four new members in 1938, the membership was increased to 38. Varied activities throughout the year were well received by the stud¬ ents at Central. The activities included an autumn dance at Penley’s, two teas and an anniversary party at the Bowness Golf Club. The Alpha Gamma, in conjunction with the Kappa Zi, also sponsored “The Teen Age Models On Parade,” a fashion show in aid of the V.O.N. As in previous years, the sorority assisted a needy family at Christmas.

KAPPA ZI SORORITY The sorority has enjoyed a very successful year with an increased membership; eighteen to twenty-four. As a gesture to help maintain sport in the school a trophy was presented to the winning team of the Basketball House League. The first of the Zi’s social functions was a Scavenger Hunt in October followed in December by a Hamper Shower to aid needy families. A dance was held in the same month—“Red and Green Swingcopation”—and was supported famously. The Anniversary Party at the Renfrew Club was held THE ANALECTA 105 KAPPA ZI SORORITY— Continued. in February; and with the Alpha Gamma Sorority a Fashion Show was put on in April in aid of the V.O.N.

KAPPA ZETA BETA SORORITY This Sorority was formed in the early spring of 1934 in Central Col¬ legiate Institute. It was first known as the Kappa Zeta Bo Sorority, but the name was later changed to Kappa Zeta Beta. With the taking in of three new members in the fall of 1937, the membership of the sorority has increased to 24. This Sorority has tried to support and co-operate with C.C.I. in every possible way. It has endeavored to maintain the school spirit by donating “The Gordon Emery Memorial Trophy” to the best all-round player on the Senior Rugby Team, and by also donating two megaphones. The activities of the Sorority are many, varying from wiener roasts to the very sophisticated sorority dances. The activities commenced this term with a “Twilight Tea” to which many C.C.I. “freshettes’’ were invited. Initiation of three new members followed. Other social events were, a ban¬ quet at the York Hotel, an Armistice Party at Braemar Lodge, and their big dance, “Colleen Capers,’’ on March 18th, at Penley’s Academy. Outside the school, the sorority have helped the needy by giving Christmas Hampers. The Executive: President . Vice-President . Secretary . Treasurer . Keeper of the Log Thora Cunningham .

At home, we never hit him except in self-defense.” The reason a man prefers an unkissed girl is that she won’t have a standard of comparison. “I bought this fountain pen for my wife,” he explained. “A surprise, eh? beamed the shop assistant. “Rather!

We can imagine the puzzled expression on the faces of the young girls who wonder what the queer little gadgets are for. It is claimed that small boys must be watched at parties. Mary Sher¬ man complains that when the lights went out at a party recently, an interfering wretch set to work and got them going again. Dancing teachers say there is a deterioration in Canadian manners. It seems we don’t bow when asking, “Is the next crawl mine, baby.” Ad. by a Scotchman in paper: “Lost a five dollar bill. Sentimental value.” Norway has less drunkeness than any other country. For Norse is Norse and souse is souse and never the twain shall meet. A speech should be short enough to be interesting and long enough to cover the subject—like a woman’s dress. The best way to keep milk from going sour is to keep it in the cow. Seen in a Cafe— If you think our pie is crusty you ought to see our cook. A local pessimist declares he expects Alberta to have good roads when everybody else is travelling in aeroplanes. Daniel, upon finding himself in the lions’ den, observed: “At least there will be no after-dinner speaking.” A man bought goods from a Jew, sold them to a Scotchman and made money. That shows anything is possible. I have just been to my doctor about my heart. I am very much en¬ couraged. He says it will last as long as I live. An eastern charm school teaches graceful movements by having stu¬ dents walk with books balanced on their head. Elva Clark did this with “Gone with the Wind” and it left her bowlegged. “Who do the mermaids flirt with?” Noel Langham: The swells of the ocean, I imagine.” A blind man and a legless cripple were discussing business and the weather, when a young woman came by and dropped a coin in each of their cups. After she had passed on, the blind man turned to the other unfortun¬ ate and said: “That dame was knock-kneed, wasn’t she?” “Yeh,” replied the cripple, “she was. But say, how did you know—- I thought you were blind?” I am.” grinned the blind man, “but I’m not deaf!” THE ANALECTA 135 Wifey: “Darling, when you and I kept company, my mother used to have something green with every meal.’’ Hubby: “Yeah, me.” Bill Stua rt: “You’re not living at the same boarding house any more, are you?” Ken Head: “No, I stayed five weeks, and then found they had no bathtub.” On getting rid of a husband, if at first you don’t succeed, try, try. try a gun. “I once knew a man who killed his wife with a golf club.” “Yeah? In how many strokes?” Many a fellow has started a puppy love affair, only to wind up a few months later tied down in the dog house. Waiter: “Did you call, sir?” Guest: “No, that was the fly buzzing in my soup. A gold-digger’s past is made up of men’s presents. Dentist (to patient): “I told you not to swallow. That’s my last pair of pliers.” Every year college deans pop the question to their undergraduates: “Why did you come to college?” Traditionally the answers match the question in triteness. But last year, one co-ed unexpectedly confided: “I came to be went with—but I ain’t yet!” Cute Cutie: “Dear old Jerry ordered dinner for two when I visited his penthouse last night.” Catty Cutie: “Why didn’t he order something for himself?’’ B. Baker: “Tell me, why do you call this lovely car a crate?” B. Topley: “Because I often pack it full of peaches.” “Mr. Judy, your daughter has promised to be my wife.’’ “I’m sorry, young fellow, but it was your own fault. What else did you expect if you kept hanging around so much?” 136 THE ANALECTA Counting sheep in order to fall asleep is just pulling the wool over your eyes. “Yeah! Well, get this. I still have the first dollar I ever made.” “Humph! Woman hater!’’ First Young Hubby: “Gosh, what a bump I’ve got on the head! My wife and I had our first argument, and she socked me on the head with a pie pan.” Second: “Say, how could she do that much damage with a pie pan?” First: “She had one of her pies in it.” John Windsor: I presume you know that kisses are the language of love.” Peppy Pretty: “Gosh, if that’s the case, you must just be learning to talk!” H e: “I’ve a little surprise in store for you.” She: “Well, I’d rather see it on my finger.’’ Boob: “I can see you are a man of convictions.” Mugg: “You bet I am. I’ve served ’em in three different prisons. “What makes you look so old?’ “Trying to keep young.” “Trying to keep young?” “Yeah, nine of them.” That superstition about three on a match being bad luck, started with the first groom who got a wife and a father and a mother-in-law. Golfer: “Confound it all, caddy, haven’t you found that ball yet? It came right down the fairway.” George Taylor: “That’s the trouble, mister. The fellows told me that when I caddied for you I’d only need to watch the rough.” Two rash students in law class engaged in a heated argument: Law Student No. 1: “You’re the dumbest person I ever saw.” Absent-minded Prof.: “Gentlemen, you forget that I am in the room.” Thereupon the students were subdued without a ripple. “The man who marries my dauqhter will need a lot of money.” “I’m just the man for her, then.” THE ANALECTA 137 Accused (just acquitted, to counsel): “Thanks, awfully, old man. What on earth should I have done without you?” Counsel: “Oh, about five years.” Dutton: “What do you mean, young fellow, by telling it about town that my ‘head was made of solid ivory’?” Don: “I’m sorry, old chap, but I never used such language. I merely said that you carried more osseous matter above your shoulders than any other man I ever met.” Dutton: “Well, now, that’s different.” “Sure, I was out with an open-faced girl last night.” “Oh, you mean she had an innocent expression?” “No, I mean she didn ' t stop talking for a minute.” “Are you going to take this lying down?” boomed the candidate. “Of course not,” said a voice from the rear of the hall. “The Short¬ hand reporters are doing that.” “I suppose Gert’s boy friend doesn’t speak to her since he won the $10,000 air race.” “No, he’s still peeved because she wouldn’t lend him $50 of it. Patron: “The last time I had grapefruit in this restaurant, it was terrible.” Waiter: “Say, wait’ll you get an eyeful of our new grapefruit.” “Is your dad an early riser, too?” “Is my dad an early riser? Why, he gets up so early that if he went to bed a little later he’d meet himself getting up in the morning.” The Gal: you go home?’’ The Guy: “Why not come up to my apartment and have a bite before “Naw, hon, just let me have it down here in the hallway.” “Offhand, do you like diamonds?” “No, on the hand.’’ Joe: “Hey, how did you fellows enjoy the history lecture this morning?” Chum: “Not so good; we never can sleep so well the first day in a strange room.’’ 138 THE ANALECTA Patron: “Are you sure this egg is fresh?’’ Waiter: “I don’t know sir, I only laid the tablecloth.” If kissing is a lost art, perhaps that’s the reason for so many collectors. your What did the officer do when he found a whole quart concealed in hip pocket?” “He took the address of my tailor.’’ “So your wife proved your donwfall?” “Yeah, to the judge.” The young Scotch graduate complained that his sheepskin didn’t have enough meat on it. “Mother, are you the nearest relative I’ve got?” “Yes, dear, and your father is the closest.’’ Jean McK.: “Janice’s hair is turning grey with worry.” Dot C.: “Worry over what?” Jean McK.: “Whether to be a blonde or a red-head.’’ Daughter: “Mrs. Smithers had me over to her house to give me some pointers on bridge this afternoon.” Mother: “Did you learn anything?” Daughter: “Yes, the Joneses are planning a divorce, the Biffingtons just got two new cases of Scotch, and the Browns are soon going to have another mouth to feed.” Don Macqueen: “Hey, sweet stuff, would you like to feel my muscles?” Stoopette: “Certainly, handsome. Put your arms around me.” One Siamese Twin to Another: “You must have had a swell time last night. I feel like a wreck today.” D. Donson: “Feel those muscles toots: I’m a man of steel.” Dot H.: “Well, I’m a woman as hard as flint.” D.D.: “Good. Let’s spark.” Lend a neighbor a garden rake and he’ll come back for mower. The little girl returned home from school and said to her mother: “Oh, we had a lovely lesson all about some people named Adam and Eve, and they lived ever so happily in the Garden of Eden until the servant arrived.” THE ANALECTA 139 Conceited Movie Actor: “People will gaze at my next picture with open mouths.” Girl: “Yes, it’s pretty hard, I suppose, for them to yawn with their mouths closed.” Just because a guy says he’ll call you up it doesn ' t say that he will give you a ring. “Last winter your boy friend was Jack; in the spring it was Larry. What does that make me? “The fall guy naturally.’’ Mistress: “You know, I suspect my husband has a love affair with his stenographer.” Maid: “I don’t believe it; you 1 are only saying it to make me jealous.” Big Sister’s Beau: “As a Boy Scout, do you believe in doing your daily good turn?” Johnny: “Sure, I do.” Big Sister’s Beau: “Well, the next time I kiss your sister, you turn around and face the wall.” McKinnon: “How many make a dozen?” Swann: “Twelve.” Mac: “How many make a million?” Swann: “Very few.” Ed: “While we’re sitting in the moonlight. I’d like to ask you—” Co-Ed: “Yes, darling?” Ed: “If we couldn’t move over. I’m sitting on a nail.” —— Husbands will tell you that the sea of matrimony is darned expensive with all those permanent waves. — $ — Neil Carr: “Whatya doing?” Bill B-A.: “Writing a joke.” Neil: “Tell her ‘Hello’ for me.” The chief difference between a bachelor and a married man is that one is cagey, and the other caged. HO THE ANALECTA were first known in Southivestern Asia T HE origin of the almond is a matter of conjecture, so long has it been known. It is supposed to be a native of Southwestern Asia and the Mediterranean region. There are two types, the bitter and sweet. The bitter almond appears to be the original, the sweet may have been an accidental variety. Today the latter is grown extensively in Southern Europe and in California. The almond was known in England in the 11th century as the Eastern Nutte-Beam.” It is used to some extent in medicinal and other preparations, but the nuts are chiefly used for eating. There are hard shell, soft shell and some specially thin- shelled varieties known as paper shells. The long almonds of Malaya, known as Jordan almonds and the broad almonds of Valencia are the most valued. Neilson s use only the finest selected almonds in their confections. hot example, the Burnt Almond Bar — the aristocrat of all Chocolate Bars —contains the choicest of freshly roastedalmondsandrich, delicious French style chocolate. You’ll enjoy it—any time. JTeilson’s THE BEST CHOCOLATE MADE HS37B THE ANALECTA HI L’ENVCI And so our work is finished. We give to you, the students of C.C.I., who charged us with the task, your 1938 Analecta. Take it as it is, imperfect; criticize, that next year’s staff may progress by our mistakes, but love it for what it stands for—a year’s study, a year ' s advancement, a year of life; out work will then be truly finished. The success of the Analecta is contingent on advertisements and co¬ operation. To our advertisers who have made this book possible, we extend our thanks and urge all students to patronize them. To the teachers, the students, the photo engraver, the printer, and to all others who have co¬ operated with us—we thank you for your aid. The teachers were always ready to aid with any advice they could give; the students helped with material for the literary section, cover designs and subscriptions; while the photo engraver and the printer gave us many constructive ideas on page designs. We are also much indebted to the Weeper for the valuable public¬ ity which we have received. To the Analecta staff of next year, may we offer our congratulations and best wishes in the task that lies ahead of you. NEIL CARR, Editor-in-Chief. 142 THE ANALECTA ADVERTISERS Agnew, W.
