While at C.C.I. Frances was outstanding for her scholastic and athletic abilities, and her friendship was treasured wherever it was bestowed. Those of us who knew her well, saw beyond her physical attractiveness to a beauty of mind and spirit which we can never cease to remember and to revere. And now—like the poignant strains of a lovely tune, her memory, haunting, lingers on in the hearts of all who knew her. To her family, in their irredeemable loss, we extend our heartfelt sympathy. Say not of her, Too soon her life is spent. Finished, ere tis scarce begun.’ Her task, to find and point the way— That others may follow where she led on. Her Heavenly Father called her thus To noble purpose, high endeavour, Envoy of that Grander Sphere, where now She serves—and does His will forever. ZditosUaL and THE ANALECTA fifteen THE KING COMES TO CANADA That the motives behind the forthcoming visit of King George VI to America are not entirely social is one of those things that are commonly understood but left unsaid by everyone with good manners. The fact that this will be the first time in the history of The New World that a British sovereign has set foot on Canadian or American soil is in itself enough to indicate the existence cf some great emergency. Thus it is with these facts in mind that we approach their Majesties’ forthcoming visit. It has grown upon all true Canadians that it is not only our duty to receive the son of our beloved King George V, and his wife, hospitably and to ensure their enjoyment during their stay in Canada but it is also our duty to help bolster the ties that hold the mother country and Canada together. It is for us to act with a unified effort to unite Canada and ensure her support of Great Britain in times of stress. The Canadian public has become slowly engrained with a feeling of independence and warm friendship with the United States. We have yet to realize, however, that inwardly we are still as dependent on Britain as we were in the days of Confederation. This spirit has apparently left many of us and we must rediscover it and put it to good use again. Thus when Their Majesties arrive at Calgary on May the 26th, it is to be hoped that all Canadian boys and girls will be proud to feel that they are links of our great Empire and no matter how small a link they have helped to a certain extent to hold it together. Give vent to your feelings of proudness but always remember that without your help the Empire cannot carry on. Be ready to support this feeling with physical effort and you will find that you will enjoy the visit of our King and Queen just that much more than if you had not found true realization of the fact that Canada still looks to ‘Merry England’ for guidance. OUR AUDITORIUM Everyone is aware that some day C.C.I.’s dream auditorium will materialize. The time will come when fortunate students will take drill, play games, and hold Lits. and dances in a spacious hall with air conditioning, indirect lighting, and excellent acoustics. It is an inevitable step, for each year such a building becomes a more pressing requisite. The change in the curriculum has made the need still more demanding. The so-called “baby elephants’’ or “cavalry”, in their physical training periods on the top floor, do not create the most propitious circumstances for deep concentration on the part of the academic classes. Besides this disturbing element there is the increasing problem of floor space for indoor sports, and perhaps most serious of all, the inadequate facilities at the disposal of our Dramatic and Orchestral groups. A craftsman’s achievement is limited by antiquated tools and so Central’s production of programs is handicapped by improper setting, hearing conditions, and seating room. Obviously, the scope of C.C.I.’s activities has grown beyond the walls which formerly offered sufficient accommodation. If our student body is to keep abreast with the sixteen THE ANALECTA modern trend and compete with rival collegiate friends, matching advantages are indispensable. The recent interest, however, which the School Board has taken in our problem is encouraging, and Centralites look forward optimistically to the not too distant day when their visionary auditorium will be concrete. THE CONSTITUTION I wonder how many students in the school do not know that there is a constitution. Of the rest, how many have the slightest idea of its pro- visions? In case you didn’t know, it is a document residing in the back of the Students’ Council Minute Book. It is not very well written and until last year was hopelessly obsolete. At that time a committee of the Students’ Council did make some recom¬ mendations and some amendments were made. Was the student body any the wiser? The point is this. Our Students’ Council is supposed to provide train¬ ing for democracy. At present, we have fallen into one of the worst pitfalls of that system of government. The people, in our case the students, are ignorant and uninterested. They may grumble when anything happens they do not like, but do they do anything about it? Two things seem to us to be necessary. First, we need some arrange¬ ment for explaining in detail to the students what the Students’ Council is, and how it operates. For instance, there is a recall provision that seems to have fallen into disuse. Now that we have a Gestetner machine in the school, I do not see why every student should not have a copy of the con¬ stitution. Secondly, we need a more efficient means of starting things in the fall. There should be a carry-over committee each year to supervise elections and the calling of the first Council meeting. We make these suggestions because we feel the Students’ Council is the business of every Centralite. It does happen from time to time that we cannot boast very highly of o ur sports; but there is no reason why we should not always have the best student government in the city. It’s up to you. STAFF CHANGES The year 1938 has brought about a number of changes in the personel of the Central High School Staff. With the retirement of Mr. T. E. A. Stanley, Central has lost one of its finest teachers. Mr. Stanley will be remembered by many as one of the small group of four teachers representing the four western provinces, who began, in October, 1919 an organization which has now developed into the Canadian Teachers Federation. He was for many years the principal of Central High School, and later became principal of Western Canada High THE ANALECTA seventeen School. Mr. Stanley has served under the Calgary School Board for over twenty-eight years, having spent the last four years at Central High. We had come to look upon him as a great standby, and his absence this year has been sincerely felt. Mr. Stanley’s position on the faculty has been taken over by Mr. S. Jones, a specialist in Mathematics, and formerly of Western Canada High School. Miss Alford, formerly of Crescent Heights, has served Central for many years in the capacity of English and French teacher. Last year she was granted leave of absence and her place on the staff is being filled by Miss H. Hobbs, B.A., formerly of Western Canada High School. Miss Sampson, our librarian and study supervisor, has also been granted leave of absence and her place has been taken by Mr. Rodie. We also wish to extend a welcome to Mr. T. Finn, who as a Physical Training Instructor, will form another addition to the staff. In conclusion, to those who have left the faculty of Central, we wish the best of luck, and to our new teachers we extend a hearty welcome on behalf of the students of Central High School.

Mr. Bennett was unable to present the prizes in person, and his secretary, Miss Millar, gave them in his stead. At that time, E. J. Chambers spoke to the students. In January, when Mr. Bennett left the city for England, a group of students were present at the armories to bid him farewell. These included present and past winners of Bennett Scholarships, and other C.C.I. repre¬ sentatives. twenty THE ANALECTA VALEDICTORY As a long year hastens ever nearer the time of fulfillment, swiftly we approach the crest of the mount up which for so long we have been tailing. With mingled feelings of regret and hope we face our graduation. For a few years we have tarried at the crossroads of beginning and our heads have been lifted higher that we may see Life as it really is. We beheld a vast peak which appeared the ultimate goal of all our strivings, and strangely enough, we believed that all would be ended when once we had stormed that height. And now we stand on the very peak and take one last look back ’ere we turn our faces from the sunset of these days. We have traversed a great distance these years in school—varied alike in its disappointments and in its rewards. After many hard struggles and countless small defeats we have reached the long-sought goal. Now, as all these familiar things become part of the mighty Past, we perhaps realize the fact of our education which can alone be of enduring value. “True education is to make people not merely do the right things, but enjoy the right things—not merely learned, but to love knowledge.” We have experienced the joys of comradeship, the satisfaction of doing things well, the adventure of exploring, in ever-widening fields of endeavour. All these have been inexplicably interwoven with the fact of endless change, and to those who have guided our progress We give our sincere thanks. If our foretaste of learning has impressed upon us a keen desire for more Knowledge,—if it has created within us a deep, insatiable longing for the Truth which shall make us free,”—if it has kindled in our inmost hearts a fire of thank¬ fulness for lessons learned and gratitude for the infinite greatness of those yet to be discovered, —then school has been very worthwhil. To you who follow, we leave the echoes of our footsteps and the joy of achievement. Thus do we turn our faces toward the sun-rising, and cross this threshold to embark on the sea of Life. Yet all experience is an arch wherethro’ Gleams that untravell’d world whose margin fades Forever, and forever when I move. Come, my friends, ’Tis not too late to seek a newer world. Push off, and sitting well in order smite The sounding furrows; for my purpose holds To sail beyond the sunset— To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.” —Tennyson. —RUTH CRAWFORD.

Jlitesiasui, . . . TIIE ANALECTA forty-three IT’S FUN TO PLAY WAR (First Serious—Comp. 4) A few weeks ago I went shopping. It was the day before Christmas—■ Christmas, the time of international love and goodwill and peace. I was in the five and ten cent store, standing by the toy counter. A little boy, a rosy cheeked young fellow, was tugging at his mother’s skirts and pleading. “Mamma, can’t I please have some of these? Aw, please, mamma.” “All right, lohnny,’’ said mamma, “Sure you can have some. Clerk! Clerk! Johnny, tell the clerk which ones you want.” My eyes wandered to the objects of Johnny’s desire. They were toys —-rather unusual ones to say the least. The counter was heavily laden with scores of miniature implements of warfare. Soldiers, guns, and all the rest of the grisly display. There were soldiers in khaki and soldiers in blue. Some of them proudly bore the colors, some of them manned tiny machine guns, some of them stood poised with rifles and naked bayonets. So these were what Johnny wanted. Well, let him have his toys. Who knows? lohnny may some day be playing for “keeps” with bigger fellows in khaki, and in blue, standing poised with unfurled colors—marching on to death and destruction Millions of little Johnnies may some day be called upon to kill and destroy for their country. There were guns of all kinds, miniature cannon with wheels that really turned and carriages that really moved. Johnny seemed to like the guns. Rigger guns than those, however, may some day stand, row upon row, belch¬ ing forth smoke and fire and steel, efficiently fulfilling their mission to kill and to maim. lohnny may some day find that out. There were even winding trenches and barbed wire entanglements and piles of tiny sand bags. Johnny looked at them with shining eyes, eager to try them out. Some day, perhaps, Johnny may have the opportunity to crouch in muddy filthy trenches, to tear h ' s clothes and his flesh on mercilessly sharp barbed wire, to hurl his weary body on damp sand bags, waiting, perhaps, for merciful death. Soldiers, guns, trenches, barbed wire—I thought I had seen them all. But I hadn’t. There, in one corner of the display counter, lay dozens—at a nickel each—of tiny white stretchers. Johnny was a handsome looking little fellow, but 1 can’t help but wonder how Johnny would look stretched cn a large replica of one of those tiny white stretchers. —Abe Tucker. A CHANGE OF STATE (First Humorous—Comp. 4) He was only a little dog and he never meant to do any harm, but somehow nothing ever seemed to come out just the way he had intended it. Perhaps in the first place, they had given him the wrong sort of name, for the cognomen of “Frisky” seems invariably to put ideas into canine heads. At any rate, it was a rare day when he was in any other state but that of disgrace. The minute anything untoward happened, the search began for a small, fawn and white dog whose tail was much too long, and; whose stubby ears were scarred and ragged, the latter the result of frequent battles with forty-four THE ANALECTA A CHANGE OF STATE—Continued. the neighborhood cats, and other dogs not quite to his liking. On this par¬ ticular day the search was ended and Frisky, his miserable little heart crying out against the injustice of it all, lay grieving in the shade of the garage. It was one of those hot, sultry days when even the drone of bees and insects seemed subdued and lazy. Not the merest fleck of white marred the bright, scrubbed blue of the sky and there was no sign to indicate coming relief from the strength-draining, intense heat. So it was that tempers were frayed and it needed but little to encourage them into a bright glow of anger, that boded ill for those who created the spark which inflamed them. Frisky was one of those unfortunates, doubly so, in fact, for, at any time, he might have chosen a more favourable location to dig in than Mrs. Hiller’s garden, for she could never have been described as pleasant-natured at the best of times. Then to complete the escapade by wresting a large chunk of fur from the tail of her pet cat, was just too much. The irate lady had immediately gone to her telephone and informed Frisky’s master of the disgraceful actions stating in no uncertain terms, just what she would do with an animal like that. Without further ado, the little dog had been dealt punishment sufficient to remind him of his misdeeds for some time to come. His stubby nose, resting moodily on his paws, he silently denounced the world and all its human occupants. At length, he felt he would bear it no longer. He would run away. Perhaps when they found they no longer had a little dog they would be sorry and would want him back, but he wouldn’t come. No, he would never come back. He hoped their consciences would forever punish them for the way they had ill-treated him. Frisky stuck to his decision for about four hours. Six o’clock came and though he couldn’t actually tell the time, he knew by the pleasant, tantal¬ izing odors coming from the open kitchen doors along the streets, that supper¬ time was at hand. Somehow or other, he just couldn’t seem to rid himself of the thought of his dish at home, piled high with food and nobody there to eat it. It really was a shame to waste it and after all, wasn’t he a generous dog? For this once he would forgive his master and the rest of the family, but let them take heed, for next time he would not be so forgiving. No! indeed. Dusk gathered a blessed cloak of restfulness over the heat-tried world and relieved the tension created by such an over-abundance of warmth. Frisky sat on the back porch, resting after the day’s activities. He was feeling very contented. The supper had lived up to his highest expectations, and there had even been a welcome on the mat for him. He sighed content¬ edly and was about to close his eyes for a bit of the proverbial “forty winks,” when he espied the Hiller cat walking jauntily along the fence, not just any old fence, but his very own fence. “Well, of all the impudence!” he growled, his whiskers bristling furious¬ ly. He got to his feet and started briskly down the steps, his growl growing in momentum until it became a very healthy bark. The cat perched nonchal¬ antly, just out of reach, gazed disinterestedly with yellow, expressionless eyes. Frisky leapt with fury at the offending feline, but at this point his attack was brought to a sudden, disappointing end by the sharp voice of his master calling to him. With a last angry “Gr-r-rr-r,’’ he abandoned his campaign and trotted haughtily into the house. Frisky was not sorry after the tiring activities and annoyance of the day, when the time for bed arrived and he was able to settle down on his comfortable bed in the kitchen for a good night’s rest. It seems, however, THE ANALECTA forty-five A CHANGE OF STATE—Continued. that there is always something or somebody to disturb the peace. In this case it wasn’t just one, it was a whole covey, so it seemed, of mosquitoes. Frisky at length, in sheer desparation decided to move to the dining room. All went well for some time. • The sound of someone moving about awakened the little dog from his slumbers. He was distinctly annoyed. He had been dreaming of the cat he had previously attacked, and was just about to win a victory when his sleep was so rudely interrupted. Furthermore, it was his sensitive nose that told him it was a human being and it was not one that he knew. It was too much. All his old feeling of bitterness welled up and the sight of a leg in such close proximity suggested a mode of vengeance. If he couldn’t have a cat, he’d have a man. With a yelp, he leapt furiously and sunk his teeth into the flesh. From then on bedlam reigned. The man surprised by the vicious attack, tripped and fell headlong. The members of the family, awakened by the noise, came rushing in to seek the cause of it. Frisky was the most bewildered of all. He had committed the un¬ pardonable sin of biting someone and yet because that someone was called “burglar,” it was quite permissible. At last this state of bliss was a blessed change from that of disgrace and in his doggy way he realized that for the first time in his life, he was a hero. —Peggy Blair, Room 5. —— $ -- THE KING’S MEN (First Serious—English 2) “God Save the King”, our Empire, and the men who gallantly live, serving king and country. This, our glorious Empire, will live only as long as they, the Empire makers and protectors, go on doing their duty. Thus we, as humble members of the Empire “on which the sun never sets”, give a silent prayer and bless these men—“Soldiers of the King.” Yes, this story about the British Empire and her soldiers is just another tale of the uncountable many,—of how deeds of valor are performed in the face of the enemy. True, there are many kinds of bravery. There is brav¬ ery when, in the early morning, it takes courage to leave warm blankets. How much more is required to walk, possibly unfed and sick, in cold, mud, and amidst death? There is bravery of the mind which makes the jerking nerves hold still and show nothing but a good example, or an enduring spirit that lasts out a long seige. In the reign of the illustrious Queen Victoria, in the year 1856 on January 29, there was created the most famous order that a grateful sovereign could bestow on one of her subjects, a little, ugly bronze Maltese cross, decorated with a crowned lion atop and the inscription “For Valor”, better known as the Victoria Cross. It is firmly stated in the warrant that “Neither rank, nor long service, nor wounds, nor any other circumstances shall be held to establish a sufficient claim to this order.” First Lieutenant Timberton was a young subaltern of a famous regi¬ ment of His Majesty ' s fighting forces which we will call the “Royal Regi¬ ment.” To first perceive him in his brown tunic, left an impression of a neat appearance and immaculate clothes, for he bore the mark of the best groomed men in the world. He was one of the many to whom this ugly bronze cross was given. forty-six THE ANALECTA THE KING’S MEN—Continued. He was a youth in his early twenties when, in the hectic year of 1914, he answered his country’s call to the colors. His birthplace was on a very far away western farm in the Dominion over the sea—Canada. His early years had been spent in that country near the nestling peaks of the majestic and proud Rockies. When he reached the age of twenty, he went to the birthplace of his ancestors to start work in a prosperous firm, the place having been secured for him by an old soldier friend of the family, who took a kindly interest in the lad. The Royal Regiment was one of the first regiments to be placed in the western front line and participated in months of murderous fighting which took place against the Kaiser’s own crack guards. Yes, there were shellings, attacks, raids, death and destruction. Yet somehow in those long twisting, winding, muddy trenches the true spirit of our boys was shown. Somehow, the clean and considerate man seemed to take hold of circumstances in the right way. Timberton was one of these. It was on a dark and misty morning around six o’clock that the regi¬ ment was to advance, company by company, each with a certain objective to make the advance complete. Timberton’s company was to go over the top at 6:15 and a heavy bombardment by a British artillery unit was taking place. Timberton stood nervously beneath a parapet consulting the illumin¬ ated dial of his watch—6:12. “My God, would it never reach 6:15?” He nervously butted his cigarette under his hob-nailed boots. Now he steadily regarded the watch,—6:13,—6:14; now a death-like silence seemed to fall on this little group of men in that man created hell. The heavy bom¬ bardment was unheard, although it was actually fiercer now ' , with shining shells landing on the lines ahead in regular second apart intervals. Each man, whether officer o r private, old or young, had his own revered thoughts. Many felt that their hour had come, but to die so that democracy might live on, and their loved ones across the Channel cculd live without fear of death overshadowing their daily lives, was good. Then, putting his small silver whistle to his lips, Timberton gave a shrill blast, fallowed by a terse, “Are you going, men?” Timberton’s company had a devastating piece of land to capture, over unseen trenches, across barbed wire that had been cut before by the sappers. As they clambered over the parapet, the men found themselves in a new world—a world of dying men, screaming in pain; a world of minute red flashes in which it truly seemed that hell had been let loose. Timberton led his men to engage the enemy. Suddenly to the left, from beneath a little hummock in that land between the forces, there came a spattering cough, blind stabs of flame winging out with messages of death; a German machine-gun nest which, anticipating the attack, had moved up before daybreak and now, by their devastating work, Timberton and his men were going to be wiped out. . Who knows the thoughts that came to that youth? Perhaps the words flashed through his alert mind: “Wipe out that nest—or it’s the end!” Men were falling rapidly now; the Maxim was doing its work. Then Timberton acted; he staggered, crawled, ran those few yards to the round camouflaged pillbox. He had already whipped out a Mills grenade, pulled the pin out, and then he threw it on its life saving course. This was quickly followed by two more well placed grenades; the nest was partially destroyed but two soldiers of the Fatherland still lived in that holocaust of ruin. The lieutenant had reached the nest, by a miracle, unwounded—perhaps through the help THE ANALECTA forty-seven THE KING’S MEN—Continued. of a guardian angel or some other force of divinity—who knows? He clam¬ bered over the nest and jumped into the round pit. Two dull grey uniformed figures were trying to raise the cumbersome machine gun into action again. Four others lay around in horrible positions, with death written on their faces. True, those bombs were well aimed but two men still remained. His service revolver clutched in his hand, he shot one and then the other. The nest was wiped out—the attack could go on. The men had done good work while this deed of heroism was being carried out. The two armies were locked in a death struggle. Slowly the grey line receded and then came a mad retreat. The Royal Regiment had done its duty on that fearful morning. A message was flashed to headquarters, “Attack success—Royal Regiment occupying designated t rench.” The regiment had won through but it had paid the price. Many were the blood stained khaki tunics lying cn No Man’s Land. In far off Canada we find a sorrowful mother is opening a black- edged official war ministry letter. “Regret to announce that Lieutenant Timberton of C Company, Royal Regiment, is reported missing.’’ He, too, had paid the supreme sacrifice. Where he lay, only the Maker knew. Perhaps he was blown to pieces by flying shrapnel, perhaps a well placed bullet found its mark and he died out there in that battle of men, sinking to his death with pain edging out the words, “Onward men. Onward the Royals.” Then a shell might have buried him in that mud, which was often to feel the dead weight of some young boy in those four years of untold heroism and bravery. On the war records is to be found this entry—“Lieutenant Timberton Royal Regiment, Victoria Cross for bravery in the presence of the enemy. It is stated that the Order itself is a personal decoration, and the honor and glory of it belongs to the wearer, but he can only win it by forgetting himself and by working for something outside himself. I think this youth justly earned the little bronze cross. He paid the price as did many others—he was a true Soldier of the King.” Now, twenty years later, the great nations are again sounding ominous war notes. Uneasiness and unrest is the keynote of the great powers. Daily the training of men and the making of war machines goes on. Perhaps the youth of today will be called up just, as they were twenty-five years ago, and as they did before, the gallant sons of the Empire will answer that call if it is just. Let us, however, offer a prayer to God in tribute to the men who fell in the last struggle. “Please God, may the sounds of war be forever silenced on this world and in their stead the banner of peace reign among the nations of men.” Let us pray that the word ‘war’ becomes a thing of the past and that foremost in our minds will be the symbol of Jesus Christ—Peace. —Robin Smallwood. INTRODUCTION TO SWING (First Humorous—Eng. 1) This problem of what swing music is, and why, is quite important nowadays to me, as I am doing my best to play it; so I went up to the saxaphone player at a dance the other night, and asked him how he did it. For the benefit of anyone else who aspires to the art of jamming, I will quote his reply. forty-eight T II E ANALE 0 T A INTRODUCTION TO SWING Continued. “Maybe you know Tod Jeffries,” he said. “He’s the maestro of the Rhythmaniacs, and if I do say so, there aren’t many better bunches of cats in the business. As I was saying, Tod runs the maniacs, and runs ’em well, too, but when he was forming the band about three months ago, he was having a hard time rounding up his men. “I didn’t know Tod till I saw his ad in the ‘Clarion,’ but as I had left school, and was just killing time, I decided what he needed was a real swingeroo (not mentioning any names, but you know who I mean) on the clarinet and sax. Accordingly, I called over at his house that night, with my battered agony pipe under my arm. I hadn’t played the sax for months, as I had sold mine, but he said in the ad that they were supplied, so I thouht I would take a chance. “When I pulled in, the rest of the bunch were already jamming, so Tod just showed me a sax and clarinet and told me to get in and jive. They were playing Jeepers Creepers,” and I put in what I figured were some pretty hot licks. Just when I thought I had a contract cinched, Tod told me my gob work was pretty corny, but he’d hear what I could do on the sax before he threw me out. I felt a little cheap myself, because they had a few boys there who could really give. There was Red Baker who plays mean rhythm on his dog-house, and Bill Daniels who blows a red-hot slush-pump. The boys on the squeeze-box and squeak-box were strangers to me. Tod himself was getting real boogev-woogey out of his drums. This sort of gave me an inferiority complex, but I grabbed the sax, and prepared for a last try. “Say, that two month lay-off really showed in my playing. I couldn’t hit one note in ten that I wanted to, and I was really making a mess—no kidding. You could have knocked me down with a feather when they told me that was just what they wanted. “I wasn’t going to be beat on the gob though, so I took it again, and put all I had into it. Naturally, all I had came out, but it was a little changed because my B flat key was stuck open. “ ‘Well,’ I says to me, ‘I guess that just about busts your chances for a job in this band!’ “Well, I was some surprised when the boys crowded around and told me I had what it took. I couldn’t get them to listen when I tried to explain, so I got the job. It’s a good job, too, because we’ve got an offer to play in Vancouver this summer. “Well—you want to know how I do it? I’ll tell you. I just take off the B flat key on every instrument I play.” —Bob Pulleyblank. - « - GOING, GOING . . . ! (First Humorous—Eng. 2) “Jack! Oh Jack!” Mrs. Morton called impatiently to her young son. “Have you seen your father’s pocket-book anywhere? He’ll be furious when he finds out it’s gone. I’ve searched the house but I can’t seem to locate it, Jack!” “No, Mom, I haven’t,” Jack replied absently from behind his book. “Boy! this story’s excitin’!” “Jack! Get out of that chair at once and help me find it!” Mrs. Morton said angrily. THE ANALECTA forty-nine GOING, GOING . . . !—Continued. “Find what, Mom?’’ Jack asked without looking up. “O.K., O.K., he added as she stepped dangerously nearer, “I’ll come.” “Your father’s pocket-book! It’ll be just awful if we can’t find it,” Mrs. Morton continued. “There.was nearly fifty dollars in it. Now let me see—I laid it on the old rocker while I went to answer the telephone. The old rocker—my goodness!’’ “What’s the matter, Mom?” Jack asked anxiously. “Where’s the old rocker? It’s gone!’’ “Sure! The man from the auction place came and took it away. I thought it was O.K., so I let him. I knew you were expecting him.” “Jack! Oh, Heavens! What have you done? The pocket-book must have been on the chair when the man came. Didn ' t you see it?’’ “No, Mom, I didn’t.” “It must have fallen down behind the cushions in the chair then. You’ll have to go to the auction rooms and get the chair back, that ' s all. And hurry! You must get back before your father comes home.” Desperately Jack rushed from the house and made his way to the auc¬ tion rooms. He found the place packed with people. Anxiously he pushed his way through the crowd to the front. The auctioneer was thumping the table. “Gone!” he shouted, and to Jack the word seemed an ill omen. “Oh, excuse me,” began Jack timidly. “Sold to the gentleman in tweeds,” the auctioneer roared. “Next article, please.’’ “Could I please speak to you a moment?” Jack screamed above the din. “And here we have a beautiful hand-carved—a beautiful thing—ex¬ quisite in its loveliness—gorgeous—a lovely hand-carved tea-wagon. What am I bid?” “Hey!” Jack howled, “if it isn’t asking too much—-” “What am I bid?” the auctioneer asked again. “Do I hear ten dollars?” “One dollar!’’ someone shouted. “One dollar! Think of it! Are you going to let a gorgeous—” “Two dollars!” “Ladies and gentlemen! I ask you! Two dollars!” “Three!” It was Jack who shouted the word in desperation. Somehow he must talk to this man. “Going for three!” the auctioneer roared. “Do I hear any more? Going for three—sold to the young man with blond hair. A wonderful bargain, sir! •—worth at least twenty! Pay at the desk, please.” Hardly knowing what he was doing. Jack handed over three dollars from his precious savings. “And now, ladies and gentlemen,” the auctioneer resumed, “we have a charming novelty—a beautiful stuffed parrot. What am I bid?’’ “Twenty-five cents!” “What! Why, it’s ridiculous! To think that this delightful—do I hear fifty cents?” Jack waved his hand frantically. “May I speak to you, please?’’ he shouted. “Sold for fifty cents, to the young man with the blond hair!” the auctioneer announced. That s the spirit we like to see, folks,—always will¬ ing to enter the fun!” THE ANALECTA fifty GOING, GOING . . . !—Continued. It was perhaps twenty minutes later when Jack emerged from the auction sale wheeling a “beautiful hand-carved tea-wagon’’ loaded with (a) an enlarged photograph of somebody’s grand-uncle Fred in a missive frame, (b) two dilapidated hot water bottles, (c) a moth-eaten stuffed parrot, (d) a Mickey Mouse that danced when wound, and (e) a set of rusty garden tools complete with hose. He had finally discovered that the rocking-chair had been sold to a man named Smith, who lived a few blocks away. Swiftly Jack made his way to the house and rang the bell. The door was answered by a man in shirt-sleeves. He gave an agonized look at Jack and his purchases. “We don’t want any,” he said, starting to close the door. “Wait!” Jack cried in desperation. “Is your name Smith?” “Yes, but—” “Joseph Smith?” “Yes, but not the one you want,’’ the man said, beginning to close the door. “There are lots of Smiths, you know.” You are the one I want,” Jack protested. “I told you before we don’t want any. If my wife promised you she’d buy some it was a mistake. She’s subject to spells during which she says the most unaccountable things. You must forgive her. She can’t help not being quite right in the head.” Furtively Mr. Joseph Smith glanced round. “And now if you’ll excuse me—” he added. “Just a minute ’ Jack interrupted, beginning to think that perhape Mrs. Smith wasn’t the only one. “I’m not selling anything. Your wife didn’t promise me anything, and furthermore I won’t keep you a minute.” “That still sounds like somebody trying to sell something,” Mr. Smith said suspiciously. Jack ignored the remark. “Did you buy a rocking-chair this afternoon?” he asked. “I did, and I don’t want it insured.” Jack explained that he wasn’t an insurance man, and he wasn’t there to demonstrate cleaning furniture. He merely wanted to know if they’d found a wallet containing fifty dollars behind the cushions of the chair, and if they had, it belonged to Jack’s father. “Was it a pigskin one?” the man asked. “Yes,” Jack said eagerly. “Medium size?” “Yes, yes!” “Did it have an identification card in it?” Smith asked again. “That’s it,” Jack exclaimed, “where is it?” “I haven’t seen it,” the man told him. Jack asked himself was it all worth it . . . why had he been such a fool as to get dragged into all this? “Look.” he said slowly, “All I ask is that you let me see the chair and search it. That’s ALL I ask.” ‘“Well—all right,” said Mr. Smith grudgingly. “But I still don’t see why the menagerie.” After a thorouh search of half an hour, Mr. Smith and Jack desisted from their labors defeated and exhausted. The most thorough search of the chair and its upholstery failed to reveal any sign of the wallet. It was a disgruntled Jack who dragged weary feet and a tea-wagon laden with bounty up the steps of the Morton house. “Goodness, Jack,” Mrs Morton exclaimed. “What’s all this?” T II E A N A L E C T A fifty-one GOING, GOING . . . !—Continued. “Just some things I bought at the auction sale,” Jack told her. “What!” Mrs. Morton exclaimed. “Where are we going to put all that stuff? A tea-wagon, of all things! And we only sold the rocking-chair because we hadn’t anywhere to put it. What on earth possessed you to get all that junk?” “Oh. stuffed parrots can be used for almost anything—a paper-weight, an ornament, a pin-cushion, or, failing that—•” “The house is full of paper-weights and pin-cushions—” “Mom,’’ Jack interrupted despairingly, “about that pocket-book—” Pocket-book? What pocket-book? Oh, you mean your father’s. You ' d never guess where I found it. Would you believe it? It was in the pocket of my old apron all the time!” —Julie Carsley. THE STRUGGLE (First Serious) I stood upon a river bank—a river bank at dusk. My soul it seemed had gone from me—my body just a husk, I gazed upon the rising swirls—my mind in bleak despair And hoped to find the courage to end my troubles there. The wind howled out a funeral dirge—a funeral dirge for me, It whipped the lashing waters and beckoned gleefully; And then my eye it chanced upon a struggle in the deep, While the life that I had held with scorn, a creature fought to keep. A little beaver struggled there—struggled there in vain: He fought against that current with all his might and main; His little home was swept away, the bridge that he had hewn Was dashed to pieces gainst the rocks—his little world in ruin. And yet he was not daunted—not daunted or afraid—- He lifted up his little head and for the shore he made; With bated breath I watched him—he ' s there, he’s made the shore—- I breathed a prayer of thankfulness that he could live once more. Then with a sudden knowledge—a knowledge clear and true—- I knew he’d start all over to build his world anew; And as I walked back thru the darkness, my soul at last was light. For from that little beaver I had learned the way to fight. ■—May Farrell, Room 2. The spinster shocked by the language used by two men repairing telephone wires near her house wrote to the company to complain. The foreman was ordered to report the happening to his superior. “Me and Bill Winterbottom were on this job,” he reported. “I was up the telephone pole and accidentally let hot lead fall on Bill, and it went down his neck. Then he called up to me, ‘You really must be more careful, Harry’.” fifty-two THE ANALECTA GOD’S GREATEST WORK (Second Serious) Why is it that the skies above are blue?—- The fleecy cloudlets of the purest white? What makes the evening sky that crimson hue? What makes the night so dark, the day so bright? What makes the grass beneath my feet so green; A velvet carpet sweeping o’er the lea? And how the sun shines softly on this scene And yet disturbs it not, I cannot see. And then again I often wonder why The daisies nod their heads when breezes blow— The breezes that come gently stealing by, Then disappear—oh, whither do they go? God only knows the answer to these “whys”; ’Twas He that gave them to me, fresh and new To let me see. He opened wide my eyes And I perceived the beauty in them too. —Betty Watson, Room 2. -«■- PEACE OR PROGRESS (Third Serious) From out of the darkness of the north, A sullen drone is heard; A dim light high up in the heavens Heralds the man-made bird. Under the silver of the moon The big bird wings its way. As in my mind are kindled Thoughts of a bygone day. Not long ago in the “Book of Time”, Over a prairie trail, A daring rider on his horse Rode with the precious mail. Now through man’s great progress The silver bird does fly, And flashes its ' cargo of precious mail Under a startled sky. As in the darkened distance. The plane soon fades from sight. Fate has thus mysteriously fixed One thought in my mind this night. Man must ever strive onward; Progress shall never cease. But, through the growing hours of time. We must ever strive for:—Peace. —David Moulding, Room 4. THE ANALECTA fifty-three TONGUE-TIED (First Humorous) “I’m here asking, Mary dear—- And here he paused awhile To collect his words; With something of a smile, A smile that found its image In a face of beauteous mold, Whose sparkling eyes were peeping From ' broidery of gold. “I’ve come to ask you, Mary dear, If—’’then he stopped again, As if his heart had bubbled o’er And overflowed his brain. His lips were twitching nervously Over what they had to tell, And timed the quavers with the eyes That gently rose and fell. “I’ve come—and then he took her hands And held them in his own, “To ask—’’ and then he watched the buds That on her cheeks had blown. “My pretty dear—’’ and then he heard The throbbing of her heart, That told that love had entered in And claimed its every part. “Oh, don’t tease me,” said she, With just the faintest sigh— “I’ve sense enough to see you’ve come. But what’s the reason why?” “To ask—” and once again his tongue Forebore its sweet message to tell, “To ask—if Mrs. Murphy Has any eggs to sell!’’ —Norman McLean, Room 4. - m SHORT SHORT STORY The seconds sped away like winged measures as the moment of our doom approached. The more timid shook vividly with horror while the brave feigned nonchalance. Every eye was glued on the clock as the hour fast approached. Not a sound could be heard in the room and the sweat beaded on the brow of the man in charge as his action in the next few minutes might change his life. Down the bleak cold marble hall came those footsteps approaching ever nearer our cell. At the door they stopped and there sounded a knock like the falling of an axe. The quaking teacher swallowed nervously and trudged shakily to the door. In walked THE INSPECTOR. —The Collegiate. fifty-four THE ANALECTA DISA CAR OF MINE (Second Humorous) I cranka da car But she wonta run; Theesa automobile Sheesa sawn of a gun. Shesa stop in da middle Of da street upa town; I look in da carb’retor But sheesa no drown. I pusha da clutch in. I shaka da wheel, Knocka da brake. Da horn I feel.

SPEED or “It Pays to Take Your Time.” (Third Humorous) This is the age of hurry up, there’s no time to go slow, We’ve just got time to make it, I think you ought to know. Everything is built for speed; the car, the aeroplane. Sometimes I wonder if we are quite sane. For instance, there’s the high-powered car that passes on the hill, They come so close they side-swipe you, your heart seems to stand still. You wonder what they’re driving at, as all choked up with dust, You strive to keep your temper, and mutter in disgust. Then some car you’ll see approaching at a most atrocious speed Right in the middle of the road; imagine some folks ' greed! You recognize the road-hog—I think he’s rightly named, So driving with great caution, you give him all he’s claimed. How lovely on a summer day to calmly bowl along Humming a little tune or maybe singing a song. You’ve a better chance to stop, you know, should disaster loom ahead Than the man who just tore past you,—he probably is dead. So in this age of hurry up, when things are built for speed, Let’s observe the “Stop Signs’’ and loiter while we read. I’ve written these few verses and tried to make them rhyme, In the hope that you ' ll remember that it pays to take your time. —Tom Wilson.

THE ANALECTA eighty-five SENIOR RUGBY The Central Seniors failed to live up to expectations this year, and finished the season in a tie with Crescents behind an undefeated Western team. The team had everything in the way of offensive power, kicking, and passing, but were very weak on defence, especially tackling. Injuries played an important part in the boy’s defeats, with Bert Calloway suffering a broken ankle in the first game, and Jim Lochhead missing the first game due to a wrist injury. John Windsor played the final game wearing a nose protector, and Stan Fairbairn sustained a broken arm in the closing game. The team was coached by Larry Haynes, star end of the Calgary Bronks, who proved to be one of the most efficient and popular coaches Central has ever had. Larry was ablv assisted by Hal Harrison, another Calgary Bronk player. Howard Mitchell, Central backfield star, led the Senior League scorers by a margin of five points. Dune’s total of 21 points was made up of three touchdowns and six singles. The team was well supported by the students with large crowds being on hand for every game. All games were very colorful and spirited, with the traditional school rivalry being carried on both on the field and in the stands. Each school was represented by a band this season, which added greatly to the enjoyment of the games. Western 16 — Central 13 The first game of the season resulted in the most heart-breaking loss ever taken by a Central team. With Central leading by two points with only a few seconds remaining to play, a Western player broke away to run 70 yards for a touchdown, and provide probably the most thrilling finish ever seen in high school rugby in the city. Taking advantage of Central’s weak defence during the first half. Western opened the scoring with an unconverted touchdown in the first quarter. Central brought the score to 5-1 when Mit¬ chell kicked and the Western receiver was brought down behind his line. A Central fumble on the 25 yard line resulted in another five points for Western. Mitchell lifted a beautiful kick which resulted in another rouge for Central, making the score 10-2 at half time. After the rest period, Cen¬ tral’s attack began to click and they took command of the play. Behind some beautiful blocking, Mitchell and Calloway hammered at the line with Mitchell finally going over for a major score, making the score 10-7. Western added another single when Boucher was caught behind his line. Opening the final quarter, Calloway took a weak Western kick and carried it to Western’s five yard line. From there Mitchell crossed the line on the first down to make the score 12-11 in favor of Central. Mitchell made it 13-11 with an¬ other nice punt. Western started a determined march but Central dug in and held. Then, with only time for one play, McNeil of Western ran seventy yards for a touchdown, making the final score 16-13. Central 8 — Crescents 1 Central were easily full value for their victory in a very hard-fought game. Crescents threatened in the first quarter when Shantz ran forty-five yards and was in the open when he was brought down from behind by a spectacular tackle by Rod MacNeill. Crescents scored the first point when MacNeill was rouged. Central moved down the field with Lochhead, Mit¬ chell and MacNeill making five successive first downs. Mitchell then hoisted a long kick to tie the score at 1-1. The score remained unchanged at half eighty-six THE ANALECTA SENIOR RUGBY—Continued. time. Central carried the ball to Crescents five yard line but were penalized ten yards and failed to score. Mitchell kicked another point as the third quarter ended, making the score 2-1. Central recovered a Crescent fumble on the latter’s twenty-five yard line. Mitchell kicked, but the ball lit on the touch line in the end zone, and no point was allowed. Crescents took to the air and Mitchell saved the day by knocking down a scoring pass. Crescents kicked and Lochhead made a beautiful thirty yard run through a broken field. Mitchell got away a long kick for another point to make the score 3-1. Cres¬ cents were desperate and began throwing passes in their own zone. Mitchell made an interception and raced thirty yards for a touchdown. The convert was missed and the game ended with Central worthy of their 8-1 triumph. Lochhead and Mitchell did some spectacular running for Central, while Wal¬ lace, Irving, Fairbairn and Lochhead stood out on defence. Western 11 — Central 1 Western clinched the championship by their decisive triumph in this game. Central’s offence was good, but again they were weak in tackling and defensive play, and this proved to be the deciding factor in the game. Central opened the scoring early in the first quarter when Mitchell kicked and Werth was down fast for a rouge. Central lost a chance to add to their score when they fumbled on their opponent’s four yard line. MacNeill, Mit¬ chell and Lochhead were doing some nice ball-carrying at this stage of the game. Mitchell got a bad break in the second quarter when the ball took a freak bounce as he was attempting to pick it up, and Western recovered on the fifteen yard line. From there they scored a touchdown to make the score 5-1. Western scored their second touchdown on a beautiful sixty yard run. The convert was good to make the score at half time 11-1. A strong wind was making things difficult for players of both teams. The third and fourth quarters were scoreless, with Central fighting hard to even up the game. A twenty-five yard penalty to Western and some good plunging by Lochhead, Weaver and Mitchell looked promising, but the team failed to score. The game ended with the boys still in there trying, but being unable to pick up any points. Crescents 11 — Central 1 The final game of the season, although it meant very little to either team, was hard fought and provided a highly exciting sixty minutes of foot¬ ball for a fairly large crowd. Central ' s chances for a victory were lessened greatly in the second quarter when Stan Fairbairn was taken out of the game with a broken arm. A fumble on the opening kickoff gave Crescents posses- SENIOR RUGBY TEAM First Row—Stan Fairbairn, Hilton Boucher (Quarter Backs); Bert Calloway, Howard Mitchell, Jim Lochhead (Halves).

The team tightened up and held on the five yard line, however, forcing their opponents to take only a single point by rouging Lochhead. In the second quarter, Mitchell got away a long kick and Irving was down to nail the Crescent receiver for a point. Mitchell intercepted a pass and ran twenty-five yards before he was brought down in Crescent territory. Half time came with the score remaining unchanged at 1-1. In the t hird quarter Central started a drive but lost all their advantage when Crescents got away a very long kick, A very unpopular penalty to Central in the final quarter gave Crescents the ball on the fifteen yard line, and from there they went over for their first touchdown. After running the kickoff back thirty-five yards, they went steadily up the field, and finally pushed over their second touchdown to finish the game with an 11-1 triumph. Again it was Central’s weakness in tackling which resulted in defeat, but the boys gave their best, and we may feel justly proud of the 1938 Senior Team. INTERMEDIATE RUGBY The Intermediates were unable to gain a win all season, and finished at the bottom of the league. The boys displayed winning form in several games, but let down long enough to let the opposition collect enough points to triumph. A lack of substitutes was responsible for a large part of the T HE ANALECT A eighty-nine JUNIORS Back Row—George Snell, Don Head, Miles Patterson, Art Davis (Coach), Grant Dunsmore Jack Rhodes, Louis Michaels.

INTERMEDIATE RUGBY—Continued. trouble. Another factor which worked against the team’s chances of success was the unwillingness to co-operate in practice of some of the players, and we hope this will not be in evidence next year. The team was coached by Bob Harrison, last year’s Senior Coach, who was handicapped this season by a lack of time due to working hours. Bob was assisted by Bob Bateman. - • - JUNIOR RUGBY The Juniors also finished at the bottom of their league, but had the satisfaction of winning one game. They defeated the strong St. Mary’s squad 8-5, in a game featured by Pete Reid’s plunging and Roy Brandreth’s kicking and quarterbacking. The team was coached by Art Davis, a last year ' s Senior star, who spent a great deal of time with the boys and did a good job. Mr. Finn also took an active interest in the team. -®- THE GORDON EMERY MEMORIAL CUP This year’s winner of the Gordon Emery Memorial Cup is Frank Wallace, star linesman of the Central Seniors for the past two seasons. The cup is awarded annually to the most valuable player on the Senior Team by the Kappa Zeta Beta Sorority. ninety THE ANALECTA THE GORDON EMERY MEMORIAL CUP—Continued. The job of the Selection Committee was very difficult, with such stars as Stan Fairbairn, last year’s winner, Howard Mitchell, Jim Lochhead and several others to pick from. However, Frank’s ability at blocking and tack¬ ling, plus his unbeatable spirit, finally decided the committee. Their decision proved to be very popular with the other members of the team and the student body. To Frank we offer our heartiest congratulations, and, as he will not be here next year, we hope that the Committee will choose a worthy successor to receive the honor. -$- SENIOR HOCKEY Central’s Senior Hockey Team, much to the surprise of the hockey enthusiasts in the school, won their way into the playoffs where they were defeated by Western. This is the best showing the school has made since Les Thirlwell’s 1935 squad won the championship. Central finished with a total of six points, obtained from two wins over St. Mary’s and a game defaulted by Crescents. This gave the boys a two point margin over Crescents and the right to oppose Western, who were undefeated in the finals. Jim Clark turned in some spectacular goal-keeping and was not to blame for any of the high scores during the season. Jim Lochhead was the scoring threat on the team and led the scoring, though he missed three games. Another feature was the playing of the “kid line’’ at the end of the season. Cam MacDougall, Bud Cartwright, and Ian Horton, the latter two being Juniors, formed a fast, smart forward line which should be heard from next year. The team was coached by Bob Bateman and Bob Nies, members of last year’s Senior Team. Line-up of Team: Goal—Jim Clark. Defence—Bill Cole, Hu Harries, Ian Hay. Forwards—Rod McNeill, Gene Totten, Jim Lochhead, Cam Mc- Dougall. Bud Cartwright, Ian Horton, Stan Fairbairn, A1 Fearey, Ross Logan, Jim Ward, Hilton Boucher, Oakley Naftel. JUNIOR HOCKEY The Juniors had a tough season this year, as they failed to win a game. They played hard, however, and with a few breaks might have picked up some points, as three of their games were lost by close margins. Outstanding players on the team were Bud Cartwright, Ian Horton and Jack Staines. The team was coached by Art Davis, who did an excellent job consid¬ ering the reserve material he had to work with. Line-up of team: Goal—Hollatt, Scutchings. Defence—Staines, Horton, Head. Forwards—Robertson, Cartwright, Collins, Stubbs, Wetherall, Ken¬ nedy, Jamieson, Hahn, Dunsmore. THE ANALECTA ninety-one BOYS’ BASKETBALL Handicapped by lack of an adequate gymnasium, the Central boys who played basketball decided to put a team in the Interscholastic League. It was a sporting gesture on their part, as the other two high schools were not only well-equipped with playing space, but had players who were experienced and had been together for two years at least. “Benny” Dwarkin, th e “mighty atom,” captained the squad and accounted for many of the plays that moved the ball up to the basket. Gordon Irving was the high scorer. Bill Pippard and Alton Ryan were the mainstay of the defence. Roberts and Harries worked with Dwarkin in the scoring positions. Dietiker, Langham, Allan and Woolverton proved to be effective substitutes. Although the team fin¬ ished far down below the cellar, there was no game where they quit trying. BOYS’ TRACK MEET Although Central ' s showing was anything but pleasing to the students of our school, the 1938 Track Meet was one of the best yet staged. A large colorful high school crowd filled Mewata Stadium on a day which began in ideal fashion, but later was marred by a strong north wind. Several records were broken as Western won handily over Crescent Heights, with Central in third place. Bert Thirlwell, former Central star, captured the D class medal with a total of 12 points. Bert set a new high jump record of 5 ft. 9 ins., bettering by 2 ins. the mark held by Pete McRae, another ex-Central star. The spectators were privileged to watch the most spectacular running of the two-mile race in the history of the event. John Doyle of Western finally broke the tape one foot in front of Foreman of Crescents, setting a new record by several seconds. Outstanding for Central was Ted Geffen, who failed by two points to win the B class medal, taking first place in the standing broad jump and third in the shot put. Jack Rhodes picked up one point for a fourth place in the shot put. Central finished third in the relay to collect two more points, making a total of ten points. Only three points were obtained in C class, with Pete Reid taking fourth place in the running broad jump, and the relay team fin ishing third. Dawn Fairbairn was Central ' s best performer in D class, tying for second place in the high jump, and coming fourth in the running broad jump. Bud Lennox took third place in the shot put. Central finished third in the team race, with the runners coming in in a group. John Impey finished in ninth place, Noel Langham tenth, Gordon Bried eleventh, and I. Morris thirteenth. Chuck Hamilton and Art Johnson also competed. With Western having such a decided advantage, we do not expect to win many laurels at the Track Meet this year. However, if all the boys interested in track will get out and practice and work hard, we can be in there showing the old Central spirit to the end. -$- CENTRAL SKI CLUB The Central Ski Runners, although in the infancy of its first year, accomplished a great deal. Soon after the club was organized, they had the club championship at Shouldice and the ability of the skiers surpassed all ninety-two THE ANALECTA CENTRAL SKI CLUB—Continued. expectations. Neil Carr took first place with Gordon Bried being runners up. Later in the season, the Central Ski Runners competed in the Inter¬ scholastic Ski Meet and won the championship with flying colors, beating Western Canada High School by a six-second margin. Next year, even greater things are expected of this club. There are some excellent skiers among the undergraduates and they will have the advantage of the past season’s experience.

At the first meeting nearly twenty-five members turned out and elected the following executive: President, Malcolm Mackenzie: Secretary, Bruce Collins: Treasurer, Fred Mackay. A round has been played at the Municipal Golf Course to set the handi¬ caps in order to play a match between the members in the club. The six low scorers will also represent the school in case of interscholastic competitions. This club is believed to be one of the first of its kind in the city and the members are looking forward to a successful season. GIRLS’ BASKETBALL House League. This year the House League was organized and got under way early in the New Year. It was comprised of six teams, each made up of seven players. The girls wish to express their appreciation to Mr. Churchill for his keen interest in the House League. The Red Wings came out on top after two strenuous games in the playoffs against the Canadians to win the coveted Kappa Zi Trophy.

THE ANALECTA ninety-five THE FENCING CLUB This club was started in the school this year under the instruction of Captain O. Millard with Miss Hobbs as honorary president. Although the club had a rather small membership, it is expected that next year with addition¬ al accommodation and equipment, it is expected that this will be a very popular club for the girls. The enthusiastic fencers have improved consider¬ ably during this term. The members and officers were: Honorary President... Miss Hobbs President . Deidre Hughes Secretary-Treasurer . Gwendolyn McLean Members: Gertrude Carlyle, Florence Chambers, Aileen Filteau, Sheila Gray, Olive Millard and Hazell Moore. SLEEP To rest, with the voluntary exercise of the powers of the mind suspended is the most vigorously practised art of college life. This art has been devel¬ oped to such a degree that we find it with our meagre vocabulary impossible to adequately discuss this subject intelligently. Sleep is practised from morn till night, so that it will be done properly when one has a chance to use it. The positions of reclining are numerous and varied, the two most prevalent being the one-leg and slouch. But, since students are usually in a sitting posture, the slouch position is the most com¬ monly used by scholars who are interested in day-time sleeping. (Note: The author knows of none that aren’t.) Science has proven that students think better with their feet above their heads. Therefore we consider this a gigantic step towards achieving greater knowledge in any profession. These unfortunates who have not partaken of this step towards greater efficiency should begin at once. The idea is to get his feet as high as possible and his head as low. In order to do this one must relax every muscle, and by doing this allow themselves to form a greater declivity of their lumbar region. Along with this is the art of yawning between 9 a.m. and 12 a.m. This has been perfected to such a degree that it has almost eliminated all amateurs. They have reached the highest stage of development in eight yawns of noted quality, i.e., reserved yawns, high-toned yawns, suppressed yawns, protracted yawns, scanty yawns, bored yawns, illegitimate yawns and unnatural yawns. This topic is too deep and intensive to go into in more detail here. Further information on this subject can be obtained from any student. -« ®� --- TRAGEDY IN FOUR ACTS— ’’Cram — Exam — Fail — Wail !” —The Collegiate. ninety-six THE ANALECTA ODE TO A WEARY STUDENT Student, student, burning bright Electric lights late in the night.

Under the capable leaderhip of Miss James, the girls have discussed various topics of interest. “The Early History of Calgary’’ was reviewed by the members during the fall, and Miss Nicol, one of Calgary’s Old Timers, was the guest speaker. Several other speakers have attended the weekly meetings, their topics mainly con¬ cerning the vocations open to girls. During the year the club has conducted numerous activities. At the beginning of the term, it welcomed all new girls to the school at a supper social. They convened a pop and candy sale at the Valentine Lit., and held their one great social event, an annual party in March. The club has also performed several other services for the school.

The chief activities of the club this year were embodied in a campaign to raise funds to send delegates to the Hi-Y Conference at Winnipeg. These efforts ter¬ minated in a very successful dance, the “Triangle Trip,” held late in March. The club also sent representatives to the Annual Hi-Y Conference at Camp Hector. Linder the directorship of Alton Ryan, junior Hi-Y Clubs were in¬ stalled in the city, and early in May the annual church service was held at Wesley United Church. Central’s representatives are: Bob Bateman, Stan Fairbairn, Art Davis, Bob Pulleyblank, and Bill Stuart: while Alton Ryan, lim Love and Jim Ward were representatives at Central from Clubs at the Y.M.C.A. -- THE KAPPA GAMMA CLUB The Kappa Gamma is a club of the Y.W.C.A., which provides a con¬ necting link between the “Y’’ and Calgary High School girls. The club originally established the Girls’ Hi-Y clubs in the various schools. This year under the capable leadership of Miss Louise Thirlwell, the girls have bene¬ fited by many interesting discussions, speakers and social activities. Central’s representatives for 1938-39 are: Mary Louise Smith (Hi-Y) and Jaqueline Tempest. Representatives for 1937-38 were: Pat Turner, Norma Christie, Mar¬ garet Willox and Dorothea Stuart. T H E ANALECTA one hundred, and. one THE CURRENT EVENTS CLUB The Current Events Club entered its 3rd year of activity with a spirit of enthusiasm previously unequalled.

THE DRAMATIC CLUB This year the Dramatic Club, under the capable directorship of Miss Kaulbach, presented several very successful plays. Owing to the addition of Dramatics to the curriculum, a keen interest was taken in the club, not only by Grade XII but also by Grade XI students. “Highness”, a story of the Russian Revolution was first presented at the Valentine Lit. and repeated a second time at the March Concert. The cast consisted of four girls: Gwen Henderson as Anne Borodin, Margaret MacCaulay as Anastasia (Highness), Jean Nelson as Comrade Gregory, and Jean Redman as Paul Orloff, the commodore who saved “Highness” from a revolutionary death. Two other plays were prepared for the March Concert. “Michael”, a serious play set in the humble hut of a poverty-stricken shoemaker in Russia, was the star performance. In it Jeannette Munroe very ably portrayed the life of a poor peasant’s wife and Isobel Farr the small daughter, Aniuska Maurice Silver, the shoemaker, befriended Michael, the man who brought THE ANALECTA one hundred and three THE DRAMATIC CLUB—Continued. good fortune to the poor family which aided him. The title role was forcibly acted by Rollie Mayhood. Others in the cast were: Marjorie Davidson, Max Ninian and two little girls. The third play produced was “Oliver ' s Island,” a light comedy, por¬ traying a boy’s idea of aiperfect life. It opened with a scene in the school room and transferred to the Island where Oliver and Jill, the boy and girl, were rulers supreme. The leading roles were played by Audrey Masson as Jill, and Ian Horton as Oliver. They were supported by Miles Patterson, Ruth Mc¬ Laren, Jim Ward, Pauline Wright, Tom Coulter, Art Follet, Gerald Martin, Fred MacKenzie, Joe Spencer, Bob Buckley, Tom Poapst, Charlie Hamilton, Tom Yearwood, Doug. Austin. The members of the club wish to express their sincere thanks to Miss Kaulbach for her successful and untiring efforts with the club, and also to Dorothea Stuart for her help as assistant director.

THE MARCH CONCERT The March Concert, one of the most outstanding highlights of the year, was presented on March 21st and 22nd under the auspices of the Dramatic Club. The program consisted of three hit plays, “Highness”; “Michael” and “Oliver’s Island.” All three were splendidly produced and marked talent was shown. Record crowds attended each performance. Mr. Beresford with his combined orchestra, ably assisted the club during the intermissions. Thanks are due to Miss Hobbs, Mrs. Carsley, Mr. Dyke and others who assisted in making the Concert a success. - s - THE RUGBY BANQUET In honor of the Rugby Teams, for their staunch fight during the rugby season, a banquet was held on Friday, January 13th. Under the very cap¬ able guidance of Miss Elliot, the Grade XII girls took charge of the arrange¬ ments. The Assembly Hall was decorated beyond recognition with posters and streamers. The tables were smartly decked with placards in the form of rugby balls.

A short program followed and dancing completed one of the greatest social successes in the history of C.C.I. We wish to thank Miss Elliott for her untiring efforts in convening the banquet; the Decoration Committee and Miss James, the Staff, the Senior Girls, and all who assisted in making this event a success. -« - THE C.C.I. BITS Owing to the late assembly of the Council, only two Lits will have been held this year, the Valentine Lit, on February 17th; and one being planned at the time of writing, for May 19th. Due to previous large crowds and lack of accommodation, the Lits are now closed to outsiders. The Valentine Lit was very successfully convened by the Council. The hall was gayly decorated in Valentine settings. A play, “Highness, was presented by Miss Kaulbach with Jean Redman, Jean Nelson, Margaret MacCaulay and Gwen Henderson in the cast. The Girls’ Hi-Y sponsored a splendid pop and candy sale, and with the Swingsters in attendance, danc¬ ing completed a merry evening. The Delta Rho Honor Cup will be presented at the Lit on May 19th. All arrangements were in the hands of the Council. Jackie Elliot heading the program committee and Joan Oliver the decoration committee. We wish to thank the staff and all who assisted in making our social events so successful this year. -«■- THE C.C.I. WEEPER The C.C.I. “Weeper” entered its ninth year of continuous service. The editors started at first with one issue of commercial printing. It was decided, however, that a Gestetner should be purchased so that the Weeper could be enlarged and improved. Scandal has in previous years formed a large part of the paper. Several of the editors Would have liked to drop scandal, but felt that it could not be done. Instead of weakening the paper, the omission of scandal has greatly improved its circulation and quality. The editorial, business and printing staffs co-operated splendidly. Bill Brookes-Avey, as editor, was very capably assisted by David Moulding, Alton Ryan, Hu Harries, Lois MacLean, Audrey Masson, and Jim Love. Jack Denholm and Chester Clark kept the circulation and receipts at a high level, while the printers did their share of the work. The Weeper, this year with a new standard of school journalism, has supported C.C.I. first, last, and always. - • - THE DELTA RHO “HONOUR” CUP The Delta Rho “Honour” Cup, presented annually to the best-all-round male student of Central, was awarded in 1939 to Gordon Irving.

Gordon Irving, popular with the student body, starre d at Senior Rugby and Basketball. He was one of the “do and dare’’ boys who success¬ fully re-organized boys’ basketball at C.C.I. Throughout the year, he has given his help willingly both to teachers and students for the sponsorship of all activities. Gordon, as a member of the newly organized golf club, has again shown his sincere enthusiasm and co-operation in anything for Central. The “Honour” Cup competition was started late in 1937, when Don Dunbar, the best all-round student of that year, was awarded honourable mention. Clarence Bell, the choice of the awarding committee of 1938, was the first to receive the “Honour’’ Cup and the minature. Dawn Fairbairn, a Delta Rho member, received honourable mention.
