A date to be remembered by high school students and other historians for many centuries, but not necessarily because the writer of this article was on the Analecta staff of that year. Compared to the excellent publications produced by students of the present time, the Analecta of 1914 was but a beginning, and yet, in reading it again after all these twenty-six years, one experiences many thrills. Calgary was much smaller in those days and not only were there fewer advertising prospects, but they had not at that time been thoroughly educated to realize the benefits which would accrue to their trade by purchasing space in student jour¬ nals. The writer well remembers working all through the Easter holidays with Herb. Peters, the Editor, to obtain many of those ads , little expecting that twenty-five years later he would be purchasing advertising space in the same magazine. One might moralize at this point and remark that eventually we always pay for our fun. Herbert ' S. Peters! There was a gallant gentleman. Little did we know at that Easter, that within two years we would be in London together on war leave, or that Herb, would lose his life in front of Valenciennes during the last ten days of the Great War, all before his twenty-second birthday. Looking through an old school journal renews old acquaintances, in some cases with a genuine feeling of loss. Of the officers in the senior literary society during the year, at least three have passed on. Clifford Linton, the first president, lost his life in service overseas. We turn the pages to an article entitled A Visit to Portsmouth”, written by Dalton McWilliams, at the time when nine members of the C.C.I. cadet corps were chosen on a team of eleven representing Canada at an Empire Rifle Meet held in England. McWilliams found time to graduate from Grade 12 in his 16th year, in addition to being Champion Junior shot of the British Empire. He also died as a soldier, while in Canada. But all the recollections are not sad, for we see that the business manager for the Analecta that year is still very much in the land of the living. W. McLaws, or Scotty as we knew him then, and if you care to look, you will see his name running all through the book, either as a rugby player, or in track events; is now Captain McLaws in charge of Sports and Recreation for the troops stationed in this district. Not to forget the fair sex, we realize that many of the girls of Grade 12 in that year now have their own sons and daughters in High School. My, how tempus does fugit! But that is not all, for two of their number are now very successful medical doctors practicing in Calgary. Seems to me that Grade 12 turned out some pretty good citizens that year. The building still looks the same from the outside, and when we occasionally enter it, all seems very familiar. One cannot refrain from wondering if the courses are easier than they used to be, because the students we see around do not appear to be as worried as we felt. Perhaps Trig, is now taught in twelve easy lessons. Certainly when we were told that A” represented a rock, B” was a lighthouse, and that was a ship out at ”C , we had a fellow feeling for the ship because we also were at sea. However, it all appears plain now, or does it? One thing is plain after twenty-five years, and that is the privilege of attend¬ ing a school of such high standard as the C.C.I. has always maintained, is a priceless asset in one s life. W. T.

Our future, so earnestly planned and so ardently wished for, has, in these few years, received a good foundation. Now with the determination of youth, and with feet firmly planted, we travel onward to higher ground. During the past few years, which have sped so quickly by, we have known the enjoyment of Clubs—the Athletic Clubs, the Dramatic, the Current Events, the Hi-Y, and the Camera Clubs. Participating in these we have hoped that we may contribute something to C.C.I.’s history and tradition. Our learning has been mingled with the priceless enthusiasm of youth, with laughter, merriment and a song in our hearts. In years to come, when we have scattered into different fields of activity, we shall treasure pleasant memories of hours spent together. Yet the pursuit of knowledge has been our chief concern. Now graduating from High School, we realize the necessity of extending our boundaries of education. Learning to choose wisely, to prepare for the work for which we are best suited, being able to appreciate the beauty of a diffi¬ cult task well done, and realizing that our very best is the least we should ever offer, are the greatest gains from our High School training. We have attained a more confident attitude toward Life and a firm grounding in the rudiments of an education. A few years ago Graduation was a dream to us. Now it is a reality. In those years we have experienced innumerable defeats, yet we have known the satisfaction of work well done. We now depart, not only with dis¬ ciplined minds, but with human insight and sympathies enriched through the comradeship of our classmates. With a higher and wider conception of the dignity of human life, we embark on a new and strange voyage. To the undergraduates who have yet many a mile to travel, we wish our very best. May our errors be their gain, their gains our pride! To the Faculty we offer our gratitude for their understanding and patient endeavours to help us on this road we are “Finishing to Begin . -GWEN ELLIS Q’la uaieA 1 bicJz fenocuH THE ANALECTA fifteen LEAMON CANFIELD—Enjoys Trig, period.

Thou shalt not arrive late, for the stir of thy late coming disturbeth those who did come in due season. 2. Thou shalt harken unto the proceedings with all thy heart and with all thy soul, and with all thy might, and to aid thee in thine endeavour, study thou, thy Screen News and thereby be more fully prepared to garner the blessings of the inspired acting of those who are about to perform. 3. Thou shalt keep in check thy coughings and sneezings, for they are an abomination, and they shall bring evil execrations upon thee, even unto thy tenth and twentieth generations. 4. Thou shalt not rustle thy Screen News, for the noise thereof is not as the murmur of the leaves of the forest, but is harsh and raucous, and sootheth not. 5. Thou shalt not “Yoo-hoo’ ' unto thy relatives, nor any of thy neighbours nor to thy girl-friend, nor to any member of thy Lodge nor of thine household. 6. Thou shalt not whisper, for thy mouthings, how so ever hushed they may be, bring discord to the ears of those who sit about thee. 7. Thou shalt not chew gum with much usage of sound or motion. Remember that thou are not as the kine of the field who do chew the cud in the serenity which is vouchsafed them. 8. Thou shalt not slumber, for in thy slumber thou hast ears but heareth not. Peradventure thou possesseth a rumbling obbligato when thou sleepest and verily the rabble may be aroused thereby to do thee grievous harm. 9. Thou shalt not become a self-ordained critic and with booming voice comment garrulously about the actors or the act ; ng. 10. Thou shalt not hum nor tap thy foot to the music, for thou hast come, not as a performer, and remember that none among the multitude hath paid his admission plus amusement tax to hear thy hummings or thy tappings.

A cow has two stomachs, a main one, and an auxiliary one. When the main is filled, the cow retires to a quiet spot where her ill-breeding shows no restraint as she devotes herself to belching. She has no upper plate, and, as a result, she chews up, and gums down. A cow’s tail is mounted aft and pivots on a universal joint. Her tail has a tassel on the end which is of unique and educational value. When the milker comes in contact with the tassel it creates a vocabulary of peculiar and impressive force. A slice of cow is worth Five Cents in the hands of the producer, Fifty Cents when the butcher sells it, and Two Dollars and Fifty Cents in a restaurant where it is treated to a high temperature. A young cow is called a calf, and is used as a filler for hash and chicken salad. A male cow is called a bull. It is raised on the ‘Prince of Wales’ Ranch ' , fought with in Mexico, and shot in Ottawa when Parliament is in session. THE HORSE AND THE AUTOMOBILE Oh, horse you are a wonderful thing, No buttons to push, no bells to ring, You start yourself, no clutch to slip, No spark to miss, no gears to strip. No license buying every year, No plates to screw on front and rear, No gas bills climbing up each day. Stealing the joys of life away. No speed cops charging in the rear, Yelling a summons in your ear. Your inner tubes are all “okay , And, thank the Lord, they stay that way.

JliteA suf, Cjuien cMendleAA n sixty-eigh 1 THE A N A L ECT A “HONOR, GLORY.” Honor! Glory! These two words that mean so much are the motto of the Empress of India ' s Own Twenty-first Lancers, Indian Army, now en¬ gaged on active service in the North- Vest Frontier of India. The fearsome clouds that had been gathering over Europe had darkened. True, the Empire was at peace—an armed and dangerous peace. Then suddenly the clouds burst, war became a reality. On September third, nineteen hundred and thirty-nine, at eleven a.m., His Majesty’s government announced that a ‘state of war exists between Great Britain and the German Reich . Five hours later, the Republic of France entered the war on the side of Britain. The tramp of the khaki legions of the Allies was heard as the Nazi sons’ of Germany once more took up their arms and trod their road of conquest, a road that was littered with living death and destruction. Strange that the twenty-first Lancers in far-off India became involved. Their job is to keep law and order on the North-West Frontier, where savage tribesmen fight unceasingly against established law and order. This mountainous country, which includes the famous Khyber Pass, necessitates a constant watch being maintained to preserve peace. This was the job of the Twenty- first Lancers, a job they were proud to do in the name of the Emperor of India, George VI. It was natural that Godfrey Cassels became a soldier of the king, for his family had been soldiers for generations. He carried on that family tra¬ dition, such tradition that binds our “empire on which the sun never sets. ' When the second world war broke out, Cassels was on duty in India, land of mystery and intrigue. He served on the North-West Frontier between Afghanistan and British India, where the Union Jack still floats lazily in tepid heat, mighty symbol of freedom and right. Soon after the start of the war, unrest and uneasiness became prevalent among the warlike hillsmen of the Frontier, undoubtedly aroused by agitaticn of enemy operators of the Reich who well understood the unrest that existed amongst India’s teeming millions. Attacks on British garrisons became more frequent, and it was whispered that the fanatic Fakir of Risalsper was again preparing to strike at Britain ' s authority. These brown devils cf the hills struck swiftly and silent¬ ly in the dead of night or the burning heat of mid-day. They left grim evidence, sentries dead with burnished daggers protuding from between their shoulder blades, rifle and ammunition stolen. Ambushes were frequent, small British patrols being wiped out in the hills around the Khyber, ambushed and cut to pieces under the flashing knives of these warlike subjects of India’s hills. It was dangers like these that the 21st Lancers lived in day by day, and it was such dangers that moulded them into a crack fighting regiment. Native horsemen and British officers alike, who lived for the feel of their lances in their hand, riding for the emperor. What a sight they made when on parade, long lines of galloping furbaned Lancers, of jingling chains and polished leather, slender shining lances with their regimental pennons of red and white, riding stiffly in the breeze. Soldier and horse alike ready if necessary to give their lives for the emperor they served—unto death. Each man was proud of the regiment’s traditions, proud of their “Death or Glory Boys title they earned at Balaklava. Every man, from the Colonel to the lowest Sikh was proud of the N.W. Frontier Battle Honour, 1915-18 and with vowed determination they once more strove to uphold the daring, and gallantry of the 21st. Hardly had the second World War started on its path of destruction when the Lancers received their orders to ride into action. To be exact it THE ANALECTA sixty-nine ' HONOR, GLORY’’—Continued. was in late October when word came through to Kobat. the Lancer’s base, that a British garrison stationed near Dandand, close to the Karaffa Pass, was in immediate danger of being wiped out by a large force of hillsmen under the leadership of the Fakir of Risalspir. According to the meagre report, the fort was surrounded, ammunition was running low, and the High¬ land regiment that garrisoned the beleaguered fort, was in great danger of being annihilated. Within the hour that the message was received, the 21st Lancers were saddled and prepared to ride. One could tell what sort of mission the regiment was going on, the cool, steady look in the eyes of the men portrayed their readiness for action. As they lined up in column forma¬ tion, each movement was steady and quick, done in a way that conveyed the impression the Lancers were prepared. A bugle broke through the air, and slowly the regiment began its ride of salvation. Then came hours of steady riding during which no words were spoken, an air of tension existed broken only when a Lancer uttered a curse at a stumbling horse or the creak of harness. After what seemed eternal hours of riding, the regiment came within sight of the stormed garrison, the sharp staccato of rifle fire cut sharply through the air, giving proof that the garrison was still holding out. A short halt was made while the men tended their sweat-flecked mounts, adjusting their harness and equipment. The polished leather and shining skms of the animals alike were covered with dust and sweat, yet their job was yet to be done. Then, at a command, the Lancers remounted and manoeuvred into battle formation. A bugle sounded the advance. Quickly the regiment rolled forward, gathering speed with every step, lances poised in firm hands. What an unforgetable and memorable sight as the 21st Lancers relived once more the gallant days of their predecessors at Balaklava. Now they were at full gallop. The very earth trembled as if to signal their advance, lancers crouched low in the saddle, lances forming a solid hedge of pointed, polished steel. Closer and closer they came; the enemy were trapped; caught between two lines of British fire, but the battle was not an easy one. The fanatic hillsmen fought with redoubled savagery. Crazed with the druq of battle, they threw themselves at the flashing lances. Sikh, Sepoy and Gukhas met in battle on the blistering plain, and as swiftly as the charge had been made, it ended. The enemy lines had been smashed, the 21st had again ridden to victory, but they paid a bitter price for this victory. Many a turbaned lancer lay on that hot death-bed of burninq soil, a red stain marring his khaki tunic with death s grim signature stamped on his face. One of these was Lieuten¬ ant Cassels. Lie, too, fell in that charge of steel, that struggle of soldier against savage. Two days later, at their base at Kobat. the Lancers buried their dead with full military honour, muffled drums and reversed arms. These men had carried out their motto of Honor! Glory!” and had died carrying the lance of the British Raj onward and now they were laid to final rest. This story can be told in many forms as our sons lay down their lives so that we can go on enjoying our heritage—democracy. Lieutenant Cassels is just one of the many examples that gallant sons of the Empire afford. India, France, everywhere, on the sea or high in the heavens, these daring youths are to be found bearing cut their idealism--unto death. Thus, we members of a mighty Empire bow our heads in prayer, in deep, fervent prayer.

Man, the great conqueror, the conqueror of the air, of turbulent seas, the space of our universe, all these; yet all these are as a bitter curse rather than a blessing; for man has left one thing unconquered—War. Men of goodwill abound everywhere in this old world—even within the ranks of warring nations, but their influence is eclipsed by the forces of evil and swamped by the rising tide of warlike hate, both passing phases in the long records of humanity.

I ' ve had lots of both serious and funny accidents. Did you ever hear of anyone riding a dead horse in a race?” Why no. I haven’t, ' said twelve-year-old David Burke. Well, I have. In fact 1 rode one once! Bill said mysteriously. David ' s facial expression underwent a rapid change and emerged strongly disapproving. ”1 bet that’s just another story!” he cried indignantly.

Now go easy on her. just give her a qood run It s beyond her distance, but if you can win. why go ahead.” We qot off nicely and I kept the mare going quietly, but I could feel her wantin ' to run so 1 checked her and tucked in behind the leaders. She was in front, when about the five-eighth pole, she began to weaken. I started to ride her with my hands; (let me tell you. Dave, you can get more out of a horse with your hands than with a whip) but was her distance, and 6V 2 was too far for her. Anyway she led right into the stretch and was coming home fast when, right ,n front of the grandstand she stumbled; went sorta shakv.

I was ready for her and had my feet out of the stirrups, but even then she threw me so hard I bust a collar-bone and a couple of ribs. After they picked the rest of the field off me. they took me to the hospital. I was lyin’ there cussin’ to myself when -, the mare’s owner, came in. He sat down, looked at me for a minute and then said. “Did you know that the mare was dying when she passed the grandstand, and was dead when she passed the post?” I said I didn’t know at first that she was dyin’. but I’d a pretty good guess when she passed the post. I was kind of uncomfortable because if I ' d pulled her up at the head of the stretch, I might of saved her, but he said, “Well. I lost a good horse, but I ' d a lost her any¬ way; some guy claimed her. I ' m not blaming you, I told you to win if you could, and this way 1 got the purse and the claiming money as well. Oh, here ' s your share of the money. I hope you’re up and around soon.” And he shook hands with me and left. I tell you. Dave, I was feelin’ kinda glad that that guy, whoever he was, claimed the mare. “Gee, Bill, are all the stories about a race-horse’s courage true?” “Most of them, Dave. The ones about them never quittin no matter what the odds, are practically always true. Do you remember hearing about a horse in the east, who broke both forelegs at the head of the stretch yet went on to finish the race? The boy who rode him was crying when he got off, and the horse’s eyes were all red and bloodshot with nain. but he kept trying to get up from where he’d fallen at the finish. That kind of horses are thoroughbreds, Davie! But we gotta feed them horses, listen to ’em. We’ll leave this tack till later on. after lunch maybe.

In fact, I intend to do it myself! Posh!” “Drat it, Matilda, I’ll show you. I’m willing to bet any given amount of any given money that I not only can. but will do it! And in this vociferous manner did Eustace Bunting announce to his fiery aunt that he could and would perform a successful seance. ‘Given money is right, snorted the sceptic aunt. She paused to watch the effect of this quip, on Eustace. He winced obligingly. “Eustace, she resumed, in the sepulchral tones of a pastor preaching a Repentance of Sins’ service, “Eustace.

Of course it would work—he hoped. “Taken,” he mumbled half-heartedly. “And just wait, Matilda, just wait!” • _ “I am waiting!” She stalked out. Eustace Bunting spent the morning at the office, but returned home in the early afternoon. He went immediately to his work room in the base¬ ment, and was not seen again until his wife announced dinner. At dinner, he appeared a trifle strained, but otherwise normal. His wife laughed merrily, his son looked bored, and Aunt Matilda affected a scornful amusement. When the dinner things were cleared away, Eustace rose in his place and said, in the manner of a jailor to the condemned, “Are you ready, Matilda?” “Yes, Eustace, quite ready,” was the grim reply. He led the way to a small room in the basement, which he had cur¬ tained off from the rest. There were three chairs facing the center of the tiny cubicle. Matilda and Mrs. Bunting sat down, the former stiffly, the latter with a soft chuckle. Eustace turned out the lights. It was dark. In¬ tensely, weirdly dark. A glowing circle of phosphorescent light appeared close to the floor in the center of the room. Matilda screamed. “That.” said Eustace, “is a psychic trumpet. A conical piece of tin, with a luminous band painted in the middle.” Matilda heaved a sigh of relief and said nervously, “Hurry up. I have knitting to do.” “Concentrate, please. Make your minds a complete blank. It shouldn’t be hard for you, Matilda.” A snort echoed in the darkness. “Keep your eyes on the trumpet, please.” Then Eustace began to mumble, at first slowly, then rising in pitch. He stopped, suddenly, and all was silent. Oppressingly silent. He spoke again, but this time his vcice was clear and deathly like a voice from a tomb. O spirits of those departed, hear my summons. Hear it, and make a sign that it is heard.” Mrs. Bunting uttered a startled gasp. The gleaming circle rose, shakily at first, then bobbed three times, and remained in the air, directly before Matilda. O spirit, if it is within thy power, speak, what is thy name?” A sepulchral voice chanted, “I am Elias Bunting. I have a message.” Who is it for, and what is it, O spirit?” “Matilda Bunting!” Y-Y-Y-Yes, Elias.” quavered Matilda. “Matilda Bunting, doubt net the powers of the dead, or woe, -_” the voice trailed away into silence; the trumpet fell to the floor with a thud. Eustace switched on the lights. That’s all for this time, folks. A little difficult to hold my ’control’ in an hostile atmosphere. But enough to win my twenty-five dollars, please, Matilda. Hey!

Central support was simply swell, as chosen charming cheerleaders chucked chatter to in- j spire the gridders with the rigmarole of rav- | aging rival rampagers in their respective di¬ visions. Our senior team was truly great this year. Such ends as Bullet Brooks, Ham Hanbury, I Pres. Harries and Gene Totten, with tenac¬ ious tackles tipped tentative team tallies.

Without letting us get our first semester under steam Hitler declared war on every¬ body everywhere and with blood and bones and gore all over Europe the students of Cen¬ tral kept plugging away. The outbreak of war caused a great deal of money to change hands, not via Wall Street but in the Maginot and Siegfried Lines where thousands of sol¬ diers had to do something and so poker was played. Millions of tons of shipping, still the stu¬ dents of Central plug on. Meanwhile Deladier had to do something about the deplorable poker condition in the Maginot line and so purchased a thousand footballs for the troops. As if they didn t have enough to kick about. The Russians started dropping troops in Finland by parachute. This was bad for the soldiers morale tho, knowing that the only way to get back to one’s base was to find an elevator going back up. News reports were very jumbled from this front. Up until the peace treaty we didn ' t know whether the Russians were rushing the Finns or whether the Finns were finishing the Russians. The Big Bear finally annexed part of Finland but if a dozen guys named Tiatsi have anything to say about it they won’t keep it long. Der Feuhrer whipped himself into a furore again and swept through Denmark (I cry when I think of the poor Danes) and on into Norway. Experts say they made a Trojan Horse entrance but it looks more like a plain old inside job to me. All this time England’s been suffering many air-raid casualties, but Nev.” hasn ' t forsaken his umbrella yet and is still in there plugging. That umbrella’s been doing great things. It’s liable to become a national emblem like Rus¬ sia’s sickle and Germany ' s swastika. Looks though as if the French had better get busy or their Fleur de Lily will be resting on their chest instead of in their hand. - $ - GUEST EDITORIAL By Joe Spencer. As this is the first issue of a new paper and as no new paper would be complete without a guest editorial, my most illustrious friend T. O. Poapst, manager, publisher, editor and reporter for this paper asked me to write a short guest editorial. So without further ado I shall delve into the depths of my imagination and see if 1 can cook up a guest editorial. Now in writing guest editorials you have only two things to worry about—whether it ' s good or bad. If it is good you have nothing to worry about, but if it is bad there are only two things to worry about—whether it really smells or if it is just smells. If it just smells you haven’t much to worry about, but if it really smells you’d better tear it up and try again. (So with this minute particle of phil¬ osophy I tear up my ninth editorial). Well, I ' ll try again. Can’t think of any¬ thing to write about (you know I haven’t been able to think since that Saturday night when I-but that ' s another story). What subject could I write about for a guest edi¬ torial? You know people write guest editor¬ ials on a lot of subjects—on the paper itself, on school spirit and everything, but I can never think of anything to write about. I could write about a guest editorial but I ve used up all my space so I suppose I d better stop. I hope that the guest editorial next year will be better, so till 1941,— So long, J. A.

I ' d believe almost anything. In September, 1938, Hitler said: Our im¬ mediate neighbors have our assurance of the integrity of their territory. This is our sol¬ emn will.” Well, Austria, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Denmark and Norway now know that Der Feuhrer is never more dangerous than when crossing his heart. Ralph Goodchild is the only circulation manager I ve ever seen who doesn ' t wear a double-breasted suit. But why should his suit be built that way? He has an extra chest down about his belt line.

That old thing about April Showers bring¬ ing May Flowers now has changed to May Showers bring June Brides. THE POAPST POTTER PIPER PAPER C.C.I. RUGBY IN RETROSPECT (Continued) passes to pixilated backs who picked pin holes in opposing play formations. Such prancing pigskin toters as Premier Lochhead. Zeke Weaver, Dugal Tempest, Rock McNeil, Air Pockets Fo ' lett, Hank Libin, and Marble ' Arch Knight, cut precarious capers to claim carriage of campus colors. The quarterback duties were handled by Butch Boucher (known to his friends as Hiltie) and Synco¬ pated Allen. Their silver-tongued signal¬ calling thrilled and chilled the fans and dis¬ tilled the blood of the team. Farminganeeee Tims performed real well on the bottle, running through the season with the remarkable record of only one bottle brok¬ en, two chipped and one lost (I think Harries swallowed this last one). In all, the team performed very well considering they had the continual worry of the war on their minds. In intermediate ranks, about a dozen guys named Joe did great things for the glory of Central. They were the fiqhtingest bunch of athletes ever produced in this school. 1 he fighting spirit reached the peak when one fellow, who I won’t mention personally (but I think you can guess that it was Doug. Austin), was liquidated from play by the local police force. Jack Joyus” Staines called signals for a great backfield, compo ' ed of Ian Stuart, Bob McKay, Phil McNab. Line. Mc¬ Millan, Bill Love and Jock McBeth. Yes, the intermediates did great things. Bob Hahn, super-star tackle, blocked a kick, and Kirk Woolverton scored a touchdown. Corbet played a great tackle game, collaborating with Howie Griffiths and Cec. Keeping to smother some of the opposing plays. Yes, the intermediates did great things. The Juniors were led by Five Goal Brandreth and nobody can tell me that they wouldn’t have won the championship if he hadn ' t gone and got himself hurt in practice. Although they suffered many reverses their spirit was never dampened and that ' s a lot to say for any club. They seemed kinda light but I guess that ' s to be expected seeing as there’s a weight limit but each member of the team was 110 lbs. of heart and spirit. Ian Jamison (he wore my pants) filled in Brand- reth’s piace at fullback and did a good job. Charlie Kennedy and Pete Reid played out¬ standing games and backed up a rather flimsy line. The line would have been better if they had cooperated a little more instead of every man tryna kill a guy separately. Just wait till Albert Kipnes gets heavy enough to play Junior, that ' ll be the year. Award of the best tack ' e of the year goes to the purse-snitcher catcher, J. A. Spencer, Jr. Sloppy Joe” showed his agility in nab¬ bing a sneak-thief in the act of hurtling a huge fence. The shoe-string tackle tipped the fellow and he was hea ' thily subdued by Spencer and Bull—I mean Bill, Love. STEW STORY This is strictly off the record, but I have brought to light the story of an inebriated student (2 bits he’s from Western) who | celebrated not too wisely but too well the other night. He is first seen on a street : corner, leaning on a lamp post, trying to | climb up to escape the elephants chasing him. A policeman comes up to him and speaks: What are you doing here? Waiting for a shtreet car, dearie. Why, man, it’s pouring rain, said the cop. Yeah. said the stew, and I’ve been wait- | ing here, getting diluted for twenty minutes. No shtreet car would come! Why didn’t you wait under the awning over there? asked the cop. I did, slobbered the stew, but it didn ' t j do any good. Shtill no shtreet car! The cop moved him along and he went up a side street and. seeing a purty red gate, J decided to go in, remembering once that he j had a friend who had a red gate. Seems j he didn ' t know it was four in the morning, so | he sauntered (staggered is the word) up to | the door and rang the bell severial times. A I half-asleep old fellow came to the door and said sweetly, What can I do for you, sir? (Or something to that effect.) Our inebrite said, quote: Are you Mishter j Jones? No, I’m not! shouted the flouted fellow. Then why did you answer the door?” The next few minutes must be left out due to technical reasons, but our hero found him¬ self back at the little red gate, holding it up with the seat of his pants. In the park across th� street, he encounter¬ ed a bench and when he ran into the usual tramp (every park has one) he traded him a short one for his newspaper. An ad. said. Wanted, a travelling companion for an African hunting expedition.” Noting the ad¬ dress, he started on his wav. Sharp at T45 a.m. he arrived, and pounding on the door he brought the explorer to the front entrance, shot gun and all. Are you the chap that advertised for an African travelling adventurer? Yes, I am. Well, I should like to shtate shir, that under no circumshtances shall I even consider going with you, Good-day! And, as most of them do. this stew ended up in the jug with his jug.

He loved to bully them and because he had sharper teeth and longer claws than they, he soon made himself boss of the neighborhood. Some of the other mice were strong and clever too, but he got rid of them by sly and slimy means. He would push them into mouse-traps or block off their holes so that the cat got them. Finally he was in complete control. Still he was not satisfied. He moved across the road to the church. Here he found something that pleased him immensely, for church mice as you know, are very thin and poor, so he fell on them and beat them, and stole all their belongings and drove them into the street. Yet he planned for even greater things. He went from mouseland to mouseland, into the richest pantries of the mouse-universe. They were lands that flowed with milk and honey and he (being a sloppy eater), the honey clung to his face and the dirt particles made a little scraggly mustache on his ferret face. He had by this time committed every crime mousily (or should I say humanly) pos¬ sible, and realized a life long ambition to be¬ come a rat. At last he took another great step. He walked away from mouseland hoping to subject some nobler beasts. For a time his fierceness and treachery stood him in good stead, but at the last report he had joined forces with a pole-cat and seemed headed for a fall. For what combination could not whip skunk-rat union. IF YOU DON ' T LIKE THE HUMOR IN THIS PAPER TAKE IT WITH A GRAIN OF Bath’s Salt Auto ufa.

Once again our pupils have shown their ability to match their brain power with the best in the city, and last year succeeded in winning the following awards: The R. B. Bennett Scholarship, Grade XII—Mary Louise Smith. The R. B. Bennett Scholarship, Grade XII Ted Pulleyblank. The McKillop Scholarship, Grade XI—Marjorie Jones. The R. B. Bennett Scholarship, Grade X- -Grace Beresford. The R. B. Bennett Scholarship, Grade X—Walter Luyendyk. In winning the R. B. Bennett Scholarship for Grade XII, Mary Louise Smith and Ted Pulleyblank climaxed their High School careers. Since com¬ ing to Central High in 1936, these two students have won the R. B. Bennett Scholarship successively in 1936, 1937, 1938 and 1939. This is an enviable record and one which we predict will not be duplicated for a long time to come. To these two students, who are now attending Alberta University, we say CONGRATULATIONS on past performances, and Good Luck for the Future. We were very fortunate in having Mr. Bennett present the scholar¬ ships in person. During his short visit to Calgary last fall, he found time to come to Central in order to give an inspiring talk to the student body and to present the scholarships. THE A N A E ECTA eigh t i-tli vce THE DELTA RHO HONOR CUP This cup is awarded annually to the best all-round male student at Central. The cup was first presented in 1937, and since then it has grown in importance until the present time when it is considered one of the highest awards attainable. Points are given for scholastic ability as well as for activity in or support of school sports and projects. Gordon Irving was the winner of the cup last year. This year the committee had little difficulty in choosing Art Follett whose ability in studies, sport, and a wide range of other activities, made him the obvious choice. THE FRANCIS WOOLVERTON MEMORIAL CUP This is the first year that this cup has been put up for competition. It is similar to the Delta Rho cuo, but is awarded to the Grade XII girl who is judged to be the best all-round student. Jeanette Crawford was presented with the trophy this year. Congratulations! THE GORDON EMERY MEMORIAL CUP This trophy was donated by the Kappa Zeta Beta Sorority and is presented annually to the player who is the most valuable player on the Senior Rugby Team. This is considered the most important trophy in the school’s sport, and was won this season by Bob Weaver, full-back. Bob played first-class rugby all year, was always in the thick of the fight, and fully merited the award. THE ICE CREAM CAN TROPHY The Boys ' Hi-Y donated this trophy in order to stimulate greater interest in Basketball at Central. It is presented annually to the team win¬ ning the Boys’ House League. At the Analecta Lit., the trophy was presented to the winning team through its co-Captains, Tom Poapst and Ronnie Davidson. Members of the team were: Tom Poapst, Ronnie Davidson, Stew. Wright, Doug. Greenfield, Art. Johnston, Gill Dietiker, Albert Kipnes. THE KAPPA ZI BASKETBALL TROPHY In one of the best seasons of Girls’ Basketball at Central, the Rangers finally emerged as victors of the five-team league. In winning the league, righ ty-fou TIIU ANALECTA THE KAPPA ZI BASKETBALL TROPHY Continued. the team also won the coveted Basketball Trophy donated by the Kappa Zi Sorority.

Jim Ward, Archie Campbell. Tom Link. THE KAPPA ZI TRACK TROPHY The annual Track Meet is one of the highlights of the sport year, and Central has always made a good showing. To the girl who wins the most points for Central at the meet, the Kappa Zi awards the above trophy. At the time of writing, it had not been awarded for this year, but the last year winner was Dorothy Stanford. THE DELTA RHO JACKET To stimulate greater interest in Track Events among the students at Central, this award was donated to the students winning the most points for Central in both boys’ and girls’ track events. Last year was the first year of the award, and honors were divided by Cecil Keeping and Charlie Ken¬ nedy, who each received a splendid jacket for their efforts, and Dorothy San¬ ford who led the girls ' section of the meet. THE BOYS’ HI-Y CRESTS The Boys’ Hi-Y has always taken as its responsibility, the promotion of interest in the Track Meet. For this reason, when this interest seemed to be lagging among the male students, the Hi-Y awarded crests to the winners of each class in the school elimination. The winners of these crests last year were: Fred Wetherall, Charlie Kennedy, Bill Cummer, Cecil Keep¬ ing, lan Stuart, Stan. Fairbairn, Bill Cole, Bill Werth, Archie Campbell, Les. Libin, Rod McNeill, Albert Feary, THE ANALECTA eicjh ty-fivc THE AWARD SYSTEM This year, the Boys Hi-Y undertook the selling of school sweaters. From this, there sprang up the idea of an award system, whereby letters, to be worn on these sweaters, would be awarded to those students who proved themselves superior in different phases of school life. After much discussion, the Students Council decided to give to a maximum of twenty Grade XI and XII students who would be picked by a committee for their all-round ability, a large C to replace the one on the school sweater. These would be known as letter men, and would receive their awards at the Graduation Banquet, The committee of selection con¬ sisted of the Principal, the Vice-Principal, the President of the Students ' Council, and two representatives from the Students ' Council. Those receiving awards were: Alton Ryan -Rugby (3 years): Senior Basketball (1 year): Council (2 years); Analecta (4 years), Editor 1939-40: Weeper (2 years) ; Dramatics; Hi-Y (3 years).

It ' s believed to be a classic in the way of claims. 14th September, 1933. Gentlemen: The soullessness of corporations such as yours is astounding. Let me review my case. I carry an accident Policy DX-567843 in your company, by the terms of which you agreed to pay me $25.00 a week during such time as I was prevented from working because of an accident. A week ago I went around on Sunday morning to inspect a new apart¬ ment house that is being built for me. I climbed the stairs, or rather the ladder now located where the stairs will be when the house is finished, and on the top floor I located a pile of bricks which were not needed there. Feeling industrious, I decided to remove the bricks. In the elevator shaft was a rope and pulley and on one end of the rope was a barrel. I pulled the barrel up to the top, and, after climbing the ladder, fastened the rope firmly to the bottom of the shaft. Then I climbed the ladder again, and filled the barrel with bricks. Down the ladder I went again, five stories, mind you, and untied the rope to let the barrel down. The barrel was heavier than I was, and, before I had time to study the proposition, I was going up the shaft with my speed increasing every second. I thought of letting go of the rope but, before I had decided to do so, 1 was so high up that it seemed more dangerous to let go than to hang on. So I held on. Half way up the elevator shaft I met the barrel of bricks coming down. The encounter was brief but spirited. I got the worst of it and continued on my way toward the roof. That is most of me went on, but my epidermis clung to the barrel and returned to earth. Then 1 struck the roof at the same time as the barrel struck the cellar. The shock knocked the breath out of me and the bottom out of the barrel. Then, I was heavier than the empty barrel, and 1 started down the shaft while the barrel started up. We met in the middle of our journey, and again the barrel uppercut me, pounded my solar plexus, barked my shins, bruised my body, and skinned my face. When we became disentangled, I resumed my journey downward, and the barrel went higher. Soon I was at the bottom and stopped so suddenly that I lost my remarkable presence of mind and let go of the rope. This released the barrel which had reached the top of the shaft and it fell five stories and landed squarely on top of me, and it landed hard too. Consider the heartlessness of your company. I sustained five acci¬ dents within two minutes. Once on my journey to the shaft when I met the barrel of bricks; the second, when I struck the roof; the third, when I met the empty barrel; the fourth, when I struck the bottom; the fifth, when the barrel struck me. Your agent states that it was only one accident, not five and instead of receiving payment of five times $25.00 I am only entitled to one accident at that rate and one alone. 1 therefore request you to cancel my policy as I have made up my mind that I will not be skinned either by a barrel or an insurance company. I ' ll send the policy back when you send me my premium —J.E.D. THE BELL ISLANDER. Wabana, Newfoundland. r W ito+t Q ' iaoJz ' 1 QeWuf, bicJz n Lockheed ■m c lean i .

Tom was the gabbiest player in the League. An excellent snap, hard tackier and a tough man to take out. Irvine Kelsey—Guard—Weight 172, Age 17— Second year with the Senior boys where his experience and ability to crack plays, proved an example to the rest of the line. One of the best guards ever produced in Central and played every minute of every game. Eldon McKinley—Guard—Weight 164, Age 18— A real fighting lineman, who took any bumps offered. “Mac ' s ability in pushing opponents around was continually proven. Joe Spencer—Guard—Weight 170, Age 17— A second-year man, who was especially effective on defence where his fine tackling and hard charging showed up well. Hu Harries—Tackle—Weight 192, Age 17— Hu’s third year with the Seniors. He was an old master in using his weight to bowl over opposing linemen and in tearing big holes in enemy lines. Best tackle in the league. Jack Timms—Guard—Weight 190, Age 18— Jack didn’t have much chance to show his ability this season due to an ankle injury sustained in scrimmage. Bob Cope—Tackle—Weight 185, Age 15— “Red’s’’ second year with the team, and although being the youngest player, was a steam-roller charger and blocked kicks real “Bronc style. One of the most effective blockers on the team. Eric McLean—Tackle—Weight 170, Age 18— One of the big boys of the team whose idea of fun was to make dirty faces at the opponents before he callously messed up their plays. Tom Coulter—Tackle—Weight 217, Age 17— A second-year man who, although slow in starting, was like a tanker when he got going, bowling over opponents whenever they lined against him. Showed up well in the last game. Gene Totten—End—Weight 148, Age 16— Gene’s first year with the big boys. He was rated the best downfield tackier in the league and his speed was shown by his spectacular double tackle in the Western game. Nearly impossible to block, he was also a fine pass-receiver. Bill Hanbury—End—Weight 150, Age — A veteran from Edmonton who specialized in end duties. Could pull passes right from the blue, block accurately, and tackle mercilessly. Bob Buckley—End—Weiqht 160, Age 15— Welcomed to the Seniors for the first time. A ' though inexperienced, with a little more football-playing under his belt he should make an excellent end. ninety-two THE ANALECTA SENIOR RUGBY BIOGRAPHIES -Continued Jim Lochhead—Left Half—Weight 157, Age 18— The high-stepping half-back flash of the C.C.I. bone-crushers. A vet¬ eran who kicked, passed and ran for most of Central’s yardage. With better interference, Jim would have put Central in the scoring column more often. Leslie Libin—Left Half—Weight 130, Age 18— “Hank’s” first year with the Seniors. His flat passes counted in every game he played. Very fast. His colorful warm-ups kept the crowd laughing during lulls in the game. Doug. Tempest—Right Half—Weight 145, Age 18— Though handicapped by sickness for most of the season, Doug, made up for his absence by really pushing the Crescent boys around. An¬ other triple threat man who capered for much yardage, ran good in¬ terference and passed like “Sammy Baugh”. Morley Luft—Flying Wing—Weight 150, Age 16— Morley’s first year with the club where he proved himself a very color¬ ful gridman. Really smote the line and is one reason Westernites always look so dazed. Gordon Sellar—Right Half—Weight 140, Age 17— Gordy did not see much action this season but in the scrimmages he really gave his team-mates numerous headaches. A graduate from intermediate ranks who with a little more practice should be a real asset to next year ' s team. Weston Brooks—End—Weight 160, Age 18— A second-year man. Fought steadily against some of the most power¬ ful interference the league has ever seen. A strong defensive player. Dave Allan—Quarterback—Weight 145, Age 16— Moved to Edmonton during the season when he was greatly missed. Bob Weaver—Full Back—Weight 160, A ge 16— His worth was shown by his winning the Emery Trophy. A real triple threater whose bucks, bullet passes and punting caused much tearing of hair among Western opposition. He was the main cog in the C.C.I. power-house. Art Follett—Full Back—Weight 165, Age 16— Art ' s plunging ability was not discovered until near the end of the season, but in the last game, he split the opposing line wide open with his headlong charges. Was also a fine blocker and tackier. Hilton Boucher—Quarterback—Weight 155, Age 18— Third year with the Central bruisers. He used his experience to good advantage in running interference and ball-carrying. Good play- maker. Wally Barry—Right Half—Weight 162, Age 16— Was a good line bucker, being hard to take out and difficult to tackle. A first year man, Dave was a shrewd quarterback who excelled at running interference. When running the ball, Dave was very hard to bowl over, despite his size. T1IE ANALECTA ninety-three SENIOR RUGBY BIOGRAPHIES Continued. Ralph Jamieson—Flying Wing—Weight 157, Age 17— Lack of experience held Ralph back but he always tried his best and worked like a Trojan. A sure bet for next year ' s backfield. Archie Knight—Flying Wing—Weight 159, Age 16— This was Archie ' s first year with Senior company but he certainly made good in that he gained all C.C.I.’s points. He was the team’s convert specialist whose “educated toe” seldom missed. An excellent tackier and pigskin-toter. Will be back next year. Robin Smallwood—Centre—Weight 130, Age 18— Although not any too heavy. “Splinters” made up this deficiency by his fight. He worked best when the referees were not looking. SENIOR RUGBY The year 1939 saw a fairly large assembly of pigskin-pushing huskies turn out to play for their old school. The material was good with a large percentage of last year ' s players back. and. under the whiphand of coaches Larry Haines, Johnny McKee and Bob Harrison, a powerful and sure-footed crew was fielded. Although rated a dark horse in the league, the purple and gold squad looked like a potential championship team. If faults were to be classed, the most obvious one would be poor con¬ ditioning. This defect was demonstrated in the first game in which the Central rough-housers presented a smashing powerhouse first quarter attack. The team which showed up so well in the first quarter seemed to slacken, not in fight, but in stamina, as the game progressed. Central ' s line bucking, laterals and passes were excellent but the end runs, blocking and kicking were faulty. Composed of many new men together with veterans of two seasons or more, the line was easily the best balanced in the league. The backfield, though slow-starting, pulled some very flashy, ground- gaining plays such as the famous “Central 92” lateral which almost won a narrowly contested ball game. To simply note the scores, it would seem that C.C.I. put up a poor showing, but this was not the case. There was not much to choose between any of the teams and the Central boys put up a fighting attack right to the last. Perhaps the most interesting contest was the Central-Western game where C.C.I., by dint of crashing, steam-roller power plays, devastating aerial attacks, and the accurate place kickinq of Archie Knight, had the game in hand at half time, with the score 9-6 for Central. ninety-four T II E A N A L E f! ' I ' A SENIOR RUGBY—Continued. After the half, however, the Central offensive bogged down and the Western team began to march, ending up with a converted touchdown which cinched the game. Though the season was winless, still the boys knew how to play foot¬ ball. and if all the horsing around had been dropped in the practices, with more attention paid to the coaches, C.C.l. might again have captured the shield of football supremacy which she formerly made a habit of winning annually. At this time, we would like to express our gratitude to coaches Larry Haines, Johnny McKee and Bob Harrison, for the time they spent in drilling the boys. The failure of the team to win was certainly no fault of theirs. Again we say “thanks, boys.’ To Mr. Weir and Mr. Pulleyblank also we would like to extend our thanks for the way they got behind the team, and the encouragement they gave us. C.C.l. 0 — Crescents 7 This game was not up to usual standard of high school football and claimed many fumbles. Good start for Central forcing all the play in the first quarter. Loose playing by C.C.L resulted in Crescents piling up 7 points. C.C.l. 9 — Western 12 A very grim struggle with Western coming from behind in the 4th frame to defeat C.C.l. There was a large turnout from both schools which saw Central complete 1 out, 3 passes, gain 10 first downs, and intercept 2 Western passes. Central took the lead with Knight’s interception but West¬ ern tied the count. C.C.L took the lead in the 3rd, by place kick from Knight. Western converted touchdown to win. C.C.l. 0 — Crescents 14 A muddy field prevented Central backfield from getting under way. Crescents opened scoring in first quarter by amassing 2 rouges. Lochhead’s injury to his ankle forced him from game which hampered Central attack. Fumble by Central resulted in another rouge. Duguid of Crescent went over for another touch which was not converted. Another Central fumble gave Crescents a singleton to win 14-0. Front Row—Phil MacNab, Bill Love, Bob Pulleyblank, Doug. Austin. Kirk Woolverton, Dick Corbet. Back Row—Harvev Delane, George Cowan, Hugh MacMillan, Alex Bull, Aluiray Michols, Cecil Keeping, Jack Macbeth. INTERMEDIATE RUGBY The Intermediates were unable to win a game all season but ready pulled an upset when they tied, almost won the game with Saint Marys at 8-8. Lack of fight, together with insufficient practice sessions were the reasons for the team ' s standing. The material was excellent and the team looked powerful enough to clinch the championship. A factor that worked against the club was the defeatist attitude of the crew in general. Their tie with the husky Saints seemed to give them new spirit. This should not be necessary, for teams from Central never used to worry about losing but would go in and fight until they heard the whistle. The team was handled by coach Bob Harrison, who was handicapped by lack of time due to working hours. Centre—D. Austin. Guards—Bob Hahn, Kirk Woolverton, Alec Bull. Tackles—Corbett, Bob Pulleyblank, Howard Griffith. Ends—Philip McNab. Cec. Keeping, Myers. Quarter—Jack Staines. Halves- Bob McKay. Ian Stuart. Jack Tempest. Murray Michols. Fullback—Jack MacBeth. F. Wing—Dune McMillan. Front Row—Kent Jordan, John Peake, Ian Jamison, Roy Brandreth, Don Dyer, Alan Cummer. Middle Row—Lome Baxter, Walter Coplick, Ken Kuwahara, Charlie Kennedy, John Lindsay, Ken Islaub. Back Row ' —John Maybin, Ronnie Helmer, Glenn Dunn, Norman Sanderson, Keith Brown, Alt Cassidy. JUNIOR RUGBY Also finishing at the bottom of the league, Juniors displayed some fine form in several games. Brandreth led the Central offensives, with Helmer and Scutchings backing him up. The team was coached well by Mr. Hodgson, whose personal experi¬ ence helped in drilling the Junior turf-pounders. The Juniors seemed to suffer from the same trouble as the Intermedi¬ ates, namely, lack of fight. We hope that this attitude is only temporary and that next year we will see the Purple and Gold winning again. Centre—Norman Sanderson, Kent Jordan. Guard—Alfred Cassidy, Glen Dunn. Tackles—Keith Brown, John Lindsay. Walter Coplick. Ends—John Maybin, Bob Barhan, Allen Cummer. Quarterback—Ronald Helmer, John Peake. Flying Wing—Chester Scutchings, Lome Bxater. Left Half—Charlie Kennedy, Ken Islaub. Right Half—Ian Jamieson, Ken Kuwohara, Lawrence Dyer. Fullback—Roy Brandreth, Ian Jamieson. T HE ANALECTA ninety-seven D. Dworkin, G. Allen, S. Fairbairn, K.

SENIOR BOYS’ BASKETBALL The close of the House League saw the opening of the Basketball League between Central, Western and Crescent. Crescents and Western fielded two clubs apiece while Central, because of its size, assembled one team, which started out in a promising manner by eliminating the Western and Crescent B teams and claiming the right to tackle the A teams for the Gas Co. trophy, which signified League champion¬ ship. Central played four games, cf which she lost two, thus giving the Purple and Gold squad a total of four points. Losing out to Western for the right to claim the Gas Co. trophy, Central again tackled a combined Western A and B team to take a varnish¬ ing. Western played Crescents who, eliminating the green and gold, wrap¬ ped up the T. Eaton trophy, presented to the winner of sudden death final. Basketball in C.C.I. was patronized this year to a greater extent and this backing certainly aided the hoop-shooters. The team, equipped with new jerseys, presented a very smart appear¬ ance, and under the coaching of Tom Bewick, the team put up a fine showing. Basketball is taking a bigger role in school sport in Central and considering the poor showings of former ill-equipped, poorly supported teams, we see a definite improvement in the brand of ball played. With the erection of an auditorium next year. Central teams will have their own stamping grounds in which to practice, and some victorious teams should be forthcoming. Lineup of team: Centre—Gordon Irving, Tim Corbet. Guards—H. Harries, Tom Poapst, Kirk Woolverton, Ronnie David¬ son, Stew Wright. Forwards—Lome Roberts, Dave Dworkin, Geo. Allen, Stan. Fair¬ bairn, Gilbert Dietiker. ninety-eight T HE ANALECTA HOUSE LEAGUE BASKETBALL The League got under way with eight teams being organized under Captains Les Libin, Birch Calloway, Lome Roberts, Rod McNeil, Kirk Woolverton. Archie Knight, George Allan and Gene Totten. The executive consisted of Lome Roberts as president, Robin Small¬ wood, vice-president and Weston Brooks, secretary-treasurer. Games were played in Western auditorium every Tuesday and Thursday nights, where very strenuous, sometimes rough games took place. Les Libins’ Gushouse Gang” headed the League but bowed out to the tune of a terrific shellacking from Calloways Incorp., who, incidentally, also pushed Roberts ' team out of the way to cop the championship. SENIOR HOCKEY The Seniors this year lived up to the expectations of the sporting en¬ thusiasts in the school, by marching right into the playoffs where, by a nar¬ row margin, they were held by Western for City Championship. The puck-chasers from the Central hall of learning piled up 7 points, going one better than last year ' s splendid showing of 6 points. After suc¬ cessive clean-cut triumphs over Saint Mary ' s and Crescents, Central claimed the right to face the flashy Western team which unfortunately put them out of action. Jim Clark, the veteran net-minder, played his usual sterling game and he proved very stingy in letting the rubber trickle into his cage. Jim Lochhead, although unable to play himself, sparked the team real Marty Burke style and drew some very smooth player combinations from his repertoire. This year there was a larger attendance at the games and it is hoped that this is a sign that hockey will be supported in the high school to a greater extent in future. It is well to remember that a good team always plays better if up in the stands they are backed up by real school spirit. Lineup of team: Goal J im Clark. Defence—Barroll, Archie Knight. Morley Luft, Hu Harries. Forwards—Archie Campbell. Dick Swann, Ian Stuart, Fred McKay, Rod McNeil. Michols, Gene Totten. Roy Brandreth, Eldon McKinley. -- JUNIOR HOCKEY In the Junior division, C.C.I. ended up with a total of 3 points, resulting from a win and a draw. Although they finished in the cellar, the Juniors gave what they had and fought as hard as any team in the League. Out¬ standing players on the team were Brandreth, Head and Hollatt. The team was coached by Hu Harries, who did his best to put the boys into winning form. Lineup of team: Goal—Hollatt, Scutchings, Jameison. Defence—Head, Helmer, Peake. Hahn, Islaub, Wetherall. Forwards—Brandreth, Lindsay, Cartwright, Hahn, Stables, Head, Bond, Wetherall. TILE ANALECT A ninety-nine Eric McLean, Tim Ward, Allan Carlyle, Archie Campbell, Cedric McLean. CENTRAL SKI RUNNERS Skiing was very poor in the Calgary district last winter, due to the unusual snow conditions. However, the Central skiers reorganized the club, and made some achievements of which they are proud. The officers of the club are as follows: Honorary President—Mr, Hodgson. President—Eric McLean. Vice-President—Cedric McLean. Secretary-Treasurer—Allan Carlyle. The highlight of the season was the inter-school competition between Western and Central. Crescent Heights High did not send a team due to lack of co-operation. Two teams of six men each competed for a trophy kindly donated by the Union Milk Company. This handsome trophy now reclines in Central ' s vulnerable showcase. The boys on Central’s team were: Ced McLean, Allan Carlyle, Eric McLean, Jim Ward, Archie Campbell, and Tom Link. On the morning of March 10 the boys journeyed up to Banff with Mr. Hodgson. A substantial lead of points was gained in the downhill race, while the slalom was won by a smaller margin. Ced McLean. City Junior ski champ, starred for Central, while Jack Jorgens starred for Western. Other members of the Central Ski Runners are begged not to become discouraged because of the lack of competitions within the club. They were not possible because of the lack of snow. Next year it is hoped that Central will lead again on the hickory runners. one hundred THE ANALECT A CENTRAL WRESTLING CLUB This is the first year that a wrestling club has successfully been organ¬ ized at Central. At the first meeting, 32 members turned out, electing the following executive: President .. .. Dick Bond Honorary President ... Mr. Hodgson Vice-President ______ Kirk Woolverton Secretary-Treasurer . . Don Davies This club has been sponsored by Mr. Hodgson. Meetings were held on Monday evenings at Western Canada Auditorium. Members received expert tuition under the expert guidance of J. Donahue, noted Y.M.C.A. wrestler. During the year C.W.C. members were the guests of the “Y” Wrestling Club upon numerous occasions. Crests were purchased for all members and took the form of a circle with the silhouette of a wrestler on it. A few members from the C.W.C. entered the Calgary and District Amateur Wrestling championships. We wish these fellows the best of luck. Members: Tom Coulter, Irvine Kelsey, Dick Corbet, Burnette Binkley, Rod McNeil. Jack MacDonald, Bill Brown, Alf Cassidy, John Tibby, Bob Cope, Doug. Austin, Chuck Hamilton, Bob Hahn, John Peake, Glen Dunn, Bill Cummer, Joe Spencer, Howie Griffiths, Cecil Keeping. FLASH —Just before going to press we learned that Central wrestlers were the highlights at the City and District eliminations. Kirk Woolverton held top place in light weight, while Rod McNeil and Burnette Binkley were both victorious in their respective classes. Congratulations fellows!

GIRLS’ BASKETBALL For the third consecutive year the Girls’ House League has been a success. Four teams each consisting of ten players, began their games shortly after the new year. The Rangers won the Kappa Zi Trophy after beating the Maple Leafs 20-19. The teams were: RANGERS—Florence Asselstine (captain), Doris Tinney, Betty Pick- ford, Jean Bounds, Kay Haney, Maxine Hambrook, Marion Oliver, Isobel Roberts, Janeth Sturrock, Aileen Porter.

The girls wish to express their thanks and appreciation to Mr. Church¬ ill for his work and efforts on their behalf. one hundred and two THE ANALECTA THE TRACK MEET Linder ideal conditions, the Inter-School Track Meet took place in Mewata Stadium with Central, Western, Crescent, and St. Marys entered. Western and Crescents cornered all classes and individual honors, with Western winning B and C classes in the girls’ section, boys ' senior title, and two individual awards. Crescents took home three individual titles and junior and intermediate boys ' shields. This, of course, did not leave much for Central to win. and the standing stayed at: Western 19 points, Crescents 75 points, C.C.I. 38 points, and Saints 16 points. A large, colorful crowd, composed almost entirely of cheering students witnessed the affair which was well-handled by experienced officials. In spite of a muddy corner of the track, three records were broken and one equalled. In the field, two records went by the boards. One of these records was established by Central for the C class in the eight-girl relay. In this race, they eclipsed the former mark of 62 4 5 seconds by one second. Cec. Keeping, Les Libin, Bill Brown and Bill Cole were the men who carried Central colors to good advantage during the Meet, but many others turned in valuable points for C.C.I. This year, if a little more interest is shown, we can have as good a team as any school, despite our size. GIRLS’ TRACK AND FIELD Although the girls did not retain the Dr. A. B. Singleton Trophy, they still did splendidly in several events. “C Class’’ girls set a new record in the Eight-Girl Relay eclipsing the former record of 62 4 5 seconds by a full second. This race was run twice. Crescents won and broke the record, but were disqualified. Central and Western raced again, Central winning by breaking the old record by a greater margin than Crescent did a few minutes before. The girls obtained 23 4 points. “B Class” earned 7.5 of these points. Shuttle Relay—2nd. Mary Sturrock, Betty McRoberts, Pearl Mackay, Irene Grenache. High Jump—3rd.

Some fellows get away with anything. There’s one in our neighbor¬ hood who does. Morals don’t mean a thing to him. He’s unmarried, and lives openly with the woman he’s crazy about, and doesn ' t care what the neighbors say or think. He has no regard for truth or law. The duties of the so-called good citizen are just so much bunk so far as he is concerned. He doesn ' t vote at either the provincial or the general election. He never thinks of paying a bill. We have seen him take a car ride without giving the driver so much as a pleasant look. The driver only stared at him and muttered something silly. He won’t work a lick; he won ' t go to church; he can’t play cards, or dance, or fool around with musical instruments or the radio. So far as known, he has no intellectual or cultural interests at all. He neglects his appearance terribly. He’s so indolent he’d let the house burn down before he ' d turn in an alarm. The telephone can ring itself to pieces and he wouldn’t bother to answer it. Even on such a controversial subject as the liquor question, nobody knows exactly where he stands, because one minute he s dry and the next minute he’s wet. But we’ll say this for him: in spite of all his faults, he comes of a darn good family. He’s our baby!

The work of the Council this year and the spirit with which the members have taken upon themselves the responsibility of governing student affairs is to be highly commended. Between the period of organization and dissolution of the Council, it has promoted several very successful Lits. which were well received by the student body. The Council wishes to express their thanks to the Boys’ Hi-Y T HE ANALECT A one hundred and nine STUDENTS’ COUNCIL —Continued. and the Girls’ Hi-Y Clubs for their splendid assistance in regard to the Lits., and also to the Kappa Zi Sorority for their help at the School Concert. Congratulations are extended to the Dramatic Club with reference to the March Concert, which exhibited excellent talent and a very high standard of production was attained under the capable direction of Miss Kaulbach. The Council attended to numerous requirements around the school, and one of the chief duties was the sale and distribution of tickets for the Rugby Games, School and March Concerts. It is the opinion of the Council that with the installation of the new auditorium, all school activities will be much better attended. The Council gladly turned over the proceeds of one of the Lits. for the betterment of the Analecta. It is the sincere wish of the Council that next year, Central ' s Students’ Council will meet with even greater success than that of its predecessors. GRADUATION EXERCISES On June 13th, 1939, the third annual Graduation Exercises for Central High School were held in the Western Canada Auditorium. Rev. Dr. R. Paton pronounced the Invocation, and Mr. R. M. Edmanson, acting as chairman, gave an introductory message. Several musical selections were rendered by the Combined Orchestra under the leadership of Mr. Beresford, and later in the evening the Choir sang The Indian Love Call and Tramp, Tramp, Tramp . After a brilliant valedictory given by Ted Pulleyblank, the graduates were introduced by Mr. Weir and each received a souvenir booklet. A very inspiring address on Personality” was then given by Mrs. Z. W. Dean, who was formerly a member of the Calgary School Board. THE DRAMATIC CLUB For a number of years now, the Central Dramatic Club, under the cap¬ able direction of Miss Kaulbach, has been holding concerts for the students of the school and their parents. This year, they presented four plays to capacity audiences at the annual March Concert, and this was certainly one of the best concerts ever put on by the club. A great deal of promising talent was displayed in the two evenings of the concert. It is difficult to appie- ciate the months of hard work put into the production of these plays by Miss Kaulbach and the members, and much praise is due to all who helped to make the concert the success it was. A bouquet was presented to Miss Kaulbach on Friday night at the end of the third play as a small token of appreciation for the great work she has done in the furthering of Dramatics in the school. We would like to express the hope that the future holds many more concerts which are even greater successes than this one. Executive: Honorary President .—.

THE MARCH CONCERT Large and brilliantly coloured posters, prominently displayed, promised the students of C.C.I., for weeks beforehand, that the annual March Concert would be one of the best ever produced. Those promises became a reality. On the evenings of March 7th and 8th, Miss Kaulbach presented four plays to capacity audiences. The programme opened w ' th a selection by the orchestra under the leadership of Mr. Beresford and further selections were played during the intermissions between plays. These were enthusiastically applauded by the audiences. The first play, entitled “Girls Are That Way”, was produced by the Senior Dramatics Class and provided many dramatic and amusing incidents. The first night the part of Frederick Cawley was ably played by Ralph Young and on Friday, Kent Green, equally able, took the part. Bob Con- well, the successful suitor, was played by Terry McCloy, while Jim Carpenter was Krebs, the butler. Laughs, thrills and suspense were provided in the duel scene, with Jim Carpenter the centre of activity. The second play, ‘‘Still Stands the House ”, a tragedy by Gwendolyn Rharis, gave the artists plenty of scope for fine acting. Directed by Gwen Henderson, this play was really well done by everyone taking part and pro¬ duced continued applause after the curtain. As Hester Warren, the sister who went insane, Marjorie Rhynes gave an excellent portrayal and the others in the cast, Margaret Anderson as Ruth Warren, Eric McLean as Bruce Warren, and Bob Pulleyblank as Arthur Manning, all gave fine performances worthy of great praise. “The Teapot on the Rocks”, strictly a comedy, was directed by Mrs. T. F. Beresford. The two ‘‘career” girls were played by Nora Lundy as May, and Aria King as Daisy. May ' s suitor, Roy, was played by Malcolm Walton. The part of Mrs. Carstairs was taken by Jeanette Crawford, while Bill H ahn was the grocer’s boy, and Robin Smallwood, the gas man The play rollicked along from start to finish, leaving the audience helpless with laughter. The scene in which Mrs. Carstairs flirted outrageously with Rov (and vice versa) had the audience literally rolling in the aisles and was greeted with thunderous applause. A satire by Sir James Barrie, entitled “ Half an Hour”, proved a fitting climax to the evening’s performance. With Bette Edmanson taking the lead as Lady Lillian, this play was excellently performed in three scenes. Tom Coulter played Garson, the rich husband, Dick Soley was Hugh Paton, How¬ ard Griffith was Dr. Brodie, and Gerry Dicken was Susie. Fred Wetherall was a very dignified butler while Mr. and Mrs. Redding were played by Tom Poapst and Marie Wier. Margaret Macaulay, who played Miss Mere¬ dith, also directed the play and is to be congratulated on a fine production. The realistic make-up of all four plays was capably handled by Mrs Carsley and Mr. Dyke. one hundred and twelve THE ANALE C T A C.C.I. LITS. Because the Council was late in getting assembled, the first Lit. wasn’t held until the middle of December. This year a new policy was adopted with regards to the Lits. The limited space in the Hall prevented large numbers from attending, and so the crowd was limited to Central stu¬ dents and their friends. The latter, however, could only be the friends ot the boys, as Central girls were not allowed to bring outside boys. This year, too, the dancers were given programmes to fill out, and all these im¬ provements went to making the social season a bigger and better success. The first Lit., “Santa Comes to Central ”, was held on December 15th Hu Harries acted as Master of Ceremonies and music was supplied by a Wurlitzer. The Old Hall was gaily decorated with red and green streamers by Joan Oliver and her decoration committee. During the intermission, Deirdre Hughes sang “Jeanie With the Light Brown Hair ”, for which she was encored. This was the only number on the programme, the rest of the evening being entirely devoted to dancing. The Girls ' Hi-Y was kept busy selling pop all evening. Altogether things combined to make this one of the most successful Lits. the school ever had. On February 16th a Rugby Lit. was held, in honour of all the Rugby teams. The Kampus Kids supplied the music, and the three Rugby teams were presented between dances. After an accordian duet by Bob Soley and Gordon McAdam, the Gordon Emery Memorial Trophy was presented to Bob Weaver for being the most valuable player on the Senior team. Other entertainment for the evening was provided by the singing trio, Tom Poapst, Doug. Tempest and Art Follett, while Louis Sharkey concluded the pro¬ gramme with some terrific trumpet playing. Dancing brought to an end a perfect evening. The Analecta Lit., put on in place of the usual Analecta Tea, was probably the most successful of the three. It was held on April 19th, and Alton Ryan, as Editor of the Analecta, acted as Master of Ceremonies. Music was again supplied by the Kampus Kids. The Three Thrushes. Tom, Doug, and Art, who made their debut at the Rugby Lit., featured prominently on the programme, and Jack Staines, President of the Boys’ Hi-Y, presented the Boys’ Hi-Y Basketball Trophy to Tom Poapst and Ronnie Davidson. As usual the Girls’ Hi-Y sold pop to thirsty jitter-bugs, and the Boys’ Hi-Y patrolled the halls. The crowd was just right for dancing, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed himself. CENTRAL SCHOOL CONCERT On February 19th, an appreciative audience attended the annual School Concert presented by the students of Central High School in Western Canada Auditorium and found it positively the best of many excellent con¬ certs of this sort put on by the school. The programme opened with selections from “Maritana by the Or¬ chestra, under Mr. Beresford’s leadership. The eighty voice choir sang several numbers among which were “A Lover and His Lass”, Land of Hope and Glory”, and “La Marseillaise”. Linder the direction of Miss A. M. Gish, two choral dances were performed, the Choir singing the melodies. The first of these, “Lords and Ladies”, was danced in old-fashioned costumes. TITE ANALECTA one hundred and thirteen CENTRAL SCHOOL CONCERT— Continued complete with powdered wigs, and the other, “Estudiantina” was extremely colourful with native Spanish dress. The two vocal soloists, Deirdre Hughes and Marguerite Crawford were great favourites with the audience. Mr. Hodgson directed the Boys Tumbling Club in an astonishing and brilliant display of flips, turns, and pyramid building, which the audience applauded with $reat enthusiasm. Dramatic readings given by Joan MacLean and Margot Herriot delighted the audience while Marion Somerville displayed amazing talent with her Scotch dancing. The stage was darkened for the Campfire Melodies which the choir sang grouped around a campfire with Gordon McAdam and Bob Soley accompanying on their accordians. Anne Makar gave an inspired performance of Gounod ' s “Ave Maria” on her violin. Peggy and Thelma Hill sang a delightful duet and the Orchestra brought the evening’s entertainment to a fitting climax by the playing of “Andante” by Mendelssohn. The accompanists for the evening were Ruth Gurevitch, Marjorie Lyne and Aileen Swann. THE COMBINED ORCHESTRA The Combined Orchestra, having students from both Central and Western Canada High Schools, has just completed one of the most success¬ ful years of activity in its history. With Mr. T. F. Beresford as the able conductor, the orchestra has served both schools for several years. It accompanied the Choir at the concerts of both schools, and was enthusiasti¬ cally received at the March Concert. An extremely successful Orchestral Concert was held on May 2nd at Western Canada Auditorium. The concert was composed of selections by the Orchestra, the Brass Band and the soloists. Among these were the Poet and Peasant Overture , Brahm s “Hungarian Dance No. 6”, an excerpt from Schubert’s “Unfinished Symphony”, “The Waltz of the Flowers and Schubert’s “Ave Maria”. The Band opened with “The Overture to Tan- credi” and this was followed by several well-known marches including “The Teddy Trombone March”. Vocal solos were beautifully rendered by Deirdre Hughes and Edith Beard. Conductor: Mr. Beresford. Members: First Violins: Anne Makar, Jacqueline Trusler, Doug Elves, Daphne Thom, Janett Pearson.

WEEPER This year the Weeper was organized in November, which made it possible to print three issues before Christmas. Following the first issue of the new term, the sales department of the Weeper was re-organized; the old method of selling the papers at the door being replaced by a subscription system. At this time the paper itself was changed. Instead of having a design on the cover, the first two pages were used exclusively for news. The Weeper is assured of financial success due to the subscription system, and it is felt that an advance has been made in the 1 literary value of the paper. The editorial, printing, and circulation staffs under the editorship of Dick Corbet, all co-operated splendidly, making possible the success of the Weeper. John Mayhood, Hu Harries, Joe Spencer, Aileen Filteau, Tom Poapst and Albert Kipnes, all worked on the editorial staff. Harry Wood, John Peake and Eric MacLean were responsible for the cartoons, while Ralph Goodchild, Mac Love, Jack Cuyler, and Bill Campbell handled the printing end of it. Dick Broad was the sales manager and he headed an efficient staff of salesmen. This year marks the tenth anniversary of the Weeper and like its predecessors, it has supported all school activities and tried to live up to its motto: C.C.I., First, Last, and Always.’’ THE ANALECTA one hundred and fifteen THE CHOIR Linder the leadership of Mr. Beresford the Choir, composed of some two hundred girls taking Music I and II at either Central or Western, completed a very successful season. This year on February 9th, a school concert was held in Western Canada Auditorium at which the Choir sang a great many delightful numbers. A smaller choir made up of eig hty picked voices from the larger choir, rendered three special numbers, and the entire Choir joined in singing the Campfire Melodies which proved a huge succss. The Choir also performed at the Western Concert. One hundred repre¬ sentatives from the Choir took part in the School Music Demonstration at Western Canada Auditorium on April 22nd and 23rd. Mr. Beresford has earned the sincerest gratitude of Central High School for his untiring efforts in developing the musical talents cf its students. THE BOYS’ HI-Y The Central Boys Hi-Y Club, organized in the fal of 1915. and recog¬ nized as the oldest Hi-Y in Canada, has again successfully completed another year. Among the club’s activities were the sale of rugby tickets, and the purchase of school sweaters. Many important discussions were held during the year on topics of interest. In co-operation with the Calgary Junior Chamber of Commerce, the Hi-Y carried on a program for safe bicycle riding. Their slogan: “Don’t be reckless; be wreckless’’ typifies the campaign. The club was again honor¬ ed in having Mr. Pulleyblank as their Mentor, and wish to thank him for his excellent leadership. Officers of the Club: Hon. President and Mentor Mr. W. G. E.

THE GIRLS’ HI-Y The Central Girls’ Hi-Y has just completed its fourth successful year of activity. With Miss James as their very capable leader, the girls have discussed many vital problems at their weekly meetings and have enjoyed numerous talks given by guest speakers. As usual they have been conduct¬ ing many activities in the school. They held a social for all new girls in the school, sold pop at the Lits., and had their annual dance in March. They also sold school Christmas cards, and are donating the Frances Wool- one hundred and sixteen tup: analecta THE GIRLS’ HI-Y -Continued. verton Memorial Cup to the best all-round Grade XII cjir 1 in the school. In the Easter holidays, all the Girls ' Hi-Y’s in the city held a very successful three-day conference in collaboration with the Y clubs of Edmonton and Lethbridge. The purpose of this was to establish closer co-operation among all Y clubs and to discuss ways and means of improving the national Hi-Y movement. This was the first time a conference of this sort has been held and because of its great success it will become an annual event.

Thou shalt not argue, for thy customer is always right, even though he is wrong. 2. Thou shalt not use profane language lest thy customer become offended and reprove thee and leave thee up the proverbial creek without thy paddle. 3. Eight hours shalt thou sleep, lying down on thy couch by night, rather than standing up by thy counter by day. 4. Be thou clean in all things and change thy shirt and thy collar and socks daily and shave thy beard from off thy face also. Wear garments that become thee and aspire not to be the shiek of thy city, lest them who know thee and loveth thee fall upon thee and slay thee. 5. And thou shouldst keep thy liver active, for not whatsomevers about it, if thine liver be lazy, so wilt thou and thy store and thy client he will shake thee. 6. Run ye not down thy competitor lest he hear of it and smite thee and blacken thine eyes and make thee the laughing stock of thy neighbor. 7. Speak ye not, neither “madam”, nor “sir”, but, “lady” or “mister”, likewise not, “now is that all? ' but what else?” Say not thou hadst eaten of forbidden fruit, which are called green apples. 8. Thou shalt not place such profound confidence in that erroneous proverb “all work and no play makes Jim a dumb bell, but make thy recrea¬ tion contribute efficiency to thy labor, 9. Be thou always busy, yea, busier than the tail of a cow in fly time, for as the moving finger writeth, so shall ye fail to call back moments that are gone. 10. Honor thy employer and his men servants, and his wife and his daughter, that thy days may be long with them and that it may go well with thee and thy pay check strengthened that he giveth to thee. And in the end is written, “Well done, my good and faithful servant thou hast been faithful over automobiles, flivvers, old crocks and their many needs, now will you be rewarded.” THE MYSTERY OF REPORT CARDS Reports at last, oh joy! oh bliss!

CANADIAN UTILITIES LIMITED CALGARY, ALBERTA Patronize Our Advertisers THE ANA LEC T A one hundred and thirty-one THE BIRTH OF ADVERTISING By George Hill. In the age of prehistoric man, a grunt, a groan, a primitive sign, was all that was used to express emotions and thoughts. Chac, Sur, and Bor were three mighty men who traded in Dinosaur flesh with fellow tribesmen. Chac, being an honest cave-man, hewed the bones from his carcasses and gave his customers nothing but meat. The bones were piled up outside his cave and thus became an advertisement, for other cave-men knew . . . that meat without bone was safe to take home. Time passed and Sur was forced to close his meat business. He had a fire-sale, a spring-sale, a sale of old stock at half the trade value, but he . . . could not compete against boneless meat. Thus he decided to return to his former occupation of carving knives. He decided to try to . . . carve knives from bone instead of stone . . . and an agreement was made that Sur could have Cha s old Dinosaur bones. In a few years time, Chac’s bone pile was almost depleted and Sur failed to educate the tribe to the fact . . . that knives of stone were out of date, while knives of bone would cut their steak. Thus Chac’s depleted bone pile was no longer a drawing card and Sur’s business was almost a failure. However by this time Bor had learned to write and could daub crude lettering on sheets of bark. Thus he suggested that Sur and Chac incorpor¬ ate their business and let him handle the advertising. Sor set to work and soon the surrounding country was planted with the following slogans daubed on bark . . . Buy boneless meat from Sur and Chac, never again will you have to hack . . . Cut Chac ' s roast with Sur’s best knives, give a treat to kids and wives. Two or three hundred years past, and the meat business was still raw but Chac’s Incorporated had become more civilized and constructed a tall smoke flue in the top of their cave. Chac the Sixth. President of Chac Rac Incorporated shouted up the crude chimney and discovered that his voice was louder than usual. This created thought. Startled, he grabbed a hunk of meat and started for the roof. On reaching the top of the roof, e found nothing suspicious, so decided to try the experiment from up top. This voice sounded as loud from there as it did from below. At this stage of the procedeings Chac dropped the meat down the flue and into the fire. His natural business instinct told him to retrieve it as hastily as possible. It was somewhat scorched and charred, but Chac was not bothered and continued to chew . . . The meat was tender, sweet and luscious, and he knew this copyrighted would be precious. Reposing on his tiger skin, he mouthed this meat and gently tapped his abdomen with a grimy hand. Again thought came. The rythmis beat of hand on belly reverberated through the dim reaches of the cave. Would not a larger hand, a larger container produce a larger sound? There was born the first wireless. Henceforth from the knoll beside his domicile, Bor the Sixth, broadcast his company’s products on the Chaccgraph. Listen friends throughou t the wilds . . . For something juicy, tender, sweet, stop at Chac’s for good cooked meat. Chac, Sur and Bor, their names somewhat changed and polished by the process of civilization have a branch in Calgary to-day. My lawn is cluttered with their fliers. My newsboy hawks their wares both near and far. My radio blazons forth with their commercials, and sign¬ boards line our street now by the score. one hundred and thirty-two THE ANALECTA CENTRAL HI-Y OLDEST IN CANADA The year 1914 A.D., was momentous for more reasons than one. In that year the Great War broke out, and, at about the same time, there was born the Gamma Phi Club at the Y.M.C.A., Calgary. The event was not announced. But it now appears that it is the oldest Hi-Y Club in Canada, and for that reason, if for no other, appears to be worth recalling. John Macaulay, (Jack) Sharpe, or “J.M.” to every youngster of ' teen¬ age in Calgary, was their Boys ' Work Secretary. Able, energetic, enthus¬ iastic and full of ideas, he sought ways and means of curbing the wild spirits of certain High School students and diverting their energies into more worth¬ while fields. At that time there was only one Public High School in Calgary. There are some who assert that the statement is still true. Reference is, of course, made to the C.C.I. for while Mount Royal College and Western Canada College existed, they were private schools, and Crescent Heights High School was not even in embryo. Mr. Sharpe, with a bean feed as alluring bait, asked eighteen to attend a meeting and authored the plan. A name was required and Don McTeer proposed Gamma Phi , alleging that it was the Greek for “Good Fellows”. His word for it, for obvious reasons, was accepted without question and remains undisputed to this day. Perhaps Greek is not yet taught in the C.C.I.. but that they were good fellows and have remained good fellows throughout the years from 1914 is proved by the fact of the continued exist¬ ence and operation of the club since that time. Training in leadership was the avowed motive of the Club, and Mr. Sharpe, now living in Regina, was appointed leader, with Frank Halliday, as President, Charles MacGregor as Vice-President, and George Emery as GAS - A Gives You Extra Hours k for Fun m -AND — 31 makes “snacks” for the gang an —easy matter— The Canadian Western Natural Gas, Light, Heat and Power Co., Limited ruK j QUALITY FURNITURE’’ Alberta Furniture Co.

Secretary. There was no Treasurer, there being no money. Mr. Halliday is now a photographer in Calgary, Charlie (Chuck) MacGregor lives in I.os Angeles, and Geo. Emery, from the seed then sown, is now a Y.M.C.A. Director somewhere in Canada. Other members and their present locations and occupations are as follows: H. S. Garrioch, Doctor, address unknown; Geo. Barnes, staff clerk. M.D. No. 13, Calgary; Geo. Clarke, address and occupation unknown; Wm.

Doctor, Innisfail, Alberta; Howard Gainor, transport manager, Calgary; Thomas Baker, killed in action; Wilbur Gillespie, chemical engineer in United States; Allan McKinnon, occupation unknown, but living in United States; Wm. McLaws, lawyer, until recently practising at Bassano. The list may not be quite accurate, but it proves that a big percentage of the original Gamma Phi Club have succeeded fairly well in the trying years since 1914. On an inspection of the Y.M.C.A. recently, the writer looked in vain for the photographs of the members of the original Club on the walls, but finally did manage to locate in a small basement room on the floor amongst a bunch of other photographs and sundry rubbish, a smaller group photo handed to the Y by Mr. Halliday to replace the original larger one, which had been smashed or lost.

Are there any among us who have not had the phrase ‘accent on youth’ thrown at our heads by everyone from pulpit to soap box. Yet perhaps its very reiterance is at last bearing fruit. Society is becoming conscious of youth ' s growing needs. Men are viewing the ever-rising waves of high school students in a different light. A new trend has come. The Calgary section of Rotary International has taken a stride in the right direction. No longer are the helping hands of our prominent citizens extended only to the weak, the meek, and the mentally retarded. A definite step towards helping develop leadership and good citizenship has been taken. Last fall, under the chairmanship of Mr. D. K. Yorath, a committee was formed for the purpose of inviting some of the leading high school students to attend meetings. From Central, Hu Harries, Gerald Richards, Alton Ryan and Dick Broad attended, each for a period of four weeks. The boys are loud in their praises of the men they met. The meetings they tell us, have all the earmarks of a “bull session.” They are a weekly get-together of a few of the older “boys” of Calgary. They claim they are being robbed by the hotel, even when the meals are of the best. They pull gags on each other, heckle the chair- man. expand during the sing-songs, j { and laugh uproariously at their neighbors’ sallies. Yet the more ser¬ ious and informative aspects of things in general are comfortably mixed with the fun and joviality. Excellent speakers are invited to talk on a wide variety of timely sub¬ jects. Projects of service are talked out and carried through enthusiasti¬ cally by the members. Any and all civic enterprises are backed to the limit by the club. The meetings to which some of our high school lads have been invited, mark the first stride in a new field of endeavour, that of vocational guid¬ ance. In the near future, the Calgary Rotarians hope to institute a system whereby they may aid the young people of this city in finding a niche in society in which they will be both happy and valuable. “God-Speed to the Wheel of Rotary as it cogs itself forward along the chain of service. Today, almost all human activity cen¬ ters around Business and Industry. And these twin social forces may be (and generally are) depicted in terms of figures; figures on production and consumption, employment and wages, profit and loss .... figures on human achievement] Likewise, Business and Industry base policy and activity on accurate, ob¬ jectively interpreted figures.
