four TUB ANALECTA tf-asieiuan. 19H ! 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.
