you now have in your hands the 1947 edition of the C.C.I. Analecta. The purpose of the Analecta Staff was to publish a year book which would live up to the high standards of its predecessors and give a clear-cut record of all school activities of the past year. We hope we have done just this and that this book meets with your wholehearted approval. It was my privilege this year to work with a Staff that gave its full and untiring attention to the publication of the Analeca. I shall always be grate¬ ful to the members of my Staff. My appreciation cannot be put into words, so to them I simply say “Thank You ’. I should like to take this opportunity to also thank Miss Kaulbach and Mr. Weir. Their advice and aid proved most helpful at all times and I am deeply indebted to them. This year, I would like to dedicate the Analecta to the graduating class, the men and women of tomorrow. On these graduates rest the responsibilities and worries of a troubled world. It is their duty and privilege to help solve these problems, and so, on behalf of the Staff and myself, I wish you all the best of luck in accepting this challenge. — ' W. G. N. EGBERT, Editor. 12

T ' HREE years ago most of us knew very little of Central High School. Of course, there were rumors as to the age of the venerable institution (I don’t think anyone knows just how old Central is) and about the keen interest in Athletics taken by the students, and we had been definitely informed concerning the high educational standards set by the school, We knew that year after year Central had walked off with major honours in the scholarship field even though failing to win a Track Meet. Today Central wins Track Meets as well as scholarships. Then we came to Central. We’d been told that the first year would be tough. It was. What we weren’t told however, was that the following terms would be even ' tougher. Many of us were inclined to take it easy for the first two years. Now, most of us realize that this attitude won t pay off as far as struggling out of Grade Twelve is concerned. We’ ve made the grade though, through Grade Eleven anyhow, that’s why we re here tonight. You know it seems rather humorous receiving a Diploma before one has passed the final examinations. Another evidence this, of the marvellous faith the Central teachers have in their students. It’s too bad the parents aren’t imbued with the same optimism. Most of us have been at Central for three years. Three years, that’s a long time in anybody ' s life. But has it been long to us? For myself, those years have passed with the speed of the proverbial bullet. It seems only yesterday that we were back sweating it out in Grade Ten. But of course, we didn’t know what work was until we hit Grade Twelve. Have we enjoyed our High School adventure? I think that we shall look back upon it as the happiest period of our lives. My only regret is that I can¬ not spend another three years in this school and I’m not joking when I say that. Of course our happiness here has been the result of many things. Sports and Social Activities have contributed their share. Underneath these however, has been the consciousness that we, in advancing in knowledge and wisdom, have been preparing ourselves so that some day we may capably fill positions in Canadian Society. We have obtained an education at C.C.I., but more than that, we have been partners in a fellowship that we shall remember the rest of our days. We now realize that in selecting Central as “our” school, we picked the “best” school in Alberta, the “best” teachers in Alberta, and we chose to associate with the kind of classmates, whom anybody would be proud to call friends. Yes, there will always be a spot in our hearts for Central. This grand old school may forget us, but we ll never forget her. PETE SIMON.
