— Pbo-pliecy, af F 53 — PROPHECY OF ’53 One night while doing my homework, I dozed off, and the Spirit of the Future came to me. “I am the Spirit of your Alma Mater , he said, and am opening to you the gates of the future of the Class of ’53”. As he led me through a dense mist I saw many familiar faces. ‘Gadzooks ”, I said, Isn ' t that Heather Symons? Yes, replied the Spirit, she is now President of the Women’s Free Thinkers League, and has taken a strong stand for basketball training as a pre-requisite to successful household management. My eye, becoming accustomed to the mist, was suddenly caught by a flaring advertisement—“Erb School of the Dance—Robertson’s Rhumba a Specialty . In the line of people waiting for the doors to open were Les Belin¬ sky and Mike Snidal discussing what happens to the hole in the doughnut. They were getting ready to learn The Lancers” for the Country Club Ball which Society ' Leader, Mrs. Van Gotrocks (the former Carole Adams) was giving in honor of the famous French scholar, Victor Beaudre, recently returned from Paris. I paused for a few minutes to ask who would be at this social event, and found that out-of-town guests invited, were Admiral Carlton Fitzer, U.S. Navy; Inspector Richard Jackson of Scotland Yard; and T.V. stars, Peggy Richardson and Pat Buker. Continuing down the line my guide and I were almost knocked over by a stately grey-haired gentleman, rapidly dictating notes to his secretary who was following at his heels. That looks like Don Campbell, the genial Scotch¬ man, I said. “It is,” answered the Spirit, and that’s Roberta LeBourveau, his private secretary, with him. He is with the firm of Campbell, Goresht and Fleury, research chemists. They are working together on a new dog food made from air and water. Their former colleague, Dick Collver, recently won the Nobei prize for putting tooth-paste back in the tube.” Reluctantly leaving our friends at their dancing lessons, we journeyed down the street. Finally, overcome by pangs of hunger, we stopped in for lunch at Zysblat’s Beanery, and were just in time for the floor show. This featured guest artists, Hank tenBroeke and his tonette, and the famous blues singer, Marilyn Feathers. At the next table were two familiar people, Edgar Jorgenson and Winston Churchill, brilliant authors of Elementary Algebra for Beginners . At another table, dining with their husbands and children, Leonor Haw and Betty Davis. Walking down the street again, we passed “M. J. Hopping, Drugs, Stationery, etc., Doctors prescriptions Only”. Next door, a large plate glass window announced, Marjorie Joyce—Psychiatrist, Specialist in Criminality and Insanity, and author of ‘The Physical Manifestations of Laughter’.” This astounded me, but more surprises were to come. Suddenly my guide inquired, Did you know that Jim Browne is now a tribal king in Borneo? He was sent there on a government mission with Ross Walker, and has recently succeeded to the throne because he is the tallest man on the island. Ross is Chief Consulting Engineer, Secretary of State, and Court Musician. His brother Neil, who went to Central Africa to teach dry farming to the cannibals, has disappeared.” We made our last stop at the fortune-telling parlor of Millard and Pearl- man. Carole and Eta, each gazing into her own crystal ball, predicted the disappearance of the Spirit, and the end of this Prophecy. 14

On A ' fXfi ' ieciatian NCE again we reach the conclusion of another school year and with it the 1953 publication of the Analecta. Through the years to come, may this edition bring back to us memories of the happiest days of teen-age years. In several ways, this vol¬ ume with its record of achievements, both academic and athletic, is a milestone in our lives. In editing this year book, I have had ample co-operation and help from my co-editors, to whom I am more than grateful. I would especially like to voice my appreciation for the willing assistance extended to me by our principal, Mr. Weir, and by our literary advisor, Miss Calder. Also, I would like to thank our secretary. Miss Johnson, for the small, yet important jobs she has done throughout the year. Hearty thanks are also due to the many advertising firms whose contributions have made this book possible. My gratitude is extended to my fellow students whose write-ups have added much interesting reading to this year book. I consider it a great honour to dedicate this year ' s Analecta to our retiring principal, Mr. Weir. —JIM BROWNE, Editor. 13
