% I Analecta ' 55 Vol. 40 JUNE, 1955 No. 1 Published by the Students of Central Collegiate Institute CALGARY, ALBERTA, CANADA JTOR the past twenty years it has been my privilege to serve as vice-principal of Central High School. During that time probably thirty-five hundred students have come and gone. We revere the memory of seventy-one of that number who gave their Wm y° un 9 lives in the Second World War that ■ freedom might not be driven from the earth. ■ The others we find the world over, many I B mKm occupying prominent positions in the pro- M fessions, in business and in industry. We W.m -wk IB ,WV?|- are thrilled each time we hear of another and feel thankful that we have had some small share in his or her training. Twenty years is a long time, approximately half of one’s working years. It has meant for me probably twenty thousand math, periods, five hundred Hi-Y meetings, a hundred rugby games and a like number of basketball games, twenty track meets, numerous council meetings, Home and School meetings, graduation exercises, graduation dinners and other social functions. It has been a real satisfaction to share with the students in their wins and their losses, their joys and their sorrows; and to remember that there have been more joys than sorrows and more wins than losses. In 1935 the problem confronting the high schools was the rapidly increas¬ ing high school population and to make provision for it. Since the turn of the century the numbers have continually increased until they included a very high percentage of the teen-age group. The great majority were in the academic high schools, attempting the matriculation program for which many students were not suited. Since that time the attention of the educational authorities has been centered on the provision of courses suited to the needs of the masses; the number of such is almost unlimited. Unfortunately many courses have been made compulsory for matriculation students at the expense of generally accepted matriculation courses. This procedure has continued until in 1954, for the first time in the history of Central High School we found our senior matriculation graduates, even with honour standing being refused admission to many courses at universities outside Alberta and it is necessary for students who want them to expend time and money to make up the deficiencies in their matriculation program. Surely this condition cannot be allowed to continue. Surely provision will be made for at least a group of schools in the province to offer a matriculation program acceptable to universities across Canada including Royal Military College and Royal Roads. May Central High School be in that group so that our graduates will, as before, be not only accepted but welcomed. May they also have fun doing it by maintaining a prominent place in sports and in worth- (Continued on Page 28) Gante it± VALEDICTORIES . 12-13 GRADUATES . 15 UNDERGRADUATES . 31 ALUMNI . 55 ACTIVITIES . 59 ATHLETICS . 77 AWARDS . 103 ADVERTISING 111 1 . r y4 2i i v .

' ieciation GAIN another school year has concluded and with it comes the completion of our 1955 Analecta, the historical and pictorial review of this past year’s happenings. I hope that in the years to come when you browse through this, it may provide pleasant memories of your years at Central High. Last fall, when I was asked to be editor of this year book, I was greatly honoured to accept such a position. Then as the months progressed, and the preparation of the Analecta became increasingly difficult, I found myself depending more and more upon my co-editors. There were also many “behind the scene aids” for which I would like to add a word of praise. The firms who contracted with us through advertise¬ ments to make this publication possible deserve our sincere appreciation. Mr. Foster’s sage advice in the handling of the business, Mrs. Stewart’s knowledge as Literary Advisor and Mrs. Hutchinson’s aid in many important jobs also proved invaluable. For this co-operation I am extremely grateful. On behalf of all concerned with the 1955 Analecta may I say to the under¬ graduates that it will be your job to continue to uphold the successful precedent of our Central High School annual. Do this with the ability that I am confident you possess. Finally, it is my pleasure to dedicate this year ' s Analecta to our retiring vice-principal, Mr. W. G. E. Pulleyblank. -BRUCE JACKSON, Editor. 11 VaU.dictoJui 1955 ! This year has a special significance for the citizens of Alberta. It marks her Golden Jubilee—fifty years of provincehood and fifty years of outstanding progress and expansion. But this year has a more immediate significance for those of us who are now about to leave Central High School. It marks our Graduation, the ob¬ jective for which we have been striving during the past welve years. It also marks our last and most memorable year of high school. Our years at C.C.I. have been like a dramatic production composed of both tragedy and comedy. We, the protagonists and players, have been confronted with various obstacles, some of which we were able to overcome while others defeated us. We were a bewildered, tense cast when the curtain rose three years ago on Grade Ten. The props and scenery were strange and unfamiliar to us; the stage itself, enormous and uninviting. But we made our way through the first act successfully. During the second act. Grade Eleven, We gained confidence and ease in our roles and we became increasingly aware of our parts in the large cast. The third and final act began last fall. It proved to be more difficult than the previous ones. The script called for a great deal more time and study. And now, we are preparing for the climax, which is only a few short scenes away. Our major role has been to master the academic fundamentals which are so necessary in this fast advancing and exacting world. It has been a long, hard role, but it has provided us with a broad foundation for higher education and professional training. From it we have developed good mental habits, logical thinking, and sustained reasoning. It has broadened our views con¬ siderably. The props for this role have consisted of new desks, coverless books, dull pencils, and the unforgettable miniature steam engine and pickled frog. We have played our minor roles in various costumes—football helmets, cheerleader costumes, basketball uniforms, and track shoes. These parts have taught us the meaning of fair play and comradeship. They have relieved the tension and monotony of the curriculum. This year, the spotlight shone on us in basketball when the senior team captured the provincial championship. The production could not have taken place without the guidance and direction given by the teaching staff. They have prompted us when we have (Continued on Page 30) 12 ROOKING back on my years at Central High School, I have great pleasure in recalling many experiences of this school which, having taken us into its fold as be¬ wildered overgrown children, has striven ceaselessly to develop us into young adults prepared to face the trials and responsibil¬ ities of the world at large. I am sure it will be proved that Central has been as success¬ ful in its aims for this present group or grad¬ uating students as it has been over its many years. Although we are all proud to have reached graduation night, we cannot, as we remember the enjoyable years spent here, contemplate leaving without some feelings of regret. However, tonight we must, like Janus, look to the future as well as to the past. In our democratic society, individual freedom demands individual responsibilities and much of our success will depend on how well we have learned the principles of individual hard work and friendly relations with our fellows which Central has endeavored to teach us. But we also must recognize our debt to our parents who have devoted much of their own lives to our education and training, abandoning unselfishly their own desires. The future may bring difficulties but we shall always carry with us Central’s heritage of hard work, fair play and good fellowship. One of the outstanding features of Central ' s curriculum is the constant emphasis on an academic liberal arts education rather than an subjects con¬ sidered by some to have more practical value. As a result of this pursuit of academic subjects, the students have an advantage of more disciplined thinking and broader general knowledge than have students taking strictly vocational courses. Again, it must be remembered that much of the success of this ideal results from the great interest which our teachers have taken in us. Their unselfish efforts, although often unappreciated at the time, will be remembered by the students with gratitude for the rest of their lives. Unfortunately, I cannot give each teacher the special mention which everyone deserves, but I should like to express the student appreciation of our Principal, Mr. Gordon Foster—friend, advisor and guiding spirit of Central, to whom all students owe a common debt. Sir, may I extend to you, the special thanks of the graduating class. That we shall be glad to leave Central is a foregone conclusion; that we shall have some regrets at leaving is the present emotion. But we shall leave, filled with pride of the old school and with fond memories of the teachers so much a part of it. 13 —JOHN TURNER. REBECCA AIZENMAN— ' Alphabetically Speaking, You’re O.K.

To those who are leaving Central this year I extend my best wishes for success in all future endeavors. To those who will return next fall—both teachers and students—I offer congratulations that you are privileged to have more time at Central High School. —W. G. E. PULLEYBLANK. 28 Pnapitectf, Mount Royal College, June 31, 1956. Dear C.C.I.: Imagine, it was only twelve months ago that we graduated from Central High School. Some of the most amazing things have happened to our fellow classmates since then. Practically everyone in both Canada and the U.S. watches Bob Alex¬ ander’s Sunday night T.V. show. Norm (Waxy) Weismose, international skier is Bob’s business manager. Oil tycoon “Gusher’’ Fenton, dropped back in town the other day to say hello. He said he had been in New York recently and had dropped into Pogue’s Palladium, the heart of the American entertainment world. On hand there was jazz enthusiast Gary McNabb and his all-girl orchestra. His vocal¬ ist was “Dinah” Babet. Pogue’s Palladium also hosted such other notables as jazzman “Go, Go, Go” Laing, master of the piccolo. Trumpeter Helen MacGregor and the ' Leslie-Bell singers (July Leslie and Gail Bell). He also noted that Pete Nicholson gave mambo lessons to all who cared to learn. ‘The Three Haircuts’, Jim Kelly, Waiter Mosser and John Turner were also on hand. It was reported the other day by Alderman E. Froberg that Dr. Donald Bures had finally conquered a theory which expounded many scientific com¬ plexities previously understood only by Dr. G. Hurst and Dr. Malcolm Brown. This theory, the Wydrzycki Theory, involved a memory course on how to spell people’s last names. Journalism continues to be a favorite pastime with many ex-Centralites. Victor Rempel’s book entitled “Three Easy Lessons on How to Play Outdoor Ping Pong” proved to be a best-seller. Don Williams’ “You Too Can Be The Life at the Party” also went over well, not to mention Dave Campbell ' s book “How To Win Friends and Break Track Records”. The Calgary newspapers, which are controlled by the Bartlett Publishing Syndicate, have much to offer of interest. While rambling through M. Gor- asht’s column, “Merv’s Society Tips”, we noticed that Messrs. Powell, Clap- ham, Kelba and Davidman poured tea at the annual social bonanza the “Ram- Zaar”. Honored at this year’s function was that emminent authority on child psychology Sir Cecil of Eaves. Turning to the sports page it was interesting to note that Lionel Singleton had set a new record in the caber toss. His outstanding feat, was surpassed only by Robert McArthur’s conquest of the City and District Pool Champion¬ ships. Experts of the cue Hudson, Chapeau and Letrud, eliminated in prev¬ ious competitions, looked on in amazement at Mr. McA’s achievements. An advertisement that immediately caught our attention was one pub¬ licizing Bond’s Eye Wash (now you too can have eyes that flash like mine for only 59c). It was situated next to an ad. which urged you to ‘Learn to Drive the Baker Way’. Doreen’s advertisement featured a testimonial from that celebrated example of cautious driving, Bob (I’ll see you in traffic court) Vallat. Several of the graduates of 1955 are now famous movie personalities. For at present a remake of “Gone With the Wind” starring “Marilyn” Pearlman, “Clark” Whitman, “Rita’ Fisher and “Rory” McNamara is showing at :o Barenholtz Drive-Inn. On the same bill is a comedy starring those two hum¬ orists Litzenberger and Whittaker. The title of this comedy is “The Secret Lives of Beth Mclnnes.” Last week we attended a lecture given by Professor Douglas Turner, Dean of Millarville University, who spoke on “The Essentials of Good Sportsman¬ ship”. Accompanying him was Mr. R. Powell, the world’s greatest living authority. Also present at the lecture were R. Brandt, inventor of the no¬ slip can opener, D. Edmonds, distinguished gentleman of scholarly leisure and S. Molyneaux, chief basketball scout for the Midnapore Lakers. This spring Calgary society welcomed twelve lovely debutantes. These were: Gerri Carey, Edith Galbraith, Jacquie Inglis, Marilyn Johnson, Joan Calder, Dena Beard, Carol Blenner-Hassett, Martha Houghton, Mona Morup, Margaret Salter, Sandra Stewart and Dennis Collins. An exhibition of paintings by Yvonne (Andrea Del Sarto) Allan, Philip (Van Dyke) Gower, Phyllis (“I Paint for Esquire”) Mulvey, and Jack (A1 Capp) Chritchley were on display at the Coste House. The class of 1955 was not without its share of “Moon-Men”. The first arrivals on the satellite included Alan Easton, chief saucer pilot; Charles Berridge, co-pilot; Doris Shies, navigator; Verne Miller, rear gunner and stewardess, Roberta Kellaway. The “Moon Expedition” was undertaken by the “Big Cheese” Norman Christie. These are but a few of the events in the lives of some of the enterprising individuals who are now classified as the 1955 graduates of Central High School. Sincerely, The Analecta Staff. VALEDICTORY—(Continued) forgotten lines or missued cues. They have been extremely patient with the timid hesitant actors. They have guided us through dress rehearsals at Christmas and Easter. We, the graduates, are greatly indebted to them and at this time we would like to express our gratitude and appreciation for what they have done. Tonight we are taking a sort of curtain call, although the finale is yet to come. We hope that it will be a success. After the approaching finish most of us will separate and take our place on a much larger stage. We shall inter¬ mingle with a new experienced cast. The script will be long and difficult to master and our directors less sympathetic and co-operative. On this larger stage we shall have to assume the responsibilities of citizenship and it will be one of our major duties to uphold the high standards set by other citizens of Alberta during the past fifty years. And so fellow graduates, as the curtain slowly falls we must take our bow and say farewell to high school, to our beloved C.C.I. and the things we associate with her. Although we take our leave with regret, we already feel the challenge of the future and we turn our faces toward it in eager response and hope. —MARGARET McLEOD. 30 First Row (left to right)—Jennifer Price, Kancy Clark, Shirley Olsen, Diane Jamieson, Marge Whitten, Alice Stoness, Marjery Prelim.

Bob Alexander Vice-President . Dave Tavender Secretary. Mike Brooks Treasurer . Murray Young This year’s Boys’ Hi-Y activities have been many and varied, the main one being their sponsoring of the annual dance. “Freshman’s Friday”. An objective set by the group in 1954 became a reality this year when the group sold more than 225 school sweaters featuring the new design, familiar to all. The profit made from this sale was partly invested in three new football helmets, which were donated to the school team. Throughout this year, as in the past, the Boys’ Hi-Y services of checking tickets, etc., were made available to Central’s various social events. One of the highlights of the year was their participation in the annual Hi-Y, Y-Teen Conference held in Calgary. Following this, six members were sent to the International Hi-Y Conference held at Regina. The season came to a successful conclusion for the group at their annual closing banquet. The Boys’ Hi-Y would like to thank their new mentor, Dr. Miller, for his unceasing efforts and skillful leadership. 61 Activities Senior Girls’ Y-Teen Under the able sponsorship of Miss Jagoe the Senior Girls’ Y-Teen have been involved in many school activities during their 1955 season. The executive which was originally chosen during the preceding year, was: President . Marg. McLeod Vice-President . Marjorie Shorey Secretary. Pat Power Treasurer . Sheila Fisher Early last fall the Y-Teen commenced by welcoming the new girls to the school. A party was held for these future Y-Teeners. Tea-Zaar, the group’s big project, was acknowledged by members and non-members alike to be a great success. At Christmas they accepted a very worthwhile task which was twofold. It was to provide Christmas parcels for needy families in both Korea and England. As Easter drew near Korean and English families were once again the center of the Senior Y-Teen’s attention. At this time a clothing drivejwas held successfully, with the clothes being donated to Korean children. Gifts were also sent to an English orphanage. Hoopster Hop, a dance honor¬ ing the victorious Central basketball team, was the organization’s finale. The Senior Girls’ Y-Teen completed their season officially by presenting the Central High School library with a number of biographies of famous women. At this concluding meeting the new executive for 1956 was chosen. 62 ■Ill 1 ... l 1 W M j a d Junior Girls’ Y-Teen The 1954-55 executive was: President . Pat Campbell Vice-President . Eleanor Betts Secretary. Eleanor Walton Treasurer . Mary Bowden The club members devoted the majority of their time and effort after Christmas towards the preparation of their spring tea and fashion show, the “Shamrock Silhouette”. Earlier club projects included a contribution to the Ontario Floor Relief Fund and a visit to the veterans at the Colonel Belcher Hospital. The Junior Y-Teen sent delegates to the Provincial Y-Teen Conference in April. The conference was held in Edmonton. “Shamrock Silhouette” proved not only to be the group’s main undertak¬ ing, but an outstanding success with Central students. Spring styles in cloth¬ ing were displayed at the fashion show by Joyce Fromson, Donna Harris, Clarice Pearlman, Janet Hyndman, Mary Jane Will, Robin Ransom, Dianne Rowley and Lynne Baines. After the fashion show was completed tea was served. The Junior Y-Teen had a very successful year for which many thanks must go to Miss Suitor and Miss Kay, the group’s capable advisors. 63 Back Row (left to right)—Evelyn Pogmore, Judy Ferrell, Brenda Smolensky, Diane Jamieson, Karen Dalgetty, Pam Watson. Front Row—Jacqueline Curliss, Rosemary Adams, Sharon Adams Majorettes Central has e very right to be proud of their majorettes. The girls enter¬ tained with baton twirling and various acrobatics at school assemblies and at half-time intermissions during the basketball games. The majorettes, Rosemary Adams, Karen Dalgetty, Jackie Curliss, Pam Watson, Judy Ferrell, Diane Jamieson, Evelyn Pogmore and Barbara Smolen¬ sky, were organized by Sharon Adams. Backbends, cartwheels and handstands were but a few of the stunts per¬ formed by Rosemary Adams, the group’s top acrobatic artist. Dressed in their colorful outfits, the majorettes did a great deal to keep up the spirit of Central fans. Congratulations girls! You did a fine job this year. 64 Back Row (left to right)—Sam Murphy, Jim Hudson, Don McKay, Arlene Moulding, Morna Riley, Peter Leveque, Bruce Copeland, Leon Snider.

Beaver Club President . Pamela Jones Vice-President . Katherine Aiken Secretary ..... Penny Moert Treasurer ... Helen MacGregor Sponsor.. Miss Frost The Beavers’ premier presentation of the year was a parody written and directed by Central students entitled “Our School ”. The play, presented in December, proved to be extremely humorous, particularly to the students of Central who could fully appreciate each comical event. Following this play the Beavers as well as The Glee Club and Central Orchestra concentrated their efforts on “Variety Night’’. The drama club contributed two one-act plays, “This Way to Heaven’’ and “Good-Bye to the Clown”. These two plays were selected by adjudicator Mrs. Cormack as ‘sufficiently polished’ to be entered in the Calgary One-Act Play Festival. The Festival took place in March and “Good-Bye to the Clown” was the choice of the Central club to be entered at that time. The play acknowledged by critics to be a superior presentation, copped Central’s first award for dramatics. Funds collected by the group were used to buy additional school stage equipment and to help finance the purchase of a tape recorder. 65 ActuUtiei. The Glee Club The Glee Club, after an absence from school activity of one year, returned with a new, keen interest. The songsters, made up of sixty-five members, including sixteen boys, were ably directed by Mr. Carter. The chorus’ actively participated in many school and outside musical activities. The first of these was “Variety Might” held in February when school Music and Drama Clubs displayed their various abilities. On this occasion the Glee Club sang “Going Home”, “My Heart Stood Still” and “Hallelujah”. Later in the evening they supplemented the popular “Surrey With The Fringe On Top”. Another program in which the group took part was the school Christmas assembly. Here they patterned their music for the Festival Season. In May they performed at the Calgary School Musical Festival. The club’s series of presentations reached a climax in June when they appeared as featured artists at the Graduation Exercises. The group ' s executive consisted of President Elizabeth Patterson and Secretary-Treasurer Sheila Smith. It is hoped that next year s Glee Club will be as successful and as enjoy¬ able as that of 1954-55. The Weeper This year’s Weeper again proved to be the great success it always has been with the students at Central. The publication, under the two co-editors of Sheilagh Swan and Gordon Simpson, printed seven issues to the student faculty in 1954-55. Their assist¬ ant editor was Roger Godwin. Into the hands of the Creative Writing class fell the task of writing, assembling and distributing the Weeper. These stud¬ ents gave up a great deal of their time and effort towards making the paper interesting and enjoyable to all. To the students outside of the Creative Writing Class who have contrib¬ uted articles goes the group’s sincere appreciation. This year, in addition to distributing a copy of the paper to everyone in the school, several Weepers were exchanged with various other schools in Alberta and the United States. The staff felt that this exchange of school periodicals not only stimulated interest in our own paper, but also boosted inter-school relations. The Weeper Staff would like to take this opportunity to express a special ‘Thank You” to both their Literary Editor, Miss Todd, whose keen interest and knowledge was depended upon at all times, and Mrs. Hutchison, school secretary. The latter’s co-operation in typing and printing the issues proved invaluable. Awards Day Awards Day for 1955 was held June 20. The Frances Woolverton Memorial Trophy was presented to the girl selected to be the best in academic, athletic and other school achievements. A similar award, the Murray Law Trophy, was presented to the best all-round boy. The McKillop and Students’ Council Scholarships were presented to the two students with the highest averages in grades ten and eleven. Letter Crests for athletics and activities combined with various other cups and plaques, etc., were among other awards presented that day. 66 Activities Trip To Edmonton Over 200 Centralites invaded Edmonton’s Victoria Composite High School gymnasium on March 18. The purpose of their visit was to be sure I that the Central Rams won the Provincial Basketball Crown. Four Greyhound buses were chartered by the students for the trip to Edmonton. Two other buses carried the members of the official party which included the players, cheerleaders and majorettes. Accompanying the stud¬ ents’ buses were four Home and School members: Mrs. C. M. Snow, Mrs. Ivy Calder, Mrs. W. K. Allan and Mrs. D. Maguire. The buses left the school at 1:00 p.m. Upon their arrival in Edmonton j a tour was made of the University of Alberta Campus. A delicious dinner | was served at the University Cafeteria. The highlight of the trip was the thrilling basketball game which Central | won by a close 45-44 score. After the game a dance was held. Many of I the students also toured the high school which had a lovely swimming pool, j gym and auditorium. The return trip to Calgary was indeed a joyous one. When the fans i reached home at 5:00 a.m. they were very tired, but happy! Assemblies Central’s first assembly of the 1954-55 term not only welcomed the new I students, but it served to inform the pupils of the school of the plans and pro- 1 cedure for the coming year. Among the guests who were in attendance to boost interest in the football season were Stampeder representatives Eddie LeBaron, Sugarfoot Anderson, Tom Miner and Bob Robinett. Dessa Jennings and Donald McKay, grade X students, were presented with Bennett Scholarships. At the next assembly the sixteen nominees for executive positions on the Students’ Council were allotted time for campaign speeches. Several selec- tions by the school orchestra concluded the program. The P.P.C.L.I. Band under the baton of Captain McLeod entertained the students with popular and classical selections at an assembly held in November. The annual Christmas Assembly arranged by Mr. Carter and Mr. C. Mossop, was a delightful prelude to Christmas. The school orchestra and the Glee Club led the students in the singing of Christmas Carols. The solo¬ ists were Mary Graden, Judy Taylor, John Prince, Sinclair Young, Don Boyce, Morna Riley, Judy Ferrell and Gerald Lamont. Bob Alexander’s selections on the marimbaphone were also particularly popular. A basketball assembly was held the week before the basketball finals in March. Doug Turner introduced the senior basketball team and Dave Tavender presented the members of the junior squad. After an encouraging speech by Mr. John Mayell, Calgary Sports Director, the majorettes performed. The | cheerleaders then led the students in many of the school cheers: Central, Central, Rah! Rah! Rah! 67 HctiaUied. Freshman’s Friday Again this year the Boys ' Hi-Y came through with flying colors with their annual Freshman’s Friday dance. The dance, tabbed as a great box-office success, opened festivities one frosty Friday last October at 8:30 p.m. in the school auditorium. Entertainment galore ruled the night as on-the-spot performances were given by Liberace, the Moulin Rouge Chorus Line and Dr. A. J. L. Smith, Doctor of Polygamy at Didsbury University. The program supervisor was bob Alexander and the dance’s Master of Ceremonies was Jim Kelly. The proceeds of the dance were contributed to the school’s sports equip¬ ment fund and towards financing a delegation to the International Hi-Y Conference. It can be truly said that a good time was had by all!! Hoopster Hop The Date—Friday, March 25. The l ime—8:30 p.m. The Scene—Central High Auditorium. The Occasion—Hoopsier Hop nonoring Central’s basketball teams. The Cast—Central senior Uiris’ Y-Teen. The bntertainrnent—Hnnie Oakley, Johnnie Ray, “Marlene ’ Brando, French Can-Can Uiris, and The basketball Heroes”. Decorations—-Colorful. The Results—Humorous. The Music—Recorded. Dancing—Square dances called by Mr. Churchill. Special 1 hanks to—Miss Jagoe, Mr. Churchill and Sheila Fisher, program convener. The Ending—Much too soon. Council Capers “Central’s last big dance was truly the best . This was the opinion of ail who saw the fine imported talent and music last May 13th. The evening’s events commenced with a musical duet by Andy Dawes and Marilyn Corbett on violin and piano respectively. After this, humor was placed to one side, and those two stellar appreciates of culture, Donna (I c’n do a soft shoe too!) Riback and Will (he patched up a crack in the Liberty Bell) Galloway, presented dramatic feats rarely before witnessed at Central. Donna ‘took off Annie Oakley and Will went to town on Davy Crockett. Ahh, but this was only the beginning, as top flight instrumentalists were to follow. These musicians, the ‘Reg-Heads’ formed a trio playing many favorite selections. This latter group was led by jazzman Reg McNamara. Other entertainers that rounded out’ Reg’s drum solos were vibraphonist Bob Alex¬ ander and pianist A1 Laing. The skits were followed by square dancing called by Central’s answer to Burl Ives. Mr. Churchill. After this, regular dancing continued till 11:30. All agreed that the fes¬ tivities ended too soon and that our Students’ Council did a great job of spon¬ soring this dance. 6S Back Row (left to right) —Bill Taylor, Doris Schles.

The Orchestra After a year of inactivity, the school orchestra this season enjoyed a great deal of success under the capable supervision of Mr. Carter. Twice weekly the group held practice sessions in the school library. These sessions proved enjoyable to all the participants as well as to many , onlookers. During the year the orchestra, consisting of sixteen members, has played at several assemblies, for the Home and School Association and at the School’s Open House last March. The C.C.I. musicians also took part in Variety Night held in February, entered the Musical Festival in the spring and played at the Grade Twelve graduation. Next year, the orchestra hopes to obtain uniforms, having already set aside certain funds for this purpose. Students of Central should be proud of their school orchestra, for it has come a long way in the past year. Next year, through the expert guidance of Mr. Carter, the orchestra’s activities hope to be even bigger and better. 69 Activities 3 Central Home and School Association The activities of the 1954-55 Central High School Home and School Association from early September to mid-June have been many and varied. The association was proud to announce that their membership had soared to a new all-time high. This was achieved before Christmas. In March the home and School Association assisted in sponsoring the trip to Edmonton, made by two hundred Central students. Later in March, the school’s parent body presented a Student-Parent evening. At this time several students performed at various sports and activ¬ ities for the parents. At the Provincial Home and School Association meeting, the Central Home and School representatives were responsible for the passing of several recom¬ mendations which will later lead to legislation. The Graduation Banquet, the chiet undertaking of the Home and School, was a titling climax to a successful season. To the group, the graduates would like to say “Thank You’’ tor an “always to be remembered” farewell evening. TEA-ZAAR Central’s Marine Room, which had formerly been referred to as the gym, was the scene of Tea-Zaar, presented by the Senior Girls’ Y-Teen on November 25th. The decorations featured scenes of aquatic beauty. In the balcony was a replica of a shipwrecked galleon and on the stage stood a chest of pirates’ silver. Beautiful mermaids and exotic tropical tish added color to the pro¬ ceedings. bnaring the honors at the tea tables were Mrs. G. Pulleyblank, Mrs. G. W. Foster, Mrs. R. Warren, Mrs. H. Martin, Miss N. James, Miss M. Suitor, Miss F. Todd and Mrs. E. R. Shorey. Receiving the guests at the door were Mrs. McLeod, Margaret McLeod, Miss E. Jagoe and Marjorie Shorey. The hard-working committee heads were: Jean King, home cooking; Bev. Johanson, bazaar table; Doreen Baker, kitchen; Dorothy Bond, equipment; Donna Riback, students’ booth; Jacquie Ingiis, publicity; Sandra Watson, tickets; Marg. Salter, decorations; and Martha Houghton, serving. The credit for the success of this project belongs to the members of Senior Y-Teen and their advisor, Miss E. Jagoe. The French Club The officers of the French Club were: President .. Joan Witherspoon Vice-President . Carol Blenner-Hassett Secretary . Helen MacGregor Advisors. Miss J. Maxwell, Mrs. P. C. Kay At the regular weekly meetings of the French Club, the girls listened to French records and practised French conversation. The members also par¬ ticipated in Circle Francais, or inter-school French Club meetings. In February, the French Club held their annual Candy Sale, the proceeds being contributed to the French Scholarship Fund. The members of the club would like to compliment Miss Maxwell and Mrs. Kay on their fine job of furthering the study of French in this organization. 70 Front Row (left to right) —Bev Johanson, Judy Leslie, Phyllis Mulvey, Kay Reed, Wendy McDonald, Gail Smith, Mary Whittaker, Joan Calder, Marg.

Booster Club The Booster Club was formed this year to promote school spirit. The members of the executive were: President . Wendy McDonald Vice-President . Gail Smith Secretary-Treasurer . Kay Reed Advisors. Miss James, Miss Suitor The Booster Club publicized all of the athletic events in the school and held cheer rallies during the football and basketball seasons. This enthus¬ iastic organization also sold pom-poms, rosettes, balloons and track hats at various times throughout the year. “Booster Bounce”, the club ' s successful dance, was held in October. With the proceeds of this dance, and donations from the Students’ Council and Boys’ Hi-Y, the club was able to purchase new uniforms for the cheer¬ leaders. Batons were provided for the majorettes and megaphones were bought for the cheerleaders. A pin designing contest, which was won by Vivian Swischuck, was sponsored by the Booster Club. The pins were presented to the top four graduating girl athletes on Awards Day. Members of the Booster Club aided in organizing the trip to Edmonton for the basketball final. They also assisted the Beaver Club and the Boys’ Athletic Association in many of their endeavors. ActuUtieA. GRADUATION EXERCISES June 6 was the date selected for the Graduates to bid their fond farewell to Central High School. It was a very impressive ceremony, with Margaret McLeod and John Turner being the valedictorians for the Graduating Class of ’55. The chairman on the occasion was Mr. L. Dudley Ward of the Calgary School Board. The opening invocation was given by Rev. Lynden C. Lawson. Miss F. S. Todd and Mr. G. W. Foster introduced the proud graduates. Following this a very interesting talk was given by Mr. J. Rimmer. His address, directed specifically to the honored students, touched upon many aspects of just exactly ‘what was to be expected of a Central graduate’. Entertainment was next on the program. Bob Alexander with his marim- baphone played several popular selections which met with the instant approval of the graduates and parents alike. Central’s beloved Orchestra and Glee Clubs also provided delightful musical selections. A vocal solo by talented Sharon Stewart rounded out the evening’s entertainment. The beautiful graduation service was brought to a close by the singing of “God Save The Queen’’. GRADUATION DANCE Central’s 1955 Graduating Class gathered on Friday, June 3 for their final banquet and dance. The school gymnasium was beautifully decorated in several shades of blue. This spring theme gave one the impression of a moonlit night. Mr. J. W. Churchill, genial Central High School physics teacher, was the Master of Ceremonies for the evening. Music for the occasion was provided by Jac Friedenberg and his orchestra. This orchestra, the financing of which was undertaken by the Senior Y-Teen, Boys’ Hi-Y and Students’ Council, proved extremely popular with the grad¬ uates and their escorts. At the end of the dance the singing of the traditional “Auld ' Lang Syne” seemed to have a new meaning to these ‘grads of ’55”. Thanks go to Rochelle Katzin and her committee for a fine job of decor¬ ating the gym and to the Central High Home and School Association who gave the graduates the best Graduation Dance yet. 72 1. Let me introduce our laggard student policy! 2. The Thinker (Galloway). 3. Latin will live, it sustains . . . 4. I can tame snakes too (Weismose). 5. You too can dance the Delmar way! 6.

She: “You may take me to the dance tonight unless (coyly) you meet someone more attractive in the meantime,’’ He: “I say, that’s jolly sporting of you. We’ll leave it at that then shall we?” A painter, who was painting the ceiling of an insane asylum, was approached by one of the inmates. Said the mad one, “Say, mister, have you got a good hold on that paint brush?” “Sure, why?” “You better hang on qht, I’m going to move the ladder.” 73 Activities Camera Club During the school term 1954-55 the Camera Club, as a school club, was inactive, despite the fact that there is a fairly adequate darkroom on the third floor. As this school offers its students a wide variety of activities no club should exist unless there is a decided demand for it, and unless there is a member of the staff willing to be its advisor. In its place this year three former members, Peter Leveque, Mike Fenerty and Bob Brownie agreed to act as the school ' s team of photographers who would provide the Anaiecta with a good number of candids. Of these fellows, Peter ' Leveque gave the school outstand¬ ing service and is to be commended for his work and his loyalty. The Science Club The Science Club, one of Central High’s newer organizations, was headed by President Norman Christie, under the able sponsorship of Mr. Churchill. The program throughout the course of the year has consisted chiefly of many interesting films, beginning with an excellent color movie of an Alaskan geophysical survey. This film was supplemented by an interesting comment¬ ary and narration by its author. Among other films shown were a series of six on the mechanics of the flight of an airplane. As well as seeing other scientific films, the group’s activities also included a visit through Calgary’s Ammonia Plant. Later plans were made to include guest speakers who appeared at many meetings and a geophysical field trip which proved interesting to all. Acknowledgments go to Mr. Churchill, the advisor of this new club whose leadership throughout the year made the group’s success possible. The Quartet Another of Central’s newest organizations, the school’s male quartet under the guidance of Mr. Carter, has proved a great success this year. This season’s activities began by assembling two quartets. The two were later amalgamated into one double quartet. The vocalists first sang a combin¬ ation of negro spirituals and popular tunes. Later more complex harmony was undertaken by the group. The double quartet made their first public appearance a successful one. This was before the school assembly at Christmas. Members of the quartet that participated were Don Hamilton, Bob Jull, Chris Gussow, Roger Godwin, Blair Domoney, Gerald Lamont, Bob Brownie, Mike Fenerty and Don Boyce. This year’s progress represents an encouraging start for this enthusiastic group. Much of the credit for the success of the male quartet belongs to Mr. Carter, the school’s musical supervisor. Best of luck to the quartet in the future! 74 Activities Mary Whittaker, Carole Stevens, Janice French, Margaret Glover, Pat Taylor, Roberta Newington, Marjorie Whitten, Betty Lou Kindler. Cheerleaders ‘Yea Central’’ was the fervent cry that issued forth from the auditorium last Sept., for the cheerleading try-outs were being held. It was hard to believe that a group of shy demure Central females c ould make so much noise. The difficult task confronting the veteran cheerleaders Janice French, Mary Whit¬ taker, Pat Taylor, Marg. Glover and Sydney Smith was to choose five new cheerleaders from the sixty girls assembled. The girls selected were Betty Lou Kindler, Roberta Newington, Mona McLaughlin, Carole Stevens and Marjorie Whitten. This year the cheerleaders were given new uniforms. Their white school sweaters and tradition-breaking short purple skirts helped to maintain school spirit. After holding regular practices, the cheerleaders were well prepared to cheer the football, basketball and track teams on to victory. This year the school spirit was at an all-time high and every Central student was proud to sing: Oh, Central High, in praise of you we sing, Across the skys our glorious echoes ring Your sons and daughters we are proud to be Our voices swell a mighty song of victory. With spirits fair and true our teams will play No matter what the odds we know that they Will do their very best to score away and win the day For Central High! 75 Athletic 4 Back Row (left to right) —David Hale, Boak Alexander, Len Wydrzycki, David Tavender, Mr. Hackett, Jim Chaput, Bruce Jackson, Mike Brookes, Doug Turner.

BOYS’ ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION The 1954-55 executive was: President . Cec. Eaves Vice-President . Bob McArthur Secretary . Ray Roth Treasurer . Bob Gooder Advisor. Mr. W. J. Hackett The Boys’ Athletic Association enjoyed one of their most successful years in recent times during 1954-55. This organized group achieved much for Central High School. The association purchased new football uniforms, thirty pairs of football pants, six sweaters and several shoulder pads. A later project was the ‘display panel’ financed by the B.A.A. This ‘panel’ contains pictures of several Central championship teams. It is situated in the main hall near the trophy display shelves. The sponsorship of many school dances, particularly following football and basketball games, was undertaken by this group. In late February it was suggested that the association arrange to have the football room floor painted at their expense. This will be carried out this summer. Selecting the school “lettermen completed the activities of the B.A.A. These letters were presented on Awards Day. The Analecta congratulates the Boys’ Athletic Association under the guid¬ ance of Mr. W. J. Hackett, for their very eventful and successful year. 78 Front Row—Ron Manarey, Dave Tavender, Bob McArthur (Co-Capt), Jim Chaput (Co-Capt.). Reg. McNamara (Capt.), Cec.

Senior Football This year, perhaps more than any other year in recent times, the Central Senior Football Team displayed unbounded courage. The team as a whole should be highly commended for its enthusiasm which resulted in its being a main contender in what proved to be a surprisingly improved league. A great deal of the credit for such a successful team belongs to the new coaches, Bim Campbell and Bill Manarey. They gathered together a group of Centralites, notorious individualists, and molded them into a co-operative parallel. The season’s opener wds a successful one for the Rams from Central, trim¬ ming Western 22-11. Central’s other victorious marches included 17-5 and 18-6 scores over Crescent. The best the Rams could do against St. Mary’s was a 0-0 sawoff. The Purple and Gold tasted defeat twice by 24-12 and 27-7 scores against Western and St. Mary ' s respectively. The “always a bridesmaid but never a bride” squad from C.C.I. were nosed out in the league’s final standings by St. Mary’s. But it was a proud and determined group from Central that performed for the league honors this year. It was predicted last year that “the Rams will roar in fifty-four”. Let’s change it to “the Rams will look alive in fifty-five”. Those members of the team making the All-star selections are to be espec¬ ially congratulated. They were Morris Davidman, Dan Aspden, Curt Brown and Cec. Eaves, great standouts at all times. Centralites making the second All-star team were Jim Chaput and Vic Rempel.

Junior Football Although this season’s Central High School junior football team did not set the league afire, they did prove one thing, that Central had a team that was definitely to be reckoned with in junior circles. The group opened the season in convincing fashion downing a powerful team from St. Mary’s 11-6. After this the proverbial fire was gone and the roof literally fell in. They were snowed under by 9-1, 27-6, and 18-5 scores in following games. Perhaps, if any one cause for the teams’ lack of success were to be singled out, it would be the lack of depth, particularly on the line. Repeatedly losses would occur because of this. But by no means did this discourage the enthus¬ iastic players on the squad. Ron Kelly was a “big gun” for the team, being one of the league’s top scorers. Lionel (Mighty Might) Singleton, Alan (Boomer) Day, Gordon (Buster) Simpson and ' Lyle (The Terror) Irwin also showed to be both great defensive and offensive standouts. Many thanks to coaches Mr. Hackett, Reg. McNamara, Cec. Eaves, and team manager Len Lee. Their continuing perseverance with the squad proved extremely beneficial to the football team. 80 Back kow (leit to rignt;—Kon Manarey, Ron ueratie, Kon Cowell, Doug turner, Dave Campbell, Bob Gooder, Frances Murphy. _ Front Row—Lionel Ravvin, Mr. Hackett (Coach), Bob McArthur.

Senior Boys , Inter scholastic Basketball “It was a beaming Bill Hackett that greeted his team in the dressing-room I after their 45-44 triumph over Edmonton’s Victoria Composite High School’’. I So said Calgary Herald columnist George Bilych after one of the most thrilling I basketball finals witnessed in that city. For this all important single-point I edge meant that Central had finally captured the Inter-City High School Bas- I ketball Championship, the pinnacle of provincial success. The final score is not quite indicative of the school’s showing that March I 18th. Not until the first quarter had ended, did the Rams find mastery of the I tricky backboards. That and the astonishing number of Central fouls from I close checking resulted in an early lead for the Edmonton team. Three C.C.I. I stalwarts that had proved constant workers throughout the regular season, I outdid themselves that night by forechecking and backchecking in many des- I perate efforts to preserve their slim margin. These were captain Doug Turner, I star center Ron Powell, and team high-scorer Bob McArthur. Previously, on March 11, these same Rams conquered a game band of I Hilltoppers from Crescent Heights by a 62-51 score in the second contest of I the two-game total-point final. Only a concerted bid in the third quarter, I possibly Central’s finest showing in the play-downs, was able to overcome a I brilliant display by hoopsters Wally Macintosh, Bill Duma and Dick Dais. I Highlighting the Ram’s effort were Turner, McArthur and Powell, who togeth- I er registered 52 points. As the two-game tally was 117-103 for the Purple I and Gold, Central once again held the coveted Gas Company Trophy. 81 Back Row (left to right)—Ross Allison, George Henderson, Byron Jacobson, Boak Alexander, Bernard Churchill, Dale Parkinson, Bob Hopper, Pat Bartlett, Jack Dickson, Gary Norton. Front Row—Bob Joyce, David Tavfcnder, Bill Morton. Junior Boys’ Inter scholastic Basketball The Central Golden Ramblers completed a successful season in 1955 by losing only two of eight regularly scheduled encounters, thus ensuring them¬ selves a berth in the city finals. The playdown, second of a two-game total-point series, took place on March 11. Despite great individual performances, Central was second best that night, as a rallying group of Crescent Juniors retained the T. Eaton Trophy in the close 46-39 match. Our able coaches also produced many top-flight personal stars. Captain Dave Tavender, a prolific scorer all season long, was second in the individual league scoring race with 82 points. He also notched 11 points on the night of the final playdown. Top marks must also go to one of the league’s most reliable players, Boak Alexander. Boak finished up the season with 81 points for third spot. Dale Parkinson, Bob Joyce, Bob Hopper, Bernard Churchill and Ross Allison were but a few of the other sound performers for C.C.I. Yes, this has been a successful season for the Ramblers. A great deal of the credit should be attributed to coaches Joe Ferguson and Vic Beaudry, who guided the team so well throughout the season. 82 1. The Champions! I 2. Turner Tallies.

Senior Boys’ House League Basketball A fast-moving brand of basketball highlighted the 1955 Senior House League Basketball. As there were no playoffs, the respective teams realized the importance of each league game. The four teams were led by Doug. Turner, Bob McArthur, Curt Brown and Cec. Eaves. As the twelve game schedule drew to a close Turner’s team showed best, losing only two games at final tally. Bob McArthur’s team was the main contender by winning seven games and tying one for runner-up position. Doug. (Crazy-legs) Turner was top individual scorer, being closely challenged by many other players including Ron Powell. Supervisors Mr. Brookes and Mr. Hackett are commended for their league assistance this season. 84 Back Row (left to right)—Bob Gooder (Coach), Dennis Collins, Bernard Churchill, Richard Odland, Bill Clapham (Coach). Front Row—Mervin Gorasht, Don Wilson, Brian Beattie, Bob Joyce. Junior Boys’ House League Basketball Close competition sparked this year’s Junior House League Basketball. As a result the four teams in the junior circuit were involved in many close battles. The league captains were Bernard Churchill, Paul Whitman, Ross Allison and Charles Coates. Churchill’s team proved victorious by gaining 19 points over the season. Whitman’s septet were in the runner-up position with 14 points. Even closer competition marked the individual scoring. Bobby Joyce was the best marksman of the league, finishing up with 88 points. This was only a single point better than the effort of Richard King. Mr. Brookes, “league custodian”, deserves the boys’ appreciation for his supervision and guidance during the season. 85 Back Row (left to right)—Norm Louie, Don Maier, Joe Sheinin (Coach), A1 Ferris, Wray Hutchison. Front Row—Jim Taylor, Thornely Darlington, Don Brown. Bantam Boys’ House League Basketball This season the Bantam House League, comprised of four teams, were led by captains Lucien Lieberman, Allan Duncan, Thornley Darlington and Terry Lerner. “Enthusiasm” was the keyword as the Bantams went through their paces each Friday. Many of these players showed well and appear to be certain starters in Interscholastic play next year. Darlington’s team were grand-masters, winning all their eleven games. They won by a ten-point margin over their nearest rival, Lieberman’s team. The remaining two teams were tied with six points each. Team captain Thornley Darlington was also top scorer with 95 points to his credit. These future All-stars would like to thank Mr. Hackett for his Friday afternoon guidance”. 86 Left to Right—John Turner, Chet Bell, Kay Reed, Norm Weismose, Elaine Kellam, Jack Chritchley, King Woodside. Inter scholastic Ski Team Once more Central’s Ski Team skied away with the Union Milk Company Trophy, emblematic of the Calgary Interscholastic Ski Championships. The events covered by the championships were the downhill, slalom and jumping competitions. After this victory even more success lay in store for the team, as they captured the alpine combined trophy and the jumping trophy at the provin¬ cial meet. Members of the Boys’ Ski Team were: King Woodside, Norm. Weismose, Jack Chritchley, Chet Bell, Pete Coldham and John Turner. King Woodside is to be congratulated as he won all of the events in the city meet except the jumping, which was copped by Norm. Weismose. The Girls’ Ski Team consisted of: Elaine Kellam, Pam Townsend, Norma Bannister and Kay Reed. This was the first year that a girls’ interscholastic ski team has competed in the city events. 87 Athleticl Central Ski Club There’s certainly no doubt that Central students are avid skiers. The club’s initial meeting proved this by its overwhelming attendance. At this first meeting great thought was given by all towards forming a competent executive. This was their choice: President. Norm. Weismose Vice-President. King Woodside Secretary. Elaine Kellam Treasurer. Bob Joyce Poor snow conditions hampered the school skiers this season. Continually students were forced to postpone ski excursions for this reason. Only four excursions were held by the Central Ski Club, but these were deemed highly successful. One novelty included this year that hasn’t appeared before was the form¬ ation of a girls’ ski team. Although its activities were unavoidably minimized by lack of organization, the girls felt it was an excellent idea that would, with more organzation, be very successful at a future date. Many a novice as well as the experienced skier enjoyed the trips, excur¬ sions, and meetings held by this 1954-55 Central Ski Club. Back Row (left to right)—Terry Lerner, Doug Turner, George Litzenberger, Tony Reed. Front Row—Lorraine McCullough, Dessa Jennings, Mary Whittaker, Sharon Agnew. Volleyball This year a new sport, volleyball, was introduced to Centralites. A Mixed Volleyball ' League which was divided into two sections, A and B, was formed. Over 200 students took part in the action of the 32 teams. The games played during the noon hours were proclaimed by all to be “lots of fun”! The top team in Division B was captained by Ron Manarey. Doug Turner’s team were victorious in Division A. Turner defeated Manarey in the finals thus becoming the proud possessor of the Bill Brooks Trophy which was presented by the Boys’ Athletic Association. Mr. Hackett and Mr. Brooks are to be congratulated for the part they played in making the Mixed Volleyball League so successful. 89 Back Row (left to right)—Marilyn Johnson, Sally Williams, Doug Turner (Coach), Sharon Molineaux, Ann Greenfield, Pat Power.

Curling Team Central’s curling enthusiasts have once more completed another successful years play. The boys met twice weekly during the curling season. Our school entered the maximum number of rinks, four, in the Inter¬ scholastic Bonspiel. The rink skipped by Mike Brookes spearheaded the Centralites. Mike’s lead, second and third were Charles Berridge, Bill Harris and Ken Mclvor, respectively. Other team captains were John Thorpe, Art Skau and Norm Christie. Central was also well represented at the Lethbridge Curling Playdowns. The foursome led by Norm Christie surprised ail by capturing third spot in the Haig Trophy event. His was the only Calgary team that placed in the competition. The Curling Club would like to express their thanks to Dr. Miller, club supervisor, and to the Elks Club who underwrote Calgary high school curling. The group looks forward to another successful season in 1956. 96 Bowling Club Once again the noise and confusion connected with bowling each Friday after school hours reigned supreme at the Olympic Bowling Alleys. The executive of this energetic group was: Honorary President . Mr. Gislason President . Jim Chaput Vice-President. Marilyn Morrison Secretary. Elaine Kellam The Grade XII students that captained this year’s teams were Marilyn Morrison, Elaine Kellam, Martha Houghton, Jim Chaput, Doug Turner, Dave Campbell, Judy Cairns, Lionel Ravvin, Curt Brown, Roberta Kellaway and Bob Gooder. Keen competition marked the league play with ‘Gentleman’ Jim Chaput capturing both men’s high doubles and the team high doubles. Men’s high single winner was Bob Gooder, while ladies’ high doubles went to Donna Ham¬ ilton. Pat Gordon-Cooper was tops in ladies’ high single and Marilyn Morri¬ son’s squad took the team single. The group’s executive as well as the rest of the Central bowlers hope that next year’s Bowling Club is as successful and as entertaining as the 1955 Club. 97 Atldeticl === = THE INTERSCHOLASTIC BOWLING TEAM This year another trophy was added to Central’s collection, the Inter- scholastic Bowling Trophy, donated by the Olympic Bowling Alleys, for annual competition among Calgary high school students. Central’s three teams, composed of fifteen players, garnered a total of 6,984 points. This eclipsed Western, their nearest rival, by 330 points. A great deal of the credit for the success of the team must go to Mar ilyn Morrison and Gary Hurst who won the Girls’ and Boys’ singles bowling championships respectively. Marilyn startled observers by bowling an out¬ standing 319. Gary scored a 236 which proved tops in the boys’ division. Congratulations to these students and to the bowling team as a whole. It’s another Central first! Boys’ Track This year Central’s track stars won the Alex Martin Shield with a total of 104 points. As a result of Central’s brilliant track victory, the school also captured the Alex Ferguson Memorial Trophy, emblematic of high school sports supremacy. The Central boys were victorious in both the senior and junior divisions, thus winning the Paschendale and Vimy Ridge Awards. Once again Dave Campbell starred for Central in the 100 yard dash, the broad jump, and the 220 yard dash, in which he set a new record. Bruce Lewis, Dave Tavender, Boak Alexander, Doug Turner and Reg. McNamara were also outstanding performers.

Tumbling Club The fourteen girls of the Tumbling Club assembled every Thursday at four o’clock in the gymnasium to do their tumbling and springboard stunts under the able supervision of Margaret Glover, the group’s president, and their mentor, Miss James. In previous years the Tumbling Club and its facilities were available only to grade ten girls. This year though, both grade ten and eleven girls partici¬ pated in the organization. As evidence of their hard work the girls put on an excellent exhibition of their talent on Central High School’s Parents’ Night held on March 17th. Congratulations to the Tumbling Club. “Do you know why the little ink drop was sad?” “No, why?” “Because his father was in the pen finishing a sentence.” “Have you seen Mary ' s new gown?” “No, what does it look like?” “Well in most places it looks quite a bit like Mary.” An Elbow Park bus was unusually crowded one morning. A passenger sitting next to the window suddenly buried his head in his arms. The man next to him asked, “Are you sick? Can I do anything for you?” “It’s nothing like that,” the other assured him. “I just hate to see old ladies standing.” 102 Scholarship Winners — 1953-54 1.
