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

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
