Central Collegiate Institute - Analecta Yearbook (Calgary, Alberta Canada)

Text from Pages 1 - 162 of the 1956 volume:

Analecta ' 56 Vol. 41 JUNE, 1956 No. 1 Published by the Students of Central Collegiate Institute CALGARY, ALBERTA, CANADA FOREWORD “JT WAS the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way—in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superla¬ tive degree of comparison only.” Most of you know that this is the opening sentence of the “Tale of Two Cities written by Charles Dickens sometime after 1850. The setting of this story was around the period 1775, but as the sentence is reared we realize that the idea is just as applicable to 1956. It is interesting to note that Dickens thought that “superlatives” were overworked in 1775. He would be amused and dismayed were he to see to what degrees we are influenced by superlatives today. We are beset on all sides by advertising mediums entreating us to use a bewildering array of products each of which is claimed to be the only possible solution to our expanding needs. “Education for All” has become part of the creed for our present democratic way of life. Education has given more people than ever before a desire for reading,—and writing; so we have clever words, phrases, and jargons penetrating our thoughts and lives. By means of radio, television, books, newspapers, and magazines we are numbed with the extraordinary, the sordid, the brilliant, the dull, the social injustices, until it is difficult to locate the simple truths that are the basis of our civilization. No matter what race or culture a man has been born into, regardless of all extremes, he still requires such basic needs as food, shelter, companionship with family and friends, and spiritual aid. The paths we take to get these necessities have been varied but truthful¬ ness, kindliness, and the helping of those less fortunate are as fundamental as the air we breathe. I would not wish for you a soft, easy way of life. But I hope that with your native intelligence and scholastic training you will learn to distinguish the differences between the true and the false, between right and wrong. Do not in your youth and inexperience confuse wisdom with education, nor tolerance with vacillation. When you have an opportunity to do something worth while—do it. “I shall pass through this world but once. If therefore, there be any kindness I can show, or any good thing I can do, let me do it now; let me not defer it or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.” (DeGrellet). —LOU GOODWIN. 4 CONTENTS VALEDICTORIES . 12-13 GRADUATES . 15 UNDERGRADUATES . 29 ACTIVITIES . 53 ATHLETICS . 73 AWARDS . 99 ALUMNI . 109 ADVERTISING . 113 1 . ll M 1 gjWH 1 THE ANALECTA EDITOR.

Many students have spent much time and thought on its compilation. All who receive the Analecta will join me in thanking them for a job well done. To Mr. Foster, our business advisor; Mr. Gislason, our literary advisor; and Mrs. Hutchinson, the office secretary, we wish to say a sincere “Thank you.” Their guidance and help has been invaluable in the publication of the Analecta. The advertising in the Analecta is a major factor in the financing of this publication. The firms who have purchased space on our pages merit your thanks as well as your consideration of their products and services. Central’s Home and School Association, with Mr. J. Leslie Hill as presi¬ dent, is the largest and most influential in the province of Alberta. The staff and students of Central wish to thank this organization for the Graduating Banquet and Dance and the many interesting meetings held during the past year. The Association’s interest in the welfare of the students has been unflagging. Members of Central’s staff have given generously of their time to chaper¬ one social functions, supervise clubs and organizations, and coach house league and interscholastic sports. To these people, we, the students of Central, express our thanks. Finally, it is my pleasure to dedicate this book to our new Vice-Principal, Mr. J. Winston Churchill. —DAVID HALE, Editor. 11 VALEDICTORY r p ' HIS is our night, Central, yours and mine! It belongs not only to the graduating class but to you also. We students stand on the threshold of a new world, a new realm. Whether we conquer it or not de¬ pends entirely on what we ourselves are and on what we have accomplished during our years with you. When we first passed through your doors we were a parade of timid Grade Tens, pushed into a confusing world in which we could either sink or swim. Your halls were a labyrinth and your rooms unfamiliar. We were faced with the gigantic task of learning to become a part of you, to be “at home” here. YVe began by participating in your sports, joining your activities and playing the game according to your rules. Little by little you became not just a school but “our school”. Your victories became our victories ond your losses our losses. Your teams have fought not only for the cheers of their friends in the stands but also for your approval and, although this year we were not as fortunate as usual, the spirit and desire of the players has been a credit to you. Our life with you has been like the reading of a book, an absorbing book. Every year has been a chapter or a series of chapters, each holding our interest until the end and each marked in some special way for everyone of us. There were the passes, the failures, the football and basketball games, the track meets, the trip to Edmonton; but each paragraph has taken us one step further away from adolescence towards adulthood. We have now reached the climax of the story, thanks to your patience and perseverance in giving us not only scholastic knowledge but character education in the subjects of fair play and initiative. You have taught us the meaning of the world self-dependence and, after the first few wavering steps without our familiar supports, we gradually forgot our need of them. You have helped us to grow up. We hope to be worthy of you. Our future is our own but it is you who have given it to us. These years have been stepping stones over which you have firmly led us, steps leading to university, nursing school, or the world of business. Our principal is your guiding hand and the teachers your skilled and supple fingers. They have probed for our difficulties, not always without pain, and quickly fouijd a cure. Without them this final chapter could never have been written. We now offer them our gratitude for their forbearance and understanding. (Continued on Page 28) 12 VALEDICTORY TODAY we make our official good-by to Central. Here we have worked and played for some three years. Here we have met new teachers, new ideas, new friends. Here, too, we have begun to realize a little better a purpose in life, and have set occupational goals for the future. our When we leave Central, many of us shall go to work, many to further education. Either path is a new one, one we look forward to pursuing; for there we shall have the opportunity of proving ourselves, of putting to use our years of learning. Yet, even in the midst of that absorbing chase, we shall be unable to forget our years at Central, for these years are intimately connected with our mental awakening to our environment: social, scientific, and cultural. As long as we live, we shall always realize that these three years have been crucial in the shaping of our personalities, ideals, and mental attitudes. Were it not for the social contacts made here, for the atmosphere that per¬ vades Central, for the hundred and one classroom incidents we have witnessed and participated in, we would all be different people today. Even more important in this regard were the instructions given us and the examples set for us by our teachers; for their ideas have impressed all of us in some way, and, as the ambassadors of knowledge, they have directed our views on many fields of thought. Perhaps an even more real tie with Central lies in its association for us with these past years of increasing maturity and broadening outlook. We must always remember that it was at Central that we first glimpsed the world beyond, first sensed the challenging problems of life, first made important decisions. Such thoughts must come to mind each time we meet an old acquaintance, each time we make use of the knowledge here gained, each time we reminisce. In fact. Central has become an integral part of our lives, an experience not to be forgotten, a memory to carry with us always. —JOHN BREWS. 13 JULIA ADAMOVICH— You ' re not much help, are you?” Pet Peeve—People who brag.

PROPHECY Prophecy These fates that I will prophecy, Only time will prove but true; And so you Grad’s of Central High I come to pen the fates of you. Of Hale the Physicist, I do read He has, so says the latest journal Perfected that which we all need: Popcorn, with a hulless kernel. Nobel man Radford we must salute, His contribution has made life easier, Cereal from guns we need not shoot, We now can have them soggier, creamier! Our own Olympiad—Patricia Powers, Is dashing to and dashing fro: She’s caught her man, a cold, and all, We proud to have her in our Hall. Through a book store window I perceived, A book, to wit, “Cherchez la Femme”. Pulitzer prize winning—’Twas well received, Author Zemans tells “how” for men. Circus had its yheel called Ferris, Now business has its tycoon Harris, Wheels do roll; so they say, Bill made “his” with curds and Whey! A word or two I must state here Of Scientist friend and old companion. Miss Watson, to whom I toast my cheer, Inventor of the tearless onion. Christopher Evans, the British tout, Has been seen scanning the wickets With the ponies it’s been his lifelong bout His ambition: to have the winning tickets. To Riback and Stevens that medical team, All our eyes must be raised, Of the “Crop” they are the cream, For emptying bed pans they are praised. 27 PROPHECY ta Newspapers all, have their photo. The bylines carry the courageous epic, Of swimmers, Allison, Gale and Hashimoto, They swum the Elbow—“Found it Hectic’’. Pam Jones, I see upon the rostrum, Oration is her folly now, Proclaiming sufferage for all women To her, we men must take a bow. Clark and Clayton’s (The Store for women), Have “Dashing Duds for Dandy Dolls”, Costumes guaranteed to catch your he-men, For this lure, every man falls! Sproule’s sprouts, for Brusseled people, (This alliteration you may well take note) Are the rage; they shout it from the steeple Fried or frozen; to eat with sour-kraut. And so the time has come to say Adieu, But to the Grads, to all of you, I wish the best—the best for years to come, And may you have your share in happiness and fun. —Fred Valentine. VALEDICTORY—Continued. It is with mixed feelings of regret and achievement that we see the pages of these years closing. Soon we will put this book aside and begin another. With the passing of time some of the characters may grow dim, but your motto: “LUX SIT ( ' Let there be light)” is written into our lives. And so, to you Central, to all you mean to us, to your classrooms, even to your halls but, above all, to the teachers who personify for us your spirit we say a reluctant farewell and a fervent thank you. You are our school. We will not forget you.—The Class of ’56. —PAMELA JONES. 28 UNDERGRADUATES Back Row—Jim Maybie, John MacKinnon, Ron Neidermayer, Bill Webster, Ron Fallis, Ross Williams, Wayne McBean, Bob Lamont.

During the year the Orchestra played at Home and School meetings, and for the students at the Christmas Assembly. As an additional service. Central’s Orchestra played for the graduation ceremonies at “The Woods’ Christian Home ”. The last function for the Orchestra, but certainly not the least, was their performance at the Central Graduation ceremonies. The club contributed ably to the program by playing a march as the students entered the auditorium, and later an overture. 61 ACTIVITIES Central’s Orphan Through the combined efforts of the Senior Girls’ Y-Teen, the Boys’ Hi-Y, the Students’ Council, the Booster Club, and the Foster Parents’ Plan for War Children, the students of Central High adopted a twelve-year-old Greek boy— Lakaris Panayotis. ' Lakaris’s father was wounded during an uprising and suffered the loss of his right leg above the knee. As a result, he has been able to find employ¬ ment for a six months’ period only. The family owns a bit of land, a small vineyard and a few olive trees, but even the combined income from the farm and the father’s wages never amounts to more than $14.00 per month. This small sum will be further reduced when Mr. Panayotis is forced to leave his present job. Our war orphan has a sister and an older brother, Aloukus, who is an apprentice carpenter working without pay. Lakaris is well developed, enjoys good health and like his brother, aspires to become a carpenter. The adoption of a war orphan by a group of high school students is some¬ thing unique in Alberta and something for the students of Central High to be extremely proud of. During the months to come, how about writing to Lakaris? If you have any clothes or toys around your home that you no longer have need of, send them, too. You may rest assured that they will be very welcome gifts. Letters and parcels may be sent to the following address: FROM: Foster parent’s name, folder number and address. TO: Lakaris Panayotis, No. 29119G, c o Foster Parents’ Plan for War Children, P.O. Box 65, Station B, Montreal, Quebec. 62 ACTIVITIES a The Glee Club Director .... Mr. E. I. Carter President.

Four songs were sung in harmony by the club and individual carolers voiced various verses. Later, the Glee Club was heard and seen by thousands of Calgarians, when they I appeared on television on the “Feminine View”. The biggest project of the year undertaken by these singers was a “Var- I iety Night”, held in the school auditorium early in April. Songs were presented ] r from “H.M.S. Pinafore”, and “The Mikado”, along with Negro spirituals and I some of the well known classical choral music. Other entertainment included II piano solos by Archie Stone, violin selections by Fran MacDonald and an en- I joyable magician act by Bob Lockwood. The guest artists were the “Halpenny I Singers”, a choir of ten men. May 14th saw the Glee Club entered in a music festival held at Queen ■ Elizabeth Junior High School. The final appearance of the club was made at the grade twelve graduation I exercises, where the graduating class and the other guests were entertained by I [one of the most successful Glee Clubs Central has ever had. 63 ACTIVITIES q bacK Kow—Betty Lou Kindler, Carole Stevens, Eleanor Waidon, Koberta iNewington.

We’ve got the team that’s on the beam, We’ve got the crowd that’s plenty loud, We’ve got the cheers that you can hear, So let’s go Central, let’s go now. This was one of the many yells, led by eight girls in their little purple skirts and white school sweaters, that were heard at all the interscholastic football games, the basketball games, the track meet, and the cheer rallies held during the year. The cheer leaders this year consisted of: Betty-Lou Kindler, Roberta Newington, Carole Stevens, Joyce Matheson, Sally Stucky, Eleanor Waidon, Barbara Weiland, and Debbie Wing. After practicing faithfully three noons a week, these girls were ready to join voices on Friday nights to produce snappy cheers which helped to keep up the morale of the teams. The enthusiasm of this energetic group quickly spread throughout the attending crowds and before the evenings were over, Central’s chant could be heard above all the other schools—“GO, CENTRAL, GO!” 64 ACTIVITIES The Chess Club A new activity took shape this year in the form of the Chess Club. The executive included: Supervisor..... Mr. Gislason President . John Brews Secretary-Treasurer . Vance Marston The aim of this club is to provide a stimulating form of recreation for interested students.

Central’s famous trio, “The Backhouse Five Minus Two”, was in the entertainment spotlight as they played popular. music on the drums, piano and trumpet. From a decorative point of view, the auditorium was decked with black and gold music notes, streamers and balloons. Roberta Newington headed the entertainment and decorating committee. Master of Ceremonies, Fred Valentine, kept the program going so smooth¬ ly that the large crowd was surprised and disappointed when the last dance was announced. Graduation Dance Who of the 1956 graduates will ever be able to forget the Graduation Dinner and Dance given to them by the Central Home and School Association on June 1st? The auditorium was transformed by Vivian Swischuk and her committee with decorations in pastel pink and blue.

The prof, was delivering the final lecture of the term. He dwelt with much emphasis on the fact that each student should devote all the intervening time preparing for the final examinations. “The examination papers are now in the hands of the printer. Are there any question to be asked?” Silence prevailed. Suddenly a voice from the rear inquired. “Who is the printer?” A gent was dangling a line in a river, with no bait on it. A passer-by asked Why don’t you use bait?” “Never use bait, stranger, fishin’ for mamanalees.” “Mamanalees? What in thunder are they?” “Dunno. Never caught any.” Student: “Professor, I can’t go to class today.” Prof.: “Why?” Student: “I don’t feel well.” Prof.: “Where don’t you feel well?” Student: “In class.” 70 CANDIDS Oid home week. “Just a little item I picked up at Woolworth’s.” Lou and her boys. “Dear Dorothy Dix, —” Button, uutton.

Boys’ Athletic Association The Boys’ Athletic Association chose the following officers for the 1955-56 school year: President . Dave Tavender Vice-President . Bernard Churchill Secretary .•.... Tony Reed Treasurer . Boak Alexander Advisor. Mr. W. J. Hackett The association enjoyed one of its most successful seasons, contributing much to Central’s athletics. The boys bought several basketball uniforms, as well as a complete set of practice pants for football. In addition, the associa¬ tion provided for the purchase of shoulder and hip pads for the football team. The list of projects completed this year included the sponsoring of a football dance held in October, and the delivering of Eaton’s fliers, both of which considerably bolstered the athletic fund. A committee from the association brought the season ' s activities to a close, when they selected the Lettermen who received their Crests on Awards Day. Congratulations to the B.A.A. and to their sponsor, Mr. Hackett, on the completion of another successful year! 74 ATHLETICS Back Row—Alan Day, Wayne Beeby, Frank Murphy, Dale Gillard, Bill Rogers, Pat Bartlett, Jack Hagen.

Senior Football Although the Rams did not become a serious threat in this season’s Senior Football League, the interest and enthusiasm of the team and fans never waned. Central approached their games with such incurable optimism that the opposi¬ tion were kept on their toes in several thrilling contests. Central lost all their games this year and Crescent, Western and St. Mary’s, in that order, divided the spoils. The Rams were hampered in several instances by a weak backfield. A further handicap was provided by the fact that only three members of last year’s squad were present. Even so, Central produced many of the most outstanding players in the league, among them Boak Alexander, Mike Brookes, John Dickson, Lisle Irwin, Frank Murphy, and Dave Tavender. Two prominent team members, guard Chester Bell, and center Nester Kelba, were elected to the Senior All-Stars. The future has never looked brighter for a Central team. Those gridders j who were newcomers to the Rams this year will begin next season as exper¬ ienced veterans, thus making Central a formidable contender in Senior I Football. Our congratulations go to Mr. Saarinen, whose fine coaching produced Ian interscholastic team of which Central may well be proud. 75 Back Row—Grant Cameron, Grant Styles, Bill Mygdal, Kent Lyle, Paul Nattal, Gary Burke.

Junior Football Once again the Central Juniors became one of the major contenders for the first position in the Junior Interscholastic Football League. Central fin¬ ished this season’s schedule seven points behind the St. Mary’s Juniors, becoming the runner-up team. The Central Juniors began the season in determined fashion, but were plagued by a two-game losing streak in which St. Mary’s, bolstered by a 35-0 win, leapt ahead. In the next contest, Central blanked Western 10-0, but were unable to withstand the subsequent advances of the powerful St. Mary’s team. In all, St. Mary’s Juniors made six wins, remaining undefeated and finishing in first place. Central was ahead of the pack with a total of two wins, their three losses holding them back to the second position. Several capable Centralites distinguished themselves in Junior play this year. Tom Maguire and Stew Mulvey were particularly outstanding. Ross Christenson, Sheldon Chumir, Norm Hudson and Grant Styles also played top-notch football. Congratulations to the Juniors on a successful season! 76 ATHLETICS Back Row—Nestor Kelba, John Barbarie, Boak Alexander, Pete Leveque, Ken Gale, Byron Jacobson, Frank Merfy, Jack Dickson, Bill Morton.

Senior Boys’ Inter scholastic Basketball % A spirited effort by a courageous team failed to put Central in the winning position in Senior Interscholastic Basketball. The 1955-56 season marked the Rams’ first loss of the Senior title in four years. The Central hoopsters displayed a great enthusiasm and team spirit throughout the schedule. Particularly outstanding players were Boak Alex¬ ander, Pat Bartlett, Frank Murphy, and team high scorer Dave Tavender. As it became apparent during the season, the Rams, last year’s inter-city champions, had suffered seriously through the loss of such stars as Bob Mc¬ Arthur, Doug Turner and Ron Powell. Despite the apparent odds against them. Central opened the season by humbling both Crescent and Western in their first two games. However, the Hillmen recovered, defeating the Rams in their third game and setting the pattern for a series of Crescent wins which were to dominate the league. Led by the remarkable Macintosh, the Crescent Seniors established a lead which they never once relinquished. In five valiant attempts to re-establish them- elves. Central gleaned three wins and suffered two losses. As a result, the ' urple and Gold were held to a second place standing. Central’s aggregate in the two-game total point final was 80, against Crescent’s 102. Our congratulations go to Mr. Hackett, who coached a fine team which hayed a successful season. Our best wishes go to the Central Golden Rams n their bid to recapture the Senior Championship in 1957. 77 ATHLETICS Back Row—Sheldon Chumir, Richard Wallace, George Henderson, Bill Mygdal, Bernard Churchill, Peter Douglas, Thornley Darlington, Dale Parkinson, Ron Fowler, Ross Allison, Ross Christenson, Roily Valentine. Front Row—Carl Saarinen (Coach), Bob Joyce, Garrett Frinkhouser (Manager). Junior Boys’ Inter scholastic Basketball Able coaching and top-notch player material produced another successful Junior Interscholastic? team this year. The Central Golden Ramblers, under the guidance of coach Mr. Saarinen, finished their eight-game schedule with only three losses, two points ahead of their nearest rival. The Ramblers capitalized on the several outstanding returnees and the many capable newcomers which were available to form a powerful team. Bernard Churchill, who carried off the top scoring honors in game after game, was the first-place team scorer, with 80 points to his credit. Ross Allison, Bob Joyce, Dale Parkinson, and Roly Valentine, paced the Juniors to several well-deserved victories. The Junior Interscholastic crown was just within reach when Central entered the two-game total point final against Western. The Ramblers, however, were thwarted in every attempt by a team of determined Junior Red- men. The Westernites took both games of the final, totalling 111 points against Central’s 92. Much of the credit for the Juniors’ fine showing this year must be given to Mr. Saarinen, whose invaluable coaching was greatly appreciated. 78 CAND1DS Now you see it . . . he long arm of authority.

Senior Boys’ House League Basketball The four hard-fighting senior house league teams for the 1955-56 season were captained by Boak Alexander, Lisle Irwin, Frank Murphy, and Dave Tavender. Dave Tavender’s team took the league lead at the beginning to hold it tenaciously throughout the twelve-game schedule. Although the winner’s position was not seriously threatened, interest and excitement were kept high by close competition in individual games. At one point in the series Boak Alexander’s team trailed Tavender’s by the narrow margin of 15 points to 13. However, Tavender pulled well ahead, losing only once and tying once for a total of 21 points. Alexander had 16 points, taking the runner-up position. Number one league scorer was Frank Murphy, closely followed by Pat Bartlett. Murphy netted 124 points for his own team. Mr. Gee is to be thanked for his co-operation in supervising the season’s league play. 80 Back Row—Mickey Palmer, Stew Mulvey, John Walker. Front Row—Geb Clarke, Ken Rogers. Junior Boys’ House League Basketball Dave Ericson, Bill Ingram, Lyne Maxie, and Ken Rogers led the four teams competing in junior house league play during the 1956 season. This year’s series was especially closely-fought, as illustrated by the fact that only two points separated winner and runner-up at the season’s end. Ktn Rogers’ anl ' Lyne Maxie’s teams were closest contenders for top position. Rogers emerged as winner, losing twice and tying once for a total of 19 points. Lyne Maxie, only one game behind, was runner-up. Mickey Palmer, who made a remarkable M3 points, was by far the highest individual scorer. 81 Back Row—Fred Stevens, Doug McDonald, Doug Stanley, ePte Spear, Fred Engle, Mr. Saarinen.

The other house league teams were captained by Abb Ferris, Bob Hodge and Harvey Sheftel. Closest competition was between Abb Ferris’ and Gordie Noland’s team, who showed themselves the strongest contenders for first position. Noland finished with one loss and one tie holding a narrow two-point lead over the runner-up, Ferris, who had two losses and a tie. The top league marksman was team captain Gordie Noland with 114 points to his credit.

More than 300 eager participants signed on for the games this season. The contestants formed thirty-two teams, 16 each in A and B leagues. The exciting noon-hour games proceeded until two top teams, captained by Richard King and Ken Gale, had eliminated all other contenders. Of the finalists, both from A league. Gale won.

Senior Girls’ Inter scholastic Basketball Proof that nothing can stop a good team from winning was Central’s come-back in the second game of the two-game total-point final against Cres¬ cent. The girls lost the first game by seven points, but really showed what a good team is made of when they cleaned Crescent in the second game by a score of 25-15. Central’s final lead came when Vivian Swischuck got two free throws and Sally Williams dumped in two more baskets making the total- point score 45-40, Top scorers in the game were: Vivian Swischuck, Sally Williams and Barb Weiland, each having six points.

Junior Girls’ Inter scholastic Basketball It is obvious to all Centralites that, with a score of 30-27, the only thing our girls lacked when they played Western in the league final, was luck. They had an excellent team, which had a first place standing before the final; two good coaches, Dave Tavender and Boak Alexander, and plenty of team spirit. The team centers were: Peggy Barnsley, Nina Sigurdson and Sharon Todd. Able support in the forward ranks was given by Bonnie Vincent, Diana Wright, Margaret Long, Betty King, and Myrna Naimark.

Senior Girls’ House League Basketball There could have been no doubt in the minds of the spectators who watched the Senior Girls’ House League Basketball teams play that each team was out to win every game. However, as luck would have it there can be only one winner, and this year’s top team was Pat Power’s. The other cap¬ tains were: ' Lynne Clayton, Barb Weiland and Donna Riback. In the final game Pat’s team defeated Lynne’s squad by a score of 35-16. Top scorers in the league were Pat Power and Dianne Jamieson.

It is awarded annually by the Olympic Bowling Alleys to the top Calgary high school bowlers. Central entered four teams with a total of 19 players. This was the first year that Calgary sent a team of 17 high school bowlers to Red Deer for a roll-off versus Edmonton, Rocky Mountain House, Stettler, and Red Deer. Central placed 12 of her students on the team. In the com¬ petition Calgary finished third in the ladies’ team competition and last in the mens’ and mixed team competitions. Judy Hunter was outstanding for Cal¬ gary, bowling 675 for three games in the ladies’ event. In the Western Canada High School Telegraphic Roll-off, Central had eleven out of fifteen bowlers on the team. Again the three sections, Men’s, Ladies’ and Mixed, were represented. On the ' Ladies’ team, Shirley Wark was first, while on the Men’s team Dave Hale was second. Boys’ Track Central boys, although failing to retain the Alex Martin Shield, gave a gallant performance at their 41st annual track and field meet. The aggregate total, which placed the team in fourth position, gave little indication of the spirit and courage they displayed in their events. High jumper Grant Cameron marked up a new record for the junior division. Frank Murphy placed first in the mile run, becoming the first Central runner ever to win the event. Among the other track stars were Jack Hagen, Nestor Kelba, Dave Hale and Boak Alexander.

Girls’ Track The students of Central can truthfully say that their Girls’ Track Team is one of the best that Central has ever produced. Winning the Dr. A. B. Singleton Trophy is not an easy feat, but the Central girls managed to accom¬ plish it with a score of 71points, beating their nearest rival (Western) by 39J4 points. Central won the Henry Birlcs’ Shield for the Junior Class with 33points and the Hudson’s Bay Co. Trophy for the Seniors with a 38 point total. The top girl in the entire Meet was Pat Power who chalked up 15 points for Central. Pat won the 80 Metre Hurdles, the Running Broad Jump, and set a new record for the Senior Girls’ 100 Yard Dash. A hearty “Well Done” should go to Miss James, who supervised the team, and to the following girls: 97 ATHLETICS SENIOR— 100 Yard Dash—Pat Power, 1st; Shirley Wark, 2nd.

There was a certain rather conceited nurse at the hospital who always deducted ten beats from a patient’s pulse to allow for personality. “Would you call for help if I tried to kiss you?’’ “Do you need help?” “Hey! Sit down in front.” “Quit yer kidding. I don’t bend that way.” Telephone Operator; “I’m sorry, sir,—that number has been taken out.” Nestor Kelba on Phone: “Oh, is that so? Well, can you give me any information as to just who has taken her out?” Private: “An MP just hanged himself, Sarge.” Sarge: “Holy smoke! Have you cut him down?” Private: “No. He ain’t dead yet.” 98 AWARDS Scholarship and Prize Winners — 1955 Donald Bures— General Motors Scholarship (Queen’s University)—$4100.00.
