EDITOR’S FOREWORD This is tne fiftieth edition of The Analecta - unfortunately, it is also the last. This, the Golden Anniversary edition, we have tried to make one of the best of all The Analectas. The Analecta was preceded by its forebearer, The Echo , which became active almost as soon as Central was founded in 1908. The school year 1910-1911 marked the first published issue of The Analecta. The grey, elaborately inscribed cover of the first Analecta bore the rallying call - Advance , a call that exemplifies the progressive spirit of Central that has made her so great. Since that issue a Yearbook has come out almost every year with the exception of the years of World War I. In a later portion of this book you will see some old and historic photographs of some of Central ' s first teams - photographs that will serve as a continuing reminder of the heritage that will largely disappear with the end of Central High School. Many things combine to form the heritage of any country or institution. Part of our heritage is attendi ng the same school as our parents; of having trophies from the year 1913; from being able to look back almost sixty years. But the greatness of a heritage depends on the effort that has been expended in building it. Central ' s heritage has been built by its teachers who have striven to keep academic standards high; students who have respected and honoured their school, and who have proven their patriotism to their country in two World Wars; and by the performance of this school, a small one which has been consistently above average in both athletics and academic activities. Although C.C.I., as we know her, will cease to exist next year, we can hope that some of her spirit and tradition can be instilled into the new Central Memorial High School. Unfortunately, the new school will lack what is perhaps Central ' s greatest tradition: not Bike Day, but Mr. Churchill. In the lower hall there is a picture of a very young gentleman named J. W. Churchill, the coach of the 1923 girls ' basketball team. For over forty years Mr. Churchill has taught physics and mathematics at Central; his speeches and pep talks have been treas¬ ured words at Central for many years - The team that won ' t be beat, can ' t be beat! This year he was appointed principal of Central. It is sad but perhaps appropriate that the students of the City of Calgary should lose both Mr. Church¬ ill and Central High School the same year. It is with this in mind that we, the staff of this Yearbook, representing the entire student body of the school, respectfully dedicate this, the Golden Anniversary Edition of The Analecta, to Mr. Churchill. To him we offer our deepest and most sincere thanks; and our best wishes for his happiness in the future. J5. Ps rus UL YEARBOOK IN PRODUCTION - A place for everything?
