3rd Consolation Prize Mr. McEachern, III A A pie! A Christmas pie! And nought betide+ Thatts scarce a dish for princes, nor so rare But I should ask some relish to't, but stay! That was the dish Jack Horner ate, what time He lodged upon the 'corner-seat and plucked With thumb in dish, the ever luscious plum Which he consumed thereon, to taste, to eat, To eat, perchance to choke !-Ay, there's the rub, For who can say the plum will not call up The thousand natural ills that flesh is heir to? Yet Horner ate, and having eaten, still Pronounced himself contented with himself. Thrice happy man, that thus proclaims himself No slave of conscience, but is justified In his own eyes. 4th Consolation Prize Mr. McLeod, IV A I saw a little cottage lad, ' Who in a corner sate, His happy face it made me glad- A Christmas pie he ate. What is your name, my little boy? Jack Horner, sir, said he, His face lit up with childish joy In sweet simplicity. He put his thumb Within the pie, In search of pleasant food, And said, when he had licked it dry, Kind sir, I'm very good. 5th Consolation Prize Mr. Spencer, II D You can see Jack Horner sitting in the corner of the kitchen, With his little dish of pudding on-his lap 3 If the dish you try to collar, then you bet your bottom dollar, That you'll find he aint indulging in a nap 5 For he shoves his little thumb in, when he hears a person con1in', And he picks the biggest plum that he can see: And he makes this observation, on the present situation- ' Guess you Won't find no one else as good as me! 94 6th Consolation Prize Miss Cathro, III B And so the lad, in simplest garb arrayed Reposed him in an angle of the wall Upon a wooden bench of rustic form. Jack Horner was his name, and often he Reclined upon this selfsame bench, and mused. But now he held, supported on his knees, A dish of goodly fare, wherein he sought With nimble hand, the fairest of the fruits, And, having found, he drew it forth anon, And quoth aloud with perfect courtesy, Good sir, I am anghonest lad withal. 7 F, I 21' U BELIEVE IT OR NOT Naomi, the daughter of Enoch Was 580 years old when she married. Courage Ladies!! Rosenthal- Did you notice that when I asked her to go to the basketball game, she gave me a funny look? Bill- No, she didn't give it to you, Rosy-you always had it I! Emma- What is the exact meaning of the verse beginning: J ack Spratt could eat no fat? Arnold-'fln simple terms it is as follows: Jack Spratt could assimilate no adipose tissue. His wife, on the other hand, pos- sessed an aversion for the more muscular portions of the epithelium. And so between them both you see, they removed all the foreign substance from the surface of that utiliatrian utensil, commonly known as the platter. Do I make myself clear. Emma-Perfectly. The lack of lucidity in these Mother Goose rhymes is amazingly apparent. 95 Galloway-See that chap coming out of the chem. lab.? that's W3lk61', our chem. shark. The poor boy likes girls, but he's so bashful, he acts like his own litmus. Pratt-H Howzat? Galloway- Why, when he's with a girl he turns pink, and when he's alone he gets blue. MR. MATHESON AND MR.

One of the prettiest weddings of the season took place yesterday, in St. SWithin's Church, when handsome Harold L. Knotthere, only son of Henry F. Knotthere, became the husband of Mary G. Flukus. Mr. Knotthere, who is one of the best Tut Toddlers among Pilot Butte's really old families, looked radiant in a dark broadcloth cutaway, the tails of which were edged with rare old braid that has been in the family for years. A pretty touch of sentiment were the trousers of some rich striped material which were said to have been worn by Mr. Knotthere's father and grandfather on their Wedding days. The effect was indeed quaint. The best man, Mr. Arthur Mink, Wore a white semi-stiff, plaited bosom shirt and smart, light grey cashmere trousers, cut wide at the knee and cuff. The pretty groomsmen, who included the Messrs. Gitt, Muffit Slump and Blissit, wore shirts in the rainbow shades with spats and ties to match. The groom and his attendants carried bunches of large red Geraniums. The bride Wore the conventional veil. 97 History Teacher- What is the Pacific Scandal? O.

Who was tuting two tooters to toot: Said the tooters to the tutor- Is it easier to toot or To tutor two tooters to toot? UNCLE OSCAR'S BEAUTY CHATS R.S.R.-It is difficult to suggest a remedy for such excessive blueness of the jowls after shaving as you describe. You had better consult your physician.

A.W.O.L.-You should have had them straightened when young. Why not give up bathing altogether if you are so sensi- tive? GE.-As you say, blushing is most embarrassing. Try wearing an elastic band under the collar, or, if this is too un- comfortable, rub some whitewash well in behind the ears before calling. E.G.S.-If they will keep on growing, I should advise wearing wooden sabots. Perhaps if you soaked them in a strong alum solution it would have a good effect. F.G.-I can think of nothing that would kill the taste, though a good dose of Tanlac might help. Why not ask her to use watercolour? Iunderstand it is not so cloying. Professor Holmes- Is there any connection between the animal and vegetable kingdom? lst Year- Yes, sir 5 Hash. 98 There was a group of boys all down on their knees in a circle the other day, when along came Mr. Sloan.

Wg The spacious halls of the Collegiate Institute were trans- formed, as if by magic, into a magniicent reception room on Tuesday last, by the presence of pale pink tea roses, blooming daffodils and gay gladiolas. The Walls were adorned with the best of Rembrandt's paintings. The occasion Was that of Gerald cutting his ,first Wisdom tooth. During the afternoon the janitors were entertained by the stronger sex of the R.C.I., the 1'eception commenced at 3 p.1n., and took the form of a Musicale.

Following this, Nick played a pianoforte solo, Chopin's Nocturne, showing that he possessed rare technique and chopping it up fairly well. The closing item was a superb harp solo, by Raymond Rosenthal 5 the piece was worthy of Saliva himself. At the conclusion of the programme a dainty tea was served. Monsieurs Waddell and Young poured the Orange Peko, while S. Carpenter cut the ices. W. McElmoyle passed among the guests bearing a dainty bon-bon dish full of garlic. As a con- cluding item, W. WVaddell nimbly danced The Spring Dance. The janitors then betook themselves to their abode in the lower regions of the building, after spending a very enjoyable afternoon. , if . if . OUTLINE OF ENGLISH LITERATURE CBy BOSTIN AUTHWELLD 1.-Thackeray and Dickens It is in his wonderful insight into human nature that Dickens gets his pull over Thackeray, but, on the other hand, his brilliant shafts of satire, together with his keen sense of humour, gives Thackens an almost equal pull over Dickery. Thickery is the humorist, Dackens is the satirist. This renders a parallel com- parison between Dackery and Thickens almost impossible if 4' sfad inlinitumb.

In February the actual attendance reached 962, with 706 students in the 'E Q' UND up R Cy 22-Q Academic classes and 256. in the Vocational J i,Rf departments. The congestion has become so great that, after much careful consideration, a decision was made by the Board to submit a bylaw to provide funds to erect another building to be located on the North Side. As the bylaw has been ratified by the ratepayers and the plans have been completed, it is expected that the new school will be ready for occupation by Januarynext. For the fall term the platoon system in the Commercial Department will be adopted, to take care of the increased numbers. Not only has the attendance increased, but the scope of the school has been broadened during the past two years. In the day classes a student has the option of the following six courses: Teachers, Matriculation, Household Economics, Machine Shop, Commercial and Special Motor Mechanics Courses. Last year four girls, taking the Household Economics Course, received their Second Class Certificates. At the end of the present term ten girls and four boys will sit for Second Class Examinations in Household Economics and Machine Shop Work. Regina is the only centre which offers these courses. The night classes offer an opportunity to any adult to con- tinue his or her education along many lines. Hundreds are taking advantage of these classes and the attendance was 780 in 1921-22. Many graduates of the day classes in the Commercial Department continue their studies by taking the evening classes in Accountancy. During the past year the day and evening classes met the needs of 1,500 students. The health of the students is linked up with their exercises in physical culture and sports. Each student is given a thorough medical examination and corrective exercises are suggested. The aim of the staff is to encourage the students in correct habits of living. All the students are expected to take an active part in at least one game, and this training will be of great benefit in after life. At the same time every student must make good in his or her class standing before becoming a memberiof a first team. The R stands for proficiency in studies as well as in sports. Thus the Collegiate offers a Well-balanced training for all of its students. Lost, Strayed or Stolen.-Mr. Cy.

Arts Editor THE RE COLL IN' The editorial staff decided to bestow a name on The Annual that would withstand the ravages of time and stand for the best the collegiate can boast of. E The name Re Coll In' is taken from the name of our school and it carries with it a hint of memories, long to be recalled. Our Re Coll In' is the product of hours of careful work spent by the editorial staff, and, in all justice to the school and the staff, the students should, one and all, back them to the limit. Heretofore a teacher has been burdened with the responsibility of the compiling of this work, but this year, students alone have handled the work. The success of the undertaking depends entirely upon you-the student body of the purple and gold. To the graduating seniors we wish them every success in life, and may they long continue in pursuit of knowledge. To the remainder of the school we look forward to the day when you will be seniors and we wish you success and happiness in your work. .J By Grace Beaton, III C FACULTY. In the Regina Collegiate Institute there is one great laboratory, where certain workers, known as the faculty, are carrying out tedious and often discouraging experiments. To inactive elements, known as students, they are adding a mixture consisting of Science, Mathematics, Languages, English, History, etc., hoping there- from to produce certain valuable compounds,-thinkers. The laboratory director, Mr. Dolan, is an expert. He can foretcll correctly to two decimal places the marks which any given student will obtain on any given subject, the time to thc exact second when a member of 3A will skip, and other scientific forecasts. Mr. Dolan KG. RQ, having graduated from Queen's University, held the principalship of the Calgary High School and of the Calgary Technical Schools, as well as having held an inspector's position in Alberta, is fully qualified for his position. Mr. Scrimgeour, the Vice Principal, beside compiling time- tables and directing students to their proper studies, heads the Science Department. He is a famous naturalist, having con- ducted numerous expeditions to distant back lanes in search of rare specimens of the species cat, and to the shores of the Wascana for members of the finny family. In the R.C.I. laboratory he instructs the students concerning his specimens, and other scientific subjects. In dispensing scientific knowledge he is assisted by Mr. Holmes, who superintends the manufacture of chlorine and other noxious gases for the asphyxiation of too active students Csuccess to your studies this year, Mr. Holmes, but please come back to R.C.I.!D 5 by Mr. Andrews, who reveals the intricacies of butter-making and the proper way to run a farm 5 and by Mrs. Graham, who has ably replaced Mr. Andrews during his attend- ance at Normal since Christmas. The men of the Mathematics Department, namely: Mr. Campbell, Mr. McLeod, Mr. Hogarth and Mr. Spencer, have successfully decomposed mathematics into its elemental sub- stances, and are now endeavouring to unite them with the students' brains to form stable compounds. Recently Mr. Campbell has complained much of drowsiness, and loss of sleep, but he still insists that the members of his geometry classes keep very wide 11 awake. This may be a more difficult matter next year, for without Mr. McLeod's mighty voice, the school will have an unusual stillness, conducive to sleep. Yes, Mr. McLeod is leaving also, but, as he is going to assume the principalship of the new Collegiate, the students do not feel that they are completely losing him. Mr. Hogarth, although only a member of the staff since September, has already found a prominent and useful place in the school life. Although the students feel that they could scarcely exist without Mr. Spencer, they also feel that in being a mere teacher he is wasting his talents. Undoubtedly, he should enter professional basketball. Not always do we think in terms of x and y, or other mathe- matical or scientific terms, but sometimes in the melodious language of France, or the classic tongue of ancient Rome. Miss Leech and Miss Steeves lead us over the stony paths of French grammar, to the delights of French authors, while Mr. McEachern and Mr. Sloan aid us in our struggles with the prescribed Latin. Miss Leech, who cherishes a secret fondness for coloured balloons Cif she won't admit it, ask IV BJ, shows an unfailing good humour, which makes her classes enjoyable ones. This good nature must be a fundamental characteristic of a French teacher, for Miss Steeves also shows it to a marked degree. Mr. Sloan leaves at the end of the session to continue his studies, and the students of the R.C.I. unite in wishing him the best of luck and sincerely hope that he, too, will return soon. Mr. McEachern has a comprehensive knowledge of Latin and a Chevrolet-but why saymore? Since the products of the R.C.I. laboratory are to be thinkers, it is evident that they must have an harmonious and extensive vocabulary in which to express their thoughts Cif anylj Hence our English Department. Here it is that Miss Cathro, who believes that all members of her English classes should memorize at least a thousand lines of poetry, Miss MacMillan, the boast of the staff's basketball team 5 Mr. Bothwell Cwho sometimes ex- presses strong opinions on society in general and snobocracy in particularb 5 and Mr. Sloan, show their special talents. The talent common to all is the ability to draw from unwilling students an essay a month. And such subjects! Woxv!! If anyone desires to know how the Near East, or indeed any other part of the word, is governed, was governed, or ought to be governed, let them ask Mr. McEwen. Mr. McEwen came from Glasgow last September to teach us such things, and we arc quite enjoying the process. Another new member of the History Department is Mr. King, who is also making clear the 12 why's and wherefore's of former days, and is assisting the 3F form along the tortuous road to departmental exams. The other teachers know that when, on Thursday after- noons, certain members of their classes are absent, those students are standing entranced outside the library door, listening to Sounds and sweet airs, which give delight and hurt not, which issue from said door. For there Miss Riddell is leading the splen- did school orchestra which she has organized and trained. At other hours other music, vocal this time, pours from the Audi- torium, where Miss Riddell once more is leading form singing or the Glee Club. The result of this splendid work is seen and appreciated at our school concerts. Miss Riddell also carries on the art work of the school. But a live Western town like Regina must produce students who are proficient, not only in subjects of study, but also in athletic work. Thus it is that we have instructors in physical culture, until Easter Mrs. W. J. Eadie led the girls of the school in athletic activities, always showing the vim and interest, which endeared her to the girls. After Easter, Mrs. Wilson came to replace her, and she is proving herself a fitting follower. Mr. J. G. Eaclie, who in himself embodies all the attributes of a good physical training, is the instructor of the boys. His jolly smile and chuckle makes him the pal of every boy. There is another laboratory in the collegiate which produces delicious and appetizing smells and dainty sewing in contrast to the odoriferous products of the chemistry laboratory. This department is presided over by two white-robed ladies, Miss Dickson and Miss Allan. Every student envies the girls in this class when they file out with cookies and candy, as well as dainty dresses and hats. Miss Dickson and Miss Allan are not only famed in the science of cooking and sewing, but also as basket- ball fans. Of course, the 'fthinkers produced in this collegiate must have houses to live in, and cars to drive. Thus it is that Mr. Swan, with a magnificent Scotch burr, and many models, instructs the boys in Manual Training. His stage settings for our amateur theatrical productions are always a work of art, and add greatly to the proper enjoyment of the play. Mr. Bongard initiates the boys of the Vocational Department into the mysteries of many mechanical devices, including the intricacies of Fords and Rolls- Roycels. The last, but by no means the least, is our Principal's Secre- tary, Miss Sinclair. She runs the office, runs the typewriter, and runs our examination papers through the Mimeograph. 13 Thus, is it any Wonder that with such a laboratory, such a group of experirnenters, and such material, more successful results are obtained each year?

Mr. James Balfour, K.C., awarded the gold medal to S. Thom and a silver medal to Zelma Teed. Mrs. W. J. Eadie and Mr. J. G. Eadie staged the Annual Easter Concert, under the auspices of the General Literary Society. This was a decided success and Mrs. W. J. Eadie and Mr. J. G. Eadie deserve a great deal of credit for the manner in which this concert was rendered. The concert netted the General Literary Society 36915. 16 General Executive Back Row-K. VVilliams, O.

Sweet Summer, yielding place at her commands, Reveals in fluttering leaves and fruitful lands, And further gives fair warnings thus portrayed- ln withered blossoms, forests drear- That Hoary VVinter's drawing near. Bright beams of sunshine flit among the flowers, Attracting bees with robes of richest splendour, A babbling brook smiles thanks unto the Sender For summer skies and April's welcome showers. Some little squirrels their winter stores provide, No sluggard's they who'd on the Ant rely. . But where is Autumn in this scene of joy? I,s't her we see soft bending o'er the vine, Whose busy fingers, wreaths of flow'rs entwines. Or does she reign supreme, this Autumn f ay? Ah! There she's idly gazing in the pond, In wonder at the azure skies beyond! What sounds are these which fall upon my ear? 'Tis, sighing breezes crooning lullabies, lVhispering wherein every promise lies, Of future days of joys and sorrows dear, And trilling larks who o'er the tall trees soar, Bid sad farewell to SIIIIIIHGIJS golden hour. 18 Q 0 A . . - Q, 'F I .41 -:DE E -1-fi? :S SE? 3: ..-A -E E- :Ll 1 1 - P: :ii 4 -l - . Wiskee-wee-Wee ! Wiskee-Wah-Wah ! Holy-mackinah! Collegiate eat-em-raw! ' W-a-h! W-a-h! That's the kind of a year We've had-a rip-tailed snorter. It has indeed been a banner one from the point of numbers taking part, number of school leagues and teams, number of inter-school games, and number of inter-city games. Ofgcourse, We didn't win all our inter-school and inter-city contests, but We did very well, and after all winning isnlt everything. To play the game, Win or lose, to acquire real health and a hardy body, to secure physical ability and enjoyment, and to enjoy social good fellowship with onels opponents, these are the things that count far more than the mere Winning of a contest, and make athletics educational for the great game of life. STUDENT ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION Shortly after the opening of school the Student Athletic Association was reorganized for 1922-23 and the following were elected to act on the executive: Honorary President-Mr. G. R. Dolan. President-Mr. J. G. Eadie. Vice President-Mrs. A. D. Eadie. Secretary-Myrtle Mahon. Treasurer-Wm. McEl1noyle. General representative for girls-Miss E. D. Cathro. General representative for boys-Mr. J. E. Campbell. Fourth Year Girls' representative-Flora Mooney. Fourth Boys' Wm. McElmoyle. Third Girls' La Verne Riach. Third Boys' Glover Howe.

Harry Brown. Standing-Glover Howe, Paul Carpenter, Vifm. Mclllmoyle, J. E. Campbell. Sitting-La Verne Riach, Flora Mooney, J. G. Eadie, Mrs. H. Knight VVilson, Miss E. D. Cathro. The work of the executive consists in planning out and arranging for the various activities during the school year. It also looks after the finances, decides all knotty questions that inay coine up regarding athletics, and tries to get every boy and girl in the school taking part in sonic forin of sport for health, pleasure and physical education. This year the Association has had a nieinbership of 580 and has done over 3500 Worth of business. This is the largest nieinbership and business the Association has ever handled. A short account of the results in the various sports conducted by the Association follows.: FIELD DAY The first big athletic event in the school ycar is Field Day. Instituted away back in the early days of the Collegiate it has bccoine an indispensable event on the school calendar. Besides serving as a high class athletic ineet at which all niay display P 20 and prove their athletic ability, it also serves as a means of bringing students and teachers together and make them acquainted with each other early in the year. Year by year the number competing has been constantly growing. Last fall some 350 entered the various events and about 300 actually took part. The programme of 75 events started at ten o'clock in the morning and but for a short recess at noon, was continued up to six in the evening. The big annual feature of the meet is the inter-school one mile relay race. Challenges were sent to Campion College and the Normal School, but only Campion accepted. R.C.I. won, but Campion put up a hard, determined fight. VVe have not lost this race in a great number of years. It was a long busy day for both teachers and students, and with the finish of the last relay race everybody adjourned for home and supper, tired but happy. This year the elements were with us instead of Haginl' us and the nice, mild, sunny afternoon helped to make the meet the best yet. The results brought out the fact that we have some very good athletes in the school and that we are not going back by any means, for 13 records were broken and two tied. The form championships were won by IA with 61 points, HA for the second time with 70 points, and IH D also with 70 points. The individual champions were as follows: Boys all round-1 2 Fred Howe, 29 points. Dan Dojack, 2-1 points. 3 Glover Howe, 21 points. Girls all round-1 Minnie Fricdgut, 25 points. 2 Marion Graham, 21 points. 3 Sophie Sapirga, 12 points. Boys' Senior championship-Fred Howe. Girls Boys Girls Intermediate 'K 7 ll Boys' Junior 3 ll if Minnie Friedgut. Dan Dojack. Marion Graham. John Shank. Girls ' Constance Campbell Boys' Juvenile ' Lorne Renwick. Girls' ' Sophie Sapirga. Boys' Midget Edward McCann. 21 Athletic Prize Winners Back Row-Dan Dojack, Fred Howe, John Shank. Front Row-Edward McCann, Marion Graham, Constance Campbell, Lorne Renwick. This is a fitting place to mention that two of our athletes last spring secured places in two events at the inter-scholastic track meet run by the University at Saskatoon. Ronald Gooder- ham won the high hurdles and Fred Howe took third in the shot put and high jump. Last year We sent a team of four to compete in this meet but this year, although We have some vcry good material in the school, it is doubtful if we will send any, partly on account of a lack of funds and partly because We don't see Why the meet should be held in Saskatoon each year, Which, on account of the expense, doesn't give the southern schools a chance to enter large athletic teams. 77 .iooib-ca-ii -x. W M W 'P' 13 LM e-ff 'H' ' B ' ' RUGBY FOOTBALL Rugby football is the big fall sport and always brings out many lusty warriors looking for gore. Cn account of its strenuous- ness it is limited to the second, third and fourth year boys. The 1922 season was the best in many a school year. We started off with a school league made up of three teams with the traditional names of Tigers, Pirates, and Comets. The teams respectively were led and coached by Gerald Erskine, Bill McElmoyle, and Paul Carpenter, and the enthusiasm and competition was worthy of a University league. The Tigers proved to be the best team, only going down to one defeat, but the other two teams gave them a battle royal. The champion team was composed of the following: Gerald Erskine CCaptainj, N. Busch, D. Dojack, W. Boyle, J. Schwan, H. Graham, A. Little, J. Purvis, J. Fowler, J. Carpenter, E. Wag11e1', E. Hettle, H. Cassell and D. Allen. The R.C.I. team had a very fine season and one of the strongest line-ups in years. They played five games and only lost one and that being to their much heavier, bigger, and older opponents at the Normal school. At that we beat them once, in the first game of the season. The game of the season was with our old rivals, Moose Jaw. They brought down a team from each of their Collegiates and we were successful in defeating both. Both games were great exhibitions of the grand old sport. Moose Jaw Central hadn't a chance in the world to stop our first team, and Ross also had to acknowledge defeat at the hands of our second team, which came from behind in the second half and bucked the whole length of the field for a one point margin and victory. After the games we wound up the season in style, entertaining Moose Jaw to a supper and dance. The schedule of games was as follows: 23 October 11 R.C.I. 7 Normal 6 Won 19-R.C.I. 16 Campion 5 Won 24 R.C.I. 9 College 1 Won 27 R.C.I. 15 Normal 20 Lost.

Hows, P. Carpenter and N. McDougall. SOCCER FOOTBALL Many first year boys, for whom the game is promoted, enjoyed a fine season at soccer. Each first year form had a team and games were played two days a week up until the snow arrived. In all sixteen match games were played and the series resulted in IB being declared the winning form. The game to decide the championship was between IA and IB, and no less than three contests had to be staged to decide it as twice the game resulted 24 in a tied score, which overtime failed to break. In the third contest, however, IB won out. The following made up IB's team: J. Arnold, H. Armour, R. McEachern, F. C. Hoskins, E. H. lVIcCann, H. T. Spohn, F. T. Nordyke, J. B. Makulowich, E. V. lVIcMurdie, D. VV. Johnstone, G. Robson, J. McInnis and S. D. Shaw tCaptain.D I FIELD HOCKEY Two years ago we introduced this sport into the school for the girls and each fall since then many fair young damsels have been seen on the field battling for supremacy in skill at this game. The game is played with heavy shinny sticks and a small ball under rules similar to soccer foot ball. It is slowly spreading and we expect one of these days to do battle with Moose Jaw C.I., whom We are told is taking to the game with enthusiasm. We didn't have a school team in this sport this year, but many hot games were played by the girls as part of their physical training programme. ' With Moose Jaw taking the game up, next fall should see this sport booming around old R.C.I. TENNIS Our tennis courts are fast becoming insufficient in number to accommodate those desiring to play tennis. During the fall very seldom were the courts idle. The boys' section of the tennis club ran off two tournaments last fall. The junior singles were won by Jack Anstis, the senior by Jack McCallum and the doubles by Stanley Kelly and Wilfrid Brown. The tennis club has just been reorganized for 1923, with the following officers: President, --3 Secretary, Jack Peart, Treasurers, Jean Campbell and Jack McCallum. The membership of the tennis club this year will number about 100. We expect to have a banner season's tennis as the Board of Trustees is going to put the courts in shape for us. That they need it badly is well known to tennis devotees and the Board will earn the thanks of many. BASKETBALL With our fine gymnasium so handy it is not surprising that basketball should have a strong hold on the students. It is the great indoor winter game, and from Christmas to Easter, every after- noon from four to six, with Saturdays included, sees the old 25 gym accommodating many games and cheering spectators. Basketball is a splendid game for developing the body, the health and physical ability, and it is gratifying to see so many boys and girls so enthusiastic over it. GIRLS . Flora Mooney, who is the girls' school basketball captain, and who has a splendid athletic and all-round record, reports the following on the girls' basketball season: Basketball is the favourite sport of the majority of the girls. Each of the twenty-one forms this year had its own organized team. The first and second year girls were possibly the greatest enthusiasts and many were the happy contests between their forms. There are a number of promising players in the junior years, which ensures excellent material to represent the Collegiate in the coming years. Teams selected from the first year girls played a series of games against the junior 'teen age girls of the Y.W.C.A., and succeeded in defeating them. All the senior forms had very good teams this year with perhaps IIIA, HID and IVB the best. The clever passing and steady shooting of these teams show what training and experience can do. The Commercial school had three excellent teams this year. The friendly rivalry between the Academic and Commer- cial schools gave rise to many close and exciting games. The girls' senior and junior school basketball teams enjoyed one of the most glorious seasons in the history of the sports of our school. The two teams are selected from the best players in the middle and senior years. Both teams entered the city league composed of senior and' junior teams from the Normal School, Collegiate Nites, Y.W.C.A., and the College. In the series of games our senior team was victorious in all but two games, while thc juniors lost only one game during the year. One of the most looked-forward-to events of the season was the trip to Moose Jaw. Mrs. A. D. Eadie and Miss A. I. Dickson, the chaperone, accompanied the girls one bitterly cold Saturday morning to the Mill City. There the senior team played Central Collegiate while the junior played Ross. The games were featured by accurate shooting, excellent centre combination, and close checking. Early in the games the R.C.I. girls showed their superiority and easily won a double victory. In the evening the Moose Jaw girls entertained the Regina girls to a banquet. Three weeks later forty-five Moose Jaw girls visited Regina. The R.C.I. teams were again successful in defeating Moose Jaw 26 and we gave a banquet in honour of the visiting girls and the Saskatoon boys' hockey team. One of the most popular and spectacular games played by the girls was the contest between the lady teachers and the students. The teachers not only proved themselves excellent sports, but dandy players, as the final score was 16-16, despite the frantic efforts of the girls to win. The most outstanding feature of the basketball season was the trip to Saskatoon. The senior sextette played the girls of Nutana and Bedford Collegiates in two fast games. In both games the R.C.I. team found the strange floors hard to master in the first period, which enabled Saskatoon to secure a big lead. However, from the first tip-off of the second half in each game their lead began to slowly melt and old R.C.I. pulled out victors in both contests. In the centre the height of Florence Pettingell, combined with the speed and accurate passing of La Verne Riach, the close checking of the defences, Gladys England, Inez Pederson and Rose Johnson, and the deadly shooting of Rita Barrett. assisted by the captain, made this possible. By these victories the team now holds the Provincial Inter- Collegiate Championship for 1923. Hurrah for R.C.I.! The junior team, composed of Alex. McDougall CCaptainD, Rose Nessman and Dorothy Curry, forwards, Olive Peacey and Desta Wood, centres, and Rose Johnson and Mary Thomson, defence, also won the junior city championship. We must not forget that the glory which these teams brought to our school is due to one person, the faithful coach, Mrs. A. D. Eadie. To show their appreciation of her work the two teams presented lVIrs. Eadie with a beautiful silver cake plate. 27 SLflTlCllI1L, 'I.1l Verne Rim-lm, Mrs. A. D.

To begin with there were three school leagues, a junior, intermediate and senior. The junior was composed of first year form teams. The second year made up the intermediate, while the third and fourth year forms went together to compose the senior league. In all there were 21 organized school teams and each played at least 7 match games. The winners in the junior league were IC who just nosed out IV. The intermediate championship went to IIA, who just defeated their close rivals, IIB, in the final game. IIIA won the senior championship, after a neck and neck race with IV B. IC won G and lost 1, IIA won 6 and lost 2, IIIA won 5 and lost 2. The following made up the winning teams: IC-E. Brotman CCaptainD, E. Forbes, J. Littlehales, M. Brotman, F. Hugle, J. Ames, F. Chambers and D. Priest. IIA-J. Shank CCaptainD, IV. Martin, B.. Quigley, W. Boyle, J. Kelly, E. lVebster and G. Barber. IIIA-G. Erskine CCaptainl, R. Johnson, L. Graham, B. Connell, F. Arnold, N. Busch. - The boys' school team had a good season with a schedulegof eleven games. Of these the team won 7. Five of the gagies were with the Normal school. which had a tea'm made up of bigger, older, and more experienced players. Despite this fact our team beat them twice-fthe Normal Aurora please noticej Three of the remaining games were with Y.M.C.A. teams, all of which we won. One was a battle with the staff which the R.C.I. team won in overtime, in a game replete with incidents. The other two were a series with Moose Jaw and Saskatoon to decide the championship of the province. To Saskatoon we lost 33-21. They had a very fast team and played beautiful basketball. Our boys found the small floor and strange baskets a decided handicap and not -until the second period did they get going. We piled up a bigger score than they did in the second half and were coming fast towards the end, but it was too late to catch up and the well deserved victory was theirs. The game with Moose Jaw was another hard contest and we managed to win out in overtime by four points, the score readfng, 33-29. The final game for the honours for 1923 was then played between Saskatoon and Moose Jaw, at Moose Jaw, and won by Saskatoon. Saskatoon on their trip to Moose Jaw brought down a junior team for a game with ours. The R.C.I. juniors won, 22-17, after a close exciting contest. Our juniors were made up of ' 29 J. Campbell, J. Anstis, O. Mooney, C. Edwards, J. Shank and TV. lXfIartin. To a large extent the good showing of the school team is due to the hard practices against the second team. The second team played a few games with the second year all-stars and 1Gg1S tered a number of wins. The first team's games and results were as follows: 19 15 31 December R.C.I. . Normal Lost. January 9 R.C.I. 22 Normal Lost. 19-R.C.I. 12 Normal Lost. 27-R.C.I. 32 Jolly Rogers Won February 3 R.C.I. 34 Jolly Rogers Won 10 R.C.I. 29 Excaliburs Won 15 R..C.I. -15 Normal Won March 1 R.C.I. 19 Normal Won 7 R.C.I. 32 Staff Woii 10 R.C.I. 21 Saskatoon Lost. g 21 R.C.I. 33 Moose Jaw Won BCYS' BASKETBALL TEAM J.

NVe do not turn out as good a team in hockey as in the other sports. Lack of ice facilities for school leagues and practice and the interest of many of the students lying with outside city teams is the main reason for this. Con- sequently our team play in games is very ragged. However we had some very good games and entered a series with Saskatoon and Moose Jaw Collegiates for the Provincial honors. We got beaten rather badly in both contests but enjoyed the games and our opponents did not have things all their own way. The following made up the team: S. Acaster, H. Cassell, J. Fowler, R. Ellis, Cr. lVIcAra, S. Robinson, H. Heffernan, Arnot, O. Bocz, and N. Busch QCaptainJ. The games played were as follows: - 1 5 January 27-R.C.I. College Lost. February 20-R.C.I. 5 Campion 3 Won. February 21-R.C.I. 3 College 1 lVon. February 24-R.C.I. 1 Saskatoon 5 Lost. March 2-R.C.I. 5 Moose Jaw 9 Lost. 5 :0 f . f' 5 4? BASEBALL The baseball season is now under way and if the weather man doesn't interfere too much the diamond is going to be the scene of a lot of good ball. Two school leagues, each having five 31 - teams, is in full swing. The senior is composed of teams from IV AB, III AB, III CDF, II ABV, and II CDV, while the junior has teams from IA, IG, I FV, ICD, and IEB. The teams appear to be very evenly matched and which two will capture the coveted honors cannot be decided at the moment of writing. There appears to be some real good material this season for a school team. The pitching department, which ever since the days of Bill Falls, has been noticeably weak and the cause of many of our defeats, looks to be fairly strong this year and with material for the other positions shaping up well we expect to take both Campion and Regina Colleges into camp this spring. Our team deserves the support of every student at these games and we hope to see a good cheering section. ' COLLEGIATE R ATHLETES Twenty-three students were presented with their letter at Easter for making a school representative team, keeping up in their work, and being worthy of the honour. Seventeen others at present in school were given their letter in former years. But one or two of this latter number have not been allowed to represent the school this year on account of being down in their studies. The following have won their 'Rls either this year or in the past and are privileged to wear it on their sweaters: Acaster, Sil. Arnold, Florent Arnot, Jim Barrett, Reita Busch, Nicholas Carpenter, Stanley Carpenter, Paul Cassell, Harold Crapper, Roy Currie, Dorothy Deacon, Lorne Dojack, Dan Dutton, Owen Ellis, Ed. England, Gladys Erskine, Gerald Fowler, Joe Graham, Marion Graham, Hugh Hettle, Harry Howe, Fred Howe, Glover Johnson, Rose Johnson, Roy King, Bert lVIcAra, Graham McCallum, Jack McDougall, Alex. McElmoyle, Wm. Mooney, Flora Nessman, Rose Peaeey, Olive Pederson, Inez Pettingell, Florence Riach La Verne Thomson, Mary Veak, Roy WGbSt61', Ervin Wagne1', Ed. Wood, Desta Since the inauguration of the athletic letter three years ago, 64 boys and 38 girls have won the honor. This completes the record of the year's athletic activities. 1922-23 has indeed been a good one, but, with the help of students and teachers we expect to make 1923-24 an even better one. -J .G.E. 32 ff X , 5 ffuyld, TQ: ' V!

At the present time the Club has a membership in excess of fifty, which is subdivided into four groups, according to the age and experience of its members. A membership fee of fifty cents is charged, the money thus raised being used to provide entry fees for the Club teams in various matches, which are entered during the year, as well as to provide various fittings for the range in the school basement, where the shooting is conducted. Arrangements are made foreshooting on three nights of thc week during the winter months, for the various groups, while the team practices and matches are held on Saturday mornings. Heretofore the only rifles used have been of .22 calibre, but this year, provision has been made for gallery practice with .303 Lee- Enfield military rifle, owing to the fact that the Rifle Club enters a team in the S.P.R.A. meet, which is held during the summer months. The Club entered teams in the C.R.L. match, the Bisley match, and the Dominion Cartridge Company, the Provincial Championship, and RMC. matches. The Club made a creditable showing in all these competitions, taking second, third, fourth and lif th places in the Provincial Championship match, and coming third in the Dominion in the R.M.C. match. The latter showing is especially creditable in view of the fact that the match is shot outdoors, at ranges of two, three and five hundred yards, with the military rifle, with which the members of the team had had 33 .-, 1 I 1 .P P .Q1 7- ff 1 1 if 4 Eg, i 1 I 1 1 J, 1 g jlfb. 1-1-- afv N ,vrzujw WN - Fr' 'A IF' l -xc, 1 .1 I1-J zfiw ,S 1 .11 ' ' -41611 It f, , I .17 1' I I I I I Q ' A ' Q-xv - 1 I Q l , '1 's!'b . 1 1' il -1,1 yiw., .'

In addition to these competitions, a team was entered at the Provincial Rifle Meet, held during July. One member of this team, Cadet Garfield Mclnnis, was also chosen as a member of the Provincial Rifle Team which Went to Ottawa, Where Cadet Mclnnis was very successful. During the year several gold, silver and bronze pins, issued by the Dominion Cartridge Company for proficiency in shooting, were Won by Club members.

I was sitting in a little alcove sipping an aperitif preparatory to dining, and watching with interest the stream of bronzed, upright, distin- guished looking men, who were passing through the great room- I was new to the club at that time, you see-when a tall, rather stooped man of about fifty came and sat down in the chair next me. He ordered a drink, then, turning half around, gazed apathetically into the fire. After a moment's silence, I ventured some commonplace remark about the fine weather we were enjoying at the time. H i s reply aroused 1ny curiosity. Indeed?,' he said, I really hadn't noticed. Then, seeing the look of surprise on my face, he continued, I-I've never been the same, haven't taken any interest in life, so to speak, since that awful night, when-but I daresay you're not interested, and I am very sorry if -I seemed abrupt in answering you. Scenting a story, I hastened to assure him that, as I had no engagements, I should be delighted to hear his narrative if he would be kind enough to relate it. VVell, he commenced, to begin at the beginning, 1ny name is Winslow, Rupert Winslow, and at the time of which I am going to speak, I was agent for the East African Development Syndicate, at a little station three days' march from railhead, in the midst of the gloomiest, most desolate tract of jungle in all East Africa. There wasn't another white man in miles, and I got so lonely at times that I'd talk, sometimes for hours on end, to the girl on a calendar I'd tacked to the wall of my bedroom. You can imagine that, under such circumstances as those, any little bit of excitement that came along was hailed as a blessing sent straight from Heaven. Well, to get along with my yarn, one day my 'boyf rushed in, in a state of great excitement, to tell me of a black leopard which had been seen, so the natives said, at a village about seven miles up-country. Of course, as soon as I got wind of such a rarity as this black leopard, nothing would do but I must try to obtain the skin to send home. Business being slack, I determined to set out next day and, accordingly, we, my gun-bearer, two porters and myself, were on our way early the following morning. We did not arrive at the village till nearly nightfall-travel is slow in the jungle, you know-and so I decided to do nothing until the next day, giving orders, however, for a machan to be constructed in readiness for my stalk the following night. During the night I was awakened by a most infernal din, and on making inquiries in the morning, found that our dusky 35 H friend had had the audacity to carry off a child from an outlying hut g he must have been hard pressed by hunger to have done such a thing, for gentlemen of his ilk usually have a profound respect for man, and all his ways. In fact, I was extremely sceptical as to its having been the same beast at all, but the child's parents were firm in their assertion that they had been awakened by the child's scream, and had opened their eyes just in time to see a monstrous black shape bound across the com- pound and scale the zareba, or thorn fence, the child dangling from its jaws. You can imagine that, determined as I had been before, I was now doubly desirous of killing the beast, and I set out at dusk for my machan, where a kid had been tethered during the day as a lure for the brute, fully determined to have a shot at him if I had to sit up all night. I was accompanied by my gun- bearer and an old native named M'Bonga, who was to guide us to the machan, and then return to the villagef We wound in and out through the maze of undergrowth in perfect silence, broken only by the occasional snap of a twig under my boot, or the drip of moisture from the leaves overhead. Gradually I became immersed in thought, walking along and mechanically brushing aside the creepers which obstructed my passage. Suddenly I came to the realization that I was alone! In my abstraction I had not' kept to the narrow trail my com7 panions were following, but had wandered off down one of the innumerable game-paths which intersected it. In vain I shouted, the sound rolled back from the surrounding wall of verdure as from the bottom of a well. I became panic-stricken, as a man will under strange and terrifying conditions, and commenced wildly to force my way through the tangle of jungle growth. But already it was too dark to see the path beneath my feet 3 the thorns cut my body cruelly, the creeping plants tripped my blundering feet. Anything, I thought, was preferable to spending the night alone, in the midst of unknown dangers. At last I came upon a little clearing, formed, perhaps, by the fall of some giant of the forest. With a shout of joy I rushed forward, hoping now to get my bearings from the stars. Suddenly the earth melted under me, and I was precipitated into a pit, such as the natives dig to snare large animals. Luckily for me I did not fall squarely upon any of the stakes with which the bottom of the pit was set, but I bear to this day the mark of one jagged sliver of bamboo which slashed my arm from.wrist to elbow. He pulled back his cuff over his forearm, and disclosed a frightful scar, livid and puckered, seared deep into the flesh. For a moment I lay, stunned by the fall. Then, as my mind Cleared, I was aware of a pair of eyes, like glowing coals, which 36 . seemed to bore into my very soul. I was trapped with some wild beast! Perhaps the very one I had set out to destroy! As I realized my plight I cowered into a corner of the pit, moaning. All the answer I received was a snarl of rage and hate, and the dull thud and scrape of the great, ripping talons, as the beast struck out right and left at the raw earth of the pit's sides. I stared, fascinated, at the eyes, so evil, so cruel, so implacableg I turned my face from them, but their malignant glare seemed to pierce my very skull, turning my brain to fire. Why did he not spring, and put an end to my suffering? It would be so very easy! As I lay there, with the blood dripping from my wound, I prayed for death as I had never prayed for any thing before. I do not know whether or not I became unconscious, but the next event of which I have any remembrance, was of being lifted gently from the pit. Weeks later, when I had recovered from the fever brought on by the shock and exposure, they told me that a search party, lead by the old guide, had heard my delirious cries and had found me crouched at one end of their pit-fall, and, at the other, the body of the black leopard, impaled through the loins by one of the stakes. That is all, said Winslow rising, save that I left the country as soon as I could wind up my affairs. Since that time I have been a changed man 3 the savour has gone out of life, so saying, he turned on his heel, and entered the grill. As I sat pondering over the strange tale, my friend Wilmington came towards me. Ah! said he, I see old Winslow's been yarning with you, stuffing you too, Ifll Warrant! I caught him showing you those scars, that's just a little way of his with new members 5 whenever he sees one he button-holes him, and feeds him some yarn as to how he came by them! It's a different one every time, too! But, I put in feebly, how did he get them? Oh, answered Wilmington, an operation for gout, or some such ailment. You needn't feel cheap over it. The old boy's an artist at the job, and has taken in many a better man than you or mef' I -F. ARNOLD, III A. 37 -u a n 38 SENIOR SCCIAL H The staff of the Collegiate Institute and the members of the Board were the guests at a tea given by the senior form pupils. The main hall was transformed for the oc- casion into a sitting room with rugs and easy chairs and many plants had been artistically arranged by the students. Miss Marjorie Jones and Miss Reta McDonald received the guests. Tea was poured by Miss Marjorie Sinclair and Miss Hewitt, and the ices were cut by Miss Eunice Tyhurst and Miss Lorna Glover. Assisting in serving were: Margaret MacMurchy, Gladys Jones, Gladys Moffatt, Jean Peart, Belle McIntosh, Chrissie Reid, Ellen Stevenson, Jack McCallum, Raymond Rosenthal, Clare Thacker, Stuart Thorn, Owen Dutton, Mac Stewart, Charlotte McKechnie and Stanley Kelly. During the afternoon piano selections were given by Miss Eunice Tyhurst and Miss Chrissie Reid, solos by Miss Lily Rodgers and Miss Marjorie Jones, and a reading by Charlotte McKechnie. THE GRADUATING FORMS As They See Themselves For the students' point of view read these limericks, skits, biographies and medleys. They are their own. They review the workers and shirkersg the social stars and the back-numbers, the halt, the maimed and the blind. Remembering that this is a Students' Annual, the editors have been blind too 5 as blind as they well might. As an old country business man said at a tea table at which a chosen group of his associates had inet daily for years: Here much offence is given, but none is taken.

Fred Skelton A Skelton have we in 4 A, Who looks half asleep all the day, But we have a hunch, That he's got some punch When Neil's in the way, did you say? Graham McAra Now Graham has a knack of getting in wrong Since he never shows up before the last gong 5 At Lit. he's a shark, And helll sure get his mark, For better and better is his song. Audrey Trimble From Moose Jaw this dark-eyed girl hails, Through exams, with good honours, she sails, Do whatever she may Its done the right way, And Moose Jaw her loss surely wails. Bruce Lindsay And a Very smart boy is young Bruce, In his studies he's really quite spruce, But if drill he e'er skips, He'd best shut his' lips, For its hard to make up an excuse. ' 45 john Nazarevitch Such a hard workingeyoung man is he! Yet he's sometimes a little flirty 5 With the girls he oft talks, I Till Gwen he shocks, But we're sure a good teacher he'll be. Dorothy McNee We have here a girl who's called Dorothy, And she works all the time to beat forty, Among her chief prides, Is to prod cats' insides, But her smile, her chief asset, is sporty. Helen Pollard Oh! another ex-teacher is she, And' as proud of it as can be, Her specs she does suit, She has knowledge to boot, ' She maintains 4 A's rep. as you See. Mary Duncan Sure! a girl in a hundred is Mary! And to all rules she is quite contrary, Her homework she won't do, Yet with high marks she gets thru, So of Mary it's best to be wary. Edla Sandstrom Quite a bird on her skates is this girl, With her cute and artistical curl, She loves outdoor fun, And her homework she'll shun, At four, books in her desk does she hurl! Irene Davis A demure little maid is Irene, But the1'e's knowledge inside of her bean, In studies she crams, So sheill get through exams, She's jolly, and in Latin quite keen. 46 Stanley Carpenter Stanley Carpenter, the chemistry shark, Is never seen on the streets after dark? His physics to learn, Midnight oil will he burn, And next day go to sleep in the Pa1'k! Neil McDougal This young 1112111 is both slender and tall, If he e'er fell he'd have far to fall, When he sits at his desk, i It is quite a burlesque, For his legs almost stretch to the hall! Elma Traub Oh, Elma is another flapper here, And everybody votes she's quite a dear, But dancing is her ace, And with her charming face, The male sex always like to have her near. Margaret McIntosh Oh Margaret is a dainty little lass, Studies harder than most others in the class In spares she will not talk, On that point she's a rock, In June she most assuredly will pass. Zoe Marshall There is a sweet girl here named Zoey, Who is studious and also quite eoy, She's a sweet budding rose, And a lot she sure knows, e But she simply Wonlt look at a boy. Owen Dutton Now this dapper young fellow called Owen, In history is always quite knowin' It is known that he flirts, With a few- pretty skirts, Never mind! It's his wild oats he's sowin'. 47 Miss Hewitt Oh a charming Hjeune fille is Miss Hewitt, And for speaking-just ask her to do it. At first she did dare, Her history to share, Till John purchased his own-he'll rue it! 4 A's DESERT The dry Brown Tufts of grass crackled under the wheels as Marshal Duncan Stewart, the Taylor, drove his Hendriks Machin over the sandy stretch of desert land. He needed no Warren-Cingj to know that a Sandstrom was approaching, and hastened to make a shelter. After it had spent itself he again went on his Way, but had not gone far when he noticed an object on the road. He ran toward it and was horrified to see a Skelton. He fell down on his McNee to examine it and discovered a large Diamond in the skullj He thought this was rather Audfreyj but was all a-Trimble at the thought that it was all his Owen and resolved to tell none but his pal, the Carpenter. He put it in his pocket and drove on. As he approached a clump of trees he decided to have lunch. Having a Strong-arm he began to Hewitt some trees for wood. Soon the Sparks were fiying. He spread his McIntosh on the ground and with a box of Graham Wafers and a bottle of Olives by his side, began to Reid, but was disturbed by the Hawkfingsl flying overhead. After a short rest he proceeded on his way as he wanted to reach the Causey on the Dot. 4 B BIOGRAPHY If Mr. Hogarth were to ask the students of the R.O.I. for the number of combinations of the thirty finest students from the school, the answer, we feel sure, would be 1, namely, the students of 4 B. A proof? Since Mr. J. E. Campbell is the form teacher, it follows that the students are always in their proper seats at the ringing of the ten minute bell. With such a start, they are well prepared for study. Hence they are becoming better and better students every day. This means that they are extraordinarily good students now, for many of them were prize winners last year. Members of 4 B carried off two general proficiency medals, the Latin and French prize, the prize in mathematics, the prize for the best poem, the prize in English and the Balfour Oratorial prize, which 4 B student was the Regina representative at the Bryant Oratorial Contest in Moose Jaw. 48 In athletics, practically all the students are up to the average, while several occupy positions on school teams. Three of the 4 B girls are on the girls' senior basketball team, and one of these girls was a runner-up for the girls' junior championship at the annual field meet. From the boys, two are members of the boys' senior basketball team, and one is on the rugby team. The boys' championship in tennis was also won by a member of this form. Moreover, these students are tireless workers in many school activities. A splendid play, The Trysting Place, was staged by members of 4 B, while many officers, including the presi- dent of the General Literary and Athletic Society, the president and vice president of the Senior Literary Society, the president of the Glee Club, are all members of this form. In closing, mention must be made of the delightful Form party-for which Miss Eunice Tyhurst lent her home. May 4 B of 1923-24 have as enjoyable and profitable a year. Gladys Jones There was a young lady called Glad. Rightly named, for she never seems sad. But if you should tease her, Or don't try to please her, Oh, boy, you should see her get mad. if Eunice Tyhurst Two eyes of lovely brown, A face which never wears a frown, Sweet and neat from toe and crown A coyer maid cannot be found For Morris has looked all around And chose Eunice. Reta MCD onald Fair of face and full of grace is Beta Tho' she's not much bigger than a skeeter. In our class plays, - She stole all hearts away, In her part no maid could be sweeter. Gladys Moffet There was a young girl named Miss Moffet, Who couldn't pronounce Kerechnojshet, She was really quite cross When, herself at a loss, One replied, You don't say it, you cough it. 49 Nancy Craig Nancy Craig we'll all agree, Is the history star of senior B. A With interest keen in work and play, She'll make her way in this world some d Wm. McE1moy1e Who is president of the Senior Lit.'? And at basketball makes such a hit?

Jack McCallum There was a young student called Jack Who in Tennis the ball sure can whack, Gets up at 5.10 Back to bed again, At Physics his knowledge's not slack. Mildred Nobles Who is the best sport in our form, An all round girl, with many a charm? Why 'tis our Mildred shy and sweet, Big-hearted, though she's tre's petite. 50 EL Murray Matheson We know a nice boy called Murray Who in Literature's n'er in a flurry, His hair doesn't curl And he doesn't like girls So What's to become of poor Murray. Dave Naimark In 4 B its always the fate Of Dave Naimark to come very late, But he comes with a smile That's intended to rile The soul of our Mr. Campbell. Thelma Brady Thelma is a girl who loves Biology And every other kind of 'ology, She cheerfully carves cats, Grasshoppers and rats, And cherishes a broad philosophy. Ralph Brownbridge R There was a young pool shark named Ralph, Whose brain power just ranks with King Alf. Quite often he's late By the cruel act of fate, Gur Extinguished young student named Ralph james jenkins 4 B has a prominent scholar, Jim Jenkins by name, he's a corke1'. His hair is jet black, At French he's a crack, At Rugby games he surely can holler. Ellen Stevenson We all know the dear maid called Ginger, Mr. Campbell would oft like to singe her, When Ellen comes late We allhave to Wait Until he extinguishes Ginger. 51 Morris Givins Morris is a reg'lar fellow In fact a second Valentio, For on the stage he set a pace, As leading man in The Trysting Place. Miss Cairns lVe have a teacher from Connaught Who only does the things she ought, In subjects of study She leads everbody This teacher we have from Connaught. ODE TO MILDRED AND ISABELLE Both are broad and both are fair, Both have bobbed their yellow hair. Both wear glasses, Both are lasses. Sweet and charming, Noted for their mass of learning. Where one goes the other follows, Up the hills and dow-n the hollows. One is short and one is tall- Both are dears, and that is all. -V C a n Stanley Kelly There was a young chemist named Stanley, Who in droppers is surely a dandy, But one day, sad to say His sight quickly gave way And in goggles hereafter came Stanley. Beatrice Harvey Bee Harvey came here from BC. And thought that to pass Trig. was easy, She was so indiscreet She got a front seat, New her thoughts are no longer so breezy. To Flora Mooney . Of Winsome Flora now sing we praises, A sweeter lass was not found in ages, Girl's work is her choice of a vocation for life But we hope she will make some poor man a wife 52 Lorna Glover That jolly young 1naiden named Lorna, Laughs all her lovers to scorn uh! Even the slow uns Emit low groans And wish they had never been born ah! Jean Peart When Jean lets loose one of her smiles, We stop our ears and run for miles. Percy, the Poet, has brought her fame, And many offers to change her name But she stays single just the same. A Clare Thacker There was a young fella named Clare, Who thought he would like curly hair. A fair lady said nay So you'll find him to-day VVithout one lonely eurl there. -Stuart Thom Stuart Douglas is a coy young youth Who always, always, speaks the truth. If you donlt think heis awful wise Just gaze into his luminous eyes. KK Eric Patterson Who is it always smiles at you, Who cheers you up when you're feeling blue, And makes you happy through and through- It's Eric. Wilfred Walker There was a slim young thing called WalkG1', Who was not an incessant talker, Loved pies, cakes and cats Pretty girls under hats, That silly young dandy called Walker. Isabelle Thompson Isabelle wields a prolific pen, With skill beyond our common ken, She is jolly and pretty, Clever and witty, But has little time for men. 53 ef f 'f0f4'.-. .. .. if W Q-,IV ,,.1... . . -fu. 4 .mf . fs fx- - bugfg-': ' f .v- ' 4 ' .1 gf , ww!

CRAIG, 4135 One by one the hours crept on As he sat till break of dawn:- CWe'd written exams three weeks befoiej I'll give her ninety-nine-no more. There, I'vc finished Senior B, And the lowest mark was eighty-tln ee Well, 1,111 sleepy, guess I'll quit, Let the rest of the boneheads wait. He gave a yawn, put out the light- Then-oh, horrors! What a sight! Two black figures stood before him Seized him silently and bore him In a box of ebony, Carved in sounds of harmony: Up the ladder Gradatim Into regions strange and dim, Crossed a dreary wilderness, 'Twas the 'fVale of the Brainlessf' Now before him Hows a stream- Fearful, awful, doth it seem: 'Tis the stream of Education, But a bridge is built of Latin- Three words Labor omnia vincitf His dark escorts safely cross it, Leave him on the other shore, There to wonder more and more. A broad highway stretches far Paved with books deep set in tar 3 Lofty 'trees sedately rise, On either hand up to the skies: Q On each leaf a word is written- Each tree constitutes a poem. Now he leaps out of his box- Brand new collar, shirt and socks, Figure of a Greek athlete, Wings and halo, all complete. Then the sees a motley throng 57 Hailing him with shout and song, Praise him! Hail him! King of Learning Surely he will need no burning! Let us lead him toute de suite To his mansion on Main Street. Shakespeare, Milton, kneel before him, Vachel Lindsay hovers o'er him. Milton speaks, To thee, O King, We come on light fantastic wing, Let us lead thee to thy home, There to rest thy weary dome. Then they quickly draw a curtain, And he hears in tones uncertain, Chaucer speaks: 'Tis thine-thine own, Built of marble, wood and bone, All materials were donated By your pupils who, ill-fated, Gave their heads to prove to you. Mr. B? with quick emotion, Views the vast and lofty mansion, Tell them -but he chokes with sobs, Thought them all a bunch of snobs. I do hereby undertake To correct my sad' mistake. Dante takes him by the hand, Leads him up the stairway grand. Victor Hugo has the key- ' This I now present to thee. 'Tis a key to Vergil, and, Written by that poet's hand.

Dinner oler they loud proclaim- Speak, oh speak, thou man of fame! Tell us all the world doth know Of knowledge, years do come and go: 58 Every year adds on its store- But thou hast it all, and more. Mr. B-- sedately rises, But there are in store surprises Suddenly his hat, too tight, Splits its sides to left and rightg Now with learned eloquent tongue His noble speech is just begun, When they see him with pain turn yellow Tearing from his head the halo, And his friends in horror see That his head must bandaged be, If they wish to save his life Till he meets his loving wife. Larger ever his head increases, Steadily, and never ceases. Hands are now in anguish wrung, For they hear an awful BANG Darkness follows quick, Mr. Bi- falls like a brickg Hits his head against a chair, Soon forgets he mustn't swear, Clambers up and rubs his head- Must have dreamed that I was dead, Awful sleepy-had a fall.

Dear Readers,-You have now come to the most important part of the Annual. The Senior Lit. of 1922-23 has been the nucleus of all activities in the R.C.I., owing to the efforts of our most efficient executive. The honoured members of this select committee are: William McElmoyle, president, who conducts all meetings in a brilliant manner. Owing to Bill's strenuous efforts the Senior Lit. has been a wonderful success. Reta McDonald, vice president, who has never been called upon to take the chair, but has been meekly waiting for the opportunity. Glover Howe, secretary treasurer, who, on account of his honesty has been allowed full control of all the financial matters of the Senior Lit. CBank account of Senior Lit.-25 centsj. Form Representatives 4A-Owen Dutton, live wire of R.C.I. 4B-Stuart Thom, our rising politician. 3A-George Mahoney, a budding young Saxaphonist. so 3B-Archie.Little, who is noted for his orations. 3C-Russel Dupuis, a noted artist and violinist, who, strange to say, never lets his hair grow long. 3D-Edwin Gardiner, well known baritone soloist. Last but Foremost- Mr. Austin Bot-hwell-who belongs to Regina's Boosters' Club. He can accustom himself to most any life, as he took the part of the hidden villain in a seaside romance. The Senior Lit. holds its meetings in the auditorium of the R.C.I. once a month at 3.15. There has been three successful meetings this year, at each meeting a playihas been presented by the students of either the senior or middle school. The first. play was a great success. It kept the audience in great suspense and in the highest ecstasies of glee. The leading parts were taken by Jean Peart, R.eta McDonald, Marjorie Jones, VV. McElmoyle, R. Rosenthal, M. Givins and Mr. Bothwell. The play was under the supervision of Miss Leech and Mr. Bothwell. The next- play Was a comic play taken from the book Seven- teen,', put on by the students of 4B. This play was very realistic as all of those who have read 'tSeventeen will know. The last Senior Lit. meeting was a wonderful success, having five numbers on the programme. The first number was a play called Sham by the following dramatists: Miss Dorothy Finley, Russel Vlfatson, Bert King and John Campbell. The second number was a balloon dance by Mary Thompson and Isobel Mutch. CThe success of the dance was partly owing to the exclusively harmonious syncopations on the piano by Miss Gladys Englandj Gwing to the musical ability of the R.C.I. students the musical numbers were the most outstanding. Of these were Miss Dorothy Hughes, who rendered The Little Red School House and Sleepy Town, Mr. WL Brown, a violinist, and The Sterling Five, consisting of A. Swanston, L. lyluirhead, R. Dupuis, G. Mahoney, H. Egg. We all sincerely hope that the next Senior Lits. to come will be equally as successful as ours. CSecretary-Glover Howej.

COMMERCIAL ANNEX HISTORY OF THE COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT Three short years ago, the Commercial Department, com- prised only 27 students and one teacher, occupying only one room. Today the total enrolment is 17-5 students and 4 teachers, occupying 5 rooms. It is expected that next fall will see an enrolment of over 200, which will necessitate additions to the staff and in all probability a new building will be required. Three years ago only one course was offered, today a student has a choice of four, leading to bookkeeping, accountancy, stenography and secretarial work. Our graduates do not experience difficulty in getting positions as Regina business men are realizing more and more each year the efficiency of our courses, and, as a consequence, of our students. No less than 250 students have been placed in positions during the three years at an average salary of approximately 56965.00 per month. - In 1922, the Commercial Department outgrew its quarters in the main building and was transferred to the Collegiate Annex in February of that year. The Annex is now full to overflowing and the housing of the Commercial Department next year is causing the Board much concern. Our present quarters are not in any way suitable for school purposes, which places upon both G3 X X, J' I gwllf eu, v a I ' -841.

In spite of this, 85 students sat for the final examinations last June, and passed 100 per cent. strong. This year over 100 students are sitting for the finals and we anticipate a similar result to that of last year. g The spirit of Commercial Department has always been good, but perhaps has- never been more in evidence than this year 3 every function has been well supported, financially and in service. The graduating class this year is form 4E, and We take this opportunity to wish them well in their new sphere. We hope they will not forget the time they spent in the R.C.I. and that we shall see them present at many of our functions to be held in the future. LITERARY SOCIETY NOTES The social side of life of our department was fully taken care of during the year by the officers and executive of the Literary Society. Once a month meetings were held in the auditorium, where entertainments of various kinds, amateur theatricals a.nd debating was indulged in. The outstanding event, however, was the St. Valentine party given by all forms, to which were invited the students and their parents- and friends. Approximately 500 were present and all seemed to thoroughly enjoy the evening. The programme included musical numbers, dances, playlets, recitations, etc., and altogether the evening was worthy of the Commercial Department. ADDITION TO THE STAFF The growth of the Commercial Department demanded an increase of staff during the year and Mr. J. Mitchell was appointed. His arduous task is to try to instill into our minds the beloved CAmen!D subjects, history, geography, spelling and bookkeeping. In addition to this he gives us music lessons twice a week, and we do not know who suffers most-we, or the other students in the building.

And it is the first time the Commercial Department has entered a candidate. It is fitting, too, that the winner should be Zelma Teed of Form 4E, for no Commercial student has taken a greater interest in school activities, or has won more honors than she. For two years running she was awarded the General Proficiency Medal and in each year the race was a keen one. Her subject in the Oratorical Contest was Newspapers and the facts she so eloquently presented under three headings: History, Influence, and Functions, showed careful preparation and much time and effort in gathering facts. The Judges said they had no difficulty in picking the winner. Zelma has been the President of our Commercial Literary Society for the past year and the report on that department elsewhere illustrates her ability as a leader. The Chairman of the Board in a recent speech said: VVe shall hear from Zelma in the years to come in the public life of this city. Zelma leaves us this year to take her place in the business world, and we wish her well-her qualifica- tions ensure her success. 66 Muriel Still, Ann Kreutzer, Zelma Teed, Lillian Thompson i WINNERS OF PROFICIENCY MEDALS-1921-22 It has been the practice of the department to award a General Proficiency Medal to the outstanding student in each form. In awarding the medals consideration is given to the year's work, activities in all departments of the Collegiate, attitude to work, attendance, punctuality and in fact all that goes to make an all- round student. First Form-Lilliam Thompson. Second Form-Zelma Teed. Third Form-Hazel Blanchard. Special Form-Ann Kreutzer. It might be added that this is the second year in which Zelma Teed has won the medal. Muriel Still was awarded by the judges a special prize-a gold Eversharp pencil-as her percentage was a few decimal points below the winner of the Special Form Medal. ' ACCOUNTANCY COURSE During the past three years the Commercial Departlnent has sent up to thc University of Saskatchewan to take the C. A. Primary Examination 35 students all of whom passed except one. This is a percentage of 97. This department of the work is growing 67 from year to year and we hope to maintain the present standard of efficiency. Our Accountancy Course in the Night Class is also proving very popular and a number of students are taking the Book- keeper's Examination held by the University. Students taking this course are required to enroll for three years. The following students are those sitting for the C. A. Primary Examination this year: Janet Shea Marguerite Fraser Zelma Teed Clara Peterson Beth Ferguson Mary Merle Jean McRobb William Wolfe Evelyn Moore Ellis Bowes . Clifford Aney By the time this annual is published we shall no doubt see their names published-in the names of those successful. SHORTHAND DEPARTMENT T The adoption of the Gregg System of Shorthand has been justified in the splendid results obtained during the past three years. Under the directions 'of Mr. Hodgkins, this department has made many records. Just as we go to press information has come to hand that 81 students have been awarded certificates by the Board of Examiners of Gregg Shorthand in New York. The standard set for these certificates is very high, and they are by no means easily won. Two students were awarded also gold rings by the Board of Examiners on account of the very high degree of excellence of their work. It is significant that a very small percentage of our graduates who are placed in positions fail to hold them. A number of students are showing particular aptitude for high speed and it is hoped that in the years to come the Collegiate will hold the Provincial record for Shorthand as it now does in Typewriting. We might add that the winners of the gold rings were Minnie Friedgut, Form 2 E, and Edna Spencer, Form 3 E. A list of certificate winners is given elsewhere. GS ANN KREUTZER TYPING DEPARTMENT E ' One of the striking developments in the Commercial work has been that of the Typewriting Department. As shown else- where a large percentage of the students in both day and nigh-t classes have won silver and bronze medals as well as certificates for speed and accuracy. It is a tribute to this department that the Saskatchewan High School Championship is held by the Regina Collegiate Instituteg and it would appear that this record will take a lot of beating. Typewriting has been stimulated by the donation of two large silver cups, one known as the Underwood Cup presented by the United Typewriter Company, and the other known as the Demaray Cup presented by the local manager of the company. The first is open for graduates of the Collegiate and the other one is open to students in attendance. WINNERS OF SILVER CUPS IN TYPEWRITIN G The following students hold the Chainpionship cups for the year 1923-24: Demarary Cup: Ann Kreutzer, Form 2155 speed 85.

The mother is AMBITION. The oldest son is COMMON SENSE. Some of the other boys a re PERSEVERANCE, HONESTY, THOROUGHNESS, FORESIGHT, ENTHUSIASM, and CO-OPERATION. The oldest daughter is CHARACTER. Some of her sisters are CHEERFULNESS, LOYALTY, COURTESY, CARE, ECONOMY, SINCERITY, and HARMONY. The baby is OPPORTUNITY. Get acquainted with the old man and you will get along pretty Well With all the rest of the family. -Selected. SUCCESS If you want a thing bad enough To go out and fight for it, W'ork day and night for it, Give up your time and your peace and your sleep for it, If only desire of it Makes you quite mad enough Never to tire of it, Makes you hold all other things tawdry and cheap for itg If life seems all empty and useless Without it, And all that you scheme and you dream is about itg If gladly you'll sweat for it, Fret for it, Plan for it, 71 Lose all your terror of God or of man for it, With all your capacity, Strength and sagacity, Faith, hope and coniidence, stern pertinacityg If neither cold poverty, famished and gaunt, Nor sickness nor pain, Of body or brain, Can turn you away from the thing that you want, If dogged and grim you besiege and beset it, YOU 'LL CET IT! -BERTON BRALEY. SPORTS AND ATHLETICS Some one has wisely said that a healthy body and a healthy brain go together. The records made by the Commercial Depart- ment would indicate that most of the students have healthy brains and their activity in sports and athletics show that they are well up to the mark in this department. In baseball, football and basketball, and in the annual sports, the Commercial Depart- ment have been near the top. Minnie Friedgut, of form 2 E, is the outstanding athlete of the Commercial Department. It was she who won the girls' championship medal in her class in the annual sports of 1922. Minnie is as good at shorthand as she is at sports, and that is saying a lot. GALLOWAY, CLEARY 81. CO.

Always in demand for school functions, its members still found time this year to prepare programmes given With the Elgar Club in various churches in the city, besides assisting the cluh in the operetta f'Patricia. They were the Winners in the Class C orchestral competition at the 1922 Provin- cial F estival, and the coveted shield has adorned our main hall during the past year. The orchestra also had the added dis- tinction of having two festival medallists in the solo violin class among its numbers-Dave Naiinark and VVilfred Brown. The officers for the past year were: President-Dave Naimark. Secretary-Ivan Thacker. Conductor-Miss Riddell. ffffifll.- .

HARMONYT GLEE CLUB , Every VVednesday afternoon, for an infinitely long three- quarters of an hour for so it appears to the eager CPD listenersl, sweet strains of music issue forth from the Assembly Hall. These profuse outbursts of song are the efforts of that sweetly smiling bevy of femininitycwho boast the proud and extremely dignified title of the Elgar Glee Club. The total enrollment of this organization is about fifty members, but few and far between are the days when all of the smiling faces are seen in the hall. But perhaps it is all for the best, as there are fewer discords when less are present. But to borrow one of our learned professor's favourite quotations, 4' Why crept the discord in but that harmony should be prizedf' Miss R. B. Riddell is our worthy long-suffering eonductress and her task is by no means easy. She devotes half Cor to be specifically explicit, 37-75thsD of her time trying to draw forth profuse strains of too much premeditated art from rather un- promising, but at times, budding young musicians. i i R Recently the Glee Club decided to exhibit its talent by rendering a light operetta, entitled Patricia The aforesaid operetta was rendered carefully and cleverly, displaying a great deal of talent along musi callines iso said the Leader.D The plot was quite amusing, and the music Cexeept for an occasional discordj, was quite propitious to the ear. The cast was as follows: Reggie Montgomery, round whom the plot centres more or less-Olive Peacey. - Mrs. Montgomery, the dignified but 'extremely snobbish, mother of Reggie-Eunice Tyhurst. Patricia, our heroine-buxum, blythe and debonair, who turns out to be merely a cook-Freda Hardy. Dick-who particularly impresses the audience as being a forlorn, solemn individual, whose melancholy soliloquies kept the audience in tears and sighs-May Polson. Jenny-who never, no never, fell in love-hlarion Graham Cour gifted secretaryb. 74 Cy Simpkins-a comical old farmer-Julia Reekie. Nancy-who thinks she'd like to be a farmers wife-Marjorie Melling. Fanny-who is in love with Bobby-Lorine McLaughlin. Bobbie Neal-who returns her affection-Marguerite Swan- ston. Owen Miles-who in the end marries Patricia-Jean Dows- well. Gypsies-who add to the charm of the play-Jean Wheatley,Margaret McNamara, Ruth Jolly and Kathleen Dupont. And last, but by no means least, Percy, the poet, the goat -Jean Peart. The stage was prettily decorated. The play was held at the Normal School on March 2nd and 3rd, and about 515120 were added to our funds, which up to this had been a negative quantity. This is the third year that the Glee Club has been in existence. Last year an operetta, The Gypsy Rover, was held and also a delightful Japanese tea. Both this year and last the Glee Club had the unique honour of singing at 14th Avenue Church, and this year at several of the larger churches. Last year, when the Festival was held at Regina, the Glee Club entered. It competed against the Patricia Club of Saska- toon, but sad to say and against the better judgment of the adjudicators, the decision was in favour of our fair competitors. In conclusion, I hope that I have convinced the reader of the importance and necessity of the Glee Club to the musical sphere of the R.C.I. 'JEAN PEART.

EDITORIAL As we hate to break away from established custom, we feel that our department should follow its predecessors in this little matter of an editorial. Editorials are hard to write, we are not geniuses, but we should like to express our appreciation of the manner in which our appeal for contributions has been answered. I We sincerely hope that our efforts to carry on the traditions of The Lyrew will meet with the approval of both staff and students, and that no one will have cause to feel resentment at the manner in which we have used his or her name in our columns. The personal element must, of necessity, enter largely into publi- cations of this type, and consequently, one of the chief difficulties confronting the persons responsible for its general tone is that of confining its Witticisms and articles to a plane which can offer no cause for complaint. In this we feel that we have been suc- cessful, and feel no hesitation in presenting to you the LYRE for 1923. May we also express our appreciation of Mr. Campbell's helpful advice, and constructive criticism, in the always delicate, and seldom-appreciated capacity of censor and critic-in-chief to our departmentg THE EDITORS.

They planned to turn burglars and steal the money which the farmer had hid in one of his rooms. They waited until midnight and then started to do the job. f I 3 , In order to get the money they had to pass the farmer's bed- room. Mike said I'll go first and if it's all right you can follow and do just the same as I do. Mike started to pass the room. Just as he got opposite the door, the floor creaked. This woke the farmer and he called out, Who's there. 5 Mike answered with a f'Meaow. E Q The farmers wife, being awake, said: Oh John, it's the cat, and all was quiet.
