MR. WILLIAMS: A renowned athlete in our midst, tennis and badminton at present among his specialities. It takes the small teachers to make the students Step. MISS LEECH: Speaks French as the French shak it for the very good reason that she studied it among them. She wades undaunted through rule after rule, lamenting our complete ignorance of the elementary principles of the stuff, but nevertheless, she gets most of us through. MR. ALLAN: VVho teaches first and second years geo- graphy has at last obtained his heart's desire, a geography room all to himself. Some Say he holds the school record for keeping people in, but looking back two years, I guess it did us good. He has spread his photographic talent freely among the members of his Camera Club. MR. FRED HOWARD who replaced Miss Massey during the year is another popular addition to our faculty. He hails from Moose Jaw, and although his term with us has been short he has served as judge in the debate of the Cur- rent History Club night program as well as in other activities. MISS MASSEY: Had to leave us suddenly during the year. She had that elusive knack of making students work whether they liked it or not and even they admitted it. MR. MCKENZIE: The hard-working Scotchman in the manual training room. The only person he ever gave up completely was another renowned gentleman of highland descent by the name of Forbes. How he handles the howling after-four mobs near june is a mystery to us, but he does it. MISS WHEATLEY: A singer of repute who is Queen of the cuisine Qmongrel French for kitchenj and who teaches Central's younger co-eds to reach the pockets of their fathers through their stom.achs. MR. FYFE: They say Scotchmen are slow at seeing through jokes, but not so with Mr. Fyfe, especially when they are directed at him. VVe hope for quite a lot of help Cmuch neededj from his natty little notes on Modern Poetry. MISS DEATH: She shares all she knows in literature, art, music, or what have you. She is the inspiration of that splendid and successful organization, the Elgar Club. VVe would imagine that Kate Smith is not among her favorites. MR. CHAPMAN: The other, worthy champion. 0' to know Horace's Odes as he does, he rattles them off with- out the book. Greek also comes among his accomplishments. MR. GRIFFIN: Another science man worthy of his Salt, who takes great care with his classes. His chief recreation is arguing with M14 Clark in the Lab. and multiplying on the blackboard. MRS. VVALKER: Who is substituting for Mr. Haward seems to have an unfailing sense of humor. It is said that only three of her algebra students failed in all the years she taught, so here's hoping. 11

Miss MACMILLAN: Rules supreme amid the posters in 4A. She knows the literary VVho's VVho from A to Z, registers amazement at our colossal ignorance, but generally steers us straight when it comes to the June ordeal. MR. MCEACHERN: The worthy champion of that courageous minority, the Latin students. Believes in comfort while skipping lightly o'er the pages of Caesar, Cicero, or what have you. MR. DoXsEE: What a detective he would make. He knows what everybody did and when for the past umpteen thousand years. Genial and popular, nature made him tall for basketball teams and so that he could look down on people without being snooty. MR. HUNT: The genial gentleman of the Biology Lab. He is the man who knows all the ins and outs of fishes and such, mostly the ins. Mr. Hunt is co-author of an excellent Agriculture, just off the press. MR. PERKINS: Seems to be cut out for a rugby player. Anyway, don't argue. He rules the roost in 4F and dis- penses the rudiments of mathematics and science about Central's classrooms. MR. CLARK: Saskatchewan and Toronto U's. produced the worthy head of our Physics Department. He is in his element among calories, ergs, dynamos, galvanometers and such. Occasionally when See Me appears in a lab. book, someone trembles in the encasements of his pedal extremities. Usually he has reason to. MR. OLIVER! The Boss o' the Ranch around SB. Saint Peter: No tests in Heaven! Mr. Oliver: Not even if I cut them down to three a week? Saint Peter: Nope, try downstairs, lots of students there. just the same we have learned some geometry this year in spite of writer's cramp over these tests. Miss MACPSARLANEZ Graduate of Edmonton. Shares with Messrs. Doxsee and Lingard the honor of history. Miss MacFarlane also specializes in French. MR. MACMURCHY: A born politician. He can talk by the period on anything you like, virtues of lab. assistants, animals, etc. Writes the cleverest exam papers and tests and enjoys thoroughly our agony over them. His pet' aver- sion is people who can't even copy exercises smartly enough to fool him. MR. GREENOUGH: Vlhatever Mr. Greenough does, he does well. He coached junior B basketball team right to the top this year, and when he teaches you geometry, you stay taught. 10

MR. HAWARD: Central's mathematical wizard. Mr. Haward was forced to leave us during the winter due to illness and for the first time it dawned on some people that we had had a real teacher. May he return in full health next September to pull many more students through exams. MR. LINGARD: Small in stature but immense in knowl- edge. History holds no secrets from him Cwish we could say the same.D Incidently he is the light and life ofthe Current History Club which has made its mark this year. MR. COOPER: Another athlete in our midst who can still show the boys a few tricks, basketball or rugby. He always gets the best out of people-you ask how: then you don't know Mr. Cooper. MISS BOYD! ,Another who speaks French as the French speak it for the same reason as does Miss Leech. She is a figure skater of no mean ability and is also renowned this year for producing a French play, a courageous attempt crowned with the success it deserved. MR. ROBERTSON! A popular newcomer this year who doesn't have to go back so far to his own school days. He also has contributed quite a heave to the push that sent this Annual over, and has generally made his mark in school activities as well as in teaching. HIAWATHA POEM No. 5288 By de shores of lake Wuscenna, Close, but not so wery near, Stends a wigwum, beeg wun, square wun, Where lil injuns cum mit fear. Heap chief Scrimgeour take no nonsence, Sub-chief Campbell, him take less. Let out war hoop, put de boots to, Den de papoose, him wun mess. Let me tell you what is war cry, VVhat de leedle sub chief say, Hez no meaning, no coneckshun: COS OF 90 MINUS A. Vllhen he whoops dis, no one enswers. Couldn't, can't and never can. Den he make a louder war hoop, Too loud for a leedle man. Also him make lot of wisekreks, Funny stories nown agen, Even if him let out War hoop, Him be wun of our best men. Denk youse for your kind of atten- shun, ladies end jenemun end pipple. L. TAYLOR, 4D. 12
