4A's Officers President: Ed. Britten Vice-President: Phyllis Mantle Executive: Marg. Brown Fred Stewart At first we intended to start the year off right with a swell big Wleanie Roast at Boggy Creek, but Mr. Scrimgeour kindly vetoed all plans, and so, after wasting half the winter arguing about what kind of a party it would be, someone stumbled upon the bright suggestion of a theatre party. Such an original idea, QI think every form party we ever had has been a theatre party.D So that intellectual group of students which make up the 4A form, trailed down to the Capitol under the watchful eye of Miss MacMillan, and saw the show: Six Hours to Live with Xllarner Baxter, I mean, he was leading man. After, we went to Ur. and Mrs. I,ederman's to dance, eat and be merry, mostly eat, but the dancing was wonderful, and, personally, I think Allan and Ken are as good as I.ee Simms and Rudy Vallee, respectively, well, nearly anyway. Our next form party wasn't held until close to Easter but this time we had a party entirely different-we went to a picture show-this time the Met where james Cagney was starring in 'fHarcl to Handle. Then we trekked Cand when I say trekked I mean trekked, about two milesj over to Marg. Brown's. Again Ken and Allan, with the help of the radio, kept us dancing all evening and Marge McInnis and VVillie VVilson won the Marathon, VVillie or Asher can tell you eggsactly what I means-they paid for the eggs but the mud was free. However all year wasn't taken up with form parties as can be seen by our form representations in the various teams, clubs, and enterprises. Besides having its fair share of students who keep all the teachers in the grandest humour, 4A can boast a high athletic standing. On the school teams the girls were just pansies but the boys certainly kept up our good CPD standing. On the Senior Rugby team last year were: Tom Smith, Harvey McNeil and Fred Stewart, while Sandy MacPherson, joe de Stein and Asher Hayworth played with the juniors, not forgetting Heck jones, an excellent player who is a member of the Pats' Rugby Team. In basketball those who reached the senior team were: H. Jones and M. Finklestein and on the junior team were, Ivan King and Asher Hayworth. On the form basketball team were: jones, Finklestein, Hayworth, King, Stewart, MacPherson, VVilson, Treen, Lederman, Smith and Edgar. The 4A hockey team played several games at the Arena, but VVillie VVilson received so many marks on his manly features that they offset any good results of the games. 18

As the time now' comes to launch your lives upon a sterner sea I cannot help wondering what your years at Central Collegiate mean to you and what they will mean to the world through you in the years ahead. To many of you your twelve years in Public and Vol- legiate school have come to you as a matter of course, so that you hardly realize that it is a privilege for which past genera- tions have sacrihced endlessly. Parents have scorned de- lights and lived laborious days in order that their children may have that which they themselves may have had in small measure. And particularly, in these hard days many sacri- fices are being made by parents and teachers that the privi- lege of education may still be yours. But do not for a moment think that these years in school have completed your education. No school is a lin- ishing school. The soil has been ploughed, a little good seed has been sown but much ground still lies fallow' waiting for more seed, and that which is already planted needs fostering and weeding, and the rain and sunshine of experience before it can bring forth a rich harvest. I hope that you will continue to exercise faithfully your faculty of critical judgment, realizing that not until the price- less heritage of the past brings you into intelligent relation- ship with the world about you can you value correctly what is worth while in the passing show of today. It may be that some of you cannot enter on your careers at OHC6. Still do not allow' your aspirations for the future to remain mere yearnings. Keep your purpose ever before you and in the interval fulfil graciously the task which lies nearest. Be not impatient, and then O Young Mariners Down to the haven, Call your companions, Launch your vessel And crowd your canvas And, ere it vanishes Over the margin, After it, follow' it, Follow the Gleamf'-V.K.lXI. 17

In sports outside of school, Norman Edgar is our pride and joy. He, along with Bill Lederman nobly supported us in the recent swimming meet at Moose Jaw. In the clubs the girls and boys were both well represented but the most noticeable were our Dramatic Club members. Betty Arnot was elected president of the club for the whole school and Sandy MacPherson was business manager. 4A took a keen interest in the producing of plays just as last year when the majority of us studied Cor sleptj within the walls of SA. This year, however, our eliorts met with greater success. One of our plays NVurzel-Flummery dir- ected by Betty Arnot not only reached the finals but also carried away the coveted cup which is presented by Miss MacMillan each year, winning high praise by the adjudica- tors. Then, not to be outdone in any way, 4A has two repre- sentatives on the Annual stahf, both ol them holding high positions. Professor Krueschen Schultz will answer all questions pertaining to school work. P.K.S.: VVhat key is the funeral march written in for the Chinese hornpipe. K.H. Ans.: Never heard of it, Kay, but I think it should be written in the skeleton key. P.K.S.: I want a job I can stick to what do you suggest? C.D. Ans.: Try being a syrup salesman, Campbell, old sock. P.K.S.: VVhat is a good substitute for homework? J. MCG. Ans.: Suicide is the best, Jean. P.K.S.: VVhy do teachers ask such dumb questions on exam papers? A.E. Ans.: For the same reason that this column is run, Aubrey. P.K.S.: VVhere did Mr. Campbell get his huge voice? A.M. Ans.: VVell, Ada, in Ontario he used to teach two country schools six miles apart at the same time, before the days of telephones. P.K.S.: VVhat is good for bow legs? E. Treen. Ans.: Get a violin, Earl. P.K.S.: I have a bad habit of lying which I can not get over, what should I do? N.T. Ans.: Wind up your alarm clock, Norma, dearie. P.K.S.: Vtfhy should I study French? M.M. Ans.: Well, Marg., Miss Leech and I were under the impression that you didn't,---however. P.K.S.: What good book can I read on baseball? N.M. Ans.: Have you read Homer, Nick? 19
