could learn anything from Latin to higher mathematics and in doing so carry off the honors and prizes. While they brought distinction to themselves and their school we think of them and others who heard the bugle call away back in 1914 and marched off far away from their homes and loved ones and did their bit for all they held dear. Some of them returned but many never came back. The tablet in the main hall was erected by the pupils and friends of the school in loving memory of these fine fellows than whom Central has turned out none finer or better. In conclusion, may I say, we have every confidence in the students of today. They are made of the same stuff as their predecessors, and twenty-five years hence may the historian of that time review us with satisfaction and be able to say that we too played our part in our day and generation truly and well, adding something worth while to the glory of our alma mater and to the well being of students of our time.

the East and South of the gymnasium, while at the same time other secondary school buildings have sprung up in other parts of the city. The growth in school population has been most remarkable. There was a time when only the clever girls and boys who passed grade eight continued their education into High School, but now practically all grade eight students find their way into one of our secondary schools. By 1910, the numbers had increased from the 130 of 1,907-08 to 210. By 1913 the ten class rooms of the new school were overflowing. In 1924 Scott Collegiate first opened its doors. Its class rooms were soon crowded and a platoon system set working to relieve the congestion. In 1927 came the second addition to Central, while Balfour Technical School which opened in 1930 was filled almost immediately. The modest one hundred and thirty of early days had by 1934 become an army of two thousand five hundred. The courses offered had become much more numerous and varied, and the opportunities much greater for a fuller and more rounded education. But it takes more than bricks, desks and blackboards to make a school, and true success can not be measured by numbers and increases. The citizens have always taken a live interest in our school and they have done much for education in Regina not only by giving us fine schools and supporting them, but also by backing up our every effort in other directions. We hope that as students pass through from grade to grade they may catch some of that indefinable spirit which we all help to create and which is being built into the school by all her students past and present. Space permits only a bare mention of former principals. The old school records the names of D. S. McCannell, W. J. Chisholm, J. B. Hugg, E. B. Hutcherson, W. J. Elder, R. D. lVlclVIurchy, and Hector Lang who carried the tradition over into the new school. Coming to more recent times, Mr. Lang was succeeded in turn by Norman MaclVIurchy, and he by Norman Black who was followed by G. R. Dolan, now principal of Balfour Technical School. This brings the record up to the year 1930. Regina owes much to these men for the guidance and direction given to secondary education for over a quarter of a century. In the same connection mention is made of the unselfish service rendered by public spirited citizens who have served on the Collegiate Board of Trustees. They have given unstintingly of their time, money, and ability. A school can be no better than its staff. Our staff has at all times ranked high in scholarship, experience and ability because of the care used in the selection of our teachers. Some teachers have been on the staff but a short- time, some ten to fifteen years, some a few years longer than that, one or two getting up to or passing the quarter century mark. These latter especially are held in the highest esteem by each succeeding body of students. In this brief outline some space must be left for reference to the achievements and outstanding accomplishments of our students. We have always had our brilliant intellectuals who 10
