THE PRI NCIPAL'S MESSAGE For the past four school years, Canada has been taking her part in a life and death struggle to secure the Four Freedoms for all nations. Fortunately, the tide of war lately seems to have turned very definitely in favor of the United Nations, and those who should know assure us that final victory can be taken for granted during the next year or two. ln no small way has this school been affected. Six of our original teachers are now serving in the Armed Forces, hundreds of our former students are either over- seas or in training in Canada, and many have already given their lives or been reported missing. This past year our programme has been seriously interrupted. Two of our teachers and many students left us during the year to enlist. Due to the extra time required for cadet work, some of our academic classes have been reduced in number and practically all assemblies of the student body during school hours have been cancelled. In spite of all this, we have had a successful year. We appreciate particularly the services of Miss Maguire and Mrs. Paul, who so ably have filled the gaps caused by the resignations cf Miss McFarlane and Miss Brown. l would like to congratulate the student body on their splendid sportsmanship and success in all their extra-curricular activities and intercollegiate sports during the year. To those who are leaving City Park this year, l would sa l h tions at this I Y 0139 your associa- school have helped to fit you to become worthy citizens. Good Luck to you wherever you may go. Those who will still be with us, l would challenge you to do your best to keep up the good example set by your predecessors, -R. N. ANDERSON, 'I' X ' i ' THE PARK BENCH V SENIOR PIN SENIOR WATCH W , .. -- . , , I SHEILA CAIRNS ERIC SIGVALDASON A Message from the Senior Pin and Senior Watch Another year is past, and in passing ends for us a phase of life we will always remember. Our happiest memories will be those of the years of comradeship, work, and play spent in City Park. 1942-43 has been a proud year for us here. Never before have so many trophies graced the Library walls. The soccer, curling, and girls' basketball championships were won from Nutana, while the boys basketball and rugby cups were retained for another year. Not only in sports has City Park excelled but in Dramatics-our play winning another cup for Northern Saskatchewan. Last year the only lnter-collegiate Nite was held at City Park. Due to its great success the four collegiates adapted the innovation this year, which not only pro- vided evenings of sterling entertainment but a feeling of co-operation among the four collegiates. Other enjoyable evenings spent in the auditorium were the Operetta and Dramatic Night. -Four years ago the present system of student government was installed. ln the following years many changes have been made to guarantee its success. Never before has there been such a spirit cf co-operation and unity in the school body as a whole. We would like to extend our gratitude to Mr. Knight for his guidance in difficult times and to the teachers for their helpful co-cperation throughout the year. We wish to thank the House Leaders for their undying efforts to keep up the Inter-House spirit and competition. We regret deeply Lawrence Wiedrick's illness and we hope- fully extend to him our sincere wishes for a speedy and complete recovery. Early in our collegiate life the clouds of war overcast pre-war pleasures and brought serious thinking. Many of our fellow students and graduates have left civil life to enter the King's Services-to them we extend our sincere wishes of good luck and our hopes for a speedy victory. We hope that the knowledge you have gained in academic work, the sportsman- ship in extra curricular activities, the discipline in the Cadets, and character you have built up in City Park will stand by you in the coming years. 6 THE PARK BENCH A MESSAGE FROM THE EDITOR The publication of this book ends another year of school, the last for many of us. We have tried to set out in THE PARK BENCH all the activities of the past season, so that you may have a record of the achievements of the Alma Mater during that time. lf we were to deal adequately with this year's accomplishments, We could use reams of paper. Let it suffice to be said that they have been considerable, and that we are all proud of those who helped to bring triumph to City Park. Let us work and fight to retain our laurels next year. On looking back on four years of collegiate, we have still to be satisfied with the part freshmen play in the school's life. They should realize that all these clubs and activities are meant to include the whole school. Nor does the fault lie entirely with the freshmen. The seniors can and should do everything possible to incorporate each year's newcomers into the inner ranks of every school organization. For those who are leaving school there is an uncertain future. Many, in joining the forces, will be following examples set by brothers and friends. lt should not be forgotten that there is just as important a work for those who are unable to fight. Wherever we are, our object must be victory. City Park has six teachers, besides many students, in the armed forces. Mr. Walker left before the time cf most of us, but we still hear glowing reports of him. Mr. Frith will be remembered by most of us. He is stationed locally and sometimes visits the school. Mr. Arn, our former general coach and athletic director as well as teacher has his influence still felt in the school. Mr. 'Wickenden was Mr. MacKinnon's forerunner as staff representative on THE PARK BENCH. Many fond memories re- main. Miss Brown and Miss MacFarlane have left indelible impressions on City Park. THE PARK BENCH takes it upon itself to represent the school in wishing all of these teachers and the former students serving His Majesty, Godspeed and Good Luck! xt x We imagine that most of the students who buy this book peruse it more or less carefully, ready to comment on its good points, but equally ready to point out its inaccuracies and discrepancies. They will keep the book as a souvenir and from time to time glance at it, possibly without thinking of the time and labour spent on its production. lt is not that we begrudge this labour, for it was enjoyable and gave us some insight into the printing business. But we do look back and wonder what would have become of THE PARK BENCH had it not been for the business and advertising staff who got out and obtained enough advertising to put us over the top, In this connection we owe a great deal indeed to Mr. Gryte, Ruth Bowen, Doug Woodley and Ron Sommervill. The editors, appointed rather than elected, have rendered great service to the book. Grace Spring has been a great help in preparing this work. Mr. MacKinnon rates special praise for his helpful guidance. Thanks a lot, all of you. And to the rest of the school: remember that THE PARK BENCH is a school-wide project, capable of carrying on only so long as YOU back it. THE PARK BENCH 7 l SRC. STANDING: Lyall Markleyg Shirley Norrieg Harold Esteyg Beatrice Eastwood, joe Potts. SITTING: joan Rochong Sheila Cairnsg Mr Knightg Eric Sigvaldasong Beth Miller. THE SRC. Pictured above is that well known group, The Students' Representative Council, from which the schools activities radiate. Siggy and Sheila have been our leaders, elected to fill the offices cf Senior Pin and Senior Watch for this past year. No one has regretted that choice, for they have led our school through one of the most successful years in its history. Ice and Beth were there doing their best for Baie the whole year through. Shirley and Laurence, who unfortunately has been ill and was absent when the picture was taken, have stood faithfully and steadfastly at Cairns' helm, guiding it through the school year. Lyall and Ioan kept I-laultain in the midst of the fight all the time. Beatrice and Harold worked wholeheartedly throughout the school term and kept Martin right in there pitching. Indeed, with such a fine group cf workers, it is not surprising that we have hit the top in every- thing. Not even a murmur was heard from them throughout the whole year, so absorbed were they in their work, and so determined to do their duty ftwo bits, pleaseli But seriously, this past year is one to be remembered. And so to the S.R.C., for making the l942-1943 term as successful as it has been, we give the heartiest congratulations. 8 THE PARK BENCH ouse of gate As we are all aware, City Park is organized on a competitive house system. We consider it advisable to point out to the school in general and to the House of Bate in particular, the importance of the House system. As far as sports are con- cerned their value depends on quantity not quality. Although intercollegiate teams strive to produce the finest teams possible, House teams strive to draw each mem- ber into the sport concerned. Therefore, although you might not be able to make an inter-collegiate team, remember that your House team is equally if not more im- portant to the school as a whole. The track activities commenced this year, as usual, with the First Year Track Meet. The House of Cairns was really outstanding in this, but, however, Bate's newcomers gained valuable experience for future meets. Betty Wilson and Bob Spooner proved to be Bate's foremost contribution. The House soccer was practically absent from inter'House sports this year due to the delayed opening of the school term tC'est la guerrei. When occasion permits, we hope to see it back on the active list in its rightful place. Bate definitely walked off with the basketball honors this year. ln the girls' divisions the luveniles, Intermediates and Seniors won their respective divisions, but were not as successful in competition against the other schools. In the boys' divisions, the Juniors, Intermediates and Seniors reached the finals but only the luniors man- aged to capture the championship. However, the other two teams should be con- gratulated for their good sportsmanship and the determination which, they displayed. Our championship team, after having defeated Bedford in the semi-finals, was itself defeated by Tech in the finals. We should like to see, weather permitting, House hockey take its active place in inter-House sports. lt was made conspicuous by its absence this year. Our entry into the drama night this year was highly successful under the capable direction of Beverley Hogarth. The cast of our presentation INDIAN SUMMER in- cluded Beatrice Wrigley, Ralph Nursall, Don Kirk and Beth Miller. The latter was successful in carrying off the girls' individual award. The adjudicator, Professor Edmunds, commented favorably on the costuming and fine drama content therein. His criticisms were constructive for cast and audience alike. The annual school track meet was the second and final track event of the year. Our hopes for the championship, arising from the morning results, were doused at the completion of the day's activities. We finally found ourselves in third place following Cairns and Martin. Our sincerest appreciation goes to those students who entered events in order to uphold the House and who only managed to bring in a few points here and there. This sportsmanlike attitude is what counts most in our House system. We heartily thank, at the same time, those other students who were successful in capturing a great many points, amongst them Kay Nagle, Hazel Meyers, Betty Wilson, Lorne Carroll, Lloyd Ellis, Bob Spooner and Ted Spencer. We can say little about either girls' or boys' softball as their schedule is just commencing. However, we will warrant, since softball is a popular spcrt that it will take care of its own success. The House tennis tournament is being revived again, taking place in the spring rather than the fall. It should merit strong support from every one. In closing, we wish to thank all the members of the House of Bate for their swell support in all our activities this year. VVe know you will Support our successors as much as you have supported us. Thank you again, good luck and goodbye- -BETH MILLER and Jos P01-TS, BATE GIRLS THE PARK BENCH ll OUSIG Olc CJITNQ Clippety, clippety, clip, flap, Flippety, flippety, flip, flap, Clip, clap, flip, flap, C-A-I-R-N-S, CAIRNS, Rah! Rah! Rah! De Nihil, Nihil Fit sed De Multe, Multum Fit . The latter is well illustrated by the House of Cairns this year. Cairns produced few stars. However, the spirit and attitude of the students in general accounts for the great success of the House. Repeating the performance for the twelfth year, Cairns' soccer team captured the championship. Although all the players played well, we would especially like to mention lack Clark, Kewpie Sasseville, Sailor Hewitt, and Bob Abbey. Due to the fact that over half of the school basketball team was made up of Cairns boys, our house teams were greatly handicapped. ln spite of this, the inter- mediate team defeated the other competitors. Much of their success was due to their coach, Iirn Gardner, and lim Hall, Doug Woodley and lim Bain. The junior girls, not satisfied with the inter-house honors, proceeded to win the inter-collegiate championship. The splendid co-operation of the girls, captained by Margo Van Haerlem, and the excellent coaching of Doris Woods were the rnain factors leading to this victory. We wish to express our appreciation to Mrs. Paul and Mr. Evans whose leadership kept things running smoothly. In winning the First Year Track Meet, Cairns pays special tribute to Helen Willie and Keith Downey, for their stalwagt efforts not only brought honor to our house, but they carried off the individual trophies for themselves. Besides these, we have many other prospects from whom We expect great things. Although on Dramatic Night Cairns play did not succeed in taking first place, it was rated by most as runner-up. Carmen Zappa, director of The Cloak of Evil was aided by lim Gardner asst. director, lanet Culham, Iulius Malaro, Dave Klaehn, Keith Downey, Marybelle Lang and Frank Szombathy, last but certainly not least. Frank, a first year, received the award for the best actor. This young lad has shown con- siderable ability, and we wish him great success in the years to come. Climaxing the events cf the year, Cairns took the cup for the Inter-House Track Meet. The credit for the winning of this honor goes to all members of the house who participated, and especially to Frank Szombathy, winner of the juvenile individual award, Effie Hoffman, Margo Van Haerlem, Pearl Strumm, Iim Gardner, lim Hall and Keith Downey. We regret that Lawrence Wiedrick, our worthy House Leader, became ill in March, and has been unable to carry on his duties. We sincerely hope that he will soon recover. We are confident that the high standard attained by the House of Cairns will be lived up to in future years, and that the much coveted Grand Aggregate Shield, which we now hold, will be in our possession many more times. We did it before, and we can do it again. --BOB CRAIG and SHIRLEY NORRIE.

Rah! Rah! The House of Haultain can be proud of the standard upheld this year. Our championships, so far as trophies are concerned, are few, but we have won many championships in another field, that of fair play and sportsmanship. After all it is not that you've won or lost but how you played the game, and in this respect we have been foremost. Perhaps our biggest individual contribution to the school has been our Senior Watch, Siggy . For the past three years this honor has been held by a Haultain member. Five members of our House Soccer team were successful in making a position on the championship inter-collegiate team. In the House competition this aggregation always provided stiff competition to any opponent but we failed to cop the major honors. ln the first year track-meet a host of enthusiastic newcomers participated in the events to place our House in second position, a few points behind the winners. It was good work on the part of the freshies, and two outstanding track prospects, Eric Brown and Roberta Cole, were discovered. Basketball was especially encouraging this year and to Haultain juvenile boys go congratulations. They not only swept through the House league, but trounced both Bedford and Nutana to take inter-collegiate honors. ln the other divisions, Haultain boys played spirited basketball, and had large, enthusiastic turnvouts. Girls' House Easketball embarked on a new arrangement this year and proved highly successful. Haultain seniors were nosed out in the knock-out competition, and the other divisions gave their whole-hearted support. While our dramatic contribution to the annual Drama Night received its share of constructive criticism it was, however, according to the adjudicator a commendable effort. The selection of the play was criticised but those participating did justice to it. The cast under Director Nano Nagle and Assistant Murray Caswell included Col- leen Saunders, Marty Miles, Ron Sommervill and Lorna Main. We, of the House of Haultain, must remember that our work is 1-101 finished at the completion of this term. We must realize, to quote Mr. Arn, that we learn what we do, and our best is none too good. Get behind your House and your leaders and give them everything you've got. Take part in all activities-sports, drqmqtics and social, and you'll gain from them experiences which will be invaluable in the final game which is just ahead of us. IOAN ROCHON and LYALL MARKLEY.

First in learning Sports and all Boom chicarackbee Boom yah yah This year, the members of the House of Martin, although not very successful in competition, showed a co-operative and sportsmanlike spirit toward all activities. Due to a poor turnout, Martin got off to a slow start with the first year track meet. Elida Larson was Martin's outstanding athlete, netting a large majority of our points. She was also runner-up for individual honours. Our soccer team was seriously handicapped due to the large number of Martin boys playing on the Senior Rugby team. Even with this difficulty, the boys displayed a fine house spirit and turned out faithfully to the games. Martinites are looking forward to a better season next fall. Q House basketball, under the capable direction of Mrs. Paul and Mr. Evans, en- joyed a highly successful season. The senior boys house team, coached by Bill Hughes, captured the inter-house title, and then beat Nutaria in the finals. The girls teams did not make such a good showing, but it was not for lack of interest. Better luck next year, girls. . Martin's biggest triumph Qfthe year came when after much hard work, we captured the inter-house dramatic cup with our play The Spider's Web , capably directed by Sheila Gordon. The cast, consisting of Neil Harris, Frank Hammond, Malcolm Macdonald, Muriel Draycott, Pat Speck, Thurston Bonney, and Aird Hogarth, ably upheld Martin's reputation in dramatics. In the Northern Provincial Drama Festival, held at the Regent Theatre, the Martin cast again took top honours. Although not quite so successful in the Provincial Drama Festival, held in Darke Hall, Regina, the cast was commended on its fine performance. Neil Harris, as the mad doctor, won the award for the best individual performance. We are all proud of the effort put forth by the cast and directors, and wish to offer them our hearty congratulations. We would like to suggest for future years that house hockey be revived, and that house curling be established. We are of the opinion that more activities like these would stimulate a greater house spirit. We wish, in closing, to thank all the members of the house of Martin for their interest and co-operation in house and school activities, and to express a hope for success in coming years. -BEATRICE EASTWOOD, HAROLD ESTEY. LS MARTIN CIR MARTIN BOYS 20 THE PARK BENCH jnfsfz- ooze 372071115 BOYS' FIRST YEAR TRACK Last fall the first year students experienced their annual track meet. Due to the systematic work of the organizers, the various events were run off with perfect co-operation. To those in charge we extend our sincere thanks. The new idea of having seven places , definitely aroused keener competition and doubtlessly increased the number of participants. The events were the 75, lOO, and 440 yard sprints plus the high and broad jumps. Keith Downey of Cairns and Eric Brown of Haultain captured the top honors receiving 33 and 22 points respectively, Although Keith starred he had strong com- petition from various quarters. After the second afternoon it was a decided fact that Cairns and Haultain had the majority of winning athletes. However changes have been made to rectify this. Nevertheless the house spirit was present in good proportion. Again we wish to thank Mr. Mcliechney and the committee in charge: and hope that all future track meets will be met with the same enthusiasm. -BOB SPOONEB. ff C-IRLS' FIRST YEAR TRACK This year's grade nine girls started their first term at City Park with a bang-up track meet. As luck was with them, they had two beautiful October afternoons in which to run it off. The meet went smoothly, through the co-operation of the girls with one another and with the help of the teachers and the S.B.C. While there was co-operation in organizing the meet, on the track it was replaced by keen inter-house competition. Our stars of the afternoon were HELEN WILLIE CCD with 162 points, and ELIDA LARSON CMJ with l6 points. lt has been said that there is a very bright future for the grade nine girls. l wouldn't say that's right, but could be .

We'd like to thank Mrs. Paul and the senior girls for all the help they gave us, We heartily applaud the new system of having coaches for the individual teams. Thanks to the one who thought up this idea, and may they have many more of them. We are indeed proud of the clean sportsmanship shown in all games, and the manner in which the girls turned out to support their houses. Final standings are as follows: BATE-32: CAIRNS-30: MARTIN-25, HAULTAIN-9. -l EAN NETTLE THE PARK BENCH 21 BOYS' BASKETBALL The arrival cf spring brought to a close another successful season of basketball, City Park's most popular inter-house sport. Before the season opened, first year and new boys were given an opportunity to better acquaint themselves with the game by taking part in several practices. As a result, a much better game than might otherwise have been expected, was played throughout the season. As in previous years, exhibition games only were played before Christmas. Each team played in 3 of these, and as a result, was in fine condition for the league. After Christmas, 6 league games were played by each team. Victory fell to the HOUSE of MARTIN, which took a 2 point lead over second place BATE. The results of the league were as follows: IUVENILE IUNIOR INTERMEDIATE SENIOR TOTAL W T L W T L W T L W T L Total Bate 3 1 l 5 - l 3 - 3 3 - 3 29 Cairns - I l l - l 4 l l 2 - 4 I6 Haultain 2 2 2 5 - l l - 5 l - 5 20 Martin 5 - l l - 5 3 I 2 6 - - 31 In the subsequent two-game-total-point-knockouts, the following teams took top honors, and won the right to represent CITY PARK in the inter-collegiate playoffs: Haultain Iuveniles, Cairns Intermediates, Bate Iuniors, and Martin Seniors. Two of these teams were successful. Both Haultain Iuveniles and Martin Seniors carried off winners' laurels. Our other tWo.teams met with defeat due to lack of finish around the opponents basket. Time and again plays clicked perfectly, only to fall to pieces at the last moment. Credit for much of our success this year is due, as in past years, to Mr. Evans' untiring work, both in organization and at games. The fact that more boys took part in HOUSE BASKETBALL than in any other sport testifies to his high degree of efficiency. To Mr. Evans we express our sincere appreciation. We also extend thanks to the referees, scorekeepers, and timekeepers, for their excellent work in making our league the success it was. -TOM SHARP I ff CURLING H Curling this year in City Park was most successful, both competition and the number of teams entered being much greater than in the past. Eight teams in all were entered, in addition to a number of substitutes. As the playoffs drew near, all the cu.rlers were at their best and each team was eager to try for the honors. Their arrival brought mutual satisfactionto all, and after the smoke of battle had cleared, the team skipped by Herb Clement emerged victorious, having defeated Iinx Mac- Donald's rink in the final game. As a result of their activities, the skips of the eight rinksreceived crests. The inter-collegiate finals were played this year between Bedford Road, Nutana, and City Park. City Park first played Nutana and then met Bedford, winning both games, and so bringing a successful conclusion to the seasonts activities. The mem- bers of the winning team were: lim Crickett, Bob Sasseville, lim Harrington, and Herb Clement. - It is hoped that the increased interest in curling will continue next year, and under the capable guidance of Mr. Early it hardly seems possible for it to do other- wise. Many thanks Mr. Early, and may next year be even more prosperous. The excutive of the curling club this year consisted of: President-Don Kirk, Vice-President-Herb Clement, and Secretary-Bob Myers.

'lhe Iunior half-mile opened City Parlc's Annual Track Meet this year, cmd proved a fitting beginning to an exciting day. Competition was particularly keen, and as the number of contestants was proportionately great, it is little wonder that the events came to the expectations of all concerned. In the Senior division, Lorne Carroll was successful in taking top honors with 47 points, and in doing so, lived up to his reputation of being City Park's distance runner. l-le was followed closely by lim Gardner with 45 points, who made an ex- cellent showing in all events, and gave promise cf even greater things next year. Rollie Williams with 40 points and lim Hall with 36, were winner and runner-up respectively in the lunior division. The best of the luveniles were Frank Szombathy and Ted Spencer, both completing their first year at City Park. Frank's 51 points were enough to give him a 4V2 point lead over his close rival, who surprised every! one with his speed in the sprints, as well as in the distance running. The girls events were equally successful, with Kay Nagle topping the Senior division, outclistancing Sheila Cairns by Slfg points. Betty Salter was rewarded for her efforts by earning the lunior title 4Vg points ahead of her nearest opponent Dot Hotel. The honor of turning in the best Iuvenile performance went to Elida Lar- son, who led her nearest opponent Betty Wilson by l2 points. Elida got 35M points. When the results of the meet had been tabulated, members of the House of Cairns learned that they led the field with a grand total of 407W points, followed THE PARK BENCH 23 by Martin with 371V2, Bate with 3262, and Haultain with 249. All the Houses were well represented with both supporters and contestants, and it was this fact that contributed greatly to the general success of the day. To the members of the Staff and the Student Body who organized and conducted the various events, credit is indeed due, and is cheerfully given, and even if Mr. Andres-n's tape did get tangled, and the starting-gun did refuse to work, l am sure that the rest of the school will join me in saying that Track this year was one of City Park's best. -P.

The enthusiasm was good at first but dwindled off until we were obliged to give over the floor and the time to the boys' baskeiball. The officers were Helen Stone and Audrey Anton. Badminton seems out for the duration, but after the war, there will be a re-I awakened interest in the many sports now suffering from lack cf support. -HELEN STONE. R UGBY fi? Q Q THE PARK BENCH 25 Jafar-come Labs cgfzofzfi RUGBY The l942 rugby season turned out to be one of City Park's best. Winning the championship was a double victory for the men of the gridiron. ln the first place the maroon and gold boys added another cup to our collection: secondly they set a new record, for it is the third consecutive year a City Park rugby team has won the league title. Much is owed to the untiring efforts of Mr. Kalmakoff, who gave un- selfishly of his rugby talents. In the first game City Park met Nutana Collegiate's fighting boys. We came out on the long end of a 33-0 score. This gave the team the much-needed confidence which proved to be a winning factor in the championship game. The team gave a good account of itself in the second game, eking out a well earned victory over Tech, showing it would have to be reckoned with before that silver cup would leave our shelf. City Park succeeded in adding one more shutout when they trimmed Bedford 26-0, making it three straight wins, and demonstrating City Park had what it takes to win a championship. Once the team got rolling they moved the yardsticks down the field, pushing the Bedford boys over the goal-line for five touchdowns. The final game was a memorable one for many reasons. The most important was it proved our prowess on the rugby gridiron where City Park teams have always maintained an unblemished standard of both good sportsmanship and respect for the other teams in the circuit.. Tech were our opponents. The place, a cold, hard Cairn's field. Our boys were cold but they realized that Tech was cold too. The play seesawed up and down the field with each team in its tum usually trying two bucks and a punt. Suddenly City Park broke loose with flashing end runs, vicious line plunges, forwards straight and true, and dissillusioning reverses that seemed to work to perfection. At last splendid teamwork rewarded their efforts and they scored a touchdown which proved to be the winning score. The touchdown was converted and we led 6-O. The fighting Tech boys turned on the pressure but the City Park linemen held off threat after threat until the final whistle blew, retaining their unbeaten record, and keeping the cup on our library shelf. Throughout the entire schedule the City Park lads proved that teamwork and good sportsmanship always pay off in the end. The timing of the squad in their shifts to their positions was brought down to perfection by constant practice under Doug Carson, the assistant coach, who gave his utmost effort to get the boys in shape and round them out to fighting trim. His efforts were very successful as there was only one serious injury during the entire season, that being to Roland Williams, star backfielder for the past two seasons. And so l would like to say Thanks, fellows, for bringing back the title and to those fifteen fortunate boys of this year's squad who will be playing next year the best of luck to you.

G.ine up changes herel. The next game with Bedford was slightly rough.

The City Park Girls' Basketball Team made a real comeback this year, securing the city championship after a long lapse of thirteen years. The opening game against Tech really set the pace, with City Park on the better half cf Z6-14. The following league games proved fairly successful, with Nutana coming out on top and City Park second. This meant the battle for the cup was to be between the double blue and the maroon and gold The first game of a best twocut-of-three series was played on City Park flocr. The game drew many supporters from each school, but the north side team was determined more than ever to win that cup from Nutana High this year. After a hard fight City Park managed to end up ten points ahead of Nutana with a score of Z7-17. The second game of this exciting series was played at Nutana auditorium. This time Nutana turned the tables with a final score of 32-27. The deciding game of the season was played at Technical Collegiate with an enormous crowd in attendance. Cheers echoed and reechoed through the hall when many a thrill-packed second put the crowd on their feet. Time's up! An excited yell from the timekeeper gave this all- important game to City Park, who nosed out Nutana with a close score of 16-14. Honorable mention goes to the first and second line-ups for excellent teamwork and lContinued on Page 321 28 THE PARK BENCH BOYS' BASKETBALL I STANDING: Mr. Kalmakoffg Hugh Simpsong Lyall Markleyg Phil Spellerg jack Shaverg jim Gardrzerg Bob Sfrofher.

We who do not have the spark of ability and must stand on the sidelines to cheer our team on, envy the glory that covers them as they stride victorious from the floor. But behind this victory and glory lie hours of hard drill, when the smallest mistakes are brought out and raked over the coals. Behind our possession of the coveted trophy lies the untiring work of MR, KALMAKOFF and the team. Don't think those practices are all fun and play. Oh no! they're not. l know. In was at one once. After I was carried away from that session I could understand how the team could win games, playing at dazzling speed. All through the season City Park came up against one stumbling block: the old rival, Nutana. Games between the two teams were battles of the first degree. Once the score was 28-28, and another time, 20 all, During the finals the teams were extremely well matched. Through the regular schedule of two games with each collegiate, the boys out-played Tech 25-22 and 22-9. Bedford was defeated 32-l7 and 37-29. Yet none of these games was exactly a cinch. The finals with Nutana did not open very satisfactorily for City Park. On home grounds, yes, on home grounds, we were white-washed, beaten 25-l2. However, we were not yet sunk, not while the series was two out of three. Appearing in Nutana gym we showed we were still in the fight by trouncing the double blue 26-25. The last, a memorable game, was held on neutral soil, in Tech gym. As the game progressed City Park's mood changed from one disconsolation to jubilation. tContinued on pgge 317 THE PARK BENCH 29 HOCKEY BACK ROW: Mr. Gryteg Don Garrisong Hugh Kettchesong Zeby Kozolonkag Bud Eastwoodg Keith Downey, Stuart Sinclairg jim Crickettg Lorne Carrollg Lyall Markley,' Roland Mansong Bob Strother.

Although they did not fare so well, the boys always got out and fought a hard checking game. ln the six-game schedule, City Park won one, tied one, and lost tour, This may have been due to the tact that the other three collegiates had a team cf organized hockey players, while City Park had none. The squad consisted ct thirteen men this year. Bob McDonald, our stalwart goalie, turned in a brilliant performance every game. He saved many a sure goal against his team. The defence positions were given to Bob Craig, Lyall Markley, and Field McFaull. each hard hitting and playing their positions well. The team had three forward lines. A fast, hard checking line consisted oi Hugh Simpson, Doug McMillan, and lim Gardner. The goal getting line ct Bollie W'illiams, Tom Hewitt, and Don McDonald, showed up well, The third line which had plenty of fight at all times consisted of Lorne Carroll, Stewart Sinclair, and lim Crickett. Many thanks should be given to Mr. Gryte, who unseltishly gave up his time to come out and coach the squad, and don't be surprised it you see the hockey trophy on City Parks library shelves next year. ROLLIE WILLIAMS. 30 THE PARK BENCH JUNIOR HOCKEY The Iunicr Hockey Team didn't have much luck this year. lt was'nt able to win a single game. l-lcwever, in the final game after Nutana had won the series from Tech., the battling luniors sneaked in from behind and pulled off a tie, aided by B. Little who turned cut for the last two games. But there is hope for a bright future for this team next season, as only three of its members are not in first year, and one cf these will be able to play next winter. The small line of I. Tomlinson, G. Saunders, and G. Evans was pointed out by Mr. Gryte, on numerous occasions, as example ot budding puck-chasers. But the team's power rested in the hands of B. Eastwood, F. Szcmbathy and S. Hodgins. The second line of M. Caswell, H. Ketcheson, and I. Connell played steady hockey throughout the league. Backing the team were our three stalwart defensemen,- K. Downey, D. Garrison, and Z. Kozalonka. I. Strother guarded the nets in admirable style. The thanks ct the team goes out to our coach-Mr. Gryte-for his fine advice and gocd handling. -H.

We had talked the whole thing over: Iust what we were going to dog I told him l'd be wearing Khaki, But he chose the Air Force Blue. I joined up before his call came, Tramped cuound through mud and snow: Then he wrote that he was in it, And his letters held a glow. He was doing what he'd longed for, Training for a pilots seat: And I felt that he would get it, He could not accept deieat. But he passed the test and more so, Won his wings and bars of braid: Then he wrote me he'd be seeing me, That was all the plans we'd made. Then one day I had a letter, From a chap that we both knew: And he told me that my buddie, Had been called from out the blue. He was only one of thousands, Who had taken that last ride: But that didn't seem to help me, W'hen I heard my friend had died. We had planned the future often, What our Life would hold in storey But as ever-plans were ruined, This time by a world at war. Now whene're I hear the droning, Oi a plane far overhead: Bitter memories set me thinking, Of fond hopes that now are dead. Composed by Lfcpl. H. W. Parry, L53452 C Sqn., 8 Cdn. Reece Regt.

Corps Jervis Bay , in existance for ss.s one year, has a company of ap X tx M . Q X i X proximately three hundred and fifty The Royal Canadian Sea Cadets N-.s 'cs few Y - A X' Q Q My -s Cadets, of which about thirty are . from this Collegiate. About half of the Cadets are public school stu- dents, while the remainder are from Collegiates. The Corps has been divided into five squads who now specialize in these subjects. They are: the rifle squad, about thirty Cadets who do rifle drill, so that they may be used in parades etc., the signal squad, who practise with flags and Morse lamps, cutter-crews, who will man the whalers, leadingshands, leading seamen who take lectures, etc., so that they may give them to us. lt may be said that the leading- hands are quite proficient and re- ceive all the attention from their class. The remainder of the Cadets not thus engaged, are given field training and marching. The Corps has chosen Petty Of- ficers, one to each division, and a Chief Petty Officer, who is over all w - Petty Officers and leading hands. ' Three Petty Officers were selected from this collegiate. The discipline of the Corps it meted out by the Petty Officer. The severest punish- ment is to be discharged, or have your uniform taken from you, and being put in the beginners' squad. The Navy League has constructed a large camp capable of holding two-hundred Cadets at one time.We have two Whalers and a barge for the carnp. All the Sea Cadets in Saskatchewan, have a chance of going to camp. TI-IE ROYAL CANADIAN ARMY CADETS For two years the army cadets have struggled along with little aid and little equipment. This year it appeared that we would be working under similar conditions, but we determined to do a good job regardless of difficulties. City Park, Nutana and Bedford Road united to form a company under Cadet Major Ioe Potts. City Park was well represented both in Officers and N.C.O's. Cadet Captain lack Shaver became second in command and Cadet Lieutenants Don Kirk and Earle Elliott were Platoon Commanders. Cadet Sergeant Major Art Potts acted as Company Sergeant Major. Also we had Segeant Malcolm Macdonald and Corporals Cliff Anton and Don Crichton. The company was divided into four platoons and each followed a syllabus of training laid down by the Cadet officers and N.C.O's. This syllabus called for training THE PARK BENCH 39 in squad and rifle drill, small arms training, map reading, signalling, Bren gun, fieldcraft, and lectures on crganization and administration. Practically all the in- struction was done by the Officers and N.C.O's of the Company. In addition a little wcrk was done in ski training in spite of the adverse weather this winter. All officers, N.C.O's and other ranks V, who were interested attended an N.C.O. school after parades to learn the art of instructing. Due to this course the Cadet Corps next year Will have a fine nucleus cf trained N.C.O's and Officers. Brigadier G. H. H. Trudeau D.O.C,, MD. l2 was present at the annual inspection on May 12th. After taking the salute at the march past he watched the boys train- ing. Then he gave a very fine infcrmal talk to the Corps. The boys were out that day to put on their best shcw, and both the Brigadier and the District Cadet Officer were highly pleased. At the conclusion of the school year many of the Senior Cadets are going to the ranks of the active army, while cthers intend to apgly for the Canadian Army Course at the University of Saskatchewan. Wherex'er they are stationed We Wish them luck, and we feel sure that their cadet work will help them immensly on their road to success. ' To the junior cadets we leave a reccrd cf a year's hard and profitable training. May their time as senior cadets be as enjoyable as the time we spent. Carry on, fellows. -ARTHUR POTTS, Cadet C.S.M. l!f !f THE AI R CADETS Air Cadet Squadron 113, City Park Collegiate, Saskatoon, is now on a firm basis. Through the efforts of Ffl. Andreen, our squadron has beccme completely equipped and uniformed. The Air Cadets are in a position to give a good account of them- iselves, as they did in the Victory Loan Parade and in their annual inspection. 40 THE PARK BENCH in .f x ' i ' , Equipment consists of 50 rifles, respirators, aircraft recognition slides, tools for navigation, etc., and The Service Aircrew, the Air Force text book. The squadron is now completely uniformed, each cadet with cap and collar badges, and shoulder flashes. The N.C.O's have been drill tested by members of the R.C.A.F, and worked hard to earn their stripes. Various steps have been taken to secure discipline. Cadets have been confined to a single half day, A.C. officers have been supplied with uniforms, and the N.C.O.'s have the power to deal out punishment to the uncoeoperative. A definite syllabus has been drawn up for camp this summer. Camps will last 10 days and cadets will have a chance to see the workings of an R.C.A.F. station. Air Cadets are becoming a practical part of school life. ff THE CADET BAN D f-- A '-'K '2 . ,A -an f - .

According to the ancient custom of City Park, the Houses gather together their Greer Garsons and Gary Coopers and go into the acting racket in a terrific frenzy. For a month and a half students obligingly cussed their directors and brought their lunch. The result-an evening oi good entertainment. Haultain started the hall rolling with Wings ot Darkness , directed hy NANO NAGLE. RONNY SOMERVILL was commanded by the adjudicator Prof. F, H. Ed- munds. Slipping into a more mysterious play, CARMEN ZAPPA as Cairn's representative, presented The Cloak of Evil. lt was from this play our Gary Cooper came: FRANK SZOMBATHY. Congratulations, Frank. Setting again to lighter material, Baie, with the capable help of BEVERLY HOGARTH, produced Indian Summer. This play missed the Oscar by two points. Better luck next time. But not satisfied with coming second, BETH MILLER took the individual award followed closely by BEATRICE WRIGLEY, looth in the same play, Congratulations again. lt was Martin who did take the Oscar with The Spiders Web directed by SHEILA GORDON. To all the plays, Prof. Edmunds gave an excellent and constructive criticism. We would like to thank him for that, as well as the time he spent with The Spider's Web cast, coaching them for the Northern Iunior Drama Festival. Here City Park came through again. Competing against seven others, they brought another cup to the Library shelves. Mrs. Pat Reid-Banks was the adjudicator there, and with 42 THE PARK BENCH some very helpful suggestions from her, the cast moved to Regina for two hectic, tiring, but happy days. Here the play was not quite as successful, missing the mark by three or four points. But, so we wouldn't come home empty-handed, NEIL HARRIS went madder than ever and brought home the cup for the male actor. Congratulations, NEIL and may you work with more than match boxes next time. With nothing more to say I'll make a dramatic exit-So long. -SHEILA GORDON. ff-1'- lrwtev-Collegiate Night Something new in the line of student entertainment came forth this year-Inter Collegiate Night. The four schools got together and, by each contributing something, they turned out an evenings entertainment for each of the collegiates. Of the many items contributed two were particularly outstanding. A group of Nutana boys presented a Hawaiin Dance. Their costumes, typical of those worn by the native women of Waikaikai, set the audience in fits of laughter. Technically the performance was not as well done as some others but every blunder sent the audience rolling further down the aisles. The climax came when, made for the weaker sex, one costume broke under male treatment. Another better performance was put on by EARLE ELLIOTT'S orchestra. More than one City Park student has boasted of its home. With PETE KILLEY as Master of Ceremonies, I-IAZEL MEYERS as vocalist, and DAVE CLARK as drummer, the result could be nothing but the best. Truly we are proud of them. Bedford's contribution was in the form of a play which brought out the ability cf their talented students. The scene was the opening of a Nite Club. Hat check girls, cigarette girls and even the head waiter put on the floor show. The club, corn- plete with orchestra and customers gave some excellent amusement. Tech presented us with a show of song and dance, as well as a chorus number Songs of United Nations. NVith everyone doing their bit the evening was very successful. -SHEILA GORDON. ff'-l Mr. EGIlY1 Wh9H water becomes ice, what important change takes place? Sasseville- Change in price, sir. Bob Thorvaldson- The nerve of that streetcar conductor! He glared at me as if I hadn't paid any fare. Howard Baldwin- What did you do then? Bob T.- I glared back as if I had. Angry parent- While you were bidding my daughter good-night, did it ever dawn on you- -- Art Potts- Certainly not sir! I never stayed as late as that. The old man was sad.

But Mr. Bedford again coped successfully with the chatter. And with hard work we presented the operetta The Dragon of Wu Foo. tsee operettal. As usual, the Choir Dance went cff with a bang. The girls seemed to enjoy making the boys worry once in a while. At first it was decided to include only City Park boys but evidently due to a dirth of manpower here, we had to recruit outsiders at the last minute. The long dresses of many oi the girls made a pretty picture on the dance floor. A Wurlitzer was obtained for music and the whole thing was very enjoyable. Since the choir dance the choir has shrunk considerably. It is more manageable now as most of the interested and better singers kept on, but it could do with some more. We are working hard to hold onto our laurels in the coming Festival. We have had a fine executive this year, consisting of the following: President- lean Matheson, Vice-Pres.-Lois Rayner: Secretary-Mary Davidson, Fourth Year Representative-lean Cameron: Third Year Representative-Shirley lbbersong Second Year Representative-Dorothy Smith, First Year Representative-Roberta Cole. WILLADEAN LESLIE. o DQ ricrm kj This year's operetta, THE DRAGON OF WU FOO , was under the able direction of Mr. Bedford. It played to an appreciative capacity crowd for two nights. Backed by soldiers, sailors, keepers and colorfully arrayed citizens of the City of Wu Foo, the principals chased themselves gaily in a charming old-fashioned plot. The staunch Chan tHazel Meyersl pursued his true love, Kooie Yan tShii'ley McConnelll and finally won her, despite her domineering father, twillcxdean Lesliel and despite any help received from Poo Chow tBeverly Hoqarthl the meddling old aunt. Canadian sailors playing Dragon, a magic amulet, and a worried Keeper of the Dragon, blend into the plot somewhat complicating things. Delightful music and well meant puns rounded out this entertainment, producing a welcome change from the toil of the school day. Henderson- Did you hear about my brother stepping in front of a train last night? Bell- No, what happened? Henderson- Nothing. The train was standing still. lohnny had a little book, Its leaves were white as snow. He Wrote the answers into it, So he'd be sure to know. He carried it to class with him, To help with the exam: But the teacher stood beside him And it wasn't worth a-ithing. 46 THE PARK BENCH SCCMXL Back to School. Boy, that was a thought when we started last fall, wasn't it? But when we thought of the social life it wasn't so bad. lt didn't take long for the S.R.C. to get crackin ' either. After a week of hectic torture the Senior Masters let go their holds on the Freshie victims and showed the First Formers how to give out with the hot stuff. tlt says here.D The Freshies however, found they weren't absolutely free from care because the annual function wouln't be complete without Freshie Court to punish all the bad 'uns for should we say democratsl. Title of Rebel Number One went to our most prominent and welcomed freshie, Mr. MacKinnon tspelled with an A. The McKinnons were horse thieves.l So ended the night, and initiation for the First Formers who went home to sweet dreams of revenge three years hence. The juniors must have liked their first frolic because they rushed right back through mid-November weather for more ibut prontoll when the First and Second Year Dance was announced. The kids all came stag but it didn't take long for the gals and guys to get acquainted after the novelty dances came round. That old one- year veteran Murray Cuddles Caswell lead the kids a super time, and the new recorder worked itself into a sweat trying to keep sending out the sweet and hotf'. While the hep cats took the pause that refreshes , City Park's newly organized Swing Orchestra demonstrated what could be done with a lot of hot air and brass. Thinking that young 'uns were getting ahead of them, the seniors took over a gaily decorated auditorium a few weeks later. Blue and white streamers hung from the windows and lights, and similarly decked baskets displayed proudly the newly won rugby and soccer cups when the third and fourth year gang gathered. The pulsing rhythm of the luke Box stopped only while the couples ran a neck and neck race for Topsy- and doughnuts. lncidentally did you hear that certain young man say, Now l've seen everything, when he saw rival Cin jivel Cliff Anton trucking on by. tDid he mean it, or was it professional jealousy?D The whole student body gathered for the last dance of the first term. All the Brain Children dragged themselves away from the printed page and let loose under lack Shaver's not too careful guidance. Intermission came all too vite but it was appreciated when chocolate milk and delicious doughnuts were served. The kids listened to the sweet music of our second Glen Miller orchestra. Then we were dreamily waltzing or cannily jiving to the Iuke Box, filled with the dapperest selection of top band records, until wearily, but very happily we gathered our coats to depart. The first and second years again went into the lead, starting off the social events of the new term with their second party. Unluckily for the slaving conveners, tlrige kids didn't turn out very well for the jive session, but those who did had a good time anyhow and Wolf Caswell dragged himself away from the femmes long enough to keep things moving. The Alumni found a change in the arrangements for their big night. This year, due to the conspicuous absence of those strange four wheeled conveyances, the Big Bugs decided that there would be no glad rags worn at the dance, so the grads came strictly informal. Mrs. MacKinnon, Miss Wilson, and Miss Andreasen kindly lent their patronage to the gala affair. Dave Pugsley's orchestra was beating it out from the maroon and gold shell-like enclosure which matched the streamers on the windows and lights, Yes, the Alumni certainly had an enjoyable return visit to the old school . For their second dance of the year the third and fourth year boys took compas- sion on the girls, gave them a break, and made it a Sadie Hawkins' dance, The girls readily took advantage of their superiority and any of the slower ones found THE PARK BENCH 47 very few males left after the first rush. The sky was the limit-even corsages fit might be mentioned that the most fashionable type was carrotsl were much in evidence pinned becomingly to the gentlemen's coat lapels. The labors of the Decorating Com4 mittee were certainly not in vain, and the Wurlitzer, bribed on, gave out with the beat for the young Astaires. The Casanovas gave the ruling sex that old come hither look and were nobly rewarded. That old wit A. Potts played hard to get, and com- plementarily cracked, Lead me to the slaughter, daughter , but was soon put in his place ibut fastl by Don't be funny, sonny. The Choir Dance followed close on the heels of the Third and Fourth Year Dance. The boys had to take the coy and attractive part. Dress was optional, but most of the girls tock advantage of the chance and put on their glamour gowns-and hey, fel- lows, did you ever realize before what a difference an upswept hairdo and a shim- mering gown can make. The Wurlitzer, a little temperamental at first, finally found its bearings and really got in the groove. The new attractions of the year were the popular Matinee Dances sponsored to raise funds for Red Cross and other worthy causes. They were probably the most in- formal dances of the whole year but the students expressed a favorable opinion of them in the Park Bench Poll. This social year has been the most successful in City Park's history and the students would like to express their thanks to Mr. Knight, the S.R.C., and all the others who made the dances so enjoyable. Here's hoping the following year's are just as successful. ' - BERNICE PORTEOUS. ff Tl-IE LIBRARY The City Park library, under the efficient supervision of Mr. Gryte, has com- pleted a very satisfying year, in which a number of improvements were instituted for your convenience. Among these were new shelves for the books, a new system of pamphlet files-which, incidentally, deserve more attention from the students than they receive,-a new system of stamping books, and a great many new books. Some of these new books deserve mention here: for mystery story lovers The Moonstone by Collins, and Shanghai Passage by Pease, deserve looking into: The Falcon of Eric the Red by Coblenz and The Clutch of the Corsican by Bill are good historical novels: Air Cadets should welcome the addition of Your Wings by Iordanoff, and Arctic Pilot by Gilbert, With Lawrence in Arabia is an exciting story, by Lowell Thomas, which proves the old adage that truth can be stranger than fiction. These are only a few of the good books added to the library this year. One encouraging feature of the year was the increasing use of the library by first and second year students, due, no doubt, to the new library classes. This should lead to much greater library knowledge among the students. The student librarian assistants have so generously given of their time, capably handled the administrative library routine, helped to make the library routine, and helped to make the library an integral part of the school. These students have this year constituted the Library Board:Bruce Clarke-chairmanp lean Rowlesy Margaret Thompson: lanet Culham. 48 THE PARK BENCH Cl UBD SPEAKERS' CLUB The regular Thursday night meetings of the Speakers' Club were hampered a great deal this year. Nevertheless the meetings that were held were certainly suc- cessful. The first meeting of the season dealt with elections. Neil Harris was re-elected president, with Mary Davidson as vice-president, and Doug Woodley as secretary. Unfortunately Doug found he was unable to continue his duties in this position. lean Nettle was elected secretary in his place. The other meetings consisted of both prepared and impromptu speeches followed by helpful talks by Mr. Knight, giving us pointers on public speaking. This year because of a lack of time we had only one entry in the Bryant Oratory Contest-Willa Kernen-who spoke on The Western Wheat Problem. Our first year contest revealed that there was, indeed, a lot of talent amongst our younger students. Bill Slaid won the honors with his speech on the Red Cross. Other contestants no less good were Eric Brown, lackie Iohnson, Ken Turner, Peggy Browning, and Ruth Russell. The rest of the evening was given up to a quiz contest for the first year students only, and for which George Bradley so kindly gave his time. l feel sure this worthy club will continue its successes in future years. -JEAN NETTLE ff WRITERS, CLUB In spite of the handicap of a very late start-it was not organized until lanuary- the City Park Writer's Club has had one of its most successful seasons in 'several years. A great deal of the credit for this goes to Mr. MacKinnon for stepping in to take the place originally held by Mr. Vtfickenden. Under his supervision an interesting time, and a lot of fun was had by all. The star author of the club was Neil H. with a partiality for dark tragedies. Even when Ralph N. branched off into epic poetry the members did not complain too energetically, which speaks well for their patience. Several good stories were con- tributed by Sheila G. and Dave K., Colleen C., Grace S., Sheilla C., Doug. W., and Gordon T. Other good members were Carmen Z. and Shirley N. Doug W., besides contributing stories, also acted as president, and kept the meeting from degenerating into brawls. Sheila G. held down the post of secretary performing very well except for an unfortunate tendency to call the minutes minutes, when the club had unanimously decided to call them half-hours, for variety. Altogether we had a very good year, but were disappointed in the fact that the members were all third and fourth years. lt is hoped that next year more first and second year students will turn out for the meetings. -BRUCE CLARKE. 'X f' Tom McGregor- You sold me a car two weeks ago. Salesman- Yessir. McGregor- Tell me again all you said about it then. l'm getting discouraged. THE PARK BENCH 49 FILM CLUB With Mr. MacKinnon acting :is incentive City Park organized, for the first time in its history, a Film Club. The purpose of this club was, as the name suggests, to show films for recreation as well as educational purposes. At the first meeting Donald Kirk was elected president, lean Cameron vice-president, and lan Thomson secretary. An assisting committee ccmpcsed of Tom McGregor, Art Potts, and Bill Hellofs was also elected to look out for the opinions of the majority. lt was decided to meet every second Thursday at seven forty-five P.M. Although not many meetings were held, a great deal was accomplished in the shcrt time the club operated. As films were shown, instructive talks dealing with their background and explaining the nature of the film were given. Katherine Nagle spoke on the film Dentistry As A Career , Bob Thorvaldson gave a reading on Walt Disney's film Donald's Decision , and Beverley Hogarth presented a summary on Food, Weapon cf Conquest. Among the other films shown and enjoyed as evidenced by voting was, This is Blitz , Inside Fighting China. Since the club was received with such gratifying interest and worked so success- fully, we have high hcpes fcr the future. With Mr. MacKinnon as guiding light our course ought to be straight. -CARMEN ZAPPA. ff THE PARK BENCH POLL The Park Bench Poll received a hearty welcome, in spite of a week of corny advertising. Remember it? Mr. Yake and Mr. Evans had nightly arguments as to the object of it all. They came forth with some amazing ideas. While the questiones may have seemed frivolous, we did find out some pertinent facts about student opinion. For example, by a very close margin, Winston Churchill was placed above Franklin D. Roosevelt as the world's outstanding personality. Other interesting facts were: brunettes are preferred before blondes and red- heads, the slow beat has more addicts than has jitterbugging Cas one put it, I pre- fer to drool lp most students are the silent type. Many and varied were the extra curricular activities reported. There were a number of interesting comments re Matinee and Sadie Hawkins' dances. A point to remember-City Park dances are too cliquey, and that is something we don't want! Boys to watcn for, are Ioe Potts, the Strother brothers and Bing Crosby. And keep an eye open for Iocelyn Haffner and Sheila Cairns. fEye wonder why?J Thanks for your suggestions, mates. Next year we hope the Poll will flourish just as vigorously and by all means for a longer period. -Ye harassed quorum. After terrific struggles, Lloyd Ellis finished his History paper, looked it sadly over, and then, at the end, wrote: Dear Mr. McKechney: lf you sell any of my answers to the funny papers, I expect you to split fifty-fifty with me. 1 X48 gin afx --1' 2 r' , Xl, , .3 f , X W, A .

H.M.C.S. Those letters H.M.C.S. kept ringing, like ships bells, in her mind,- H.M.C.S.-H.M.C.S.- He was so young to go. She took the opportunity, when he turned to the rnirror, to brush the telltale tears away. He passed his hand through the mop of sunshine he had for hair and then covered it With the stiff cap. He looked at his watch as if he were the admiral timing an attack. It's getting late, Mum. I can't be late in the Navy, you know. His father had given him his watch on his last leave. He had been an army man.-But his son-his son-stuck to the navy. Thank goodness he hadn't let Bob go the year before and lie about his age. He had been firm about that. I No son, he had said, You're too young to go. If they wanted them at your age they'd ask for them but you-you're still a baby. He had smiled at this last statement to avoid the inevitable reproach.-But now-nothing could stop him and nothing had tried. Bob kept looking at himself, not wishing to leave her. She could read the slightly frightened look in his eyes. Maybe she had spoiled him? His desire not to leave gave her some happiness when, calling good-bye, he ran down the path and disappeared behind the lilacs. She went back to her house work remembering how he had pulled down his jumper: how he had twisted around to straighten his collar, how he had been so particular about the cap ribbon being straight. And now, her son, her only son had gone. But surely, surely he would come back. And he wouldn't be too long. Thus encouraged she continued her work. Yes, he would be back-soon, running from the lilacs that had taken him, greatly ex- cited, his sailor suit terribly soiled, telling her of his first day at school. -SHEILA GORDON. EATING I have always liked eating. As long as I can remember, even when I was still crawling, I had a great love for my food. In those days it was milk puddings for meals and coal and earth between times, for roughage I suppose. I even managed to get a nickel down one day. Have I changed any? Not a great deal, I'm sure. My regular meals have changed the most, but chiefly in size, for I still like milk puddings. Now I gorge myself, using potatoes for bulk, until I feel a little too com- fortable. However, my in-between meals haven't changed. Instead of coal and earth I now chew upon pens, pencils, finger-nails, pipe stems, cigarettes and the odd stogie. Is there any difference? No! I don't think so-I still love eating. Don't we all? -DAVE DOW. ff TOP ROW: CLeft to rightj I. School spirit. 2. Who me? 3. He means busi- ness. 4. He's all wet. SECOND ROW: I.

I knew Canada as a pretty and amazingly big country marked in red on the world map, and I knew about Wolfe's successful attack. Canada being so large, I don't think anyone could claim to know and like it all. But what I have seen I have liked. In spite of all the propaganda I have heard about the beauty of the prairie, I have first got used to it and then to like it. But to appreciate anything, one has to give it up. After I learned the local dialect, I found that the schools were coeducational and had mistresses. Not having been to such a school since I was knee-high to a termite, I was slightly durnbfounded. I-Iowever, everyone else didn't seem to mind, and after wandering round the school in a daze for some time, I started to work. That was a bad habit I had acquired at a small private school in England, where I was ruled with a rod of cast iron. But I soon got wise and relaxed, at least till the first dance. I thought I would relax there too, till I saw the war-dance that is jitter-bugging. The Indians had something there. Of course I immediately noted the refining feminine influence, tSexton Blake has nothing on mel. Baseball, the only Canadian sport really new to me, will provide me with a good excuse for being poor at cricket fthe bat is held differentlyl and vice versa. Of course, City Park is the best collegiate-that goes without saying. The teachers are much more resigned to their fate than in the Old Country, and the clock-watchers Cstudents are only allowed in on leashesl a lot less. I like the idea of student govern- ment, as opposed to the monitor system. One thing I really like is the variety of outside activities. Drug stores seem to be ,part of the lite in these parts, and I will always remember my first coca-cola. I was treated to it on the train by a couple of airmen, ,and though I like it now, I couldn't drink it then. Canada has meant to me a new and more varied life in a country safe from the horrors of War which I was lucky enough to miss, but can understand in part. -IOI-IN CONNELL. ff F.

The bright red rays of the rising sun peeked out over the hills to the east, and then bathed the great Compiegne forest in flaming red. The white buildings of the little village of Monthois, in northern France, stood out sharply against the dark green of the surrounding countyside. The scene was altogether one of surpassing beauty, and no one had ever been more aware of it than the silent watcher on a small rise just west of the village, who viewed it from behind the barred window of a stone building, and saw it spread out beyond the wearily pacing sentries and the double row of barbed wire. When viewed closer, this man, whose name was Iacgues Loudeac, was seen to h t h d h be of about thirty years of age, bearded and raggedly clothed. As e wac e e her times when he had viewed the scene under pleasanter was thinking back to ot circumstances. There was the time, when, as a boy, with his friend Adrienne, he had gone out before dawn to catch fish in the little stream at the foot of the knoll, and had stood and watched the sun rise from this very spot. There had been no concentration camp here at that time. Iacgues thought of the days he had spent playing in that same Compiegne Forest with his sister Marie, and the picnics with his father and mother. Then his mind went to the time when he was arrested. He had been walking on the Main Street of the little village when the grey-uniformed men had appeared. They had spent halt an hour picking out twenty of the most able bodied, and Iacques had been one of them. That was six months ago. lt had not been pleasant in the camp: bad food twice a day, and the clothes he now wore were the ones which he had had on when the soldiers had arrested him: but at least it had been bearable. Then out of a blue sky had come that formal statement from the stern-faced Over-lieutenant, informing him that a German soldier had been murdered in a town across the hills and that he had been chosen to be one of the hostages to be shot in reprisal. That had been yesterday, and now he was waiting for the soldiers to come. There was the tread of marching feet, a sharp command, and a rattling at the door. lacques thought, Will I keep my nerve? Can I hold myself in? Will l be like that other one last week whom they had to drag away? The door opened, and lacgues stepped out, to be placed in the middle of the squad of soldiers. As in a dream, he allowed himself to be marched across the yard and out of the gate on to the dirt road. At that instant fear struck him, and his knees felt weak. Can l stand this much longer, he thought desperately. Will l show these soldiers that l am a coward? At that instant the song started. The country people had heard about the exe- cution and were hiding in the woods beside the rcad to watch the procession pass, and they were singing La Marseillaiseuz- Allons, enfants de la patrie, Le jour de gloire est arrive ' Onward children of your Country, The day of glory has arrived. Iacques head snapped up. lf his people had not forgotten him, then he should not disgrace them. Centre nous de la tyrannie L' e'tendard sanglant est leve'! Against you stands tyranny, The blood stained banner has been raised! The song continued. The soldiers were marching in step with it now. They turned off the trail and halted beside a small cliff. Iacques was placed in front of the cliff and the soldiers lined up before him. THE PARK BENCH 55 Why don't they hurry? To Iacques they seemed to be deliberately torturing him. The rifles were raised. Now its coming, l've got to hold on now. And through all this the scng continued: lls viennent jusgue dans nos bras, Egorger nos tils, nos compagnes. They are coming into our arms, To slaughter our sons, our friends. A silence. Fire! The hills echoed back thesound of the valley. The figure beiore the cliff stilfened for an instant and then slumped tc the ground. But suddenly the song retumed, at once triumphant and I little sad. Triumphant cver the ccming victory of France, and sad because of the deatlrr ct one of her sons. Aux armes, citoyens, iormez vos bataillcns! Marchons, Marchons, Qu'un sang impur abreuve nos sillons! To arms, citizens! prepare your battalions! March on, March on! Let their vile blood flow through our fieldsl' Marchons, Marchons!

For a short time after his death the papers played it up, and there was a great deal of interest, but then people found other things to talk about and Ioseph Stevens was soon forgotten. I have thought a great deal about his death. It was an event that contained, to me, the mystery of a tale from Poe, and the more I think of it the more it fascinated me. I find that I can no longer keep from putting down the story of Ioseph Stevens' death. The first time that I saw Ioseph was at a festival in Boston. You see, he was a violinist. I remember at the time remarking to myself when I heard him play that here was a genius. Uncultivated, true, but a genius, I felt, who would some day force his music into the staid hearts of music critics everywhere. I went up to him and introduced myself, for I was deeply interested in this man who could thrill a hardened newspaperman like myself. We talked for a while. He talked little and with restraint. We spoke of his music and of his life. I learned that afternoon that he worked as a clerk in Stamens Grocery, a small store in Boston. I-Ie told me that it wasn't much but it gave him his nights free to practise his violin. I learned that above everything he had a tremendous love for music and particularly for the violin. ' When I returned to New York I unfortunately lost touch with Ioseph Stevens. Then one day I noticed in the Times an announcement that lose' Iturbi was presenting his protege' Ioseph Stevens at Carnegie Hall on the 26th of Iuly. Ioseph Stevens was to play his own Concerto for Violin. I immediately reserved a box, for I took a kind of pride in Iturbi's and my mutual opinion of Ioseph. That night I shall never forget. Iturbi and Ioseph appeared together. I was very shocked, but my amazement soon turned to sympathy. For walking out on the stage was Ioseph attired in an ill fitting business suit. This caused a murmur throughout the audience and I heard a few laughs. I could see that he was ill, for he was pale and his face was drawn. He tripped slightly, and doing so he dropped his bow. This caused a general laugh to break out and I could see things were going to go bad for him. Iturbi raised his baton and the orchestra started the concerto. I was very dis- appointed. For stemming forth from Stevens' violin came not the beautiful music I had expected, but rather frightened music that was unemotional and uninteresting. As the concerto progressed the audience became restless. There was a general stir- ring. Stevens looked very ill. Then as he began the final movement a change came over him. I don't know whether the audience noted it or not in him, but they noticed it in his music. I have never in my life heard music so fine and beautiful. It was truly inspiring, Words can not describe the effect it had on everyone. The music grew and reached its climax. Iust as the last notes of Ioseph's violin died out, his bow dropped from his hand and he slumped to the floor. I felt a personal interest in Ioseph Stevens so I hurried down to the stage. A doctor was summoned. This is announced that Ioseph Stevens twenty minutes. This announcement caused superbly a violin concerto. As then because there seemed no people stopped thinking about But I have thought about at is almost too unbelievable of Stevens' Concerto we were the strange part. After examining Ioseph Stevens he was dead and had been dead for at least fifteen or quite a stir among us, for we hod just seen him finish I said his death caused quite a stir for awhile and explanation other than that the doctor was mistaken, it. it often ever since. The only explanation I can arrive to be practical, I believe that for the last movement listening to a dead man play. Yes, a dead man. A THE PARK BENCH 57 man whose soul had left him and joined his music. That is why there was such a brilliant change in the last movement. He had lost his life but his music had gained it. I heard Ioseph Stevens' Concerto once since. l'm sorry to say I did not enjoy it, for I shall never forget that evening ten years ago when the most beautiful music I have heard, came from the bow of a dead man. -NEIL HARRIS. EXCHANGES It was with great enjoyment that we read over the year books of other schools- noting each peculiarity, each improvement-appreciating the effort that had been put into them, and above all, conscious of the school spirit that had made such excellent publications possible. We wish to congratulate the following schools for their good work, and we hope the next year will be as successful. Our thanks go to the following ...... THE CYNOSURE-Prince Albert Collegiate, Prince Albert-Good, original class notes: outstanding literary section-especially Cabin Boy . Lack of photographs: caters too much to the seniors. R.S.D. ROYAL DUNGANNON SCHOOL-Belfast, Northern Ireland-Very different from the Canadian type cf magazine. No individual class notes, only general school notes. Mainly a literary magazine with short write-ups of all school sports. Lack of pictures of any sort tends to make book uninteresting. HERMES-Nutana Collegiate. Saskatoon-Very striking cover: takes in all phases cf school life, but what happened to your literary section? Bigger candid camera section would be better. KELVIN YEAR BOOK-Kelvin High School, Winnipeg, Manitoba-A complete, all round book. Outstanding section From Our Boys In Uniform . Complete literary section containing articles from their short story contest, photography competition, poetry competition essay contest and cartoon contest. Odd detail-girls wear uniforms. CENTRAL OUTLOOK-Central Collegiate-Moose law, Saskatchewan-Novel sketches, introducing sections, add to it greatly. Book lacks oomph -better printing and arrangement of sections would help. SCOTT ECHOESfAScott Collegiate-Regina, Saskatchewan-A good, newsy magaziney lacks a candid camera section: Something new .... write-ups on teachers, e.g. Mr. Steer.-Wine, women and song-well, a lot of song anyway. NEW ERA-Brandon Collegiate-Brandon, Manitoba-Work of assembling, typing, illustrating, done completely by students . . . . that's what I call a school magazine. Congratulations. Good literary section, especially your play. YE FLAME--Central Collegiate-Regina-Excellent candid camera sectionfbest yetp too much space for class pictures and notes. LANTERN-Bedford Road Collegiate-Saskatoon-A well-edited account cf student activities: neat arrangement of sections. Good photography with especially good candid camera shots. 58 THE PARK BENCH YEAR NOTE' 4A CATEGORY BETH MILLER tBJ: Was I surprised. BILL LAMB tCJ: His definition of a wolf-a four legged animal.
