THE CRESCENT BUGLE, 1928 25 Around the Halls There may be profits in these arts but still Learning is labor, call it what you will. “The Spotlight” —Lethbridge High School. The size of your book might well be increased. We think otherwise very good. A few more cartoons would certainly help. We notice that you are going to have a new school next year. Congratulations; so are we. As a school we wish to express our sincere sympathy to Hugh Arnold in his recent sad bereavement. ’Tis not what man does which exalts him; but what man would do. A man’s reach should exceed his grasp, or what’s a Heaven for. Little we think, Less we do; Isn’t it funny How we pull through. Our Goal Oh ships sail east And ships sail west, While the self-same breezes blow; It’s the set of their sails, And not the gales That determines the way they go. As the winds of the sea Are the ways of fate, As we journey along through life; It’s the set of the soul That determines the goal; And not the calm nor the strife. Anon.

24 THE CRESCENT BUGLE, 1928 THE FRESHMEN Well, here we are—the IX’s, and you can always tell a niner by the way he swells his chest. We are proud to think that we have the privilege of placing this insignificant paragraph beside some of the marvellous literary gems of the Seniors. We are at the first rung of the ladder, and, with knees rattling like castanets, we think of our first real debut into the High school— the June exams. We intend to do our best in these exams, and to hold up the honor of C.H.C.I. like a flaming torch—this year and years to come. All good students were once in Grade IX, so watch us strut our stuff. Norah Burton said last year “What the Sunbeam mystery car did for the automobile, we hope to do for Crescent Heights.” We had better change this to the Bluebird because this; car holds the world’s record. Well, toodle-oo, my friends. Next year we will be Tenner D and then we can read the freshmen’s write-up and laugh. STANLEY “Red” KNIGHT. LIKE Tfl CflRfVl VEK boOK 0 - R Lift Tint

26 THE CRESCENT BUGLE, 1928 “I am wealthy in my friends.” “Receipt for having a friend—Be one.” “Sedentary work,” said the professor, “tends to weaken the vitality.” “In other words,” butted in the smart student, “the more you sit the less you can stand.” “Exactly,” retorted the professor, “and when one lies a great deal one’s standing is lost completely.” Nervous Freshman to Freshette (walking home from meet) — “Please excuse the way I limp, but I’m a little stiff from rugby.” Bashful Freshette (shyly)—“Where did you say you were from?” “It ain’t the individual, nor the army as a whole, But the everlasting team-work of every bloomin’ soul.” —Kipling.
