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.

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.

27 THE CRESCENT BUGLE, 1928 THE SPICE OF LIFE “Variety is the spice of life,” is an old saying that found a very practical application at Bowness on Saturday, June 9th. The editors, during a moment of relaxation, were in a canoe enjoying a few rest¬ ful moments on the placid lagoon, when who should happen along but Ralph Claxton and Dick King in a similar craft. Ralph, the famous and irresistible clown, tried balancing on one foot, much to King’s embarrassment, who wildly attempted to keep the craft top-side up. Excitement increased momentarily till at last Ralph, realizing that spectators were assembling on the banks, with great presence of mind executed a neat back somersault for their edification. Dick, fearing to be out-done performed a perfect swan dive, a feat which is very difficult to do from a canoe. After seeing this, the editors, dreading a similar fate, said a silent prayer, did a hasty about-turn and scooted for the bank. It was reached safely and everybody felt much re¬ freshed from both the exercise derived from fast paddling and by the fancy diving that had been provided by our clever fellowmen.
