This issue of the Crescent Heights School yearbook is gratefully dedicated to Mr. W. C. Frickleton, for many years a teacher at this school and since 1955 Head of the Guidance Department in Crescent. Born in Owen Sound, Ontario, Mr. Frickleton attended High School in Redcliffe, Alberta and obtained his teacher training at the Normal School in Calgary in 1916. 1917 saw him in the Air Force of World War 1, followed by a period of convalescence in Switzerland. After the war, during his attendance at the University in Edmon¬ ton, Mr. Frickleton married. Following graduation, he taught near Camrose, at Pincher Creek and later at East Calgary High School, now Colonel Walker Junior High School. Mr. Frickleton came to Crescent in 1936 and, before entering the guidance field, he taught chiefly physics. Camping, fishing, hunting and golfing are among Mr. Frickleton ' s interests. Following his retirement in June of this year, Mr. and Mrs. Frickle¬ ton plan a trailer trip, gypsying south, when the weather turns colder in the autumn. During their trip to Florida and in succeeding years we hope Mr. and Mrs. Frickleton find much to enjoy. On behalf of all students and teachers with whom Mr. Frickleton has worked, The Bugle wishes to express appreciation for his service to Crescent Heights and best wishes for the future. 5

KAREN SOMMER Editor-in-Chief The life of people in Calgary today is one of rapid changes and vivid contrasts. Just this year we have witnessed the beginning of jet travel in the Canadian West. In three hours we can fly from Calgary to Toronto by jet. In a matter of nine hours we can be in Europe. When old timers begin recalling the mode of transportation which they used, it makes us stop and wonder what science will give us in our lifetime. Today ' s high school students may travel to the moon, Venus, Mars, or even Pluto! This is no more unlikely than changes which have occurred in the lifetime of Calgary ' s senior citizens. One of these pioneers, Mr. K. Wright, who is now ninety-five, was owner of a bull train which ran from Calgary to Fort Benton (now Great Falls) in the 1880 ' s. The outfit was drawn by six or eight oxen and could carry up to fifteen thousand pounds. It took the bull train five weeks to cover the 380 mile route. Mr. Wright also operated a Concord Coach line. A coach would be pulled by four horses and would carry twelve to fifteen people as well as mail. During the 1870 ' s and 1880 ' s, this was one of the speediest methods of travel. To Mr. Wright, as a young boy, travel¬ ling by oxcart was just as adventurous as travelling by jet is for us. What do you suppose we shall see in the future? What shall be re¬ quired of us to help fulfil the needs of our time? Much shall be re¬ quired of those to whom much is given. We need dedicated persons if we are to achieve. We need people who will look upon life with a positive, creative attitude. We need people who can co-operate with others so that, likewise, nations can co-operate. We must try to use our discoveries for the betterment of mankind, to use our creative impulses for the alleviation of suffering and poverty. This is the goal for which we should strive. 7
