E. H. S. YEAR BOOK 15 ASSEMBLY HALL—MISS CARSWELL FUTURE OF THE A. H. BOYS The year is 1951. I had just returned to Edmonton for the first time since I left in 1935. I dropped into a store, bought a newspaper and began reading. Why! What is this? Right on the front page it says Mr. James Alexander has been elected as Prime Minister of Canada. Oh, that is Jim, an old school chum of mine! Then I thought—maybe I will see what some of the other of my school friends are doing. I turned the page, and right in front of me there was an article written by Jack Muir. So Jack turned out to be a reporter! Well, I next turned to the sport page and occupying the headline was a notice, “Leo Le Blanc scores a knockout.” Leo a fighter? And to think how timid he was back in school. Alex Hamill is just retiring after leading Canadian sprinters for ten years. Over in the corner of the next page I noticed that Don. Wallace and Ben Collier have joined a vaudeville company as feminine inpersonators, and Stanley Nelson is an opera singer. Hm-m, that’s strange. Here is an account about Dave Mitchell who holds the world speechless with his singing violin. Then I turned to the last page of the paper and before me stood an article saying that Hamish McKinven, world famous surgeon, has invented a freckle remover. And here I see that Clifford Clark, after ten years of trying has broken Gar Wood’s speedboat record. Irvine Gaeble is teaching Latin at the University of Alberta. I see that William Berezuk, famous explorer, is very ill with laughing sickness. And what do you suppose Nick Kowpak is doing? Why he is amusing children with his Punch and Judy show. And so I came to the end of my paper, much wiser as to the present occupations of my old A. H. friends.

It’s his complaint—you’ll hear it ring In German, French, or Math, “You don’t know beans about the thing, You tread a dang’rous path!” THE SCHOOL TEA Pink snapdragons and pussywillows formed the motif of a pretty tea on Friday afternoon, April 28th, when the grade eleven and twelve students were at home to their parents and friends in the assembly hall of the school. Mr. Hyde and Augusta Evans were tea conveners. A committee headed by Willard Walker, class president, welcomed the guests. Shar¬ ing honors at the tea table were: Mrs. L. Y. Cairns, Mrs. G. A. McKee, Mrs. W. D. Ferris and Mrs. Hyde. Members of the staff assisted in the entertaining and the school orchestra played softly throughout the tea hour.
