14 THE WHISPER The Editorial Staff Front Row : Dorothy Johnson, Dorothy Mackay Back Row : Cecelia Blackwood, Gordon Jackson, Austin Dewar, Kathleen Hamilton Success Would you be great scholars or suc¬ cessful merchants— strive and you will succeed. Strive in season, and out of season, early and late, night and morn¬ ing and success will come. It may be tardy, it may linger, reluctant to ap¬ proach, but it will come. Do not worry if success does not come all at once. The world grows men as it does forest trees— by minute additions. We never see them grow, but only know that they have grown. Entertain no thought of defeat : Mental anxiety takes away vitality and push and leaves lassitude and languor. But the self-poised man has confidence in himself to dare and do; he never wob¬ bles or staggers from side to side, but pushes right ahead as in a straight course, keeping his destiny ever in view. Those who believe in themselves, who are conscious of their own force of character, of brain and of body, touch the wire of infinite power and can accomplish what would be impossible to those who lack the vital energy which waits on self con¬ centration and knows not worry. There is enough of this vital energy wasted in useless harmful worry to run all the af¬ fairs of the world. Entertain no thought of defeat, marshall your forces, put them in charge of those two invincible officers “I can” and “I will” and you need not fear, but you will win a glorious victory and plant your standard on the sun kissed heights of success.

15 THE WHISPER The Liierartj Society It is the privilege of every student in the Collegiate to be a member of the Literary Society, which is conducted by an executive, chosen by them, and for the purpose of assisting in mutual ad¬ vancement along literary lines. This year the officers were changed in February in order to bring more students in closer touch with the proper procedure of a public meeting. From the very beginning of the term, enthusiasm ran high, heated arguments took place and eventually amidst shouts and cheers the following were elected by the students for the various offices : Hon. Presidents—Mr. McAfee. Mr. Mil¬ lar, Mr. Segsworth. President—Clifford Douglas. Vice-Pres.—Bill Wilson. Sec.—Treas.—Edna Ford. Room Representatives—E. Robertson, M. Boone, W. Gordon, R. Jones. Librarians—Ruby Billett, Eva Stevens. Editor—Dorothy Mackay. Assistant—Dorothy Johnson. The second election, in February, was conducted as nearly as possible, the same as official town elections. During the campaign the discussions of the students nominated for the various positions ad¬ ded greatly to the excitement. President—Austin Dewar. Vice-Pres.—Bill Wilson. Sec.-Treas.—Margaret Boone. Room Representatives—Grace Baden- och, John Dobolshonski, Nina Ashmore, Russell Jones. AN APPRECIATION The Literary Executives, 1928-29, can¬ not be commended enough for the ex¬ cellent work they have accomplished this year. Every student, on the executives, gave the best he could to the school and entered whole-heartedly into the activ¬ ities which have made the school year so successful. A word of thanks and praise should not be omitted to these students, who have taken such a vital interest in our Literary Society. SOCIAL This term is one which will not be easily forgotten by the members of the I. H. C. Due to the fact that we have only one Literary meeting a month we have had some very interesting ones. At these meetings the Literary Executives have gained knowledge in how to plan and manage meetings of this type: the girls have been taught how to arrange for and manage a school party—both of these are assets in community life. All work and no play, does not “go” very well in our Collegiate so these jolly times were sprinkled here and there by the Literary Society to add zest to what might otherwise have been a dull year. The old familiar yell, Ki-a-zippa, Ki-a-zippa, Ki-a-zippa, Zam Indian Head Collegiate, beat it if you can, Purple white, purple white 1, 2, 3. Knuckle to it, you can do it, I.H.C. ! Ya ! Ya ! Ya ! Bey ! Boom ! Ba ! Indian Head Collegiate, Ra ! Ra ! Ra ! rang its way through the months spur¬ ring every student on, and stirring up our feeling of loyalty and pride in the I. H.C. INITIATION OCT. 12 On Friday, Oct. 12, the Grade IX stu¬ dents were initiated into the mysteries of Collegiate life. This marked the first thrilling episode of their young careers
