TECH-ART RECORD -OFFICIAL STUDENTS ' YEAR BOOK OF THE- PROVINCIAL INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY AND ART Volume 9 - 1938-39 CALGARY, Alberta DEDICATION AS a token of the esteem in which he is held by the Staff and Students of this Institute, and in appreciation of his long and faithful service in the field of Technical Education in Canada, this volume is dedicated to IGtnMpy Untry Ipunrtt AN APPRECIATION By JAMES FOWLER HE time was July, 1916. The place was a large boulder in front of Athabasca Hall on the campus of the University of Alberta. Seated on the boulder and basking in the cheering rays of the Alberta sun was a man in the prime of life. He had auburn hair, a reddish moustache with sharp waxed points, and a fresh rosy complexion. His countenance showed poise, intelligence, friendliness. The crow’s feet at the corners of his eyes indicated a readiness to laughter. When he removed his pipe his whimsical mouth seemed equally ready to utter some deep philosophical truth or some devastating pun. The constant use of his hands to supple¬ ment his conversation conveyed the impression of energy, mobility, dynamic, and capacity for work. Such was Lindley H. Bennett as I first met him. Long years of intimate daily association have only served to increase the high regard in which I early learned to hold Mr. Bennett is probably the most cultured and versatile member of the Institute Staff, for only to a few individuals is given the capacity to become so proficient in such a variety of activities. Dur¬ ing a long professional career he has remained a keen student and a ready learner, yet withal he has been an outstanding teacher and has shown a remarkable ability to adapt his knowledge and experience to changing conditions in the educational field. This ability to adapt himself to new situations and to keep abreast of the times probably accounts for Mr. Bennett’s continued buoyancy of disposition and his freshness of outlook. As a teacher he is unique in being equally at home in the shop and in the classroom. His teaching is brilliant whether the subject be English, Woodworking, Pedagogy, Architec¬ ture, Drafting, Carving, Modelling, Art Appreciation, or many others. Fortunate indeed are the thousands of students who have been privileged to sit at his feet. From the experience of a ' full and abundant life Mr. Bennett brings to the classroom a warmth of human sympathy and understanding that is rare indeed. In addition he has been the guide, philosopher, and friend of countless teachers across the Dominion, so that it would be difficult to estimate the beneficient influence he has exerted on the development of practical education in Canada. Now his forty year term of enlistment in the service of Canada draws near its close. Soon will come the time for his release from the domination of time-tables and the insistence of class bells. But his wit, wisdom and whimsicality remain undiminished. He is just going to start to do the many things which for years he has wanted to do. We, his friends, his ex-students whose name is legion, wish him long years of health and happiness. To future generations of Tech, students we shall say: “No. You wouldn’t remember Mr. Bennett. What a pity. You don’t know what you’ve missed.” Page three MESSAGE FROM THE MINISTER OF EDUCATION 3 T is with much pleasure that I send this message for insertion in the Tech-Art Record. I do not know of any group that I would rather address than the student body of our Institute of Technology—those young men and women, who are preparing themselves for the battle of life. Having left behind the more or less carefree days of public school,they are now in a position to appreciate the toil and sacrifice of the generation before them, and with the determination character¬ istic of our Western pioneers, are going to carry the torch forward. We older people may only see the Promised Land but we hope that you will enter into it. I am expecting great things of Alberta in the years to come. How much of that greatness will be contributed by our technical school students, even history can only tell in part, but ' this we do know,—that there is no effort for the welfare of our neighbors or ourselves that is ever wasted. It is the accumulated efforts for the better things of life of the generations before us that has made the world of the present a better place in which to live. Those who are graduating this year, p articularly, may find some comfort in the foregoing when they find positions requiring their training hard to obtain, but who can tell what tomorrow will bring. So be of good cheer and continue to do your best to reach that goal worthy of your talents. WILLIAM ABERHART, Premier and Minister of Education. Page four A MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL will be seventeen years since the Institute of Technology and Art began its occupancy of the present building, and it is more than fifteen years since my personal contact began. During this period the Institute has had an interesting growth which reached its peak during that wonderful year of 1929 when more than 2,000 persons received service. In the years fol¬ lowing and to the present the personnel service maintained a fairly even keel, the up-swing setting in again during 1938. The current year is one of the best in the history of the school. The Institute has made for itself a permanent place in the educa¬ tional life of the province catering as it does to the requirements of young people preparing to enter practical tool-using careers. Nearly 75 per cent of the enrolment in the regular day classes register their homes as from outside Calgary. The average age of the students is 21 years and the average school grading on entering is Grade X. There has been an increasing number during the past few years coming in with a full Grade XII. One of the outstanding features of this school is the cordial relationship among its personnel both staff and students. Of this 1 am very proud in that it establishes a most favorable atmosphere most conducive to growth. The spirit of co-operation is of the highest and the way in which the students participate in the extra-curricular activities is to be highly commended. This spirit makes a good ' students’ association, a good orchestra, a good dramatic club, a good choral society, a good hockey team, a good ball league, a good year book, a good Iota club, a good banquet, a good field day, and a good school life. I am particularly jealous that this place offers only the best, that a high standard be maintained in all its interests and that anyone who attends its, classes may say that it has been well to have been here. I would like to thank members of the staff, and more particularly Mr. Fowler, for their splendid spirit of co-operation and would also like to include all students who have worked to make the year constructive. May I wish you all good and remunerative jobs, happy live s and the subtle satisfaction that comes from rendering some worthwhile service. I would not close without congratulating the Year Book Staff on this successful issue of their strenuous endeavors. W. G. CARPENTER, Principal. Page five THE STAFF 1. DR. W. G. CARPENTER, B.A., TJ..

This fact must in some measure explain the genuine enthusiasm with which Canada prepares for the Royal Visit.

Changes mark this issue as a memento of the Royal PAGING YOUTH “Youth, You Ake Challenged.” J N a few months many of us will be leaving this Institute for the last time. We will be going out to f ace the world — a hostile world. Our success or failure will depend entirely on the attitude with which we meet our difficulties. If it is with fear defeatism, helplessness, or indifference, we are foredoomed to failure! These are the demons which will irresistibly force us into a stagnant backwater in the river of life. If we meet our problems with con¬ fidence and courage, the world is at our feet. Let us resolve to adopt a philosophy of life which is consistent with success. There are those who would assert that great achievements re¬ quire the sagacity, experience, and conservatism of age. A glance at history will suffice to refute this argument. Napoleon conquered Italy before his twenty-fifth birthday; Pitt the Younger, was Prime Minister of England at the age of twenty-four; Lord Byron com¬ posed his greatest works while in his early thirties; Raphael was considered a genius while still in his ’teens; Mozart was recei ving the plaudits of the musical world when he was little more than a child In every field — Literature, Art, Music, Industry, Commerce, Politics youth has assumed a leading part. Of the many who have achieved success in later life there are fe y do not attribute their good fortune to the tenacity with which they held to youthful ambitions and ideals. They have held high the torch which was ignited in earlier years and it has helped them to bring their every endeavour to successful fruition. In the last decade words have been recklessly squandered in describing the problems of the time. Out of this melee one irrevoc- 5 to able fact stands clear - • hopes for the future c intelligent, unbiased, unfettered youth. It remains with r —d a just, happy, contented world-over the ruins of the past. The problems is ours — we must face it. The first requisite in the accomplishment of this task is trained men. It is the function of this Institute to provide at least the initial steps of this training. The importance of an institution of this kind must oe judged by the character of the individuals who pass through its doors. It is our duty to justify the existence of chosen 1 SCh °° ls by dls P la L ln g leadership in the fields which we have While we have not the experience of our elders it would be folly nf tfT 6 • The , va1 of hist0I T it teaches us the lessons of the past in order that we may apply them to the problems of profit by the mistakes of our an is old when he can learn nothing lesson from these words and “follow after ’ ’ and thereby ‘ ‘ drink from the fountain the designer, Harold knowledge like a sinking of perpetual youth. THE TECH-ART RECORD” STAFF E DIT ORIAL S T APP-4 waiter Barry itor-in-ChieJ. Hans H r« S Editor. -ZsT TTo L Byrne, Adverts S ' k. Stenographer A. Mr. A. A. Peebles, Start Representative. © F the many duties part and parcel of a Staff Representatives functions, paying tribute to the creators of the Tech-Art Record is the most pleasurable one. They have labored faith- and well for the Students’ Association. Times without number the Editor would have traded his heritage for a pair of roller-skates; again and again the Business Manager would have given his all for a scooter. Shoes wore out, tempers reached the boiling point, a harassed year book staff suffered myriad ills, from influenza to fallen arehes. But still the work went on. At last the Record comes to the point of completion. This is the crown¬ ing effort of their year, the royal visit of Achievement. The distinguishing mark of the polished performer is his ease and facility of execution, revealing little of years of painstaking and tedious study and practice. Likewise, the harmonious sequence of these pages little reveals the hours of labor, the time stolen from classes and leisure required to bring to fruition this year book. Preparing specifications, awarding contracts, selecting papers, designs and layouts, budgeting, and the other multitudinous tasks of publish¬ ing have been the experience of the staff. Arranging for the photo¬ graphs and biographies of students, photographing and describing a hundred and one student activities have been major undertakings in themselves. The soliciting of advertising, the canvassing of prospec¬ ti ve purchasers, have been wearisome time-consuming jobs. The following students have given generously of their time and energy in soliciting advertising and in selling the year book: D. Laycock; C. Horne; Eleanor Williamson; Joyce Watts; N. Hough¬ ton; J. Tuskey; G. Smith; Margaret Woody; Peggy Caswell; Thelma Rollag J. Kelly; H. Rodgers; ' G. Woods; C. McNeil; L. Northey; J. Wight; R. Larsen; A. Stevinson; R. Filipkowski; W. Caskey; R. States; G. Rowley; A. Leuhr; J. Whitham; R. Thomas. But for their labors the publication of this record would be financially im¬ possible. For their assistance in office work, in lay-out and make-up of pages, much credit is due to the following: J. Wight; J. Bundy; Peggy Caswell; Joyce Watts; Dixie Hogarth; Frances Vincent; S. Perrott; Maisie Dean; Constance Boese. For their advice and consideration thanks must be tendered to Mr. J. D. McAra, printer of the year book; to Mr. Bradford, of the Hicks Engraving Co.; to the Mayfair Studios; and to Mr. William Shepherd, who took the flash pictures of the banquet. To Mr. Peebles at the business helm of the enterprise goes the most sincere appreciation of the entire year book staff. But for his experience, and organizing, and directional skill, the task would have been well nigh insurmountable. R. E. BYRON, Staff Representative. Page nine THE WINTER TERM THE FALL TERM HE activities of the Fall Term Executive Committee came to a successful close when Tryg Massing was elected President. During the Fall all branches of the student activities were well attended. The members in charge of the different branches are to be congratulated for the splendid results which they achieved. The Social Chairman, E. Bennett, had a neat balance to swell the students’ funds even after several donations had been made to charit¬ able institutions. Keen interest was shown in the inter-class basket¬ ball and hoekey as arranged by the Sports Chairman, W. Downey. S. Morton, Literary Chairman, was successful in arranging pleasing Lits. as was evidenced by the large crowds that turned out every Wednesday afternoon. In particular, credit is due to Miss M. Mudie and to Miss M. Ticknor for the capable and efficient manner in which they filled the offices of Secretary and Treasurer respectively. In conclusion I wish to take this opportunity of thanking all members of the Staff, Executive, and Student Body for the whole¬ hearted support that was given to me during my term of office. NEIL LINDSAY, President for the Fall Term. ARAB WISDOM He that knows not, and knows not that he knows not — he is a fool. SHUN HIM, He that knows not, and knows that he knows not — he is good material. TEACH HIM. He that knows, and knows not that he knows — he is asleep. WAKE HIM. But he that knows, and knows that he knows — WATCH HIS PEOSPEEITY. A S is evidenced by the large turn-out of students, the Wednesday afternoon literary meetings are successfully holding the interest of the major portion of the student body. The splendid co-operation of the students, executive, and Staff has made the duties of President an honor and a pleasure. I would like to commend the executive on the very capable and enthusiastic manner in which they filled their respective positions. The Banquet, which was the outstanding social event of the year, was well attended, and the Banquet Committee is to be congratulated for the organization of such a successful evening. Keen interest was shown in the various school activities through¬ out the term. Hoekey, basketball, and badminton were outstanding in the field of sport. Although the Shooting Club was late in getting started it promises to become very popular during the rest of the term. The play, “Broken Dishes,’’ presented by the Dramatic Club, with intermission music supplied by the Tech. Orchestra, was of a high standard and worthy of special comment. The Choral Society, founded this year, offers a splendid opportunity for those interested in voice culture. From the interest shown, its future success seems to be assured. The Tech, dances have been characterized by their large crowds and excellent music and they are much enjoyed by the majority of Tech, students. The Presidency of the Students’ Association offered a new field of experience to me, but I have found my duties enjoyable and edu¬ cational. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all those with whom I have been associated for their splendid co-operation, which has made this term so successful. I trust that this attitude will be extended to the President who will be elected for the coming TEYG MASSING, President for the Winter Term. TAKEN ATOM BY ATOM OR AS A WHOLE OO often we are apt to consider the world about us as a very disorderly, haphazard arrangement, entirely lacking in design. A glance at the scientific facts listed below may serve to dispel this somewhat erroneous opinion. A cubic centimetre of steam at normal temperature and pressure contains about twenty-seven millions of millions of molecules. Each molecule is composed of three atoms, two of hydrogen and one of oxygen. Each atom contains a great number of electrons and pro¬ tons; an electron having a diameter of about one hundred-thousandth of an atom, and a proton about one two-thousandth of an electron. In order to form a better conception of what this means, let us draw a mental picture of a cubic centimetre of steam in which the proton is magnified to the size of a grain of fine sand, or about one- fiftieth of an inch in diameter. The electron would then have a diameter of slightly less than one-third of an inch. The atom would be magnified to a sphere sixteen inches in diameter and the diameter Faye ten of the molecule would be approximately twice this long. Each mole¬ cule would be about thirteen diameters from its nearest neighbor. Our magnified cubic centimetre of steam, therefore, would contain twenty-seven millions of millions of molecules each thirty-two inches in diameter, and four hundred and sixteen inches apart. The cube would be three million molecules in length, three million molecules in width, and three million molecules in height. The edge of the cube would measure twenty-one thousand two hundred and twelve miles in length, and the volume would be nine and a half millions of millions of cubic miles. Thus if the proton was magnified to the size of a grain of fine sand the cubic centimetre would be magnified to a cube with a volume of more than thirty-six times that of the earth. We sight this as an example of the intricate order and design in the realm of the infinitely small. Each of the commonplace things about us might be analysed in a similar way.

THE EMERY WEAL HE EMERY WEAL, the bi-weekly paper of the Institute, has established a number of precedents this year. The most noticeable change is that the paper has been printed instead of being mimeographed. The extra cost of this method made it necessary to sell the paper for five cents a copy. The students seem to have survived the drain on their pocketbooks. The paper has had some novel ideas in, the way of features. ‘ ‘ The Observer Observes, ’ ’ dealing with the adventures of a fictitious student, Horace B. Bushby, has met with considerable favor among the readers. The “Low Down,” a comment on school life from the feminine viewpoint, has justified the long hours of toil spent on it. The Staff Representative, Mr. D. C. Jones, the sub-editors, managers, stenographers, and cartoonists are to be congratulated on their strenuous efforts to make each issue better than the last. The hardship of creating the best in literature in time for publication has left them practically exhausted, but still willing to carry on. The Editors-in-Chief, living up to the traditions of the press, have Page twelve spent their time wearing out the concrete floor in Room 5, expostulat¬ ing and worrying, but of course doing little work. There have, of course, been complaints about errors in judgment but the Emery Weal Staff has done all in its power to soothe the complainants, and correct the errors. On the whole we feel that the student body has appreciated our efforts, and, therefore, that the paper has been a success. Discipline is the method of making difficult things a habit. Some people grow under responsibility—others merely swell. Mr. Fowler: “In spite of the fact that excuses cannot be patented, Tech, students continue to invent them. 1 Jumping at conclusions is about the only exercise some people AERONAUTICAL DEPARTMENT HIS year, for the first time, the Aero. Department enjoys the unique distinction of a course lasting for ten months. Thus, for a period of eight weeks, the Institute and all therein con¬ tained is in the undisputed possession of this privileged group. When the time comes, as soon it will, for all other classes to disperse to the four winds, the Aeros. will remain to keep the flag flyino; on the eastern tower. The extra four months have been added to the two-year course in order to allow time for the inclusion of machine shop, welding and sheet-metal work as parts of the regular course and to permit of the extension of the mathematical-work into the Calculus and some of its important applications. As a result of this enlargement of the course, the Civii Aviation Division of the Department of Transport, Ottawa, recognize the aeronautical training offered by the Institute as equivalent to a year of experience in their assessment of the qualifications of candidates for air engineers’ certificates. In this respect also the Aero. Department is unique, as it is the only school of aeronautics in Canada to which the Dominion Government has ex¬ tended this recognition. With a enrollment of seventy-three students, the Department this year ranks as one of the largest in the Institute, and there has never before been so much and such variety of work in the shops. At the moment five machines are being built or rebuilt, or are undergoing extensive repairs, while a sixth has been completed and taken out. Alongside the big five-place Boeing transport stands the little toy- like Heath Monoplane, with the Karikeens, the Pietenpol and the D.H. Moth between these two extremes. There is also outside work in the engine shop, but we could do with more to keep the active and industrious Second Year students at full stretch. In the field of sport the Aeros. are again in the lead. After being runners-up last year, the Aero. II. team made ho mistake this year about the Hockey Cup. They swamped all rivals to win it. At the Field Day sports last spring the Aeros. tied with the Elec¬ tricals for the Athletic Cup, having won it in each of the two previous years. In conclusion may I say, to those who will be leaving in June, “Good luck! May you enjoy the success for which you have worked so sincerely and so well;’’ and to those who will ,be returing again next year to complete their course, ‘ ‘ So long A. A. PEEBLES, .

THE FEEL OF PDWER By Jim McGinness TT IIERE is an ufiusual stir in the Aero shop. Hasty glances are directed from jobs towards the new engine stand, on which the Wright Wirlwind, J-5, is being mounted for testing. Everyone wants to see it start, see it run, operate the throttle and other con¬ trols, just to feel the power that the roaring engine gives. The J-5 is an interest in that shop, perhaps because it is the most modern engine in the shop, perhaps because it is practically new or because it is the largest radial type at Tech. People like to see a radial operate. They come to look and wonder how this wonderful piece of engineering was brought about. The Aeros have looked inside and still they find it interesting. The throb of power output of those nine rhdial, air-cooled cylinders is music to the ears of an Aero. The new engine test stand, the new engine, the shining metal propeller, all have a great attraction. The prop, is turned. The cry, “contract,” and the answer, “contact,” holds a tension in everyone. There is a “pop,” a “bang,” and it starts with a roar, everybody breaths more easily as the engine roars on, a steady pene¬ trating throb of power, inspiring, calling, answering questions long ago asked: our modern aircraft engine today, the engine of perfec¬ tion and power. “To err is human, but to keep it up is foolish.” —Thackeray. A TIMELY TOPIC These Late Excuses have been complied as a guide for future Techites: ‘ ‘ Street car was passing 10th Street and I had to wait to let it go by. ’ ’ “Slipped back twice trying to climb the hill on the front approach. ’ ’ “Failure of portly pedestrian to give me half the sidewalk after coughing twice to warn him of my speedy approach.” “Neglected to allow for longitudinal expansion due to an over¬ night Chinook.” 1 ‘ Landlady miscounted and supplied an extra piece of toast. ’ ’ May the above stand all needy ones in good stead. For myself, I scorn to be so superficial and prefer to following technique: “I was late because I arrived after the last bell had gone.” (Don’t ask me where it had gone as that is your responsibility.) This excuse is not usually well received so I have evolved a few more ob¬ servations which when viewed as a whole deceive everyone into think¬ ing that I am not merely lepeating the fact that I was late because I was late. So I add, ‘ ‘ Because I left mv lodgings later that usual ’ ’ If I think someone will still say “Why?” I add, “Because I got up later than usual.” Three “whys” come easily to an instructor, so I add, “Because I retired later than usual.” That usually finishes the “Why” business. If it doesn’t I have at least reached a point from whieh I can “Because” my way back to where one of the “Why” party is to blame. I have then reached a logical conclusion and can silence them forever by saying, “Why did you slip up there?” Page sixteen AERD 2 J. A.

Smith lVt UIET simplicity is the expression of a strong, courageous spirit. llJ The oue who has something to say, that needs saying, speaks in clear terms. He has lived with an idea, thought it through o its simplest terms, and has felt the power of truth stir within ,i m . He understands that power needs no bolstering, and allows t the dignity of forthright expression. Quiet manners are the indication of a serene mind, controlled and directed by a cultivated intelligence. Greatness never has to lift Youth needs to learn simplicity. Direct and candid by nature, the young people readily understand candor of speech and action. When they turn from the simple ways and copy the futile fussiness of their frightened elders it is because they have caught the fear that drives men into hiding. If they lose their first, open, generous candor it is not because they would choose to lose it. They have lost their way among the clutter which has been thrown into their lives. It is time that we claimed the dignity of manhood and womanhood secure in our own right. The time is here when each of us must declare for the simplicity of the human spirit, for its freedom from the unessentials. YES, WHY NDT THINK? It’s a little thing to do; Just to think. Anyone, no matter who, Ought to think. Take a little time each day From the minutes thrown away, Spare it from you work or play, Stop and think. You will find that we who fail Do not think. Men who find themselves in jail Do not think. Half the trouble that we see, Trouble brewed for you and me, Probably would never be If we’d think. Shall we journey hit-or-miss, Or shall we think? Let’s not go along by guess, But rather to ourselves confess It would help us more or less If we’d think. Youth is the time to study wisdom; Old age is the time to practise it. — Rousseau. Page nineteen THE ANNUAL BANQUET HE week prior to the banquet marked a period of tense expect¬ ancy and excitement throughout the entire school. “Tech. Banquet” was a very hackneyed expression by the end of the week. By 6:25 p.m. the rotunda of the Palliser Hotel was crowded with merry Tech, students bedecked in their finest toggery. Before long the doors of the main ballroom were opened and with surprisingly little confusion the students found their places. During the banquet meal, classes rose in a body, time after time, to give vent to their spirits in hearty class yells. The Motor group gave the best account of themselves in this department. As usual, Mr. Fowler filled the position of Toastmaster. The pleasant manner in which he introduced the speakers was usually to the embarrassment of the Staff but of course to the high glee of the assembled students. This year the Banquet Committee was fortunate in securing Mr. H. P. Wright, formerly a Staff member and now a master-farmer, to deliver an inspirational address. His remarks regarding human¬ itarian and scientific discoveries left the students with food for serious thought. The address by our Principal, Dr. Carpenter, dealt with the statistics relating to the present school year. He sounded a note of optimism as he reviewed the increased enrollment and the greater variety of courses offered. Mr. T. Massing, the President of the Students’ Association pro¬ posed the toast to the Staff. In a few well chosen words he expressed the respect and friendship which the student body has for its in¬ structors. Mr. Fleming replied, recounting some of the pecularities of the Staff, much to the delight of the students. Other items on the program included community singing, led by Claude Roberts; selections by the Symphony Orchestra, the Choral Society, and the Composite Trio; and piano-accordian selections by Mr. Stan. James. The program was closed by the singing of “Auld Lang Syne.” The remainder of the evening was devoted to dancing to the music of Jerry Fuller and his orchestra. Much credit is due to H. Yerkerk and his committee of willing workers for making this event such an outstanding success. ART DEPARTMENT A S the centre for the fostering of art-consciousness in the Province, the Art Department continues the work of develop¬ ing the artistic talent of young Albertans. The registration both in the first and second year has been about the same as last year. The best of last year’s beginners returned for a seeond term and with them a number of talented third year students. The work of the more advanced students is, as before, highly individual and has produced a very varied assortment of work, including: illustra¬ tions, posters, oil paintings, mural panels, batik, leather work, and modelling. Anne Jusypink has been given a free trip to the New York World’s Fair on the strength of some of her work which was seen by a well-known film producer. J. S. Perrott has done a poster for the Banff School of Fine Arts, which will be held in August. The poster will be lithographed and displayed throughout the Dominion. Good luck to these promising students! We have been hearing a good deal this year from former students who have gone farther afield. Miss Betty Carlyle, after getting a thorough ground work with us, is doing advanced work at the Slade School in England. Miss Myrtle Jackson is making a name for herself in Vancouver. From New York comes word that Miss Jorgens, who is on a year’s leave of absence from the Staff, has won a prize for a decoration to be shown at the World’s Fair. The evening class has been conducted on Mondays and Wednes¬ days, with a good attendance throughout the winter. The life class has been the main attraction of the evening classes, and much ex¬ cellent drawing has resulted. A langscape class is being conducted during the spring months, including Saturday afternoon periods, which will bring to a close a very successful year’s work. Page twenty-c AR- E. M.

Phyllis Taylor TOLLOWiNG the Hallowe’en Party at which ilrst and second JJ] year girls of the Institute became better acquainted, a meeting was held for the purpose of reorganizing the Iota Club for 1938-39. This took the form of a tea followed by a business meeting. The following officers were elected: Honorary President . President. Vice-President . Secretary . Treasurer . Educational Convenor Social Convenor. Athletic Convenor .... . . Miss C. E. Smith . Helen Mudie . Phyllis Taylor . Thelma Rollag . Edith Jones . Alice Schmidt . Eleanor Williamson .Peggy Craig The social activities of the club have taken the form of skating parties followed by dancing and refreshments. A dance was held m the Assembly Hall on March 10, to raise funds to help pay for the piano which was purchased for the use of the members. The club is making plans for the annual party which will be the closing event of the year. This year the members supported enthusiastically, many varied programs. Mrs. J. K. Penley, of the Penley Dancing Academy, agreed, once again, to address the first meeting on “Ballroom Etiquette,’’ “Technique of Modelling,” and “Posture.” Miss M Fawdry, the well-known photographer, traced the history of this work from the earliest times up to the present. Those who were privileged to hear Mis Fawdry felt that a very profitable evening had been spent. The tour of the Albertan Publishing Company proved in¬ teresting and educational. The interest in the meetings of the club has been demonstrated by the large number of members who attended. We trust that as time permits, other successful meetings will be held. The girls are particularly grateful to Miss Smith for her con¬ tinued interest in this activity.

These are memories which many of our students will take with them when they complete their work this year; two years of friendship and experience with a background of all they have put into the doing of things well, they go bravely into the world to face the problems of life. The students in the senior year have worked hard mid have accomplished much in their chosen field. They have played leading parts or co-operated in social activities and we anticipate great things from them in the future. The class of ’38 is well upholding the traditions of the past and we hope to see many of the students back next year. They are eager and able to carry heavy loads for many of them have finished High School and some have had a taste of the business world. They too have entered enthusiastically into social and group activities. We appreciate the fine co-operation we have had with the busi¬ ness houses of the city. Many of our ex-students have been accepted to fill full or part-time positions in stores and manufacturing plants. When you, our students of ’37 leave your classes for the last time, may you be able to say we have helped you in at least three ways. One is how to make a living. The second is how to live properly in relation to your fellow men. The third is how to enjoy doing the first two. MISS 0. E. SMITH, Department Head.

Thomas Have you never heard the trill of a bird In the top of a maple tree, When snow streams run from the heat of the sun, And Chinooks are blowing free ? Have you seen the crow wing over the snow As he journeys up from the south; Or heard with a shiver the wailing quiver Prom a skulking coyote’s mouth? Page twenty-eight When pussy willows are waving billows Tossing their mantles of white, And the crocus’ bloom like a spinner’s loom Is weaving a tapestry bright, Then the robins appear with their song of cheer To build a home of love, And we joyfully sing: “Here comes the Spring!” As we thank the God above.

Page twenty-nine Page thirty THE LITERARY PROGRAMS TTHE first term Literary competition set a new high in school 1|L entertainment. The Composites were successful in winning the cup, but only by a narrow margin. All agree, however that the originality and variety of their program was deserving of first place. The Motor group placed second in this competition by reason of a program of high literary quality. They showed a marked improve¬ ment over last year. The many complimentary remarks passed about the Dressmakers Lit. testify of a very pleasing program. Aero pre¬ sented a splendid variety program. The Electrics will long be remem¬ bered for their original presentation of “Romeo and Juliet.” The Art class, who unfortunately were required to give the first presenta¬ tion, made good use of the short time at their disposal to prepare a Lit. which was very well received. The Winter Term Lits. showed improvement in almost every class. The Composites were again successful in winning the cup but they were hard pressed by the Farm Construction class, who for the first time were presenting a program as an independent group. Greater variety in methods of presentation and in material was shown during this term. Worthy of special mention in this respect are the radio program of the Dressmakers; and the quiz contest staged by the Motors, who used the Dressmakers as worthy opposition. The student body ones a debt of gratitude to Miss A. Veenen- daal, Mr. N. Safran, and Mr. D. C. Jones, who acted as judges for the Fall Term; and to Miss M. Miller, Mr. R. E. Byron and Mr. N. Safran, for similar assistance during the Winter Term. THE SHOOTING CLUB HOOTING got away to from the number who a: progress. The club has history. a late start this year, but, to judge re attending, it is now T making rapid now the largest membership in its Four new Savage sporting rifles equipped with aperture sights were purchased at the beginning of the season. The system of target lighting has been greatly improved. These two factors have resulted in much better marksmanship. The club, which is under the direction of Mr. Wagner, meets every Wednesday and Friday from 7:30 to 10:00 p.m. A silver spoon is given for the highest score in every 350 rounds. Only one spoon has been awarded so far this year. Karl Riep won this award with a score of 99 out of a possible 100. We hope that many more members will attain this degree of accuracy before the season is over. There has been an increase in the number of lady members and they have achieved very good results. The highest lady’s score was hung up by Marion Koch. Arrangements are being made to join the Dominion Marksman¬ ship Association. This should make for keener competition among the members. The members next year are assured of a perfect season, with the new rifles just nicely broken in. ELECTRICAL DEPARTMENT HEBE are few superlatives applicable to the Electrical Depart¬ ment this year. It is not the largest class in the school, nevertheless it is large enough to be a leading factor in most of the activities. It has had the honor to provide two presidents of the association—one husky, the other “Massive.” It did not produce the manager of the Banquet, but when the smoke of battle cleared away, the ‘ ‘ Sons of Edison ’ ’ knew where a goodly portion of the turkey “had went.” The electricians’ voices may lack the booming erescendo claimed by other classes, but those of the radio section working at night have transmitted vocal records far beyond the boundaries of this fair Dominion. The same old staff is still guiding the intra-curricular activities of the department, and though showing more silver hairs among the gold, one is still Young, and all are dynamic, radiant and magnetic. Their potential energy induces the smooth functioning of the many lights to whom they are connected —• may the fuses never blow. In a word the Class of ’39 are a solid type that will leave their im¬ pression on the staff and on their fellow students for many years to come. It has been good to work with them, and those members of the staff most intimately associated with them expect them to go far in their chosen profession. Soon the work of the year will be concluded; the examinations will have been written and marks awarded to suggest that a modicum of lore will be borne away. There is one prize that no cold per¬ centage can indicate, no diploma reveal — the true friends that each has ma de. In this section of the varied, and I hope profitable ex¬ periences of the year, I feel that the general good fellowship gives promise of a bountiful harvest. E. N. RHODES, Chief Instructor.

Employment was found in their chosen field by all the third year group. The present graduating group of students in this department, I believe, may look forward with confidence to a con tinuation of satisfactory conditions and a reasonable certainty of employment. I hold this opinion because of a more widespread prosperity due to last year’s crop conditions, and recent reports of busy repair shops at many country points. Employers have engaged a number of third year students this spring. They have come to the Institute because they were attracted by the satisfactory performance of ex-students in the realm of Automotive service, and whose excellence they had observed suggested the desirability of such an employee. One ex¬ student, now in business for himself, came to the Institute about the end of February to find a man to add to his staff of mechanics. The student of Motor Mechanics who has Grade Eleven or Twelve, who learns easily, and likes car repairing work would do well to give thought to continuing his education after finishing Tech, by taking university work in engineering, preferably continuing at the work of car repairing during the summers and attending univers¬ ity during the winters. Men with the background of experience and training indicated in the foregoing paragraph would have a good chance of securing employment with the automobile manufacturing and distributing con¬ cerns, with excellent prospects for advancement. Students applying for jobs, in my opinion, should give some thought to selling their services. They should cultivate an attitude of quiet confidence, be businesslike, and radiate a willingness to work, avoiding argument and over-assertiveness. The individual would do well, in many cases in making applica¬ tion, not to be specific in respect to the rate of pay at the outset, but rather secure the opportunity and an agreement that when established as an acceptable employee regular salary increases spread over a considerable period of time will be forthcoming. The thoughts above expressed are coupled with the best wishes for all students of the Department of Motor Mechanics and the Institute at large. I have every confidence in your ultimate success, if you pursue, and keep ever before you as a motto, the words on the triangle of The Institute Crest. C. A. CHOATE, Chief Instructor.

Julson Success is speaking words of praise, In cheering other people’s ways; In doing just the best you can With every task and every plan. It’s silence when your speech would hurt, Politeness when your neighbor’s curt; It’s deafness when the scandal flows, And sympathy with other’s woes. It’s loyalty when duty calls, It’s courage when disaster falls, It’s patienee when the hours are long, It’s found in laughter and in song.

I The Christmas dance attracted the largest crowd of the year. Mb-izes, decorations and novelties added color and a Y uletide atmos- Sdiere to the festivities.

Hopes to become a test driver for General Motors Corporation TECHNICALLY SPEAKING By Harold Cassan 3 F you frequent the third floor you are apt to be “ framed ’ ’ by some Art student who has ‘ ‘ designs ’ ’ on you. On the second floor beware lest the Dressmakers “hem” you in and tell you what a cute little “sew and sew” you are. In the Electrical shop you may be “shocked” by “bare wires.” Tread softly in Battery and Ignition or you’ll be “charged” for being there while if you venture into the Welding class they’ll make a “torch-bearer” of you. If you more than glance into Motor Department they ’ll ‘ ‘ overhaul ’ ’ you, so scram down to the Tractor room but beware of the ‘ 1 cats. ’ ’ Machine Shoppers will “turn you down” so ignor them. Step out to the Blacksmith shop and witness some legal “forgery,” but don’t lose your ‘ ‘ temper ’ ’ if they make it hot for you. Peek in at the Modelling Boom but be ready to duck because they will be busy ‘ ‘ throwing pots. ’ ’ Don’t give the Aeros a second glance or they will ‘ ‘ take you up. ’ ’ The Drafting Department will be pleased to ‘ ‘ draw up plans ’ ’ for you, but tell them you must hurry on to “ tune-in ’ ’ at the Radio Room or to talk “shop” with General Shop. VALUE OF A SMILE The thing that goes the farthest toward making life worth while, That costs the least and does the most, is just a pleasant smile. The smile that bubbles from a heart that loves its fellow-men. Will drive away the cloud of gloom and coax the sun again. It’s full of worth and goodness, too, with many a kindness blent. It’s worth a million dollars and it doesn’t cost a cent. There is no room for sadness when we see a cheery smile. It always has the same good look — it’s never out of style. It nerves us on to try again when failure makes us blue. The dimples of encouragement are good for pie and you. It pays a higher interest, for its merely lent — It’s worth a million dollars and it doesn’t cost a cent. A smile comes very easy — you can wrinkle up with cheer, A hundred times before you can squeeze a soggy tear. It ripples out, moreover, to the heartstrings that will tug. And always leaves an echo that is very like a hug. So smile away, Folks, understand what by a smile is meant — It’s worth a million dollars and it doesn’t cost a cent. A JUNGLE TALE Along came a big she-elephant trudging through the deep, deep jungle of the darkest Africa, when presto! she heedlessly stepped on a mamma partridge just a few inches from the nest of the little partridges. The kind-hearted she-elephant saw what she had done, and, having babies of her own who sometimes felt very cold, she felt very sorry for the little birds and sat down over the nest to keep CLOSE SHAVE Bundy: “Well it is like this — I wouldn’t have parted with that moustaehe for anything but you know how crowded it is at my boarding house. This morning five of us were shaving in front of the same mirror at the one time, and somebody shaved my face by mistake. I wouldn’t have noticed at the time but when I saw my razor draw blood without me feeling it I knew something was wrong. ’ ’ Page forty-three MDTDR 3 J. O.

Page forty-five TD THOSE WHO GO, FROM THOSE WHO STAY By F. G. Young 3 N a few weeks the Institute will be closed for most of the Winter courses and you will be leaving for many points in Western Canada. Some of you, having completed your courses, will leave to return only for those brief visits to the School that we all hope will be part of your program while in Calgary. You are leaving with high hopes that you may be given the chance of putting to use the training that you have received here. May realization of these hopes be even greater than your expectations! The buildings will take on a rather deserted appearance. Street cars will begin to run on schedule, ailing mothers will rapidly re¬ cover, alarm clocks will start to function as they should and autos will start in the morning with renewed vigor, for there will no longer be need for excuses for lateness and absence. The halls will no longer echo to the sweet nothings of gallant Don Juans and fair Cleopatras and the bells will cease their constant summons to class. But there are those who remain, those who see this exodus of students year after year. In a different manner, the staff is affected by your departure. You may think that their reactions to you is something like that of the workman watching a car leave the assembly line of a large factory. But such is not the case. Before the advent of the machine, the craftsman had a very definite interest in his product. In many cases he would refuse to part with his creation unless he was assured that it would be used by one who recognized its worth. In somewhat the same manner the instructor follows the future of the student and perhaps has greater hopes for his future than the one leaving has for himself. For the teacher feels that, like the craftsman, he has been able to help fashion the learner’s po-wers In order that he may meet the tasks of the world with better advantage. What have the Instructors been trying to do during your stay at the Institute ? In the first place they hope that you have developed some skills with your hands or that you have been led to see that the particular work that you have been attempting is not suited to your abilities. You are not now masters of your trades, you are not finished workmen, but you have been given the foundation on which it is hoped you will have the opportunity to build in the future. You may think that you have been a failure, but perhaps you have been attempting the wrong course. You are quite capable of doing something else and your stay here may have taught you that. Although you proved to be unsuited as a motor mechanic, you may have qualities that are needed for a good car salesman. There is the hope that you have realized the necessity of having some knowledge of the “Why” as well as of the “How.” To advance in skill requires a background of theory, otherwise one goes on doing the same old thing somewhat as is done by the trained bear. Perhaps you have seen the need for the reading of your trade journals in order that you may keep up-to-date. You may have learned that it is not necessary to try to remember everything bu t to get the habit of looking up reference material and to keep a record Page forty-six of those items of interest that you have run across so that they may be available later. Through the various student activities it is hoped that you have made use of the opportunities offered to gain confidence in working with your fellow students. Although your future in your chosen occupation is of vital importance, much of your success will depend on the manner in which you can work and co-operate with other people. Perhaps this has been developed in your participation in some team sport. There you all realize one must have team play, and the individual star does not make the team. So is it true in industry; the business is a success to that extent that all employed, from the president down to the latest hired workman, work as a team. Through such activities as dramatics, the Association and others that lend themselves to oral expression, you have been given the chance to overcome that natural shyness that sometimes hampers one in giving a prospective employer a good impression of one’s abilities. You will have to sell yourself to industry just as a salesman has to sell his goods. You may haive a good line of merchandise, that is your own talents and training, but unless you can present this to one who may want your services so that he may realize your worth, you may have to “peddle” your wares for some time before you can become established. Both in your studies and in your other activities, you have been given many jobs to do. Some of these have been pleasant and in¬ teresting, some have been unpleasant and very tiring. It is hoped that you have learned to do these with equal diligence and have realized that when a task is once attempted, it must be completed and that you must be reliable in whatever you are given to do. You have been given the opportunity to meet your fellow students in the various social events of the Institute. Perhaps you have had some active part to play in the planning of these. Often the ability to mix socially with others, plays an important part in a person’s success. There are certain courtesies that must be remem¬ bered and thoughtlessness in regards these may sometimes hinder one’s promotion in business. In a nut shell, it is hoped that your stay at the Institute has helped you to develop yourself in order that you may fit in that much better in your environment. No school can put anything into you, but it can train the talents that are yours before you come within its influence. The farmer cannot put life into the wheat seed but he can prepare the soil so that the plant gets a chance to grow. After that, the plant has to take care of itself. We who remain behind do not look upon you as so many sausages going from the sausage grinder, but your future careers are of great interest to us. We hope that you will remember this and let us know how you are getting along after you leave us. Perhaps the greatest compensation the Institute has is the word from some former student that he is making out well and has been able to make use of the time spent with us to the extent that we hope for you. So from those of us who remain, to those of you who are leaving, is given the old 11 Good luck! and we ’ll be seeing you. ’ ’ TRACTDR AND FARM CONSTRUCTION HROUGHOUT the years gone by, the Tractor and Farm Machinery Department of the Institute has had a varied ex¬ perience. From 1920 until 1929 we witnessed a gradual growth until a term enrollment of 425 students was reached. In 1932 the classes were discontinued. Again in 1935 a Diesel class was started as a result of con¬ siderable demand for this class of training. Two years later the Farm Construction class was re-opened. In the fall of 1938 the Tractor class was reorganized. The total enrolftnent of the three groups is now over 130 students. Possibly no other classes in this institution are affected by crop conditions as is this department. The ability and progress of this year’s students are about the average of the students of past years. We would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the splendid co-operation of the Tractor and Implement Dealers of this city in keeping us supplied with suitable material to aid in this type of education.

Page fifty-three EVENING HE evening classes of the Institute have been an important part of its work during most of its existence. These classes offer the physical equipment of the buildings and the technical equip¬ ment of the staff for the use of people who are unable to attend for instruction during the day. The primary purpose of evening classes in technology is to balance the techne, or art, with the logos, or science—to give the “practical” man some basic science and the “theoretical” man some basic practice. Apprentices and other learners have always derived great benefit from this complementary work. By means of these classes, some men who have been confined to one narrow phase of their work are enabled to get broader knowledge and experience and thus become more generally useful; other men who have changed jobs too often to know any part of their work thoroughly, get an opportunity to study some fundamental things intensively and thus make themselves more efficient. Evening classes have, therefore, great value as a supplement to industrial experience. The classes are also attended by some people who desire to change their present occupation. They are enabled to get an insight into the requirements of another line of work and consider their fitness for it. CLASSES Some people attend evening classes for their recreational value ! and for the means they present for gaining information or skill that j may be used in following hobbies or other avoeational activities. Eaeh of the purposes mentioned is met by one or more of the classes in operation this year—some of the classes meeting several j needs. Practical shop experience has been offered in aeroplane con- I struction, automobile work, machine shop work, welding, dressmaking, | mechanical drafting, showcard writing, freehand drawing and paint- 1 ing, and elementary arts and crafts. Lectures and demonstrations 1 have been given in oil chemistry, aeronautics, auto mechanics, radio ■ work, and photography. Two hundred and thirty-five people have taken advantage of I the classes: most of them attended two nights a week for two hours a each night during five months. This sustained interest in techno- 1 logical instruction provides largely for a better individual adjustment j to life and represents a valuable service in the promotion of general 1 efficiency in the community. L. H. BENNETT, Director of Evening Classes, a BOOKS THJ ALLAH did not exaggerate when he called the “art of printing from movable type the most important discovery in the annals of mankind.” Books form such an important factor in our lives, exert such a powerful influence for good or evil, that it is impossible to imagine the condition of society without them. So im¬ portant is the subject that we will risk the commonplace and deal with a topic which has intrigued the pens of Bacon, Macaulay, Carlyle, and Buskin. As space prohibits an exhaustive study of literature, we will be content to state a few thoughts which may be of assistance in the selection of good fiction. The primary purpose of fiction is to entertain. It follows, there¬ fore, without discounting the value of the intellectual and artistic qualities, that the emotional qualities of a novel are of first import¬ ance. It is for us to determine what emotional qualities are desirable in fiction. No novel is good unless it does good. Begardless of brilliant 1 style, balanced phrases, choice diction, or perfect rhetoric, a book j is bad if it is subversive of morals, or if it portrays evil in alluring j colors. No novel is truly great unless it stirs the imagination and fl instils thoughts and emotions worth entertaining This is the first 1 and surest test of fiction. Too many of us enjoy books only if they are light and giddy. 9 It is true that a book is usually more pleasing if it leaves an im- 9 pression of sunshine than if it breathes the gloomy atmosphere of 1 the tomb. This does not mean, however, that melancholy thoughts 1 may not sometimes be very beautiful. In good fiction the “goddess 1 sage and holy” goes hand in hand with the “goddess fair and free.” 9 For every good, worth-while novel there are many that are bad, j shoddy, and worthless. We must, therefore, train ourselves to reject 3 the dross and select only the pure good of our literature. It is only ] by recognition and appreciation of the best in our language that j we can hope to attain a higher standard of literary excellence. □ UR ADVERTISERS VGAIN we have been fortunate in securing advertisements from most reliable firms — firms with a reputation second to none. A .We feel that by this section we are accomplishing a twofold service. We offer a service to our advertisers in bringing w their products to the attention of a large body of students; and secondly we inform these students where they can buy with confidence. Aside from this, a large fraction of the cost of this publication is defrayed due to the continued good-will of these firms. They made it possible for us to produce a bigger and better book for your enjoyment. We ask you therefore, to list these names in your minds, and resolve to support the firms who have contributed to the success of this book. Let these advertisements be your guiding stars when ' you buy.

Each year, on very short notice, Coach Art Alexander, must gather together the basketball talent of the school and weld them into a team. Only one week after the organization meeting, Tech, was playing its first game in the Men’s Senior City League. Although the Tech, team started at the bottom, by strenuous practice they succeeded in winning the last two games of the six played in this league. The last was against the previously un¬ defeated Y.M.C.A. team. During the time which elapsed between the close of the league and the play-offs, Tech, defeated the Olds Agricultural School at Olds, and the “Adanacs,” a local team, at Tech. There was much consultation regarding the advisability of amalgamating with the Normal School team to enter the Senior play¬ offs. It was finally decided that we remain independent and enter the Intermediate play-offs. Whether or not this was a good move is doubtful, as Tech, was not successful in winning even a single game in the latter competition. As many of the players on the team were First Year students Tech, will, no doubt, be able to present a much improved club next year, for it takes a season for the players to become accustomed to each other’s style of play. Much of the success of the 1938-39 basketball team is due to the able coaching by Art Alexander and to Mr. Choate’s manage¬ ment of the team. Mention should also be made of the student body, who, although not always rooting for the winning team, gave their most loyal support. THE DRAMATIC CLUB J THIS is the fifth consecutive year in which there has been a Dramatic Club organized at Tech. Since its inception the activities of this group have been under the able direction of Mr. F. S. Dyke. The scenery which had served the club for the last four years was found to be beyond repair, and it was decided to replace it. This involved considerable work, but thanks to our stage manager, Einar Farvolden, we now have some excellent scenery to pass on to next year’s club. When the club was organized in October it was decided to present a three-act play. A comedy was chosen, entitled, “Broken Dishes,” by Martin Flavin. Some parts proved to be very heavy and consequently it required more rehearsals than were anticipated. The final production on February tenth was very successful. It was proclaimed to be one of the most suitable plays ever staged by the Three short plays, “The Man in the Bowler Hat,” “What It May Come To,” and “Elegant Edward” are now in rehearsal. It is planned to present these plays some evening near the end of The aim of the Dramatic Club has not been so much to provide entertainment for others as it has been to teach the club members the fundamentals of voice control, stance, timing, and other phases of the Dramatic Art. Due to the measure of success which we have enjoyed we antici¬ pate an increased interest in this work next year. THE BADMINTON CLUB INTER-CLASS BASKETBALL ® USING the Fall Term the Inter-Class Basketball honors went to the Composite team. They were undefeated during the entire league. Their closest rivals were the Electrics. The Spring Term inter-class basketball is now under way. Already the Electrics have gained revenge for former defeats They gave the Composites their first trimming of the year. This com¬ petition will be finished in play-off style with the second and third teams meeting in a “sudden death” match for the right to meet the first team in a “best of three” series. President . Henry Verkfrk Secretary-Treasurer . Bred Farmer jC OR the first time in the history of the Institute we were able TJ] to organize a Badminton Club. Nearly all the students who joined the club were new to the game but it was not long until most of them showed real ability. It was hoped that in the course of the year various competitions would be arranged with the Staff and the Normal School, but the other clubs were unable to get a sufficient membership. Without a doubt this club has been a gratify¬ ing success. We feel that, in the oncoming years, interest in Badmin¬ ton at Tech, will be greatly increased. Honorable mention should go to the Motor team. They have no finished” players on their team but we always find them in there, fighting to the last breath. A good way to relieve the monotony of any job is to think u ways of improving it. THE LATE” MR.

Geraldine Weaver JjfTATE in November, several musically enthusiastic students under TU the leadership of Mr. Safran, and Mr. Jones as pianist, ogran- ized our Choral Society. Mr. Safran secured for us the services of Mr. Higgin of Knox United Church as director. These gentle¬ men have given unstintingly to the work. Our membership is strong in the baritone and soprano sections but we are in need of tenors and contraltos. We hope that a better- balance may be struck next year. Our activities this year have been necessarily few because of the short period for which we have been organized. We sang at one Pago sixty-two of the weekly “Lits” in collaboration with the Symphony Orchestra of the Institute. The Banquet Committee had confidence enough in us to invite us to assist in the program which was presented in the Pallrser Hotel in February. Although there is not time this season Mr. Higgin has suggested that the Choral Society undertake the performance of an operetta at an early date. Next year’s group have a great deal of pleasure in store for them, and it is our only regret that it will not be ours. We hope to present a concert per- before the end of the year to show the student body just have learned and what v i able t do. The whole choir wish to express appreciation to Messrs. Higgin, Safran and Jones, for the excellent leadership they have given us and for the privilege and good fortune of having such a wonderful opportunity for musical training. SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA HDCKEY TUMBLING, WRESTLING AND BOXING GIRLS’ BASKETBALL ACH year Tech, experiences some difficulty in building a ladies’ basketball team, due to the fact that the enrollment in the ladies’ classes is comparatively small. This year was no ex¬ ception. It required all the practice time previous to the Christmas holidays for “Dutch” Yerkerk and Allen Stewart to coach the ladies in the rudiments of the game, as many of the players were novices at basketball. It required patient work on the part of the coaches to develop the team play which is an essential of successful competition. Page sixty-six Tuesday evenings and Friday noon hours were devoted to this problem. After Christmas, several games were played. Although the team was not successful in breaking into the winning column, the improve ment which they have shown was gratifying to those in charge. It is hoped that this team will form the nucleus around which a better team will be developed next year. The Provincial Institute of Technology and Art PRACTICAL COURSES WITH THEORY A.

As he reached the fortieth floor he heard cries of alarm and looking down he beheld a drunk almost directly behind him. “Get back there, you fool,” he yelled. “You can’t do this The drunk merely laughed at him. The Great Human Fly shrugged his shoulders and continued on. Up he went past the fiftieth, past the sixtieth story, until he reached the top. He climbed over the parapet and sank exhausted on the roof. Then he felt something heavy fall on top of him and dis¬ covered it was the drunk who had followed him. His professional jealousy was aroused. The drunk grinned, “I c’n do anything you can do.” The Great Human Fly sneered and laughed, “Oh, Yeah?” he cried. “Well, let’s see you do this.” With a leap he cleared the parapet and opening his parachute, floated toward the ground. Halfway down he heard a chorus of shrieks and looking up he saw the drunk coming after him. As he passed him, the drunk yelled, “Sissy.” “ It’s a great kindness to trust people with a secret.

OFFICIAL TECHNICAL SCHOOL RINGS and BUTTONS 314 Eighth Avenue West - Calgary NAPOLEON Napoleon saw clearly that it was the lack of knowledge of how to work that wears a man out, not the work itself. Fatigue comes because the process of thinking is unorganized. Uncontrolled minds leap from one topic to another, scattering both energy and attention. In this, his own manner of thinking varied from that of most men. He liked to compare the mechanism of thinking with the methodical arrangement of an office cabinet where all matters are filed away in their respective drawers. “ If I decide to dismiss one matter from my attention, I simply shut that particular drawer and open the next one. Thus the contents never become confused and the mind is free from worry and fatigue. If I wish to relax in sleep I simply shut all the drawers.” Thus, he was master of his thoughts and had them in complete subordination. He managed his thoughts with the same directness as he handled his troops. He could mobilize his entire attention instantaneously in order tc penetrate into the heart of a problem. Having made a decision, he dismissed it from his mind and passed on to the next without giving the former any further thought. —Boris Solcoloff THAT SETTLED IT Landlady : ‘ ‘ Can’t you at least pay the interest on your bill ? ’ ’ Tech.

Although only in its second year of organization the membership neared the one hundred mark. Of the many talks and field trips, a tour of the Royal Crown Soap factory was outstanding. The manufacture of soap and its by¬ products was ably explained by employees of the plant. The first of a series of talks to the organization was an illustrated lecture on oil processing by a representative of the lion Oil Company. Burns and Company sponsored a talk on ‘ ‘ Fats ’ ’ for the benefit of the club. The Executive organized a viist to the Liquid Air plant, where the properties of liquid air were explained and demonstrated. Mr. Young, Assistant City Chemist, kindly consented to present a lecture on “Purification of City Water Supplies.’’ Lantern slides were used to aid in this explanation. Mr. Young demonstrated the purification of Calgary’s water supply by filtration and chlorination, and also the growth and multiplication of bacteria. Mr. Ward, a representative of the Trail Smelting Company, showed films on ‘ ‘ The Trail Smelter, ’ ’ and followed this with a film on ‘ ‘ Sugar-Beet Growing in Southern Alberta. ’ ’ Throughout the year the club meetings have held the interest of the members, a fact evidenced by the large attendances. Practical knowledge gained from tours of various industrial plants, lectures, or films, is linked with the Chemistry theory taught in the regular classes.

THE SPIRIT OF THE INSTITUTE “Still o’er these scenes my memory wakes, And fondly broods with miser care; Time but the impression deeper makes, As streams their channels deeper wear.” - LTHOUGH these words were written many years before this Institute was established they accurately interpret the impres¬ sions of a Tech, student as he reflects on the happy days spent here — days and pleasant memories which we hope this book will help you to recall. In every school, college or institute worthy of the name there is a certain intangible something which binds the student body to¬ gether, gives them common interests, instils a spirit of eo-operation, and above all fosters a just pride in being members of the institution. It may be called loyalty to the school; it may be called love of the Alma Mater. Here we call it, “The Spirit of the Institute.” We feel that this spirit pervades every iritra-curricular and extra¬ curricular activity at Tech. We know that Tech, students live under this spirit while here. We hope that they carry its influence with them when they leave. If such loyalty is to survive it must be built upon some solid basis. Here that foundation is service. We enter this school with the intention of obtaining theoretical knowledge and technical skill in a chosen field of work. We leave, secure in the knowledge that we have received the necessary preliminary training which will en¬ able us to lead useful lives. Nowhere is the Tech, spirit better exemplified than in the re¬ lations between the Staff and the students. A feeling of good-fellow¬ ship exists between the two groups. We look up on the instructors as friends. Nevertheless they are able to command the utmost re¬ spect of the student body and efficiently direct its activities. This is an arrangement which approaches the ideal in instructor-and-student relations. We will leave Tech, feeling that the Staff has an interest in our work and in our welfare which is more than feigned. It is “ The Spirit of the Institute ’ ’ which makes us rise with a “Yeh Tech.” at our sports events. It teaches us that “It is not the prize but the game that matters.” We hope that this influence will be carried far beyond the grounds of the Institute. We hope that co-operation will become an intregal part of our lives. Surely wo have learned the value of good sportsmanship, industry, and “ stick-to-itiveness. ” We have been taught that precision and perseverance are essential units in the march of prog ress. INTER-SCHOOL CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP HE Inter-School Christian Fellowship is an association of groups of Christian students in schools and universities, who desire to make Christianity significant and vital to students. The local group was first organized in the Spring of 1937. This year an early start was made in the Fall Term. Regular meetings were held every Tuesday after school. Weekly discussions dealt with the Book of Romans. Special speakers were invited on several occasions and thus many profitable hours were spent. CATHOLIC STUDENTS’ STUDY CLUB TT ' HIS year there was organized for the first time, a Study Club for Catholic students attending the institute. The meetings were under the direction of Rev. Father B. Holland, of the Cathedral staff. Wednesday evenings for a period of over ten weeks were devoted to the study of questions of the day in the light of the teachings of the church. The delightful evenings spent in study and recreation attest to the popularity of this venture. Sincere apprecia¬ tion is due to those who contributed to the success of these meetings.

On this scale it would require forty-nine years to enable our genera¬ tion to give up the habits of wandering hunters and settle down to till the soil, domesticate animals, and weave garments. Six months later, or half way through the fiftieth year, they would have in¬ vented writing. For only two months would our generation be living under the blessings of Christianity; the printing press would be only a fortnight old and for only two or three days would they have been travelling on railroad trains. Within the last few hours they would have learned to fly. Only a week ago they were burning and burying alive those who differed from the ruling party in the matters of salvation. —James Harvey Robinson Dutch: “What kept you out of school yesterday, acute in¬ digestion ? ’ ’ Butch: “No, a cute dressmaker.’ ' Pbospective Tenant: “Yes, it is a very nice little apartment, but I don’t see any bath.’’ Landlady: “Oh, pardon me!

IT PROBABLY BLEW UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE THIRD ROUND The darkey fireman had to go to work at the sawmill an hour before starting time, so that he would have the steam pressure up when the Engineer arrived, which was five minutes before starting time. On this particular morning when the Engineer came in, he noticed only ten pounds steam pressure registered on the gauge. In a rage, he shouted, ‘ ‘ You nigger, what do you mean by having only ten pounds of steam when you know we have to start the engine in another five minutes.” The darkey grinned broadly, thinking he had one on the boss, and blithely informed him, “Why boss, that’s the second time that there pointer has gwine around, since ah tied a weight on the safety valve. ’ ’ For Radio Parts and Accessories for both Transmitters and Receivers, The Tech.

When they got into town Uncle Sanky said, “I must go into the hardware store for a while, so you sit here and watch the watermelons. If any body comes along just keep your mouth shut and they won’t find out how dumb you are.” While Uncle Sanky was gone a couple of ladies came by and asked Dillard how mueh the watermelons were. Dillard sat there and didn’t open his mouth. The lady repeated the question but still Dillard said nothing. The lady said to her friend, ‘ ‘ The poor boy must be awfully dumb, ’ ’ and they continued on their way. After a while Uncle Sanky returned and said, ‘‘Well, Dillard, how did you make out.” Dillard replied, ‘‘Paw, I did just what you told me but they found out anyway.” EPITAPH Phone M4466 He walked on the suicide of the street.

FAIRY FIBBLES By Habold Cassan ✓ j NCE upon a time in a large brick school on a great big hill ||tj overlooking a cow-town there was called an assembly of students. As the boys and girls crowded eagerly into the hall they were met by members of the staff, each bearing a silver tray. How the eyes of the students shone as they espied on these trays all kinds of suckers! Some were large brown suckers wrapped in waxy gray paper; some were red; some were yellow; and there were even a few black ones. Members of the staff were saying, “Do try my suckers.’’ You can imagine how quickly the students were say¬ ing, “Thank you, Sir.’’ Some greedly little boys with suckers in their mouths said, “Thank you, Thir,’’ but not in all the school was there one who failed to receive a sucker. In a surprisingly short time all the suckers were nothing but sweet memories. Then the President arose and said, “The meeting will now come to order,’’ and the strangest part of all, every last one of the boys and girls removed the sucker stick from his or her mouth and maintained a respectful silence throughout the entire meeting. Once upon a time at a place near and dear to all of us the balmy zephyrs of Spring wafted gently through an open window. Its fragrance and warmth so caressed a fair dressmaker who toiled there that she forgot her labors. Raising tired eyes to the Bow Valley and the hills beyond to the snow-capped Rockies she unconsciously voiced as wish, “Oh that my prince would come to¬ day.’’ At that very moment a knock sounded at the classroom door and the teacher’s voice came to her as through a fog, “Miss Brown, you are wanted at the door.” Now this fitted in so neatly with her thoughts that when he caller asked her to skip classes and go for a ride she had not the slightest timidity in asking her teacher for permission to leave with her prince. There is Tittle left to say except that the teacher was so taken in by the dressmaker’s utter simplicity that she said, as though at some fairy’s bidding, ‘ ‘ Why yes, my dear, it is such a lovely day that I would feel very unhappy indeed if I did not wish you both the most pleasant afternoon of your lives.” Young people today are alike in many disrespects. ‘ ‘ A man of wealth is dubbed a man of worth. ’ ’ —Alexander Pope Cecil Robinson: “We’re mixing cement, Dave, and we need a couple of shovels.” Dave : “I have no more shovels. Tell the boys to lean on each Defeat isn’t bitter if you don’t swallow it. A man who watches the clock generally remains one of the hands. She: “All extremely bright men are conceited.” He : ‘ ‘ Oh, I don’t know. I’m not. ’ ’ Page eighty-five The- CALGARY DRAFTING FOR YOUR DRAFTING ART SUPPLIES We wish the Graduating Class and you all every success in your chosen vocation .... and hope that you will remember ....

With apologies to Rudyard Kipling. By Einab Farvolden If you can live a clean and carefree girlhood, —become a woman ere you choose a mate, And have a smile for friends that come to see you, And wave a greeting as they reach the gate. If you can see the glory of the sunset, If you can see the tinsel’s golden gleam, And see the willow thicket silvered by the moonlight, And drift away in dreams upon the beams. If when you wander among trees and flowers, You hear the songbirds as they gaily sing; —breathe deep the fragrance that the spruce bough carries, When fields and meadows turn so green in Spring. If when you see a toilworn, broken mother, You feel a sting and choking in your breast, And give your strength to ease her heavy burden, And have the help of him you love the best. Then you will know the thrill and joy of living, —be sweet and lovely as a rose in bloom, And you shall be—indeed— a happy woman, And be the mother in a happy home.
