WEAL Dedication ★ W E - the students of the Institute of Tech¬ nology and Art, dedicate this, the Fifth Emery Weal Annual, to our parents. Page 3 The Coste House. Grand Stand Building. Page 4 EMERY WEAL Message from the Minister of Education £ URING the school term you have undergone a period of training in the science and art of making a living as applied to your particular choice of vocation. At the same time your instructors have endeavored to provide you with the means to develop a true sense of values by which to judge and use these gifts of material civilization. To get worthwhile enjoyment out of any occupation we must know something of the art of living itself. This requires what is termed, “the knowledge of good and evil”. The material world is meaningless, fully devoid of purpose, unless we develop a philosophy of life high in moral and spiritual values. It was John Ruskin who wrote, “When love and skill work together expect a masterpiece”. Our Department is greatly pleased that the Provincial Insti tute of Technology and Art is able to play an important role in the re-habili- tation programmes of so many ex-service personnel. I hereby wish the students of 1945-1946 every success and happiness in the years to come. —HON. R. E. ANSLEY. EMERY WEAL Page 5 Message from the Principal TN this year of 1945-46 it is particularly a pleasure to write a brief message for the Emery Weal Annual. After six long years of exile in the cramped, noisy, and rather unsatisfactory quarters in the Grand Stand Building at Victoria Park, the pros¬ pect of an early return to our own buildings on the North Hill is a very joyous one. To the members of our present student body who have never known anything better than the mole-like existence in our present Machine Shop, Welding Shop, and other quarters, the change to the North Hill Buildings may not mean very much—but in the hearts of our instructors who recall years of effective work ' and pleasant fellowship in the spacious and well-appointed facilities of the permanent Institute Buildings there will arise feelings akin to those experienced by the Jews of long ago when they returned to Canaan from their captivity in Babylon. At this time and for the next ten years the Dominion Government has made avail¬ able many millions of dollars to aid vocational education in the various provinces. These Federal grants are provided if the Province will spend an equal amount for buildings, equipment, and operating expenses connected with an approved programme of vocational education. This means that in addition to returning to premises that were designed for its special use and that have been thoroughly renovated since their occupancy by the R.C.A.F., the Institute may look forward to a complete moderniza¬ tion of its shop equipment within the next year or two. In other words, the Institute is at the beginning of a new and great era in its service to the young men and women of the Province of Alberta. To those of our students who will be graduating this year, may I say Good Luck and Godspeed. The very best wishes of the staff go with you as you enter upon your careers in the great workaday world’’. Those who will be returning to continue their training at the Institute next Fall will be thrilled with the equipment and facilities that will then be available in the real home of the Institute. —J.

Newton yHE Provincial Institute of Technology and Art had its inception during the First World War in the year 1916. In 1917 it was taken over by the Dominion Government as a Soldier’s Re-esta blish¬ ment Centre. In 1920 the Institute returned to Provincial control and the following year saw the corner-stone laid for a building to house the Normal School and the Institute of Technology and Art. In 1922 the Institute moved into its new home and carried on in these quarters until 1940 when war again intervened and its buildings and facilities were turned over to the Royal Canadian Air Force for a Wireless Training School under the British Commonwealth Air Train¬ ing Plan. The activities of the Institute moved temporarily to the Coste House in Mount Royal and the Grand Stand Building at Victoria Park. The Coste House, which is a magnificent residential building, is the present home of the Art and Dressmaking Departments. The remaind¬ er of the Departments and offices function at the Victoria Park Grand Stand Building. In the Fall of 1946 the Institute will again unite with the Faculty of Education in its own buildings back on the North Hill. The build¬ ings, which have been completely renovated, will be equipped with new and better machinery and more up-to-date equipment. Again it will be possible to “look up” and see a centre of Pro¬ gressive Education. EMERY WEAL Page 17 President ' s Report for Fall Term J7ELLOW students, I am sure we can be quite justified in saying that this has been a most prosperous year, and that none of us will regret taking part in the social activities of the Tech., but on the contrary feel well rewarded for any effort we have put forth. There is always the need for social improvement, and we 11 probably find no greater opportunity to take our place in this en¬ deavour than here at the Tech. We have gained the friendship of many students, in addition to the valuable knowledge which we have acquired at this fine Institute. —MISS MARION DUNHAM. Page 18 EMERY WEAL President ' s Report for Winter Term YEAR has come to a close since the ending of the Second World War, a year which we have spent enriching our minds with knowledge while we have attended the Institute. We feel certain that we will be bigger and better men and women because of our contact with the Institute. Countless messages such as this have been written in the past— the messages are soon forgotten, but the people we’ve come to know during our short period here at the school, will not. It would be interesting for us all to be able to follow the lives of our school mates. Without a doubt there are many who will be tops in industry. With that thought in mind, I’d like very much to wish you all the very best for the future, and may we meet again. —KIRK WOOLVERTON. EMERY WEAL Page 19 President ' s Report for Spring Term y NOTHER very important year of our lives has just passed, a year which we will all remember as one of the best; a year which many of us will recall as our first in the task of reconversion to civilian life. Difficulties have arisen, most of them to be overcome by the co¬ operation of staff and students. Protests have come to the fore only to be overcome, smoothed over or ironed out one way or another. Next year, I know, will be another story. Our problems will be few and our pleasures many. A newly renovated building awaits us in October, and to those who will return in the Fall, I say “I’ll be seein’ you”, and to those who do not return “Good-bye and good luck!” —ROBERT C. GUISE. Page 20 EMERY WEAL The above members of the student body served on the Students’ Council at various times throughout the terms. To them we owe the success of all the student activities in the year 1945-1946. EMERY WEAL Page 21 l- PHIS last year at Tech, reminds me of a play—the players being the students and instructors of this Institute. At the beginning of the year everyone seemed eager to go forward into a new term and anxious to leave the impression of success along with completion of the term. Some of these actors who started out with trem- endous zeal to go forward, for some reason lost hope, but this hope was caught by others who carried it on until its realization. As with men, so with projects. The Emery Weal Annual started off with a bang but the original editorial staff failed to maintain the pace and at the conclusion of their courses left a rather desperate situation confronting the small band of pinch hitters who stepped into the breach and carried on, with only a few weeks to go until the end of the term. In this short space of time the new staff completed the taking of pictures, compiling of reports and lining up of advertising only to be confronted with a paper shortage and the possibility that they might not be able to publish the book after all. Happily this was overcome and the threat that the long line of year book annuals would be at last broken, was averted. We are a bit late it is true but we have come through and that is the main thing. Into the publication of this book has gone many hours of work and worry. It is hoped that the players will keep it as a keepsake and that it will be a fond remind¬ er of the days they spent at Tech. —R. K. NEWTON.

He hadn’t had any experience in this type of work, but he managed to make a list of all the chattels and stock until he came to an animal which he was unable to identify—a goat. So he phoned his boss and said—-“What do you call this thing that’s around here with a rough coat that’s worn out in spots, a beard, and a long, sad face?” “That, you fool, is the farmer!” ★ “Doctor”, said the sick man, “the other doctors seem to differ from you in their diagnosis of my case,” “I know”, replied the medical man cheerfully, “but the post¬ mortem will show which of us is right.” In this section we have tried to sum¬ marize the 1945-1946 Student Activit¬ ies. It is our hope that we have done these activities justice in the reports we have prepared. While you read these summaries I would like you to remem¬ ber the untiring effort of the leaders in these enterprises. I feel that they ful¬ filled their positions very ably indeed.

Choral Society and Orchestra A Presentation of a Musical Comedy in Two Acts by Estelle Merryman Clark and Hilda Butler Farr under the Musical Direction of Mr. Clifford Higgin and the Stage Direction of Mr. Elgar Higgin Given on Wednesday, March 13th, 1946 in the Central High School Auditorium. EMERY WEAL Page 25 THE STORY In the first act of ‘Top O’ The World we find the graduating class of Wayback Tech College has just arrived at the Grand Canyon in Arizona. After ending four years at the Tech, they are looking forward to a good time. Ezra Spinks, Professor of Natural History, and Miss Lee, Instructor of English, are the chaperons. Ma Spinks, wife of Ezra, went along, although entirely by accident. The first person Ma sees is Jim Grey, disguised as an Indian Guide. Jim takes this role in order to hunt for his sister, who he thinks might be among the young people. When Jim was a little lad, his father left him to go to the Klondike to look for gold. Soon after, Jim’s sister was born and his mother died. The baby was placed in an orphanage. Before they took her away, Jim tied a locket around the baby’s neck with his mother’s name on the back and her picture inside. The father returned soon after, a rich man, and started a search for the baby. No records could be found, as the orphanage had burned. When Jim Grey sees his sister, he knows his search is ended, as she is the image of his mother and has the locket. Jim sends to the ranch for his father, but the father is kidnapped by the Wild Hawk band. A posse composed of cowboys and students start out to rescue him, which they do, also apprehending the robbers, and Mr. Grey sees his daughter for the first time. So we leave them all at last, thrilled and happy, there on Top O ' the World, at the Grand Canyon in Arizona. Orchestra Personnel Leader—Mrs. G. B. Paynter Staff Representative—M. J.

THE TECH. ORCHESTRA This year our Tech. Orchestra was again under the direction of Mrs. Graham B. Paynter and Mr. M, J. Tomlinson, the Staff repre¬ sentative. We enjoyed one of our most successful seasons. Credit¬ able performances were given at both the School Banquet and Oper¬ etta. The Orchestra was augmented by a number of Mrs. Paynter’s students of violin which assisted greatly. New music was acquired and the ground laid for an even more successful season next year. Page 28 EMERY WEAL The 24th Annual Tech. Banquet, held at the Palliser Hotel on the eve of February 1st, may easily be summed up in one short phrase —to use the language of our forefathers, the early Westerners, it was “A Rip Roaring Success”. The student attendance was almost one hundred per cent, and the banquet hall was filled to capacity. Everyone seemed to have a gay time. Under the capable and energetic chairmanship of Mr. Farrend, a willing committee, a co-operative student body, and a very helpful staff, everything combined to make the evening a truly successful and memorable one. After the dinner and program, a dance was held in one of the ballrooms where, under the skillful persuasion of Bruce Bristowe’s Orchestra, young and old tripped the gay fantastic until the wee hours of the morning. Some there were, no doubt, who arose the next morning with a feeling of being slightly the worse for wear. It was undoubtedly an evening to be remembered, and few would hesitate to attend a similar evening’s entertainment should the opportunity again present itself. THE 24th ANNUAL TECH. BANQUET EMERY WEAL Page 29 SOCIAL REPORT By Marion Dunham Our first dance, held in the Central High Auditorium, was a Hallowe’en Celebration. Very fine decorations, made by some of the girls, novelty dances and amusing prizes, made it a most interesting evening. Soft drinks were sold throughout the party. A dance was held on November 16th, the first to be held in the Institute Buildings on the North Hill. An exceptionally large crowd was in attendance, and those who had not seen the buildings before were charmed with the whole layout. The hall was colorfully decor¬ ated with large balloons, and lunch was served in the cafeteria. A skating party was also held in November at the Glacier Rink. Owing to inclement weather, a rather small crowd was in attendance, but an enjoyable time was had by those who were present. A great deal of time and effort was involved in making the Christmas Dance a success. The decorations were splendid, and paper hats worn by the noise-makers, and prizes, added much to the gayety of the evening. Lunch was served by the Iota Club. The attendance was again down, owing to Christmas Exams. This dance ended a very successful social fall term. Because of the preparations necessary for the Banquet, there was little activity during the winter term. One dance was held however, on March 8th at which lunch was again served by the Iota Club. Sandwiches, cup cakes and chocolate milk made a very fine lunch. The Spring Term was opened with a farewell dance for all classes ending in March, and was held on March 22nd. The Tech, colors were prominently illustrated by yellow and green streamers. Novelty prizes were presented for the very original and amusing dances. Cake, coke and milk was served by the Iota Club. Though quite a large portion of the crowd was drawn away by the hockey game, those present spent a very pleasant evening. On April 12th another dance was held at which the Iota Club served coffee, doughnuts and chocolate milk. On the whole, the social activities were very successful, and we would like to thank all those who took part in them. Page 30 EMERY WEAL THE ACTIVITIES OF THE IOTA CLUB By Doris Gillard and Vera Wilson After a recess of five years, the Iota Club is again in existence At Mr. Fowler’s suggestion and with Mrs. Gommerud’s assistance, the following executive was selected: President . Miss Vera Wilson (2nd Yr. D.M.) Vice-President . Miss Joy Alwood i lst Yr. Art) Secretary. Miss Gladys Sangster (1st Yr. Art) Treasurer. Miss Doris Gillard (2nd Yr. D.M.) Social Convener.Miss Barbara Bullock (1st Yr. D.M.) As the club started late in the school term its activities were quite limited. With the exception of a successful Roller Skating Party and a Farewell Theatre Party, the club has confined itself pretty much to the preparing and serving of lunch at the Tech. Dances. We sincerely hope that the activities of the Iota Club will increase in the coming year. THE TECH. RADIO CLUB The Radio Club was organized late in the winter term. How¬ ever, much has been accomplished. A transmitter with the call letters “VE6II” has the power of one hundred and fifty watts. We have obtained the use of a Marconi service receiver. The club has been very successful in making contacts with many foreign lands, the farthest being Tivian Ostand, about two hundred miles south of Japan. The Department of Transport reserves the right to limit the mem¬ bership of the club. It is hoped that next year we will have a larger membership and that we will get an earlier start. Meetings were held twice a week when the members were given instructions on the operation of the transmitter. Bi-monthly meetings were held when the members discussed radio and its operation. Most of the members of the club are ex-service men who have had consid- rable training in wireless while in the service. Club members are: President . Ralph Young Secretary . Harold Silvester Claude Ashby, Harken Boyes, Bill Campbell, Morin Hugh- son, Harry Kirin, G. Manning, Alex Meroniuk, Hazel Mot- yer, Ian Dennis, M. Riklas, Art Thomas. The Club supervisors are M. C. Johnson and H. Rutherford. D. C. Fleming played a prominent part in the initial organization. EMERY WEAL Page 31 Sports Committee Reports The Sports Committees have been under the chairmanship of Mr. K. Wolverton, Mr. T. Tessey and Mr. E. Smith. These committees successfully organized Hockey Teams, Basketball Teams and Fast Ball Teams, as well as our Annual Tech. Field Day, which was one of the highlights of the year. In Hockey the boys did very well. They kept right up at the top and only lost out in the finals by a very close margin. •kirk THE TECH. RJFLE CLUB The Tech. Rifle Club made a name for itself this session in the Dominion Marksman’s Association and Alberta Rifle Association competitions. The club was organized in two sections, senior and junior, and shoots were held two nights a week. Over sixty members took part and one hundred and twenty Tyro Rifleman and Marksman awards were awarded to the club members. One member received the Expert Shield with a score of 6000x6000. This award is the highest offered for .22 sporting rifle competitions. Other members are now shooting for their Expert Shield rating. The Club entered a five-man team in the Provincial Sporting Rifle Com¬ petition which made a good showing. Five members entered the in¬ dividual championships for the Province, and one of them came second in the Grand Aggregate for the four position match with a score of 1197 x 1200. Some one hundred and thirty odd competitors in the province took part in this shoot. The top fifteen percent will shoot for the Dominion of Canada Championships. A number of bronze medals were won by the better shots for the aggregate score for the week. On the school bulletin board a sheet was kept to indicate the championship for the day, with a gold star opposite the champion’s name. A Victory Trophy was presented to R. A. Powelle for the Indi¬ vidual Championship of the Club, his score being 1160 x 1200 for the four position match. All trophies, medals and supplies were purchased by club fees, and all instruction and guidance was given by Mr. F. Wynne, who was the winner this year of the Dominion Grand Aggregate with a score of 500 x 500—46 x and the Dominion four position match with a score of 600 x 600—47 x.

This was largely due to conditions over which we had no control, among these being the chronic paper shortage which threatened ta one time to prevent publication entirely. We would like to express thanks to Mr. A. Higgins, Proverbs the Printer, Calgary Photo Engravers, and Rossetti s Studio for their co-operation in the work of preparing the contents of this book. We hope that the students of this Institute will re¬ cognize and patronize the firms who so kindly assisted us by advertising in this issue. Thank you for your support, Advertisers. B CLASS BIOGRAPHIES These biographies were prepared by Emery Weal representatives from the various classes. I wish to thank them for a good job in gathering the material for this issue. I wish also to thank the students for their fine co-operation in helping the Class Representatives. Page 36 EMERY WEAL AERONAUTICS After hitting an all-time low during the year 1944-1945, the De¬ partment of Aeronautics has commenced to recover. A timely trans¬ fusion of new blood, donated by the R.C.A.F., has played an important part in this process of revitalization. With a total enrollment of 29 students, of whom 22 are ex-members of the service, a definite start has been made towards the re-establishment of the pre-war eminence of the Department. Students have displayed, without an exception, unusual keenness and interest in the work of both shop and classroom. Excellent pro¬ gress has been made in all key subjects, and the prospects are excellent for an unusually high percentage of passes” as a result of the final examinations. In fact, there would appear at this date to be reason to anticipate that there will be no failures. Next year, with the addition of a third year to the regular two- year course, the Department will be pioneering in a new field which should increase its prestige and popularity. kkk AERO II Stewart Baillie —He lived in Calgary up to the time he joined the Air Force.

If they kiss a baby on the lips it becomes a singer; if they kiss it on the ears it becomes a musician; if on the eyes, an artist.

Art Keefe, Vancouver, B.C.—Art has his own style of art, and after the hours he spends working, is bound to become a success one day.

Albert Laslo, Windsor, Ont.—Another of the “3 beards” who will some day gain fame either as a “character” or a master of abstract. Because of his brilliant and advance ideas about art, he is considered crazy. Ricky Levitt, Provost, Alta.—The last of the “3 beards” is all the teachers pet. Might be on account of his personality but more likely because he is such an excellent student. Talmage MacDonald, Summerland, B.C.—He owns apple or¬ chards, and is having trouble keeping a boarding house over his head. He threatens to give up art and return to B.C. if things don’t change. Bill MacKenzie, Warner, Alta.—Bill believes one has to laugh at the remarks made in school. Some day he’ll whip up a little thing worth selling.

Jean Trowesdale, Calgary—A little gal with an “electric” person¬ ality who we don’t see very much of. She is the younger half of a mother-daughter student combination. Steve Varro, Regina, Sask.—Even when working he will argue with you about anything. And sometimes he knows what he is talking about. He is really good at both painting and arguing. I Page 51 EMERY WEAL AUTOMOBILE MECHANICS The war is over and we must all lend our energy to getting back to conditions of peace. New cars to satisfy the demand that exists will not be available in sufficient numbers for some years and in the meantime the majority of machines in service will require the usual maintenance and repair work. The future is, therefore, bright in every branch of the automobile trade. Students should have little difficulty this year in finding employ¬ ment in their chosen field at the conclusion of the present term. The Institute year of 1945-1946 terminates our occupancy of the Grand Stand Building at Victoria Park. The accommodation there has been rather cramped and inconvenient, especially for this depart¬ ment, and many students were unavoidably turned away in the autumn of 1945. In spite of the handicaps that students and staff have had to contend with, much beneficial training has been accomplished during the term. Students contemplating continuation of their courses may look forward to enjoying the fine accommodation in the Institute Build¬ ings on the North Hill, with better and more conveniently arranged space. Renewed and better tool equipment will also be available. The capacity of this department for 1946-1947 will be in the neighborhood of one hundred and twenty students. It is hoped that the students carry away with them a recollection of pleasant associa¬ tions at Tech, and that they profit much in the future from knowledge and skill gained during the time spent here.

Page 56 EMERY WEAL DEPARTMENT OF BUILDING CONSTRUCTION AND INDUSTRIAL ARTS The slogan ‘‘rent a room to a Veteran”, which may be heard and read very frequently these days, is indicative of the tremendous shortage of living quarters which exists on this continent. So serious is the situation that trailers, chicken houses, barns, tents, in fact any¬ thing with walls and a roof are being used as shelters. There are many reasons for these deplorable conditions, and not least among them is the shortage of trained builders. In many cases unqualified people are building mediocre homes for themselves with materials which, under the hands of skilled craftsmen would have given a much more durable and pleasing structure. It is felt that the Department of Building Construction of the Institute is playing an acceptable part in preparing a body of workers to be leaders in some of the phases of the building industry. Those who complete their Industrial Arts training will perform a valuable service in the schools where they eventually serve, by help¬ ing the student to a better understanding of, and appreciation for, the various industrial skills.

The mining courses are also used as textbooks in day and evening classes in British Columbia, Nova Scotia, Saskatchewan and Alberta, and the steam correspondence courses are standard in all of the Western Provinces as well as Alberta. Individual students come from all parts of Can¬ ada, from the Arctic Circle to the United States boundary, and from Halifax and Labrador to Vancouver. The enrolment this year has been exceptionally heavy and the number of answer papers returned for correction has reached an all- time high. All the courses are being revised and reprinted in a more compact and readable form than that hitherto used, and when complete, each course makes a very comprehensive and up-to-date reference textbook. Many are sold without correction service, just to be used for reference purposes though most men interested in studying for higher certificates as engineers or mine officials, prefer to take the complete course with correction service.

Page 72 EMERY WEAL INDUSTRIAL ELECTRICITY The Industrial Electricity Class, with the associated Radio Me¬ chanics, after shrinking during the war to micro-proportions, has now risen to its usual pre-war function of being the nuclear centre about which the nebulous denizens of the Coste House continually gyrate. Full of superlatives, this dynamic class not only has the largest enrol¬ ment but also the largest number of veterans and the largest collection of late slips. They are the major second year class and consume the biggest lunches, a condition necessary to support their massive frames and well-developed vocal organs. The work accomplished in the shops, under adverse conditions, due to obsolete and worn-out equip¬ ment, bodes well for the coming year, in the commodious quarters on the North Hill, reinforced with new and modern equipment, where it is hoped that at least sixty seniors will uphold the standards of the past 26 years. To those of you who will not be returning, the staff of this depart¬ ment extends their very best wishes, feeling sure that you, and this Province, will be greatly benefited by your experience in the Institute.

EMERY WEAL Page 81 MACHINE SHOP AND MECHANICAL DRAFTING DEPARTMENT After several years in which the Machine Shop and Mechanical Drafting Classes have been quite small, it is interesting to note a re¬ vival of interest in these courses. At the commencement of the school year, fourteen students were enrolled in Machine Shop and sixteen in Mechanical Drafting. It is sincerely hoped that many of them will return for the second year and that they will ultimately become diploma graduates of the Institute. Many students will doubtless have heard of the Legislation cover¬ ing apprenticeship in designated trades, and will have studied the im¬ plications of this legislation. The work of the Apprenticeship Board is in the formative stage and at the moment of writing, it is too early to state what credit, if any, will be given for Institute courses. There are indications, however, that tangible recognition will be given. The possibility of such recognition should be an incentive to students in all courses to secure highly prized diplomas.

EMERY WEAL Page 87 FARM MECHANICS The total enrolment for the current year under this general head¬ ing was sixty, of which number twenty-one were in the Tractor Mechanics, twenty-two in Farm Construction and seventeen in the Short Tractor Course. The entire province was represented in these groups with registrations from Spirit River, Milk River, and inter¬ mediate points. The extending influence of the Institute was again demonstrated by the fact that some students were drawn from the adjacent portions of Saskatchewan. Despite the fact that none of these students had any previous record of attendance at the Institute they made an outstanding contri¬ bution to the student activities. Several played hockey, six were in basketball, they were deeply involved in the Choral Society and eight took part in the Operetta. The small shop space in the Grandstand Building made it neces¬ sary to refuse a number of applications almost equal in number to the total registration. As this unfortunate situation is about to disappear it may be anticipated that the Tractor and Farm Mechanics section of the Institute will bear a relationship to the Institute as a whole that the agricultural section of Alberta now bears to Alberta. ★★★ FARM MECHANICS and FARM CONSTRUCTION Baker, Percy A.—At 6’ 2” is a good understanding man.

Page 94 WELDING GROUP Instructor—Mr. Morton Page 96 EMERY WEAL COSTE HOUSE CAPERS by Maeford Wilson ‘Let’s dress up as cave men, build a fire in the driveway and roast the janitors,” suggested Barry with a marked gleam in his eye. That is how it all started, “It” being the masquerade party at the Coste House in October, the echoes of which are still reverberating in the farthest and mustiest corner of that illustrious building. The school itself has recovered as have most of the participants, but there are still a few who jump a loud noises and those ' who rub their jaws tenderly at the mention of leg make-up. But they will get over it in time. The memories will be few. Once in a while they will wonder to themselves: is it true Dutch girls really wear black moustaches? or, where was it I met that cowboy with the Hungarian accent? Perhaps if we shake our box of memories a little harder we can bring to life part of that memorable evening. All agreed? Fine, here we go— There was a dim light in the Coste House (as usual) and into the murky gloom of the medieval hall lunged a figure, weapon in hand and fearful to behold. “Who are you?” demanded a voice from the gloom. “Ugh”, said the figure as it made its way from room to room, disappearing finally down a dark passageway. Silence followed only to be broken by the creak of the huge door and chilled by a blast of cold air that cleared the murky depths of the hall slightly. In stepped a gentleman with lace at his wrists and a dagger in his belt. Scowling into the darkness he strode down the hall followed by a ' barefooted gypsy woman. No sooner had they been swallowed by the recesses of the hall than another ( troup of shadowy figures swung ba’ck the massive door, their shoes scraping on the stone floor. “It’s cold in here,” remarked a brown faced character as he pulled his sombero down over his ears. Shore is,” replied his companion, aiming his six shooter at a third figure. “Don’t shoot him yet,” pleaded the owner of the sombero, “he might be the life of the party,” “O.K.”, growled Bert Lassoo, “but if he isn’t, he’ll be the death of the party!” “I’ll try to be funny”, said George, vainly trying to keep his midriff warm. “I hear”, said Baron Helmer, taking out his dagger and carving his initials on the mantel piece, “that the Maharajah over there is sell¬ ing his harem at five bucks a head.” Page 97 EMERY WEAL “Behave yourself”, said his gypsy companion, “or I shall go home in a huff!” “You shall go home on horse back the way you came,” he shouted, “or f shall be forced to use my rusty, 1 mean my trusty dagger”. And with that he lifted his flagon of Pepsi Cola and said in a voice that shook the very walls of the castle, Let us have music!” The shadowy corner of the ballroom became alive. Figures rushed to and fro. Soon all was ready. The music began. “How I do hate Spike Jones”, remarked Lady Leonard as she flexed her muscles, adjusted her jewels and made a grab at Princess Ha Ha, daughter of Big Chief Ho Ho. Do I appeal to you?” inquired Princess Ha Ha. “We’ll see”, said Lady Leonard and grabbing her by the pigtails dragged her into the ballroom. “Pardon me”, said Senor Schultzenheimer, bowing deeply, “but you have lost your beard”. So I have”, replied Prince Isabul, retrieving the lost object from the floor, “I find it hard to stick on”. “Perhaps it would help”, replied Senor Schultzenheimer, bowing again, if we both stick together”. “You ' re a pretty thing”, remarked the Maharajah, as he removed his turban and scratched his head. Miss Van Reid blushed beneath her Dutch cap and tweaked her big black moustache. “I think I’ll trade you for the Maharani over there”, he continued, “she’s always hiding my cigarettes. You wouldn’t do that, would you?” “Oh, no”, murmured Miss Van Reid, ‘‘I smoke a pipe myself”. “He’s a dead one”, said Bert Lassoo, thrusting his smoking gun back into its holster. “Quite a mess but trusty Alfred will clean up. Meanwhile, let’s seal up the body in the fireplace”. “I’ll help you”, said Lady Leonard, “we need more room here for dancing”. Suddenly with a gasp of horror they dropped the body to the floor. “Look!” shrieked Lady Leonard, “it’s her”. Surely they didn’t invite her!” Bert Lassoo fumbled for his gun but she beat him to the draw. Ugh”, she said and brought her stone axe down with a thud. “He should never have shot him”, cried Lady Leonard, “they were engaged!” Then she fainted. Our box of memories is almost empty now and besides it’s getting late. We had better leave the Coste Castle before the party gets rough. So we’ll open the heavy door, bid everybody a cheerful good night (not that they’re paying any attention) and run for our lives! Page 98 EMERY WEAL PRAYER OF THE UNITED NATIONS Goddess of the United Nations, we need thee in the darkness. We need thee in the light.

The project was completed by Westinghouse in less than a year. Not only had he effectively proved the value of alternat¬ ing current . . . but the way was opened for our present enjoyment of cheap electric power. Today . . . with alternating current supplying more than 95% of all our electric energy the pioneering spirit of Westinghouse still finds expression in an ever-expanding program of electrical development by the organization which bears his name. i Westinghouse i CANADIAN WESTINGHOUSE COMPANY LTD., Hamilton, Canada — GEORGE WESTINGHOUSE CENTENNIAL SUCCESS PRINCIPLE I Please accept this as a personal message to you. When you leave school you will certainly want to get on the road to financial success as soon as possible. To look ahead and plan ahead is one of the cardinal principles of business success. The purchase of life insurance in itself is proof to yourself— and to your employer—that you can look ahead and plan ahead. In my daily contacts I call on a good many young men because I like to get their point of view on life insurance. I’d like to get yours. The way I figure it, nobody will ever “sell” you any life insurance, but I shall be awfully mistaken if you don’t “buy” a great deal of it some day. The only way I can be in on the ground floor when that “some day comes is to talk to you soon. Will you give me a call? •• STAN ENGLISH representing The Imperial Life Phone M3605 PROVINCIAL INSTITUTE of TECHNOLOGY AND ART Calgary, Alberta CORRESPONDENCE COURSES In Preparation For . . .

LTD There is nothing obscure or involved about what constitutes good citizenship. Basically it is just another application of the Golden Rule, “Do unto others as you would be done by.” It’s not only following the rules and regula¬ tions necessary for any body of people to govern themselves, but it is also a lot of intangibles like neighborliness and community spirit. It ' s a way of living that makes life rich and full of meaning. It’s something that gives you the feeling of belonging. You who are now students will soon be entering into a new phase of life—a life where decisions-will be up to you. Citizenship will be¬ come more than a classroom word. Make it some¬ thing that pays you lifelong dividends in self-respect and the respect of others. CITY OF CALGARY J. C. WATSON, Mayor J. M.
