THE ROYAL VISIT All school boys like holidays. The Tech boys are no exception. Our holiday of the October 18th, 1952, was such a one, and doubly enjoyable so, as it was the occasion of the visit of our Royal Guests, the then Princess Eliza¬ beth and her husband the Duke of Edinburgh. Time has since magnified the importance of this visit as we now hail Her Royal Highness as Her Majesty Elizabeth II. Calgary and her schools turned out in the full degree of her splendour and with controlled excitement thronged the streets cheering her visitors. As if unable to resist the temptation and eager to show just what Western winter could do, it turned cold and snowy—presenting a background suitable enough to portray the hardiness and vigor of the peoples of the West. As a result, warm and enthusiastic hearts welcomed our Royalty and felt their greeting reciprocated. The immaculate and smiling Duke showed himself a gallant escort to our willing, if perhaps rather shy Princess. As they smiled and waved from their limousine, they left with us a picture as noble as it is precious. The school boy in all of us at Tech felt an added thrill of loyalty and admiration for the heiress. Our visitors not only proved themselves worthy of their position, but they fully captured the hearts of all Calgary and the West, as they rubbed shoulder to shoulder with the common man, and sat through the cold and snow to watch our Stampede in miniature. For me, perhaps, the final climax of their visit came as they emerged from the Indian Tepees and almost brushed those of us who unwittingly stood by the flaps, scarcely realizing that Royalty was so close. So it was that to the Indians they became as Indians, to the French- Canadians as French and to us in Calgary as Galgarians and true Westerners. To all they proved the oneness and personal identification, showing un¬ mistakable appreciation of our efforts and love. Such a couple we of Calgary and Tech laud with joy as our beloved Queen and noble Duke. LONG LIVE THE QUEEN. LUKE MacNAB, L.S. 1. Page 12
