A Arts Editor THE RE COLL IN' The editorial staff decided to bestow a name on The Annual that would withstand the ravages of time and stand for the best the collegiate can boast of. The name Re Coll In' is taken from the name of our school and it carries with it a hint of memories, long to be recalled. Our Re Coll In' is the product of hours of careful work spent by the editorial staff, and, in all justice to the school and the staff, the students should, one and all, back them to the limit. Heretofore a teacher has been burdened with the responsibility of the compiling of this work, but this year, students alone have handled the work. The success of the undertaking depends entirely upon you-the student body of the purple and gold. To the graduating seniors we wish them every success in life, and may they long continue in pursuit of knowledge. To the remainder of the school we look forward to the day when you will be seniors and we wish you success and happiness in your work. 9

'i D mu LTY In the Regina Collegiate Institute there is one great laboratory, where certain workers, known as the faculty, are carrying out tedious and often discouraging experiments. To inactive elements, known as students, they are adding a mixture consisting of Science, Mathematics, Languages, English, History, etc., hoping there- from to produce certain valuable compounds,-thinkers. The laboratory director, Mr. Dolan, is an expert. He can foretell correctly to two decimal places the marks which any given student will obtain on any given subject, the time to thc exact second when a member of 3A will skip, and other scientific forecasts. Mr. Dolan CG. RJ, having graduated from Queen's University, held the principalship of the Calgary High School and of the Calgary Technical Schools, as well as having held an inspector's position in Alberta, is fully qualified for his position. Mr. Scrimgeour, the Vice Principal, beside compiling time- tables and directing students to their proper studies, heads the Science Department. He is a famous naturalist, having con- ducted numerous expeditions to distant back lanes in search of rare specimens of the species cat, and to the ,shores of the Wascana for members of the finny family. In the R.C.I. laboratory he instructs the students concerning his specimens, and other scientific subjects. In dispensing scientific knowledge he is assisted by Mr. Holmes, who superintends the manufacture of chlorine and other noxious gases for the asphyxiation of too active students Csuccess to your studies this year, Mr. Holmes, but please come back to R.C.I.!D 5 by Mr. Andrews, who reveals the intricacies of butter-making and the proper way to run a farm, and by Mrs. Graham, who has ably replaced Mr. Andrews during his attend- ance at Normal since Christmas. The men of the Mathematics Department, namely: Mr. Campbell, Mr. McLeod, Mr. Hogarth and Mr. Spencer, have successfully decomposed mathematics into its elemental sub- stances, and are now endeavouring to unite them with the students' brains to form stable compounds. Recently Mr. Campbell has complained much of drowsiness, and loss of sleep, but he still insists that the members of his geometry classes keep very wide 11
