Our chief objective is to help you review the highlights of the past year in our city”, Strathcona High School. The key to this city is your vision and imagination. Take it and use it well, for its effective use in past years has been shown by the high standards set by your predecessors. Remember, the honor of a city rests upon the actions of its citizens. Shall we take a quick glimpse down main street? What do you see _a pavement made up of high ideals, originality of idea, and strength of formation? 5 This is what we see—we, who have witnessed and recorded the reactions of our citizens with regard to the administration of Mayor Robbie”, and his aldermen. The government of our citizens was placed in their hands, and through your Students ' Council, they have very effectively directed your way to a happy life at Scona. The extent to which you have obeyed the laws of the land”, the response you have given to this administration, are recorded in the following pages Have you succeeded? That is for you to decide after you have completed your perusal of this, the 1947-48 edition of the Tricolor. We leave you now to browse, at your leisure, through what we hope you will label and refer to in the future as Memoirs of Life at Scona.” NORMA SMITH. 4 M. ROOKWOOD, M.A. D. R.

McCOMB, President Although Father Time is closing the gates on another year at Scona, memories and re¬ collections of the past year will never be forgotten. We will always remember our high school days, for they are without a doubt, the happiest days of our lives. Our social functions, from our first dance for the Grade X ' s to the Graduation, have been most successful, and climaxed by our Evening in Paris , an evening which none will forget. School Spirit has reached a new high and seems to be increasing each year. The enthusiastic support given our Rugby games and social functions has been gratifying. Keep alive that spirit for which Scona has stood these many years. On behalf of the Students ' Council, I should like to thank Mr. Robert¬ son and Mr. Pollette for the unstinted co-operation and wise counsel they have given us. It has been greatly appreciated. Congratulations are due Mr. Pollette for his untiring efforts in producing and directing the year play, The Great Big Doorstep . As a parting thought, I would like to say this: Many familiar faces will be gone at the end of the school year, but more bright faces will appear to replace the vacancies. It is to the older students who remain that the juniors will be looking for guidance and co-operation. Without guidance and co-operation very little can be achieved; but with these essentials all that is attempted will be a great success. As citizens in our world of School at Scona , you have been enthusiastic and co-operative. May this spirit travel with you as your horizons broaden in the City and the World. PHIL McCOMB, President. M. ROOKWOOD MR. ROBERTSON J. POLLETTE Banker Hon. President Adviser 12 STUDENTS ' UNION FRED MORIE SHARON STOCK MARG UERITE LAKE Vice-President Secretary Treasurer The Student: ' Union of 1947-48 has worked hard to make this past year at Scona a happy one. Mr. Pollette, Mr. Robertson, and Mr. Rookwood, as Advisor, Honorary President, and Banker, have given us very helpful guidance. School Spirit has been the highest in years, and it t:ok very little coaxing to get enthusiastic students out to the Rugby, Basketball, and Baseball gcmes. The Cheerleaders added pep and vigour. Junior Jamboree, Kickapoo Jounce, Evergreen Amble, and Evening in Paris, made unforgettable impressions on the Sconaites attending these dances. The success of these dances and our after-four lits was largely due to the tireless efforts of the various directors and their committees. A Grad Dance was planned, and if plans materialize it was one of the most outstanding dances to date. The response of Scona classes to the appeals for donations was gratifying. Because of t heir genercus support, we contributed to the Junior Red Cross Drive, Poppy Fund, and Save the Children Fund. As the year draws to a close, we are almost sorry to see it end. We have tried to represent and enforce the ideas of you, the students, and hope that we have succeeded. MO SLUTSKY AUDREY GLORIA WATSON ORYST STOGRYN Lit Director MacQUARRIE Girls ' Sports Rep.

May she mix with Men and, prosper — Tennyson. Never may the activities be forgotten that bound you to the school— the thrill of the annual formals, excitement of seasonal parties, dances, hikes and sleigh rides; the dignity of year plays, active participation in sports and club functions, and last but not least—the gay chatter in halls before classes—all events recorded in your collection of year books. You came from schools scattered throughout the city, but you all found a common meaning in Scona. Education here was not iust a learning of facts, but a learning of behaviour, which was engulfed in the social life of the school. Here too, you learn to appreciate the abilities of fellow students— students like Pat Thornton who won the Wees Cup for the hiqhest academic standing, Joyce Weastell who was awarded the Griesdorf Cup, and Doug Swail who obtained the Harley-Millar-Sutton Trophy. The departing will come on the long awaited Graduation Day. In June we leave school officially, but the memories of school will never be locked away—this period marks the round-up before you start your trek on the road of life. There ' s a dignity to be remembered—a dignity not to be sold—it ' s the pride of the school ' s foundation—the keystone of your goal. LOLA GARRAWAY. 15 in Jflemortam 16 VALEDICTORY To each is given a bag of tools, A shapeless mass and a book of rules; And each must build, ere life is floivn, A stumbling block or a stepping stone. Anonymous. We of the graduating class have today, per¬ haps more than at any other time in our high school careers, high ideals and standards of hero¬ ism. We have come to a divided road. Now we pause and evaluate the meaning of life. Who is the real hero? The hero is the common man. He is the one BETTY DERRAUGH who plods along doing his job well, who keeps his Valedictorian hopes and ambitions high. He asks no favours, seeks no fame; yet, is striving to better the world in which he lives. He is the real hero—the worthy citizen. He respects himself and the rights of others. He avoids bigotry and intolerance. The welfare of his country and his community are put before his own advantage. He is moderate in his thinking and in his actions. He realizes he has a personal responsibility to himself and to his country. It is he who bears the brunt of life and yet reaps no great material reward. We, the graduating class, have many hopes for the future. Whether these hopes are realized is not the important thing, but it is important that we know ourselves—that we be true to ourselves. We should be proud of our ambitions, however humble, for they are our real possessions in the changing fortune of time. We are children of the universe no less than the trees and stars. This universe is unfolding to us. We are leaving behind us the days of studying and fun and with parting regret; hand down our rights to those who will follow in our footsteps and become the seniors. With the auspicious event of graduation some of us leave forever our scholastic activities and commence to do our part as men and women of the world. Whatever our thoughts for the future, there will be thoughts of what we leave behind. The pleasant days and associations of our high school life will not soon be forgotten. Nor will we forget the many helping hands we have received from our parents, teachers, and principal, who were always willing to guide us through the difficulties we encountered along the way. From them we have acquired such characteristics as integrity, loyalty, tolerance, and kindness. These will enable us to take our place in the world beside the common man. We shall not all be famous, but whatever we be, humble or great, let us resolve to do the job well. Lives of great men all remind us Footprints, that perhaps another, We can make our lives sublime, Sailing o’er life’s solemn main, And, departing, leave behind, us A forlorn and shipwrecked brother, Footprints on the sands of time — Seeing, shall take heart again. Let us, then, be up and doing, With a heart for any fate; Still achieving, still pursuing, Learn to labour and to wait. 18 Longfellow.

After Strathcona High School ' s semi-formal dance, Evening in Paris , which was held March 5th, students felt as though they were awakening from a dream. Beautifully decorated with flowers, balloons and silhouettes, the Garneau gym provided the background for the candidates for queen, who during intermission walked gracefully down the stairs at the front of the stage and past the judge ' s tables. Barbara Munson, a pretty brunette, was chosen as Queen of Scona . Barbara was presented with a cup and a dozen roses, by Mayor Ainlay, during the broadcast of the dance. The broadcast was the first of its kind in Edmonton. Mr. Robertson was interviewed over CJCA as were Mayor Ainlay and Mr. R. S. Sheppard, superintendent of schools. Mr. Robertson stressed the need of a gymnasium and auditorium at Strathcona. Continued on next page A touch of night club flavour was added as five of Scona ' s girls, during intermission, danced a Can-Can . Gordon Holmstrom, George Beazley, and Jack Armstrong, harmonized beautifully as they gave rendi¬ tions of The Desert Song and The Whiffenpoof , which was an encore number. In keeping with the French atmosphere, French names were given all the dances. Phil McComb ' s orchestra provided the music. Judges for the Queen ' s Contest were Mayor and Mrs. Ainlay, Mr. and Mrs. Sheppard, Mrs G. Clark, Mrs. D. Innes, and Mr. Robertson. Patronesses were Mrs. Ainlay, Mrs. Robertson, Mrs. Innes, Mrs. 0. Stratte, and Mrs. Clark. BETTY DRYSDALE. STUDENTS ' SCRAMBLE Scona ' s first dance of the season, which was appropriately called the Students ' Scramble, was a climax to the initiations the Grade X pupils had been through that Friday. Stunts which were given at intervals throughout the evening included a little ditty sung by our own famous Scona Quartet . Cokes and do-nuts were served by Audrey MacQuarrie and her capable helpers. We said good-night but not good-bye, knowing there would be future happy get-togethers . EVERGREEN AMBLE ' Twas two nights before Christmas And all through the hall, Scattered the Sconaites Arrived for the ball. The red and green streamers, The brightly lit tree, Made the gayest of settings. That you ' d ere wish to see. After an evening of dancing To Phil McComb ' s band, We left feeling so happy And of course, hand in hand. KICKAPOO JOUNCE Kickapoo Jounce was the appropriate name given to our second social function of the year. A very interesting programme was presented and we especially noted Fred Morie who won all our hearts with his pitiful rendition of I ' m A Lonely Little Petunia . This plus the gay Dogpatch decorations and the square dances managed to get everyone in the swing for a wonderful time. 35 ■tL m jkfll ' 2s W jti U 1. The Crochets ot supper. 2. Property crew. 3.

Some of us were happy that it was over and a success, others wished it would never end, but all felt a twinge of regret at the thought of this being our last year to work with our director. In his three productions at Scona, Mr. Pollette has proved what versatility and keen imagination, combined with a personality that is all his own, can do for a group of greenhorns all intensely interested in dramatics, whether it be the acting, properties, make-up, lighting or costumes end of play production. Many thanks for what you have done from us all; both those here and the ones who have passed on to greater heights. As for the play—it had a Louisianian setting, where the Crochet family (all eight of them) lived in a ramshackle old shack. Lazy old Commodore, or Papa as he was fondly called by his chillun, was colourfully portrayed by versatile Ken Horne who did not miss a chance to vividly bring out the character of Papa. His loving wife, Mama Crochet or Duck as paDa was prone to call her, was hopefully portrayed by yours truly Cnuff said!). Our chillun consisted of: Topal, that lil ' rebel who wanted to get a new dress and go to New Orleans and who, as I heard one mother comment later made her so mad she wanted to come up on the stage and give her a slap! Little Evie, who wanted that man! and whose wanderings in dream¬ land with men, men and more men, brought many amused (and sym¬ pathetic) chuckles from an appreciative audience. An excellent characterization was given by Oakley Dyer as Arthur, the young son who wanted to get a job and leave home. The twins, Elno (Marlene Garrod) and Fleece (Daphne Rogers) were made up to look startingly alike and many thought we had borrowed a pair of ten-year-old twins from elementary school. Good work Norma Smith and make-up crew!! Bill Bell, the quiet, well-mannered Mr. Tobin, was well contrasted! by his hated rival Tayo Delacroix, played by Gordon Holmstrom. Mrs. Dupre, the landlady who insisted on that five dollars rent, was portrayed by Barbara Milne. The lady who finally saved the day with such hustle and bustle was played by Ruth Ott. All these actors were new finds and made their debut in a Scona production this year. But our original sets, authentic costumes and props did not, like Topsy, just happen! Stage manager Hugh Gourlay was, with the aid of drama classes and his crew, responsible for those commendable sets. Audrey Clark and her crew showed what could be done when it comes to collecting authentic props. Lighting was ably handled by Jerry White. The very un¬ flattering but most necessary costumes were collected by Pat Sykes. The whole production under the direction of Mr. Pollette was—to quote an enthusiastic fan, A great show . BERNEICE DORSKIND. 37 DRAMACLUB Honorary President, Mr. J. Pollette; President, Leo Krysa; Secretary, Pat Sykes; Treasurer: George Kidd. Drama Club history made! For the first time Grade X ' s were allowed to make nominations and vote in the electing of Drama Club officers. Elected were: President, Leo Krysa; Vice-President, Betty Drysdale; Secretary, Pat Sykes and Treasurer, George Kidd. Play Committee: Pat Sykes and Bernice Dorskind. Approximate membership sixty-five. Again the first Wednesday of every month was to be reserved for Drama Club meetings. A regular business meeting was held in November and in the December meeting members of the Drama Club presented a psychological comedy “Suppressed Desires directed by Bernice Dorskind. During December pro¬ duction of the Year Play got under way also. February 4th, 5th and 6th marked the public presentation of The Great Big Doorstep , under the direction of J. Pollette. Mr. Pollette again scored a success and with the able acting of all the cast the humorous and sympathetic characters were brought to life on stage to the enjoyment of all who saw it. On February 15, Book Lovers was presented to the members of the Drama Club in the regular monthly meeting. The play, a delightful comedy, was directed by Gordon Holmstrom and all those attending enjoyed every minute of the play. The Strathcona Radio Workshop the radio division of the Drama Club was privileged to present a series of three fifteen-minute radio plays over CKUA. The first was There ' s Money in Witchcraft presented on Tuesday, March 9th, at 8:45. The second Homework was heard a week later, and the third Rhapsody in Blue was presented on the following Tuesday evening. All those who took part gained valuable experience and would like to thank Mr. Pollette for his patience and coaching.

DRAMACLUB Continued from page 38 Friday, March 12th, in the basement of the Strathcona Library, was the date and place set for the party for all the cast and production staff of the year play. The food was swell and everyone who attended had a bang-up time. Thanks go to Hugh Gourlay and his father who so graciously gave the club use of the library for the occasion. We would like to extend our thanks to all of those Drama Club members who helped to make the Drama Club activities so successful and especially to the members of the Executive and the Department Heads: Hugh Gourlay, Stagecraft; Audrey Clark, Properties; Jerry White, Lighting and to Norma Smith, Make-up. The thanks of the Drama Club goes to Mr. Pollette or Jackson for his willing and much-needed assistance and for the high standard he demanded from all public performances of the Drama Club. The best wishes of all are extended to you, Mr. Pollette, in whatever you do and wherever you go. 39 RED CROSS CLUB Honorary President: Mr. Robertson; President, Kay Macaskill; Secretary-Treasurer, Joyce Weastell. Again Scona High has the honour of first”. This time the first school to organize a Junior Red Cross Club—with a membership of 100. The main purpose of the club has been service for others. There was a sad lack of male supporters this year but those whom we did have are to be well recommended for their efforts this year. The work of the club has covered many fields which have included work at the Blood Donor Clinic, the writing and presentation of radio broad¬ casts, the making of five layettes and 7,000 bandages as well as the knitting of bootees. Another major work during the year was the sending of two or three members a few times a week to the Kiwanis home to help in the children ' s recreational hour. Christmas time saw the members busily decorating wards at the Royal Alex Hospital and the Eventide Home. To Joyce Weastell, our secretary, and those few faithful workers who have given so freely and frequently of their time and energies I would l ike to extend my heart-felt thanks and say, Well done kids ! KATHLEEN MACASKILL, President. 40 I. S. C. F. Honorary President: Mr. Mix; President, Quentin Mix; Secretary-Treasurer, Gerald Brice; Vice-President, Neta Abell. Another worthwhile season of activies has been enjoyed by the Scona Chapter of the Inter-School Christian Fellowship. The weekly meetings have taken the form of Bible discussions and addresses by guest speakers. An Inter-School Missionary Meeting has been held each month in the home of one of the students. The social activities have included sleigh rides and skating parties. The group activities, which are under the competent guidance of Mr. Mix, the sponsor, have proved to be very interesting and helpful to all those attending. 41 RIFLE CLUB Honorary President, Mr. C. Scarborough; President, Ray Ball; Secretary-Treasurer, Adrienne Elliott. A comparatively new student organization, the Scona Juniors G.E.R.A. (Greater Edmonton Rifle Association), really got clicking this year. From an active membership of over 55, some very gratifying results were obtained. One member, John Hoggard, won his Expert Shield, and Pat Derraugh and John won the Burrows Trophy. A five-man team (three girls) competed for the Junior Championship of the city. Their average was 99.5 per cent. The officers: Hon. Pres., Mr. C. Scarborough; Pres., Ray Ball; Vice- Pres., Hugh Gourlay; Sec.-Treas., Adrienne Elliott and an advisory board worker under the supervision and introduction of Mr. Dan E. C. Campbell and special policeman Len Hayes, prepared competitions and prizes. Re¬ freshments were served nearly every night. All awards were presented at a spring banquet early in May. The progress of the club has been so marked that it furnished the subject for numerous newspaper articles as well as a sport magazine feature (Outdoor Canada) . We expect great things from future members. 42 CURLING CLUB President, Lome Veregin. BOXING CLUB Honorary President: Mr. Fisk. 43 SKI CLUB Honorary President, Mr. Fisk; President, Vern Churchman; Secretary-Treasurer,, Ethel Southorn. Although the Scona Ski Club is small, its members enjoyed a very active season, skiing at both the Edmonton and Eskimo Clubs. These en¬ thusiastic members could be seen almost any evening on the ski jump or the slopes. Many enjoyed skiing in the Rockies this winter by journeying to Banff on one of the three Edmonton ski trains. The Scona ski team, composed of six members, won the Big Block Trophy, symbolic of High School skiing supremacy. Jim Proudfoot, a past president of the club, won the Eaton Trophy for his all-round skiing ability. Much credit for the success of the Inter-High School ski races goes to the Varsity Big Block Club and the Edmonton Ski Club for their help in the organization and running of the races. Some of our outstanding skiers have competed in the city, inter-city, and the Dominion championships at Banff this winter. Honorary President, Mr. Fisk; President, Vern Churchman; Secretary, Ethel Southorn.

This year, Scoria ' s ski team finished in first place of the Inter-High School Ski Meet. By capturing firsts in two of the three major events, our boys were able to take an early lead in the hard race for major honors awarded to the best all-round team. Line Moore, a well-known Scona skier, received the cup for his first in the Cross Country. To provide an excellent follow-up showing, Jim Proudfoot finished first in the Giant Slalom. He also ran second in both of the other main events. These wins” earned Jim the individual three- way trophy. Congratulations to you both, Line and Jim. As a team, our Scona lads were presented with the Block A Shield. You did a fine job, and we thank you for bringing more laurels home to Strathcona. 46 GIRLS ' SENIOR BASKETBALL Back row, left to right: Liz Millions, Donna Scramstad, Johnny Clark (coach).

Scona was represented in both senior and junior leagues,, both of which received admirable support from all schools in their first years of operation. The seniors, who won two of their six starts, finished fifth in the seven-team league. Their record in league play however, was not really representative of their true ability. With adequate practice space, time and coaching we believe they would have given the league titlists a real run for the laurels. In the northern Alberta high school finals last March, Vic came up with the title when they handed our team a 55-32 setback. Four Scona seniors, Bill Chebry, Hans Finken, Jim Pritchard and Doug Swail were chosen to play for the Hi-Stars, the high school all-star team which played against the U. of A. Bearcats and the L.D.S. of the City Senior League in preliminary games before U. of A. Golden Bear games. These boys really know what the game ' s all about. The juniors won one of the three games they played on their incom- pleted schedule. With the advent of Easter exams and holidays their schedule was interrupted and was not continued following the Easter holidays. It ' s to be hoped that next year they will get under way earlier; complete their schedule and bring the junior championship to Scona. To Mr. Mix goes a special vote of thanks. He gave unselfishly of his time and really did a swell job in managing the team. ORVILLE CUSACK. GIRLS ' BASKETBALL Girls ' basketball got off to an early start with the commencement of the House League, under the leadership of three captains: Dee Dee Duncan, Rita Stannard, and Gladys Scalen. The winning team received crests. Although both Junior and Senior Girls ' s Teams, under the able coach¬ ing of Johnny Clark, showed great promise, all inter-school games resulted in ignominious defeat for Scona. It cannot be stressed too heavily that for basketball and other indoor activities to thrive, a new gymnasium is a necessity without which this it is impossible to produce teams of which the school may be proud. 49 SENIOR RUGBY Back row: Fraser Taylor, Ian Jamieson, Ted Edwards, Jack Delong, Johnny Armstrong.

Our senior and junior six-man teams won city champion¬ ships in their respective divisions. The twelve-man variety of football made a belated reappearance on the interscholastic sports scene. The senior team topped of a perfect season by winning the city championships; beating Vic. at Clarke Stadium. Doug Howey and Denny Smith kicked to the deadline and Johnny Clark ran for a T.D. to complete the scoring to give Scona a 7-0 verdict. The juniors may also lay claim to a flawless season. In the final game with Al Bryant, George Davis and Oryst Stogryn leading the attack they battled to a 16-10 victory over Separate Hi. This game was really a thriller; the outcome was undecided until almost the end of the game when Al Bryant threw a long pass to Gordon Stogryn who lateral led to brother Oryst who ran for the T.D. This gave Scona an 11-10 edge. After Sep. had made three futile attempts to move the ball downfield, Al Bryant ran for another major score bringing the game to a triumphal end. Scona ' s bantams, who played brilliantly and were undefeated during the regular season, seemed to have saved all their bad luck for the cham¬ pionship game with Vic. They fought hard but when the smoke settled, Vic. had won a 12-10 decision over our team. Last but by no means least was the one game which our twelve-man team played. They gained an 11-6 verdict over U.H.S. after Doug Swail and Denny Smith had scored T.D.s.

In school we get our learnin ' From books, and teachers too. We try to keep our minds there But those that do are few.

And so we ' ve done reporting From corners far and near, To tell you all the many things That Sconaites did this year. BETTY JANKE 62 63 IN APPRECIATION SOCIAL CONVENER ' S APPRECIATION I would like to credit much of the success of our social activities of the past year to those who so willingly gave of their time. Special thanks go to Grace Weyman, Betty Derraugh, Diane Jamieson, Fred Morie, Mo Slutsky, Gloria Watson, Marg Fitzsimmons and Phil McComb ' s Orchestra.
