THE PRINCIPAL ' S MESSAGE “From ocean unto ocean, the world o’er, Thy praise, Sunalta, we proclaim once more The classes past have glorified thy name Your wondrous deeds have magnified thy fame.” Would that you, the graduating classes of Sunalta Junior High School, might carry with you your splerdid spirit of co-operation and achievement in whatever role it may be yours to play in the succeeding years. Refrain from despair, accept re¬ sponsibility as an opportunity; it may be accompanied by criticism, dissatisfaction and disencouragement, but such is to be preferred to escapism. Robert E. Sherwood tells us: “We are armed with more bitter experience, more profound knowledge, than any generations that ever were in the history of the world. If we can ' t use this experience and this knowledge then the human story is really finished and we can go back and achieve forgetfulness and peace in the ooze from which we ascended.” The thought is not unlike that expressed by John Curran in a speech delivered over a century and a half ago, which is well worth our re¬ flection. “It is the common fate of the indolent to see their rights become the prey of the active. The condition upon which God hath given liberty to man is eternal vigilance, which condition, if he break, servitude is at once the consequence of his crime and the punishment of his Guilt.” Have we not in the above quotations the reason why our youth, including several students of Sunalta Junior High, voluntarily take up the struggle for demo¬ cracy and freedom. They are standing on guard not only for Canada but for the world, and eventually having won this hard fought freedom, should they not have a dominant say in the retaining of this freedom, not for the few, but for the many; not for Canada alone, but for all democracies? —E. D. CAMPBELL. 9 VALEDICTORY The end for which we all have longed has come! We are about to close the door upon another school year. But now that the long-looked-for event has arrived, we are conscious that our joy is tinged with sadness as we think of saying “Good-bye” to Sunalta. To the members of the teaching staff we say farewell. We sincerely thank you for the painstaking effort with which you all have striven to impart your particular brand of knowledge. Often it was like taking a dose of medicine—good for us, but hard to take. No doubt we have worried you, but when in turn our brains became fagged with an over-supply of Math., Social Studies, Science, or even by events of the night before, how pleasant it wasi to let up and relax by having a game of basketball or badminton. To those we leave behind, farewell. To you, we entrust the responsibility of carrying on the many school activities,—may your standards be high. As seniors may you seek not only to main¬ tain but to achieve even higher goals than we have reached in our attempt. To you we throw the torch, be yours to hold it high. Classmates, as we leave this school, we are following in the paths of hundreds who have gone out before us. What a record the history of Sunalta Graduates would make! They are scattered far and wide and many are known for their deeds of fame. What will our record be? Our country needs citizens who will do their duty. They are needed more than railways, speed-boats or airplanes. It is not in its wealth or even in its power, but in its upright men and women that a nation finds its true greatness. We may not all be prosperous, we cannot all win; but we can have high ideals and all do our best, to make this Canada of ours a better place in which to live. —WILDA OXLEY, 9B. 10 EDITORIAL Another year, another milestone, another Sunalta Junior High Annual. We, who are on the Executive of this Year Book, wish to extend our most grateful thanks to those who have helped make this book possible. We, graduating from this school, will always remember Sun¬ alta, where some of the happiest moments of our lives were spent. We have all tried to uphold the respected name of Sunalta and hope that those who come after us will do the same. This year is the first time our Annual has had separate pictures for each Grade IX student and of the Junior High teachers. We hope this will make us better able to remember our fine associations which we made during our years here, in the days which will come after. Childhood memories are a thing to be cherished and not to be for¬ gotten. There have been three new Junior High Teachers who came to our school this year. One of them, Mr. Anderson, very kindly consented to take over the responsibility of the Year Book Division of the Press Club. Thank you Mr. Anderson for your most able assistance. We respectfully dedicate this book to the former students of this school who are now in active service with His Majesty’s Forces. We wish them the strength, courage and resolution they may need in the struggle. —BETTY DENNIS, 9C. THE SUNALTA TATTLER The chief aim of the school paper is to foster a good spirit among the students, and to keep everyone in touch with the various activities around the school. The Tattler, in its fifth year of publication, has been com¬ pletely re-organized. Many new features, such as Workshop Shav¬ ings, Girls’ Page, and Literary Page, have been added. The average circulation for the year was approximately two hundred. We now have a large Exchange Department and are receiving papers from twenty schools. Eight of these are from the United States. The Tattler Staff is very grateful for the loyal support the students have given us during the past year, and for the untiring ef¬ forts of Mr. Dobson who acted in the capacity of adviser. I person¬ ally want to thank the staff for the able assistance they have given me during the year. The special reporters have been invaluable to us and have given us many interesting interviews and stories. To the staff of next year we wish every success and lots of luck during the coming year. —DON McDERMID, Editor-in-Chief. 11 MRANNIE fU ILSON HTj 3 ( ] § w ; :: ;,. ■ i TEACHERS ' BIOGRAPHIES Who’s the teacher we adore, Who makes us respect her more and more, Who is fun, and never a bore?

The organization was started by Miss Marjorie Agnew of Templeton Junior High School, Vancouver, and Sir Ernest MacMillan consented to have the club named in his honor. Since then the clubs have spread as far east as Regina. When the Junior High was organized at Sunalta in 1938, the club was started during a visit to Calgary of Sir Ernest MacMillan. He spoke to interested students on the benefit of fine arts in one’s life and the importance of knowing the rules about them, even if one never becomes proficient in any of them. The club’s membership has never been less than 125. We have had many leading artists as our guests. This ' year we had Miss Sparling, teacher of dramatics at Mount Royal College. Mrs. Dalton Jieffrey, soloist at Central United Church, told us something of Christ¬ mas Carols and sang some old and rather unusual ones. The Origin and Development of Music was presented by Mad¬ am Phyllis Chapman Clarke. Mr. Herbert Earle’s subject on Stage¬ craft and Make-up gave a great many practical hints to dramatics students. “What We See in Good Pictures” was Mr. Wesley Ir¬ win’s topic. Mr. Irwin is Art instructor at Western Canada, and his lecture was illustrated by beautiful colored slides. Miss Geneva Lent spoke on the Art and Handicraft of the Early Peoples. Miss Lent has done a great deal of research on this topic and new phases of thought were most interestingly presented. The last program of the year is to be given by Mollie Pierce Hamilton, pianist and Mary Tierney, violinist. They will play well known airs from favorite composers. Both these musicians are so well known, that they do not need any special introduction. The club is very grateful for the excellent work done by tie executive, Audrey Jean Oliver, Agnes Mackenzie and Bill Wheatlev. The sponsors of the club would like to impress upon the stu¬ dents that one doesn’t need to be an artist in any line to belong to the club. If you are interested in knowing something of the Arts you will be welcome. HANDICRAFT CLUB Throughout the year the Handicraft Club has designed and produced many useful as well as attractive articles, ranging from jelly bean necklaces, (which one of the boys tried to eat), to leather gloves and sweaters of numerous shapes and designs. The Handicraft Club, under the direction of Miss Marsha 1, ended a very active year with an enjoyable hike on May 10th, 1941. The members join with me in thanking Miss Marshall for her kind and cheerful supervision. -—Joan Chapman. 40 THE CHESS CLUB The Chess Club, under the able supervision of Mr. Cooper, has made great progress. We met every second Friday from 3.30 to 4 o’clock. Les Saunders acted as president, and Jim Adams as secretary for the year. At the first of the year a pyramid was made, with the more advanced players near the top. Then a tournament was started, with eight boys competing. The tournament and results are as follows: Madge Madge Pettigrew Madge Wincup Wincup Newcombe McAdam McAdam McAdam Wood McAdam Lindsay Lindsay Pilkington With the champion being McAdam. The club was enjoyed by all and we have had a very interest¬ ing term of chess. —J. McAdam, 8A. HI-Y NEWS The Sunalta Junior Hi-Y Club has been operating for three years, which is as iong as Sunalta Junior High has been been in existence. At the beginning of the year we elected our officers, who ire as follows: President, Jerry Hesson; Vice-President, Dick Hes- son; Secretary-Treasurer, Fred Cornett-Ching. At the beginning of the year we held our initiation ceremony and a social. This year George Morrison invited us to his home to hold our ritual. After the initiation, we had a good time playing games. During the year we had different speakers who spoke on different subjects. The first speaker of the year was Rev. Mr. Huband of Knox United Church, who gave a chalk-talk on “Look.” Then a few weeks later Mr. Hockey spoke to us on his experiences in a German Concentration Camp in the 1914-18 war. The next subject was “Sportsmanship” which was discussed by Les Thirwell, one of the players of the Calgary Stampeders. Just before Easter the annual Hi-Y Conference was held at Regina to which we sent a delegation of three: Bill Tynan, Jim May- 41 hew and George Morrison. These boys then came back and reported on the Conference to the Hi-Y. To top off our year, we are going to hold our annual camp out at the forks of the Ghost River. —Fred Cornett-Ching. THE FIRST AID CLUB The First Aid Club, sponsored by Miss Weston, began in the latter part of January. The members were girls from 9A and 9B. Our meetings were held Monday noons at 1 o’clock, and Tuesdays after four. Practical work was taken Monday, and lectures on Tues¬ day. The work covered was very interesting. In the early part of May, Dr. Oakley and Mrs. Hart gave the girls their Oral and Practi¬ cal examinations. The following passed their exams., and will receive Junior First Aid Certificates from the St. John ' s Ambulance Association in the early part of July: Betty Lou Allen, Megan Askew, Rosalie Brown, Isabel Griffiths, Muriel Hiron, Cathryn Jamieson, Wilda Oxley, Marjorie Spotswood, Bessie Ungless, Ruth Walker. GIRLS’ BADMINTON CLUB Sixteen girls made up the Badminton Club this year. Mr. Whittle, the instructor, gave the girls many pointers on how to be better badminton players. Throughout the winter months, the play¬ ers, on Wednesday at 4 o’clock, played doubles against other mem¬ bers. To close the season, a tournament was played. Pat Tait and Lorna Blondell were the winners. The following girls were members: Gloria Grey, Pat Tait, Lorna Blondell, Wilda Oxley. Jean Young, Jessie Gilhooley, Lois Hill, Marguerite Langdon, Joyce Glen, Dorothy Kent, Audrey Jean Oliver, Mary Huffman, Edith McCul¬ lough, Catherine Welsh, Peggy Elder, Iris McFarlane. Four of the girls went to play in the city finals, and we con¬ gratulate them, as well as the boys for coming third. THE INTERIOR DECORATING CLUB The Interior Decorating Club, sponsored by Miss Clare, has enjoyed a successful year. Our executive was as follows: President, Pat Adams; Vice-President, Elinor Walker: Secretary-Treasurer. Dorothy Williams. Mary Bailie, our former Secretary, deserves credit for her work at the beginning. 42 Our first project was to collect pictures of different rooms and make them into scrap books. After commencing work on our books, we undertook to re-decorate the Teachers’ Room. This was financed by the Home and School Association. Material for drapes, cushions, and curtains was bought. A screen is being made by the boys in their shop classes. The room is progr essing nicely and shows a great deal of improvement. During the winter an enjoyable party was held at the home of Lorraine Neuss. A few weeks ago we visited Eaton ' s and were given a most interesting talk by Miss Steeves, the Interior Decorator. On the 17th of May we closed our club with a hike. We returned weary and sun-burned but all agreed it had been a pleasant ending. We would like to thank Miss Clare on behalf of the members for all she has done for us thfp year. —Dorothy Glenfield. STAMP CLUB The Sunalta Stamp Club, with a membership of twenty-one, has had a very successful year under the leadership of Miss Weston. At our first meeting the following people were elected as officers: President, John McIntyre; Vice-President, Jim Webb; Sec¬ retary-Treasurer, Doreen Woodfield. Program Committee: Harvey Ursenbach, Audrey Severson, Russell Powell. Constitutional Com¬ mittee: Lucille Ursenbach, Dalwin Stanford. During the year we have had a talk on stamps by Don Heim- becker and also by Mr. Selby Walker, one of Calgary’s well-known stamp collectors. Mr. Walker showed us many different stamps, also interesting ways to arrange them in our albums. We also had two Quizs. At other meetings we auctioned stamps, picked stamps from a box, and had a stamp hunt. During most of the meetings some time was spent in trading stamps and arranging them. Now, most of the members have well-arranged and neat al¬ bums. The first prize, awarded by Miss Weston, for the most im¬ provement in a stamp collection, was won by Dalwin Stanford. The second prize, a Penny Black, presented by Mr. Selby Walker, was won by Phyllis Williamson. Special prizes were presented to John McIntyre and Don Heimbecker who have especially fine stamp col¬ lections. This has brought to a close a very interesting and enjoyable club year. —Secretary, Doreen Woodfield. THE HELP THE WAR CLUB Twenty members of Sunalta Junior High decided to give their club periods to helping the war, and considering their small number, have done excellent work. 43 The officers were: President, Audrey Bjordal; Vice-President, James Brown; Secretary, Margaret Michell; Treasurer, Winston Foster; Sponsor, Miss Wilson. A large bundle of clothing for refugees was collected for the Red Cross. While the boys wound wool, the girls knitted. The result was six pairs of socks, two scarves, three pairs of mitts, and two afghans. A Valentine’s Candy Sale was very successful, netting $15.50 of which a cheque for $13.00 was turned over to the Red Cross, the remainder being spent on wool. The year’s activities wound up with a very pleasant gathering at the home of Betty Fair- burn. Afghans were sewn, and refreshments .enjoyed. With a hearty “Down with Hitler’’ the club disbanded. —Winston Foster. TONETTE CLUB The “tooting” of the tonettes is probably a well known sound around the school. We won’t say a pleasant sound as we dislike contradiction. Only a very elementary knowledge of music is needed to learn this instrument and after a little practice, almost any melody can be played. Other instruments harmonize nicely with the tonette and can form the basis of an orchestra. The club, assisted by some other instruments, are playing several numbers at the school concert. The members of the executive of the club are: Ernie Rad- cliffe, President, and .Violet Bremner, Secretary-Treasurer. The sponsor is Miss Rannie. The prize for the best collection and mounting of Tonette music was won by Violet Bremner and Ruth Walker. - 8 - SKETCH CLUB Members: Bob Appleton, Randle Brereton, Terry Clark.

THE LEATHER CRAFT CLUB Under the able leadership of Mr. Whittle, the Leather Craft Club has proven itself successful. This club was made up of fourteen girls and seven boys. The students have made various kinds of leather articles, such as change purses, key cases, scrissor-cases, etc. First the design was worked on paper and later transferred onto the leather, then the leather was dampened and worked with a special -ool; this process is called leather tooling. Finally the leather was punched and put together with thonging and snap fasteners. During the last two meetings, Mr. Whittle taught the girls and boys how to solder, put electric sockets together and sharpen knives and scissors. The members of his club have enjoyed it immensely. The grade eight members are looking forward to joining it again next year. —M. Spotswood. PRESS CLUB Our Press Club has been broken into two sections. Those who have helped with the school paper and those who have put out the Fear Book. Mr. Dobson has been the advisor for the paper, while Mr. Anderson as been in charge of the year book. Marks of progress are attained only through improvement, and both divisions have worked hard to improve their enterprise. We feel that both the school paper and year book are bigger and better than ever. We shall let you be judge. The club members feel they have had a busy and successful year. May those following us have success in the future enterprises. 45 THE RADIO CLUB This club was organized late in the fall to take the place of the Safe Driving Club. A number of boys brought materials of various kinds and a study was made of wireless construction. Two boys from the Technical School gave an interesting talk on the electric eye and other electrical apparatus at one meeting. Frank Brock helped the club greatly with his interesting talks. The club was sponsored by Mr. Dobson. EDITING Getting out this annual is no picnic, If we print jokes people say we are silly. If we clip things from other magazines. We are too lazy to write them ourselves, If we don’t we are stuck on our own stuff, If we stick close to the job all day. We ought to be out hunting up news. If we do get out and try to hustle, We ought to be on the job in the office. If we don ' t print contributions, We don’t appreciate true genius, If we do print them the column is filled with junk, If we make a change in the other fellow’s write-up. We are too critical; If we don’t, we are asleep. Now like as not, some one will say. We swiped this from some magazine. Right, we did! —Adapted by Keith Watson. SKI TROUBLES Whenever I attempt to ski, A white and peaceful-looking hill, Becomes a mocking enemy, As if it wanted me to spill. My skis act strangely too, I test That north slope with my feet just so, Yet one goes East and one skids West, And where am I? Head first in snow. —Beryl Charman, 8C. 46 ABOUT THE SCHOOL . . .

His life, a cherished memory. Held safe within our hearts, For his was a life of victory. Which helps us play our parts. For his was a noble sacrifice, Joy he brought to the world, For this, his health he paid the price; To this task all his strength was hurled. In doing ' his duty he died. For he was so generous and pure, He humbled himself by our side. Governor General Lord Tweedsmuir. —Bill Wheatley, 8C.

CANADIAN UTILITIES LIMITED ! 49 SOCIETY As the school year comes to a close, it is nice to sit back and reflect on the past year. We have a good year with many good times to look back on. December 13th stands out in our minds, for it was the eve of the first Lit. at our school. We had as our guests last year’s presi¬ dent, the Vice-President, and Mr. Florendine, who left our school in November to take a post at Western Canada. Three merry hours were spent by everyone. A splendid pro¬ gramme was given after which dancing took place. Dancing of every kind was presented, including a Spot Dance, which was won by Margaret Bgjclay and Evelyn Boon, and an Elimination Dance, won by Vida Wood and Jack Brock. Refreshments were served after which Margaret Holland pre¬ sented Mr. Florendine with a gift in appreciation for his fine work and the interest he had taken in the school during the past five years. Dancing proceeded and a grand evening came to an end with the playing of “God Save The King. 52 OUR SECOND LIT. This was held on February 28th, 1941, and started at the usual time of 8 o ' clock. The dramatic class enacted a play, “Figureheads,” directed by Miss Wilson. Dancing began at 8.45 and refreshments were served at 9.30, after which the dancing continued. There were a few novelty dances such as Bingo, Elimination won by Joyce Elliot and Lyle Jackson, and a Spot Dance won by Jioyce Galbraith and Gerry Hesson. At both Lits. music was provided by the Rhythmaires and a snappy good time was had by all. THE SEVEN’S AND EIGHT’S SKATING PARTY The Grade Seven s and Eight’s held a skating party in the Couley Rink on Friday, January 24th. The party started at 7.30 and ended at 9. Dancing took place at the school until refreshments were served. Entertainment was provided which was appreciated by all. At 10.30 a weary group trudged home. STAFF TEA IN HONOR OF MISS ANDERSON AND MR. FLORENDINE A tea was held in December in the Staff Room in honor of Miss Anderson, who taught at our school last year, and Mr. and Mrs. Florendine. Refreshments were served during the afternoon. Mrs. Campbell poured the Tea. Later Miss Anderson was presented with a bracelet, a token of appreciation from the staff for her work here last year. Mrs. Florendine received a ' beautiful corsage. As a farewell gift from the staff, who had enjoyed so well his wit and humor and co-operation for the past five years, Mr. Florendine was presented with an exqui¬ site Ronson lighter. OUR GRADUATION DANCE In a colorfully attractive decorated hall, with Patriotic decora¬ tions as the theme, our Graduation Dance was held on June 6th. Everyone was gay in summer attire, and to make the occasion even more festive, novelties were given each one as he entered. Even all the teachers were present for the occasion. a The programme centered around a quiz contest, with the comi¬ cal side coming to the fore w’hen several couples picked from the audience, came up on the‘stage and competed in a contest. The 53 surprise for these people came when they discovered the girl had to feed the boys who were on their knees, out of a baby’s bottle. An hilarious few minutes took place. Dancing followed and everybody participated with gleeful joy. Refreshments were served and the happy group departed. To the Home and School Association, who for the past two years have sponsored this party, we are deeply indebted, and extend to them our grateful appreciation and thanks. —Nessie Lochhead and Joan Wilkes.

The youth of today is the adult of tomorrow. But the Bible states, “That without vision the people perish.’’ So if Canada is to fulfill her supreme destiny, it will be achieved by youth with broad visions. Our country has vast resources. Much of the mineral wealth is unknown. The Laurentian Plateau of Northern Canada has the gold, silver, nickle, copper, zinc and platinum that, to some extent, rescued Canada from the great depression of 1930. The pitchblend deposits of Great Bear Lake, have cut the price of radium in half. We have all the natural essentials for further great industries and vast development, except cheap coal. Our inexpensive water power can replace that. It is quite possible that huge plants will produce ammonia nitrates and other products from our natural gas. Canada has vast forests, about one and a quarter million square miles. This is the home of numbers of game and birds, and is the basis of many new industries—rayon, etc. Our arctic prairies “where the heather blooms and the valleys supply food for the caribou” is not a barren country. After the war thousands will come to us from bomb-shelled Europe. We have food for them and will welcome those believing in freedom and democracy. The destiny of Canada, the third largest country in the world, is not dark despite the war. Right must win if we all vitally do our part. When the war is won, the St. Lawrence project will be realized and ships of the world will dock in the heart of our country—Fort William and Port Arthur. Canada now carries more freight by air than any other country. This will be increased. The air route over Northern Canada, from London to Shanghai, is 4,000 miles less than by New York across the Pacific. John MacCormac, journalist, prodicts that this country will become the shipping centre of the United Kingdom, as her foreign investments are greatest on this hemisphere. United States, Canada and Australia are also her best customers. Canadian industries can not easily be bombed. Canada is beautiful. She has peaceful valleys, snow-capped mountains, and many safe harbors. Roads will be improved and com¬ merce extended. Canada will become the tourist mecca. Canada’s real destiny will be freedom. “Here all will have equal opportunity. Work for those able to work. Security for those who need it.” Free education, both academic and university, for those who show aptitude. Free medicine and hospitalization. Higher standards of living and shorter hours of labor due to efficient machin¬ ery.. Houses of moderate cost will be built and financed by the government; unemployment insurance established. With shorter 55 hours of labor we shall have time to enjoy the finer things of life: art, science and music. So that out of the Turmoil of Europe, shall arise a glorious Canadian Nation. With vision our nation shall be THE LAND OF PROMISE.” -—Wilda Oxley. (This was a prize winning essay). WE MUST LIVE We must fight and then go on! To uplift rights and bury the wrong. To keep this land we love, as free As our home’s land across the sea. To hold our hopes and cherish pride, So in our home love still abides. So hold the fight and love good cheer For right is might and God is here. Though armies tramp and men do die, There are these words, that lift to skies ‘‘We must fight, and then go on, To uplift right and bury wrong.” And as we watch our men go by. They cheer, they sing, and hold heads high. And now home friends do not fear. For right is might and God is here. —Raymond Pilkington, 8C. IT MIGHT HAVE HAPPENED The day dawned brightly. The sun’s rays shone brightly into Tom’s room. It was Saturday. Tom jumped out of bed and ran to the top of the stairs. “Mom,” he yelled, “have you packed my lunch?” “Yes, Tom,” answered his mother. In a minute he was downstairs. Taking his lunch he rushed out the door without saying good-bye or even having his breakfast. It was a glorious morning. The sun was like a ball of fire in the sky. He ran along the road with his dog for some distance, and then turned down a shady lane. “It’s a good thing only you and I know about this fishing spot. Tippy,” he said. 56 Halfway down the lane he turned into a path which led to a blue lake. Running down the path he came to a boat hidden under the reeds. He jumped in and without pausing a second, cast off from shore. In the middle of the lake he let down his line and leaned back in the boat sighing happily. But his happiness was short lived. Soon dark clouds overcast the blue sky, and the rumbling of thunder and streaks of lightning was upon him. Soon the boat was rocking and the waves were lapping over it. Clinging to Tippy, Tom began to sob, “We’ll both be killed, I know we will,” he sobbed. The waves began to die down but then rain started in torrents. For hours it seemed, Tom sat in the rocking boat. He was cold and wet. Tippy began to bark. Tom looked at the shore. “There’s a light,” he cried. “Maybe some one is here to save us!” “Tom, Tom,” a voice cried. “Where are you?” In a minute Tom found his voice and answered, “Out here in a boat.” In less than five minutes Tom was in the arms of his father and on his way home with Tippy following wearily. “I wished I knew how someone besides me knew of that spot. Dad. It was certainly lucky, for otherwise I’d never have been found.” —Elaine Walker, 9D. SOUTH AMERICAN FACTS These facts have been compiled by Ernie Radcliffe and Jim White of 8C. Both boys lived in South America for 11 or 12 years. Jim White was born in Talara, Peru, and lived there until just two years ago. His father was with the International Petroleum Company. He speaks Spanish and is learning French. Jim hopes he will not have to live here the rest of his life but would like to return to his native haunts. He says the country is slightly up on that of ours for less clothing needs to be worn and things are freer, such as hunting, fishing. Everything is right at one’s back door. He came out through the Panama Canal and thence to Jamaica, from where he proceeded to New York, and on to Calgary. Ernie lived in Barranca, Columbia. It is down the Magdelena River from Bogota, the capitaj. He flew out as far as Panama from where he took the same route via steamer as Jim. He also speaks Spanish and likes South America too well to ever leave there for good. He says the flowers, birds, trees, are all much nicer than ours. The cost of living is very high. Prior to his coming to C anada, he had always gone to England for his vacation. One of the mysterious wonders of South American countries is that of the shrunken heads, unknown to the white man. The na¬ tives of Ecuador and Colombia are noted for these mysterious doings. A poncho is one of the most valuable pieces of clothing to the natives. It is worn in the mountains for warmth. They have a wide 57 variety of color and are made remarkably well by hand. These ponchos resemble a large blanket and have a slit in the middle to put the head through. Instead of pack-horses and donkeys, they use llamas and burros in Peru and other South American countries. Along the flat coastal plains are a series of tiny railroads and stations. The common natives live in small huts made of mud and corn stalks. Hammocks are used for sleeping purposes. The natives eat great quantities of starchy vegetables. Their bread is made from uka, which is a root. It is cooked and then beaten to a powder. Fishing and hunting are indulged in, in most parts. Licenses are not necessary, except for guns, so one can hunt or fish at any time of the year. side of the Andes are large tropical jungles. These are filled with many disease-spreading pests. There are great mineral deposits there, too. Gold, oil, salt, silver and mercury are among the valuable minerals found. Many tropical fruits are grown on the large plantations and a lot of them are shipped to North American ports. Among the fruits are bananas, oranges, lemons, limes, paltas, mangos and coconuts. Candies and apples are highly priced because of the scarcity. An apple costs between ten and fifteen cents. To end this bit of information we advise you to take a trip to South America some time and see the beauties and wonders of the place which we cannot fully describe here. THE FARM I like to see the little pigs go dashing to and fro, I like to see contented cattle lift their heads and low, I like to see the blackbirds perch on roof and barn, I like to see these things down on the farm—■ And yet there’s home! I like to see the happy robins build their nests in glee, I like to see the chipmunk go scampering! up a tree; I like to see the little roosters stand upon their toes, And flap their wings and try so hard to crow— And yet there’s home! I like to see the farmer ploughing in the field, I like to see the hired man, the heavy pitch-fork wield. I like to see the windmill so very very tall, I like to hear the old horse stamp impatiently in the stall— And yet there’s home! I like to see the old hen with chicks gathered round, I like to see them eat as they scratch the ground, It’s fun to see the cow after she’s led you through the mud, Stand on the side of the puddle and calmly chew her cud. And yet there’s home! —Peggy Elder, 8C. 58 A NEW ENVIRONMENT FOR THE R.A.F. Arriving at Halifax, May 5th, 1941, the R.A.F. caught the train two hours later. After seven days of beautiful scenery and rolling prairies, the troops landed in Calgary where they are now stationed at No. 31, E.F.T.S. Here they will train for pilots. For the past two years the boys had been without lights of any description, so were more than fascinated by so many bright lights in the streets and homes of our city. The whistle of a train is so much like the air-raid sirens in England, that for the first few days the young men were in Calgary, they looked frantically about for an air-raid shelter at the sound of any whistle. They were so used to helping in an air-raid that at the sound of a bang behind them, two of the young men began to run up the street calling Where’s that air-raid shelter? Get in that air-raid shelter!” People turning to look at them with amusement and amaze¬ ment made them stop and look sheepishly behind them, only to find that a group of small boys had playfully thrown a firecracker at them. As the planes fly over Calgary the boys recall the time they spent in England, since the planes remind them of “the lads returning from a bombing expedition.” The men used to count the planes as they went out and count them as they returned to see how many had arrived home safely. They nave a very high opinion of Canada and are amazed at its vastness, but would sooner be back in England to look after fam¬ ilies, wives and friends. The people of Calgary have been very hospitabel to the boys in the R.A.F. by inviting them to their homes, arranging parties for them, and also by taking the young fellows on pleasure trips to Banff and other such places. From what we gather the girls are very respectable young ladies, but wear far too much of the cosmetics and as one young fellow states, “leave a dreadful trade-mark with which to return to barracks.” Although many delightful times are spent in the city, the boys are disappointed in not having theatres open on Sunday. The confectioneries of Calgary now have to get a larger supply of the old English brand of cigarettes, “Players Medium”, so as to keep the boys well and happy. English Expressions: Cake - and - Ham Tram, Street Car. Paddy, in a temper. Shilling Dinner, like a fool. Get clacking, get busy. Fillie-tarts, girls. Flicks, theatres. Howta, how are you.

Its portals are lofty o’er-looking the Bow, God blessed Sunalta by placing her so. Her teachers and students are honest and fair, They face life with courage and with not a care. For we are the ones who believe in fair play, At home, at school or far away. So, Good Luck to Sunalta, her teachers, her friends, With sorrow we leave you to see you again. For if fortune favors, and best hopes come true, Sunalta we all will be thinking of you. —Wilda Oxley. Newspaper Errors A Wisconsin country paper contained these interesting items: ‘‘The procession at Judge Orton’s funeral was very fine and nearly two miles in length, as was the beautiful prayer of the Rev. Dr. Thwing of Chicago. ‘‘A cow was struck by lightning on Saturday belonging to Dr. Ham¬ mond who had a beautiful spotted calf only four days old.” “A sad accident happened to the family of John Eldridge on Main Street yesterday. One of his children was run over by a market wagon three years old with sore eyes and pantalets on that never spoke afterwards.” A Narrow Escape Three Scotchmen were in church one Sunday morning when the minister made a strong appeal for some worthy cause, hoping that everyone in the congregation would give at least one dollar or more. The three Scots became very nervous as the collection plate neared them. One of them finally fainted and the other two carried him out. The difference between a Scotchman and a canoe—a canoe tips. “Willie, do you believe the devil will get you if you ' re naughty?” “Dunno about that; but I know I’ll get the devil if I’m found out.” e PHOTOGRAPHS IN THIS YEAR BOOK BY GLEN McGREGOR • 60 LICENSED CLEANER JAMES Storage and Cartage Co.

Sunalta won the city Junior High School Shield at Victoria Arena on Saturday’ March 8th, after a most thrilling and spectacular game with Colonel Walker. Sunalta took their first game with a 7-2 victory over Victoria and took the second one with a 6-4 win vs. James Short. In the semi-finals, Sunalta beat Langevin 2-1, and in the final game won against Colonel Walker 2-1. During our last game the boys showed their metal to the ut¬ most. Our goalie, Walker, outshone himself and his previous bright record. Stew Pettigrew got the first goal, while Wally Green col¬ lected a second. The players were: G. Swick, B. Tynan, G. Hesson, J. Willits, L. Saunders, R. Rutledge, W. Green, S. Pet tigrew, D. Hesson, B. Loomer, T. Shields, and our goalie, Gordon Walker. Mr. Anderson coached the senior hockey to the finals and victory. Our school was greatly indebted to the Home and School Association this year for their donation of hockey equipment, with¬ out which our splendid showing would not have been possible. The Juniors won their first game from Balmoral with a score of 5-2, and lost their second game to James Short with a 5-1 defeat. The junior and senior teams held their practices up at the Bankview Rink. During Mr. Anderson’s absence we were indebted to Mr. White and thank him for coaching our teams during that period. 64 JUNIOR BOYS’ BASEBALL Mr. White looked after the junior boys’ baseball arid has drawn up a school schedule and line-up.

ROONEY’S GARAGE j 15th Ave. and 1st St. W. j • DONATED Phones: Office M3019 Service M3619 Res. R1813 i ] � 1 BY A FRIEND I 67 GIRLS’ BASEBALL Team: C. Welsh, L. Blondell, J. Gilhooley, B. Breedon, A. Currie, S. Smith, J. Hughes, B. Dennis, E. Sutfin, J; Glenn, G. Horn, D. Fay. The first game of the season was played with Connaught at the latter’s diamond with Sunalta losing 9-12. A schedule was drawn up among the grade 9’s to play against each other. GIRLS’ BADMINTON Under the fine supervision of Mr. Whittle, the girls had a very successful badminton season. Gloria Grey, Jessie Gilhooley, Pat Tait and Iris MacFarlane, were the contestants who competed in the Annual Badminton Tournament, which took place at the Cal¬ gary Badminton Club on March 22nd. Sunalta finished third, but with more practice we could have done better. As this was the first attempt at badminton for several players, we consider the season a complete success. Pat Tait and Lorna Blondell won the school tourn¬ ament. GIRLS’ BASKETBALL Senior Team: Shirley Smith, Eleanor McAndrew, Jessie Gil¬ hooley, Joyce Glenn, A. J. Oliver, Nellie Parker, Grace Horn, Eileen Sutfin, Ruth Hurlburt. The first game of the season was played at Sunalta against Rideau with Rideau coming out victors with a score of 25-21. A return game was played at Rideau with Rideau again the victors with a close score of 18-17. A game played with Connaught saw Sunalta come ' out victorious with a score of 16-10. A return game was played at Sunalta with Sunalta winning by a large margin of 30-4. The season was wound up by playing Haultain, who won by a score of 24-14. George Swick and Art Parker coached the girls through a successful season. When the junior basketball season began this year, there were sufficient girls in the junior weight class to make six teams. Two of these teams were girls who had played before, so it was decided they would be included in the senior schedule. The four remaining teams were then coached by G. Swick and A. Parker. They later formed a House League and many interesting and worthwhile games were played. The final game in the league contest was stiffly opposed with Tait’s Tornadoes of 8C winning by a small majority. These girls then challenged the junior team from the senior schedule and won with a score of 15-9. The junior basketball was exceptionally good this year and much of the credit goes to the two boys who turned out so regularly to help the girls. I believe these teams will make excellent seniors next year. 68 GIRLS’ TRACK MEET On October 8th, Sunalta again competed in the annual City- Field Day, and doing much better than former years, came second with 48 points. A. J. Oliver, the outstanding star of the senior girls, made an individual score of 9 points and came first in the 75 yard dash and second in the high jump. The senior girls came second in the relay and third i n the running broad jump, and fourth in the baseball throw. In the intermediate section, V. Bremner was a star, coming first in the 75 yard dash, and third in the running broad jump. C. Welsh came fourth in the high jump for the junior division. She (playfully): “Let me chew your gum.’’ He: “Which one, upper or lower?” “What are you crying for, my little man?” “I lost the race. My brother and me were having a race to see which could lean furthest out of the window, and he won.” !

A Horse Laugh A farmer was consulting a Vet. about a sick horse. The Vet. was explaining, To feed the horse this medicine, you place it in a pipe about three feet long, put this in the horse’s mouth and blow it down his throat.” A few minutes later the farmer returned and cried out, “I’m dying!” The inquisitive Vet. at that asked, “What’s wrong?” To which the farmer replied that the horse had blown first.

I tried bucking the wind, but couldn’t stand up, so I put curry combs on my knees and crawled up to the mouth. It was no use, though, for when I turned on my flashlight the force of the wind blew the light beam right back out at me and I couldn ' t see where I was going.” “Waiter, there’s a fly in my soup.” “The poor thing must have lost its balance. It was sitting on the edge of the bowl when I brought the soup in.” “The other way down, madam,” called out the street car con¬ ductor as the portly charwoman was descending at the driver’s end. “You’re mighty fussy now there’s a war on,” grunted the erring one, as she turned around and started down backwards.
