E. A. S. Some years ago oil was discovered in Turner Valley. A little later Calgary experienced an oil boom. This boom was probably very much like other booms, gold booms, land booms, general stock booms, etc. Now we are sadder, and wiser —perhaps. The brutality of it all stands out in its naked ugliness as we look back. At that time the streets were filled with strangers with flinty countenances who were here then but away today, ready to repeat the programme wherever opportunity offers. Why were they here? Not to boom Calgary indeed, but to utilize the conditions they found and created to get rich. The wealth they gathered did not come out of the ground but out of the pockets of peaceful Calgary citizens, some wealthy and able to lose it without disaster, others of moderate means who needed their money for the comforts and necessities of life, but very many who had nothing to lose without sacrificing food, clothing and shelter. All these things were well known to the fraternity. The skeptic who questioned the possibilities of all getting rich simply had to take to cover. These strangers were all “optimists.” What has been the result of this experience ? Many have lost money they could well have put into the legitimate channels of trade. This is by no means the most serious result. The searing of social conscience is all too evident. Per¬ haps the distress of the present depression and a sweeping revival of religious belief and practice will quicken this lost sensibility. If so, the depression, will serve a very useful purpose. If not, we are headed for still worse conditions. At present the hungry have to be fed. The feeding of the hungry is surely com¬ mendable but the manoeuvring that takes place to make the other fellow pay the bill must surely make the angels weep. What of the future? Will the coming generation be any wiser? Can they be helped ?, Something may be done by legislation. We are apt however to expect too much from legislation. Unless people are well informed and sane in their judgments, methods for parting them from their earnings will surely be found. I erhaps an honest consideration of the ethics of the boom might be a protection in the future, and perhaps a few fundamental economic principles might be en- giaved on the cover of the family cash book. Some of these principles are so old as to be familiar proverbs and on that very account are not considered a part of school philosophy. It might be a good thing if we were persuaded (1) That the ethics involved in trying to get something for nothing is at best questionable; (2) That oil or other shares sold at a gain perhaps, have been passed on, to be paid by the life savings or food and shelter of those left with them, when often the shares have ceased to have any market value; (3) That to play a hard-faced stranger or a hard-faced fellow-citizen for that matter, at his own game, is to invite disaster; (4) That sound investments always have to be sought, and are never peddled about among the non-financial classes. If a fortune is to be made those selling these investments would be only too ready to make it; (5) That the purchase of shares which owe their market value to market manipulation, and not to the prospect of dividends from the enterprises involved, is simply gambling, and ethically and economically unsound. BOOK Page nine HateMrtmi By GRACE EGLESTQN We who stood at the crossroads last June bid the students and staff of old Western good-bye. Everyone has had the experience of looking back over a road which has been travelled. One experiences a sense of accomplishment and of being ready for bigger and wider experiences. Yet, as we, the graduate class, look back over a somewhat difficult journey, our reminiscences are tinged with regret. What a host of memories the words “good old Western” call to our minds. Life-long friends we have made, the faces of sympathetic teachers, busy halls, laughter, hilarious rugby games, and the hush of the examination room. GRACE EGLESTQN But now the vital question—“What are we going to do ? ” In these times of stress it seems almost impossible to choose an occupation which is not already overcrowded. Because of circumstances, some cannot be trained for the work they have chosen. Let us not lose sight of our ideals! The hardships which we are enduring now and trying to overcome are character builders. We must not forget that we all have a place to fill, a duty to do and it is our responsibility to take advantage of our opportunities. And what have these four or five years meant to us ? Has it merely been a cramming of technical facts and laws, the acquiring of a piece of paper which says we have obtained Senior Matriculation ? Happily not. Our comradeship and life together, the associations we have formed in class and on the athletic field have meant much more to -us. These are the things which will have an indelible effect upon us and will be remembered long after dates and formulae have been forgotten. We can’t all be captains, we’ve got to be crew, There’s something for all of us here; There’s big work to do, and we all must be true, To the task which we find close at hand. If you can’t be a highway, then just be a trail, If you can’t be the sun be a star; It isn’t by size that you win or you fail. Be the best of whatever you are. Page ten YEAR iEfottoml EN AYANT W. LLOYD HUTTON The Year Book of 1933 is humbly submitted for your approval. This year’s edition has been somewhat reduced in size in the interests of economy. A reduction of five cents in price has been made, which should compensate somewhat for this reduction in size. An innovation this year is the write-ups of the Grade XI’s. This has been done in order to give the book a wider personal appeal. The most costly item of this publication is the cuts. As the amount of money at our disposal for this purpose was very limited, it was necessary to reduce their number. The Committee takes this opportunity of thanking the student body for the very loyal way in which they have given their financial support to the Year Book. They also desire to thank all those who gave freely of their ' time and advice, especially Mrs. Robertson, Mrs. Bagnall and Mr. Stewart. It has been stated that a year book should faithfully and accurately mirror the life of the school, should help to make intelligible the spirit of the school and should in some measure arouse and inspire the school to finer and better effort for the coming years. If this edition of the Year Book can be said to do any of these things, then the Committee will be well-pleased and well-repaid for its efforts in connection with the book.

Winter auii Spring By BETTY COLLEY (4) Wind-swept ice, ermine and silver, Silent lay the shining river, Dark the pines against the sky, Feathery snow-clouds up on high. Silence lays her pall o’er all, Save for intermittent fall Of breaking ice and crackling frost; All in wintry death is lost. Rippling tide and roaring fall, Surging current runs through all; Whirling eddy, singing rill, Serenaded by skylark’s trill. Growing grass and daisies white, Murmuring breeze and sunshine bright, Pines light green against the blue, All earth sings of life anew. Page fourteen YEAR Ait Steumr The first class who have taken their entire four years in Western Canada is about to graduate. For four years the pen of the recording angel has traced your doings at Western. Since your arrival in ’29 you have been making history for us and yourselves. We have enjoyed your presence, your individual gifts and your achievements. You have worked and. played with us these few years. In the exchange of opinions and ideas, in the contact of personalities, you have experienced intellectual combat, latent abilities have been developed and important lessons have been learned which will be of great value in future years. In the faithful discharge of common-place tasks, and in more adventurous undertakings you have displayed a willingness and a capacity for shouldering responsibility, and a desire to attempt that which is difficult. These few years of training have equipped you with a general knowledge and a preparation for what lies before you, be it University, Normal or Business. Confidently expecting that you will some day, somewhere, make good, we see you go forth into a larger sphere of opportunity. Your happiest days are not done, they are only beginning. Your own special niche in life awaits each one of you. Go forward, and occupy it. In your new duties, your further study, you will find something grip¬ ping, and something more vital than you have known here. When to the sessions of sweet silent thought I summon up remembrance of things past, I sigh the lack of many a thing I sought. —Shakespeare. pjntuQrapij By K.C. Hast ever had thy picture (portrait, pardon me) taken? No! Well hearken unto the words of a veteran. It is the custom at our school for the graduating class to have their photo¬ graphs printed in the Year Book for the edification and amusement (mostly the latter) of the other students. This being the case, one afternoon I found myself in the studio of a certain photographer. This man took one look at me and pushed me into a small cubby-hole, equipped with a comb, brush, tooth-brush and mirror. On emerging, looking very much like Clark Gable, as I thought, I heard the arch¬ fiend in charge mutter, “Hmm! He’s gotta flat nose, I’ll have to shoot him from the front.” I hurriedly assured him that my mother knew where I was and if I failed to come home she would know where to find the body. This seemed to frighten him for he dived behind a camera and covered his head with a blanket. After a time, apparently reassured, he emerged from his wigwam. “You’ve got a slight squint,” he informed me in much the same tone of voice as that which was no doubt adopted by the g’entleman who Brought the Good News from Ghent to Aix. With this thrust he disappeared again, this time I hoped for good, as his conversation was beginning to sicken me. 1 was doomed to disap¬ pointment as he bobbed up again. “Your complexion is too pale,” he told me, at the same time turning on enough high-powered lamps to correct Nature’s little slip by providing me with a sun-bum. Having done this, he appeared to be sure that science could do nothing more toward the improvement of my appearance, and without more ado he took two exposures of me. As I rose to leave, he approached me and said, “I’ll have to touch up that negative a bit as one of your ears is larger than the other, and ...” With a scream I rushed from the studio, and fleeing down the first dark lane hid myself until friendly darkness enabled me to slink home unseen.

Page sixteen YEAR (in tiw liar nf (iur (Eamjma bn tin JJubltr By LLOYD HUTTON A problem which is daily becoming more and more serious is the use of our campus by the general public. The campus is being used as a short-cut between Seventeenth and Twentieth Avenues, as a neighborhood playground, as a place to practice one’s golf strokes and as a park. Every day we see a stream of men with their dinner pails trekking across our campus where the grass was once green. Every day we see embryo golfers striving manfully to smack the elusive ball, but only succeeding in uprooting several inches of our once soft turf. Every day we see children at their games—run, sheep, run; farmer’s in his dell, and all the rest of them—stampeding up and down, killing the grass which was once so plentiful. With conditions as they are, we cannot blame the public. It is human nature to attempt to save time, and with the gates beckoning them we cannot censure the workmen for taking a short-cut across the campus. With no playground in the vicinity, it is to be expected that the children will flock to our campus to obtain the space required for their games. The golfers, too, like a place near home where they can keep their eyes in, and perfect their swing. Nevertheless, the situation is serious and is constantly becoming more so. We now have a trench inches deep and about a foot and a half wide traversing our campus from the south-east to the north-west comers. This trench, unfor¬ tunately, cuts right across the lawn in front of the building, and this lawn was just seeded last year. We have a baseball diamond right in the middle of the rugby field with the path between the bases clearly defined by a ditch several inches deep, with each base and pitcher’s box surrounded by a pot-hole several feet in diameter. We have a path stretching from the south gate to the steps of the boys’ entrance. We state right here that if this condition is not changed and changed soon, and if rugby is played on this gridiron this fall, some unfortunate youth will suffer a broken leg, if not worse. The situation cannot be laid entirely at the foot of the general public. Our own students are responsible in some measure for these paths which criss-cross the campus. This spring, after school hours when water was lying on the field and no one should have been on it, bicycles ridden by our fellow students were running merrily over the field, throwing up clods of mud and adding to the general disorder and confusion. We have also seen some of our own students enjoying a game of polo on bicycles, again at a time when the field was covered with water. A little internal co-operation can relieve conditions considerably. So far, we have devoted our time to criticism of a destructive nature. We would like to make a few suggestions which, we believe, would entirely eradicate the trouble. We would first wire up the gate at the south-east comer. We would then extend the red shale walk, at the west side of the building, south between the fence along College Lane and the fence along the gridiron to the south fence, then east to the present set of gates on Twentieth Avenue. We believe that these changes are not only practical but absolutely neces¬ sary. With proper attention and care our grounds could be the finest of any school in the city, without exception. If things continue as they are, they will be merely a huge mud-hole in the spring and fall, a dust-patch in the summer, and generally just an eye-sore. We have mulled over this problem for some time. Unless some changes are made, and made soon, some unfortunate lad will, this fall, trip in one of these trenches or fall into one of these pot-holes and serious consequences will result; consequences moreover, which can be prevented if action along the lines suggested is taken. Wake up, Western! Wake up, School Board!

M1NCHIN—Jack’s shy little smile peeks out now and then as if to say, “Here I am, what about it?” Jack excelled himself in hockey and rugby, and Class I can well be proud of him. His curly hair will some day cause him trouble, but let that pass. GARNET FREEMAN NELSON—Garnet has been coming to our school so long he is tired of it. He seems to say, “Work and worry have killed a lot of people, so why should I take a chance.” Garnet is going to Normal next year.

GILDA VERA DICK—Mr. Collier complains that only an adding machine can total Gilda’s absences.

Behold a future journalist of great note —hence, Varsity next year. ISABELLE McROBERTS—Isabelle’s name as well as her locks of Titian hue betray her descent from the land of heather and oatmeal. She’s canny too, and wants the best for her money. Therefore she is at Western. Good idea. Isabelle! EDVTHE BEATRICE PARK—If Beatrice cannot be cow-girling in Arizona, she I will, no doubt, content herself by reading Zane Grey’s novels. At present her main ambition is to become a shining light in Class 3. ELIZABETH CATHERINE PEARCE—We strongly suspect that when Betty made her first appearance in the Pearce nursery, she was jibbering blithely. Although her cradle-days are now but a faint memory, she is still congenial and indulges in many a stage-whisper.

DONALD RODERICK HOAR—Don is like his brother in that he, too, likes a good time. His occupations in school are teasing the girls and thinking up excuses for not having his work done, but once in a while he really works. You should see him in Composition periods! “It’s a great plague to be too handsome a man.” CHARLES RALPH HOAR—It has been reported on excellent authority that he is tall and good-looking, but very few realize the difficulty he has experienced in overcoming this handicap. He is a rugby player and a star basketball player. Being a modest boy he did not tell us his greatest desire, but it is really to be the most popular woman-hater in Western. MARY PHOEBE HOARE—This dark-haired maiden was born in Calgary in 1915. Mary is the phenomenon of Room 16—she does her own homework, and al¬ though seen, is seldom heard!

Very temperamental, yet noted for her bright and sunny disposition. “Fond of beauty, sports and laughter. Pleasure first, and business after.” HILDA MARGARET PASSEY—This quiet little miss never has much to say. Probably her thoughts are so lofty and her bright ideas come so thick and fast that she finds it difficult to express them in words; or maybe it’s because she comes from Edmonton and so feels superior. HOWARD NORMAN PATTON—Name one object of importance that we have now in Room 16 that we lacked in other years—Answer: Howard Patton. He always stands at the head of his class. He is on the Year Book committee, and he shows the rest of us how to debate. JAMES BERNARD PERRY—This lad seems to have been born in Oyen, Alberta, in 1916, to the end that he might brighten mathematics periods with the sun¬ shine of his smile. He is so temperamental that the mere mention of a voca¬ tion makes him shiver. DAISY ROBB—Daisy was bom in Calgary 17 years ago, which is just another proof that “local products are the best.” Her chief affinity is Joan, and her ambition is to give Patton a run for his money. “Learning, once the man’s exclusive pride. Seems verging fast towards the female side.” JOAN LILLIAN ROBERTSON—Joan is the demure maiden of our class. We understand she was born in Suffield, Alberta, in 1914.

He just escaped being on time that time. But not even his disarming smile can disarm the long-suffering teacher. “I love work, it fascinates me, I can sit and look at it for hours.” EDGAR STEWART—’Tis rumored abroad that Ed has left his little playground at Western and is now learning to become a man. If there is truth in this, we are glad and wish him well, although it does seem a little like sending “Inno¬ cents Abroad.” ALBERT RAYMOND SWANN—Bert says history will give Winnipeg as his birthplace. He excels in his ability to borrow homework. He aspires to achieve fame as the next Baron Munchausen. “Who first invented work and bound the free And holiday rejoicing spirit down?” :f GEORGE RALPH WILLOUGHBY—George, another Valentine youth, was born in Winnipeg in 1915.

Page forty-two YEAR (Ehtba anb AtfmmatimtB WESTERN CANADA HI-Y CLUB This Club was formed four years ago under the mentorship of Mr. Johnson. It has as a background, many successful years at South Calgary, and so is not an entirely new organization. As a Club, it has sponsored such activities as the Debating Society, Current Events Club, Vocational Talks and Boys’ Sports. In addition, members meet once a week to discuss topics of current interest, and enjoy the fellowship of the Club. Club Motto: “To create, maintain and extend, throughout the school and community, high standards of Christian character.” Members: Mr. T. E. A. Stanley, honorary president; Mr. F. D. B. Johnson, mentor; Lloyd Hutton, president; Frank Johnson, vice-president; Bob Taylor, secre¬ tary; John Davidson, treasurer; Don Clay, Art Gill, Don Hoar, Ralph Hoar, Bill Fisher, Joe O’Connor, Roland Richardson, Ken Robertson, Bill Russell, Bonn Smith, Dick Stapells. DEBATING SOCIETY The Debating Society got away to a good start this year by electing Mr. Stevenson as club mentor. An inter-class debating league was drawn up and a great display of debating talent was brought to light. We, the students, would like to thank the teachers who showed such an active interest in these debates and trust that they were rewarded by the debating entertainment as were the students. It is the hope of the class of ’33 that debating will become an integral part of school activity in the years to come. The Executive was: President, Lloyd Hutton; Secretary, Frank Johnson. Representatives: Grade XII, Howard Patton; Grade XI, John Davidson; Grade X, Morris Shumiatcher. THE GIRLS’ ASSOCIATION About two years ago a Girls’ Association was formed in Western, to which every girl in the school belongs. This Club was organized for the purpose of pro¬ moting friendliness among the girls and also for sponsoring the Girls’ Initiation. We sincerely hope that this Association will continue in future years. Officers: President, Carrie Speer; Secretary, Gertrude Scott; Treasurer, Marion Egleston; First Vice-President, Patricia Mitchell; Second Vice-President, Dorothy Hutton. BOOK Page forty-three WESTERN CANADA DRAMATIC CLUB In the early fall a Dramatic Club was formed in Western Canada High School, under the able leadership of Mr. P. S. Dyke. The officers for this year were elected as follows: President, Margaret Cawston; First Vice-President, Carrie Speer; Second Vice-President, Sanford Carter; Secretary, Mr. R. E. Stewart; Treasurer, Mr. J. Stevenson. Shortly after Christmas, following tedious rehearsals for a few months, three very successful plays were produced in the Assembly Hall of Central Collegiate. Those taking part in the first play, “The Spartan Girl,” were: Alice Ainslie, Duncan Campbell, Joyce Cheat, Sandy Patterson, Eric Richards, Carl Nickle, Marion Egleston, Betty Cawston, Ellen Rae, Marion Rae, Betty Mitchell, Marion Lipkind, Barbara McLennan. Included in the second play, “The Far-Away Princess,” were: Georgina Fotheringham, Basil Godfrey, Geraldine Mavor, Audrey Baxter, Betty Johnston, Mary Davidson, Gwen Britton, Dorothy Freedman, Carl Nickle. The players in the Comedy, “The Man in the Bowler Hat,” were: Carrie Speer, Bob Stevens, Peggy Robertson, Margaret Ogilvie, Sanford Carter, Howard Reeve, Stanley Hartroft, Eric Richards. The three plays brought helpful criticism and favorable comment, and next year we hope to start earlier and continue longer, so as to make yet another of Western Canada High School’s Clubs well known in the city. We are very much indebted to those who supported the Club, including teachers, students, and parents; and especially to Mr. F. S. Dyke who gave so unstintingly of his time, energy and genius, for the organization of the Club and the production of the plays. BOYS’ ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION As has been the custom formerly, a meeting of all the boys was held in September in order to elect an executive for the Boys’ Athletic Association. The results of the election were as follows: Honorary President, Mr. W. G. E. Pulleyblank; President, Lloyd Hutton; Secretary-Treasurer, Kenneth Clarke. New equipment for various sports was bought early in the season with money drawn from the Athletic Fund. In the past year the school’s sporting activities were not as successful financi¬ ally or otherwise as in previous years, although the Junior Rugby team tied for first place in their league. With the track meet drawing nearer, it is hoped that Western will regain some of the laurels she formerly held. Page forty-four YEAR THE GIRLS’ ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION With competent leadership, the Girls’ Athletic Association has done credit to the school daring the present year. In October at a meeting of the girls interested in athletics, election of officers took place as follows: President, Helen Webb; Secretary, Mafty Kerlulce; Treasurer, Connie Hickson. After a discussion of means of raising funds, it was unanimously agreed that a tea should be held at the home of one of the girls. With the co-operation of the teachers and parents, the girls raised enough money at this tea to buy outfits for the Senior Basketball team, and to pay for several games and practices at the Central Stadium. The Girls’ Athletic Association sincerely hopes that the next year may prove even more successful than the present one. The Girls’ Athletic Tea A delightful tea was held in November by the Girls’ Athletic Association at the home of the Misses Emily and Margaret Irving, who so graciously offered their home for this occasion. The ladies of the staff and the wives of the men kindly assisted the executive in receiving, entertaining and pouring tea for the guests. Mrs. Irving and the President, Helen Webb, welcomed the guests at the door throughout the afternoon. Servitors were Emily Irving, Margaret Irving, Connie Hickson, Mafty Ker- luke, Margaret Hayden, Betty Black, Margaret Rhodes, Dorothy Splane and Marjorie Bagnall. The girls would like to take this opportunity of thanking Mrs. Irving for her kindness in giving her time as well as her home for the use of the Association. We also wish to express our appreciation of the assistance given by the teachers and the wives of the men of the staff at that time, as well as of the parents who co-operated splendidly with the girls in making the tea a success. THE HOME AND SCHOOL ASSOCIATION In February of this year a group of mothers of our students formed a com¬ mittee for the purpose of organizing a Home and School Association in Western Canada High School. The committee found that there was a real desire for such an organization on the part of both parents and teachers. At the organization meeting Dr. Kerby, President of the Home and School Federation in Canada, gave an inspirational address on the aims and objects of the Association. The officers elected were: President, Mrs. A. W. Girvin; Associate President, Mr. T. E. A. Stanley, B.A.; Secretary-Treasurer, Mrs. G. B. Sayers. It was fitting that the first meeting should be addressed by Dr. A. M. Scott, Superintendent of High Schools, and that the speaker for the second meeting should be the Principal, Mr. T. E. A. Stanley. It is anticipated that the Association will take an ever-increasing part in the school activities in the coming school years. BOOK Page forty-five THE KAPPA GAMMA CLUB This Club, comprised of approximately fourteen girls representing the High schools of Calgary, meets once a week at the Y.W.C.A. Club-rooms. The supper- meetings are for the purpose of training the girls for leadership by discussing subjects chosen by the members themselves. This past year, some of the topics have been: “Honor, or Playing Square,” “The Why of a Club,” “Technocracy,” “The Oxford Group”; while at other meetings there have been book discussions, or a talk from some local speaker. Once a month there was a social meeting. The entire idea of the Club is best summed up in its purpose: “We, the girls of the Calgary Kappa Gamma Club, in the presence of God and each other, do pledge ourselves to help one another in the keeping of this Covenant—to create, maintain and extend, throughout the school and community, high standards of Christian character, and to stand together, on and for, the plat¬ form of clean speech, clean sports, clean scholarship and clean living.” For the four years of the Club’s organization, the representatives from Western Canada have been: 1929 - 1930—Helen Ford and Blanche McMurchy. 1930 - 1931—Helen Bayne and Pat. Gibson. 1931 - 1932—Dorothy Peacock and Madeline Austin. 1932 - 1933—Helen Webb and Betty Black. GAMMA PHI The Gamma Phi is an organization that has been active in Calgary for the past eighteen years. It is made up of a group of boys that are chosen to represent their respective High schools, the number from each being usually ' two or three. This organization is led by Mr. C. Maberley and Mr. F. Hall, Boys’ Work Secretary of the Y.M.C.A. At present their meetings are held on Saturday mornings and the discussions prove very interesting and helpful. Such topics as Athletics, Parent-Student Relationship, Homework, etc., that are problems to every High school student, are discussed. The Western Canada representatives of this Club for the past three terms are: 1930- 1931—Shields Imrie, Don Lincoln, George Jones (President), Berne Newton, George Dixson. 1931- 1932—Don Lincoln (Secretary), Paul Macleod, Carman Johnson, David Davidson. 1932- 1933—Lloyd Hutton, John Davidson (Secretary), Frank Johnson. The purpose of this Club may be summed up by its motto: “To create, maintain and extend throughout the school and community, high standards of Christian character.” Page forty-six YEAR (Elasa ICtata Room 19 John Aikenhead Dorothy Ballantine Mary Beaton Esther Black Douglas Buchanan Hugh Buchanan Margaret Cameron Jean Clark Frances Crawford Dorothy Crockett Margaret Darroch William Dingle Joe Dvorkin Room 22 Paul Baker John Blight John Cheal Joyce Cheal Allison Clarke Malcolm Clarke Katherine Cumming Mary Dillon Gwendolyn Driver Rae Fisher Romola Girvin Muriel Goldberg Ruth Goudie Room 1 4 Sylvia Ash Stuart Aull Nora Baker Hamish Begg Isabel Black George Bowen Campbell Boyd Betty Burwash George Campbell Ivan Clark Rachel Crane Freda Crum Hilda Davis Room 15 Donald Beaton Elizabeth Boyd William Campbell Jean Dickson Jean Dumo Phyllis Dwelley Evelyn Findlay Doris Foster Marion Foster Georgina Fotheringham Jean Gordon Roy Hambling CLASS 12—GRADE X Jean Findlay Grant Fleming Ruth Forsythe Kenneth Grainger Constance Haffern Kathleen Hall Lena Hambling Robert Haun Wilson Hodge Joan Humble Harland Irvine Marjorie Lawrence Bruce Macaulay CLASS 13—GRADE X James Hughes Emily Irving Stella Joffe Marian Lipkind Isabel MacGregor Donald McDaniel Mary Martin Virginia Martin Dorothy Milbum Douglas Miller Willis Morgan Robert Patterson William Pentland CLASS 14—GRADE X Denis Fisher Frances Flesher William Ford Cicely Fullerton George Garbutt Dorothy George Harry Gofsky Marvel Hanna Douglas Hawkes Margaret Hayden Milton Hyndman Mae Kennedy Jack Lambert CLASS 15—GRADE X Kathleen Heppell Harry Hickling Isabelle Jempson Ethel Joffe Bert McAdam Bill McAdam Margaret McLaren James McNeice Ross Maguire Dorothy Mitchell Douglas Morris Thelma Norris Miss James Sheila McLennan Charlie Mawer Marjorie Nock Margaret Ogilvie Douglas Robb Ernest Sales Marjorie Shaw Jean Spencer Margaret Whitlaw Eleanor Wilson Donald Wilson Miss McCracken Walter Quint William Ritson Stewart Robertson Mary Schultz Morris Shumiatcher Joseph Silver Norma Skelton Reginald Smith Ruth Snowdon Allan Spence Catherine Tait Eleanor Will Hyman Wolochow Mr. Stewart Sidney McClelland Graham McLellan Jean Martin John Moffat Elsie Neve Eric Richards Mary Shaw Allen Stanley Robert Thompson Ross Upton Kenneth Wilson Mr. Foster Jean Nowers Nesbitt Plotke Douglas Pocock Gladys Pocock Helen Pollard Richard Reeves Vimy Rowell Warren Shaw Peggy Stringer Stanfield Symons Jack Todd Rose Walton BOOK Page forty-seven irpartnmttal Unita Passt Midsummer, 1932 In the following lists the grades mix somewhat. A number of students passed on some third-year subjects and some fourth-year subjects. Others passed on both second-year and third-year subjects. Students are placed in whatever year the greater number of subjects were passed, but are given credit for the total number of subjects passed in any or all grades in 1932. As the Department of Education does not furnish us with the results of the appeals and supplemental examinations, students who passed any subjects in this way are not given credit for them in these lists unless the certificates from the Department of Education regarding these subjects have been handed in to the office to be copied in our records.

If he should call me ere I wake What would I do for goodness’ sake. Go onward! Go onward! Oh Time in thy flight And please make the bell ring Before I recite. I eat my peas with honey I’ve done it all my life; They do taste kind of funny, But it keeps them on the knife. Willie looking down a gun, Pulled the trigger just for fun; Mother says, in accents pained: “Willie is so scatter-brained.” Thirty days hath September, All the rest I can’t remember; The Calendar hangs on the wall, Why bother me with it at all ? Here lies a pedestrian, Much colder than ice, He only jumped once, He should have jumped twice. There was an old person of Lyme, Who married three wives at a time; When asked “Why the third?” He replied, “One’s absurd, And bigamy sir, is a crime.” He plunged his deadly weapon deep, The blade was red with gore; He pulled it out with fiendish sweep, To plunge it in once more. And then he found his grim work done And, as in doubt, looked round: “I beg your pardon, sir,” he said, “Did you say—half-a-pound ?” Gather your kisses while you may, For time brings only sorrow, The girls who are so sweet today, Are the chaperons of tomorrow. He kissed her on the forehead, In spite of all her squeals; They met upon the morrow, But she wore higher heels. Page fifty YEAR (Class 2 1965 At last I, Lizzie Zilch, have attained my life-long ambition. At the age of fifty-eight, I succeeded Ruth Fretting as head Blues singer at station GORP, the voice of Asthma. About the time I received my appointment, who should come in but Spencer Cumming. He wanted to double for Bing Crosby. After listening to him singing “Nero, My Dog Has Fleas,” in an ear-splitting soprano, I convinced him that the only singer in his family was a sewing machine, and I had the head bouncer throw him out. Betty Black and Barbara Jarman came crashing through the studio door. They showered me with kisses and exclaimed, “Gee, Lizzy, we’re famous now, we just got back from Hollywood.” Yes, I recalled seeing that Betty had given a very heartfelt portrayal of the Sweatband in the “Green Hat,” and that Barb had attained instant fame for her interpretation of the Spring Board in “Hell Divers.” As we were chatting over old times we heard thick voices trickling through the woodwork. Opening the door I saw Bob Cook and Wilfred Costello covered with tomato ketchup. Accompanied by Bolis Banjo they were singing “Is my vest red ?” They told me that Maxinne Fox was making a good living teaching the Highland Fling to Scotch terriers. My first fan letter came from Angus Osborne. He confidentially told me that he and Joe Michener were making a harness living, running a livery stable. He ended with a postscript—It’s a wise horse that knows his own fodder. Marg. Moffat applied for a job as a charwoman but made such a nuisance of herself beg¬ ging for bottles of red-eye that I was forced to fire her. However she recom¬ mended Carrie Speer to fill her place. When I asked Carrie what she thought of Mahatma Ghandi she said she ate cream fudge only. Neale Roche came to me one morning and plaintively asked for a dime for a cup of “Cawfie.” He had been a pork salesman in Jerusalem but business was so bad he returned to his ' home town. We were both surprised to see Bettie Mitchell fly past on her roller-skates. “What lovely Titian hair,” I said. “I’ll bet it’s imititian,” said Neale, and was off like a shot. Barron and Nicolson came to me one day. They wanted to arrange for a programme to advertise their Fallen Arch Six Shoes. They told me that George Bass had been expelled from a deaf and dumb school for making too much noise. It seems Pat Mitchell had taken to the bar and was soaking in the atmosphere. Martha Holm and Blanche Toews were down and out. Martha was down at Leth¬ bridge and Blanche was out at Ponoka. Yvonne Stenberg was making a good living selling cigar butts. Mary Picken, Florence Patton and Ella Noble came in one day chewing gum for all they were worth. “Can I chew your gum?” I asked. “Which one—upper or lower?” they said in Unison. They had started a ballet with Isadore Gofsky, Howard Minchin, John Hall, Ben Hanen and Burke Besen in the chorus. Helen Hairsine, Marg. Blatchford, and Dodo Splane had made a fortune out of Ajax Axle grease. They wanted me to sing “The Axlegrease Blues,” but I had already promised Bruce Wallace to sing on his “Pantaloon Cigar” hour. Sid Mitchell and Evangeline Girvin had just discovered how to hasten time with the spur of the moment. Sid said that Gordon Buchanan was wearing pumps as he had water on the knee. Imagine my joy when I heard that Jack Irvine and Harold Kennedy had written a “Painless Trigonometry.” How my old classmates had progressed! But my reverie was broken. I heard Graham Cracker shouting: “You’re next on the programme, Miss Zilch.” 1 bade adieu to my old friends and hastened toward the “mike.” By MONA MACAULAY, Class 2.

Western once again took the honors by winning the Mayland shield for the second time, and if there is to be no future competition it will probably be permanently in her possession. The leaders last year were: Bob Foulds, Company Leader, with Bob Taylor, Bill Russell, Art Gill and Jack Snell as Platoon Leaders. This training is only appreciated after we have left it, and it is hoped by all that the Government will be able to resume it shortly. ®hr (tots’ Smtiattmt If you had stepped into the stately halls of Western on the afternoon of the Girls’ Initiation you would have been surprised to see walking before you Robinson Crusoe and Friday, Katherine of Aragon, and Uncle Tom or perhaps Florence Nightingale with Peck’s Bad Boy, and near the end of the long line trudged the Ancient Mariner with his Albatross. Who were all these strange persons ? Why, they were the Freshies i At four o’clock all the girls assembled in the gym, while the old girls racked their brains for the character each new girl was representing. A judging com¬ mittee, headed by Mrs. Bagnall, finally decided that the prize for the best costume should go to Ruth Goudie, as the Ancient Mariner. A big lolypop was awarded to Margaret Irving for having the most complete list of correct characters. Games and a sing-song followed, then every one rushed upstairs for refresh¬ ments. Miss Maxwell welcomed the new girls and Dorothy Mitchell replied on behalf of the Freshies. A bit of “red and green” was pinned on each new girl, signifying that she was now a member of the Girls’ Association. The fun finally ended with every girl heartily singing, “The School Girls of Western.” Sam’s girl is tall and slender; Mine is fat and low. Sam’s girl wears silks and satins; Mine wears calico. Sam’s girl is fast and speedy, Mine is pure and good. D’ you think I’d change my girl for Sam’s own girl ? You know dam well I would. BOOK Page fifty-three Uratrru in th? Emjhg iFtdft SENIOR RUGBY The Senior team this year was somewhat lighter than its predecessor, having no “Biddells” or “McElroys” to bring up the average. However, a great deal of what the team lacked in weight and experience was made up in fighting spirit. With only one of the previous year’s halfbacks, the backfield presented a real problem to Coach Roberts. When the team was made up with Lloyd Hutton as line plunger, Ron. McMurchy as kicker, and Jim MacQueen as fullback, things looked a little brighter. Albert Laven, an old standby, was able to play this year and Jack Minchin turned in a fine performance. Despite the efforts of Ken. Roberts to turn out a fast and light team, West¬ ern was hopelessly outclassed by the stronger Commercial and Central squads. Games Western Canada 2—Central 5.

Under the able coaching of “Bill” Dingle, the team was remodeled into what appeared to be first class championship material. The first game was a hard-fought battle with East Calgary, which Western won, the score being 6-2. Unfortunately, Jack Marshall broke his arm during this game and was disabled for the rest of the season. The next encounter with Crescent Heights, and the Western team was beaten by a 12-5 score. In this game Western suffered another casualty, George Dickson breaking his thumb, which put him out for a few weeks. The third game was with Central, and after a hard struggle it was won by Western with a score of 9-6. The last game was with East Calgary, and Western, slow in starting, was beaten by a score of 5-1. YEAR SENIOR RUGBY TEAM BOOK Page fifty-five Jhttmm ' iiuttr SUtyby (rmtt’ii) A steady line, coupled with a clever and well-balanced back-field enabled Western to gain some measure of success.

Under the competent coaching of Herb Hutton the Junior team had another successful year, although the league was not completed, and the championship was undecided. The first game was lost to the Crescents—the first defeat the Junior team had suffered for two seasons. The team soon rallied, however, and was able to play through the rest of the season unscathed. A well-balanced back-field, coupled with an unfaltering line, brought the Juniors closer to the championship than either the Intermediate or Senior teams. The premature cold weather broke up the season leaving East Calgary, Western Canada and St. Mary’s at the head of the league. Each team had lost one game, although East Calgary had played one more and had consequently won one more. Line-up: Quarter—B. Dingle. Halves—K. Wilson, B. Pentland, D. Collier, D. Robb. Centre —E.

Page fifty-six YEAR BOOK Patfe fifty-seven linrknj In both Senior and Junior divisions great enthusiasm prevailed throughout the season. The teams were favored with ideal weather and good ice for all games. Although the players failed to bring home the laurels, they deserve a great deal of credit for the excellent games played. SENIORS The Seniors got well under .way before Christmas and held two practices a week at the Lyceum Rink. All practices were attended by an enthusiastic number of students, and Coach Laven had lots of material from which to pick a well- balanced team. MacQueen’s outstanding performance between the lead pipes saved Western from defeat time and again. He proved himself the best goal¬ keeper in the league. During the season two casualties were suffered—Howard Minchin and Maurice Belkin being kept off the ice for a few games. The first game, with Central, at the Crystal, ended in a 2-2 tie. The game was very even and kept the fans on their toes. The next game, against Com¬ mercial, was a disheartening loss, Commercial bagging the winning counter with about two seconds to go. The next game, with Crescent Heights, was a repetition of the former one, when Western again lost by a last minute goal. The fourth game, against Technical, was the first victory for Western, who emerged at the long end of a 3-1 count. In the last game Western defeated St. Mary’s by a 2-1 victory. Commercial won the championship, with Crescent Heights and Central tied for second place. Western finished the league in third place. Line-up: Goal—Jim MacQueen; defence—Art Gill, C.

Both the games with our old rivals from C.C.I. were fought to a very close finish, a win going to each team. Although they failed to bring home the cup, our Western boys did well.

This was rapidly formed and several interesting games played. Unfortunately, owing to examinations and weather conditions, the sched¬ ule was not completed. It is hoped that next year the enthusiasm of the girls will result in another and more successful Baseball League in Western Canada. A team was formed by the girls which represented the school in several very closely fought exhibition games with Central and Commercial. The team: Merle Voss, Connie Hickson, Dorothy Shackleton, Helen Webb, Ruth Turnbull, Mafty Kerluke, Margaret Clutterbuck, Ena Youngblood, Nora Williams, Rachel Porter, Jessie Lees. (Girls’ Atljlrtir iFtrlb Mi ' rt 1932 The second Girls’ Field Day was held at the new Mewata Stadium in the spring of 1932. It was a very successful event with many enthusiastic fans cheer¬ ing frantically for their respective schools. Crescent Heights, winning three Class T itles, ran away with the honors to win the A. B. Singleton cup. Western Canada duplicated last year’s feat to finish in third place. 1. Crescent Heights . 51 1 3 points 2. Commercial .. 22 3 4 points 3.

It is hoped that this year the efforts of the Western Canada Girls’ team will meet with more success and will bring Western Canada up to first place. “A” Class.—Western Canada was unfortunate in gaining no points in this class. The lack of Grade IX girls in the school causes a shortage in material for Class “A.” “B” ( ' lass—In “B” Class the only points for Western Canada were gained by Sarah Goodman in the High Jump (five girls tied for first place) 2 1 5 points. “C” Class—In “C” Class Western Canada entries were more successful. 76-yard Dash (second heat), 3rd—June Baker, Western Canada (not in final).

(Eiu inttnr Haatahall (Team This year the Senior Basketball League has developed into a close race be¬ tween Western Canada, Central, Commercial and Crescent Heights. All these teams are playing a clever brand of basketball equal to that provided by many of the city league teams.

Although not successful in many of their games, the Juniors present a well-balanced club which should go far towards attaining the cup next year. As usual, the team is very greatly handicapped by lack of a suitable floor for practice, and also by the fact that their home games are played at Central. Nevertheless they present a peppy squad. The team: Right Forward—Emily Irving is the captain and right forward of the team. As well as playing a clever game, “Em” does a great deal as captain of the team in arranging games and practices. Left Forward—Betty Boyd—Betty is an excellent shot and fits in well with the forward line. Centre—Frances Crawford—She generally gets the tip-off and is a speedy drib¬ bler.

Twelve teams composed the league; entries being from Commercial, Garbutts, Mount Royal College and Western. The “Alley Cats” commanded the lead from the first and maintained this position throughout the season, winning finally by forty-six pins. The three teams from Western were captained by D. Splane, B. Besen and G. Bass. On the winning team were D. Splane, C. Balsdon, M. Blatchford and H. Hodsmythe. C. Balsdon brought more honor to his team by being “high man.” Much credit is. due this team, for it is the first time in three years that West¬ ern has won the “League” in bowling.

BOOK Page sixty-seven 3n Hlemortam It is with genuine sorrow that we chronicle the deaths of three who attended the South Calgary or Western Can¬ ada High Schools, one of them some years ago, but the other two as recently as 1932. DIED In Calgary, 18th September, 1932 Helen Jagoe Was in her last school year and registered in Class 2. Death due to pneumonia. DIED In Calgary, 29th September, 1932 Agnes Sutherland Attended the South Calgary High School, 1921 to 1925, and later took a course in the Commercial High School. Death due to infection in the foot. DIED In Calgary, 1st October, 1932 Harry Proctor Attended Western Canada until July, 1932, and was about to register for 1932-1933. Death due to abscess in the head. Page sixty-eight YEAR Site Arrliiitra As the present fades into the past, simple uninteresting records of names and dates take on a value and meaning that grows with the years. Beginning with the 1929 Year Book, the names of all students who ever registered in the Sunalta-South Calgary-Western Canada High School, which be¬ gan 18 years ago in the Sunalta Public School building are recorded, the list below bringing the record up to two years ago. With each name is a number, and under this number is kept the school record of the student concerned. Simple as this may seem to be, the ten years that elapsed before any attempt was made to organ¬ ize the necessary material resulted in considerable difficulty in getting all the names, and some of the records have not been recovered. For a time registration cards were passed from school to school as students moved, and some of the cards could not be traced. A leaky roof also destroyed certain registers, but as far as we know only one name has been omitted in these published records. Lillie Wil- hemina Gordon (946a) registered at South Calgary in the academic year 1923-24.

Exrltanp By KENNETH ROBERTSON, Secretary What stronger bond is there between schools than the exchange of school magazines? These publications, carrying with them friendly suggestions and beneficial criticisms, greatly aid us in producing a better Year Book. We regret that so few copies of other publications were received last year. However, we are continually soliciting new friendships and if our Year Book should reach any school, with whom we are not in touch, we would appreciate your magazine in return. Many thanks to those we have heard from. “The Optimist”—Calgary Normal School. An attractive, well-balanced and inter¬ esting publication. A little more humor would be an asset. Your Literary section, especially the poetry, deserves praise. Good work, C. N. S. “The Bugle”—C.H.C.I., Calgary—Yours is an exceptionally good magazine. Con¬ gratulations on your excellent exchange. Might we suggest a more elaborate cover design ? “The Bugle” is truly indicative of a school full of “pep.” “The Analecta”—C.C.I., Calgary—Here’s a well-organized publication. The cover is striking and everything inside of it deserves commendation. “The Techalogue”—S.L.C.I., Saskatoon—A really snappy first issue. Might we suggest longer write-ups for the graduating class. Your cuts are numerous and good. Best of luck for further publications. “The Tech-Art Record”—Calgary—A fine variety of departments. Your “Sparks and Splutters” are very bright, especially the cartoons. How about placing the index to your sport’s cuts right below. “Dollingdonia”—Dollingdon, Ontario—A splendid magazine, well organized in every way. The talent of your school is well indicated in your Literary sec¬ tion—One of the best we have seen. “The McMaster Monthly”—Hamilton, Ontario—One of the few exchanges produc¬ ed monthly. A sound, comprehensive treatment of school life. “The Grumbler”—Kitchener, Ontario—A bright, newsy and unusually well-illus¬ trated book. We welcome your exchange. “The Unicorn”—Melbourne, Australia—A distant exchange, a real book, a good laugh. See you again next year. “The L.C.C.I. Review”—London, Ontario—Congratulations on your remarkable edition. What about some biographies ? An adequate view of the numerous activities of your school. “The Tiger”—L. C., Spokane, Washington—This is by long odds the best of our exchanges. The material is exceptionally well arranged, the art work is an inspiration and the humor is really diverting. Altogether this publication is truly refreshing. Page seventy-two YEAR TSnXWBXB By BETTY COLLEY (!) Stealthily! Hush! That was better. No one would ever find out. Old man Hershaw looked awful with all that blood on his face. Served him right. He shouldn’t have been such a fool as to trust a clerk with his secret, especially a clerk that he had tyrannized over and driven like a slave for twenty years. Well, now, it was the clerk’s turn. It had all been so easy. The old man had been alone. No one heard the shot that killed him and left him oozing out blood all over the office carpet. The sec ret safe had easily yielded up the money it contained, and now the clerk just had quietly to leave the building and catch the steamer to America, on which his passage was already booked. It was all so simple! And to be free, with money to live one’s own life! Careful! Not safe enough yet to give way to one’s feelings. Caught! Trapped! Like an animal deep in the hold of a ship. In irons, too! Who would have thought he would have been found out? All on account of that busy-body of a secretary! What had she been snooping about back at the office after hours ? She had her eye on the old man’s money, too. That was why she had put the police on his trail. Jealousy, nothing else. And now to be sent back to smoky, foggy old Tondon, to be tried, convicted and hanged. No freedom after all. What was that? The ship had struck something! Already it was listing to one side. The water was trickling in under the door. Good heavens! Was he to be drowned in a hole without a chance? Why didn’t somebody come? They wouldn’t bother with a murderer. He wouldn’t have a chance. Hurried footsteps in the corridor. Surely they would hear his cries and have mercy. Ah! Someone unlocking the door! The water was waist high. Hurry to the boats. On deck at last. The ship was sinking quickly. The boats were over there. What ? They were gone. Quick! To the rail. The last boat was rowing off. They couldn’t wait for a murderer. He’d have to jump for it. He was smothering. Would he never rise to the surface? Ah! It was good to suck air into his bursting lungs. What was pulling him? Oh! It was the ship sinking and sucking him dow n. Hurry! Strive harder. He was winning. It wouldn’t get him yet. What was that which had struck him ? A black box floating in the water. Good! It would carry his weight. Horror! It was a coffin. Someone in it too. It was shifting from side to side as the box rose and fell in the water. What if it was old man Hershaw? Nonsense. That was his nerves playing him tricks. Hershaw was in England, probably buried by this time. Still, what a gruesome raft it was! Would he be able to stick it out until he reached land somewhere, or would he go crazy and slip off into the green depths of the sea? The ship’s boats were all out of sight. He had no provisions. Nothing-. Even his clothes were soaked with salt water. No company but a dead man! No boat except a coffin. . . . Would the thing never stop? Slump, slither, smack. Incessantly. It was driving him mad. Every time the coffin rose on a wave, the thing inside slithered from side to side. Well, it was saving him, wasn’t it? The old guy was doing some good even after death. Hershaw wouldn’t. He’d be in the ground. Why must he think of Hershaw! If only he could reach land. He was so thirsty. Every gust of wind and every dash of spray was torture to his exposed limbs. BOOK Page seventy-three The coffin offered no shelter. Maybe it would be better to slip off and sink softly to the bottom of the ocean. . . . Were his eyes deceiving him? No, No, No! It must be land. It was! Now he’d get rid of the thing at last. The coffin-raft moved so slowly. He’d better not swim for it because he might need the coffin again. He’d soon get rid of the thing though. Slowly, slowly, he was nearing land. There were trees. There must be water. . . . Another day! Another burning sun! The thing was still there. Why couldn’t he get strength enough to fling the grinning thing into the sea. It was mocking him. It needed no water, no food, no shelter from the burning sun. It mattered not a whit, to it, that he had been carried past the first fertile islands and marooned on a narrow, red-hot strip of barren sand. If only he weren’t so weak he would throw it to the fishes. Now he had managed to lift the coffin lid, he was too weak to move any more. It looked strangely like Hershaw. It was Hershaw! Mocking him! Laughing at his dreams of freedom and escape. The sun was so hot. Everything was indistinct. The waves and sand were blurred. Only the thing grinned back at him, distinctly, from its black box. He could sta nd it no longer. It wouldn’t get him. They wouldn’t get him. He’d fool them all yet. Ha, ha. He could crawl. He’d get cool soon. He’d get to the sea. He’d sink peacefully down, down in the soft cool depths. Ha, ha. He’d fool them. Ta, ta, old thing. Grin on. He was going an easier way. Ta, ta. Rothnie Montgomery-Bell brought further honors to our school by winning the University of Alberta Matriculation Scholarship, Utnntng It takes a little courage, And a little self-control, And some grim determination If you want to reach a goal. It takes a deal of striving, And a firm and stern-set chin, No matter what the battle, If you’re really out to win. There’s no easy path to glory, There’s no rosy road to fame, Life, however we may view it, Is no simple parlor game; But its prizes call for fighting, For endurance and for grit, For a rugged disposition, And a “don’t-know-where-to-quit.” You must take a blow and give one, You must risk and you must lose, And expect that in the struggle, You will suffer from a bruise; But you mustn’t wince or falter If a fight you once begin. Be a man and face the battle— That’s the only way to win. Page seventy-four YEAR lOadp Mao n By BETTY COLLEY (4) Like a silver boat upon a raging- sea, The moon is tossed within the wind-swept cloud, Whose fingers grasp its edges greedily And seek to dim its light as in a shroud. Sir North Wind wakes and puffs his icy blast, Before which breath the clouds all flee away. Sweet Lady Moon in triumph rides at last, O’er heaven and earth to hold her queenly sway. And now she pours her glory o’er the sky And sheds upon us all her radiant light, And oftimes as we look we heave a sigh That men can never keep their souls so bright. Mippin’ By C. O. NICKLE We crept down the hall as silent could be, School was in session but not for us three; A good show was on, to miss was a crime, Why bother with school? We’d each raised a dime; We lurked in a hallway—not a soul was in sight; We started a-creepin’—Oh Lawd, what a plight! A dominie appeared from a room just ahead, Spotted us; stopped us; “What’s up?” she said. “We’re not feeling well,” the lot of us cried; We weren’t at that moment, so none of us lied. She seemed to believe us, and—what was more— Left us alone, so we streaked for the door. We were quickly outside and as quickly away; We’d skipped from school, were free for the day. With a laugh and a song we headed for town, Nary a cloud in sight and nary a frown. The office bell rang in a silent class room. In the eyes of a teacher we three read our doom; No need to tell us, we knew we were through, So we slunk to the office, crestfallen and blue. We creep down the hall as silent can be, School is in session but only for three. Good shows may be on, but what do we care? We go to the office, work’s waiting us there. Hour after hour for that sin we atone, Our fates o’ertook us, so now we just groan: “Dear fellow student, if skipping’s your thought Pause before doing it—take care you’re not caught!” BOOK Page seventy-five iHottmt JltrtureB Ittdn Watn By A. NICOLSON Till a few years ago the world of life beneath the water was almost as un¬ known as that of Mars or Venus. Man had penetrated but the fringes of this vast mysterious realm, and had captured practically none of its strange and awesome inhabitants. The pioneer of the deep sea explorers was William Beebe. In 1929 the idea came to him to construct a sphere capable of withstanding the pressure at one quarter of a mile beneath the surface. After a year of careful research, the Bathysphere was ready for its first trial. It was a steel sphere, four and one-half feet in diameter, sealed strongly with a heavy iron door, and having three ground quartz windows six inches across for observation. It was fitted with a telephone, a searchlight, oxygen tanks carefully valved to let out the oxygen at the rate of two litres per minute, supplies of calcium chloride to absorb the moisture, and soda lime to remove the carbon dioxide from the air. Though a camera was not taken on this particular trial, which took place off the east coast of Bermuda, the whole trip was reported by telephone. So highly successful was it that this form of diving apparatus, with alterations and im¬ provements, is one of the best methods of obtaining under-water motion pictures in use today. Let us now observe what passes before the eyes of the modern cameraman on his hazardous trip to the bottom of the sea. As the sphere enters the water and is submerged, the chamber is dimmed to a pleasant green. The light sifts down in long oblique rays as if through some beautiful cathedral window. Word is passed down to the occupants giving them their depth every fifty feet, but no change is visible save a slight chilling of the pleasant blue-green color. At five hundred feet it has changed to a queer brilliant blue color, most baffling to the eyesight. When eight hundred feet is reached the light has practically faded, and remains almost in total blackness to the bottom. All this time strange and beautiful sights have been passing by the window. Long strings of exquisite lace-like salpa wave by; myriads of colorful jelly-fish shimmer along their aimless courses and Pteropods or flying snails shoot by on their delicate shield-shaped wings. At four hundred feet the first real deep sea fish come into view: the blazing lantern fish, the bronze eels, the absurdly small and rotund puffer, and many other strange denizens of the deep. Pale white pilot fish, ghosts of their larger and more substantial brethren found at the surface, swim into view at this level. Dark spectral forms hover in the distance, never coming nearer but reappearing at deeper and darker depths. Small squids, glowing glori ously in all colors of the spectrum, teeter back and forth on their tails. At eight hundred feet one gets the first glimpse of the silver hatchet-fish, the front view of which looks like a very pompous old colonel with goggles and a high peaked cap. From the side it looks like nothing on earth, its eyes standing out irom its head like miniature lighthouses, a curious jumble of criss-crossing colors all over its body. At another stopping place one hundred feet lower, strange rat-tailed fish flash by, a blinding shower of bright green lights reflecting from their sides, while long, slender, luminiscent eels wriggle off into the shadows. Between the depths of twelve and thirteen hundred feet is a space of terrible blue emptiness where not a light or organism of any kind is visible. When this space is past, life, mostly of a luminous nature, once more returns. At fourteen hundred feet the cameraman is sitting in absolute silence, his face reflecting a ghastly bluish sheen, his pulses throbbing and his hands cold and damp, when the bottom is felt. The journey of breath-taking sights is over. When he steps once more into our common little world he is dazed and in¬ credulous. When asked the ever recurring question, “How did it feel,” etc., he can only quote Herbert Spencer: “I felt like an infinitesimal atom floating in illimitable space.” Pa e seventy-six YEAR :: Iofe?0 :: W.C.

That’s where I alius do get it.” BOOK Page seventy-seven McMurchy, out for a stroll, wandered through the church-yard, gazing idly on the inscriptions on the tombstones. “Not dead but sleeping,” read one particu¬ larly aged stone. McMurchy scratched his head, mediated for a minute, then re¬ marked, “He sure ain’t fooling anyone but himself.” Everything comes to him who orders hash.

Miss Maxwell. “We just ran over a cow,” replied the conductor. “Was it on the track?” “No, we chased it into a bam.” Bruce Jacobs entered a restaurant and sat down at a table.
