COLLEGE, CALGARY PAGE 3 DR. JOHN H, GARDEN PAGE 4 MOUNT ROYAL Foreword

The editor and staff have dedicated this year book lo the new Kerby Memorial Buiidi.ng that has been erected on the campus of the College. It is a beautiful building of fireproof construction and will provide excellent accommodation for the expanding work of the College. However, the great­ ness of an institution is not reflected m the impressiveness of the campus, but rather in the spirit of the students who have attended through the years.

Mount Royal College has always been fortunate in the quality of its student body. From the very founding of the College our students have sought to uphold the highest idealism of the College. They have devel­ oped and maintained high standards of activities, citizenship and scholar­ ship. They have shown themselves dependable, competent and possessed of the qualities that make for good success in life.

You who have been in attendance at the College during the past year have shown that same quality. I am glad that some of your -activities are being preserved in this Year Book, and that the incidents may bring to mind our happy associations together. In the name of Mount Royal College I bid you all God's speed as you procaed along your respective ways.

JOHN H. GARDEN, Principal.

Editorial As the school year 1948-49 comes to a close, the yearbook staff breathe a sigh of relief as once again the Varshicom is on to press.

This year brought forward the finishing of the Kerby Memorial Building. Early in June, offi­ cial opening of the building took place. Next year new surroundings for both schoo! and sports will await students.

Form of this yearbook has tried to take In styles of all former books. Grouping of individual pictures of 10 to a page serves as a '49 style; this leaves much more space for sports which has greatly expanded this year—curling and badmln ton especially.

Now that the last pages have been laid out and pioof-read it Is only fitting to extend deepest thanks, on behalf of the '49 Varshicom staff to those who, by their co-operation and backing have made this edition possible. To Mr. O. A. Kelly and Mr. W. G. M. Rae as advisers; to the rest of the teaching staff; to the student government and student body; for their interest and help, again. Thanks, I hope this edition bas kept up to standards, and in future years when turning through the book it will bring back happy memories of your school year at M.R.C.

With this I present to you, the graduates, students, and staff, the '49 edition of Varshicom.

"THE MAN HATER" "GOAL AHEAD"

I'm thru with men forever, Those who "go places My heart to stone has turned. Know places to go. They never make you happy. Whether their pace is That's the lesson I've learned. Swift-footed or slow, fhey are not haunted They always wanta love ya. By doubflngs, but they And they think they ov/n ya too. Travel, undaunted, They always make ya worry Their confident way. Awondering if they're true. No one will wind up Ya gotta keep yer hair curled, Successfully, who 'N keep yer dresses lookln' neat, Can't make his mind up 'N alv/ays keep yer powder on. On what he would do; And yer feet a-smelling sweet. Fix your attention Fix your selection Ya hafta starve yerself to death, Of goals in your nut. To keep from getting fat, Go that direction Nor can you slop around in slacks, And nowhere else but! Instead you wear a hat. Vim, vigor, vision. Now I tell ya It ain't worth It, Brains, brilliance and such. To keep a'sufferin' so. Lacking decision It's a turrible iot of bother. Won't get a man much; Just to keep a beau. Don't shilly-shally 3ut know what you're at. So now I'M free and happy. Pick your own alley And never take a bath, And bow! 'em down that! My heir is straight and straggly. Let no man cross my path. Few men, if any. Get far when their stunt's 'Cause If I see them critters, Travelling many I'll pull my big boots off. Directions at once; One sniff within a mile or two, Choose your route — take It 'N they'll die of smoker's cough. Straight through +o the end. Sure, you can make It, (Selected) And luck to you, friend!

"STUDENT'S UTOPIA"

There's a spot to be found — we've all looked around Where pleasure and happiness lie. There are no bells to ring or any such thing To mar the peaceful sky. No homework to do [and I'm telling you such a spot is a true paradise). No such thing as exams, only radio fans and movie admirers and such. Oh wonderful t'would be if there we could flee by a miraculous fairy's touch Now you can see and I'm sure you'll agree how utterly charming life is When one has no worry of "Then you'll be sorry"; no work, only pleasure to seek. No teachers are there — only lovely fresh air, no stuffy schoolroom at all. At the end of the term you smile as you learn how students elsewhere have worked. You take your diploma and go on your way. Happy, and carefree and ready to say I've found it at last, since my exams I have passed — This is Utopia, I'd say! _ .

COLLEGE, CALGARY PAGE 17 Valedictory

As the 1948-49 scnool year draws to a close, the future Is upon us once more. Since last Fall we have, thanks to the efforts of the Faculty, waded, burrowed, or "leaped and lingered" through quite a large number of books; we can now look back with a sense of achievement which Is tem­ pered by a certain amazement at what has been accomplished.

In retrospect, there emerges from a chaos of memories a picture of Mount Royal which will remain with us, whether we go on from here to University, or straight out Into the world to qrapple with Income Tax forms. Many have been the social functions and athletic events which have helped to lighten the grind of study; many have been the new friends we have made. Many have been the matters of national Importance that have been settled over a Coke in the Canteen, or over a coffee at Gus's. Many sounds still ring In our ears, among them the thunder of frantic feet on the stairs, the staccato rattle of many typewriters in the Commercial classes, and the muffled plaint of music in a rather primitive state. And there Is always a certain tingling of the nostrils as any peculiar smell recalls the weird odors which periodically rose from the Chem. Lab. and permeated the corridors, like wafts from a region much lower than the basement of the College.

For this class that is now the past, the future, as always. Is Inscrutable: most of today's head­ lines give it a definitely ominous tinge, and certainly the world Is passing through a time of qreat restlessness and trouble. What our civilization needs above all Is men and women who can think; we owe a great debt to the members of the Faculty of Mount Royal, v/ho have continually stressed the need for us to use our own minds and to analyse things for ourselves. At Mount Royal we have been given a standard by which to measure, and great assistance in the entrance examinations to life: upon us rests the responsibility of making good use of what we have learned.

^^^'^ ^^ .. MOUNT ROYAL High School Dean's Message Milestones on a road loom huge before us, tower beside us, and dwindle in the distance. In college life the milstone is most Important to the class of the year In which It passes. This year of I 949 has carried us into the presence of one of the most Impressive in Mount Royal's history—The Kerby Memorial. How fortunate will be those who, in the future, stamp along its corridors and whisper In Its corners! Yet. methlnks [Shakespeare), we will leave a spirit behind in the huts. With their wavy floors, their rattling stoves, their rickety chairs, their anemic walls, their red receptacles, and their musty smells, they were still a home for our hopes, our dreams and, of course, our romances. Who has not held a cold hand over a tepid stove and has not felt the haemoglobin of heroes fill his smallest arteriole? We shall miss our huts! To the 'Hut Dwellers" of 1948-49—We shall miss you. Don't forget that Mount Royal is your Alma Mater, and that to us you matter [Ohoo] too. Be seeing and hearing of you we hope, with the passing of the years. Mr. O. A. Kel Mr. O. A. KELLY.

Poets' Corner

"FAREWELL TO HIGH SCHOOL DAYS" The day of parting comes, and we who have Been linked together as a living chain Must say good-bye, and go our different ways. Knowing full well that in the cominq days We shall not meet again. Not as we have met here; but through the years We shall have friendship's strength to rest upon. For friendship is a firm and sacred trust That lasts when fondest hopes have turned to dust. And helps us carry on.

Then, knowing this, shall v/e not strive to make The very most of time that now is ours? That when we part there be not vain regret. No bitter words that we would fain forqet. No sting of Ill-spent hours? The future beckons on —- to each there comes A call for service In the world's great field; 'Twill prove how well our lessons we have learned If, through the mist of years, we have discerned A faith that will not yield.

So now a long farewell to High School days, We pause a moment on the threshold, then Go out to face what life may have in store, To do our best — for what can man do more. To serve his fellowmen? —A Reminiscing Hi-Student COLLEGE, CALGARY PAGE 33 PAGE 34 MOUNT ROYAL Commercial Dean's Message We again approach the conclusion of our school year. As is usual we reach this point with mixed feelings. It is a pleasure to have been able to associate with the fine group of young people who have entrusted their business training to us. It Is a matter of vital importance to us that we place these young folks In satisfactory positions where they will be well rewarded for the diligence with which they have pursued their studies. On the other hand, we always feel slightly regretful that It is necessary to sever day-to-day acquaintance, because surely there can never be quite such an intelligent, co-operative and thoroughly attractive group of young people gathered together under our tuition again. To you, young ladies and gentlemen, go our very best wishes for your continued success and happiness. We hope that when advancement and success does come, you may be able to pause for a moment and remember some word or suggestion which you picked up while at Mount Royal, and which hes played its part In your development. Mr. J. W. Hepburn Mr. J. W. HEPBURN.

The play went over to a packed house. Through the co-operation of all the Eng. II class, with Mr. Collett, it proved itself a real success. The following is an excerpt from the "M.R. Crucible", written by the outstanding dramatic critic, Mr. O. A. Kelly:

"Knowblock's play 'Milestones' is, in any hands, timely, but in the mouths of these new dramatic sensations, the 'Mount Royal Players', 'tis truly superb. The way this talented dramatic group bound from 'stone to stone' Is nothing short of colossal. It has been said that 'Time and Tide waits for no man', but these virtuosos have tied time to their saiddle-bowE and have romped to theatrical glory In their never-to-be-forgotten portrayals of 'Iron Ships' and 'Sailing Clippers'. To mention individual performance would be not only odious but superfluous—suffice it to say the Mount Royal treatment Is a complete 'Globe of Precepts'."

PAGE 48 MOUNT ROYAL Director's Message

Sports • The spirit of sportsmanship has been evident th-oughout the year in all sports. The ancient Greeks were first to realize the relationship between the mind and body, hence the old but true saying "A sound mind in a sound body". Without physical activity there can be no intellectua' growtn and there can be no mental development without the same. These have been stressed at Mount Royal College and results obtained proved true. Basketball ranked No. I; Boxing next, closely followed by Badminton, Bowling and Hockey. Twelve Basketball teams were In operation and to date approximately I iO games played with the finals of the House League still to be decided. Other sports entered were Curling, Wrest­ ling, Weight Lifting, Table Tennis and Group Games. With the new Dr. Stanley Gymnasium in operation next year, I have been fortunafe to obtain the following coaches: Senior Basketball, Mr. L. A. Alexander; Inter-Varslty Basketball, Mr. J. MacGregor; Wrestling, Sgt. M. Reif and Mr. J. Donaghy; Weight Lifting and Assistant Boxing Instructor, George Hansen. House League Baskelball teams. Girls' Inter-Varsity, Badminton, etc., can be assured o^ equal treatment. In addition it will be possible to start with Volley Ball, Borden Bell, Floor Hockey, Hand Ball etc. With Softball being played it leaves us Tennis and our own Track and Field meet to com­ plete the College's varied sports program for the 19^8-49 season.

Mr. L. H. SIDDONS.

The past three years M.R.C has improved Its status from Junior Title Holders to Central Alberta Senior. Mr. Alexander hopes to go further next year, and we wish our popular coach success In 1949-50. It can be done v/ith the spirit that prevails at M.R.C. Total games played during the season, 20; with the team winning I 5, losing 5.

CITY SENIOR LEAGUE — LADIES

Coached by Don Maclean, captained by Joan McFarlane, the qirls from M.R.C. in their first year of league competition, held their own and reached the City Play­ offs, only to be nosed out by 3 points in a 2-game total point series against the U. of A.

Next year the qirls will er\\ev the Inter Varsity Leaque, exhibition games to be played with Olds, Red Deer and teams from Southern Alberta. It is hoped that at least five of the ex-grads will be available to carry the 1949-50 team to a championship.

COLLEGE, CALGARY PAGE 51 HOUSE LEAGUE BASKETBALL This year Mount Royal had a well-functioning six-team league. Eleven games were played by each team, and everyone who participated enjoyed themselves. House league ball is essential to a school such as ours to teach and train the players In the fundamentals of good basketball. In this way a reserve of good players is ready to move up to the senior teams. Mr. Siddons must be commended for the way he worked so hard to help each player. Under his guidance every player showed a marked improvemenf. May the new gym, bring even bigger and bef-i'er oell teams.

BOMBERS.—As the league closed the Bombers, captained by Don Maclean, were at the head of the leaque. This team showed that it Is team-v/ork that wins and never individualism,. Don Mackay was one of the team's valuable scorers, always a threat. Ken Maclaren and Bill Ferquson were two fellows who developed greatly 1hls year and both played fine defensive games. Don Maclean was also one of the high scorers and proved a good, if short, centre. Owen Jenninos did very well In his first year at the game and shoved up well on the attack, Murray Service Is another who displayed that with a little coaching he will be a top notch player.

WILDCATS.—This team finished In sec­ ond place and were sharpening their claw? for the Bombers In the play-offs. Having a fine captain and a scoring threat ir. Bob Rogers, It is little wonder this team endeo up in second place. Gary Evans showed that most of the fellows from the south really can play ball. Bob Gilmour was e very valuable guard. However, he was absent when the picture was taken. Jack Alder played a good game, biit wasn't out consistently. Clarence Buckley was another good player who im­ proved a greal" deal this year. Grant Shut- tleworth was very consistenf, A good check­ er. Chris Warke was a boy who showed a really grand improvement. Chris practised hard and proved just wnat could be done In the way of bettering his game. Should be a good man next year. Left to Right; G. Shuttleworth, J. Alder, H. Buckley.

George Stewart was one of the tall boys on the squad. Always good for 8 or I 0 points. Harry Suey was the most dangerous man on the team. A reel speedster, he was hard to stop. He was also a real checker. John Spaapen proved to be one of the best guards In the leaque. Dan McDonald, a steady player and an asset to the team. Bill O'Leary was another smart player but didn't turn out too much. One of the finest one-handed shots in the circuit belonqed to Lee Le Sergent. Lee stood hiqh in the scoring. Gabe Dohy was a consistent player. Scored baskets when they counted. Fred McCall and Cal Oughton both were good guards who knew how to watch their men. Left to Right: J. Visser. J. Spaapen, G.

METEORS. — This team was fortunate enough to have as their captain Lloyd Weicker, who later in the year became a member of the city league team. A good shot and a fine defensive player. The Meteors had tall Keith Pringle as their centre, and Keith did much to hold the team together. Another fellow who im­ proved his shooting ability as well as his all-round play was Jerry Kimpton. Glen King is a lad who showed signs of becoming a real threat next year. Another of the better players was Don Hunter. By far the fastest man on the team, he was always a potential scorer. For the nicest hook shot in the league we have to look to Walter Larratt. Walt surprised everyone when he began to use this shot. He has a good chance of maklnq the Varsity team next year, Louis Gazdarica proved to be one of the smarter guards of the team. Always in Left to Right: W, Larratt, D.

COLLEGE. CALGARY PAGE 53 GRIZZLIES. — Captained by Don French, tnls team had good material but was not given enough time. Don was a goad shot and a very tricky player, but never took enough interest in the team. Peter Bartman improved a great deal this year and shoLild go great guns next fall. Clarence Buckley, guard, has gained a lot of basketball knowledge this season. Clar­ ence Is a tough man to get around. One of the most potent scorers of the team was Bob Hymas. Bob should be watched next year. One of the best offensive guards in the league was Glenn Long. Teamed with Harvey they made a stonewall defence. Newton Henricks didn't know much about the game when the season began, but caught on quickly. Played II, Won 4, Lost 7, For 227, Left to Right: G, Long, P. Bartman, C Buckley- Against 274, Points 8. Front, Left to Right; N. Henricks, D. French (Captain R. Hymas. HOOPSTERS.—This, in my estimation, should have been the team to cop the hon­ ors as they had the largest number of poten­ tial scorers. However, hhe defence was not as was expected, and they ended up in last place. Chuck Saults was the captain, and was the most consistent scorer. Chuck Is one ot the best forwards In the league and next year should make the Varsity squad. Bob Klrkpatrlck proved to be another lad who was a devil under the basket. Ross MacKay is, for his age and size, the best player in the league. In his first year he made the All-Stars. Ross should be the high scorer next year. Two fellows who" really improved through hard work and practice were Ron Pederson and Jack Boulton. The possessor of one of the nicest lay up shots in the game was Don Alexander. The Saults- Alexander combination was a treat to watch. Douq Gray as quard would have developed Into a really fine player. Was misplaced when put on the forward line. Left to Rio ht: R. Pederson, D.

ALL-STAR TEAM This year the all-star team of M,R.C was on a par with many of the best junior teams of the city. They only played one game with an outside team, the Calgary Cadets, who later went on to win the pro­ vincial title. Mount Royal won the game by a 78-2^ score. High scorers were Don Maclean, Don MacKay, Bob Rogers, and C Saults. Next year this calibre of team will be entered in the Varsity Leaque with Tech. and U. of A,

Highlights. Bill McMahon won all four titles, besides beating the Open Light Heavy in Edmonton.

Bob Rogers, middlewelgnt, lost his first fight [exhibition), then chalked up six victories In a row, Including two main events, one at Hanna and the other at Drumheller. He had the misfortune to break his hand, otherwise a Provincial and interscholastic title would have been added.

Kevin McDowell, welterweigh+, winner of the Best Boxer Trophy award in Calgary, was expected to take the Provincial title, but preferred to fight rather than box in this particular tournament. Won the semi wind-up in

Drumheller. Roi Daniels.^This boy Is improving fast; loves to mix It and can hold his own In any company.

Frank McMahon.—In Bob Rogers' class; replaced Bob In the Provincial and Interscholastic; showed to good advantage. Ross MacKay.

Seventy-five students have this year taken advantage of our privilege of using the Armories for badminton. A number of enthusiasts have played two or three after­ noons every week and several have turned out regularly once a week. These players have definitely Improved their game.

The season began in the fall with a mixed tournament, each man drawing from a hat the name of his lady partner. Joan Roberts and Bill Ferguson came out winners, with Melene Macrory and Bill Sayers runners-up.

After Christmas, the club boldly chal­ lenged Central High to a mixed doubles tournament. It was a pretty gruelling ex­ perience, for M.R.C. was beaten badly, ••;-.. .. !•/£;•/..

A Mexican Indian, who had never been away from the small town where he was born, set out to explore the wonders of Mexico City. He became Intensely Interested In the hotel's hot and cold running water, lighting arrangements, and elevator. All this was bewildering, but the Idea of the telephone was inconceivable. "Do you man that I can get anything I want by talking Into this thing? Could I even order a pair of shoes?" he demanded. Reassured by the bellboy, he lifted the receiver, and no sooner had he listened to the first words of the operator than he threw the telephone to the floor In terror. "DIos mio!" he cried. "Without my even saying I wanted a pair of shoes, her first question was 'Que numero'?"
