AURORA BOREALIS 13 Y. M. C. A. First Term Second Term Hon. Pres. Mr. Fisher, B.Sc. Mr. H. Fisher President Mr. C. Donald Mr. J. Derpack Vice-Pres. Mr. R. Elgaaen Mr. A. Bull Secretary Mr. V. Campbell Mr. B. Letts Muscle knows no thought nor is spirit found in clay, Men congregate like animals and bent on play, But nature made men social and fond of mystic lore, And from instinct born of nature Man worships evermore. A LBERTA COLLEGE not only offers its boys an oppor¬ tunity to obtain an education, but also affords the best methods of directing their surplus energies in helpful chan¬ nels. We consider that the boy has a four-fold nature which, to do him justice must receive an all around devel opment. Under the able leadership fo Chas. Forsythe, better known as “Charlie”, the boys meet twice a week at the “Y” for B.B., group games and swimming, and in these activities the boys have taken considerable interest and have acquired marked ability. A Tuxis group has been organized by the director and as such meets on Wednesday night in Mrs. Lucas’ studio in McDougall Hall. Here the intellectual, social, and devo¬ tional nature of the group receives attention. In these func¬ tions individuals are taught leadership, comradeship and co¬ operative responsibility. Group singing and debates form part of the program and various addresses on current events have been delivered in an interesting and impressive man¬ ner by such men as our principal, Dr. F. S. McCall, and E. A. Corbett, M.A., of the Department of Extension. Every Sunday evening a service of song is held in the commercial hall for those who enjoy a devotional half-hour. On behalf of those who have benefitted by these activi¬ ties and have derived a broader outlook on life, I wish to thank those who have contributed to our profit and edifica¬ tion.—J. D. IN COMPOSITION IV. CLASS Miss Burkholder—Mr. Letts, give me an example of a syllogism. “Red” Letts— Major Premise: There is always room at the top. Minor Premise: There is plenty of room here. Conclusion: Therefore we are at the top.

Elspeth Allan Jennie Johnstone Staff Miss Woods Miss Woods Mr. Fisher Mr. Fisher The Students’ Council is an elected executive which controls the corporate life of the college and students. It is composed of its own members together with the Presidents of the various societies and one representative appointed by each President. It has control of a council fund, exacted from those re¬ siding in the College, with which it keeps a supply of ath¬ letic equipment, as well as to meet expenses incurred by the various social activities of the students. A treasurer keeps records of all incomes and expendi¬ tures, and these records together with those of last year’s council have proven themselves very helpful during the year. We hope that future councils will improve on our work from year to year, that we might look back and call ours, a college for advancement in every respect.
