He is considering writing a book of new theories. Favorite expressions: “Say, Wink,” and after running his fingers serenely through his pomp, “it seems to my mind-” etc. MALCOLM DEWELL— “Mac” was imported from Banff, but .does not seem to have left his heart in the mountains. He is popular and is a good student. His ambition is to play baseball for the “Giants.” LORNE HOGGE— Perhaps it is because he comes from Okotoks that he hates “gassing.” Preserves an ominous silence, but works hard. HARRY MALCOLM— Harry has come to us from the town of Innisfail. “Speech is silver, but silence is golden” is his motto. He lives to learn and generally accomplishes his ambition. BRUCE RAMSAY— A gentleman from Carbon- He makes a great hit with the ladies; interested in sport. It is rumored that his ambition in life is to learn to leave certain parcels found on the street strictly alone. Favorite saying: “Yah-h-h hoo-oo-oo.” DEAN TWEEDLE— Has already been immortalized in poetry; does not here show much of his pugnacious instincts. If you see a gentleman briskly moving up and down the hall with a smile on his face, you may ibe sure it is Dean looking for his lesson assignment. He came to Normal from Strathmore. W. BARRIE— “Walter” graduated from St. Mary’s, Calgary. He is known to wax eloquent only under the beam of Miss Fisher’s smiles. He is thoroughly interested in studying glands and their control of the stature. Hiis ambition is to become King of England. A. CHRYSLER— Commonly known as “Art.” He came to Normal from C.H.C-I. Art instantly became famous for his talents as a mouth organ artist and comedian. He boasts that he is the only Chrysler that women can’t drive. We wish him luck.

He is interested in studving, which is sure to beget success. ERNEST POULSEN— Ernie favors us with his presence, transferred from the southern town of Magrath. His popularity is second to none. He takes an active part in school activities and is a member of the Year Book committee. Ernest has many engagements with certain young ladies in the hall, but they are purely business, you under¬ stand. HAROLD LEE— “Had” Harold hails from the famous basketball town of Cardston, whose honor he certainly upholds. His great popularity is due partly to the fact that he is a member of the Normal basketball team, champions of Alberta. Besides this he was athletic presi¬ dent for the fall term. The question arises, “Does he prefer Mount Royal College to Normal?” Favorite expression: “Yea! Mooch!” W. SUTHERLAND— Bill as he is knowm by his many friends, comes from Olds, and his high standing in Olds High School speaks for itself. He is intending to write a reversion of “(Alice)” in Wonderland.

His chief ambition is to know every girl in Normal. F. RUTHERFORD- Is a Calgarian. He has proved to be the life of the party be¬ cause of his musical talents. His favorite occupation is “tickling the ivories,” so you don’t wonder that his ambition in life is to get Meunier’s job. P. GRIFFITHS— Holds the distinction of being the only one among us from the “Old Land.” He was bom in London, England. His quiet, re¬ served manner causes him to be held in high esteem by the class.
