GUY AUSTIN—Calgary.—Once walked to Belfast for a week to achieve his ambition of becoming a Grade I teacher. No relation to the “Baby.’ ' Prominent feature—his nose. JOHN BERG—Lacombe.—Short, fair and youthful—occupies a front seat and is much (ab)used by Dr. Coffin during the Psychology periods. EJLER CASTELLA—Standard. —Another one of lA’s quiet, self-effacing men. Is still overcoming the handicap of hav¬ ing been among the Lost Tribes of Israel in the IIA. TRACY CHRISTIANSON—Macleod.—Above the average in height and weight but his reticent manner and excellent be¬ haviour keep him out of the public eye. “MEL” DAVIDSON—Calgary. —Has an agressive appearance but a most happy-go-lucky manner. He has a smile for everybody, including Mr. Loucks, and is always ready to assist in any school activities. His special interests are De¬ bating and Drama. GEORGE DAWSON—Irvine.—A fair-haired son of the south— usually silent but occasionally eloquent. Known to the out¬ side world as a marksman with the rifle. HENRY DUKE—Canmore.— Dark in appearance and secretive in manner. His favorite activity is helping Oviatt to trail a couple of Second Class girls. JAMES FITZPATRICK—Drumheller.—One of the shorter members of the class—conceals a serious mind beneath a sunny smile. Favorite saying, “Say Doris, let’s take in the Tech. Dance!” WYNN FOSTER—Medicine Hat.—Tall, slim and dark. We suspect he is more active at night than in the day, in fact he must be. Scores for the basketball xlub. “FROSTY” FROST—Calgary.— A wiry little fellow, well known among basketball and hockey fans. He delights in teasing “Papa” between periods. Is an authority on how to act on “out of town” trips. RULON GIBB—Magrath.—A typical Normal student. Plays basketball, hovers round the girls ' corridors between periods, and blushes when Miss Fisher asks him to recite a nursery rhyme. FRED GLOVER—Calgary.—He is the dark man that fortune tellers tell girls to beware of. Takes the Normal course ser¬ iously, never being late with assignments. Is vice-president for the second term and is taking a leading part in the “Play.” ARTHUR GODDARD—Calgary.—Short but sturdy—has a fiery manner of delivering a speech, terrorizing the front row. Saves time, energy, and money by coming to school on a bicycle plus a strong grip on a street car. ALBERT GORDON, A.B.—San Francisco, California.—“Papa” —One of the largest exports from this town during recent years. Provides a vast amount of amusement for “Frosty.” According to his own words, the best bridge player in Nor¬ mal bar R. Turner, and the greatest literary genius since Shakespeare bar no one. Voted by all the best good sport in Normal. DONALD GREEN—Hanna.—A rather reticent, hair-haired studious lad. Has to yell at the top of his voice in order to stimulate the instructors’ ears to action. WALLACE HARPER—Medicine Hat.—The 1A midget. Not so fierce as he looks except when teaching P.T.—A promis¬ ing debater. CHARLIE HARRISON—Calgary.—Predominantly athletic, rug¬ gedly intellectual, possessing no faults not transcended by his virtues; is strong and manly in appearance and likeable and friendly in manner. GILBERT HIRST—Calgary.—He is the Gilbert Hirst of Rifle Range fame. His frail form may not bring him success in the athletic world but his critical mind and derogatory ut¬ terances will earn him many enemies and so ensure success.

31 YEAR BOOK Page Twenty-one BIOGRAPHIES Cl ass IA CECIL HOLMES—Calgary.—His athletic superiority is por¬ trayed in his rugged features. He is the strong man of the class preferring pounding the ribs of his fellow students to filling their ears with educational orations. OTTO JENSEN—Carmangay.—A dark, sleek looking young man with a propensity for dancing and other methods of getting his arms around one of the other sex. Plays basket¬ ball. ALEX. KINDSFATHER—Calgary.—Obviously Teutonic, na¬ turally sympathetic and occasionally energetic. Has hopes of teaching the instructors how to pronounce his name. JOHN KROPINAK—Tod Creek. —Short and fair with straying hair. He is inclined to be artistic but cannot learn to draw the sarcastic word pictures portrayed by our instructor in that subject. SABO R. LANTINGA—Macleod.—Has fair hair and a ruddy complexion. Is interested in basketball and volley ball as antidotes for the work he meant to do. JOHN LEWIS—Medicine Hat.—Known as “Honest John.” We suggest that he give a party for his shoes and invite his trousers down to meet them. JOE LUCO—Lethbridge.—A swarthy lad of medium height who is interested in basketball and other sports but does not let them interfere with his work. His permanently fur¬ rowed brow is the result of trying to follow Mr. Loucks through the Course of Studies. SID. MAGRATH—Calgary.—“Money is your suit.” His ability and the confidence placed in him by the student body is shown by ' the responsible office to which he was unanimously elected—that of Treasurer for the Students’ Association. Pleasant and likeable, with brains “payable on demand” —we predict for him a prosperous and sucessful career. EARL MAYNARD—Drumheller.—A happy-looking but ser¬ iously-minded lad with a wavy mass of fair hair which is much admired by the IB girls, especially Miss R . . . . He is keenly interested in sport and especially proficient at hockey. PHILIP MILLER—Calgary.— I am Sir Oracle And when I ope my mouth Let no dog bark.” He is famous for his ability to supplement the Doctor’s remarks in Psychology, and sit in an ordinary desk with his chin resting on his knees. Has been characterized by ' Mr. Loucks as “No gentleman!” MARK McCLUNG—Calgary.—In spite of ponderous brow and fragile frame, Mark positively revels in physical training. His habitual boredom is occasionally routed by an elfish smile. Indoor pastimes with Mark include effortless oratory, gentle cynicism, and assistance to literary spheres within the school. To him is the credit of organizing the first-term programmes. He is amazingly popular, but his extensive vocabulary at times prevents close harmony with our lesser intellects. LLOYD McDONALD—Medicine Hat.—“Teach me half the gladness that thy brain must know.” Six feet of typical Scotsman. His amusing minutes have made him one of the most popular students and caused him to be unanimously given a second term as Secretary to the Students’ Associa¬ tion. MURRAY MacLEAN—Calgary.—Physically Murray is below average but his well-shaped skull does more than support a mop of dark brown hair. His abilities have not been un¬ noticed; he is president of his class and sub-editor of the year book. STIRLING McLEOD—Calgary.—His actions do not belie his pugnacious appearance—scraps with Oviatt between periods. He suffers considerably from the fact that to Madame Ellis- Browne IA and McLeod are synonamous terms. DELMER OVIATT—Stavely.—Used to be care-free and sociable but the influence of certain Second Class girls has made him a spick and span dandy with his jet black hair neatly parted in the middle and carefully brushed back, and his round face cleaned till it glows from the back of the classroom like a full moon breaking out from a thunder clouded sky.
