Ted is Vice-President of the Glee Club, and is also one of the most active members of the Dramatic Club. ROBERT TUFTS, Medicine Hat. Bob became prominent in student activities shortly after the opening of the session when he was elected president of the Students’ Council for the first term. Later he displayed his prowess in basketball as forward on the school team. He has also found time to take part in all the social events. ALECK WHITE, Medicine Hat. This garrulous “Mad Hatter” intends to make teaching his life work. He is an active participant in all sports, and wore the Normal School colors as member of the second team in basketball. His favorite subjects are art and senior literature. CYRIL WHITE, Sunnyslope. Cyril has the reputation of being a mathematical wizard. He hopes to apply his talents along this line in the study of electrical engineering. He takes a very prominent part in hockey, playing right wing for the school team. He is also interested in tennis. EDGAR WIGHT, Cardston. Ed. is a keen lover of sports, especially basketball. He was chosen captain of the basketball team and fills the position admirably. He is also a good student and we feel sure will make a fine teacher. His ready smile and willingness to help others have won for him many friends. FRANCIS WILLIS, Calgary.

tEfjc Ctnnook CLASS 1A MAITLAND PERRIN, Didsbury. Maitland takes life very seriously. He is a member of the Dramatic Society, and has joined the Glee Club in an endeavour to increase his talent along musical lines. Later he plans to go to Varsity to take a course in chemical engineering. NORMAN PUTNAM, Medicine Hat. This tall, good-natured young man is a favorite with the members of his class. He is fond of all sports, and takes an active part in basketball. Norman’s favorite hobby is walking in the parks, looking for new bio¬ logical specimens. He is also keenly interested in junior literature. SPENCER RAE, Medicine Hat. Spencer was an honor student in High School, where it is claimed he made some original (?) contributions to chemical science. He is president of the Badminton Club, and also is interested in hockey. He is present in some classes in body but not in spirit. SAMUEL RICHARDS, Hillcrest Mines. Sam’s interests lie chiefly along scientific lines, and he hopes later to pursue his scientific studies at university. He takes an active part in both basket¬ ball and hockey. His chief hobbies are playing the violin and acting as a mechanic. JOSEPH SAUDER, Lethbridge. Joe spent a year at Mount Royal Junior College after graduating from high school. He amuses the members of Class 1A with his views on psychology. As Speaker of the Mock Parliament, he displayed a keen grasp of parliamentary procedure. It is to be hoped that he will realize his political ambitions. REED SHIELDS, Warner. Reed is perfectly at home on the basketball court, the softball diamond, and in the water. He is not a woman hater, and is very fond of social affairs. Lesson assignments seem not to have been neglected because of outside interests. WAYNE SHUPE, Carstairs. Wayne is a very agreeable young man, full of fun and good cheer. He is interested in all sports, especially basketball. His weakness is art, though he knows beauty when he sees it. We wonder how many of his classmates have heard him play the alto horn. HENRY THIESSEN, Namaka. Henry entered Normal with an excellent academic record. He is a young man of grim determination, as is clearly indicated by the stern set of his jaw. He is intensely interested in sports, and has taken an active part in athletics as a member of a team in the house league. Page Twenty-One

Cfjtnoofe THE NATURAL HISTORY CLUB This club, under Mr. McCalla’s enthusiastic leadership, has had many interesting meetings. Subjects for study during the year were divided into four divisions: geology, insects, birds and plants. Through illustrated lectures and talks, of which some were given by students, work was done under each of these divisions. Mr. McCalla gave a lecture on Southern California, using colored slides. An interesting talk was also given by Mr. Loucks on “Game Birds of Canada.” A third instructive lecture, very much enjoyed by the club, was one given by Mr. Fowler, of the Institute of Technology, dealing with the method of obtain¬ ing gas from crude oil. The members are looking forward to many more interesting meetings in the spring. Trips to Turner Valley Oil Fields, St. George’s Island and the bird sanctuary have been planned, as well as one or two hikes. The latter should certainly prove enjoyable with Mr. McCalla to interpret many of the beauties and wonders of nature. “Knowledge, never learned of schools, Of the wild bee’s morning chase. Of the wild flower’s time and place, Flight of fowl and habitude Of the tenants of the wood.”—Whittier. Page Twenty-7 liree
