Clifford had marked success as a debater while at Crescent Heights High School, being the winner of the Osborne Cup in the Debating League of 1 933-34. In Normal School dramatics he holds the position ot chiet stage manager. We feel sure Clifford will make an excellent teacher. BIAKE MORTON, Calgary.

The ready wit and extreme good nature which characterize Blake make him a favorite with everyone. RICHARD MORTON, Calgary.

During the second term he is serving as chairman of the Literary Committee. LEONARD McKENZIE, Lethbridge. Leonard is a conscientious worker and a loyal pal. One who is successful in everything he undertakes. As president of the Discussion Club he is a forceful speaker. He is also interested in dramatics, and the Glee Club. WILSON MacKENZIE, Calgary. Wilson owns a winning smile, and has a striking personality. He is one of the foremost guards on the brilliant Normal hoop squad and was class president of 1 B during the first term. He has a prominent berth on the Dramatic Society roster. We predict that he will make a success as a teacher. EGBERT NEWTON, Retlaw. His pleasant personality and ready smile have won many friends among us all. He shows a keen interest in natural history and tennis. His con¬ versation, enlivened by a ready wit, makes him popular with his classmates. JOHN PANKRATZ, Russia. John is the centre of interest in Class 1 B.

GTfje Cfnnoofe CLASS 1 B CHRISTOPHER FLANAGAN, Medicine Hat. As business manager of the Year Book, Chris’s Irish wit, together with a bold and plausible tongue, has been to our advantage. He is prominent in dramatic, social, musical and political activities and can surely boast for himself a successful term if success is measured by the esteem in which he is held by all. HENRI FORGUES, Three Hills. Henri is a quiet, pleasant chap who is always smiling. Before coming to Normal he attended Mount Royal College. He is an active member of the Natural History and Discussion Clubs. In class he has proven himself a history student, being one of Mr. McKerricher’s select students who helped conduct elections. DOUGLAS HOLETON, Olds. Douglas, the renowned fullback from the north, laments that Normal School has no rugby team. It will be recalled that in January he tried to bring the 1 890 ear muffs back to style. His perfect physique will be remembered by all who knew him, and his bass voice will ring in our hearts for a long time. REGINALD JACKA, Medicine Hat. We owe many thanks to Reg for his honesty and goodwill in holding the position of treasurer. He must have been a bank manager at one time. He possesses a quiet and thoughtful manner which sets a good example to the wilder talent of 1B. Reg is a brilliant student, and a promising teacher. GRANT JENSEN, Cardston. Grant is the type of person one would welcome as a pal. Sensibly quiet, but not too quiet; level-headed, with a nicely turned sense of humor. An admirer of and participant in all sports, and one of the “Romans” who helped IB win the Literary Cup with the extravaganza “Julius Caesar.” JAMES KIDD, Nordegg. Jimmie is one of the most cheerful and mild-mannered members of the class. In his ho pie in the shadow of the Rockies he has gained distinction as a successful hunter of moose, mountain goat, and other big game. He is also fond of skiing and other mountain sports. KARL KOSIOR, B.Sc., Jenner. Karl is a person who enjoys the reputation of speaking only when he has something worth-while to say. This may possibly be the result of his training as an engineer. We feel that Karl will obey the Latin dictum of making haste slowly. DOUGLAS MARSHALL, Taber. The man whose pleasant yet business-like campaign speech, together with his likeable personality, won him the position of chairman of the Athletic Committee for first term. He is an ardent lover of sports, participating in many games, and specializing in basketball and hockey. He is also a promising member of the Glee Club. Page Twenty-Seven

®t)t Cfjmook CLASS 1 B EDSEL PETERSON, Hillspring. The towering pinnacle of 1B. His humorous disposition affords amuse¬ ment for the class. His motto, “Actions speak louder than words.” Outside of 1 B he wishes to be known as a devoted member of the Glee Club. BILL PROCTOR, Stettler. Bill’s black, bushy hair, topping a continuous smile, is a familiar sight around the school. Strong and well built, he is an indispensable member of the second basketball team. He is very fond of vocal music, but has a violent dislike for mathematics. MICHAEL SAWCHUCK, Myrnam. When “Mike , as he is familiarly known, starts his phrenology, he soon gathers a crowd. He is greatly respected, due to his ability as a wrestler in the cup winning 1 B play. His proficiency in art makes him the envy of alll of his classmates. BEN SCHRADER, Medicine Hat. Ben is a good example of the proverb that “Silence is golden.” His quiet, unassuming personality wins him friends everywhere. What would the bass section of the Glee Club be without his basso profundo! Ben has a reputation for striking straight from the shoulder. GLEN SILLITO, Orton. Glen is always ready to do a good deed for anyone. His quiet, shy nature is seasoned with dry, spicy humor. He likes to participate in all outdoor sports, especially horseback riding. He works hard. Indeed, he, while his companions sleep, is toiling upward in the night. NICHOLAS SKOROPADICK, Plain Lake. Nick is a quiet chap with a ready smile. He is clever, and one of those rare creatures whose brains are supplemented by hard work. Consequently he does very well in all his studies. He is a member of the Glee Club. LEONARD SWIGART, Trochu. Leonard is one of the shining stars of 1 B. Why? His daily work is always done. High marks adorn his criticism papers. His attemps at humorous poetry reveal a similar disposition, which is accompanied by an everlasting smile. We hope his future will be as successful as those pleasant days at Normal. DONALD THORSON, Calgary. Donald has not been able to take as great a part as he would like in school affairs because of out-of-school activities. He is, however, an active mem¬ ber of house league basketball and hockey teams. Donald’s greatest ambition is to travel anywhere. Perhaps the strenuous participation in these sports partially satisfies this desire. Page Twenty-Nine
