tEfje Cfjtnook CLASS 1 B GEORGE WALKEY, Pincher Creek. Undoubtedly a very practical mind, whcih makes him conspicuous even in a large student body. He is the secretary of the Students’ Dramatic Association, and is accepted as the star radio announcer of Class 1 B. A youth with a personality that cannot be forgotten. HUBERT WEST, Mountain View. Hubert plays guard on the basketball team, and makes up in speed what he lacks in size. Being a happy-go-lucky sort he is well liked by his class¬ mates. His forte is mathematics in which he secured 100% on the examin¬ ation. We recognize this little man by his southern drawl and blue eyes. VIRGIL WHITE, Calgary. Virgil spent a year at Mount Royal Junior College. He has considerable ability with the saxophone and his resounding voice is the back¬ bone of 1 B’s singing class. Virgil is the proud owner of a nice roadster, and he must be a good driver because we never hear of him being in court. WILLIAM WIGHT, Calgary. Bill is one of the quiet, reserved students, who helps to give sense of balance to his class. He displays great interest in basketball and is one of the scoring threats on the second team. His ready smile and helping hand are appreciated by his classmates. CARL YOUNG, STIRLING. Carl is the centre of the Normal basketball team. He is noted chiefly for his dramatic ability and keen sense of humor. Although of a rather retir¬ ing nature, he is ever willing to do his part. One of his chief ambitions is to learn to sing Peg O’ My Heart.” Page Thirty

®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

®fje Cfjtnook THE DISCUSSION CLUB Of this club Normal should be proud. It has not only had a busy year, but a wonderfully successful one. A great deal of this success is due to the energy and efficiency of the executive, composed of: Mr. McKerricher, Honorary President; Mr. L. McKenzie, President; Mr. J. Sauder, Vice-Presi¬ dent; and Miss MacKinnon, Secretary. Soon after the club was organized it entered the City Debating League. Six debaters were chosen to represent Normal in this League. Mr. R. Morton and Mr. D. Splane won the first debate with the Leisure Time League. Following up this fine example, Mr. H. Cummins and Mr. Galdzinski, in the second debate, defeated the Tea Kettle Inn “B.” The third and semi-final debate was won by Mr. Calder and Mr. B. Morton from the Knights of Columbus Club. In the final debate against the Tea Kettle Inn Spokes Club, Mr. J. Calder and Mr. R. Morton ably upheld the reputation of Normal by winning the Davidson Cup, emblematic of the League Championship. However, debating has not been the only pursuit of this club. Before Christmas a Mock Parliament was formed which functioned until March. It was used to discuss present-day topics and help the debaters. Valuable aid in this undertaking was given by Mr. McKerricher, Mr. Flanagan and Mr. Sauder. Page Thirty-One
