The Analecta BIOGRAPHIES OF OUR GRADUATES NORMAN CAMPBELL—XII “A’s” outstand¬ ing orator, mathematician, adviser and coun¬ sellor. Would like to turn Biology period in¬ to a free discussion period on anything from sweet peas to Communism. Argues with everyone, including teachers. CLARA BERKOFF—A peppy miss, noted for an original chortle. A good bet as a source of disturbance in any class. STEWART COFFIN—A pal of all, with few worries and a great interest in life. Well- known for his blushes and lusty cave-man guffaws which come over long-distance call from his feet. HELEN BROOKS—One of those extraordinary persons who once studied until 12 o’clock. Another genii of Lit. Class. Likes talking and laughing and may be seen explaining intricate problems to interested groups. BERT COLE—Bert lives up his name by mak¬ ing things look black for his opponents on a cricket field. He attained fame as a carrier of magazines to school and lending them to his school-mates. RUTH BROWN—Came from Saskatoon, to get a higher education at Central. Possesses some innocent expressions and is a brain-storm at Trig. Skates like a professional and frequent¬ ly takes solitary walks. ARTHUR DEEVES—Master at Trig, and star of Junior Rugby. To him a woman is just a big zero with the circle missing, so his chief diversion is tormenting Wegener. DOROTHY CAMPBELL — Here is a real woman. Delights teachers and students — a human textbook. A futurist who gets the best out of life. One of those Scots with an inter¬ esting family tree. KEN DOUGHTY—The best friend of all the teachers, or maybe it should be the “pest” friend. He’s been raising Cain all his life and surpassed himself this year. Aspires to be a doctor but is more qualified to be a patient. GLADYS COBB—A pocket edition, containing much useful knowledge. A calming influence in her community and seldom speaks —■ a wondrous virtue in a woman. Ve expect great things of her.

Delights in solving complicated Algebra problems and seldom gets one he can ' t handle. MARY ARNOLD—Is doing time for only a few periods a day. Possessor of a joyful coun¬ tenance and an abundant knowledge of Maths. (?) Perhaps she’s quiet because she’s think¬ ing — we’re not sure. DICK BAXTER—Comes to school at 8.30 every morning to be on hand when the homework arrives. Famed for his prowess as a grid star and speed skater. MILDRED ARTHUR—From Empress.

ARCHIE BIRSE—Equals McGie and McKinnon in his intense love and perfect understanding of Algebra. He is president of The Hi-Y and his organizing abilities are truly a boon to the club. MARY BEARD — Vice-President of the Stu¬ dent ' s Council and one possessing true school spirit. Everyone ' s friend and a willing tutor of the mysteries of many subjects. XII “B” couldn’t function without her. BOB BRAY—Noted for his “ear-to-ear” grins and good humor. His long absences do not seem to interfere with his studies. Bob proved he could take it” on the gridiron and made a stalwart linesman. EILEEN BEATT—Came from Ontario to get a good education at Central. Manages a group of C.G.I.T. cherubs.” Writes entertaining comps, and believes that a little nonsense is in order. DONALD CHEYNE—Rarely speaks, but when he does we all listen. Walks two miles to school so he’s wide awake when he arrives. Don is fully qualified to follow in the foot¬ steps of his scholarship-taking brother. BETTY BLAIR—An orator who practices on anyone. Once walked down 8th Street with¬ out shoes. Is very popular with gentlemen. We predict a brilliant future, providing Enid doesn ' t lead her astray.
