The Analecta 27 BIOGRAPHIES OF OUR GRADUATES LES. TIMMS—Only comes part time, but when he ' s here everyone knows it — and likes it. He’s just a little feller, but he did fine work on the Senior Rugby Squad. Sorry girls, but he ' s attached. MURIEL BARNES — Has been a Calgarian since 1917. Muriel likes school so much, she doesn’t go home at noon for her lunch. DAVE “WATTAMAN” WATERMAN — A tall, dark, handsome Romeo, very clever and studious — “Thou laughest here.” A genius at thinking up excuses to delay handing in his Trig, homework. ANN COOPER—Couldn ' t stand the high pres¬ sure here, so migrated to California for the winter. She ' s back again and everyone ' s glad.

Is not particularly diligent and is usually found in the cloak-room, giving advice. LES. THIRLWELL—President of the Students’ Council and coach of the champion Senior Hockey Team.
