The Analecta 31 BIOGRAPHIES OF OUR GRADUATES GERALDINE WEAVER — Came to Calgary from Edmonton, and many hope, to stay. Has a few bad habits, but they are more than offset by her good ones. BETTY WEBSTER—Has a dear insight into many of her subjects, including boys. Lit. is her favorite, and only too gladly gives assis¬ tance to those in need. MARY WHYTE — Seldom seen, and seldom heard. Differs from most in that she worries if her homework is not done. Her future is anything but dull. JEAN WOOD — A staunch supporter of XII C.” Comes daily to conversee at great length with her neighbors. Briefly, a very industrious girl. BERYL WINTERS Another sister of the K. Z. Sorority, Hailed as charming by a great majority. BILL BARRATT—Left us early in the year to join the army, and comes around occasionally when there is a basketball game — he likes to watch red-heads going at it. NELLIE COYLE—Just couldn’t bear to give up C.C.I. Rushes LATE into Physics. The reason for much enjoyment at the Rugby Banquet -— she was chairman of the refreshment committee. BOB DUNLOP—Possesses one of the few truly democratic heads of hair to be found around the school. A regular flash on skates. Avoids most greater and lesser worries by leaving the girls alone. MILDRED CLIPSHAM—A little girl with an enormous intellect. A case of best things being done up in small packages. FRANK GAUNCE—Floats through the doorways. His mighty efforts at harmonizing in the Drunkard ' s Song with Cy are unappreciated. Plays rugby and basketball and gravitates towards the women. LILLIAN FEEK—Comes for Mechanics, just to keep Hazel company. To all intents and purposes, she ' s here for work. Often seen chatting in the halls. GEORGE GRAHAM—Once was in the habit of skipping grades, but soon found out such antics could not be tolerated in XII “C.” Sits way down in his seat and hopes no questions will sail his way. HAZEL FOLKINS—Another who is not overburdened with. work. Used to help cheer up the History class, but she dropped it, so now.

VERNAL NIES—One of those lucky ones who can manage that subject called History, so adeptly. Sports a Sigma Tau blager. Her future is wide open. JEAN POYSER — Hails from Brandon, but is far nicer to receive than the real hail. An¬ other of C.C.I.’s artists with a rosy future. SONIA PRATT — Born in Croydon, London, England. Being an adventurous type, came west to see the natives. Liked them so well she has taken up their manners. SARA SWANSON — Migrated to C.C.I. from Olds. Comes in and out of XII C like a mouse.

32 Th e Analecta BIOGRAPHIES OF OUR GRADUATES NICHOLAS GRUSMAJER—He says just about as much as we have written. BARBARA FORD—Very ambitious and knows her job as far as Dramatics are concerned, to say nothing of her school work. Has been learning new facts since 1916. CUTHBERT HARRY—A Central pioneer who could almost write a history of the school from his own attendance. Brightens dismal days with a cheery smile and an occasional joke. GERTIE GIBSON—Slid into Frank in 1917. Pearly teeth, pretty eyes and an ability to use her brains, are only a few of her excellent characteristics. KENNETH HENDERSON—Turned in great performance on the gridiron. We often wonder why Ken is such a favorite with the fairer sex. Perhaps its because of his dancing abilities. KATHLEEN HERBERT—A reason why XII “B” is lucky. Makes the boys turn to stare, but remains serene and dignified, even undisturbed by Dora. An enthusiast of amateur broadcasting. She isn ' t only pretty, she’s. JOHN HILL —Handsome and still free. Takes an active part in all XII C’s’ ' pastimes. Is the proud possessor of an everlasting smile and voice like Wilf Carter ' s. CHARLOTTE LANGSTON—Outward appearances are deceiving, for mischief runs rife in her soul. Is an authority on good books. Combined with Johnston and Thirlwell, makes quite a racket in Biology. DON JOHNSTON—Responsible for all the major and minor disturbances in XII “C.” Has been known to sing out loud in Trig, without suffering for it. Favorite pastime is teasing Frances A. MARGARET LAW—Uses this old High School as a necessary place to keep warm between meals. Where she spends her evenings is nobody’s business. One of XII “C’s” upper class. ALVA PIPPARD—Into hockey, rugby, n ' everything except such trivial things as homework. Otherwise he’s a regular go-getter and jack-of-all-sports. FREDA McKINNON—Honours us with her presence only one period a day. Is usually found in the cloakroom, giving advice on matters of importance. DON ROSS—Came back this year to play Senior Rugby and edit the Weeper. When not deeply engrossed in his studies he spends a good deal of his time escorting young ladies to their homes. JUNE MILLS —An old favorite around the school and a recent addition to the Alpha Gammas. Learns typewriting in the morning and dashes into Central to borrow a Weeper in the afternoon. DEAN SMITH—A skirt chaser (don’t misunderstand us, he’s in the Highlanders), Noted chiefly for his strange ideas, queer antics and sprightly humor. LOUISE THIRLWELL—Secretary of the Badminton Club. Passionately fond of tartans and loud ties and reads Carlyle for recreation. Another poker fan whose ambition is to own the Hearst Publications. CHARLES SYMMONDS—Comes to make the Biology class and appears to be brainy. Quiet and well-liked by everyone.
