THE EMERY WEAL 11 AEPCN iLTICS AERO 2 T. R. SHAW Medicine Hat, Alberta. A most studious student. Tom is happiest when solving some difficult math, problem. One of the strong, silent type. IAN HAY Irricana, Alberta. A good-looking, hard-working Aero—feels most content with a wrench in each hand. Keeps up with the best of them at Tech, dances. DON NASH Calgary, Alberta. Tall, blonde and handsome, in short, a Casanova. In his own genial way he always has a comeback for class wise¬ cracks. An ardent photographer. JOE LYONS Calgary, Alberta. Also tall, dark and handsome athlete, belonging to several Calgary clubs. Ambition—to break a limb once a year. Girls keep away. DOUGLAS LAIT Calgary, Alberta. A brilliant lad whose pastimes are cycling and cribbage. He is also an ace goalkeeper. Says he is afraid of girls. We doubt it. A. B. (DELL) ROWLEY Rochfort Bridge, Alberta. Dell is very active in sport and social affairs. A member of the school hockey team for two years. Was Social chair¬ man for the first term. JOE HOLOSKO Calgary, Alberta An ex-school teacher. One of the most active members of the student body. Fall term president and member of orchestra. Takes his work seriously. WM. M. KLOMPAS Andrew, Alberta. One of the best students in Aero II, Bill is president of the Chem. Club, and Social Reporter for the “Emery Weal.” Yea, Aero. BILL CLENNET Calgary, Alberta. Often breaks bottles and test tubes and occasionally drinks oil samples to discover their internal as well as physical properties. Really a clever fellow. Soon the final exams will be written and the Tech. Aero students will look back on a year well of poorly spent, as the exam results will show. There will be some regrets by the students who thought the Aero course an easy one to get credit in. The successful students will thank their instructors for the invaluable assistance and teaching they have received. To the Aero Shop instructor, Mr. Pilkington, every student owes a debt of gratitude for his valuable assistance in teaching us the fundamentals of aircraft construction and rigging. In Mr. Peebles we lost one of the best Aero Science teachers obtainable when he offered his valuable services to the R.C.A.F. Mr. Salter, his substitute teacher, was a northern pilot, and in the students’ estimation an excellent instructor, especially in instruments and navigation work. Mr. Green, perhaps the most popular with the students, is one of the best engineers in Canada, and we are certainly lucky to have him. To our other teachers, Messrs. Safran, Brown and Pearson, we say thank you for a job well done. We had four aircraft in the shops this year, giving us work on both metal and wood-and-fabric construc¬ tion. The experience gained by those who worked on the Luscombe will be extremely valuable on future work on metal aircraft. No doubt many of our classmates will join the R.C.A.F., and it is almost certain that most of us will obtain jobs in operations service or in factories. Those who return to take Aero II wil l again take part in the classes, shopwork and the outside fun and good times that we all enjoyed this year. To all Aero students, Aero I, A and B, and Aero II, the best of luck in their chosen work and may we all do our part in bringing this war to a speedy victory for the Democracies. Miss McKenna (at registration time)—“Have a reservation ?” Prospective Motor Student—“Do I look like an Indian?”
