' Readers of this Annual will miss the names of the Students' Council of former issues. In adjusting the various activities of the Institute for the pre-sent academic year it was felt that, While splendid service hat been rendered by the officers of the old Council, it did not call forth the active- participation of as large a number of the members- as was desirable. Hence a reorganization was effected under a new designation. The offices of the society are filled partly by election, partly by appointment. The following were elected: President-Theodore Spencer. First Vice President-Harry R. Paulin. Second Vice President-Douglas Taylor. Treasurer-Audrey McKay. Assistant Treasurer-Allan Boucher. .Secretary-Mildred Nobles. i Assistant Secretary-Dorothy Hughes. Those appointed were : Senior Literary Society-Jean Peebles, James Conrad. Second Year Literary Society-Marion Sheard, Ronald Gooderham. First Year Literary Society--Mary Schiefner, Tom Drummond. Boys' Athletic Society-Laudes Dutkowski. -Girls' Athletic Society-Ruby Harper. .Staff-Miss C. Brewster, Mr. R. Stoddart. Cf the activities that come within the sphere of the Literary .and Athletic Society, one of the most important is the Field Day. Though the day was exceptionally cold the competition in all the events was keen. The honors of the Senior boys were won, as it was fitting they should be by our President, Ted Spencer. . The Commencement exercises were held in the Normal School as the limited capacity of our own auditorium forced us to seek a larger hall. In opening the proceedings, the president in a well- .ordered speech reviewed the activitis of the year. A series of intercollegiate debates was arranged with Regina College and the Normal School, the Collegiate representatives lost to the Normal, but won from the College. The debaters were, in the former contest, VV.E.K. Middleton and lVlcCrillivray Lee of -lA. in the latter, Clive Davidson and Clive Leitch of 4B. The tinals of the Balfour ora.tory contests were held under the auspices of the Literary and Athletic Society and the speeches were delivered before a very large and appreciative audience. The editing and Hnancing of the Annual comes within the .scope of this Society's duties. These duties have all been allotted so equitably, that the work is being completed without unduly burdening any member. During t.he year two concerts were held in the Auditorium. Both were a credit to our school. The programs were in each ea se of high order and onthe financial side the concerts Were grati- fyingly successful. - 14

FREDERICK LOVERING Is Ted to all but the minister who oliiciated at his baptism. On that historic occasion it is said his par- ents meant to name l1i1n John, but he made so much noise the minister though they meant Frederick. Ever since Ted 's chief delight has been making a noise. At school his most notable achievements so far are winning the undying affection of his French teacher and passing in Agri- -culture at one week's notice. He un- doubtedly has convolutions in his head but he employs them to out match Cunningham and out roll Hare ris. plays known in base-ball par- lance as bone-head. HARRY PAULIN Strayed from the fold for a time and attended Regina College. But he re- turned unharmed from there as he had earlier come back from over- seas. In any event his heart has never Qin the past few yearsj been far away. For further particulars inquire of lvliss ................... He regardsthe high cost of living as Qwell we had better put a dash here too-J but certainly as inimical to love 's young dream. MURIEL PERCIVAL f'Where did she get those eyes so blue? 'Out of the sky as she came through. Percy is compounded of Pep and Pulchritude. A girl with eager eyes and yellow hair . She makes excellent fudge and devil cake and is Qfar be it from us to suggest that this is the rea- soni a general favourite. And her main ambition in life is to squelch eiectively the irrepressible Vcnnels. STANLEY BLAoKLoo'K ls an ardent student of French. Ilis Great ambition is to learn to dancc,.he believes he could enjoy life if he could only dance-all the time. His constant fear is the threat of baldness. He is a husky boy and cavorts around the foot-ball field with evident enjoyment. 16 CHARLES IVESOIN THACKER The first object to attract Charles' attention was a trumpet from which he blew soul animating strains. Alas too-many. His passion is long words. He reads Carlyle for relaxa- tion and is thus an object of won- derment to those girls who adore Gene Stratton Porter. Like Hamlet he would throw Physics to the bow- wows. WILLIAM GORDON VENNELS His first glance Qprecocious even thenj fell upon a little arrow through which portent he has al- ready Qthough the youngest member of IV. Aj loved and lost many many times. In spite of which he retains all the hopefulness of his innocent childhood. He has never yet been heard to say f'Nay Nay Pauline . The attainment Cmuch vauntedj of which he is most proud is the de- feat of Lewis when he spotted him Cat the Y.M.C.A.j twenty on the white. His hobby is snooker and his favourite recreation more snoo- ker. His chief ambition is to possess a really uniquely startling tie. JOHN STEWART is an authorityfon the new Canadi in He speaks with feeling for he has taught in alforeign school and would have all his class mates do the same. He has developed a Marcel wave which is the envy and despair of all the girls. He is a devoted attendant at Rae St. Church Cpartiesl. Ru- mour has it that it is not in search of religion he goes thither. DAVID AARO-N David's chief ambition is to keep his name out of the Doomsday Book. With which object he is always one period late when speeches are the order of the day. He is not fond of the sound of his own voice and is lamentably lacking in a sense of humour for he has yet to see the point of one Dave Harris's W. K. jokes while Cunningham's humor leaves him cold. His ambition is to abolish, some time soon, Physical Training in our Schools. His motto is Better late than never. He occupies as isolated a position as Robinson Crusoe on his island in his continued bitter hostility to woman suffrage.
