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.

ln speaking of finance our treasurer reports that there is so much money on hand she does 11ot know what to do with it. Ainoirpq other objects on which it is being expended, a contribution of seventy-five dollars was made recently to the Memorial Fund.

'tKen has three little green Keys which Mr. Stoddart never seesff so runs a lam- poon.posted in the Lyre Box. It insinuates more slanderous things about Oul' hero's eiforts in French but every one knows Ken is de- voted to the study of La belle langue. He pursues it vvith avidity in all his numerous spares. If he studies law with equal diligence lic- sh-ould Wear a vvig at forty. His' intensive study of the Police Gazette- should aid him on his Way.

KATHLEEN BOAL is an industrious student. Very ten- der hearted, she suffers much from the callous bloodthirstyness of Lob- singer et al. She has a high sense of duty and does her best at all times. She even tries hard to laugh at the teachers' jokes. Her opinion is that Mr. Campbell makes the best ones. - ELIZABETH CAREY Elizabeth Carey sits at the back of the room as do Lovering and Bates and the rest of the illuminati. She is very good natured. Con- sequently she always has her Geo- metry and Chemistry done to a turn She hates to see Mr. Campbell per- turbed even in his mild way and as for Mr. Holmes, she just trembles in her shoes when he looks at her. DELO LONGWORTHY At an early age Delo's curious 'temperament led her to eat a fuzzy- wuzzy caterpillar. She hasn't been the same since. It is to her credit that she has only one crush at a time. But she has a very repre- hensible habit. She always does her homework. CAlways? Well nearly -alwaysj Her greatest attainment is keeping thin. Her hobby is drinking -4 glasses of water at a time. Her favorite recreation is passing, billets CBillyJ doux leewards, Hencefor- Ward she? will follow the gleam :searchingfor the ideal Cbeaul. CLIVE DAVIDSON Clive regarded his first tooth as a joke and he had been discovering them Qjokes I meanb ever since. He was the inevitable choice as Editor of the LYRE which this year is a scream from start to finish. He maintains that Helen Keenleyside'5 manipulation of the unknown quan tity X in her freckles computa- tion was, to put it mildly suspi- cious. But , he says Hwhat could you expect from 'the sex ? He is a misogynist, which is to say, he regards girls with a baleful eye :as second only to Latin Grammar in order of Pestiferousnesst He was -a. Balfour Orator and acquitted him- self manfully. His ambition is to be Premier of Saskatchewan. a -44 JEAN PEEBLES When the shades of night are fall- ing fast in summer one who loiters in the vicinity of the R.C.l. tennis courts may hear a gentle voice whis- per soft and low. Forty-love. lt is not a sentimental episode but .lean Peebles announcing the score. She would rather play tennis than pass exams. She has a weakness for fudge and is an authority on the best seats at the Sherman. Her favourite reading is 'tPhotoplays Her hobby is women's rights. She will be a notable exponent of the divine right of women to rule the world. ANGUS WILSGN is so ardent a student that he has been known to phone Vennels at 2 a.m. to inquire what the Algebra lesson was the month before. For years he has been holding Dan Cupid at bay. But alas! CSaid lass is not in IV. A.j Alack! His favorite diversion is motoring a deux. He is contemplating a modern version of A Midsummer Night's Dream in which enterprise he hopes for the co-operation of Ted Spencer. Angus is a diligent student and will go far. As far as Pinkie. JEAN MCKILLOP Jean Mcliillop is of so retiring a disposition that we do not know what to say of her. She is known as 4'Jean in the far corner. Happy is the woman who has no history Jean, we are confident, will have a happy home. She will make it so. It is rumored that she is an excellent cook. To paraphrase Owen Mere- dltll, We can live without art, VVe can live without books, But as pants the hart, So man loves good cooks. MARY SMITH 'Mary Smith is a new comer this year. She is an infrequent student. Possibly the beautiful ring she wears may be the reason. She likes to walk to school in company. She is deeplv read in romance and we hope her own may end as they all do in books, And they lived happily ever after. H g
