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

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.

ALVERDA NAISMITH p is known to her class mates, as the H Living Question Mark. VVhen les- sons are not prepared she nobly steps into the breach and puts some ques- tio11s. Her motto is Haste is un- ladylike and s-he boldly carries it out despite late slips and frownae Stoddartae Qthe dative is, we trust grammatically correct.j She will be a. teacher herself for a while but only for a. while because. - IVell because! DAISY PERKINS. Of course one turns to YVords- worth's poem of tribute when one is writing of daisies. His similes are hardly however apt e.g. a little Cyclops with one eye . Nor is our Daisy exactly a sweet silent creature but she is fitted to repair, The heart with gladness and a share Of her meek nature, XVhose hearts? well the future will tell. MARY MCGILLVARY LEE . wears her hair only half way up because as she says, she is as yet of very tender age. In that phrase may be noted the born essayist. A love for fine phrases was early em- planted in 'fMac . She learned to recite The Sermon on the Mountw at the very very tender age of three and thereby annexed a medal. An- nexing medals has become a habit with her. This year she won the Bal- four Oratory medal as the climax. It was on this occasion that she showed herself to true occasion true In Dr. Goggins grammar occurs these lines, He lived to learn in life's hard school How few. who pass above him, Regret their triumph and his loss Like her because she loved him. 'Nuf saidl' ELIZABETH ANDREWS prefers to be known as Betty. VVhen she was born the stars lost some of their fire. Look at her hair! She can make cinnamon toast and choco- late best after midnight. Her hobby is long-distancing Moose Jaw, and her favorite recreation waiting for the trains to come in--Cfrom Moose .Iaw'?p She has, as someone said of Shakespeare, Ha pretty witf, RONALD BARRINGTON Barry sloped out of his crip- one day and he has been sloping ever' since. His only serious rival is. Dick Conrod. He has lately turned over a new leaf, he has been at school for two consecutive days. He is not without ambition. He hopes to slide through in French and beat Middleton at Tennis. He is a great a.dmirer of Milton's felicity of dic- tion and would be happy if he could use words to such good effect. But he does very well in his line Qnot in favor at the Y.M.C.A.j ALAN LOBSINGER ,VVhen two months old Alan threw his rattle at the cat and has been death on cats ever since. The ap- palling sounds from the Biology Boom testify to his prowess in their' decemation. Dave Harris prophesies that he will grow up one day. At 'present he is a great organizer of' sleigh rides-on mud. His favorite recreation is his hair. He shares. Taylor's dislike for dancing as an amusement. GLYNORA MILLIGAN Has a reputation what aint so-that of a vemp. How she got this repu- tation, it is hard to say unless thru. the fact that she has the supposedly necessary black hair and green eyes that go with the type, and that when she was three months old she is said? to have actually smiled at a man. Wlien three 'years old she won the- Senior. Tennis Championship of the Collegiate and has continued to shine in that sport ever since. Fromi the first year she honored this school with her presence she has been a star basketball player. Her one- weakness is-for Latin. The doctors fear that this passion may prove fa-- tal. She realize that in order to rise in the world it is nece-ssary to study Cshe is going to take jumping lessons' from Miss McNeil.j And the reason may be a fe-ar of emboupoint. NORMAN BROWN Mabel's cousin. He is an expert chalk chucker. He is ruddy and of' a fair countenance. His complexion. is invied by all the girls, but O, he is so shy. He should for this de- ficiency consult Clurly, Glenna an lf Helen. I
