. VERA YATES With regret the angels viewed her -departure and trailing clouds of ,glorious auburn tresses did she come to grace this mundane sphere.

VVILLIAM PETTINGELL William Pettingell is an ardent :admirer of Fatty Arlouckle. Birds of a Feather! His favorite recrea- tion is sleep. He is an omnivorous reader and shares Dave Harris' ent- husiasm for the beauty of French Literature. He practises so steadily 'that his ambition must be to become 'a champion wrestler. DAVID HARRIS is a teacher 's petg he always has his work done neatly and completely 'much to the despair of MIDDLETON and CUNNINGHAM his only seri- ous rivals. His favourite author is 'Sexton Blake who may receive the Order of Merit When Thomas Hardy 'dies Cand then again he may notl His masterly analysis of A Gram- marian's Funeralw may be found in 'UTHE LYREH. He is a young Leochinyar and very popular with the -girls of IV A as his profound knowe ledge of Geometry in which he once -scored a possible, is always at their idisposal most graciously. R. H. KEEFLER Came' to the R.C.I. from Toronto. If our enterprising biologists were to dissect him they would find the word Toronto written on his heart in letters of gold. He will return to Toronto where he will have an hon- orable career but in after life he will regret he didn't remain on the banks of the Wascana. QYou should hear .his scornful remarks about our beau- tiful riverl. It will be a case of n what's this dull town to me Robin's not here with many ca, .maid when Keefler returns to the 'good city. NORMA SCOTT is one whom all delight to honor The reason firm, the temperate will Endurance, foresight strength and skill. These are her qualities. Her fa- vorite recreation is to study and then study more. She will pass with honors in June. Her destiny is to be a minister 's wife. 7 77 OLIVE LEITCH Olive Leitch had the misfortune to be born a minister's daughter. It is a hard fate to be compelled by circumstances over which one has no control to be a model of propriety when one would much rather-But enough: In reality Olive prefers jazz to psalms. She is fleet of foot and can run like a deer QWe didn't say- after a dear j. She was Senior Champion in the girls' sports on Field Day last autumn. With Clive Davidson she defeated the Regina College de- baters in the Inter Collegiate series. She will be a leader under the new dispensation of equal suffrage.

Her temper is-well-tempestuous-- like her hair. Her favorite recrea- tion is French to which she devotes all her numerous spares. By intri- cate algebraic Computations, Qshe is a bear at mathematicsj she has worked it out that she has nine hundred and twenty six less freckles than Clive Davidson. Helen's gool spirits are catching. She is that popular kind of girlfthe life of the party. MERIONWEN DAVIES Is as her name indicates of Irish extraction. She dearly loves a joke, but is as yet heart whole so joke in this connection does not refer to V- or H-. Her motto is HNever say die. Her favorite flower is the leek, and Lloyd George is for her the greatest man who e-ver lived. She will be an M.L.A. some day in con- sequence of her devoted study of the man and his methods.

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

MABEL BROWN is a great favorite. She is never perturbed except when called upon to make a speech when she flutters like a dove-cot. Her passions are music and sleigh-riding. She is a wonder at Geometry and prefers eating pie to making it. Her know- ledge of the life of the late Sir iVil- frid Laurier is profound. IRENE BALF OUR Lumsden's loss was our gain yy-lien Irene decided to take her First at the R.C.I. She cannot help it that she is a cousin of the lamented Dave. She is very quiet and demure herself. The phone from Lumsden is kept pretty busy. And it may be that I.ove's young dream may blossom like the rose- WILLIAM E. K. MIDDLETON His first act foretold future great- ness as a musician. He picked up a violin and played it. He was lis- tened to with great - Disapproval. At the age of six months he addres- sed his nurse with great vigor for ten minutes on the subject of food and has been orating ever since. This year he was runner up for the Bal- four Oratory Medal. He is at once a realist and an idealist.EXpert in wire-less and LOVE MORE. His hobby is bean culture this ownp. He is an enthusiastic admirer of Rud- yard Kipling and is a poet of dis- tinction, the winner of the Bryant Medal. He would rather be a crack tennis player than a millionaire. H-P will be a millionaire and die a bache- lor. DOUGLAS TAYLOR Douglas Taylor-is known to all and sundry as Curly. His dreams are of gaining his yards and touch downs. He touches down as long as possible in the morningg and is known to his class teacher as the late Taylor. He is however unfail- ing good-humored about it as about everything. Like Mrs. Fezziweg he is one vast substantial smile. If there is one manner of Wasting time which Hflurlym condemns more than another it is dancing. He thinks it more pleasant to read Co- lmnba and the - Odes of Horace IV. 20 MARJORIE SINCLAIR Steel-true and blade-straight is Marjorie. Our heroine is a great reader but the misguided girl pre- fers above all other Writers-Gene Stratton Porter. She hopes to write a. novel herself one day, in which Jean Peebles will appear as the champion lady ,tennis player of Pin- kie, and Vera Yates as the villainess. W'hat is the use of having friends if' you can 't make use of them? One Jim of the Sinclair clan estab- lished a record which Marjorie has had to live down. So she is of necessity quiet and demure. But when you get her alone you'd be'- surprised. She has one hobby-Can aries and she is at present much worried OVCI' the inability 'of one of them to grow feathers. Because of its consequently clumsy movements she has christened the bird Eliza- beth after Henry Eord's immortai offspring. GEORGE MACKAY came here from Saskatchewan 's beauty spot Eort Qu'Appelle, H9 has been a school teacher but has seen the error of his Ways and aims at becoming a doctor. There is more money in it. He is an accomplice of Lobby's in his war upon cats. WINNIFRED BURROWS fs Vfinnie is a member of the Big Four tennis enthusiasts, though petite herself. Her play is snappy and they say her speech is too, at times. But only on justiiable pro- vocation. She is an expert pie-maker -lemon especially-Her ambitign func-onfessed,j is to marry an avia- tor. CURTIS BATES is a shark at baseball and has held down the keystone sack on the Grand Coulee nine with great eelat. He has a batting average of 333 but he should remember that one of 500 is ai minimum in exams. He is very shy and has never been known to bestow a second glance on any girl. This is doubtless the reason so many girls are his secret admirers. He dreams of home runs but there is one of which he stands in great dread.
