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.

. VERA YATES With regret the angels viewed her -departure and trailing clouds of ,glorious auburn tresses did she come to grace this mundane sphere. Which sphere could she but mould it nearer to her heart's desire Would not tole- rate speeches but would he just one set of tennis after another. Vera is known to her intimates as Vic. Her favorite recreation is sitting with Jean Peebles and her ambition is to do her algebra in the literature period, her trigomentry in the al- gebra. period Cher French in the Latin period? and her literature not :Ht all. 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. HELEN KEENLEYSIDE Is immortalized in a fellow class- mate 's poem And the direction of her nose Is where we all would like to bef' Helenfs motto appropriately is Hupwardn the sky being the limit. 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.

MYRTLE WILLOUGHBY . Myrtle VVilloughby first saw thc light of day in the thriving village of Sintaluta where she pursued the even tenor of her way until last yea: she passed successfully the first part of the First Class examination. Look- ing about her for the ideal school ii: which to complete her First she na- turally decided upon the R. C. I, Quietly and unobtrusively she has gone about her work and deserves success. GRACE MCINTO-SH tsl .c is 'fbuxom blithe and debonairt' and very studiousl We really cannot think of any facetiae about Grace for she is very like her name. . We think she will be at nurse and if she won 't she won 't and there ls, as Miss MacNeil would say, an enl On 't. JAMES CONROD is DICK, Stuke's brother you know. It is an-advantage sometimes to have had an older brother in the school. Dick makes the most of it. His ambition is to enter the room as the bell rings. He has made a record in the matter of late entries which is likely to stand as long as Babe Ruth's home run record. His favorite author is Prosper Merri- mee. He frequently borrows .books from Ken Blair Qsee Blair's Bio- graphy.D IRENE WiLsoN was out of this school for at time and in another Qa little red school- house on theiprancej where she pre- sided in a winsome but very stern manner. After her experience, she has decided to become a milliner or a lady barber or something in order to make a living. Her bugbear is the remark. I think we'll have to go slow here Miss Wilsonn. She is very healthy and has no use for Physics. She hopes to be an M. L. A. 21 HARRY FIELDS is a shark at language, French and Latin we mean. He does not suffer fools gladly and is somewhat annov- ed by his enforced association with -and--in 4 A. He will be in great success in life because he has brains and is a HARD worker. It is a pity that Fate does not promise him a partner of his joys and sorrows unless he takes lessons in dashing gallantry from Keefier or Loveriug. ISA WHITEFORD Isa Whiteford-initials are I. W. WV. but they are as inappropriate as a fish in an egg shell. She is 3 hard worker and is a devotee of the arts. Her impromptu verses have considerable vogue among the deni- zens of IV B3 she is a musician of note. But seated at the typewriter she becomes intensely utilitarian and pounds the keys for dear life. Her favorite recreation is holding the soaring wit of Albina Tufts in check. Her ambition is to be a mis- sionary to the heathen in 4 A. WALTER BROWN Why does he take Broad views? Because he comes from Broadview. He was a very model boy in that quiet village but the influence of Blair, Taylor and Norman Brown has been devastating. A pity! His fa- vorite recreations are girls and he is suspected of cherishing a secret passion for-Ah that would be tell. ing! ALBINA TUFITS Albina Tufts is energy personfied. She likes to be on the move. This possibly, is due to the fact that she is a Methodist ministers daughter, and that may account for the rumor that her ambition is to be a movie star. Her favorite recreations are nib- bling ice cream cones and dissecting frogs. She was ia Balfour Oratory Contestant and deserved to be. She telephones to Grand Coulee very fre- quently.
