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.

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.

ALICE DUCKETT. Alice was born before the War. The first object to take her fancy was a. picture of Mary Piekford. She has adored Mary ever since with the result that she is the only girl in IV A who has not put up childish things. ' ' Her skill in adopting Kilties is to be admirefl, also her manner- of ap- peasing their scornful Wrath. Her hobby is reading love stories. She invariably falls in love With the heroes. Not content With that, she bores her friends to death .raving about them. Some. day she will ap- pear in the title role in Drury Lane Theatre, London. BIOLOGY CLASS IV. A, R.C.I. Gir1's Athletic Association Much attention is given to the physical training of the girls of R.C.l. Probably this has been done on a, more elaborate scale this year, than ever before, owing to the great interest taken by the girls themselves, as well as, the untiring efforts of the Physical lnstructress, Miss P. McNeill. Sport is an important factor of this training, managed by the Girls? Athletic Association. The associationis executive members are: Hon. Pres.-Miss H. B.
