GEO. H. LEE Glorious dreams and plans for a record finale to our college course in Wesley had brightened many an hour for the Stick during the summer of ’13 as he revelled in the de¬ lights of prairie baehelordom. That, as Stick of United College, he should use these plans to pilot the newly-wedded student bodies of ’Toba and Wesley through their first uncer¬ tain beginnings, was far removed from his mind. Well fitted by nature and training Geordie soon proved the wisdom of the students’ choice. Threshing experience, wielding the birch, Indian treaty money trip and active participation in various branches of athletics gave him tact, leadership and business ability —qualities indispensable in his appointed task. Unprecedented originality and success have as a result marked all the college functions of the year. Geordie ’s midnight performances on the top flat are also marked by the same qualities. Though often under suspicion he is rarely convicted and for rapid exits and magical chang¬ ing his record stands unchallenged. Yales yield quickly to his gentle persuasion but it- re¬ quires iron nerve and d auntless courage to pass his threshold with malicious intent. George is up and after, asleep or awake, and it takes a smooth get-away to elude his pursuit. The lithe, strong frame, manly figure and face with those laughing blue eyes and light wavy hair are well known and beloved by every United student from charming freshette to dignified B. D. man. United College may well be proud of her first Senior Stick and Souris feel honored that in her vicinity he uttered his first sounds. Medicine will claim George after graduation. “The mon of amplest influence, Yet clearest of ambitious crime, Our greatest, yet with least pretence; Great in council and great in war, Foremost captain of his time, Rich in saving common sense.” . r ' W. ' Ws . J. A. S. G. r GLADYS HANEY Abounding good fellowship, a sunny disposition, sportsmanship in the best sense of the word, combined with the will to attempt and ability to achieve are the characteristics which have made Glad Haney a leader among the girls and a Stick of which United College may well be proud. Winnipeg has always been Glad’s home, the site of the present Free Press building being her historic birthplace. Since coming to Wesley Gladys has responded readily to the many demands made by college life. Not only has she taken part in every branch of college athletics but her presence has been an essential factor in inter-collegiate sports. She has missed only three football matches, and not a single hockey match in five years. In debating, she was one of the first chosen to represent the ladies. All through her college course she lias held many important offices. The Class Executive was not complete without her, and Glad, in her final year as Lady Stick, has made a record that will be hard to surpass. Glad’s welcome of the freshettes, her power of making them feel that they ‘ ‘ belonged, ’ ’ her leadership and enthusiasm have won for her an enviable place in the hearts of the United girls, one and all. Our best wish for Gladys is that her life in the work-a-day world she is entering will be as happy and her influence as far-reaching as it has been in the idealistic college world she is leaving. “Lord, they’d have taught me Latin in pure waste. ” E.
