HAROLD R. CAMPBELL. Men there are who have made a bigger splash in the turbulent waters of college life; men there may be who have sailed faster but few have sailed so true, or been so ready to pull a heavy oar or pour oil upon the troubled element as Harold R Campbell. Though no star in soccer nor conquering gladiator in the icy arena yet H. R. has so developed his body as to have held down with credit the Editorial bench of the ’Toba Journal and the president’s chair of the first United College Literary Society. Harold was ever a worker and a dangerous rival in scholastic achievements. Annually he has hung at his girdle a pecuniary scalp in the May massacres. We shall remember Harold as a genuine student who sought and obtained the best in college life and as a tireless worker in every student task. Harold goes out into the world of letters with our wish that he may carve for himself a career worthy of his college beginning. ‘ ‘ And though that he were worthy he was wys. And of his port as meek as is a mayde; He nevere yet no vileynye ne sayde, In al his lyf. unto no maner wight He was a verray parfit, gentil knyght. C, T. T. FRANKLIN KAY COLLINS. ‘ ‘ Yeni, vidi, vici. ’ ’ One bright day in October, 1892—the thirtieth, to be exact—the shrill hoots of the threshing outfits around Miami were disturbed by a new rival sound. It was the clarion call of Franklin Kay Collins newly arrived. In 1909 he came to ’Toba and after crossing the Rubicon of the Matriculation, entered the First year with the Fourteens in 1910. Kay was somewhat of a leader in his first year on account of his experience. As an inter-class debater he made his mark by winning the opening debate. When Sophomore year and dramatics came, he was in the lime light as leading man, a role which he sustained with great eclat. In athletics he has always been conspicuous, both on the field and in executive—senior football and senior hockey in his third year prove his prowess. Al¬ though not a star track man, he has brought to light more than one celebrity in his ca¬ pacity of inter-class captain. Kay might fitly be described as the “bulldog” of the Fourteen Class. Such character¬ istics as determination and tenacity will win him a high place in life. His ambition is to see himself Chief Justice, and, if he meets all his difficulties in after life as he has those of his academic life, he should not fall much short of his mark. ‘ ‘ Then welcome each rebuff That turns earth’s smoothness rough, Each sting that bids nor sit nor stand but go!” T.

HENRY CROOK. HENRY DENNISON •‘Dennison, ‘phone, oh Denny-” rings along the hall and a broad-shouldered youth of good-natured appearance responds, a good solid armful, as all the inen of the class will agree, especially those who have met him on the wrestling mat. He is always busy, his mind filled with plans for Sunday classes and new executives and kindred matters. He is an except ionally good judge of men and their capabilities and has a happy knack of persuading men to work on the various propaganda he has outlined. In his position as President of the Y.M.C.A. in his senior year, he kept a good number active. His method of working is by thorough organization in everything. Dennison, though he took his matriculation in Portage and Brandon, made sure of get¬ ting to Wesley for Arts. He is an enthusiast in everything that claims his attention. Though numberless self-set tasks crowd out his study-period night after night he manages, occasionally, to come within the scholarship circle. Now we must not forget to mention his tendency toward inventiveness. No door boasts a more successful barricade than his and the devic-e by which he keeps the text-book suspended at the proper angle before his chair is amazing. His face and voice never betray him. The sincere tone with which he offers kindly condolence to the freshman whose room he has recently “bummed,” throws off all sus¬ picion. He occupied a place in his year that could not have been so well filled by any one else. The years to come will probably find him in some kind of ministerial work. ‘ ‘ A soul as full of worth as void of care, Which nothing seeks to show or needs to hide.” W. B. Brimful of energy, fostered and guided by ambition and ability, Henry has stood the ’14 test and is with us even unto the end. He threw in his fortunes with ours in First Year and since then has been one of the “boys.” Henry has developed himself in every way since he came to College, and we have come to look upon him as a man whom we can depend upon, whether to do committee work or fill a place on the class hockey team. Nor has he neglected the aesthetic department of his education. Whether a College or Class function, Henry was always there, accompanied by-a cousin. Manitoba may well be proud of her son, with his sturdy frame and strong common sense. He is a typical Westerner, with an unassuming manner but an unmistakable ability to “get there.” It is these traits that win respect and friendship everywhere. He is popu¬ lar among the boys and his winning smile has wrought no little havoc in the Ladies’ Parlor. Henry specialized in Political Economy and Mathematics, and his smile varies directly with the difficulty of his problems, and on the question of Women Suffrage he speaks as a man of authority. To a man with Henry’s training, ability and ambition, the future holds forth unbound ed promise, and we will not venture to prophesy beyond predicting a success in whatever profession he enters. “Keeps his counsel, does his duty, Clings to his friends and loveth beauty.” Page 70
