ue ' Uf,nee i. Qoldt Class A (r PlUR class, though small in number, is one of extremes. From -y diminutive, golden-voiced Gladys to Big Jim Clark, the eight members of Class A represent as diverse a group as can be found in the Calgary Branch. As a whole the class tends to be athletically inclined. Their interest in sports and their desire to enter the teaching profession are about the only features common to all members. Gladys Griffin-Beale, the class youngster , must find it quite a problem to make room for the odd hour of school work in her timetable. Beside singing and music lessons Punchy is kept busy with many sports. If asked how she managed to find time to edit the Evergreen and Gold she might look up from her diamond soxs and sigh, I don ' t know! Dorothy Heumann is one of the two people from A whose home is not in Calgary. She hails from Mirror where the academic grounding must be good. As well as making top marks in many of her courses, Dot, bowls a good game. Her originality enabled her to write on short notice the entire script for our programme on the life of Robert Burns. Jack Freidenburg ' s star piano pupil, Lome Bunyan, is another A classer with a wide range of interests. Besides his music, Lome engages in a wide range of school sports with enthusiasm. His works in Art class are out of this world. It is hard to understand how he can have such a sense of humor after his R.C.A.F. career as a Wireless Air Gunner. Jim Clark must long to have floors heave a bit occassionally to remind him of Navy days. Another of our five-star athletes Jim is head of the basketball for the school. The way he handles that big frame in the gym is a revelation and it ' s easy to see why he hopes to special in Phys. Ed. For awhile we had quite a time deciding whether Ellenore Fraser our High-Riverite was in A class or not. Having been involved in University intricasies last year, she has a‘special course. Ellenore is in charge of the Lits where her previous experience helps toward the success of our Friday afternoons. She rates another E for excellent in school spirit. Gordon Jepson is our representative to the Students ' Council. As treasurer, he is kept busy with an eye on the economic pulse of our school. Along with Student Council activities, Gordie takes many sports in his stride, and is a sharp-shooter on the basketball squad. Norman Smith, our other ex-sailor, is noted for his versatility. Norm ' s copper hair can be seen flashing in almost any of the many scenes of school sport, for he bowls, plays both basketball and hockey well, and excels in tumbling. With smiling eyes and soft tenor voice, Norm bolsters the Choral Society immensely. He is also a regular member of the I.V.C.F. Class A would not be complete without Ted Fisk who was formerly in the air force. His intellectual countenance often appears in the philoso¬ phical society of which he is Secretary-treasurer. As well as being head of the Bowling Club, Ted also takes an active part in hockey, basketball, bad¬ minton and table-tennis. In these thumbnail sketches perhaps we have indicated a certain amount of pride. Call it pride or what you will, each knows that his life will be enriched as a result of spending a few months with these pleasant associates. Page Eighteen
