£,o.e Uf iee i QoJA Class E HE smallest class, consisting of seventeen students, at the Faculty is Class E. E for excellent, enthusiastic, energetic, eager, and eternal homework! This group is taking the accelerated four month course and will reunite at Edmonton this summer where old friendships will be renewed and tales of exuberant experiences will flow incessantly before, between and after class periods. The home areas of Class E spread widely o ' er the prairies, foothills and mountains of Southern Alberta—the four corners being—Pincher Creek, Norma Simpson ' s snowy hometown: Bentley, from where Stuart Wilton comes: Chinook, the eastern point, proudly spoken of by Eleanor Morris and Anna Damsgard: and Rocky Mountain House, the western mountain¬ ous village from where Ed Jahrous hails. Although the group is small, we are not without talent; Margery Ell - Kornelson, (who insists there is only ONE way to pronounce her last name) sings very well; and Judy Aoki, the class representative, is a whip at bowling. George Milner is very fond of psychology but can ' t seem to find the psycho¬ logical reason for being late for early 8 a.m. psychology periods. To keep continuity in paragraph structure, we must add that we are not without weaknesses: Billy Pauls and Jake Harder (recently seen flying to catch a very early A.M. hour streetcar) are haunted by those trouble¬ some gremlins—the subordinate conjunctions and clauses. Florence Ash¬ ton too, has grammar troubles—she has the habit of saying, Ken ' n I . Edna Mae Walter spends most of her time misplacing her belongings while faithful detective Norma Simpson usually concludes the hunting excursions by finding the lost articles somewhere between the first and third floors. Anna Damsgard ' s pet weakness is a certain Ray” of sunshine, an indica¬ tion that Anna does not intend to make teaching her life career. Alice Mason, a tall slender girl from Granum, loves to relax and float away into daydreams (We ' d like to know their contents.) Eleanor Morris ' s pet hate is staying awake hours into the nights during the weeks of practice teaching and exams. The E ' s have been very active this year in spite of the heavy load they ' ve been carrying. Two of the students are on the Faculty Basketball teams—Stuart Wilton (a boy who loves to rub his feet on the waxed floors, touch his forefinger to the ear of a passing girl and then listen for results) and Ruth Hulland, the announcer for the Choral Society ' s Christmas radio broadcast. Also members of this class are well represented in the Dramatic Art Clubs and in the bass, tenor, alto and soprano sections of the Choral Society. The initial literary contestant was produced by Class E. The students with blackened faces and in colorful costumes presented a riotous minstrel show. Two of the show ' s highlights were Roy Lightfoot with his slow drawl and Eleanor Johnson, an adorable pickaninny wearing a winsome bonnet. All in all, the E ' s have had a very enjoyable and profitable four months at the Faculty. In the help the Faculty Staff has given them, they offer grateful thanks. Their many new and sincere friendships that have been made will be treasured through the coming years of teaching. Edna Mae Walters. Page Thirty-two
