-U N was PXSITY on-' some srtau oumuxlo. , 4 'SX UNIVERSITY Lj.,Qj'f1l.1jl' rzoiriaoia ff! LORNA DORIS BLAKE SARA ELIZABETH BOGUE WILLIAM T. BOYES Her deep blue eyes smile constantly-as if they had by jimess Won the secret ofa happy dream, she does not care to speak. In her dream flights, Lorna satisfies her idealis- tic cravings and then returns to a keen interest in the Whys and wherefores oflife. The bounds of Springfield Continuation School were too narrow for her asoirations as she came to L. S. C. I., where frog operations and logarithms occupied her attention, Lured by a scholarship, she came to Western, where we found her on her hrst registration clay thought' fully planning how she could best crowd a French, English and German course into four short years. Ambitionsl After two years, she cletcided to reserve the English poets for a later re erence. Shlet hasbserved on the French Club Executive and as een an enthusiastic member of the Hesperian and German Clubs. Will any of us readily forget Lorna's flashes of wit which Sent us into Hts oflaughter no matter how tedious the work at hand? We told you Lorna was ambitious. Her am- bition is to be a secretary at Geneva or to write another Faust. Too low they build, who build beneath the stars. Have you ever heard Sara mention Strathroy? No, well, you haven't heard her talk then, for you can't know one without the other. From Strathroy Collegiate Sara's path to the stars has led her to Classics at Western. Here her cap' ability and vivid personality have led her into almost every organization but the C. O. T. C.! she is president of Group VI. of the Womans Organization, convener ofthe Women's Welfare Committee for 192960, secretaryetreasurer of Pi Sigma sororityg a representative on the asf semblyg on the year basketball team: member of the Players' Club and in several plays. You might put Sara into a book, you would have difficulty putting her into a chapter, but just try to put her into a paragraph! Suffice it to say that Sara's dominant characteristic is her unfailing humor, and few among her many friends have not laughed some time or other at her description of rushing the gods to Romeo and Juliet or the unreasonahleness of profs. Alpha House, Beta Hall and Western will not soon forget Sara, A man, a mari-there'a rl man lmue ui Canadal' Finding the conhnes of Aylmer High School too restricted for his rapidly expanding genius, Bill came to Western in 1926 with a Carter Scholarship in his pocket, Lured hy the gold in them that hills he signed up with Honor Geology and during the subsequent four years attended all the dances, most ofthe games and quite a few lectures. His gcnialty won hun hosts of friends and his ability brought him a prominent place in student allfurs. He served on the Students' Assembly and also associated himself with various other student activities, Two of his vacations were spent in Northern Ontario where he mapped rivers, shot rapids, and grew a heard of such herceness that Indian mothers still quiet their papooses by saying Bill Boyes will get you if you don't watch out. Bill's sterling qualities have won him .1 mem' bership in Sigma Kappa Sigma and several ollices in the Geology Club. He leaves Western with our best wishes for good luck and continued success. HELEN BROWN And wide as ether her gunrlfwillf' f H Wnlrdxwrnth. Sack and sugar gave Sir john his good humor, but Helen gets hers from apples and celery. This isn't an infallible recipe because there's more than mere diet at the seat of these smiles. If you're having any trouble just lean on Helen's shoulder and in two minutes, you'll be quoting poetry. After tossing sunbeams around London South Collegiate, Helen arrived on the hill to parley Francais and spreched Deutsch and now she does, Modern languages didn't take all her time for she benevolently guide the alfairs of state for Group I, in her spare moments-both of them. She also served the basketball team as an inspiraf tion and is no slouch at flipping the hoops. There's one thing we know, Helen: Esperanto won't make much headway while you're1nstrucf ting about Madame Punster and model auxili- aries. Page F 1 fteen

5 ' N UNIVERSITY 4 je-'faq 1 COLLEGE -um Ptsrrv orr xvcsrcim ONTARIO. DOROTHY c:i3RTRooE BALLS MURRAY LLEWELLYN BARR MARGARET BELL MILDRED B4 BINKI-EY Hamtlire, ny111pl1,1l1ul hrmgwlth thee 'lest and ylmthfitl Vyrillityf' With her 'Aquipsn and wreathed smiles, Dorothy goes tripping through life, impelled by a tremendous energy and animation. Often she pauses. listening now to someones troubles, revelhng now in dainty china or the hues of a Xl'lntCf sunset. Woodstock Collegiate dismissed her with a fond adieu, but was forced to press a flurly good- sized scholarship into her hand. She came to Western, and has tripped through the French and German Course in her characteristic way. Here too. scholarships iusr naturally drifted her wav. Not that studies engrossed her attentlong indeed it took ri close observer to see when she did work. For two years she has been on the Executive of the Hesperian Club, and in her senior year, President of the German Club. A capacity for work, and also for fun, an airy wit. an artistic appreciation, a quick inderstandf ing of people and things 'these are a few of Dorothyfs characteristics. She says her ambition is a PhD.--in the meantime willcontent herself with teaching the seven classes of German verbs and exceptions in French. Beloved of the dixtrtlcted multitude, Murray made his how in 1908 near Belmont. A horn optimist, he registered in the B.A.,M D. Course at Western. His ability to concentrate has earned for him prizes in French and English, the General Science scholarship in hisjunor year and certificate A in infantry. Although professing the motto Mii1d your own business but mind it well, he iseverattheservice ofthe chap in difficulty and of his fellow meds as secretary of the Hip' pocratic Society. Murray enioys discussing abstract philosof phical subjects and writing euphism. He is most happy, however, when on the open road and for him, all roads lead to Quebec. He claims to be charmed by the historic interest of the place, but we suspect Lex petites Camniiennesf' Murray hopes to receive his M.D. in '33, after which, between trips, he will minister to the ills of an unsuspecting humanity. Fofshe henelf is sweeter than The sweetest thing she knows. Marg's birth in Ripley a decade or so ago was her first practical joke and, as her victims know, it hasn't been her last. Living with her dis' closes more than the personality ofa quiet serious nature, it discloses an imp with a powerful sense of humor. She has a weakness for theologues, but she says, Love is just a passing fancy! She plays bridge and says, A'Bid tive no trump! And when skating or dancing come to an end, she says, 1 can't believe it's so late! Classics is her field of laborg her motto: Blessed is she who stands last so that all others may stand before her, isn't strictly true. She is a good student,alover ofbeauty andafriend. Marg graced Wingham with her presence almost as much as Ripley. Wingham High School awarded her a scholarship, Western the Zoology 10 prizeg Marg is in the S. C. M., has been secretary and vicefpresident of A. K. X. and secretary ofBeta Hall. To those who know her MOI, no words can paint: And those who know her, know all wovds are famt.' The Freshman Class of '27 all remember Mil's golden red curls ancl her A grades. The curls are now, alas, confined by amber hairpins, but the high grades still keep on, and among other things, Mil is now the fastest shorthand writer in the University. So beware of what you sayp she'll have it all down in her little notebook. And il you don't think she'll be an incomparable solace to some distracted executive next year, you are all wrong. Her favorite pastime already seems to be saving the reputation of harrassed commerce men with big reports to be typed. If you never knew before that Stratford was a wonderful place, you know it now, because Bink is the proof. She'sjust been with us three years, but do we like her? And How! Page Fuuvtcrn

After two years, his liktngfor the subject caused hlm tochoose Math. as .I maior, Doug IS no exception to the saying that mathematicians are musical.
