After having assimilated the necessary quota otlknowl- edge at the llderton ContinuatIon School and London Central Collegiate, he determined to Investigate this matter so came to Western where he looked to the M.Ith. and Physics course for enlightenment. 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.

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.

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

CROSS .Quefa1me les gens qui disent ce tpfilx pensentf' Enid is one of those delightfully frank people who call a spade a spade, or even two spades. and yet is able to keep her friendships intact. Her frankness is only exceeded by her generosity which has prompted her to lend her books or her home on various occasions with ready kindness. Her background is London, and therefore unimpeachahleg her future lies in making some good use of an Honor course in English and French. Besides doing the required amount, but no more, in her course, she was in the Glee Club production, Something Doin'. She played basketball for the year, she has been a successful and energetic president of Group X. and she is an earnest worker for sororities. being a charter member of Alpha Kappa Chi. Enid has infinite executive ability which she has had lots of opportunity to use at Western. Her specialty is to he convener of the Food Committee, and for this reason Enid hopes there is no food in heaven. Her energy and good nature must forge a successful path for her where, ever she chooses to go. ln the autumn of 1926 this gentleman came from the dim confines of the L C.

The Hesperian Club claimed his ser- vices, Through three years he designed the Club's posters, and was a faithful attendant at its meetingsg with varied activities he has main' tained a high standard of scholarship, which we trust will follow him in all his future work.
