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.

He took part in Hamlet, follow' me this a year a later with a greater success in Much Ado About Nothing At the same time he was active in the work ofthe C O. T.

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.

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.

A. M. D. course, and she has remained at the post despite violent likes and dislikes lor various subjects. Alpha Kappa Chi is her sorority. Last year she was at Alpha House, this year she is .1t Beta Hall. JEAN ABBOTT DOBSON Her armor is her honest thought, And sirnpletruthhcrutrr10stsleilll jean tells us that the background for her Arts course at Western was Tilbury Continuation School and Chatham Collegiate Institute, She seems to always have had the happy faculty of indulging in a generous amount of amusement without sacrificing her chances for an A + in the coming exam. When the Glee Club had Somethin' Doin' , 'lean took part, and the production ofthe l'High- waymann gave her the opportunity to warble some notes that were just nobody's business. Then we couldn't forget the very charming acolyte she made in Much Ado About Noth' ingw when she carried a Bible bigger than herself to the altar. This ambitious young lady intends to take a course at Ontario College of Education next year. Let's wish her health and happinessi her determination will bring success. NVith hair that's fair and curly too, A disposition sweet and true. A pal? You bet! Ofsports the best! Believe me, friends, she'll stand the test. MICHAEL FERGUS DONOHUE By my soul I swear There is no power m the tongue of man To alter me. A true Irishman, Ferg was born with a half' brick in his hand, but being also a true gentle' man he has not yet thrown it. His premier debut before the audience of this wicked world took place in this city on May 10th, 1906, As a smiling youngster, he took his place nobly in the classes ofSt. Michael's Separate School and as a beardless youth he descended so far as to attend L. C. C. I. In his usual quiet and unassuming way, Ferg linally entered the portals of Western, little sus' pecting that his cosmic nature would be trans' formed into a chaos ofindecision by the machin- ations of liendtsh professors. He has, however, weathered the storm and sails further upon the sea of Big Business. What will he lind there? Knowing him as we do, we predict success. Page Eighteen
