In tact she's the must likeable person you could want to know. Mike conquested the easy dithcultics of Iirantf ford Public Schools and Collegate but Iound more real delight on the ivoryfebony keyboard. However, the lure ol higher education brought her to Western to register in English and French. She liked it and was making great progress when -and ag.nn Gertrude was lured, She decided to hie her away to some more practical work and become an MD, Not that it was just a notion. She said she had really always wanted to be a doctor. So now she will be llirting with skulls and crossbones in embryo fashion till 1934. Mike has been an active member and on the executive oi several organizations. Her charm' ing personality will persist in the memory of those who have known her and loved her. Her chief hobbies are her Airedale Ladthe, hiking and ssh! massages. Oller her a massage and you are her friend. 7 LLOYD GALLAGHER MARGUERITA GARNER l'Tnn new mt made for failure, you were made fur mrtrny gr1j0rwr1rdl fGeOrge: Eliot, Lloyd has already shown ability in business and we wonder it' he acquired it in Waterdown where he spent his early years playing with an express cart.

' Peggy drifted into Western through the gen' ial portals of the Summer School by way of Glencoe High School, St. Hilda's, Toronto, and the London Normal School. She elected the French and English course and as a preliminary carried olf the Saunders Prize for French essays, As a member of the Pi Alpha Alpha sorority she was chosen secretary of that organization. We'lI have to admit Peggy is not a paragon. She has her weaknesses. Hush! You won't tell? They're Peanuts, Persians and Percolators. Page Twenty

Riss is one of those reliable but rare individuals who would rather wash dishes after a party than beam from a platform, Of course, you know what sort of things are done up in small parcelsg Riss is really no skyscraper. You could see her at any hour making progress about the libraryg glasses sliding towards the end of her noseg Grimm under one arm and Larousse under the otherg and of course, a Chevalier smile. Rissie came from London Central Collegiate and decided that the unfortunate French and Germans needed her, so she studied modern languages. She ate pretzels and weiners at the Deutscher Verein and does props and costumes for the Players' Club.
