Her later years spent in Ontario have added a dignity and reserve typical of the East. Seldom is such A combination found, and being unusual, it is the more pleasing. In addition to holding the major orlice Evelyn has been the winner of a scholarship in Biology, chaplain ot' the Pi Sigma sorority, S. A.

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.

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.

From the London Public and Se:ondary Schools, Dnrnie made his appearance ar Western in the fall ol' '26. There he warmed the hearts ofthe students and more or less impressed those of his professors. He carried the tunes for the hand, wherever they went, and the dulect pleading of his sax is claimed to have inspired more than one Western team to victory. Throughout his undergraduate career he at' tended most of his lectures and usually showed aghmm:r ofintelligence ln tour years at Western, hy his pleasant, cheerful disposition and sincerity, he won many friends, and will ondouhtedly continue to do so until old St Peters hoary heart is Min the bag... Dornie showed marked executive ahilitv as Arts '30 treisurer and found time to take ad' vantage of mast of the opportunities Western offers for wellfrounded, social development, Who's Who are looking tor a line, upstand- ing young man ofjust this type. Marg is the most contagiously cheerful person that these pages depict. She has a laughing accompaniment for the must dirhcult situations such as tumhles with the profs. or Latin ex- ercises. This optimism has carried her down a shining path from Exeter to London Central and West' ern. By the way, her musical ahility has added an A. T. C. M. degree to her name. To say that she has given unstintingly of her music is merely to mention Marg's gracious generosity at dozens ofparties, teasand other school functionsg to which she has added tour years nt faithful work in the Little Theatre Orchestra and the Glee Club. She has held office in the Assembly, the Woman's Organization and Upsilon Iota Sigma sorority. There are many of us who know how sympa- thetic Marg is in our joys and sorrows. We love the way she gives herselfjust as she gives her music. Long after we have forgotten her contributions to school organizations we will remember her contributions to school life, her warm sympathy, her ready friendship and her infectious laugh, Our little ray of sunshine. Whether she emotes in her favorite role of Cleo or pokes the unsuspecting in the ribs, Hilda is an ardent devotee of the Edgar Question, philosophy of happiness. Ask her for a smile and you'll get a gring and ask her for a grin and you'll get a laugh. lt's no motley laugh, either, for it has that rare complement, a well-developed cerebral cortex, Huldie is an alumnae of London Central C011 legiate and a star student lthis is uncensoredl of the Secretarial Course. She is a member ofthe Players' Club and achieved a brilliant histrionic success as Etta, the maid with repressions in You and I. She has played on the Tennis Team and throughout her course has played basketball for '30. In her junior and Senior years, she was available for use in the capa- city of secretary to members of the Gazette, and has served on two year executives. Also, she is secretary to the 1930 Occidentalia. Politicf ally, she has figured on the S. A, A. and is a worthy suifragette in womens work. Harry is one of those who can vouch with Peter McArthur that to have been born and raised in the country is better than a university education. He early felt a desire to broaden the Held ofhis vision and since he found delight in juggling with sines and cosines, it was not surprising to End him in '26 registered at West' ern in the Honor Mathematics and Physics course. The wisdom of his choice has been amply justified by his successg having formed the habit at Exeter High School, he found no difhf culty in cornering a prize in his first year. Besides his academic work, many activities have claimed a stare ofHarry's time. A lover of music and a philosopher, one has but to converse with him to appreciate the broad held of his 'nterests Quiet, unassuming, a deep thinker, a hard worker and a true friend are time tested qualities which we know will stand Harry in good stead as he embarks hence on the adven- ture oflife.
