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.

HODGINS lDA AGNES HOGG ROGER ALFRED JACKSON Well, Aljred 'mm llleullqr'x The Helter Ulu. Ever since 1910 Alf has followed that lire which burns on the mountains from Thorndale andthe L C C. I. to Western. Strange to re- late Alf began in Biology hut soon changed to English and History. The change is easy to ex' plain because his interests he Ill men rather than in things and he very early reeoenized the truth of that great statement that the nohlest study of mankind is man. Actually there was no change for the humanities demand as much ofthe reasoning eemus as any science. And genius Alfred Hohhs does not lack Nor has the flame been smothered with fuel. Alf has hecn ready tosoldier. todanceg totenlus, to pl.tyChancel' lor of the Exchequer to the Hesperian Club. Alt' is always up and dome Frank was horn in 1906. His home town is Wiartnn on Georgian Bay. Having obtained his junior Matriculaition there, he left school and devoted himself to other activities. However, after three years, Frank found his tastes had changed and he returned to get his Upper School certificate. In this last year of school, he ae- quxred a taste for Maths which led him to regis- ter in Mathematics and Physics at Western. After two years in this course his aptitude tor Mathematics had not diminished and he decided on the Mathematics option. She tx made up of an ntteusest life, A prmelple of restlessness. Wlnrh uoultl sae ull, lqnbuf all, feel all. To live intensely is imperative for Ida. She reads widely, thinks deeply, and feels keenly. Therefore, her grasp of things and subjects and people is immense. lda's school career, prior to Western, centered in Seaforth Collegiate and London Normal School. Then she gave her attention to impart' mg knowledge through some years of teaching. Her amazing capacity for study has been evident in two years ofE lglish and History work here. Nevertheless, she has been an interested and faithful member of the S. C. M., the Cercle Francais, and the Hesperxan Club of which she was vicefpresident this year. She has other interests such as nature study, tennis and music You'd like her opinions on psychology and mar' mage too. Her greatest aversion is cold weather. We have an idea that our scholarly friend will eo far in the world because she aspires high. Whether she explores the tropics or the unchart- ed seas ofimagination she will retain her love of common things, her sympathetic understanding and her untailing, kindness. Nothing can be mme xmplnlosoplncal than to be positive or dogmatic un any subject. -Hume Roger opened his campaign in Detroit in 1907 He came to Western from London Central Col' legiate, with no mean scholarship tucked under his arm, and requested the longest term they could give him. Without hesitation he was sen- tenced to seven years hard labor in the B. A. M. D. course. Roger is a clear and logical thinker and is not particularly backward in presenting his own views or objecting to those of others. He is characterized by a hearty and justlhable dislike for dogmatism in any form and maintains a strictly scientific attitude towards all subjects. Roger is a holder ofCertihcate A in mfanf try, has served in the Players' Club and wields the trombone to good effect in both the Umverf sity Orchestra and Band. Possessed of selticontidence. seasoned by good judgment, Roger cannot but meet success in the healing art. Page Tufenly-jlmv
