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

O. T. C. is about the only school activity in which Ruth has not participated, ofhcially or otherwise. Of some she has been president, of another manager of Publicity, and of still another, Mistress of Wardrobe. But never fear for her academic life for Ruth has a keen sense of values, and so carried off the third Year General Proficiency prize, Now Ruth is ready for her career. Will she accept a position with Molyneux in Paris, or on Th: Ngw Ycrk Titre? But no such mightv considerations enter the mind of Ruth's friends. They know that her every undertaking will be accompanied by the same breadth of vision, sense of humor. and keen interest in humanity which shc has displayed while at Western. Another comer to Western from the thriving little village of St. Thomas. His age? That doesn't matter anyway, because Milt says a man is as young as he feels. Having absorbed an un- certain amount of knowledge in the St, Thomas Collegiate he arrived at Western in the fall of'26, registering in Commerce. His voluminous and enlightening answers seemed to impress Prof. Morrow to the extent of giving him a pass each year. Activities consisted of playing on Westerns Intermediate Rugby teams for three years, and on the First Senior team. Hockey also claimed his attention, and it is rumored that the Port Elgin Wild-Cats are bidding strongly for his services as an outhelder. He has served on the Arts '30 executive, and has heen active in the Commerce Club. Milfs a Pi Tau Kappa man, and has heen president ofthe Fraternity in its hrst year.
