. l IC- fi? JOHN JERRY NAFDONALD Margaree, Nova Scotia John Jerry Macdonald was born in Margaree, Nova Scotia, which 'tsits like a gem of the sea on the bosom of the broad Atlantic. He was graduated from Horton Academy, later studied at Acadia University, 'Wolfville, Nova Scotia, where he was noted for his punctual attendance at lectures. The next step of his career was still as student, and at the Alberta Normal School of Calgary. From here he entered professional work, teaching a few years in the schools of Alberta and British Columbia. Mr. MacDonald came to the States for the first time in 1911 when he entered Valparaiso University. Here he has pursued Scientific and Classic work a11d adding now and then some professional work.

In his life as a student and a teacher Mr. Macdonald faces the world seriously and earnestly.

Alexander, not spelled with an HE, has a birthday each year, Jan. 5, and has just passed twenty-tive such epochs.
