Donald Weeks . . • Don, who has gone to the College since Grade VIII, is what might be called the classicist of our Class. He is the only student taking four languages, French, Latin, Greek and English, in his senior year. Besides this, Don has read widely on Medieval Architecture, and is absorbedly interested in English Cathedrals. He isn ' t quite sure what he wants to be, but we ' re sure he ' ll succeed in whatever he takes up. Kevin Molloy . . . Kevin came from Victoria, where he attended St. Louis College. He has achieved distinction in a short time. Last fall he made the head- lines with his play at the fullback position, and by some short-sighted pressman ' s error was dubbed the mighty midget. (He actually has the build of a Hercules). When the exam results come out, Kevin ' s name is sure to be near the top of the list. Terrence Burns . . . Terry, a student at V.C. in his grammar school days, returned to take Senior. He is a quiet, conscientious fellow with a cheery, happy-go- lucky disposition. He intends to follow his father ' s foot- steps and enter the Civil Service. Harold Gatien . . . Harold, a boarder, hails from Kamloops and is new this year from Campion College, Regina. His two favorite diversions are singing the praises of his home town and proclaiming the superi- ority of the C.N.R. over all other railroad systems. He ' d like to study architecture, but also likes to travel. Someday, when I ' ve seen the world , he muses, I think I ' ll settle down . . . South America, perhaps . . . they say Rio ' s beautiful”. Frank Boyle . . . Has made many friends at the College. He has plenty of fire and energy both in the classroom and on the gridiron. Ambition to be a T.C.A. pilot, for as he theorizes at the slightest provocation, Aviation is in its infancy and the demand for pilots is going to be increasingly persistent. Besides, flying is interesting . Bcurke Tepoorten . . . Bourke has been at V. C. since 1933. Two months ago he was called into service with the Dental Corps and is at present in New West- minster. Good-natured and with an eye for the bright side of life, he made a friend of everyone. He has sung in the Glee Club and played end on the football team. His hobby is photography, but his ambition is to be a first-rate dentist, to carry on the Tepoorten tradition. [21 ]
