MONG th. e many valuable lessons learned by Business during the past months not only has there been a greater apprec¬ iation of the value of consistent advertising, but also the importance of getting the most in return for every advertising dollar. ESPECIALLY IS THIS TRUE IN THE PURCHASE OF PRINTING! 1 he right lor the consumers dollars is being waged fiercely. Advertising appropriations are being increased. The quality of advertising is reaching new heights. As a result only advertising of outstanding merit can hope to imprint itself on the prospect s mind with sufficient force to stimulate action.

Wh ere Are Th ey Now? J. F. ANDREW, formerly our genial livestock instructor, is now Assistant Deputy Minister of Agriculture in Edmonton; we welcome him back occasionally when the course of duty brings him to his former haunts. MISS MARJORIE ALEXANDER , now Mrs. Max Palmer, is with her husband and pretty nearly brand new daughter in Hamburg, Ger¬ many, where Mr. Palmer is Assistant Trade Commissioner, for Canada. MISS FERN EDWARDS completes her course at Manitoba Agri¬ cultural College in April, graduating with the degree of B. Sc. in House¬ hold Economics. W. R. BROWN is still sojourning in Minnesota, doing advanced work in science. J. A. PERRIE, formerly third year instructor is training for the Ministry at Knox College, Toronto. H. M. BAKER recently was forced, through ill health, to resign his position as Principal of the Public School at Hythe, Alberta. J. W. HOPKINS, whom the 1926-27 students will remember ashaving initiated them into the intricate knowledge of mathematics is now in charge of plots at the University of Alberta and his son JACK is at pre¬ sent at Rothampstead, England, carrying on advanced post graduate work. Well may we be proud of our University contingent, consisting of BILL MEAD, FRANK WOOD, PETER WYLLIE, WALTER STONE, HAROLD WALLACE, “SAMPSON” JOHNSON, NICK STRYNADKA FRED STRASHOK, ED. BARBER, ARNOLD PLATT, LINDEN BOLTON, JACK MILLIGAN and one lone lady DONNA OXFORD. Rumor has it that many of them were attracted to the University of Alberta by the presence of ELLEN WALKER, GRACE SHANDRIUK and ISA COLBORNE who are training as nurses at the University Hospital. Arnold Platt may possibly deny this. Our contribution to Edmonton educational institutions is further enhanced by the presence of MARION DIXON, KATHLEEN MAIN- WARING, ROSS BACON and ERIC HALE at the Provincial Normal School. ETHEL WALKER, popular h ere two years ago, was recently seen at Mannville accompanied by HER HUSBAND, none other than JIM ALLANACH. CHARLIE FINLEY was seen getting his money s worth at the banquet of the Mannville Agricultural Society lately. MYRTLE DIXON was married during the past summer to Jack Dorsheid and is happily settled at Grande Prairie. MISS RUTH STONE, once queen of the keys in the office in the old building, is also a married lady and is also satisfied to call the Peace River country, home. MISS BEATRICE WILLIAMS and MISS INGER RIIS are located, respectively in the teaching profession in Edmonton and the School of Agriculture at Raymond. JACK HOUSEZ, British Boy with the 1924-25 group, is now con¬ nected with the engraving department of McDeimid s Ltd., Edmonton. E. R. GIBSON, former student and mountain climber of no mean ability is this year keeping the boys in step at the Olds School of Agri¬ culture. WESLEY PLUMMER, two-in-one last year, is staying by the farm and spends his evenings figuring the probable price of wheat “next” year. ARCHIE McGILLAWES tired of this same occupation and has been with the Imperial Oil Co. at Dewberry for some time. PEARL RICHARDSON is at present engaged with the Singer Sewing Machine Co., at Vegreville; while her sister Ruby is on the Post Office Staff in the same town. DOROTHY GOULD of Islay, frequently attends V.S.A. dances and thus has the opportunity of renewing old school acquaintances. EFFIE JOHNSON entered with a class of girls to train as a nurse at the Lamont Hospital, on March 1st. Her training at V.S.A. will doubtless be of value to her. JIMMIE SHARP is now engaged in farming in the Edmonton district and will welcome former classmates on any visits they may make. IRENE CUNNINGHAM is married and resides near Vegreville. Her brother Lome is still single and is with his parents on the farm in the same district. W. LYLE ROBINSON is a progressive farmer in the Vermilion district and has done well with shorthorn cattle, especially in the show ring. BILL DAVIES, formerly with the British Boys’ Class of 1929, is working in a store in Sedgewick, but keeps up contact with the school by a very robust correspondence with our stenographer. When his letters arrive she may be heard singing “Happy Days are Here Again, — when the mail is uninteresting she changes to “Why Did You Make Me Cry? ” JACK STRATHERN, British Boys’ Class, 1924-25, who married Principal Elliott’s daughter, is manager of the Co-operative store at Bentley. KENNETH PRIOR, member of one of the earliest V.S.A. classes, is at present an agricultural missionary in Africa. He expects to visit Canada shortly, later going to the University of California to specialize in work on tropical fruits. A. W. BRIGGS, two-in-one of last year, is attending Varsity along with others mentioned above. EDSEL JONES, 1929, attended Calgary Tech, in 1930 and has been instructing in blacksmithing at V.S.A. this winter. [ Page thirty-five ]
