Ivy Moulder Torlief Larsen Betty George Burton Seale Mary Chomyc Philip Austin IVY MOULDER Hardisty: Ivy is the only straight second year girl who has completed both years here, and her happy smile and blonde curls have rendered her a popular waitress. A hard worker, she is seen to advantage on the dance floor as well as in the class room. TORLIEF LARSEN Irma: For all round athlete the palm this year undoubtedly goes to Torlief, the hockey team’s deadly shooting centre, and captain of the aggressive Viking” basketballers. He also shines at gymnasium work. His influence in all athletics has been of the best, and the students owe much to Toriief s wise and efficient guidance as chairman of the Gym. Committee. A good steady student, he is a young man on whom we look with pride and confidence in his future. ELIZABETH IRENE GEORGE Lioydminster: Betty ' s dark little head has brightened many committees and other activities, and there ' s a lot in that fascinating head too—as her winning of the all round scholarship at O.S.A. in the first year girls last year will indicate. As a bed wrecker she is unexcelled, but her warm-hearted fun was never taken amiss, and she leaves a host of friends in both wings. BURTON SEALE Wainwright: Another man who was in such a hurry for his education that he went to Olds for his first year. Repenting his indiscretion, Burton heard the call of the North, landed in our halls of learning last fall, and has never regreted his action. The championship in cattle at the Little Royal” indicates one of Burton ' s interests, and his work in the carpentry and blacksmithing classes speaks for itself. Being of a quiet disposition he does not advertise his other activities, but we might state that he is very popular with the occupants of the East Wing. His chief pastime, finding alternative methods of working math, problems. MARy CHOMyC Musidora: Mary brightened the halls of the O.S.A. last year, but decided to get a little finish at the nearer V.S.A. As a waitress she has shown herself capable of seeking the nearest way to the masculine heart, and has no foolish underestimate when it comes to supply¬ ing pancakes. Good luck, Mary, keep that cheery smile of yours! PHILIP MERL AUSTIN Ranfurly: One of the gang that brightened O.S.A. halls last year, he decided V.S.A. was much more attractive. Philip has a decided ability for upsetting beds. He might also be a musician, if he played any¬ thing but a jew’s harp. Sob stuff is Philip’s strong suit, and he would do well over the radio.

Cordon Wilson Cordon Clarke Lester Severson Roy Hawkins Edward Sloan Norman Heath GORDON WILSON Vermilion: This lanky good-natured laddie refused to be stampeded into going down to Olds for his second year when the V.S.A. shut down, but loyally awaited our reopening. Gifted with a sardonic sense of humour, and a fund of anecdotes, sometimes original, Gordon has wended his cheerful way through his college career. He takes things as they come, and can take quite a lot at that. He makes a noise in the orchestra, and helps to drown the mistakes of the drummer. Gordon will get there, and no fuss about it. GORDON CLARKE Streamstown: A woman hater he says, but manages to hide it. Gordon came to the V.S.A. after a winter at the Saskatchewan University, and registered in the second year. He has been pluck personified throughout a bout of sickness, which has interfered greatly with his class work, but has nevertheless got a lot out of the course here, and contributed much to the well being of the school itself. A gifted dancer, Gordon will long be remembered by those with whom he came in contact. LESTER SEVERSON Sedgewick: Few presidents of the Students’ Council have received the well merited respect and support of the students as has the genial Lester. His facile ability of saying just what he means, in a few words and then stopping, is well known in the council, or when welcoming a visitor to the school. Severson’s Year’’ will go down as one of the most successful the V.S.A. has enjoyed, and not the least of this success is due to the president himself. In his lighter moments, Lester has frequently entertained us at dances and Lits with his guitar. An all round man, who gains by giving. ROY HAWKINS-Lloydminster: Roy faithfully waited over a year, while the V.S.A. was shut down, till he could come to Vermilion again to complete his course. He was unlucky enough to come back from his Christmas holidays with a dose of measles, which held him down for a bit. Famous as knife bender, Roy is always on the lookout to help the school and the other fellows, so has made a host of friends who sincerely regret the inevitable parting. EDWARD SLOAN Mannville: At the Little Royal this year, Mr. Craig, the Deputy Minister of Agriculture, stated: Never have I seen blacksmith work, at any of the Agricultural Schools, to compare with that on exhibition today.’’ The first prize work was a set of tools, hoof pincers, etc., made by Eddie out of old Ford axles. He is certainly a ver¬ satile man with his hands, and his head, and the condition of the bull he exhibited at the Royal was something to see and to be remembered. Coming from Ireland some ten years ago, Eddie is from a family who know the meaning of being thorough. We believe he has benefitted by the course here, and we have un¬ doubtedly benefitted from having known him. As a farmer, he will be one of those at whom we can look with pride—a credit to himself and the V.S.A. NORMAN HEATH Lloydminster: Norman is one of these unselfish chaps who is apt to hurt his own class standing through being so busy helping other folks. A product of the McLaughlin district which has sent so many fine students to the V.S.A., Norman took his first year at Olds last year, while we were closed down. A natural leader, Norman will make his mark as a farmer, and in other lines in his community. [ Page ten ]
