BOOK Page twenty-five CHARLES J. ARMAND POWLETT—Born in 1914, Armand has a sound brain and a good heart. After having attended a private school at the Coast, he came to Calgary at the beginning of last year and now attends W.C.H.S. He hates women like honey; they in turn regard him with a puzzled expression. He wants to be a lawyer, and judging by the skill with which he argues in our Debating Club he should be successful. He is an audible and laudable member of the Current Events Club. Along athletic lines, he indulges in wrestling. It is said that he is able to throw a bull. “His was the merriest eye, the lustiest laugh Of all the boys who thronged our noisy halls.” MARION ALBERTA SALMON—In the spring of 1915, Marion’s earthly adven¬ tures began in the little town of Langdon. Not finding enough to giggle at there, she. came to Calgary and has been quite content ever since. After wandering through various halls of learning, she finally stopped at Western where she takes great delight in amusing her fellow-students. We could not learn her ambition nor are her plans for next year made, but some day she intends to go to Varsity. “For I will eat and dance and play Until it’s time to hit the hay.” RICHARD SHARPI.ES—Dick is a Calgary product who entered life’s race in 1914. He received his educational foundatio n in Sunalta Public School. He is a member of the Hi-Y and an ardent rugby enthusiast. Under the guidance of Brews and Stevenson he is fast becoming a radio expert. He is undecided as to the future, but whatever his choice, we are sure he will be successful. “He is a scholar and a ripe and good one.” BETTY VERNA SITLINGTON—This young lady was born in Calgary, but for some reason she didn’t stay here long. After residing in Craigmyle long enough to take part of her High School education, she journeyed to Ontario where she spent a year. However, the wander-lust again seized her and she retraced her footsteps to Calgary, where she immediately entered the portals of Western. Betty’s chief ambition is to teach in some little red school-house, so next year will find her at Normal. “Everything succeeds with people of s veet and cheerful disposition.” KATHLEEN VIOLA SMITH—Kay was first heard from in Blairmore some nine¬ teen years ago. She came to Calgary to go to High School, and since has attended C.C.I. and Western. She spent last year at Normal, but she was not to embark on her teacher’s career so soon, and we have her back at Western. Kay is noted for her ability to create a disturbance at the back of Room 8. She says she has changed her mind about being a school-marm. “I live on the sunny side of the street.” JOHN STEVENSON—John entered this busy world in 1913. McDougall Public School gave him the start to his brilliant educational career. His hobby is building short-wave radios. Next year will see him at the University of Alberta learning to design sky-scrapers. John works hard, and certainly deserves the success we are sure he will attain. “A braw Scotch laddie wi’ curly hair, You won’t find a belter sport anywhere.” DOUGLAS CECIL STUART.—Douglas did his first vocalizing seventeen years ago in Calgary. He prepared himself for the honor of attending W.C.H.S. at Haultain. Swimming and skating are his favorite sports. Douglas is very- modest—he does not wish to startle the world with his inventions or his prize¬ winning novels, he merely desires to acquire a few millions and to travel. His career, like that of many of us, is in the hands of the gods. “None but himself can be his parallel!” MARGARET AGNES WEBSTER—Peggy made her first appearance in Scotland, but on hearing of Calgary, she crossed ocean and plain to Calgary. After eight years of preliminary suffering at Mount Royal she entered South Cal¬ gary and then followed the rest to Western. Her chief ambition at present is to pass Algebra 3. Next year she plans to go to Commercial. “Blessed with a disposition whose cheerful ray Makes to-morrow as cheerful as to-day.”
