Page twenty-one [BOOK CLASS 1 - (Continued) BLODWEN MARY COGLAND—This damsel with the intricate name claims she was born in London. She came here last summer from Regina, and since then her practical jokes have been a constant source of hysteria to the girls of Class I. FREDERICK JAMES GARBUTT—Fred was born in Amherst, Nova Scotia, but came to Calgary at an early age. His ambition is to put two or three parts together to make a car which will run at least two days without needing an overhaul. Fred intends to go to Normal next year. ELVIN WESLEY HART—A jolly good fellow, at ease with himself and everyone else. To see his happy grin is a pleasure shared by everyone in his vicinity. He has two aims in life. One is to sit and think, and the other is, sometimes, just to sit. SAMUEL BRUCE JACOBS—While Bruce was still in his crib, he was very likely busying himself with the study of Newton’s first law of motion. Time changed that and he has become a very industrious student and a credit to Class I. Bruce is going to Normal in the fall. SUSANNAH JAMES—Sue took her first paddle in the chilly waters of Lake Win¬ nipeg, but even her Irish temper wasn’t hot enough to withstand the cold, so she came to Calgary. Let’s hope her Irish brogue and eyes don’t break too many hearts. JOHN MARTIN KING—King made his first appearance in Ohio in 1910. He argued his way to Tofield, Alberta, back to the States, and finally to Calgary. King is one of the fortunate persons who has enjoyed the pleasure of giving detentions, but he has returned to Western to receive them. He hopes to become a corporation lawyer. FRANCES WILLIAMINA LEGG—Frankie joined Western last year after attend¬ ing St. Hilda’s. She is noted for her mischievous brown eyes. So far as we know her two main ambitions are to remain at the back of the room for a whole “Lit” period and to become a kindergarten teacher. DOROTHY ELIZABETH LESLIE—Dorothy was born in sunny Alberta, seventeen years ago, and has kept it sunny with her smile ever since. She aims to be a school marm, so it’s Normal for her next year. MAXINE MARGARET MACKLIM—This happy person, otherwise known as “Mackie” was born in Calgary. She is usually seen placing a small, inoffens¬ ive piece of gum in the waste-paper basket, upon the command of some watch¬ ful teacher. “Mackie” intends to take up journalism. JOHN HENRY MARRIOTT—Jack was born in Regina in 1915. He came to Cal¬ gary in 1917. The boys at Western like this quiet, good-natured fellow and wish him success in his career of Radio Engineer. Next year he will be hunt¬ ing a job to earn his daily bread. JOHN RONALD McMURCHY—McMurchy started sometime, somewhere, but we didn’t find out when or where. He is captain of the basketball team and has lent his strength to Western’s rugby team. He says he doesn’t know what he will be doing next year, but “Father will see that I do something.” JOHN A. M1NCHIN—Jack’s shy little smile peeks out now and then as if to say, “Here I am, what about it?” Jack excelled himself in hockey and rugby, and Class I can well be proud of him. His curly hair will some day cause him trouble, but let that pass. GARNET FREEMAN NELSON—Garnet has been coming to our school so long he is tired of it. He seems to say, “Work and worry have killed a lot of people, so why should I take a chance.” Garnet is going to Normal next year. CARL OLAF NICKLE—Carl is the gentleman of Class I who condescends to pay us a weekly visit if nothing interferes. He came here from Winnipeg and plans to stay. His ambition is to become an accountancy expert, and he is taking a course to secure his aim.
