Page twenty-eight YEAR CLASS 2 - (Continued) WILLIAM RALPH BOYD STUART—This brown-eyed lad came to the fore in Calgary in 1915. His devouring curiosity led him to school to see what teach¬ ers looked like. He is still unsatisfied and may go on to Varsity next year on the same quest. “Oh, he’s a jolly good fellow.” BLANCHE OPEAL TOEWS—This lassie of the dreamy dark eyes comes from Bircham. She obtained three years of High school at Acme, but now is at Western to get her Normal entrance. Blanche aims to be a great teacher. BRUCE WALLACE—This quiet chap comes to us for a short time each day. We understand that he is working towards becoming a radio engineer. Hail anil farewell! CLASS 3 VINCENT VICTOR ALLAN—From Castor he turned to the “big city” and spent two years at C.C.I. He longed for something better and came to Western. Pastime—Learning Latin mythology from Mr. Collier. His ambition is indeed lofty. He hopes to become an aviator. CLIVE MURRAY ARTHUR—Clive came to us from Pincher Creek three years ago. He is the fellow in Class 3 who knows all the girls. “Huh,” you say, “he must be a woman hater.” Wrong again. He likes tennis, badminton and girls. MARJORIE LOWE BAGNALL—Marjorie has a quiet pleasing manner (despite a determined chin), and a studious nature. She is a member of the senior basketball team and of the Zeta Rho Sorority. She intends to follow the ancient and honorable profession of school teaching, in her mother’s footsteps. HELEN ROTHNIE MONTGOMERIE-BELL—The Fates ordained that Rothiie should be born to carry off Calgary’s surplus scholarships. They decreed that her chief faults would be—obtaining averages of 95% or thereabouts, and lendiiig her work to her lazier classmates. She is a real girl and we wish her continued success. KATHLEEN BIJLMER—Kay’s fame lies chiefly in her ability to lose her blotter and bedaub herself with ink. She is a quiet, conscientious student, who is always willing to lend her homework, even her Latin. Next year she intends to learn how to wield the hickory. VIVIAN CLARKE—One unusually bright morning an unusually big stork de¬ posited an unusually small baby on the Clarke doorstep. This child (common¬ ly called “V”) has developed an unusually great number of “little grey cells” particularly adapted to solving unusually difficult economic problems. DAVID BARR COLLIER—“A chip off the old block,” he is a great student of Latin and has mastered German, French and the language of a golfer in dis¬ tress. Ambition: To join a Hole-in-One Club. Dave was one of the stal¬ warts of this year’s Junior Rugby team. JAMES BLAKELY CORBET—James is a new arrival from Oakville, Ontario. He has come to the conclusion that if work he must, Law is his realm. Hobby: Playing a man-sized organ (not of the mouth variety). Favorite expression: (censored). MAR SUSAN DAVIDSON—As a figure-skater, Mary’s prowess is well known; as a student, she has shown her capability by matriculating with honors. Mary’s destination, next year will be Alberta University, when the cold north¬ ern blasts will be conducive to the practice of skating. GILDA VERA DICK—Mr. Collier complains that only an adding machine can total Gilda’s absences. No such complaint is made of her attendance at the Zeta Rho and Iota Tau sororities, or the local theatres. Why take school seriously when there are horses to ride and pools in which to swim ?

He refuses to disclose his future plans. V1ARGARET FLORENCE MOFFAT—This dark-eyed lady of some nineteen sum¬ mers deserted us last year for Commercial. However, the call of Western was too strong—she’s back, dancing through our halls. Marg. wants to g - et a job in Edmonton—We wonder, why Edmonton? ALEXANDER HAMILTON NICOLSON—Born in Edmonton seventeen years ago, he migrated to Calgary at a tender age and has been doing his best to make up for the bad start. He dozed his way through Mount Royal, then came to Western for a good long siesta. Among other weaknesses he has a failing for golf. ELLA NANCY NOBLE—This modest young maid was born in Calgary seventeen years ago. If Ella were not in Latin 3, the teacher would find it quite useless to come in—she knows her Latin! “Still we gazed, and still the wonder grow.

Her ambition is to be a druggist, but first she’s resolved to pass Latin ' 3. MARY AGNES PICKEN—This quiet but clever member of our class is a native of Calgary. Mary says she has no pet subject, but we suspect History takes a good deal of her time. Next year she expects to go to Normal. THOMAS NEALE ROCHE—Many years ago, in 1927, to be exact, this lad was enrolled at South Calgary; then suddenly he decided he knew enough and tried teaching. He found out his mistake and is back again at Western working for his First Class. Neale is not sure of his next move—anyway we wish him luck. ALICE CAROLYN SPEER—Carrie as born in Calgary nineteen years ago. Since then she has taken an active part in most spheres of school life.

DOROTHY MARION SPLANE—“Dodo” was bom in this fair city in 1912. After passing through a variety of schools she finally came to brighten the stately halls of Western Canada.

A devout golfer, a member of the Hi-Y and a musician of sorts. Ambition: To extract a tune from a cigar box and a broom handle. Whatta man!

Age—three stout bristles and a prominent chin. MARGARET M. IRVING-—This popular young student is a member of the Alpha Sigma Tau sorority, and of the Year Book committee.

ELEANOR RUTH KING—A young lady sits at the front of Class 3. She has blonde hair, blue eyes and a pleasing disposition. “Three guesses—you’re right—Eleanor King!” Varsity will probably claim Eleanor next year. IRIS KINGSTON—In her childhood Iris rolled snowballs in Ontario. When she reached the years of understanding, she came to Sunny Alberta.
