Page thirty-two YEAR CLASS 3 - (Continued) BARBARA ISOBEL McLENNAN—Barb, is back at Western this year to clear up a few remaining- subjects. However she devotes a minimum of time to her school work as she finds it necessary to attend (imaginary) funerals several times a week. MILDRED MALLINGER—History records that in the thriving metropolis of Blackie was born an infant of this name. She came to Calgary at an early age to attend Mount Royal College. Now we find her at Western, where it would not do her justice to measure her worth mathematically. GERALDINE MAVOR—No homework—Year Book representative for three years —famous actress in Dramatic Club!—popular member of Zeta Rho sorority; swimming, riding, badminton, skiing. Behold a future journalist of great note —hence, Varsity next year. ISABELLE McROBERTS—Isabelle’s name as well as her locks of Titian hue betray her descent from the land of heather and oatmeal. She’s canny too, and wants the best for her money. Therefore she is at Western. Good idea. Isabelle! EDVTHE BEATRICE PARK—If Beatrice cannot be cow-girling in Arizona, she I will, no doubt, content herself by reading Zane Grey’s novels. At present her main ambition is to become a shining light in Class 3. ELIZABETH CATHERINE PEARCE—We strongly suspect that when Betty made her first appearance in the Pearce nursery, she was jibbering blithely. Although her cradle-days are now but a faint memory, she is still congenial and indulges in many a stage-whisper. HOWARD REEVE—Howard was chief villain of the Dramatic Club, but don’t hold that against him. He is Class 3’s Boy Scout, and would also like to join the “Guides.” KENNETH AULD ROBERTSON—Kenneth is a brilliant student of the type that thinks Lars Porsena was the Swedish Match King. Next year he intends to enter a bank,—if they still have ’em. Favorite saying: “The man’s daft with¬ out a doubt.” MARGUERITE RUSSELL—Margie, a little blue-eyed blond, has two steady habits-—attending Western Canada and “Al.” She is a member of the Alpha Sigma Tau. She tap-dances, and of late ’tis said that she can be heard warb¬ ling up, and down the scale. GERTRUDE SCOTT-—“Scotty” is on her way to Varsity where she will make a big hit, for she is full of pep, is good-natured, and a conscientious student— she is a member of the Zeta Rho sorority and Secretary of the Western Can¬ ada Girls’ Association. Bon voyage, “Scotty!” HARCOURT DUDLEY SMITH—This is Mount Royal’s contribution of a fine stu¬ dent to Room 6. He hid himself in a back seat so the girls wouldn’t bother him. He is seen at his best playing a ’cello in the Calgary Symphony Orches¬ tra. He’s going to study Electrical Engineering next year. LAURENCE WILLIAM SI RICK—Decided four years ago that homework was “taboo.” Ambition: To escape detentions. Hobby: Collecting late-slips. Al¬ though it is still a secret, Laurence has a potent brain, and we expect great things from him. ROBERT McGARVEY TAYLOR—When not arguing with Fisher, he is contemp¬ lating what Algebra III is besides tiring. Ambition: None, so far as we can find out, but we think it’s cultivating the prairies. Apparently a confirmed woman-hater at Western, but at C.C.I.!! Bob is Secretary of the Hi-Y, and his favorite pastime is swimming.

Page thirty-four YEAR CLASS 4 - (Continued) HERBERT CHARLES FLETCHER—First howled with the pain of an attack of acute Mathematics in Calgary in 1915. He is still suffering, and intends to I alleviate the pain by becoming a Math, teacher. “We grant, although he had much wit, He was very shy of using it.” DORA ELIZABETH FOLLETT—Another of our native daughters, who first I chuckled in 1915 and has been chuckling ever since. Her favorite sport is I Algebra( ?) but it is said that her talents run along musical lines. “A little time for laughter, A little time to sing.” JOYCE MARGARET FRYLING—Joyce is an English product and shows her 1 superiority by coming to school only when there is nothing more interesting j to do. She is the charming and interesting mystery-girl of Class 4. THORNTON HUBARD GREGG—If Empress, Alberta, raises many lively ones ] like “Funny,” the teachers there must all be grey-headed. But you should I see him play rugby! We hear he plays a fine game of badminton, too. “A merrier man, within the limits of becoming mirth I never spent an hour’s talk withal.” EDITH EILEEN HAHN—Seventeen years ago Edith first donned her mittens in 1 defiance of Regina’s cold weather and built her first snowman. She intends to 1 become a nurse. She’s a hard worker and deserves success. “Everything succeeds with people of sweet and cheerful disposition.” ELAINE HARDING—This little girl, who occupies a front seat in Class 4, first brightened Dauphin, Manitoba, some eighteen years ago. Hoping to match her sunny disposition with a similar climate, she came to Calgary. She re¬ fuses to tell us her ambition, but it is rumored that she will take a commercial tourse. DONALD RODERICK HOAR—Don is like his brother in that he, too, likes a good time. His occupations in school are teasing the girls and thinking up excuses for not having his work done, but once in a while he really works. You should see him in Composition periods! “It’s a great plague to be too handsome a man.” CHARLES RALPH HOAR—It has been reported on excellent authority that he is tall and good-looking, but very few realize the difficulty he has experienced in overcoming this handicap. He is a rugby player and a star basketball player. Being a modest boy he did not tell us his greatest desire, but it is really to be the most popular woman-hater in Western. MARY PHOEBE HOARE—This dark-haired maiden was born in Calgary in 1915. Mary is the phenomenon of Room 16—she does her own homework, and al¬ though seen, is seldom heard! We understand she intends to become a nurse some day. Perhaps she is practising that quiet, bedside manner. ALBERT VICTOR LAVEN—Al. began his career in Calgary. He is an outstand¬ ing Western Canada half-back, first starring with its Provincial High School Rugby Championship team of 1930.
