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.

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.

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.

Page thirty-five CLASS 4 - (Continued) ALICE ELSIE MACCRACKEN—This charming young lady was born in Calgary in 1915.

Very temperamental, yet noted for her bright and sunny disposition. “Fond of beauty, sports and laughter. Pleasure first, and business after.” HILDA MARGARET PASSEY—This quiet little miss never has much to say. Probably her thoughts are so lofty and her bright ideas come so thick and fast that she finds it difficult to express them in words; or maybe it’s because she comes from Edmonton and so feels superior.

He is on the Year Book committee, and he shows the rest of us how to debate.
