Page thirty-six YEAH CLASS 4 - (Continued) MARIAN ALBERTA SALMON—First startled the town of Langdon in 1915. She came to Calgary to show her prowess in swimming, basketball and eating lemon-pies. Next year she intends to go to Varsity to study Pharmacy. MARGARET JEAN SANDERCOCK—Like a flower she sprang up from the fertile soil of our foothills city in 1915. She received part of her education in the East, but was glad to come west again to finish her High School education. “Quiet and calm, of gentle mien, with unassuming grace.” JACK LAURENCE SAYERS—He is one of the intelligent members of Class 4. His greatest ambition is to be an announcer on the NBC, but this would never do, for who of our present day youth, would understand a chap who was once known to ask if he might “consult the dictionary?” MARSTON GRAHAM SEXSMITH—Graham is one of those unique lads who has ability both to work well and to play well. He is valuable to Western in near¬ ly every form of sport, including rugby and track; but this does not seem to affect his class work. “And certainly he is a good fellow.” WILLIAN ATCHISON SHELDON—Bill was born in Calgary in 1914, attending Cliff Bungalow and Earl Grey on his way to Western. Bill is possibly one of the most deadly shot with chalk in Class 6. He is an ardent supporter of rugby and indulges in all sports, especially swimming. DOUGLAS CALVERT SHIPLEY—Another of these Calgarians, Doug, was born in 1916. He amuses himself by riding and shooting. His main ambition is to become a surgeon, for he says he just loves “cutting ’em up.” BETTY NEWMAN SMITH—Betty deserted her native town of Melville, Sas¬ katchewan, camped a while at Edson, and then came to make a permanent home in Calgary. She is rather quiet, at times, spending most of her leisure in sweet dreams, but when awake is a source of interest to many. BONN CORY SMITH—Bonn came to us from Medicine Hat in 1924. Here he attended Mount Royal School before coming to Western. Finding us just a little too intelligent, he deserted us for two years, during which time he studied in University School, Vancouver. He has come back to us and we’re glad of it. Varsity is before him. HELEN WALLS SNADDON—Helen was born in Winnipeg in 1914. Calgary claimed her some six years later, and she has been adding to its beauty and culture ever since. She states emphatically that she has no dislike, except rice-pudding. Next year she will attend Mount Royal Junior College. HERBERT HENRY SNOWDON—What is that wild rushing sound coming down the hall? That! That is just Herb coming. He just escaped being on time that time. But not even his disarming smile can disarm the long-suffering teacher. “I love work, it fascinates me, I can sit and look at it for hours.” EDGAR STEWART—’Tis rumored abroad that Ed has left his little playground at Western and is now learning to become a man. If there is truth in this, we are glad and wish him well, although it does seem a little like sending “Inno¬ cents Abroad.” ALBERT RAYMOND SWANN—Bert says history will give Winnipeg as his birthplace. He excels in his ability to borrow homework. He aspires to achieve fame as the next Baron Munchausen. “Who first invented work and bound the free And holiday rejoicing spirit down?” :f GEORGE RALPH WILLOUGHBY—George, another Valentine youth, was born in Winnipeg in 1915. He attended Kelvin High school in that city until Septem¬ ber, 1932, when he came to Calgary and Western. We don’t know George yet, and cannot say just where his thoughts are wandering’, perhaps not very far. Those marked with are of Class 6.
