BOOK Page 9 SANDY MACKENZIE For the thirteenth consecutive year the Year Book of Western Canada High School is presented to the student body and the public for their approval. The Year Book represents an honest effort on the part of the Committee to delineate faithfully the many and varied activities of our School life. We hope we have succeeded. Financially the Year Book is not self-supporting. In former years it has been the custom of Grade Twelve students to buy two or three copies each. This year, however, the senior students, for the most part, felt they could afford only one copy each — thus the Year Book was deprived of an important source of revenue. The solution of this problem lies with future Year Book Committees. We wish to thank the members of the staff who gave of their time and advice so generously, especially Mrs. Robertson, Mrs. Bagnall, Mr. Stewart and Mr. Stevenson. We also wish to thank the members of the student body for their loyal sup¬ port, and particularly the executive of the Girls’ Association whose financial assistance was so valuable. We feel that, if we have been able to make the students proud of their Year Book, we are amply repaid for the time and energy expended in its compilation.

BOOK Page 11 PAUL ZABOK—won gold medal, 1st in mile race open, and silver medal, 2nd in 3 mile open, at Drumheller. CONNIE HICKSON—won Junior City Ten- nis Singles and Junior Provincial Tennis Singles. ALICE AINSLIE, THELMA NORRIS and MARGARET OGILVIE—broke records in the girls ' sports for 1933. Western Canada High School students won 58 Honour Diplomas at the 1933 De¬ partmental Examinations, 29 Grade XII and 29 Grade XI. The reports published in the press show that this is the greatest number of honour diplomas won by any High School in Alberta in 1933. PAUL ZABOK The following clipping from an eastern paper will be of interest to Western Canada students: Miss Lucy Vanderhoorn, 18 year old student of Barrie Collegiate Institute, has broken the Upper School record for that school for a student with only four years of high school training, though her standing was equalled some years ago by a girl student who had six years at the collegiate. Miss Vanderhoorn, writing 14 subjects, took honours in all, twelve firsts, a second and a third. This brilliant young student is of Dutch parentage and was born in Salatrga, Java. From there she went to Holland and came to Canada a few years ago. Her high school course was started in Calgary. She attended high school at Burlington, Ont., for a time and a year ago she and her mother came to Barrie. She will undoubtedly win the first Carter Scholarship and probably several University Scholarships. Miss Vanderhoorn left the Western Canada High School in March. 1932, when she moved to Ontario. NORMAN ALSTON COLLEY, a graduate of Western Canada of 1930, is the author of a play that was presented at St. Stephen ' s Hall recently and received very favor¬ able comment from the press. Congratulations Norman. MARION LOUISE KIDNEY, who attended the South Calgary High School, 1925-28 and left with Junior Matriculation standing to train as a nurse, was presented with a $200 Scholarship at the Graduation Exercises at the Calgary General Hospital this spring. We understand Miss Kidney will pursue post graduate work in nursing. Numerous Western Canada Graduates have received degrees this Spring from Universities in Canada and U.S.A. Unfortunat ely we have been unable to obtain a complete list. Others have won honors at the Musical Festival. Congratulations to the winners. ELNORA BAILEY (Western Canada 1931)—rescued two young men from drowning at Bowness Park on May 24th, following the upsetting of a canoe.
