She has hopes ofB being a lady of leisure—Here’s hoping! However, the immediate future is not yeti planned. It’s in the lap of the gods. SIDNEY LATHAM DYKE—By strokes he will become famous—no, not golf. He is! an artist. Perhaps, from his text books, cartoonist-Sid is the artistic member of I the “Year Book.’’ He played for the senior rugby team, and also takes a hand I at basketball. His hopes are for graduation; what next, we don t know. WALTER STANLEY HARTROFT—Stan, is a first class Calgarian, born, educated and started life in a big way here.

Her sunny disposition makes friends for her wherever she goes. She plans to attend university in British Columbia. Good luck, Marg.! DOROTHY EILEEN HUTTON—Dot was born on the Experimental Farm at La- combe, sixteen years, ago, and perhaps that accounts for some things about her.

BETTY BAPTISTE JOHNSTON—This is the little girl with the twinkling, brown eyes, who sits at the back of Class 2. She is chiefly noted for her care-free happy- go-lucky nature.

FRANCEES WILLIAMINA LEGG—Frankie is the tall, brown-eyed young lady who graces our halls for a short time each day.

GILBERT ROY MACKENZIE—Nero has nothing on this boy. Born in 1914, Chelsea, Mass., while Salem burned.
