She intends to go to Toronto next year to train in the Hospital for Sick Children. She doesn’t say very much. How could she in that corner of the room? But we all like her. JOAN HARRISON MAYHOOD— Harry uttered hen first sound September 1, 1918, and she’s been talking ever since. Here she is Western ' s youngest grad. Her virtue is that she always has lots to say, but her vice is that she says it. She’s interested in everything, but her ambition is to sing The Song Without Words” to a deaf-mute—so we hear. SOPHIE ELIZABETH MIDDLETON—A smiling dark-haired newcomer in Class 2. She started life on the prairies somewhere near Macleod, but managed to touch Europe in 1926. Crescent Heights and St. Hilda ' s have been graced by her presence, and now it’s Western. Tennis, riding and amateur dramatics claim her out of school. Next year she intends to go to Mount Royal on the way to being a teacher. EMMA MAY MOORE—Squealed first eighteen years ago in South Calgary. Before landing in Western she tried King Edward, C.C.I., and Tech. May’s present am¬ bition is to take a Commercial Course. Maybe she would like to become private secretary to R. B. Bennett. DORIS RUTH NEWMAN—Born in our home town on March 13, 1916. Has a hard time getting composition assignments in on time, and getting history notes done. But Euclid and Aristotle have nothing on Doris. Varsity is her destination next fall. B.Sc. is her goal. Then she’ll teach the coming generation. BARBARA ALICE PHALEN—Was born in England, but thinking better of it sought the wide open spaces of Western Canada. Wandered from school to school until she found Western.

THOMAS HOLTBY PINDER—Gazed peacefully on a cold winter’s scene back in 1917; the city, of course was Edmonton. After going to Vancouver to thaw out, he came back to Calgary and Western, the home of higher education. Tom hopes to graduate with 95 per cent, and then east his mind for the next few years. MARGARET MOIRA ROBERTSON—Was born in Calgary on Nov. 28, 1916. She is a wonder, being both red-haired and good-natured. Favorite expression—“My gosh! (mostly during history periods). Weaknesses—acting and algebra. Am¬ bition—to get through without working. ELIZABETH RASKIN—Bessie was born in Rumsey, seventeen years ago. She attended the little school on the hill” until this year, when she came to Western. She is going in training for a nurse when she reaches the required age. Pet saying: I know I’ll get a question in Chemistry today.’ WILLIAM ATCHISON SHELDON—Bill first saw light in Calgary in 1914. While at a tender age he migrated to Saskatchewan, but his lust for travel wouldn ' t let him stay and for the last five years he ' s been seen frequenting Western ' s Halls. The future is a bity hazy, so why worry? JOE GILILAND SIMONTON—September 12th. 1916, marks the date when this fair Apollo came to earth. Red Deer was the chosen place. Renowned in rugby; famous for his hilarious laughter—the sheik of Class 2. Being brainy, Joe is letting the future care for itself. Mount Royal next, probably. CAMERON ALLISON SMITH—Cameron first dreamed of Model T” Fords away back in 1914; since then his dream has matured, and now he not only drives them but wrecks them. His excuses for playing hookey have become exhausted, so this is his last year. Future, indefinite: but why worry 1
