The Motto of the club expresses its purpose. To create, maintain and extend throughout the school and community, high standards of Christian Character.” THE KAPPA GAMMA CLUB This club is composed of approximately eighteen girls, representing the high schools of Calgary, who meet at the Y.W.C.A. club-rooms once a week for supper and discussions. This year, classes in life-saving were held under the leadership of Miss Claxton. The discussions were on such subjects as books, music and current events, while at other meetings a talk was given by some local speaker. Several meetings were also held with the Gamma Phi, the corresponding boys’ club. The club ideals are best expressed by the club purpose: We, the girls of the Calgary Kappa Gamma Club, in the presence of God and each other, do pledge ourselves to help one another in the keeping of this Covenant—• to create, maintain and extend, throughout the school and community, high standards of Christian Character, and to stand together on and for, the platform of clean speech, clean sports, clean scholarship and clean living.” For the five years of the Club ' s organization, the members from Western Canada have been: 1929- 1930—Helen Ford and Blanche McMurchy. 1930- 1931—Helen Bayne and Pat Gibson. 1931- 1932—Dorothy Peacock and Madeline Austin. 1932- 1933—Helen Webb and Betty Black. 1933- 1934—Marion Egleston and Madge Cardell.

Different phases of this problem were outlined by such outstanding speakers asj Dr. H. A. Gibson, Mrs. M. Potts, Mr. Manley Edwards, Dr. A. W. Baker, Rev. F. W. Pattison and Miss Maxwell, who have given us much food for thought and a better understanding of our children and their problems. A class pin, submitted by Mr. D. E. Black (Birks) was chosen as a traditional graduating pin for W.C.H.S. Any pupil taking fourth year work, and having 18 units to his credit previous to the current year is eligible for a pin at cost of $1.00 on presen¬ tation of a card signed by the principal.

BOOK Page 55 ATHLETICS 1933-34 SENIOR RUGBY By Wm. Sheldon Before the end of August, Western’s red and green pigskin chasers reported for duty. As Ken Roberts could not turn out for coach, Roy Graves took charge of the team. Although pads were not issued till late in the season, the grass soon disappeared and the new tackling dummy felt the charge of hefty shoulders. When pads were issued the team went at it in earnest and by the time of the first game, Roy had developed a fast, plucky, well-balanced team, even if it did lack in weight. Although they failed to bring the Senior Shield to Western s walls, they went down fighting. Here ' s to better luck next time and let us keep up Wesem ' s fighting spirit. Exerpts from the Press— Western 4, Crescents 8.— Western counted two rouges and a safety-touch to take a four point lead at half-time, but they weakened in final half. The game included everything, even a lot of whistle blowing.” Western 16, Tech. 4.— Western used forward passing to advantage in scoring first victory. Accounted for six points by passes. The line played an outstanding game. Western 3, St. Mary’s 2.— Western Canada takes verdict in closing minutes of wonderful Grid Game. Gibson kicked for winning point from St. Mary ' s 30 yard line. Simonton started Western on the road to victory by spectacular line playing. Gofskv outstanding in his tackles. Western 6, Central 19.—“Western went down to defeat before Archie McTeer ' s well-coached Central squad. Western’s touchdown was a beauty, McQueen passing a 20 yarder to Himmelman who made a spectacular run for a touchdown. Western 18, High River 13.— Score tied until last two minutes. Western superior in pushing power.” Western 6, Mount Royal 5.—“Exhibition game, coaches of both teams played. Gibson, McQueen, Wilson outstanding for Western.” The Team—Centre. Chamberlain, Pitman; Insides. Simonton, Mackey. Stott, McCracken; Middles. Irving, Carmichael, Dyke; Ends, Gofsky, Himmelman, Belkin. Barlow; Halves, McQueen, Stapells, J. Miller, Gibson, A. Miller; Quarter, Wilson; Subs., R. Mackay, Osborne, Ogilvie. INTERMEDIATE RUGBY By Bill Dingle, ]r. Western Canada fielded a strong, experienced Intermediate Team, containing many of the last year ' s Juniors and an abundance of new material. Ably coached by ' Bill” Dingle, the team started the year with high hopes of success. The first game was won from an inexperienced Technical team by a 25-0 score. The team displayed great ability, Bill Pentland and Les Anderson being outstanding. The next battle was a repetition of the first. Western winning easily from Cem- mercial by a score of 23-0. In their last game, the team, slow in starting was defeated by a steady East Cal¬ gary team, the score being 8-2. Unfortunately, the league was later than usual in starting and an early snow prevented the still hopeful team from completing the schedule. Line-up—Ends. Collier, D. Wilson. Fleming; Middles, MacKenzie, Moffat. R. Pent- land; Insides. Baker, Sherlock, McKinnon, Dvorkin; Centres, Bridgeland, Sales; Halves, W. Pentland. Anderson, Nott, Humphries, K.
