Snljtt tmttaon j. b. a On the memories of all who have been in any way connected with Western Canada High School during the past five years there is indelibly engraved the name of John Stevenson. As we go about our daily duties this year, teachers and students alike seem to experience an indefinable sense of loss, to feel that there is some influence missing, and to realize that a kindly presence has gone. Each of us has his own memories of Mr. Stevenson, at his desk, in the class-room, in debates, in the sports field, but the finest memory of all is that of his genial companionship. Words are inadequate to express the loss sustained by both school and scholar in the passing of this “very perfect gentleman.” A real shadow fell over Western Canada when news came that Mr. Stev¬ enson had passed away peacefully at his home on the morning of Sunday, Novem¬ ber 4th. He had been ill since before the summer vacation but had recovered sufficiently to return to school in Septem¬ ber. However, after a few days’ work he was compelled to relinquish his duties once again and return to bed. From then on, he became weaker and death crept upon him. The funeral took place at Hillhurst United Church and he was in¬ terred in the Burnsland Cemetery. Mr. Stevenson was bom at Newburgh, Ontario, and was 47 years of age. His public and high school education was taken in schools in Lennox County and later at Queen’s University, where he specialized in English. An early graduate of Calgary Normal School, he had taught in the West for twenty-two years. Most of his professional life in Alberta was spent as principal of the Pincher Creek Town School, where he served twelve years altogether. In 1928 he joined the Calgary High School staff, serving in South Calgary and Western Canada High Schools. He was an active church worker, being particularly interested in young people’s work; among other activities he was a member of the session of Hillhurst United Church and also assistant superintendent of the Sunday School of that church. A full life indeed, a life of service, a life of inspiration to those who follow after. He was most liked because of his quiet humor, and his kindly and unassum¬ ing disposition, and was highly esteemed because of the painstaking and efficient performance of his duties. Yet withal he was of strong personality, true to his principles and resolute and persistent in all his endeavors. There was, too, the human side strongly in evidence, a quality recognized and appreciated by all his students. In short, John Stevenson has left behind him that greatest and noblest memorial of the true teacher, an undying influence not only upon those associated with him but one that will extend in ever-widening circles as time goes on. BOOK Pa re seven Haledirtnrg By FRANCES CADZOW When a student leaves high school, he begins the much-anticipated venture of forming his own career. He may find it easy to make the decision about his life-work, but maybe he is uncertain of his own abilities. He perhaps looks at his future with bewildered eyes as he wonders just where the next step will lead. The years he has spent in high school are already fading into the past. The pres¬ ent will take care of itself, but what about the future? It is a usual thing for the graduate to look regretfully back on his student days, for they represent a safe, definitely planned existance, filled with the warmth of comradeship. But now he has finished playing the game of school life. It is time to turn to the greater game which will demand of him all the intelligence and character which he has been so care¬ fully building up in the past years. The ambitious student strives to be¬ come some day a leader of others. It requires determination and loyalty to his purpose in life to achieve this goal. But it is also a great thing to be a strong follower whose faithful allegiance is in¬ valuable to his chief. The most able and powerful leader is worthless without the unfailing support of staunch men and women. The pioneers, forcing their way through the wilderness of the West, faced the future with great courage and daring. Life in this country has been founded on the indomitable strength of brave hearts. It leaves us with the chal¬ lenge to go forward and build up a noble future worthy of our heritage. The student who makes the greatest success of his life will be the one who clings to the ideals and hopes of his youth. With strength to face hardship and misfortune, with a mind capable of forming unbiased judgments, with wisdom for enjoying the pleasures of life, and with truth and loyalty, all as his guiding stars, he will be able to FRANCES CADZOW “Go forth to meet the shadowy Future without fear, And with a manly heart.” Page eight YEAR W. G. E. PULLEYBLANK A generation ago the great majority of people were content with an Elemen¬ tary School education. A small percentage who were academically inclined or who were otherwise favorably situated, continued through High School and on to the University. The High Schools were developed in ways suited to the preparation of students for University Entrance. This work they did and continue to do with considerable success. Later there developed a fairly definite campaign to sell people the idea of a High School education for everybody. Many speakers and writers took up the theme. Statistics were presented to show the value of each additional year in school by the average increase in future earning power. That this propaganda has been remarkably successful is shown by the fact that the High School popula¬ tion has increased by leaps and bounds. Despite this great increase in High School enrolment, the aim has remained as before, the preparation of students for the University. The matriculation certificate, too, has obtained recognition as having an intrinsic value. It is re¬ garded as necessary or desirable for entrance into business, industry and social service. Whether the training received bears any relationship to the requirements of those lines of endeavor apparently has been given very little thought. For too many students the certificate has become the all-important thing. We see this in the scramble for units; many students are delighted if they 1 can obtain a fifty percent standing in a subject without having attended classes or having done the term work. They care nothing for the subject itself, and are not at all concerned about the loss of the educational development which they might have experienced. This attitude of the students in valuing the certificate rather than the education which it represents is shared by the general public and is fostered by the school system itself. In recent years, however, there has been much questioning in regard to the High Schools. For the great majority, who will never go to University, does the curriculum as offered give the best type of education? The Commercial and Technical High Schools were introduced as a partial answer to this question. But there still remain many stu dents who are not attracted by those schools and who do not want University Matriculation. The General Course in the Academic High Schools is intended to supply their needs. Unfortunately very few students have taken advantage of the wider range of options offered by this Course and those who do choose the General Course are taught in the same classes and in the same way as the Matriculation students. Should we not have another type of High School, cultural in its aim, which will emphasize education for its own sake ? In such a school art, music, drama¬ tics, health and physical training could have a much larger place. Many of the present academic courses could be retained and altered in content and method of presentation to serve a new purpose. A school of this kind would be unham¬ pered by University requirements. A subject would be chosen for its own sake with the result that better work would be done and for many there would be more real education. Would not the graduates of such a school soon be recog¬ nized as better fitted for much of the world’s work? BOOK Page nine An Acknowledgment T O all who have so willingly given their co-operation in the production of this book, the staff of the 1935 Year Book wishes to make this acknowledgment. Above all, we wish to thank the members of the faculty who gave their time and assistance to make this publica¬ tion possible, especially Miss James, Mrs. Robertson, Mr. Johnson, Mr. Dobson, Mr. Pulleyblank, Mr. Copeland and Mr. Stanley. Also we wish to thank Mr. G. B. Paynter, of the Bar- cliff e Studio; Mr. Sidney Dyke, and the West Printing Company. We hope that this issue of the Year Book will merit the increase in price. This increase was necessary be¬ cause we received no financial assistance from the teams. If we have organized and developed this book in such a manner that you are proud to have it represent your school, we have achieved our objective. —THE EDITORS. - .

Others passed on both second-year and third-year subjects. Students are placed in whatever year the greater number of subjects were passed, but are given credit for the total number of subjects passed in any or all grades in 1934. A student is not con¬ sidered a fourth-year student unless he has passed at least eighteen units. As the Department of Education does not furnish us with the results of the appeals and supplemental examinations, students who passed any subjects in this way are not given credit for them in these lists unless the certificates from the Department of Education regarding these subjects have been handed in to the office to be copied in our records.

BOOK Page seventeent J Stead tt in tljr lars It was in the late summer of 1965 that I again heard the mellow notes from the flute of the Genius. He appeared before me, seated on a rock, and immedi¬ ately my flock faded from my sight. The well-known surroundings had changed. I now stood on a vast, rocky island, on which thousands of people seemed to be engaged in various ridiculous occupations, with serious countenances, apparently intent upon their work. “This,” said the Genius, “is the Canadian Lipari, Candevi, the Canadian Devil’s Island, where dwell those exiled from society as general menaces.” Then I began to be aware of familiar faces about me. Why there, to be sure, in the shallow water of the stony beach paddled Ruth Clendenan and Myrtle Hagen, occupied in finding suitable sea-shells to add to their Hope-Chests. Mal¬ colm Clark followed close upon their heels bearing a small pail which contained the spoils. “Miss Clendenan,” the Genius informed me, “was sent into exile for the repeated use of ‘C’mup an’ see muh sometime’ and Miss Hagen for ‘Listen! He- he! Lookut!’” Disgusted, I turned away, and he took my arm and guided me to the place where Bill Ireland and Sandy Patterson were engaged in making posters and circulars to persuade the other inhabitants to vote for Toonie Nott as Head-Con¬ vict. Mr. Nott sat by unconcernedly, adding oyster-shell and sand to the paint to make a porridge, much to the annoyance of his supporters. Kay Tait was studying diligently with Reg Smith, Em Irving and Don Wilson to perfect the Candevi Vocal Quartet. Aside from the fact that Miss Tait was not doing well as a soprano, the quartet seemed to be progressing favorably in the matter of volume. George Garbutt, with an excess of enthusiasm, was engaged in selling Old Mold Cigarettes to his fellow convicts. He sold me six packages on the guaran¬ tee: “They’ll make an athlete of you. You’ll run a mile from one.” Lois Ireland I saw carving in large old-English characters on a vast black rock: “As x — o, y—1,987,642.” She seemed to be wearing a somewhat bored expression as though her work had continued through many years. I was then led to the cells where the worst offenders were kept in solitary confinement. At the substantial door stood Doug Morris, scarcely recognizable in his guard’s uniform of huge, unexplainable, horizontal stripes of yellow, red and blue. He wore a beautifully waxed and curled moustache and was dapper in every way except that his feet were somewhat enlarged—from pacing the night watch, so the Genius informed me. In the first cell I recognized Les Matheson who whiled away the weary hours propounding complicated theories in physics. Harlow Sutherland was feed¬ ing him peanuts, his favorite food, through the cold and cruel bars. In the next padded cell was Margaret Humphries, engaged in lining the walls with three-cent postage stamps. I asked her if she was an ardent philatelist. But she replied that she followed in the footsteps of her mother and father and was a Presbyterian. Apparently the only hall of entertainment in the place, the Candevi Ritzi Nite Klub boasted as hostess the glamorous Mary Sullivan and Madge Cardell as head fan dancer. Dot Hutton stood outside delivering the talk of the town and proclaiming in an ear-splitting bellow, punctuated by frequent locomotives: “W - E- S- T.” that everyone was welcome, but that the place was re¬ spectable and forbade the presence of Marg Hayden, Ella Mae Becker, Jack West, Marg Darroch, Betty Crooks, Eric Richards, or Jack Cheal for state reasons. “Now I take you,” said the Genius with enthusiasm, “to the pride of the island.” And on the left was a cavei with “Labertery” hewn from the rock in Kenny Wilson’s well-known script, and, entering, I saw first approximately ten thousand chocolate cakes. At length, however, I discerned Mr. Wilson, Ernie Sales, and Don McKenzie in their midst. Page eighteen YEAR 3 Ucait It itt tlje S tara—(Cont’d) “These,” explained the Genius, “have slaved for thirty years endeavoring to remove the ache from too much cake.” It was then that I noticed that their eyes were upon something other than their work. Sure enough, there beneath the chandelier paced Eelen Templeton Hugill with measuredly dignified tread, clothed in satin gown and carrying an ostrich-feather fan. I was told that she was firm in the belief that at last she was being presented at court. This state of mind had existed for twenty years. At the back I saw a golden throne studded with sapphires and above the throne I read “Milton Hyndman, Critic.” Upon looking more carefully, I managed to discover a tiny, shrunken figure, Milton certainly, but so small that he could scarcely be recognized. And some friend of society had gagged him. Then it all changed, yet not visibly. The faces of my acquaintances became the stupid countenances of my sheep, but without noticeable alteration. And the Genius faded from my vision. “Such futility!” thought I in disgust, and returned to my whittling.

Despite the boredom of it all, And spending Latin in the hall. Despite that Trig begins to pall, Here’s to Western! Despite the odor of Bromine And futile uses of Quinine And properties of Iodine, Here’s to Western! Despite the odd half-dozen hours And Charles V’s extensive powers, Despite the complex Solvay towers, Here’s to Western! Despite that one must not chew gum, And all the brain doth seem so numb, And teacher censures one so dumb, Here’s to Western! For here one meeteth all one’s friends— And teacher one to office sends— But books and ink one’s neighbor lends, So here’s to Western! And there one finds that rare school spirit— Les Matheson you need not fear it— For in our marble halls you hear it: “Here’s to Western!” BOOK Page nineteen IrighltQlttH nf ©lip iFiutrth f par (Ulasa To be considered a member of the Fourth Year, a student must have to his credit at least eighteen units. Room 8 CLASS 1 Mr. Harding WILLIAM CAYLEY—Basketball 1. Bill is one of the many Fourth Year students who find Algebra 3 a very trying subject, try to solve it, try to pass it. As yet Bill is very undecided as to what he will do, but hei may return to Western. I MARGARET DUNHAM—Marg put in another year at Western by taking up such interesting subjects as Physics 2 and Algebra 3. Her hobby is swim¬ ming, and her ambition is to become a dietitian. PHYLLIS DWELLEY—She sings, she hums, she laughs, she talks, and still gets all her homework done. Her pet aversion—untidy people; her pet pastimes are reading and dancing. Although she is the smallest of us all. We’d miss her if she wasn’t here at all. ROLAND DYKE—Rugby 4, Track 1. Roily has great ability in Algebra and Rugby. He is interested in radio and hopes to receive a training in that line. We are confident that Roily will some day become a second Marconi. CONSTANCE PATRICIA HAFFERN “Pat”—Room Rep. (4). “All good things come in small parcels.” Her one great worry is that she was christened “Constance.” She much prefers “Pat.” Pat is very fond of public speaking, but hopes to complete a course in medicine. MYRTLE ELIZABETH HAGEN—(Priscella Susa to her friends). Sounds old- fashioned, but actually is very misleading. She surely can “string les garcons along.” Just ask them! Has no definite ideas about the future, but she’ll get by—“there’s a twinkle in her eye.” SELINA HAMBLING—An accomplished “high-jumper” in basketball and no wonder—for her ambition soars skyward. She is going to be an aviatrix and show Amelia just how it’s done. Good take-off, Lena, and a happy landing. LESLIE HARRISON—This is Leslie’s first year at Western. He attended Tech, before this time. He would like to study something in the electrical line, but can’t make up his mind to any one definite branch of study. FRANCES AMELIA HOOD (Fran.)—Always seen but seldom heard-—except at attendance markings. Can’t quite see the necessity of school, and would rather sleep in the mom. Don’t resort to the latter, Fran.—Who would take your place on the Honor Roll ? IRENE MARGARET KING—Some one was heard to say: “She is quiet and calm, of ' gentle mien. Seldom heard and seldom seen.” They don’t know Irene. She hopes to teach “les enfants” 1 + 1 = 2. JESSIE EILEEN LANCASTER—Known as “Lanky.” Quiet and studious, but lots of fun. She excels in winter sports, especially skiing and snowshoeing. She is one of Class l’s youngest members. Normal comes next, then she really is going to teach. CLARA LAVEN—Always seen with a cheery smile which aptly displays her dimples. She doesn’t talk much, but when necessary can make herself heard. After Western she is going to train for a nursing career in Los Angeles. Why Los Angeles, Clara? Page twenty YEAR CLASS 1—(Continued) CONRAD MACKEY—Rugby 1, 2, 3—Hockey 1, 2—Track 1.

ROSS MAGUIRE—Came to Western from Rideau High. He hopes to attend U. of A. on completion of his high school course. We all envy Ross when he drives down the street in that big blue car of his. Ross is one of the most dependable persons in our school. ROBERT MacKINNON—Bob has been a very valuable asset to our rugby team for two years. If Bob was able to block out exams like he can opposing lines¬ men, we are sure his great worry would vanish. Bob has no definite plans for the future. JAMES ROBERT MACQUEEN—Rugby 1, 2, 3, 4—Hockey 1, 2—Basketball 1. A member of Hi-Y and Gamma Phi. Unless we miss our guess this stal¬ wart guardian of the nets nurses a dream of some day becoming a pro¬ hockey player. Jim is the object of Mr. Harding’s jokes in Chemistry class. DONALD JAMES McKENZIE—Rugby 1—Basketball 1—Track 1. Member of Hi-Y in Western, formerly member in Magee. Don came to Western from Magee High in Vancouver bringing with him three B.C. Track Records and a knowledge of basketball which has surely elevated the Western name. MARKARET ISABELLE McKENZIE (Chubby)—Chubby says she likes us but we have our doubts. She doesn’t like mechanics or people who giggle, but adores Trig., dancing and playing the mouth organ. Her ambition is to soar high in the clouds. Maybe she’ll drop down and see us sometime. CHARLES McKILL—This lad is another of our half-day students, who claims he has little time for the girls. He is an army man, with a wide knowledge of horse and golf ( ?). HAROLD MEADOWS-—Rugby 1. Harold played end and also did the kicking ( ?) for the senior team. He is noted for his ability to catch forwards and solve Algebra 3 problems. Harold has no future plans, but we have an idea that hockey may present a future for him. CONSTANCE MILLER (Connie)—She is a half-day student who only endows us with her presence every once in awhile. A Westernite who has won much admiration through her ability in figure skating. RUTH FRANCES MURRAY—Manages to slip in just before second bell. She is capable of creating quite a turmoil as “Cheerleader” at rugby games. “Full of a nature, nothing can tame. Changed every minute, ever the same.” STUART NOTT (Toonie)—Rugby 1, 2, 3, 4—Track 1, 2. Coach of the Junior rugby team, Treasurer and first Vice-President of the Year Book committee, President of the Wescani Club and an outstanding track star—two records. “Toonie” has done excellent work for the Year Book, and next he intends to go to U. of A. HOWARD PICKUP—Howard is one of the Mathematical genii of the school. Physics 2 and Geometry 3 seem to be his pet subjects because he certainly excels in them. He intends to study Civil Engineering. JOHN PITMAN—“Johnny” has been centre on the senior team for the past two years. Member of the basketball and hockey teams. Member of the Western Hi-Y. He has not decided on a future, but we have an idea the Navy would find him a good sailor. MARY HOWARD PORRITT—Famed for her recitals on how to start a car, frozen for just two weeks. She is a speed-skater of note. Ambition is to win the Wrigley Swim at Sylvan. Likes us so much that we’ll see her next year. “Happy is Mary, from care she is free. Why aren’t they all as contented as she.” BOOK Page twenty-one CLASS 1—(Continued) PETER RICHARDSON—Hockey 1. Pete is one of the less noisy members of our class. He excels in Algebra which he does with no apparent effort. He has set his mind on going to Mount Royal next year and we wish him luck. ROLAND RICHARDSON—Rugby 1, 2, 3—Track 1, 2. Former member of Hi-Y, Gamma Phi clubs. “Roily” hopes to attend the University of Edinburgh to take Mining Engineering. Woe to the student whom “Roily” picks up in his Ford, as he very seldom arrives at school. ERNEST SALES—Rugby 1, 2. Ernie’s future is rather vagu°. He has yet to decide between joining the Air Force or going to Business College. It seems that there is a great deal of attraction in Elbow Park as Ernie is frequently seen hurrying along Elbow Drive. Editor’s Note: Does he live in that dis¬ trict ? DOUGLAS DAVID SMITH—Rugby 1. 2, 3—Basketball 1—Hockev 1. 2. Doug, and his companion at crime, Dyke, have performed many of the pranks around this school. The flaxen-haired giant is seen quite frequently with a petite blonde who gazes with awe at her handsome Doug. GEORGE VINCENT STOTT—Rugby 1, 2—Member of Hi-Y. We have often wondered how Vince manages to lead the whole school in the race home at noon and after four. Maybe he violates a very sacred rule to accomplish this feat. More speed (or hours) to Vincent. MARY MARGARET SULLIVAN—Room Rep. 4. A newcomer whom we gladly welcome to Western halls. She sings beautifully, and some day the world may hear about Mary—already she is famed for her talent in Algebra and Trig. (???). Hopes to go to Varsity to study Bacteriology. Good luck! FINDLAY TRICKEY—He is a member of the Wescani Club. He came to West¬ ern from a Winnipeg High School where he played Rugbv, Hockey and Basketball. He has taken no part in our sports, however. He is undecided about his future. ROBERTA MAE TODD—This vivacious young lady is Class l’s man-hater. (Sorry, Roberta, we won’t believe it). Her hobbies are walking and writing. Her ambition is to become a reporter. GERTRUDE WEBBER (Gertie)—Envied for her “ever curly locks.” She is secretary of “The Loud Speaker.” As reliable as day and night when it comes to answering Literature questions, and thus saves many a day. Went to Normal but decided school was better than teaching, so came to Western. MARGARET ISABEL WELSH—Marg. doesn’t brighten us with her presence very often. She is an elocutionist of renown—just hear her some time. We hear that she “dotes on bugs” and that she intends to go to Normal next year. JOHN GOLDING WEST—Rugby 1, 2. A member of Hi-Y and Wescani clubs. Jack hopes to go to the U. of A. for mediicne. Jack used to rival Sir Mal¬ colm Campbell by his speed tests, but those days are gone forever. THORNTON WHITE—Thornton is another of our radio experts, and he is often heard announcing programs from a local station. We hope he excels in this work and can some day be heard over the national chain. FREDERICK WILLIAMS—Fred leans toward radio rather than school work. This intense interest even springs forth between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. He hopes to attend U. of A. and become an Electrical Engineer, specializing in radio. At present he is an ardent short wave fan. KENNETH WRIGHT—Rugby 1. Attends school for one half-day only, an d then only periodically. His interests seem to lean to dancing, and we saw him wielding a wicked foot in the review. Ken’s future is still undecided. JENNY OLIVE WYRICK—Just small enough to be sweet and big .enough to be substantial,—that’s our Jennie. Forecast for her future—Mojnnt Royal Col¬ lege. Her hobbies are dancing and Maths. Page twenty-two YEAR MTlAGEN iD.rmtsziEl R. MURRAY R. DYKE F. WILLIAMS V. STOTT ■ J. FRY ■ R.TODD L 22 S C.

An all-round good sport and especially noted for her exceptional ability on the Senior Basketball team. Hopes to be a nurse as she envies all those in starched uniforms. KATHERINE JOSEPHINE ADOLPH—A friend of the worms—can’t stand to see them cut up in Biology. One of the Adolph sisters, famed for their sunny dispositions and beautiful hair. She insists on wondering what Mr. Harding is doing with those test tubes and that messy black stuff. BETTY LOREEN ALLAN (Betty to you)—Went to Western, then devoted a year of her time at Commercial. Came back to Western only to leave us again. She likes swimming, dancing and what have you ? Renowned for her biologi¬ cal massacre of Willie and Oscar (clams). At present is at home. JOHN FRANKLIN AIKENHEAD—Jack does not take part in school sports a great deal, but he can show you a thing or two about golf. He plans to finish his Senior Matriculation next year, then he will study medicine at the U. of A. NORA KATHLEEN BAKER—By her arts of mimicry (Pop-eye favorite victim), this happy-go-lucky personage manages to keep all those around her giggling. Her heart and mind are set upon the career of nursing. Her main worry now is to find a maximum value by differentiation. HAROLD KIRK BAKER—“Hal” plays rugby and baseball and plays around with the teachers. He is quite a speed skater, being on our winning relay team. He intends to go in for Diesel Engineering, if, as and when he gets out of Western. DOROTHY FAIRPULL BALLANTYNE—Class 2’s book-worm and literary genius. We suspect that she reads far, far into the night and then forgets to get up in the morning. She is very quiet and reserved and—hear ye—pays attention to the teachers. Of course, she aspires to be a journalist. MARY ANNE BEATON—McKillop Scholarship (3), Junior Mathriculation Schol¬ arship. The Fates ordained that this modest personality should be a shining star, with the result that we gaze with awe at her dazzling averages. WILLIAM GRAHAM CAMPBELL BOYD—A stalwart member of our Intermedi¬ ate Rugby team. Campbell has his heart set on being a policeman, but next year will probably find him at Western again. DOUGLAS FRANK BUCHANAN—Doug, plans to come back to Western next year. He says he has no ambition, but we disagree—he is just too modest. “Douglas is a silent lad. But when he’s around the girls arc glad.” THOMAS HUGH BUCHANAN—His sunny disposition and sterling personality win him many friends. He is interested in ever snort and nla v s them all well. He aspires to become a famous doctor. Next year will find him at Mount Royal.

We may expect to hear his name some day connected with radio fame. MADGE MARION CARDELL—Madge is President of the Kappa Gamma Sorority and a member of the Girls’ Hi-Y. Is usually the centre of a group of admir¬ ing males. Has quite a happy time of it with only four subjects, but 1 we predict work ahead when she starts her nursing course at Varsity. JEAN SHANKS CLARK—Puzzle: “How does Jean do it?”—Vice-President of the Girls’ Hi-Y; Room Representative (3), (4); averages around 90 per cent. Says she detests school (we don’t believe it). Ambition: To pass by Western during the last month of school without having to go in. JACK EDWARD CORBETT—“Corbie” is a member of the new Wescani Club. Next year he intends to go to Varsity to study Medicine. He is noted for his blushes when teased about the way he spends his week-ends. FRANCES LUCILLE CRAWFORD (Fran.)—Points: 1, Believes in a minimum of school effort but always gets honors; 2, Her height makes her an invalu¬ able centre on the Senior Basketball team; 3, Holds an undisputed record for snappy comebacks to teachers. BOOK Page twenty-five CLASS 2—(Continued) DOROTHY ALBERTA CROCKET—A peppy person. President of the Girls’ Association, member of the Kappa Gamma Sorority, and of the Girls’ Hi-Y club. She prefers blonde gentlemen—we wonder why? Dorothy giggles and the world giggles with her (even Mr. Harding). BETTY CROOKS (Garbo)—Noted for saying what she feels like saying and eat¬ ing what she feels like eating—even in school. Has established a record for her excellent compositions, and for playing the piano at parties. MARGARET MAY DARROCH—The eternal “Why?” in Biology—e.g. “Why do cats have whiskers?” She prefers to show her prowess by playing the piano, rather than by doing Trig, questions. She soon hopes to have her L.A.B. Cheerful, friendly, buoyant and popular. WILLIAM HAROLD DINGLE—Bill stars equally well in rugby, baseball and on the track, and has led Western teams for the past three years. His career is undecided. “He gets honors in almost everything. But doesn’t do homework—no, not a thing.” JOSEPH DVORK1N—“Stooge” played on the champion Intermediate Rugby team of ’34, and also played for the juniors the previous year. He intends to study law and economics, but we are afraid that he will turn out to be another politician. JAMES GRANT FLEMING—Plays rugby and hockey like a flash, and he can draw any type of aeroplane. He is interested in aeronautics and hopes to become a transport pilot. The girls think he’s cute. KENNETH DAVID GRAINGER—Ken helped to bring the Intedmediate Rugby cup to Western this year with some smart playing on the wing. Next year he intends to migrate to B.C. Who are you running away from, Ken ? MURIEL BROWNING HARVEY—Comes to Western for only one subject and spends the rest of the time at Commercial and elsewhere. Is particularly interested in dancing and going places. Her ambition is to acquire a Scottie —man or beast?

Will be seen in the future in some research laboratory after completing a course in Electrical Engineering at the U. of A. CONSTANCE ALICE HICKSON—Our Connie is renowned in athletic, circles, throughout the city. However, she persists in disabling herself, with the re¬ sult that she has had to quit basketball. We hope she will be able to continue winning tennis cups. Does homework when necessary. Prefers them tall and dark. JOSEPH WILSON HODGE—“Willy” is one of o ur bright students. He has a great deal of ambition but is undecided on his vocation. “Willy” should be given a patent to protect himself against those who want to borrow his Latin. EELEN TEMPLETON HUGILI One of the honored few of Class 2—she gets out early. She is usually seen rushing hither and thither carrying a huge pile of books. Has established a record for getting here exactly one one- hundredth of a second before the last bell. Next year we will see her count¬ ing poultices and shaking up pillows. CHARLES WILLIAM IRELAND—Bill is President of the Debating Society and a very active member of the Wescani Club. He hopes to study Medicine at Varsity next year. We all think we’re funny, and so does Bill. BRUCE NORMAN MACAULAY—This blonde-headed mischief-maker of Class 2 is one of our star rugby and hockey players.

Page twenty-six YEAR CLASS 2—(Continued) MARJORIE IDA NOCK—A room representative for the Girls’ Association. Often caught playing X’s and O’s in Trig, period. She feels that she will have accomplished her ambition when she can teach the rising generation the mys¬ teries of integration. She has applied to Mr. Collier for the patent to her laugh. MARY ISABELLA MARTIN—This tiny girl with wavy hair and friendly smile has won applause for her excellent oral composition, her fancy skating and badminton ability. Strangely enough, her Titian locks are not matched with a fiery temper. Has a habit of answering her correspondence in school.

He attended Tech, before coming here and he intends to study electricity, but where, he doesn’t know.

Next year will probably find him at Western. DOUGLAS WILLIAM KENNETH TAYLOR—This strong, silent man believes that silence is golden, and takes his work very seriously. He hopes to go to work next year and to follow this with a University course in Geology. Best of luck, Doug. IRIS TRIMBLE—Iris came down from Lacombe to monopolize all our 100%’s in Trig. She confesses she has a perfect passion for Mink coats. She possesses a great deal of magnetism for the masculine element in Western. PHYLLIS SARA WOLOCHOW—Take notice: That this learned maiden prefers averages of around 90% and gets them too; that she walked off with last year’s Bennett Scholarship; that she is head of the Art Department of the Year Book. She occupies one of our front seats, but that doesn’t prevent her from doing homework in school. ELEANOR THOMASINE WILSON—Shows and parties are this maiden’s special weakness and Math, is her pet aversion. Her main ambition is to get out of school. We hope it won’t be too soon as we would miss her cheery smile. ERIC DONALD WILSON—Although one of the best students in the school he finds time to star in rugby and hockey. He hopes his next stop will be the U. of A. where he will become a Mining Engineer. He has charge of the boys’ write-ups for the Year Book.

Wants to continue the struggle by taking Arts or Medicine at Varsity. BOOK Page twenty-seven Room 6 CLASS 3 Mr. Dobson PAUL BAKER—Was born in Merrie England several years ago. He came to Calgary via Moncton and Fredericton. Rideau is to blame for his early education. In Western he has won fame as a debater; indeed, it has been said that his skill in this line is hardly equalled by our silver-tongued Premier. JACK BLIGHT—When is a blight not a blight? When it is spelled with a capital B. Jack is a shining light of Class 3, but his modesty makes him hide his light under several blushes. In spite of that Jack will bring credit to Western in the years to come. Good luck, Jack! JOHN ERNEST CHEAL—Born in England, attended Rideau. and is now an in¬ mate of Western’s dark halls. His ambition is to take Kreisler’s position in the musical world of tomorrow. To further this aim he fiddles his time away. MALCOLM CLARK—“Caesar” is noted principally for three things. The first is his perpetual motion machines and devices of a like value; second for phrase¬ ology of compositions; third for his mathematical solutions of problems whose answers are of no value when obtained. PEGGY COLLINS—A coming journalist forsooth! Peg comes to us from C.C.I., bringing with her a sunny smile and a pleasing personality which has gained her many friends within our domains. Some day we expect something start¬ ling from her along the literary line. FRANK CRAWFORD—Frank is always rough and ready. He is another Com¬ munist although lately he has come down to Social Credit. His hopes and ideas are high, but we believe he intends to study Pharmacy. KATHERINE CUMMING (Katy)—Miss Cumming is an up-and-doing young Twentieth Century personality. You can take it from us she’s Katie to her friends, but never Katty. JOHN DAVIDSON—Plays rugby and is a champion at golf, badminton and squash. His ambition is to win a major golf tournament, but for more seri¬ ous amusement he will study law. MARY DILLON—One of those modern magicians who is able to go places, yet always manages to get her Latin and Algebra done. Her dark curls and school girl complexion are the envy of all her classmates. As delightful a personality as you would find anywhere. DONALD RAE FISHER—Attended Elbow Park and Rideau Schools. Is a bad¬ minton and hockey enthusiast.

Attended Elbow Park and Rideau Schools. His ambition is to pass seven subjects this year by hook or by crook. He will be back next year, then we’ll find out what he aims to be and do. ROMOLA GIRVIN—A pleasing personality who can’t quite see the wherefore or why of school, but comes just the same. Romola has intentions of graduating at some future date and in the meantime makes the best of it. MURIEL GOLDBERG (Moo)—Claims the smart and sophisticated section of the class and succeeds very well indeed. Yet “order and quietness reign supreme where she is not.” RUTH GOUDIE—A—Artistic ability; B—Blonde; C—Capability; D—Dependability; SUM—A swell girl.

Her combination of fair hair, school-girl complexion, lots of personality and cheery smile for all make her one of the most popular members of Class 3. MILTON HYNDMAN—Milt holds the championship as the fastest walker in West¬ ern. He intends to go East and work with an automobile company or a grain company next year. (We wonder if he intends to walk). In any event we are confident of his success. AUDREY LOIS IRELAND—Lois is one delightful personality who adds charm to her surroundings. She believes that the pen is mightier than the sword and plans to startle the world some day. Besides her literary ability, her hands are capable of very beautiful music.

She aspires to the fame of a journalist with McGill University in view next year. Member of Hi-Y. ISABEL MACGREGOR—George Bernard Shaw’s greatest rival due to her drama¬ tic fables. Isabel is noted for her lack of affection for “bugs,” hence doesn’t approve of Biology, but makes up for this discrepancy in all other subjects. MARIE McPHAIL—Year Book Representative 4. This charming personality is one of the popular members of Class 3, surpassing many in Comp. Class with her fine literary ability. Marie has just joined up with us this year, comifig to us from East Calgary High. VERDIE McPHERSON—Verdie comes to us from C.C.I., but only to be with us for a few periods each day. She makes these enjoyable. Verdie has a great affinity for gum and chatting. The bane of her existence is the effort to re¬ member her Year Book money. MILDRED MAIN (MILLY)—Her hair is soft and flaxen Her teeth they are like pearls Her smile it flashes often But she is noted for her guffaw! VIRGINIA MARTIN—An industrious student with a habit of doing Trig, ques¬ tions for the whole class.

DENIS EDWARD MASON—A local product who now shaves twice a week. Being mightily proud of his fine hairy legs he joined the Calgary Highlanders and rose to the rank of sergeant. A timid lad, but one who will go far. ARTHUR MILLER—What would the Senior Rugby team do without Art? It is hard to realize but we are safe in saying that this quiet gentleman was one of the mainstays in Western’s backfield for the past three years.

However, he does not win many points from Mr. Hard¬ ing, but we wish him success in any line. WILLIS MORGAN—Willis is one of the few people who are able to operate a radio broadcasting station. He has his own station and we understand that he is quite a radio technician. He plans on attending University to study Electrical Engineering. ALEXANDER PATTERSON (SANDY)—Head of the Photographic section of the Year Book, enthusiastic member of the Wescani Club, and owner of a deep baritone voice, which he has developed greatly in bewailing the building of the 6-foot fence around the Western Canada school grounds.

His ambition is to send messages to Southern California. We wonder why! ROBERT PATTERSON—Bob is a very quiet chap who excels in Latin.

By her ready smile no one would guess the grief Algebra sometimes causes. RONALD MacLAUCHLAN BROWN—This Scottish youth wandered to school a short time before Christmas. He is quite fond of the girls and they fall for his curly hair and his accent. He is going to attend University of Alberta next year. MARGARET RUTH CAMERON (Peggy)—One of Calgary’s old-timers. Fond of dancing and a good time, but turns to greater things too, for Peggy wants to get her L.A.B. and thinks teaching would be worth her while.

A star of Acme’s Basketball and Softball teams. Hopes to become a nurse. “Speech is silvern—silence golden.” HENRY LOUIS GOFSKY—A great rugby player. He held down wing on the Seniors for two years. His first year he made the Interscholastic All-Star team. This last year he slowed down a little, but he made the second All- Star team. His future is undecided.

Next year she plans to grace the halls of Normal School and from there, who knows ? Her favorite sport is seeing how many books she can read during the week-end.

Her ambition is to be all starched and prim—you know —a nurse. Good luck “Franchie”! IRENE ETTA LEVY (Tiny)—Tiny came to us this year from Parkland, but has already endeared herself to Class 4. This petite young lady plans to go to Normal next year. Being a shining light herself Tiny ought to do well at the head of a schoolroom. The old saying—“good things are done up in small parcels”—holds true here. FAIR LUNDY—Somewhat of a globe-trotter.

Stewy intends to make her fortune in radio work. DONALDA ISABEL SUTHERLAND—Donalda also hails from Acme. This accounts for those lengthy discussions with Helen whenever Mrs. Bagnall’s back is turned. Another baseball enthusiast too. Donalda plans to become a nurse. Her quiet manner leads us to believe she will become famous at this.

Intends to go to University of Minnesota for Chemical Criminology. HELEN TUPLING—This is Helen’s first year at Western. She seems little or not at all mystified by it all, and has taken a fancy to Chemistry and Latin. However, this is explained by the fact that nursing is her aim. WILLIAM ROSS UPTON—A tall, dark, spectacled youth who hangs out in Room 14 when not elsewhere. He seems very interested in the girls. Tut! Tut! Ross!

But now, it was time to go home, so he set out down the twisty little path that led (eventually) to his very back door. As he skipped merrily along he found it very difficult to account for the airy and elated feeling that had taken possession of him. The cool, exhilarating air re¬ freshed him and the friendly darkness of the forest beckoned to him. But as he went deeper and deeper into the forest, the darkness became threatening, the trees leered at him, and it seemed that every bush held some horrible crouching figure. He thought he heard stealthy footsteps behind him. He turned, but there was no one. He walked on quickening his pace. Those stealthy footsteps kept up with him. Then a wild, unreasoning fear swept over him. He tried to run; but the trees extended gnarled arms to prevent his pro¬ gress, stones sprang up in his path, roots tripped him. Suddenly a hand grasped his ankle—and then poor little Johnny Woodchuck fainted. The next morning the sky was a beautiful blue. At first, only one or two birds twittered sleepily, a few more joined in, and then—even as the sun’s genial face rose above the horizon and bathed the forest with his golden light—the whole forest was filled with song. Nothing was reminiscent of the terrors of the night but a still little figure, lying on the twisty path. It was poor Johnny Woodchuck. But suddenly the figure stirred, sat up. Johnny rubbed his head dazedly. Then, as if released by a hidden spring, all the horrors of last night returned in a flood. He remembered the hand clutching his ankle—but from there all was blank. Shuddering, he looked down. That glance explained everything. His braces had broken and become tangled around his feet— And was his face red!

Page forty-four YEAR Okatituite One day when the sun was high the Spanish rebel leader stood on the doorstep of a peasant’s cottage and demanded in bold tones that the farmer join his forces for revolt. The man protested fearfully, giving as excuse the necessity for supporting and protecting his wife and four little children. Don Luka stood facing him, his vast frame overshadowing the light frame of the other, his coarse lips curled in a malicious grin, “Ha!” he yelled with a vile oath, “I can provide for that! But now—food, spaniel! Not a morsel have I tasted since dawn! Come, let your wife show how she deserves to be provided for. Even your filthy food is better than none!” The farmer, timid, but nevertheless grateful to his overlord for his promise, gave instructions and soon steaming saute of calf’s heart, foaming Amontillado wine, and rich, aromatic Spanish scone were placed on the poor table. It was the finest the cottage could furnish. The uncouth tyrant fell to with complete disregard of grace. Food over¬ crammed into his huge mouth fell from the corners of his lips to the floor. At last, satisfied with having devoured all he could, he wiped the last of the wire from his greasy, jet moustache with the back of an enormous, hairy hand and shouted for the mistress of the house. She came, her children, frightened at the rowdiness of this rough stranger, clinging to her skirts. The peasant, having also heard the cries, entered behind her. Don Luka rose, upsetting his stool with a crash. “Diablo! Now I will provide for you and your rabble spawn!” he yelled, whipping out his short pistol. Five sharp cracks and the peasant woman lay, blood pouring from her breast with her pitifully bloody babies about her. The killer snarled at the terrified peasant through his ugly fangs. “Perhaps I have another recruit,” he said, “—since his woman and offspring are provided for.” DOROTHY McCAIG (Class 3) Unitortfs nf a GUrrm.

Unutrtfa Htstt On Friday, November 23rd, our school was honoured by a visit from the lit. Hon. R. B. Bennett, Prime Minister of Canada, who presented two Scholar¬ ships. Audrey Baxter of last year’s Grade XII received one of these and Phyllis Wolochow of last yea r’s Grade XI and Grade XII of this year the other. Dr. Scott accompanied Mr. Bennett and presented the McKillop Scholarship for 1934 to Mary Ann Beaton. Mr. Bennett addressed the senior students in the library and complimented the school and the winners of these Scholarships, at the same time wishing them every success in the future along the road to learning. We take this opportunity of adding our felicitations and good wishes to these honoured mem¬ bers of our students and ex-students. Mrs. Bagnall: I thought I told you to study your History and here you are and can’t repeat a word of it. B. McCauley: Well, I’ve always been told that history repeats itself. Intatui As Read by Findlay Trickey (Class I) There should be no monotony In studying your botany; It helps to train And spur the brain Unless you haven’t gotany. It teaches you, does botany To know the plants and spotany And learn just why They live or die In case you plant or potany. You learn, from reading botany Of woolly plants and cottony That grow on earth And what they’re worth And why some spots have notany. You sketch the plants, in botany, You learn to chart and plotany Like com or oats. You jot down notes If you know how to jotany. Your time, if you’ll allotany Will teach you how and whatany Old plant or tree Can do or be, And that’s the use of botany!

His duties were taken over by Ken Roberts who worked with the Seniors. Cec MacKinnon and “Tooney” Nott gave much of their time, working hard and long with the Intermediates and Juniors. The Intermediates proved themselves beyond any doubt to be the best team in their division by winning the championship. SENIORS Although the team won only one game, they enjoyed a successful season. The fighting spirit which dominated every game, and the unflinching manner in which they took their defeats, made them an outstanding team in the league. The Seniors were supplied with quantity and quality in regard to players, but for some unknown reason, as a team they did not “click.” The outstanding feature of the team’s play was the use of the forward pass. Western Seniors attempted and completed more forward passes than did any of their opponents. iOaij-out of Senior Uugby Picture Back Row: H. Sutherland, A. Miller, D. Carmichael, V. Stott, W.

INTERMEDIATES The Intermediate team was certainly compensated for the small turn-out of players by the hiph quality and outstandinp playinp ability of those who did report for duty. The team very successfully won their division champion¬ ship, and at all times showed themselves to be a keen, quick, hard-fighting orpanization. In the first pame Humphries and Porteous starred and went over for major scores to defeat C.C.I. 11 to 4. The next contest apainst St. Mary’s resulted in a hard foupht but well- earned 7-2 victory for Western. Walford claimed the winninp honors. Western seemed sliphtly out of form in the third pame, but they manaped to nose out Tech by a 3-0 score. Crescent Heiphts fell before Western’s squad on the short end of a 13-0 score. Perry, a Junior star, assisted by Walford, won the scorinp honors. It is worthy of note that while Western did not have a larpe total score, only six points were scored apainst them. The team and their positions indicated on their picture. JUNIORS The Western Canada Junior rupby squad which finished in third position was a lipht, speedy team, handicapped only by lack of weipht. The half line, exceptionally pood for a junior team, was supported by “All Star” Hank Perry, Art Robb, Ronnie Galloway and Bill Hamilton. Georpe Garbutt filled his position superbly as a quarter. Gordon Cardell as centre snapped the ball steadily and well. Nelson Varcoe, Dan Spittal and Clarke Chambers assisted on the defense as insides. Doup Hall, Doup Floyd and Bill Purdy operated smoothly on power plays. The team was reinforced by fast, pritty ends—John Cardell, Rees Alverson, Georpe Hardy, Gordon Adie and Bill Vanlderstine. ituih £ rhml fiaftmintmt Durinp the 1934-35 badminton season a new venture was attempted by the Calpary Badminton Club. They donated a trophy which was to be com¬ peted for in an interscholastic badminton leapue by a team composed of four boys and four pirls from each school in the city. The pames were to be played on the Calpary Club courts durinp the Christmas holidays. This was done with an idea to increase the interest of Calpary students in badminton because it is from them that the future champions of the pame will have to come. The hiph schools which entered the competition were Western Canada, Central and Crescents. The public schools were Elbow Park, Rideau, Earl Grey and Mount Royal. The tournament was operated on a handicap basis and the Western Canada eipht were piven the largest handicap of all. Despite this larpe handicap, Western was successful in defeatinp all other competitors, thus winninp the beautiful cup for the first year it has been up for competition. We have hopes that this trophy will remain with us for many years to come. Page fifty-six YEAR E.ADOLPH W V.

In the league we have won nearly all our games to date, Crescents being the only team to defeat us. In exhibition games we have defeat ed Wittichens, Robins and Technical. The girls travelled to Olds, and played and defeated the Agricultural College team there. We also defeated this team in a return game. We all appreciate the time that Mr. Dingle spent coaching us, and wish to extend our thanks to him. The Team: Marg. Hayden—Our top scorer and one of the chief reasons for the team’s success—played right forward. Em. Irving—Teamed with Marg. at left forward. Em. also scored her share of the points. Florence Lincoln—Always gave a good account of herself. Florence played left forward. Frances Crawford—Played centre—was a cool, steady player. Eleanor Adolph—One of the hardest workers on the team. Eleanor plays guard. Gwen Mahood—Gwen is an excellent guard, saving many sure baskets. Viv. Maguire—Viv. played excellent basketball, but was not given an opportunity to show her real ability. BOOK Page fifty-seven Betty Priestley—Centre—Betty was always in the midst of the play, giving her best. Lena Hambling—Lena played forward and was also a very hard worker. Sheila McLennan—A guard that could always be counted upon to give her best. Louise Young—Although about the smallest player in the league, Louise seemed able to keep up with the largest. Hmultng Ideactue BILL IRELAND The interscholastic Bowling has recently completed its most successful season. The league consisted of eighteen teams, four of which represented Western. Western was very successful this year as two of our teams gained a place in the play-offs, and finally captured second and fourth place in the league. The Golden Loafers, made up of Bill Morkill (captain), Kay Tait, Dave Bell and Florence Lincoln, came second, and the Lucky Strikes, whose members are Bill Ireland (captain), Lucy Pierce, Doug Smith and Helen Cantwell, were fourth. Miss Maxwell: “What are those little things under there?” pointing to pencil shavings. Vince Stott: “Those are my feet.” C.C.I. Student: “Your school never turns out gentlemen.” Les Matheson: “No, our school allows them to go right on and graduate.” A group of students were asked to write a short dramatic sketch. The following is one of these sketches: “A tired, dusty and weary traveler approached the door of an apartment in a large block. He fumbled with his keys and finally managed to open the door. There on the chesterfield sat a woman in another man’s arms; just visible in the gloom. Whipping out a revolver he fired twice. He then reached over and turned on the light. He looked about him and then screamed, ‘Heavens, this isn’t my apartment’.” Poh:o fifty-eight YEAR 3Kmttnr ( ivW HaaketbaU The Junior team consisted almost entirely of girls who expect to play Junior again next year. Through the efficient coaching of Mr. George Dean, a very strong team was built up, which showed keen competition in every game. All the girls hope that next year, with a little more practice and experience, they will be able to capture the trophy for which they tried so hard this year. The Team: Margaret Chalmers—Plays forward and is dependable for her straight shots. Natalie Ellis—Right guard—she is a strong player, especially in making long shots and handling the ball. Dorothy Foster—Plays centre or forward. She has added numerous points to Western’s scores by her accurate shooting. Dorothy Grainger—Right guard—she is an excellent passer and a fast pivoter. Alice Laven—Left guard—she prevented many scores and her long and swift shots were a big asset to the team. Agnes Nickle—Plays guard—she is very accurate and sure in her checking. Fay Peacock—An all-round player who does well playing guard, centre or forward, and is the most dependable player on the team. Margaret Roberts—Right forward—she does very well on the forward line and is a steady player. Jeanette Sales—Forward—so speedy that she is hard to follow on the floor. Veneia Tupper—Centre—she is the tallest player on the team and gives Western many tip-offs. Considering that this is the first year these girls have played together, they did exceedingly well, and can be counted on to do better next year. —DORA PRIESTLEY.

This year the Athletic Association joined it, and as the one association, its work was greatly increased. A tea was held in November to raise funds to pay for any basketball requirements and any other need which might arise. Throughout the year the Association sponsored Vocational talks, having as some of its speakers Miss Riley of the Public Library, Miss Barbara Claxton of the Y.W.G.A., and Mrs. Ross Henderson, formerly a dietitian with the Gas Company. It is sincerely hoped that the Association formed four years ago will con¬ tinue doing its good work. Officers: President—Dorothy Crockett. Vice-presidents—Florence Lincoln, Em. Irving and Dora Priestley. INITIATION The initiation of new girls in the fall of 1934, was in the form of a social. Contrary to custom there were no grotesque figures prancing in and out of the rooms and downs the halls. Beginning at four o’clock the girls, old and new alike, assembled in the girls’ basement for a sing-song. It might be said that it was no sing-song but an Indian rampage. BOOK Page sixty-three Miss McCracken welcomed the new girls and Eleanor Carlyle responded on their behalf. In accordance with an old custom of the Girls’ Association each freshette was presented with a bit of red and green, signifying that she now belonged to the Girls’ Association. Refreshments were served. “We are the school girls of Western, The happy school girls are we. We’ll be true to each other, And friends we’ll always be. Some other schools may surpass us, But as the years come and go, We’ll cherish Western memories And all the friends that we love so.” CItp iFmtrlt Club Under the leadership of Miss Maxwell, “Le Cercle Francais,” just newly- organized, have held several enjoyable meetings. Their aim is to increase pro¬ ficiency in conversational French. They attended the Dramatic Festival to hear the play “Bon Sang Ne Ment Pas,” subscribed to “Le Petit Journal,” and have planned many entertaining meetings. Members: Margaret Humphries, Muriel Goldberg, Marian Lipkind, Jean Clark, Mary Beaton, Mary Dillon, Marjorie Nock, Ruth Goudie and Dorothy McCaig. Wmaut OXlub This year has seen the formation of another club in Western Canada High School—namely, the Wescani Club. As it is composed entirely of “Western High” boys, the name was taken from Western Canada High. The Club meets once a week, and after the business has been dispensed with one of the members gives a talk on some current topic, and this is followed by a general discussion of the subject. It was decided to post a “bulletin” once a week informing the students of Western concerning the school’s activities. The bulletin got away to a good start and was favorably received. Unfortunately a breakdown of the press— Sandy Patterson’s typewriter—brought about the end of its publication. The Club is composed of the following: Mr. T. E. A. Stanley, honorary president; Mr. I. C. Flick, mentor; Stuart Nott, president; members-—Les Anderson, Jack Corbett, Jack Humphries, Stanley James, Donald McDaniel, Douglas Morris, William Morkill, Sandy Patterson, Stewart Robertson, Regi nald Smith, Findlay Trickey, William Uren, John West, William Ireland. Hestmt Canada lebattug Club This organization was formerly one of the most active clubs in the school. After the sad loss of our leader, Mr. Stevenson, the club seemed to break up quickly. Several attempts were made to organize a school league, but no sup¬ port was given to the executive by the students. In March the club presented a debate before the Home and School Association which was very successful. Executive 1935: President—Bill Ireland. Secretary—Jack Corbett.

(Stria’ 3fi-§ This year there was organized in the school, with Miss Sage as mentor, a Girls’ Hi-Y Club, whose members consisted of girls from grades eleven and twelve. Bi-monthly meetings were held in the Study Boom, and a great variety of programmes was arranged, including talks and discussions on Current Events, Music, Travel and other subjects of interest to the girls. As these meetings proved very popular with the members, it is fully expected that the Club will be continued throughout the coming years. The purpose of the Hi-Y Club is, “To create, maintain, and extend through¬ out the school and community high standards of Christian character, and to stand together on and for the platform of clean speech, clean sportsmanship and clean living.” Members: Marian Egleston, president; Jean Clark, vice-president; Margaret Humphries, secretary; Dorothy White, treasurer; Madge Cardell, Margaret Hayden, Florence Lincoln, executive committee; Emily Irving, Merle Voss, Gwen Mahood, Dorothy Hutton, Dorothy Crockett, Mary Sullivan, Dorothy McCaig. Page sixty-six YEAR 2Caj.tj.ta Ciantma CSIUtb For the past six years this club has been a link between all the high schools. The members are chosen annually and supper meetings are held every Tuesday at the Y.W.C.A. This year there have been twenty active members under the leadership of Miss Florence Stacey and Miss Barbara Claxton. Dis¬ cussion on books, current events and topics of interest to girls, and talks by a local speaker on Astronomy, Peace and War, The Youth Movement and other subjects, formed the programme. The club purpose is: “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 com¬ munity, high standards of Christian character, and to stand together on and for the platform of clean speech, clean sports, clean scholarship and clean living.” The members from Western Canada have been: 1929- 30—Helen Ford and Blanche McMurchy. 1930- 31—Helen Bayne and Pat Gibson. 1931- 32—Dorothy Peacock and Madeline Austin. 1932- 33—Helen Webb and Betty Black. 1933- 34—Marion Egleston and Madge Cardell. 1934- 35—Marion Egleston, Madge Cardell, Dorothy Crockett and Marg. Hayden. (Santnta ptt The organization of the Gamma Phi may be traced back to the year 1914. This club is composed of senior students representing the various high schools usually three or four from each school. Mr. Frank Hall, Boys’ Work Secretary, and Leslie Matheson of the Riverside Y are the leaders of this club. Meetings are held once a week in which various topics are discussed and analysed. The club is studying the “Youth Movements” to foresee what part youth plays and takes in the world today. A study of Vocational Guidance is also being carried on. A monthly paper known as the “Hi-Y Bulletin” is now being issued to the various Hi-Y organizations, containing news of the various clubs, etc. The Western Canada representatives of this club for the past three years have been: 1932- 33—Lloyd Hutton, John Davidson (secretary), Frank Johnson. 1933- 34—Bob Taylor, Dick Stapells, Leslie Matheson, Roland Richardson. 1934- 35—Conrad Mackey, Bill Pentland, Bob Church (vice- president), Les Matheson (mentor), Jim Macqueen (treasurer), Harlow Sutherland. The motto of this club sums up its purpose: “To create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community, high standards of Christian character.” BOOK Pap:e sixty-seven ipmp auii i rljnnl AasDriattmt The Home and School Association recently completed its second year. This season, 1934-35, has witnessed some definite growth under the president, Mrs. R. S. Bevan, and her able executive and the kindly support and co-operation of the Principal and members of his staff. It is our aim to be of such service as will enable the students to feel that their interests and welfare are our concern. This, I think, was demonstrated in some measure by many calls made and flowers sent to sick ones, and the fact that we were successful in having a stove put in the girls’ room, through the kindness of the School Board, which not only permits the Association to hold social events, but also provides added comfort for those who may have to stay at school through the lunch time. A very successful membership tea was held in the school in October under the convenorship of Mrs. M. Cassidy and Mrs. C. P. McGuffin. The proceeds from a luncheon in February enabled us to purchase some kitchen equipment which was pressed into service for the first time on “Fathers’ Night” held in March. This was most encouraging, both because so many of our talented students provided the excellent programme, and also by the presence of several fathers, one of whom, Mr. Frank Freeze, made a splendid chairman. We hope the idea will grow, that next year will see many more fathers present and showing interest in the movement. Our final contribution for the year was a donation of $15.00 to provide some addition to the School Library, taking the form of an eight-volume work on “Navigations, Voyages, etc., of the English Nation.” During the year many able speakers addressed us, including a member of the staff. Several fine artists added joy to our meetings. These meetings are held the first Wednesday of each month at 3:30 p.m. A cordial welcome awaits you, if you are interested in the pupils of Western Canada High School.

T. H. Page sixty-eight YEAR iEntrhrlmnrft Serbstein Penitentiary, Slovania, August 14th, 1934. Chief of Police, Gambettili, Slovania. Dear Sir: I am now an old man and I feel it my duty to inform you of an infamous crime, committed many years ago in my youth. I do not wish you to think that it was my crime, but it was one of my knowledge. King Alfonso of this country, having passed away, the rule of the state of Slovania now fell into the hands of King Gustav, the Amiable Soldier. As you perhaps have heard, although you yourself would probably be but a child, he did not in any way resemble the strong-willed father whom he succeeded: his hand was of putty, not of iron. His people loved his frank truthfulness and amicability, but few realized his weakness. At the time of his accession the country was peaceful, although there was, of course, the ever-present under¬ current of revolt among the Socialists. And so, a few weeks after the coronation, a company of Socialists met in the gloomy cellar of a second-class hotel in the capital city. The leader of the gang was speaking, urging his men to revolt. “Who wants a king?” he scorned in his smooth-tongued contemptuous way, and there was a murmur of assent from the dim figures standing in the shadow of the walls. I was one of those men. “It’s equality we want!” he continued forcibly. “You were born equal to this Gustav. I was born equal to this Gustav. Why should we be subordinated to the will of another man?” So it went for half an hour and then the plot was unfolded. “You, Slenski, will be on the south side of the Citadel Gambetti with two others. You, Ballio, will be on the north side. I will stand in the Crowd about twenty-five metres farther on, and on the north side.” Slenski remonstrated, “I do not want to spend the rest of my days in prison or have my neck snapped by the cruel devices of the state.” “Ha! Coward!” said the leader reproachfully. “You do not stand for your beliefs. You are afraid to die for the cause!” Slenski was silenced. The king’s gleaming carriage rolled smoothly along the street between the crowds of people that lined either side; his fine greys stepped high. They approached the Citadel Gambetti. The king sat, smiling upon the shouting throngs, his hat lifted. Twenty-five metres from the Citadel a hand rose for the first time, waving a wine-colored kerchief, green-striped, and beside it was seen at the same time, a hand with a dark green cap. Quick shots snapped forth; the king fell back, his minister beside him. There was a terrible panic. Some in the crowd ran to halt the alarmed horses that plunged through the mob, terror-stricken, injuring many; some ran to find safety; some screamed; some moaned; some wept; and all milled about senselessly. When the extent of the tragedy came to light, it was found that besides the kine and his minister, one Svend I ange, known to many as a good citizen, had received a fatal shot as he ran, apparently toward the king. There was a huge, beautiful funeral and thousands paid tribute to the victims of the crime. No arrests could be made; no one could be suspected of the murder. It was all, seemingly, an unsolvable mystery. And now, because I am an old man, paying the penalty for my misdeeds, never to be free again, and because my friends and companions have passed on before me, I tell you of this atrocity. Slenski is dead, and Ballio—they died peacefully—and so are their associates. The power behind the deed, thfe leader of the Socialist company, was Svend Lange. Yours truly, DABEL GONA. —DOROTHY McCAIG (Class 3). BOOK Page sixty-nine Ifetmt’s rhnnl (Chatter During the fall term of this year, a group of socially minded students organized a school banquet and theatre party. Both were great successes. At the banquet the students who had won scholarships or honorable mention were presented with letters of congratulation from the faculty. Different students and members of the faculty made short addresses, and a number of musical selections were rendered. A snake dance to the theatre was enjoyed by many (motorists and street-car conductors not included). The Wescani Club decided to publish a weekly bulletin to inform the students concerning the activities in the school. The bulletin was a great success (much to the distress of Mr. Harding) and each new instalment was eagerly awaited. The first three instalments were published on time but the fourth was about three days late and the fifth arrived nearly a week late. We don’t believe the sixth ever arrived. While we realize that there was a great deal of work entailed we would like to have seen the bulletin continue as a weekly publication. • The election of the Year Book president this year could be termed, in the modern vernacular, a “wow”. It has been estimated that about one square city block of paper, of various grades and qualities, and five gallons of vari-colored paints, were used in making election posters. The halls looked like a studio for some fantastic show-card and poster painter. Many of the signs and posters showed real artistic ability, while many others showed more quantity than quality. In all, however, the election was a very sporting event and a great deal of enjoyment and humor arose out of it. This year the Year Book committee had the photographer come to the school and take the pictures. This system had its advantages and disadvantages. The main fault to be found was that too many students wasted time and purposely missed classes. On the other hand, more interest was shown in this branch of the work and the photography was completed in less time than here¬ tofore. The original proofs caused a great deal of amusement in the school, and it was suggested that a “rogues gallery” be formed from some of them. A short time after the Intermediates won their championship, Mr. J. G. Walford treated the team to a banquet at the York Hotel and a show at the Capitol. During the banquet Cec McKinnon was presented with a sma ll token of appreciation from the team for his work and effort on their behalf. The team is very grateful to Mr. Walford for his interest in the team. Through the courtesy of Mr. Reg. Smith, who very kindly offered the use of his home, an enjoyable party was given by members of the senior rugby team. The guests danced for awhile and then went on a scavenger hunt. It is still a mystery to the writer how nobody got an order to appear in police court, because a good many laws were badly bent and in some cases broken during this hunt. After supper some danced, some played cards, some invented a new form of bridge for any number of players, and some even cleared and washed the dishes, so every one enjoyed themselves.
