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? GLEN ROBERT HAUN—Bob is one of those fellows who believes in getting ahead in life and has made some future plans. 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. However, he never interrupts his studying for outside interests (?). His ambition is to finish Grade XII and go to Varsity for Dentistry.

Page twenty-four YEAR Room 7 CLASS 2 Mr. Flick ELEANOR LAURIE ADOLPH—Elissa Landi’s latest rival. 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. GEORGE HOLLANDS CAMPBELL—“Butch” has been a consistently good stu¬ dent at High school, yet he has found time to become an expert in radio work. 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.

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. LESLIE MATHESON—Les is President of the Hi-Y, Literary and Jokes editor of the Year Book, and Mentor of the Gamma! Phi. Is an active worker in the school and at the Y.M.C.A. Intends to go to University to prepare for a Y.M.C.A. secretary’s position. JAMES FREDERICK MATHISON—This is the first year that Western has had the privilege to have this gentleman in its halls. He attended Tech, before coming here and he intends to study electricity, but where, he doesn’t know. CHARLES NEEDHAM MAWER—“Chuck” is one of these “spic and span” gentle¬ men who play bandminton and tennis. His main interest is the cute blonde who sits across from him. He intends to take up Chartered Accountancy. DONALD PATTON McDANIEL—“Deep” is an active member of the Wescani Club. His ambition is to study law, and to this end he will enter Varsity next fall. He is the only member of the school who attended the old Western Canada College. JESSIE McKILL—Bennett Scholarship (8), (9). Governor General’s Medal (8). Hails from C.C.I. where she established an enviable scholastic reputation. Her quiet manner and winsome smile have won many friends for her here. Heads the most terrible of terrible—Physics 2—wotta gal! GRAHAM MILLER—“Gerk” is the Clark Gable of Class 2. He is famous for his fancy skating and might become a professional in that line. 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. CHRISTINE ZACHARIASSEN—Noted for her artistic ability as displayed by her Biology drawing book. Her voice is only heard by those of keen hearing —the teachers. Wants to continue the struggle by taking Arts or Medicine at Varsity.
