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.

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.

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. He is one of the Fisher boys with latest im¬ provements. The teachers emphasize the turret top. If all goes well he will be shunted East to a University. GEORGE ARTHUR GARBUTT—Track 1, 2; Rugby 3. 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. MARVEL HANNA—A small quiet maiden who has graced the halls of Western for two whole years. Latin seems to be her main worry, but other than that her mind is free from cares.
