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.

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.

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 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. She has a decided aversion to having her picture taken for the Year Book, but otherwise she can usually be found with a merry disposition. 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.
