SHEILA MARTIN DOHERTY
‘We were joined in our third year by this trim
little miss from New Westminster. She quickly
showed herself to be a brilliant student whom Eng
lish Honours wat proud to claim. Ability to make
marvellous marks in the most abstruse subjects would
be sufficient reason for anyone to be just a wee bit
conceited—but not Sheila. Clearness in thinking,
steadiness in acting and a saving sense of humour
place her far on the path towards success.
JAMES ALEXANDER GIBSON
James Gibson has held offices in the Players’
Club, the Historical Society, the International Rela
tions Club and the Men’s Gymnasium Club. Last
year he was a member of the “Friend Hannah” cast
and this year he took part in a debate with a team
representing the National Federations of Students in
England and Scotland. He has also contributed much
to the success of the Valedictory Gift Committee of
Arts ‘31 in its work on the B. C. Historical Collec
tion. He goes to join our Rhodes men, Ross Tolmie
and James Sinclair, at Oxford, with the sincere good
wishes of his classmates.
JOAN ELIZABETH EDWARDS
In the first two years Joan showed that she was
proficient in all subjects, but finally became a Maths.
Honour student and has since been an interested
member of the Mathematics Club. During her third
year at Varsity, Joan played guard on the Senior
“B” Basketball team but, owing to lack of time, was
forced to drop the game this year. Unless she
changes her plans, she will be back for Education
next year.
ERNEST WILLISTON SHERATON GILBERT
“Well boys, what’s the score
Ernie completed his first two years in Arts ‘30
and, after a year spent in mining gold at Premier,
returned to the Class of ‘31. Forsaking boxing and
rowing, Ernie joined the Players’ Club, playing suc
cessfully in “The World Beyond” and “Fog.” He
also maintained his musical reputation, gained by
summer work on the C.N. boats, by his appearances
with the British Columbians and the Musical Society.
Last year Ernie majored in Philosophy, and this year
is continuing with a Pre-Medical course.
FLORENCE RUTH ELLISON
Florence had better luck than most in being
able to spend some months in England during her
high school training, which she received in Trail.
She left that city in 1927 for Vancouver, to begin
her Varsity career. She has successfully carried an
eighteen-unit course in two different years, and is
particularly interested in History and English, even
those awesome courses listed under English, Division
III. She is undecided what she will choose next year:
Education, or Library Science.
