RICK MATTHEWS: Rick was a senior prefect, too, but found time to play hockey, House sports and football. Although at first he had trouble finding the right-sized helmet, once he was let loose on the football field, he became a real demon. Besides strumming his guitar at all hours of the night, he saw his headshrinker once a week for dream interpretations, played Ratcliffe in Billy Budd, and was RSM in Cadets. Despite Rick ' s broad strength, he suffers from chronic microce¬ phalia, but contrary to common belief, is not narrow-minded. But don ' t get in his way or you ' ll get ME ' ED. Best of luck in Law, Com¬ merce, Judo, weight-lifting etc. Remember its Quality, not Quantity”. PETER HUNTER: Snatch, the only boy in the form who had to tie a triple Windsor to keep from tripping, made up for his lack of size by packing a mean punch in the halls and on the football team. On October 31st, he became a super-hustler, and often his mind became a blick as he stared off into space thinking about his Barbie Doll. He played goal, guiding the senior hockey team to several wins, and he is a Dentistry man all the way. We hope that his walls at home are as interesting as those in his dorm. IAN BOULT: Stumpy-legs, still a Vauxhall man, sparked in football and combined with four other beef boys to give the school the heaviest defence in the league. You need that in hockey? A solid student, Ian finally got rid of his tan, and was all the Mary-er for it. Seldom tearing Germs, Blot was a great asset to the Sixth. RUSSELL BOURK: Another member of Amy ' s dapper dresser ' s club, Stoney and petite (PT) got on real well this year. Taking up football and holding down his old place as wing in hockey, Russ was one for a sporting life. Up bright and early every morning, Stoney shar¬ ed his interests equally between dorm clean¬ up and Out Scouts. Out of hand, this year Stoney found a real pearl ' . He was the 26th guy to sign for a dance ticket to the Winter Carnival. DAVID PURDY: Baby-Face Budd, the quintes- cence of innocence, made it into the Pre¬ fects ' Club this year. Dave took up several new interests, among them, football and girls. As a result of the latter, he has plans for going to McGill. One of the History boys, Rundy conducted a tour of Los Angeles dur¬ ing the Easter holidays, showing his com¬ panions true meat-market country. The ugly American is another brogue man, and plays a wicked game of basketball. He ' ll have to remember to watch himself near the end of term when the Yanqui posters go up in Hamber Hall. A patriotic man, the Stars and Stripes hang over his bed and . . . calm down Dave . . . we wish him the best in Commerce. 14

C7L tain CRAIG LAMB: Klaig Harris was Rice-Captain of the School this year. Despite several faults, such as being a back-seat driver, he did an excellent job upstaging Captain Vere and Billy Budd in the play. He also acted in the official capacity of Senior Prefect. We all agree that there wasn’t a better type-cast person in the play, too. Honourable Claggart was a lieutenant in Cadets, a star on the football field and the hockey rink, and it looks like it is going to be a good Track and Field season for him. The whole form thinks the WORLD of Craig, and we wouldn’t lose his friendship for all the tea in China. In his weaker moments, he could be found shooting pool with Fox, or resting on his bed. An avid practiser of Confucianism, Craig plans to take Civil Engineering next year at University. Sayonara and good luck. RANDY ARNETT: Fra Lippo Lippi the Monk decided to shun the fairer sex, and get down to work this year. Unfortun¬ ately for his Physics mark, they wouldn’t leave him alone, and B.C. Interior Affairs became his favorite subject. Rand was a senior prefect and most afternoons could be seen strapping on his Dunlop No. 12’s for Basketball. He was also noted for his footloose running in football. On weekends our banjo-plu cking hustler raunched a hot six Monza, but sometimes found time for sports between oil changes. Free of the knife of Pete-the- Greene, Arny found time to love his dorm-mate and ditched his white cane award. Randy really does like his SS dorm-mate even though he bothers him, and we know that our favorite genius will do well next year in Engineering. “While the grass grows, Randy mows” and “He weeps for what is done.” BILL EVERETT: William Joxer Collins was a senior prefect this year. Chokecherry was a super-star in football and hockey, never missing a chance to materialize on a scoring opportunity. Seldom found with the same car twice in one week, Ev lead the Common Room through many hours of laughs. Playing the second most important role of the mess deck, Bill could usually be found laughing it up with Byron in his more serious moments. Often heard about midnig ht on the Third Floor: “Ouch! Leggo! I give, I give! Aw, c’mon. Mee-thews!” Bill was a captain in Cadets, plans to take Commerce next year “because everyone else is”. Cherry is good clay for a University man and we wish him luck “He was a man, take him for all in all.” 13

7 orm PHILIP DODD: Phil played O ' Daniel in Billy Budd, stealing the show whenever he said his lines. He played Soccer at Right Guard (or whatever it was). Phil was 21 C in Cadets as well as Chief Organizer of the Winter Carnival. Taking his place behind a wheel this year in a Rambler, Phil found his true- love there, although at times, it didn ' t look as if things would pam out. Protecting himself from his playoff form-mates with his Defend-O, he managed to last the year, and we wish him the best of luck in Chemical Engineering. ROSS CAINE: Rosie again took charge of the bookworm club — house common room; sel¬ dom found not breaking up fights, Ross tool¬ ed around in a mean Wildcat. He dazzled the Commerce orientation group with his long- hidden and real classy wardrobe. BYRON DART: Almost learning the difference between black and white the hard way on his Xmas trip to Florida, By added light to the form this year (Zippo). Wheeling a good condition ' 53 Chev or Pontiac, Byron could often be seen, books in arm, blazing a path across the Red in mid-winter. Not sure of his future occupation, we wish our Ear Falls ex¬ port the best of luck. NOEil- EVOY: Rosie s left-hand man and official bouncer of the library, Noel con¬ centrated on his Academics this year and quietly let sports slip by the board. Keeping the back of the room under control at all times, was it Noel whom we heard saying all the time: “This is wise. 1 ’? TERRY FOLINSBEE: King Flea, ruler of Gra¬ ham s dorm, really showed us his stuff this year. Rising to the top of his class our Ein¬ stein cruised through Physics and Maths, with 90’s, and never turned on the sweat at exam-time. Seriously, though, Terry takes a great interest in things Mathematical and Scientific, and we know that he has a success¬ ful life ahead of him. Terry took up cards this year, and between fencing with Jack and theorizing out elementary relativity, he found time to sleep in the afternoons. 15
