7 orvn JIM NEAL: Jim made himself noticed at Chem classes and was Mr. Gorrie ' s famed Jimmy. ' His black subject is Physics, but if he works at it, he will pass. He was known to associate with a well-known St. Paul ' s swinger; we expect to see him back next year although he is becoming a Day Boy in Third Term. BOB PILBROW: Our late¬ comer had a grim start, but he soon was inspired by his Lit. classes. Pill spent most of his time getting books from his dorm, and reading Lurch ' s mail, but he also did some History notes. Pretzel will soon be mov¬ ing to Winnipeg from Re¬ gina, lucky boy. ELLIOT RODGER: A rather reserved member of the Vth, Elliot was a good friend of Fitzjohn and Glasgow. Fun¬ gus had an egg thrown at him, and didn ' t like it. Strawberry also worked on the Billy Budd sets. JOHN NANSON: Flash was seldom seen without a ca¬ mera in hand. John did the Yearbook photographs, commuting on the odd field trip between class and the Darkroom. A favorite of the masters, he played senior football and was respon¬ sible for many unusual shots. DAVID NICHOLS: David B’ broke all records sprinting for home, because, quote the atmosphere ' s better.” Mozart will soon turn pro, but he ' s waiting for the right moment to say Yes” to one of the many agents asking for his services. Keep up the good work Dave. IAN RANKIN: Ian is a rod¬ der of epic proportions, who occasionally relaxes by driv¬ ing from the back seat. Stilt played senior soccer, high-jumped after a fa¬ shion, and loped about in the Cross-Country. He also managed to keep the mas¬ ters on their toes with many alert and pertinent ques¬ tions. PETER SCHLUDERMAN: An¬ other Volkswagen man, Sludge also took time out to be Lurch ' s stiffest rival on the ski-slopes. Pete play¬ ed senior soccer and senior House soccer, ran in the Cross-Country races, and partook in many Track and Field activities. Super-ski and Lurch regularly cleaned out the silverware at skiing competitions. 23

IAN MALCOLMSON: The on¬ ly person who has a five o ' clock shadow at eight in the morning. No Beard was revealed as a 009 man by Mr. Waudby during a Maths exam. A good skier, Ian ' s only trouble was getting all wrapped up in himself. He also played senior soccer. raavtates MUIR MEREDITH: Guano warmed the bench in many sports, such as basketball and football. Spit-kit was the black eye of Billy Budd, and played volleyball. Moo received many scars while dragging the megaphone from the showers. He had a very Mary summer, prefers Alberta licenses although he now lives in Winnipeg. BOB McCASKILL: Dawson Creek ' s major contribution to the world, Mow always had his blades sharpened. Flap¬ per played Bantam foot¬ ball, was the star of both senior and intermediate basketball teams, and was beaten up in Billy Budd. Our happy Bunny could usu¬ ally be found crawling around the rafters, or visit¬ ing the ice-box, and he also helped with many write¬ ups. MACDONALD, JIM: J i m grows in the elite Form V dorm, and loves Physics and Cribbage. Jim organised the intramural volleyball, and frequented the poolroom. Red was on the Advertising staff, and when he wasn ' t at Tuxedo Billiards, he sup¬ plied Thompson House with ca rds. DAVID McBEATH: Meg play¬ ed football and hockey, and was heard braking down the hall every day. Mono was a member of the elite dorm, and had an affinity for ditches when Nancy was near. Reverb quotes car specs, in his sleep, and does power shifts daily be¬ tween Thompson House and Hamber Hall. JOHN McCALL: Tex evaded most school activities, but not Midge and skiing which sometimes seemed to go together. John seemed to forget Out Scouts as well as assignments, and was an¬ other bus-race competitor. He hails from Tuxedo, but thinks Metro ' s best. DOUG MACDONALD: Louie was kept busy running the hockey shop, but also man¬ aged to spend a little time revising the English lan¬ guage. Doug comes from Kitimat, where the lumber¬ jacks live, and where they make almimuninaminum. Lou played a great season of intermediate basketball, which he also tried to re¬ vise. 22

PAUL SCHMIDT: A high- ranking member of the briefcase brigade, Butterball could usually be seen roll¬ ing home soon after 3:15. Paul played senior soccer and took an interest in rep¬ tile life. Why are the ham¬ burgers at the Salisbury House so terrible during the summer, Paul? AARON SCHWARTZ: Cap¬ tain Vere was a busy man this year, taking time off from being at the top of the class to make a television appearance, steward the buses, and make Billy Budd a success. Aaron also play¬ ed soccer and looked after the Chem. Lab. ROBERT STOVEL: Super-Shuf¬ fler excelled at the card- table, proving that he had talent in something else be¬ sides Badminton and Chem. Bob thought he had a hot car, but Arny disproved this. Practise, Bob, soon you will perfect the shuffle from the bottom. Good luck. GARRY TOY: Garry played football and basketball this year, and struggled through Physics, at the same time beating off such attackers as Nanson and Brooks. However, in revenge, John produced a secret weapon, and Garry was flooded out. PAUL TRUELOVE: Handsome Paul played a little soccer this year, and carried his briefcase around. A St. Vital MAN, Paul ' s enthusiasm brought him to school early each morning. Noted for his shuffle, he managed to stay close to the top of the class. DAVID WATTAM: Ookpik, our Eskimo ambassador, was a full-fledged” mem¬ ber of the Butter ' s Club. A pool shark and a football star, (words cannot describe his talent) he hibernated during the winter, often let¬ ting Wilson sweep. We ex¬ pect Slim to rumble along, setting new Track records this Spring. BOB WEIR: Bob did a great job on the football team as center, and also proved himself useful at defense in sr. hockey. Cicero (snort!) tucked away much at lunch, and was Pipe-Major in Ca¬ dets. Good luck next ' year at Carleton. PAUL WILSON: Yank s ath¬ letic activities were limited by an injured back, but he played a good season of Intermediate bas¬ ketball. Paul ' s romantic in¬ terests centered around the barnyard, but he ' s still try¬ ing. The international com¬ muter hails from the well- known metropolis of New Town, N.D. Taking on the responsibility of Editor next year, we know that Willy is equal to the task. 24
