RAVEN '53 5 ARTS SIRRS, Robert Douglas: Bob came to Carleton from Buenos Aires, of all places. He was born in Toronto, attended Pickering College in Newmarket, and then hiked off to the Argentine. He's got his degree with majors in Political Science, Economics, and Geography. He has participated in track work, the band, and takes an interest in tennis, sailing, skiing, and photography. TINGLEY, Ioan: Little but mighty, Ting, as president of the Hleodor Society, was the spark plug of the girls activities this year. Ting, who hails from Sackville, N. B., is off to India this summer in hopes of picking up some experience for the days when she is a employee of External Affairs. Starting out to get a B. I. Ting ends up taking away a B. A. and a host of friends from Parliament Hill where she was frequently to be found at noon hour sessions in the Hill canteen. SMITH, Shirley: Shirley calls Ottawa her home and is a graduate of Elmwood High School. She played badminton and basketball for Carleton and when not working on her English, French or Psychology she dabbles in painting. WALKER, Bert: The champion of Carleton, in ping-pong anyway, is leaving the hallowed walls of the college only to come back next year in the form of a night student so that he can add one more degree to the end of his name. Our guess is that he will probably be seen wheeling a baby carriage more often than the books. As a student councillor Bert added much to the lively discussions which were the features of Wednesday afternoons in the council office. STEERS, Helen: Helen came to Carleton from Lisgar to major in French and German. While here she was active in the Sock and Buskin and the French Club. WALSH, Norman: Norm was the president of the Sock and Buskins this year, and one of his major accomplishments at Carleton was the author- ing of the Buskinites entry in the Drama Festival. He also wrote a weekly column for The Carleton that was received with deepest thanks by the hard working editors. Norm comes from New Liskeard, Ont., and spent some time at U of T before seeing the light and coming to Carleton. -13-

ARTS --ee A ee NEILSON, lohn A.: Iohn's home town is Carleton Place... grad of Nepean High School. He came here to major in Economics and Political Science. Iohn played basketball here and collects records for a hobby. ROBINSON, Kenneth: Ken lists his favourite saying in his biographical sketch as the higher the fewer . We can't figure it out, but the rest of the material is straight forward. He comes from Russell, Ont., and will pick up a general B. A. from Carleton. He is an active member in the S.C.M., and lists his hobbies as music, sports, and taxidermy. NOONAN, Victor H.: Vic's home town is Montreal. He split his high school days between Montreal High and High School of Commerce. He is a member of the U.N.T.D. and collects records as a hobby. ROSS, Verna: PHEEDOM, Donna Mae: Donna is one of those quiet girls who picks up her degree with the minimum of fuss and bother. She specialized in English, French, and Psychology. She calls Cumberland, Ontario, her home town. RUTHEBFORD, Christine: Christine is a multi-talented girl. A Glebe grad who has buried herself in history books to get a major in it also plays a mean ukelele. When excited she is liable to blurt forth a most disconcerting favourite expression, Ieeze Louise . In line with these activities it is only natural that Christine took part in sports and was an active member of the Ten O'Clock Club. -17- RAVEN '53

HONOURS -ms RAVEN '53 ARMSTRONG, Alberta: Berta's fame has not spread as it should because most of her constructive activities have been behind the scenes. How many know that she is indispensable to any Sock and Buskin production as costume designer, wardrobe mistress and handy-girl? Also enlivens English classes by declaiming against neo-classicism and avowing that art never progresses objectively. ls a champion swim- mer and has been a decorative addition at Banff these past many summers. SKINNER, Beverley G.: Bev is not only a brilliant English student, but also the school's champion gloom-dispeller and a pintsized ball of fire in the Sock and Buskin Club. Won the Pat Hannan trophy for a truly memorable performance as Mrs. Hard- castle in She Stoops to Conquer this year. Also spent time at Carleton swimming, helping run the Hleodors and escaping to her private Paradise up the Gatineau. Ambitions, un- decided, especially since she is passionately in love with Carleton College and Carleton with her. HERWIG, Marjorie K.: Thoroughly grounded in the very best in English literature, she's one of those rare souls who can speak in quotations without sounding affected. Marjorie is also one mighty fine actress. Climaxed a brilliant college stage career by winning the Best Actress award at the Drama Festival this year, as the grand- mother in The Fallen . Also active in the French Club and an ardent Liberal. STEVENS, Richard: Richard is a complex and fascinating hybrid of Groucho Marx, Stephen Dedalus and The Man Who Came to Dinner and, as you may have guessed, Carleton's only legitimate genius-a genius who also spends much time leering lovingly at all more-so torsos. Has spent four years at Carleton tossing off bon-mots, making like a dramatic critic and performing for the Sock and Buskins. Plans postgrad work at Cttawa U next year in English. LANDEY, Marcel: The most cosmopolitan of Carleton gradu- ates. Born in Zurich, Switzerland. High school in Cracow, Poland and University at Warsaw. Next a degree in textile engineering from France. Spent 4l-46 in the Polish Army and came to Carleton in '49 to get his degree in Honors Economics. Goes to Princeton next year to do Graduate work in Economics, under the Helen Lee Wessel Fellowship.
