LAKEHEAD TECHNICAL INSTITUTE YEAR BOOK KARL — Continued At least once a day Karl made me laugh. Just listening to his deep rum- bling giggle interspersed with husky staccato statements as he conversed with the others brought a twinkle into the bluest of Mondays. I discovered once during the singing of God sees the little sparrow fall that Karl thought the second line was Its meat was tender, too, Karl could be relied upon to misinterpret many ideas. He was quick and very eager to expound his theories. One day, as he stood beside me reading, he nudged my bosom with his elbow and informed me confidentially that his mother had some of those, too. Karl was a bully and a coward. His victims were the kindergarten children. I assigned to him the very important job of holding open the door for the kindergarten class and then following behind to see that no one both- ered them. No royalty guarded by squadrons of policemen were better look- ed after than those youngsters protected by Karl. Later I worried about Karl. True, I knew he could go downstairs like the others now; that he had learned to use his handkerchief, but what else had he learned? Was it enough to overcome his poor homelife and to lead him to a glimpse of a better life? These questions troubled me as I watched him shuffle out on the last day of school. He turned and smiled and disap- peared down the stairs. When a student receives his graduation certificate from the Lakehead Technical Institute, many doors of opportunity are opened to him. The staff and students at the Institute follow with interest the achievements of the alumni. Below is a list of the graduates of the second and third sessions, and where they are this year. — E. H.

LAKEHEAD TECHNICAL INSTITUTE YEAR BOOK Proposed Lakehead Technical Institute, Architect ' s View Plans for Future Expansion The Lakehead Technical Institute is now in its third year of service to students desiring to become trained technicians in the forestry and mining industries, or who wish to take first year university instruction in Arts, Applied Science, Commerce or Forestry. In order to have the Institute established, a temporary (building was erected in 1948, to be used until such time as enrolment justified larger, permanent buildings. The present quarters have been enlarged once and do not lend themselves to further expansion. However, permanent buildings with facilities for sports and other extra- curricular activities as well as classroom and administration quarters cannot be planned until the finances necessary for construction are available. A substantial portion of the cost of these new buildings must come from local contributions. The Advisory Board of the Institute is at present arranging for the necessary funds. A site comprising some eighty acres, located between the two cities of Port Arthur and Fort William, has been chosen as the location of the new school. The building committee of the Advisory Board is hopeful that, when building conditions become more stable, it will be able to erect permanent buildings which Will be both attractive to the student body and a credit to the Lakehead cities. A. V. CHAPMAN, ' Chairman, Advisory Board. 15
