LAKEHEAD TECHNICAL INSTITUTE YEAR BOOK STUDENT ' S ADMINISTRATIVE COUNCIL President ' s Message . . . E are suddenly finding ourselves out of childhood and being accepted and treated as responsible young men and women. In fact, we are now on our own road to success or failure. Honest endeavour will find success (but however honest, lazi- ness can only bring failure). This first year of university training is an embarkation point leading the student on into his chosen field of business. The embryo engineer who walks thru this door, pushes vigorously, thinking of the stresses set up in the hinges and pondering over the possibility of some day having all doors open automatically. The mining student feels the steel of the door knob and wonders what kind of ore the iron was extracted from; the forester examines the grain in the wooden frame and the arts student ambles in thinking of how the modern world is getting too specialized. The L.T.I, at the Lakehead has provided the opportunity for all high school graduates to at least make an attempt at university education without risking much more than a year of their time. We students truly appreciate the sincere efforts of those citizens in our community who have furthered the development of this Institute to its present well organized and efficient condition. We are also indebted to those men who sacrificed their own professional iime to act as part-time lecturers here at the L.T.I, for the throng of seemingly bcied and ungrateful classrooms full of our philosophers. The entire staff holds our admiration. Since I am an engineering pundit I am reminded finally of the many things we ' ve learned since registration, but the hardest thing I think I ' ve learned is how to open a beer bottle with a quarter. My thanks veer to the Year Book Committee for publishing my thoughts and good luck to the reader of this salutary edition. —HENRY TUISKU. — 9 —

LAKEHEAD TECHNICAL INSTITUTE YEAR BOOK EDITORIAL S we of The Lakehead Technical Institute present this, the third volume of our Year Book, we look with pride upon our accom- plishments, and we are deeply grateful for the generous assistance which the committee has received. A few months ago none of us thought ourselves capable of producing such a book, and we certainly didn ' t realize the time and thought necessary to complete it. Now we can be thankful for the experience gained and for the final result, which we will keep as a lasting memorandum of our months at the Lakehead Tech. At this time, I would like to thank Mr. Barnett for his invaluable assistance and advice, Mr. Morton for the splendid pictures of the students, Paul LeMay for the pictures of our various events, all the members of the Year Book Staff who have made this production possible, our advisors, and anyone else who through his time or talent has helped us reach success. We have seen another successful year roll by at L.T.I. This year gave us hope that the name of the school will soon be changed to The Lakehead College of Arts and Sciences — another step toward the establishment of a full-fledged Junior University in Northern Ontario. We realize the advantages of such a school as ours, and we appreciate the fact that we have camps and facilities at close range to give practical experience to the Forestry and Mining faculties. We know our Engineers and Arts students are in most capable hands and we feel sure they will carry into their chosen university the high standard of achievement set by our former graduates. Another important branch of our service is the accommodation of Public School Teachers who wish to obtain credits toward their Permanent Teaching Certificates. There is a great future for a university at the Lakehead, and in the years to come, we can feel proud that we carried our Canadian pioneering spirit into a field that is advantageous and necessary for all democracies in a time of world crisis. We hold great hope and faith in our leaders, and we are thankful that a small part of our lives has come under the influence of them. —RUTH NATTRESS.
