We of t he staff have watched your progress through the Lakehead Technical Institute with keen interest. Now as you go out to join our growing group of Graduates we look forward to your con- tinued success. Graduates in both the Technical and University Divisions are making an enviable reputation. Now the challenge is yours. Graduation is only the first hurdle. There will be many more ahead. Approach them with the same confidence and enthusiasm that you have displayed at the Lakehead Technical Institute. Canada is a land of unlimited opportunity for you who graduate in 1953. Let us not forget, how- ever, that the Canadian way of life stands for something more than abundant natural resources, automobiles and automatic washing machines. Canada is a land of liberty. Lord Acton said that there is one constant in history: the idea of liberty. But this liberty involves far more than the rights of man or the pursuit of happiness. Indeed, said Acton, if happiness is the end of Society, then liberty is superfluous . . . Liberty is not the power of doing what we like, but the right of being able to do what we ought. Let us all accept the full responsibilities of Canadian citizenship. The growth of our country depends on what we are ready to do to-morrow. HAROLD S. BRAUN, Principal. LAKEHEAD TECHNICAL INSTITUTE YEAR BOOK MESSAGE FROM THE ADVISORY BOARD The Lctkehead Technical Institute is now in its fifth year. Many students have been graduated in Technical Mining and Technical Forestry. Several others have completed the first-year university course in Applied Science, Forestry, Arts, and Commerce. Besides this, many short courses have been given in special subjects and trades. Those who have graduated in Technical Mining and Technical Forestry are nearly all pursuing their chosen calling in their respective fields and reports from the industries indicate that they are a credit to the Institute. Those who have gone ahead to various universities have done well in the courses they have chosen. Part of their success at least is due to the sound training they received at the Lakehead Technical Institute. All this would seem to indicate that our school is now beyond the trial period — it has proven its worth. It remains for us to decide where we are going to go from here. The Lakehead Technical Institute can be the forerunner of a junior col- lege at the Lakehead and a junior college in turn can be the forerunner of a university. People who believe that Northwestern Ontario will continue to grow in population, industry and wealth feel that with proper support and wise planning such an objective can be reached in the not-too-distant future. The present quarters of the school and its location do not lend them- selves to expansion nor for use as a junior college. A start must be made on the new school, on the inter-city site to which it holds title. Architects plans are now being submitted to the Department of Education for approval. Every effort is being made to get this project under way. It can be said that future opportunities in this District for our young citizens depends on the success of this effort. P. V. LeMAY, Chairman, Advisory Board. — 4 — LAKEHEAD TECHNICAL INSTITUTE YEAR BOOK It was my honour to fill the position of President of the Student ' s Administrative Council at the beginning oi the second term. I wish first to acknowledge the able direction given by our former president, Bob Saxberg, and to wish him the best of luck. The Students ' Administrative Council tried to present an adequate . social programme to a very lively student body this year. The Council and I wish to thank you very much for your co-operation. We also wish to thank Mr. Ross, the staff advisor, and Mr. Braun, the Principal, for their advice and assistance. The Year Book Committee, under the guidance of Editor Shizuye Togawa, and the Athletic Association, directed by President George Miller, also deserve con- gratulations for their admirably performed tasks. The most interesting fact regarding this year ' s enrolment at the Lakehead Technical Institute is that more students are in Applied Science than in any other faculty. The need for more engineers and technicians has been apparent for some time in Canada ' s growing industrial system. Most of the reason for this interest in Applied Science are economic: the vastness and proximity of natural resources, the existence of a ready market for goods in America and Europs, and the need for defensive armament against an unmistakably bright-hued enemy. Never before has democracy depended so much on the abundance of material goods. Our chief concern today is security. We have urged on our industrial expansion in the hope it will save us from an economic downfall and from direct aggression. We have set aside the humanities as being too impractical to cope with the present world fears. Once the nations are at peace again, we may return to the humanities as offering a rational approach for our scientific achievements. No more dubious scientific triumphs like guns and atom bombs! We agree with Mr. H. G. Wells: But if the dangers, confusions, and disasters that crowd upon men in these days are enormous beyond any experience of the past, it is because science has brought him such powers as he never had before. And the scientific method of fearless thought, exhaustively lucid statement, and exhaustively criticized planning, which has given him these as yet uncontrollable powers, gives him also the hope of controlling these powers. ■ — KEN A.

M. Ross — 6 — LAKEHEAD TECHNICAL INSTITUTE YEAR BOOK EDITORIAL After months of dreaming and planning and the hectic last-minute alterations, the 1953 edition of the Lakehead Technical Institute Year Book has finally come through with flying colours. All that has been accomplished has been achieved through the co-operative efforts of the Year Book staff and all those who contributed material to the magazine. The advertising staff once again with its terrific drive saved us from financial embarrassment. I would like to thank them all, and especially, Mr. Ross, who, although often busy, woul i alway; have a few minutes to spare ear or a hand when we met with dif- ficulties. It has been suggested that our Year Book be given a definite name, a proposal which the Year Book staff considered worth contemplating with all seriousness. A name chosen wisely and with care will do much to enhance such a fine book as the one we have. Feeling that a matter of such importance should not be dealt with in undue haste, the Year Book staff have decided to retain the present name for this volume. Perhaps at this time next year we shall see this chronicle bearing a new name, a name we can be proud of, a name worthy of this book. So from now until that time, keep thinking about it! The year 1953 will long be remembered by the entire world as being unusually eventful. The world held its breath as the final figures were announced, confirming the victory of General Eisenhower in the United States Presidential election campaign . There is much sorrow in our war-threatened world today and only when it comes on with such shocking unexpectedness as the recent floods and hurricanes in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Belgium are we all aware of the misery involved. The loss of life and property alone speak of the nations ' plight. It is a pity that a catastrophe such as this occurred as Great Britain is preparing for the Coronation in June of this year. Yes, 1953 will not be quickly forgotten, for the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II will be one of this century ' s spectacular social functions. As each of us goes his separate way, some to university, others to posi- tions of responsibility in the industrial field, the Year Book will serve to bring us together, wherever we may be, by recalling to us the happy moments we shared in the short time we spent at the Lakehead Technical Institute. -SHIZUYE TOGAWA. — 7 — LAKEHEAD TECHNICAL INSTITUTE YEAR BOOK YEAR BOOK STAFF EDITOR SHIZUYE TOGAWA ASSISTANT EDITOR GEORGE HOHOL BUSINESS MANAGER LAWRENCE LOS ACCOUNTANT WALTER ARBUCKLE LITERARY EDITOR DIANE BANKS PORTRAITS SOCIAL EDITOR NADEEN GILCHRIST SPORTS EDITOR COLIN ASHTON PHOTOGRAPHY EDITOR YOSH TATEBE STAFF ADVISOR MR.

We would like to express our sincere thanks to him for this essay. — EDITOR. ©ngin of port Brtbur OLLOWING upon the Union of Upper and Lower Canada in 1841, the Canadian Government, representing the Union of Ontario and Quebec, taking an example from the people of the United States, began to think in terms of Western expansion, having in view the purchasing of the rights of the Hudson ' s Bay Company in Rupert ' s Land, which extended from Fort William to the Rocky Mountains. The first important event during that period of our local history was the purchasing by treaty of all the Ojibway lands from the various bands ex- tending from Batchewanaug Bay, near Sault Ste. Marie, to Pigeon River and extending Northward to the height of land. This very important treaty, which was signed by the representatives of the Crown and the accredited Chieftains from the various bands of Ojibways, was duly signed at Sault Ste. Marie on the 7th day of September, 1850, is known as the Robinson- Superior Treaty. According to some stipulations of that Treaty, a number of blocks of lands were set aside as reserves for the Ojibways. This Treaty was brought about possibly earlier than anticipated on account of the great mining boom along both shores of Lake Superior which had began in 1841 along the Southshore and finally extended to the North side of the Lake on Canadian territory. During the seasons of 1845 and 1846, no less than one hundred and thirty locations had been staked. These particular locations were two miles in frontage by five miles in depth. It can readily be seen that a good part of the North shore of Lake Superior was claimed by prospectors. Only 27 of these mining claims were made good. The others were allowed to lapse. The government of the day had yet no right to the land since it had not been purchased by agreement from the Ojibways until 1850. After that date, upon the completion of the agreement, all the Ojibway lands bordering on the North shore of Lake Superior, became the property of the Crown, to be known as Crown Lands. They were administered by departments known as those of Lands, Forests and Mines. The year 1957 will mark the anniversary of the most important event in the history of Port Arthur. It will be the centennial of its founding. It was, in fact, in 1857 that a townsite consisting of 534 acres was carved out of virgin forests, surveyed into lots and sold by auction. Robert McVicar, who had seen distinguished service with the Hudson ' s Bay Company in the Northwest Territory, was appointed Crown Lands Agent. He became the first permanent white settler to set foot in what is now the City of Port Arthur. His modest log-house and office was located at the intersection of Arthur and Cumberland Streets. In time these lots were tak en up by new settlers but evidently there was no rush to establish the new settlement, since by 1870 the total popula- tion only represented 200 inhabitants. Robert McVicar acquired considerable property adjoining the townsite, and his descendants at a later date were the largest owners of real estate property in and about the young town of Port Arthur. McVicar Creek and McVicar Street were named after him. — 21 — LAKEHEAD TECHNICAL INSTITUTE YEAR BOOK ORIGIN OF PORT ARTHUR — (Continued) Coinciding with the opening of the new townsite, an event of national importance since it was the first independent settlement to have been estab- lished west of Sault Ste. Marie, S. J. Dawson, a civil engineer who had previously been connected with the Canadian Government in some important public works in the St. Lawrence Valley was now appointed to make a survey of a possible wagon and water route which could be established between the infant settlement of the Lakehead and the Red River Colony, the latter still under the control of the paternalistic rule of the Hudson ' s Bay Company. After considering alternate routes, Dawson finally recommended a wagon road to Lake Shebandowan, thence pretty much over the old Canadian canoe route to the West end of Lake of the Woods and thence from the Northwestern angle another wagon route to the Red River settlements. By 1867 Confederation of the Canadian provinces became an accom- plished fact and negotiations were immediately opened up in London, Eng- land, for the purchase of all the rights of the Hudson ' s Bay Company in Rupert ' s Land, which extended then from the mouth of the Kaministiquia River to the Rocky Mountains. S. J. Dawson was then instructed to go ahead with his project of linking the East with the West with his wagon and water- way highway, which became known as the Dawson Route. Negotiations having been successfully carried out in London by two Canadian representatives and the Committee of the Hudson ' s Bay Company for the transfer of all their rights the Canadian Government was therefore ready to assume authority over the Northwest Territory. Unfortunately, just as they were ready to do so, the Red River Valley was plagued with a re- occurring grasshopper migration which, like the locusts of Biblical days as recorded in Genesis, darkened the sky and covered the land, destroying everything as they went along. To assist the Red River Colony the Cana- dian Government decided to rush along the construction, particularly at the far end of the Dawson Route in order to offer some relief by creating work for the Red River inhabitants. The construction from the Northwest angle on the Lake of the Woods to the Red River Valley or Fort Garry went on merrily during the summer of 1869. Paradoxical as this may seem to students of history this relief measure undertaken by the Canadian Government with the best of intentions was one of the causes that led to the Red River insurrection in 1869. It was not the sole cause of the trouble, but certainly one of them, if not the most serious one. It thus became necessary for the Canadian authorities to restore order along the banks of the Red River in the newly-formed Province of Manitoba and the Government did act with resolution and despatch. Colonel Garnet Joseph Wolseley, afterwards Lord Wolseley, who was serving as a com- manding officer in the Canadian militia in Eastern Canada, was appointed in charge of the Expedition to Fort Garry, and arrived here with his officers and soldiers in the early summer of 1870. A fellow-passenger on board the steamer Chicora was Thomas Marks, the pioneer merchant of Port Arthur, with whom Colonel Wolseley must have found a great deal in common on the trip across Lake Superior. As they were disembarking from the steamer, Colonel Wolseley asked Mr. Marks the name of the place. Upon being told that it was called The Station, Wolseley stated, Let ' s name it ' Prince Arthur ' s Landing ' after Prince Arthur of Connaught. The young Prince was then in Eastern Canada. — 22 — LAKEHEAD TECHNICAL INSTITUTE YEAR BOOK ORIGIN OF PORT ARTHUR— (Continued) Having restored law and order in the new Western Province of Manitoba the Canadian Government then turned its attention to railway construction, the beginning of which was made from West Fort Wililam in the early sum- mer of 1875 as a Canadian enterprise. In 1881 this Government owned section was taken over by the Canadian Pacific Railway. By 1886 Canada was now linked by rail from the Atlantic to the Pacific, an achievement un- heard of in railway construction up to that time. Considering that the popu- lation of Canada barely exceeded 4,000,000 inhabitants it did show vision, enterprise and resolution on the part of both the Government of the day and the directors of the Canadian Pacific Railway. The young town of Prince Arthur ' s Landing had by this time gone through a great deal of expansion, including one silver mining boom in the early ' 70 ' s and entering upon a second silver mining boom which began in 1882 and lasted pretty much until 1888. Coupled with the construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway Port Arthur became a town of great importance. In a booklet prepared by the Canadian Pacific Railway at that period the town of Port Arthur was referred to as The Silver Gateway. It will be of interest to the readers of this article to learn how the name came to be changed from Prince Arthur ' s Landing to Port Arthur. It became evident during the early C.P.R. construction of the North Shore Line that Prince Arthur ' s Landing was no longer suitable as a name for the terminus of the first trans-continental Railway. A number of names were then brought to the attention of our town fathers for their consideration, such as Port Royal, Ogama, Bayport, Shuniah, Prince Arthur, Algoma, Rock- ford, etc. If the town fathers were slow in making up their minds as to the proper name for this terminus, William Van Home, then general manager of the Pacific Railway, noted for his quick decisions, decided upon the name of Port Arthur, which appeared on their station, located on the property now occupied by the city car barn, between Van Home and Wolseley Street. A year later in 1884 the name of the post office was also changed to that of Port Arthur and when the town was incorporated in May of the same year it also adopted the same name. Explanations for the change to Port Arthur from Prince Arthur ' s Landing, as decided upon by the authority of the Canadian Pacific Railway, has been recorded by the Sentinel, the leading Lakehead newspaper of the time and repeated in the Port Arthur Illustrated, published in May 1889. It was supposed to be partly as a companion to Port Moody, the Pacific terminus, and a compliment to Prince Arthur and partly for President Chester Alan Arthur, then President of the United States and rather popular with the Canadian people. He used to spend his summer vacations in Canada. He was actually the first President to manifest any interest in Canadian affairs and a deep affection for the Canadian people. It is doubtful if any other city on the continent can claim to have been named after two such historical figures, Arthur, Duke of Connaught, the 7th child of Queen Victoria became a Field Marshall in the Imperial Army. In time he was appointed Governor-General of Canada. President Chester Alan Arthur, a man of very great charm, possessed of a fine physique, did make his contribution towards better understanding between the American and Canadian people. It is to be hoped that our City Fathers will take full cognizance of the centennial of our city in 1957 and in co-operation with our schools, our churches, our Historical Society, our Chamber of Commerce and our Service Clubs organize a celebration which will be worthy of the event. —J.

The judges found it extremely difficult to pick out the winner from the six essays entered. John Byrka ' s entry deserves honourable mention, and consequently appears following the prize-winning compositions. — EDITOR. The Lake Superior Country jL % VISITOR from the staid East does not appreciate the beauty of the Lake Superior country as he travels mile after mile through the thick bush, along the stony lake shore or past the unending muskeg swamps. Perhaps he cannot be blamed. He has never seen the sun rising over the Sleeping Giant, casting red streamers over the dreaming land and over the tidy tiers of houses stretching up the hill side. He has never seen the moon rising over the black water like a golden ladle, trailing behind its silvery handle of newly-washed stars, nor has he heard the restless waves hurrying shore- ward to inquire the meaning of the driftwood bonfires built on the warm sand. As the visitor travels along the north shore, he forgets that this is the same route that the first Indians travelled as they hunted along the ancient sea coast from Manitoulin Island, their centre of culture. He cannot imagine bronzed Indians worshipping their fire god, with their copper bracelets gleam- ing dully against the dark backdrop of the forest in the small glade where now a solitary moose munching waterlilies bawls defiantly in the autumn night. — 25 — LAKEHEAD TECHNICAL INSTITUTE YEAR BOOK THE LAKE SUPERIOR COUNTRY — (Continued) The first visitors to this country — Radisson, La Verendrye, and DuLhut — came in search of furs. The coureurs de bois went westward portaging around Kakabeka Falls from whence the mist maiden still arises, up the broad Kaministiquia and over difficult bush trails ever in search of the beaver. In the keen morning air when the grey mist seemed a mysterious being ready to devour the unwary intruder and the only sound was the insane laugh of the loon, even the intrepid spirit of the brandy trader was quelled and voyageurs huddled closer together. Beaver hats have long since lost their popularity and since milady prefers mink it is mink the trapper must hunt. Centuries after the original Indians had emigrated, white men built a new settlement on Thunder Bay in search of mineral wealth. Mining men from all countries flocked to a tiny island at the foot of the Sleeping Giant, where an incredibly rich silver mine had been found. The Indians, who had traditional beliefs about an ancient race which had hurriedly departed and left its wealth in the care of great Nanabijou and his Thunder Bird, thought it was wrong to rob the silver treasure and when the blue waters of Thunder Bay flooded the small mine forever, they said it was the T hunder god ' s way of showing his anger and ever since have endeavoured to placate the angry deity by throwing tribute to the Sleeping Giant when crossing the bay, lest they be punished for the white man ' s impiety. The casual visitor to Port Arthur about 1900 would have noticed even then the ceaseless bustle in the restless town. He would have seen an electric streetcar butting its way along muddy Cumberland Street and would have wondered at such a small community having a means of transportation so modern as a street railway when even Toronto did not have streetcars. He would have seen the white steamers stalling into Thunder Bay and per- haps have joined the motley throng on the quay at the foot of Arthur Street. He would have heard the children playing around the horse trough outside the city market, and perhaps visited the Indian encampment just outside the town. If the visitor goes to the point of highest elevation within two miles of the lake, he can see from the huge paper mills at the north to the airport at the south. He can see below Port Arthur with its business block and houses intersected by the streets and a crazy green pattern formed by lawns and parks. Below, built on muskeg and delta, lies Fort William. At this distance all that can be seen of it is a blur of houses and Mt. McKay which forms the city ' s backdrop. Beyond the two cities is the blue gleam of lake and river, over them the blue sky and sustaining it is the proud heart of the country, sure of its destiny. —DIANE BANKS. — 26 — LAKEHEAD TECHNICAL INSTITUTE YEAR BOOK Wcnders in the Wilderness PERHAPS the most striking aspect of the Steep Rock development is the way in which man has mastered nature. When we look at the tremen- dous pit and the men and machines in it, the fact that a lake once lay in the same place seems almost impossible. Looking down from the rim, we are impressed by the contrast in size of the gigantic pit and the tiny men who made it. How they struggled against the tremendous obstacles that nature placed in their path, and won, will never cease to amaze me. Originally the course of the Seine River system lay through Steep Rock Lake. One hundred and fifty years ago the Nor ' Westers were paddling their canoe-loads of furs back and forth along this route. What would one of these lusty, carefare voyageurs have thought if he were told that some day men would operate giant machines on dry land, directly below the place where his canoe was gliding over the water? Prospectors, trappers, and vacationists found chunks of rich iron ore along the shores, but nobody knew where they came from. In 1938 Mr. Julian Cross decided to find the source of this ore. In sixty degree below zero weather he ran drills through the ice, silt, and rock until he found a body of ore. Now the problem was to get the ore out. Mr. Cross and his partner, Joseph Errington approached Mr. Donald Hogarth, a Canadian financier, and the three went to Cyrus Eaton to get American capital. Eaton put in money of his own and persuaded the Ameri- can Government that, with the Mesabi range running out of ore, and war production increasing, Steep Rock would be a good investment. The first step was to drain Steep Rock Lake. The course of the Seine River had to be changed by excavating a deep earth cut and two canals in solid rock, and by lowering the level of Finlayson Lake fifty feet. Meanwhile a line was built to bring electric power from Port Arthur. The Canadian National Railways built a spur line from Atikokan, and the Dominion Govern- LAKEHEAD TECHNICAL INSTITUTE YEAR BOOK WONDERS IN THE WILDERNESS— (Continued) ment built the ore docks in Port Arthur. Fourteen electrically driven pumps lowered the level of Steep Rock Lake by six inches daily, and the overburden of clay and silt was finally exposed. Ore production began in May, 1945. During the first season, 505,375 tons were shipped to eastern consumers. Vast quantities of earth were re- moved to enlarge the pit. Production has been stepped up, and will eventually stabilize at about three million tons annually. A very orderly, businesslike atmosphere pervades the whole project. A preventive maintenance system for all machinery cuts breakdowns and expense to a minimum. There are strictly enforced rules governing procedure in the pit and in other strategic places to minimize accident hazards. Trained personnel are working all the time to direct the mine ' s progress as efficiently as possible. Once open pit mining has been carried to a depth of six hundred feet, it is no longer feasible. High grade iron ore is now being taken out through a vertical shaft that was put down beside the B orebody. The prospects for the future are very encouraging. The sizes of the ore- bodies are not known because they extend vertically beyond the depths explored by drill. The C orebody has not yet been thoroughly explored, and geological conditions indicate the presence of other deposits. The ore docks in Port Arthur are being enlarged to accommodate this increased production. With Americans turning to low-grade ores as source of iron, and with Canada on the verge of unprecedented industrial expansion, the real signi- finan ce of Steep Rock iron is difficult to grasp. What is important to us at the Lakehead is that this potential wealth is at our back door. Who can tell what is in store for us? Maybe we will even have a steel industry at the Lakehead. Certainly the next few years will see great increases in industry and population. What was one man ' s dream yesterday may be- come bread and butter for thousands tomorrow. A very few years ago Steep Rock Lake was a wild, lonely place, seldom visited by humans. Today the iron mine makes a major contribution to the defence and economic welfare of Canada. Where once wolves slinked through the bush, trained engineers survey their accomplishments. Where once voyageurs toted their heavy packs and canoes, miners flash by in com- fortable automobiles. Where once fish swam, giant trucks trundle their twenty-two-ton loads of ore to the railway. The Steep Rock dev elopment is truly a wonder in the wilderness. —RON McKITRICK. — 28 — LAKE HEAD TECHNICAL INSTITUTE YEAR BOOK Tourists ♦ ♦ ♦ We, who live in northern Ontario, hear and read eloquent speeches made by members of our Chamber of Commerce, provincial and municipal governments concerning the large tourist traffic en- joyed by this district. When we read in our news- papers that thousands of persons and vehicles crossed the International Boundary at Pigeon River and Fort Frances to spend a vacation in northern Ontario, we realize that the tourist aids in the eco- nomic development of our district. But what does the tourist mean to us? To the retailer the tourist means an increase in sales; to the lodge operator the tourist means a no-vacancy shingle and to the local citizen the tourist means better highways and cleaner streets. We all have a share in the benefits brought by the vacationer. It is obvious that the tourist does not travel hundreds of miles to donate charitably to our welfare. He comes here to buy and if he is satisfied with his purchase, he will come again. The tourist wants to buy the privilege to fish and hunt and to enjoy the quiet leisure of a camp and the taste of good food. Nature gave this district a very generous supply of small inland lakes and wooded countryside alive with fish and game. The expansion and care of these resources was placed in our control. Our civic administrators have done commendable work to- H J s wards encouraging tourist travel in this area. The JS taxpayers ' money is used to organize city tourist - bureaus which provide visitors with road maps and IvliULlrC© helpful information about lodging and game and customs laws. The provincial government is con- Til ©1111 fributing heavily towards tourist travel by building and improving our highways. Some of the district roads are in poor condition, but we must realize that building or resurfacing a highway is a very slow and expensive project. The new asphalt sur- face on Highways 61 and 17 and the rumble of scrapers at Marathon and Atikokan is tangible evidence of consideration for the motorist. Good roads will always make the visitor want to come back, but good roads alone will not bring him back. Let Come 1 — 29 — LAKEH9AD TECHNICAL INSTITUTE YEAR BOOK The people of this district have failed to preserve the blessings that nature provided. The fish and wildlife that she gave us are rapidly becoming extinct. The Department of Lands and Forests have done much work to replenish the supply of fish by operating hatcheries in the larger lakes like Lake Sheban- dowan, but there are many accessible streams which do not support any fish life. With the exception of the wolf, game has also declined during the last few years. This loss of wildlife produces a decrease in the number of visiting sportsmen. But the immediate problems of the tourist in northern Ontario are the lack of comfortable lodges, good food and courtesy. Many of the tourist cabins in this district do not have heat and water but the rates charged to occupy such a cabin would be sufficient to obtain a comfortable hotel room in a city. Do the camp operators think they can bleed the tourist without giving something in return? The tourist who can afford a vacation is accus- tomed to having three hot meals a day, but if he is spending a weekend in a typical northern Ontario village, his digestive system must suddenly adapt itself to tasteless sandwiches served in dirty restaurants. Courtesy is a service which costs nothing to give, yet it is the rarest service in northern Ontario. Why should we cater to a tourist who is a stranger whom we may never see again? If we give the tourist the enjoyable vacation facilities which we would like ourselves, he will come back. Who will profit from these services? Bring enough tourists into this district and everyone at the Lakehead will feel the advantages of the trade which comes in their wake. —JOHN BYRKA. — 30 — LAKEHEAD TECHNICAL INSTITUTE YEAR BOOK L.T.I.

When Mr. Ross told us to catch up on our reading in our spare time, Sam de- cided to take Pilgrim ' s Progress to the Arena. It would make good reading in the penalty box. CONSTANCE HARVEY PORT ARTHUR This is Connie ' s first year in this cold northland. I ' m sure she is enjoying it. Connie receives interesting mail; she is taking philosophy by correspondence from McMaster University. Her private life re- mains a mystery. NADEEN GILCHRIST PORT ARTHUR Nadeen is the wit of the Art ' s class. She keeps us amused with her apt com- ments and her stories of what He says to me, and what I says to him. Nadeen is Secretary of the Students ' Council and Social Editor of the Year Book. She has beautiful form on the curling rink. Nadeen and Joyce intend to stick together next year as schoolmarms. — 34 — LAKEHEAD TECHNICAL INSTITUTE YEAR BOOK PAT ARMSTRONG PORT ARTHUR Pat is often seen dashing between L.T.I, and the Tech and surprisingly enough has not been late for English more than twice. The reason for these mad dashes is that Pat is preparing for her Secretarial Science course at Western when she leaves L.T.I. Lead on Petrina ' s curling team, she also wrote these per- sonals. DIANE BANKS PORT ARTHUR Under Diane ' s curls an active brain is at work. She keeps busy in her spare time collecting essays for this Year Book and enjoying the colder sports, curling and skating. Her pet aversion is those naughty boys in her Geology class. Diane will continue in Arts next year at Queen ' s. JOYCE WALNECK PORT ARTHUR Joyce brightens the school with her gay chatter and her favorite topic seems to be Hugh ! She certainly will agree that Geraldton ' s loss is Port Arthur ' s gain. Joyce works hard on the Students ' Council. She chaired the committee in charge of our formal. Good work! Joyce. Joyce plans to entertain small children next year and then resume her education at Queen ' s. Faculty of ART — 35 — LAKEHEAD TECHNICAL INSTITUTE YEAR BOOK Faculty of ART JACK SPROULE FORT WILLIAM Jack keeps the Post Office busy. He seems to be always writing, letters for Lawrence, letters to Kingston and other distant points, and English essays. He has a wonderful friend at Fort William Col- legiate. Jack has used his charm to get advertisements for the Year Book. He is another hard-working Honour Science student. He hopes to be a teacher some day. WALTER ARBUCKLE PORT ARTHUR Here is a strong, silent man. He is a good football, basketball and hockey player and he is also one of our best curlers. Walter is the Accountant for the Year Book. I wonder if he is putting into practise the wealth of knowledge he ob- tains on that subject at night school. Walter will be taking Business Administra- tion at Western next year. HUGH COUCH GERALDTON, ONT. Hugh hails from the town of Geraldton. He is Vice-President of the Students ' Council and he also curls and plays basketball for the school. Hugh claims that his fondest wish is to see Joyce tongue-tied. I wonder if he really means it? He plans some day to be called to the Bar. — 36 LAKEHEAD TECHNICAL INSTITUTE YEAR BOOK SHIZUYE TOGAWA FORT WILLIAM Shiz is our hard-working Editor. She is the only spark of feminine charm to be found in the Chemistry classes and she may be found perched on a pail in the lab on Thursday afternoons. On Wed- nesday afternoons she curls on Couture ' s team. Shiz enjoys the lab so much that she is hoping to be a laboratory tech- nologist. Faculty of AWI LAWRENCE LOS PORT ARTHUR Lawrence ' s former financial experience prepared hi m for his job as Business Man- ager for the Year Book. He is terribly camera shy; however, he finally consented to have his picture taken when we prom- ised not to print Wanted beneath it. Lawrence ' s great love is History and he is taking Honour History with an eye to continuing this course at Queen ' s. LAKEHEAD TECHNICAL INSTITUTE YEAR BOOK FACULTY OF APPLIED SCIENCE BILL MORGAN PORT ARTHUR Bill Morgan is my partner in crime. If any of you do not like these write-ups, Bill is your boy. Fort William is seeing quite a lot of Bill these days. I wonder what ' s so interesting. Sunday you will find him at Baldy. Ron is indeed fortunate to have him as third on his curling team. KEN GEDDES PORT ARTHUR Ken is a pretty lonely boy since Marilyn moved to Win nipeg. He and Neil are fast friends, having gone through school to- gether. Basketball is Kenny ' s main sport. The girls seem to go for his curly blonde hair. GEORGE HOHOL FORT WILLIAM George is an Applied Science repre- sentative on the S.A.C. Last year he won a scholarship from Fort William Collegiate and is continuing the good work here. He is a quiet, unassuming chap who likes to play badminton. — 38 — LAKEHEAD TECHNICAL INSTITUTE YEAR BOOK FACULTY OF APPLIED SCIENCE BILL TOIVONEN PORT ARTHUR Willie is one of our quiet, unassuming students who always come through with flying colours. He is a real speed artist when the closing bell rings. During the summer he was his own boss, cutting wood on his Dad ' s property. Private life — uncertain. JOHN MILLIGAN PORT ARTHUR John is an all-around athlete. He plays basketball, hockey, and he skis. Naturally enough, he is treasurer of the Athletic Society. He arranges the draw for curling and skips his own team. He seems to find all but one nurse in training a nuisance when it comes to telephoning. PAT MALEY CAMERON FALLS Pat is one of the foreigners hailing from Cameron Falls. He plays hockey on the L.T.I, team. He is a great friend of Mr. Ross ' s (oh, those essays!) and Tony tells us his room is really something to behold. He is an electrical genius and a great arguer. Oh well, if Lorraine can put up with him, we can too. — 39 — LAKEHEAD TECHNICAL INSTITUTE YEAR BOOK FACULTY OF APPLIED SCIENCE GORDON DIXON FORT WILLIAM Gordon successfully passed the selection board of the U.N.T.D. and can now look forward to a summer of travelling. Last summer he worked in British Columbia and will probably end up as an engineer for Alco. Hockey is his main sport if we do not include that nurse from McKellar. BOB HYDE FORT WILLIAM Bob has decided that working for a liv- ing is not so good and so he is going to become an engineei. You fool, Bob. The Great Lakes Paper Co. really must have ruined him to make him take such a drastic step. He is one of our pucksters and also manages a gay private life. GEORGE MILLER FORT WILLIAM George is president of our Athletic So- ciety and rightly so. He curls, plays basketball, and hockey. He played rugby for the Roughriders and has other interests in Port Arthur besides the L.T.I. — 40 — LAKEHEAD TECHNICAL INSTITUTE YEAR BOOK FACULTY OF APPLIED SCIENCE HAL MORAN FORT WILLIAM Hal, known to his friends as Happy Hally has a great time enjoying life. He is treasurer of the S.A.C. and enjoys the Wednesday noon hockey game. The girls really seem to like him, maybe because he had a job as cub reporter for the Times- Journal. RON COUTURE PORT ARTHUR Ron is one of our great curlers. He skips one of the teams and has yet to lose a game this year. He is noted for his cynicism but underneath he ' s a good kid and we all believe Ron will do well. RON McKITRICK PORT ARTHUR Ron is another one of those cynical fel- lows who still manages to be popular with his confreres. He is a representative on the Students ' Administrative Council; his grades are really something. He won a scholarship last year. — 41 — LAKEHEAD TECHNICAL INSTITUTE YEAR BOOK FACULTY OF APPLIED SCIENCE BERT BROOKS PORT ARTHUR Bert is one of the few who can com- bine school and athletics successfully. He is popular with all the students and also with the fairer sex. We guess that is what happens when you play hockey. Even though he, too, is noted for his cynicism, he is sure to do well. JOHN BYRKA FORT WILLIAM John ' s work at Canada Car and his Vocational School background makes him a whiz at engineering drawing. He is a member of our U.N.T.D. and seems to en- joy the sailor ' s life. This lucky boy drives his own car. JIM BUCHANAN FORT WILLIAM Spike is one of the happy-go-lucky fellows who manage to keep the class lively. He is an ardent skier and curler and enjoys Calculus. (We wonder why?) The fairer sex seems to enjoy his com- pany, much to the envy of his fellow students. In addition to these serious studies, he works Saturday afternoons. — 42 — LAKEHEAD TECHNICAL INSTITUTE YEAR BOOK FACULTY OF APPLIED SCIENCE BOB MACKINNON FORT WILLIAM Bob is a good student of the Lakehead Technical Institute. He is also athletically inclined, playing basketball and curling. He has come to us from St. Pat ' s and leads a quiet life. BILL SKORENKY FORT WILLIAM Bill is the man with the Colgate smile. He likes to associate with the fairer sex and it seems that this arrangement works both ways. Examinations really cramp his style. Bill ' s school work does not seem to suffer from a busy night life. david McLaren port arthur Dave worked in the bush for Marathon last year and seems to prefer Current River to Geraldton. His cure for bratty kids is inky water. It seems he has been seen with some quite interesting people at the Arena. — 43 — LAKEHEAD TECHNICAL INSTITUTE YEAR BOOK FACULTY OF APPLIED SCIENCE NEIL TUOKKOLA PORT ARTHUR Nool is another one of our star basketball players; maybe his long walk with Ken helps keep him in shape. He is often down at the Nahjus doing gym work. His main beef is that his father puts the car up for the winter. TONY PETRINA GERALDTON Tony is an embryo Rembrandt if only he would turn his talents towards serious art. We must admit his cartoons keep the school in an uproar. V e don ' t know how he does it, but those English essays are superb. Tony and Pat have a mutual in- terest — insulting each other. JOHN ZVONAR Johnny and Alf have a long walk to lunch every day. Johnny plays a great game of basketball and stars at hockey. You can usually find him at the hockey game if he has his homework done. Private life: mysterious. — 44 — LAKEHEAD TECHNICAL INSTITUTE YEAR BOOK FACULTY OF APPLIED SCIENCE DON SRIGLEY PORT ARTHUR Don is the boy with the wind blown hair, or at least that ' s how the photog- rapher described it. Oh well, fingers were made before combs. This lad manages to get to bed early but if you want him you ' re sure to find him shooting pool with Norm. NORMAN HARTVIKSEN PORT ARTHUR Norman is one of the new who realize the value of an education. Last year he worked for Stratchan- Aitken Electric but decided an engineer ' s life is the life for him. Calculus is Norm ' s strong subject and no doubt he will go far in this world. FRANK HOLM PORT ARTHUR Frank is another one of our curlers. He does well in Engineering Drawing and doesn ' t seem to have a care in the world. We would like to know what happened to all those moose he went after during the Christmas holidays. — 45 — LAKEHEAD TECHNICAL INSTITUTE YEAR BOOK FACULTY OF APPLIED SCIENCE JACK WIEB FORT WILLIAM Wiebo is our chauffeur deluxe. We don ' t know what the Fort William boys would do without him. He skips his own rink and he and Tony are always great for novelties; you should have seen those engineer ' s caps. If he is not at school you will find him at Eaton ' s (?) (or the Waver- ley). DON STASIUK GERALDTON If the orchestra plays any jazz at a dance, you are sure to find Don and Vicki showing us how jiving should be done. Don enjoys a party and life in general. He is another one of our illustrious curlers. DON TREMBLAY Don is another of our students who came to us via the Canada Car. His private life revolves about the Ex. What ' s her name, Don? He always man- ages to get his two-cents worth in during the drafting periods. — 46 — LAKEHEAD TECHNICAL INSTITUTE YEAR BOOK FACULTY OF APPLIED SCIENCE MERVIN ENDERS BEARDMORE Mervin is one of our cartoon kids, Mervin the Menace. His notoriety stems from his agility at basketball. He is al- ways seen heading home and seems to be badly affected by chills. Oh well, we ' ll have to ask the janitor to give us a bit more heat. DON MURPHY PORT ARTHUR Don and Ken can usually be found at Bird ' s during their spare time. He is one of the fortunate few who own their own cars, even if it is a puddle-jumper. He is second on Ron Couture ' s team and some- how (Lord knows how!) manages to hit the broom. YOSH TATEBE FORT WILLIAM Yosh looked after the photography for the Year Book so that if you have any complaints, Yosh is your boy. He played baseball for the Giants, also plays hockey for us. He is known around the school for his good humour and happy smile. — 47 — LAKEHEAD TECHNICAL INSTITUTE YEAR BOOK FACULTY OF APPLIED SCIENCE CARL ELM FORT WILLIAM Carl is our only student from the Red- skin contingent. He is always being called on to fill somebody in but we have yet to see him do it. Right now he is limping around with a cast on his knee caused by rugby injuries. He is well liked by the students but manages to keep his private life to himself. Smart boy, Carl. ALFRED WUORI SAULT STE. MARIE Alf comes from way down south, Sault Ste. Marie, to be exact. He has his own camp down there. Maybe we ' ll drop in this summer, Alf! He lives in Fort Wil- liam, but eats his lunch at Hoito ' s. TED DAWSON PORT ARTHUR Ted is the brain of our class and had the highest average at Christmas. His favourite pastime is skiing and almost any Sunday he can be found at Baldy. His scholarships helped him at L.T.I, but he still complains of lack of pocket money. — 48 LAKEHEAD TECHNICAL INSTITUTE YEAR BOOK FACULTY OF APPLIED SCIENCE KEN METHOT PORT ARTHUR Ken is the president of the S.A.C. Last year he attended the University of Toronto and took Commercial Art. He is one of our curlers and his chief complaint is frozen gas lines. He and Don are great for their after school coffee. LAKEHEAD TECHNICAL INSTITUTE YEAR BOOK Technical Forestry I JOHN POHANKA LOWTHER, ONT. Species — Pocahontus appetitus. John hails from the finest black spruce region of the world — Kapuskasing. He is often heard to say, You ' re not up north until you reach Kap. Prins believes that the chief means of transportation in that north- ern district is by dog team. John ' s ambition is to invent a robot cruiser, but his probable destiny is bull cook for Arrowhead camps. LUCIEN FORCIEP. NEW LISKEARD, ONT. Species — Franco Canadiensis. Lu is the only French Canadian student in our class and believes that New Liskeard is the only place for a real hoe-down square dance. He enjoys telling us of his past experiences with the H.E.P.C. Lu, an enthusiastic bowler, maintains he won a high-score trophy in bowling even though his present average score hovers around a hundred. He is noted for saying, What will you do when winter comes? BOB SCHUMACHER PORT ARTHUR Species — Germanis sauerkrautus. The papa forester of the class is noted for say- ing yah, yah! take it easy, boys! Bob is an ardent student and we are all pull- ing for him in his course. In the recent pulpwood loading escapades, Bob proved to us that he does not take a back seat on any job. — 50 — LAKEHEAD TECHNICAL INSTITUTE YEAR BOOK Technical Forestry I PIETER PRINS PORT ARTHUR Species — Dutchmanus coffeedrinkus. A very interesting fellow to meet. Pieter hails from the Netherlands and has many- tales to tell of his world travels. Pieter is a good student, that is, he will be as soon as he is able to master the art of chopping down trees without breaking an axe- handle. His favourite expression is Let ' s go for coffeel DON ROMANOFF FORT WILLIAM Species — Vauxhallis hitandrunnis. His favourite expression is Let ' s take off Kayo. Don is a friendly chap with a great sense of humour, and he tells us his ambition is to reforest the whole of Canada without help. He is the only musician in our class who would like to play in the grand ole opera house. TED KAYO IWASA FORT WILLIAM Species — Brushcuttis vulgaris. His fa- vourite expression, Who ' s got the mak- ings, kiddo ; he spends his spare time writing essays on the advantage and dis- advantages of a crew cut in 40° below. Romanoff tells us that he is forever ask- ing him to play High Noon on the violin. LAKE HEAD TECHNICAL INSTITUTE YEAR BOOK Technical Forestry II RALPH BIRSTON PORT ARTHUR This lover of Geology often asks himself what a tree can offer. We are all certain, however, that the lad will go places. Keep a sharp lookout for him in future business circles. Since Mr. Tetley ' s retirement, Biff takes the spotlight in curling. His chief trouble is to get a certain Miss to hit the broom. The poetry involved is amusing. BOB POP COLLINGS CHAPLEAU Pop as the old boy is called has one policy — Let ' s live a little. Mr. Biff usual- ly shares his troubles which we leave to the guesser. Some of his remarks are quite frank, and always draw a remark from Dennis. His weakness however seems to be a lady with a lamp and we do hope he settles down soon. DENNIS BROPHY PORT ARTHUR This sport-minded young gentlemen, usually known as Denny, is the apple of Susie ' s eye. He certainly beat Pop to the punch with the band. John keeps lecturing on the validity of a contract, but to no avail. Everyone wishes him the utmost happiness in his venture and we also recommend a bull session before graduation to assure certain requirements. — 52 — LAKEHEAD TECHNICAL INSTITUTE YEAR BOOK Technical Forestry II ERNIE HARRIE BEARDMORE Ernie is the perfectionist of our class; his work is of the highest calibre and his choice of blondes is discriminating. He may be seen around the school at various times of the day looking for his partner in crime, Landgraff. One weakness worth mentioning is his intense interest in machines, notably cornbinders. RONALD REGGIE LANDGRAFF PORT ARTHUR Ron requires close scrutiny, fellows, his future will certainly be interesting. We cannot pass up his pet weakness, Ernest. This playful bickering keeps the most of us in fits. With the coming gradua- tion in mind the boys recommend a joint policy for the future. Favourite saying — Ernie, with your brains and my abili- ty . . . — 53 — LAKEHEAD TECHNICAL INSTITUTE YEAR BOOK Technical Mining I JOHN BAYKO ROSSLYN John hails from Rosslyn, and never fails to let you know it. John is quiet but quiet water runs deep. He is vice-president of the Pre-Cambrian Club and a bulwark of strength on the school hockey team. John and Mary go to school, but not the same school. Shucks, she ' s a thousand miles away. Favorite expression — I ' ll do it my way. JIM McTAVISH FORT FRANCES A young fellow from the suburbs of that booming metropolis of Fort Frances. Mac a bonnie lad of fine Scotch stock (99 per cent proof) is a member of the Miners ' curling team and an outspoken Pre- Cambrian. This genial miner has one am- bition — to pass. F.E. — They don ' t do that in Fort Frances. RALPH POUTANEN PORT ARTHUR Ralph ' s aim in life is to live a little. Thinks thirty-five is the ideal age for set- tling down. He is president of the Pre- Cambrian Club and a member of the curl- ing team. Being a determined fellow, he should get along well with the opposite sex. F.E. — Smoking time. LAKEHEAD TECHNICAL INSTITUTE YEAR BOOK RALPH PREZIO PORT ARTHUR The Boy Scout of the Miners who spends most of his time scouting out ways to do less work. Ralph, alias Lover Boy (take another look, girls) has a theory that the quickest way to get to the top is to marry the bosses ' daughter. Ralph is a bit be- wildered at times as to where all the homework comes from. F.E. — Whazzat? HOWARD STANZELL PORT ARTHUR Stan, alias the Cameron Falls ' Kid is originally from Nipigon. He hopes to be- come an assayer but sometimes his hopes are somewhat disillusioned in the chemis- try lab analysis. His present ambition is to learn a little Finnish: after seeing her, one cannot blame him. Stan is our party organizer; consequently, his motto is I ' m going to live till I die. ARVO VINNI PORT ARTHUR Grandpappy is our representative on the Students ' Council, secretary-treasurer for the Pre- Cambrian Club and skip of the Miners ' curling team. Women are his forte (his range — Port Arthur to Val d ' Or). He plans to get married after graduation but doesn ' t seem the type to settle down for long. Pet expression — That ' s easy.

THE FUTURE Your future advancement, both cultural and material, will depend on many factors, none more important your use of the years immediately fol- lowing your graduation from high school. Never before has university training been deemed so imperative for young people who are sincerely interested in making the most of their capabilities. If you are interested, the University of Western Ontario is ready to tell you of its wide-ranging educational facilities, to show you how Western can meet your needs. By writing to the Registrar now you may obtain an interesting illustrated folder which outlines Admission Requirements, Courses, Scholarships and Fees. The University of Western Ontario LONDON CANADA LAKEHEAD TECHNICAL INSTITUTE YEAR BOOK Men ' s Athletic Society PRESIDENT ' S MESSAGE Athletics play a prominent part in society and the student is fortunate who can adapt himself to his studies and participate in various sports as well. The athletic activities of the past year at the L. T. I. have been gratify- ingly successful. Curling attracted the greatest number of students and involved friendly interfaculty rivalry. In spite of the formidable competition, the basketball team performed exceptionally well in the Lakehead Junior Basketball League, and advanced into the play-offs for the junior title. Even the hockey team, although not outstanding, proved quite capable in several exhibition games with local teams as well as in the game against the Duluth Branch of the University of Minnesota. We hope that this game will become an annual affair, promoting good relations between college students in Duluth and at the Lakehead. We would like to thank Mr. Cliff Junke, our basketball coach, Mr. John Lauzon, our hockey coach, the members of the staff at the Lakehead Tech- nical Institute, and the many others prominent in sports at the Lakehead, without whose aid we could not have completed such a successful year. Finally, we must thank the students themselves, who received the sports program so enthusiastically, and made the past year one to be long re- membered. — 59 — —GEORGE MILLER.

There were enough curlers to make up, eight well balanced teams, and the curling began as soon as everyone returned to school after Christmas. Since curling is the only sport at the school in which the fairer sex can take part, all the teams, except that of the teachers and the miners, were strengthened with a girl as lead or second. A Round Robin was started, and at the end of six games, Couture and his team were in first place, with no losses. The semi-finals were played on March 21 with the first and third, and the second and fourth teams playing off. Couture was upset by Vinni, by a close score of 8 to 7, and Milligan downed Petrina by a score of 9 to 4. The final game between Vinni and Milligan was played on March 26th. This game opened fairly slow, but Milligan scored 5 in the fourth end, and this seem- ed to break Vinni ' s spirit, as Milligan went on to win 13 to 3, and to win the championship. Ail in all, everyone en- joyed themselves this year playing that old man ' s game, Curling. .i.jn iimuiiiiiiiiiiiiu iiiniiniimmu u iiitiiiiiiiiiinin iniiicj i nmiii [3 a nu uiiiiiiiiiiiiiv KINDLY PATRONIZE OUR ADVERTISERS — 69 — LAKEHEAD TECHNICAL INSTITUTE YEAR BOOK CURLING CAMPBELL ' S RINK Skip: C.

GCirrCN North Algoma Street, Port Arthur, Ont. — 72 — LAKEHEAD TECHNICAL INSTITUTE YEAR BOOK The University Naval Training Division was established at the Lakeh ad Technical Institute in 1948 to train a limited number of eligible university students for commissioned rank in any branch of the Royal Canadian Navy. This year, three Applied Science students volunteered and were accepted. To obtain their rank of cadet, these candidates had to pass thorough physical examinations and prove their academic and officer-like qualities before a Naval Selection Board. During the school term, the U.N.T.D. introduced these new entries to general navy proce- dures. Divisional drills were held every Monday evening in H.M.C.S. Griffon to provide training in seamanship, navigation, and gunnery. On January 21 the cadets went on an expense-paid trip to H.M.C.S. Chippewa in Win- nipeg to face the selection boa;d. After successful interviews, they visited the engineering buildings of the University of Manitoba. These cadets are looking forward to an interesting summer training programme after completing their school year. They will go to Esquimalt, British Columbia for fourteen weeks of training ashore and afloat. This period includes an ocean cruise on a Canadian warship. The Royal Canadian Navy will provide all clothing and lodging, plus a salary which will help pay for the cadets ' university education. Next year the U.N.T.D. cadets will continue their training at another university. During the second summer the cadets will receive further training in navigqtion and communication and will specialize in a particular branch of the Royal Canadian Navy. After two summers of successful training and graduation from university the Royal Canadian Navy will grant U.N.T.D. cadets a permanent commission and promotion to the rank of sub-lieutenant. Officers may then apply for admission to the R.C.N, active force and a lifetime career in the Navy or they may enter a civilian profession and remain on a reserve list, ready to serve Canada in an emergency. To U.N.T.D. cadets, navy life is not just friendship and travel; it is their way of expressing loyalty to Canada and a willingness to preserve the Canadian way of life.

We all wondered at the time if this party was a political hoax to influence voters for the president ' s chair in the Council. On all counts it was a very successful party. GET- ACQUAINTED PARTY The official party of the year was held the last Friday in October at the home of Mr. and Mrs. D. I. Nattress. A large number of students and staff turned out to enjoy the evening. A delicious lunch was served during the evening, thanks to the Dance Commit- tee: Nadeen Gilchrist, chairman, Joyce Walneck, and Barbara Swanton. PRE-CHRISTMAS PARTY The Students ' Administrative Council sponsored an informal party at the Palomar Supper Club, November 27. Mr. and Mrs. Ross and Mr. Braun were our chaperones. Everyone en- joyed dancing to the music of the juke box. Shortly before twelve lunch was served. ANNUAL FORMAL On January 30, 1953, the St dents ' Administrative Council presented the fourth annual Winter Formal at the Port Ar thur Country Club. Dancing was enjoyed from 9 till 1 to Howard Hura- by ' s Orchestra. A lunch was served during intermission. The Dance Committee — Joyce Wal- neck, chairman, George Miller, Denny Brophy, Nadeen Gilchrist, finance chairman, and Ken Methot — deserve much of the credit for making this for- mal one of the most successful up to date. HOCKEY PARTY After the hockey game on Monday, February 23, a party was held at the Palomar Supper Club for the visiting team from the University of Minnesota, Duluth Branch. The Men ' s Athletic So- ciety were hosts. That evening we also celebrated the birthday of two of our favourite students. PRE-EXAMINATION PARTY The Casino was the scene of a Hard Times Party on March 6. Dancing was to the music of a juke box. Hugh (pronounced Hug) Couch was in charge of all the arrangements. — 74 — HAPPY FOURSOME SIZZLE ! SIZZLE !

This was an historical act, and a monument should have been erected on that dike. The people of the time probably forgot it. Without knowing, those farmers laid the first stone for the house now known as the Kingdom of the Netherlands. And so Friesland became the first place where the Dutch population could hunt and fish and also breed cattle. The great fight against the North Sea which attacked from all sides had begun, a fight which has been going on until the present day. The spade and bucket were the forerunners of the mighty sand dredgers, cranes and pump stations of to-day. The defeats were numerous, and long is the list of floods which stole away great chunks of land. But every swift, treacherous attack of the sea accompanied by the roaring voice of the Wester- storm was parried by a counter-aiiack planned deliberately and cautiously but appearing to the people in other countries as reckless and fantastic. The fight has been hard but it is not finished yet. Looking back to the year 1000 we find that 375,000 acres have been lost and 390,000 acres have been won, making a total gain of 15,000 acres. Only when the last acre which can be won from the sea has been drained can the victory be complete; only when in addition the Zuidersee, the greater part of the Dollart, the Bieschbos, the waters of Zealand and the Waddensee are lying behind dikes can the victory be complete. To drain a sea seems like a fantastic idea, and yet in 1664 a man by the name of Hendric Stevin proposed to drain the Zuidersee, an area of 700,000 acres. The Dutchmen in those days laughed and shrugged their shoulders, but to-day the Zuidersee is almost drained and it is possible in these modern and technical times to drain the other waters mentioned too. In addition to a straight coastline, the drainage will give the Netherlands an increased land acreage. It will be easier to defend the country against the sea and to maintain the dikes. Instead of a coastline of 1840 kilometres, the Netherlands will have a coastline of 350 kilo- metres. This short coastline is the goal toward which all Dutch civil engineers work regardless of the time involved. They hope to reach that goal in the year 2050. Frisian Farm. Canal Slotcn.

SEVEN CENTURIES OF WATERLESS NEPTUNE— (Continued) To what extent those Dutch plans will be delayed by the recent flood cannot be yet estimated, but the damage done to the land already is great. Not since the black night of November 18, 1421, when the flood, known as St. Elizabeths, swept in over the Netherlands, has so much of the country been devastated by the ocean, has so great a flood overcome the Netherlands. On that one night five centuries ago seventy-two villages, two castles, and two monasteries were destroyed; 100,000 people and a large number of cattle were drownd. The North Sea and the Rhine River flooded a part of the country known as the South Hollandse Waard and a deep, wide sea was formed — the Zuid Hollandse Deep. A part of the Zuid- Hollandse Waard has been reclaimed but some of it is still under water. Five centuries later, January 17, 1953, another flood with tides thirty feet high smashed holes in the dikes in numerous places. Sometimes the flood water surged inland for forty miles. Hardest hit were the islands of Zealand, two large islands called Goeree and over Flakkee, with a population of 5,000. They are three-quarters under water. Another small island known as Fiers Guneter has completely vanished. About 1,000 dead have been counted and about a million or 10 per cent of all the population have lost their property. The damage done to the soil is severe. Salt water always penetrates deep into the soil and experts will have to wait till early autumn before they can test the soil for salt content. Four years may pass before the flooded land returns to normal. Gypsum can be used to counter the salt but heavy rainfall is needed to dissolve the gypsum. As gypsum cannot be used until the top soil has drained and as most of the flooded land is in low rainfall areas with heavy soil, it may take twenty years for some fields to regain full fertility. The total cost of the flood is not known but the Dutch Central Statistics Bureau estimates that about 14,500 of Holland ' s 2,345,000 houses were in the flood areas. About 1,000 farms in Zealand are a total loss and 2,000 damaged. About i,300 houses and farms are flooded in North Brabant. The Dutch Government, which the week before had announced that it would not need the Marshall Security Act Funds from the United States any more, has had to ask sadly that assistance be renewed. But there is no doubt that as in the old times all the lost land will be reclaimed. In the middle of the Afsluitdike, which seals the mouth of the Zuidersee is a monument which bears the inscription: A nation that lives builds for its future. Many times in the past the Dutch have looked disaster in the face and yet triumphed in the end. Dutch industry and skill will take over where the flood waters left off and show the world that still she lives, and builds for the future. — PIETER PRINS. — 84 — LAKEHEAD TECHNICAL INSTITUTE YEAR BOOK AND THUS THE WHIRLIGIG CP TIME . . . IFE has many turnings and mine assurerdly has had its share. It does not seem many years since I was a young lad s ! ' : out in a life which looked bright and full of promise. Hambuiy in those days was a great city from which great ships wen to all parts of the world. I always liked the sea and so began work in a shipyard where, if I could not sail upon the ships, at least I could work among them and see them leave the yards, slide into the Elbe and put out for the North Sea. Our greatest day was when Adolf Hitler came and launched the battle- ship, the Prinz Eugen of which we were so proud; we could not foresee then a mighty explosion years later on the Bikini atoll in the Pacific, and I certainly saw no sense in an old man ' s muttered prophecy: You ' ll see, Robert, ships like these mean war. He stood near me as the Prinz Eugen took the slips. But a year or two later I received my orders to report to a pioneer unit in an infantry corps. And soon enough I knew the meaning of war, the excitement, the danger, the destruction, and death. Soon enough I sensed the gigantic nature of the struggle which Der Fuehrer took us into. It was a black day in my life, when on a reconnaissance trip far ahead of the company I was taken prisoner by a Belgian unit. So it goes when you are too daring in war. At first — questions, questions and more questions. Resistance is out of the question: you are no longer free; it is a sickening feeling. Always the shadow that falls on you from behind, always the glint of steel as you are shoved from prison to prison. Now more of my countrymen begin to appear — a discouraging thing but I was glad of company and news of the war which must now be close for I could hear the guns. And then while we were cooped up in a boxcar within the ancient fortifications of Dunkirk, hell slowly moved in upon us as our armies brought field guns within range of Dunkirk and proceeded to demolish it. For ten days we lived under the shriek of high explosives, helpless in a box car; strong German troopers broke under the terrible tension and became as little children. But on the tenth day we were herded upon an old trawler which promptly stood out to sea while a wonderful silence bathed our nerves. In England curious people, some with hate in their eyes stared at us, while in the compound we faced endless questioning again. At last another train trip, another ship, and this time the ocean. I felt better for the bitter war in my mind was easing. — 85 — lakehead technical institute year book AND THE WHIRLIGIG OF TIME . . . —(Continued) None of us had ever seen Canada; none of us could appreciate those thousands of miles of forest and rock; it seemed one immense prison house; few could even contemplate escape into those vast swamps and swarms of mosquitoes and black flies. I hated my new prison house; mine was a bad black hate for months. But even hate behind barbed wire cannot last. Gradually the years passed; we saw movies, we read from books sup- plied by the University of Toronto and the Y.M.C.A. We thought often alone — thoughts that were not always in agreement with all we knew in Germany. And then it happened; I was a free man who hated now — to go home. I wanted to stay in the land of my enemies and become one of them. But it was not to be yet. Back in the shattered Third Reich I found myself alone in a strange world: alone with poor, hungry people, alone amid the ruins of a land that was once so dearly mine. Everything was changed after eight years abroad. I failed to get work. So great had the destruction been in my home town that I failed even to get a room for myself. And so when Canada began to encourage immigration from Germany, I turned my back upon my Fatherland and returned to the country where I had been a prisoner for so long to start life all over again. I like it here, and it is good that at the Lakehead Technical Institute I can take studies that will bring me interesting, worthwhile employment where I can forget the old bitterness and in a few years proudly declare mv nationality as Canadian. —ROBERT SCHUMACHER. — 86 — LAKEHEAD TECHNICAL INSTITUTE YEAR BOOK TAYLOR ' S Port Arthur, Ont «S 3IIIIIIII|] llC311lllllli:ilC:31ll]1illllllC3lllllllllllir31IIIIMi::ilC3 i 1 1 ( i I ! i I ■ 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 ■ 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 ■ 1 1 1 C3 1 ■ ■ 1 1 1 ■ I ■ ■ 1 1 C3 1 1 1 1 1 ■ ■ ■ ■ 1 1 1 C3 ■ 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 ■ C3 1 1 1 ■ I ■ ■ 1 1 1 1 ■ Call Itl I II 1 1 1 ■ C3 ■ ■ ■ ■ 1 1 ■llillC ' FORT WILLIAM ' S | OlISE cr DIAMONDS I 3 3IIIIIIIIIII1 C3ftrilfllllllC3IIIIIIIUIII C3IIIIIIIIIIIIC31IIIIIIIIIIIC3IIIIIIIIIIIlC:3llllllllllliC3lllillllllllC3llllllllllliC3IIIIIIIIIIIIC3lllI111IIIIIC3Iltl]lillltIC3IIIIIIIIIIIiC3lllflllllllL- DIAL 5-8242 205 ARTHUR STREET PORT ARTHUR, ONT.

N. R. ADDLEY, Proprietor KINDLY PATRONIZE OUR ADVERTISERS — 88— LAKEHEAD TECHNICAL INSTITUTE YEAR BOOK On October 6 the forestry students left for Trout Lake where, under the direction of Mr. Haggerty, they performed a five per cent, 1 5 acre circular plot cruise. Once again we had the privileg e of using the Boy Scout Camp and we are grateful of their help in giving us accommodation. The first day was spent in preparing the camp for occupancy and in chopping a sufficient supply of wood for cooking and heating. Early Tuesday morning, the individual cruising parties, comprised of a cruiser and one or two first-year students as a compass and tallymen, set out for their respective limits. The first day of cruising was a baffling experience for most. All the parties returned that night with barely any work done. During the next two weeks our cruising ability rapidly improved and we averaged approximately fifteen plots per day for each party. On the week ends the boys managed to find transportation into town, except two second-year students who stayed behind in camp and enjoyed the finer things in life. On October 17, the first-year students packed their gear and returned to Port Arthur. The second-year students remained behind to cut and skid wood to defray some of our expenses. Monday was spent under the guidance of Mr. Campbell who instructed us in filing our saws, and the felling and skidding of trees. On Tuesday our operation began in earnest and by the end of the week we had approximately seventeen cords cut, skid and piled. The highlight of the entire operation was the skidding of the logs. Ernie summed up this phase of the operation nicely, Never trust a horse, give me a tractor. Everyone agreed that the time spent at our Institute Forestry had been very worth while. — 89 — LAKEHEAD TECHNICAL INSTITUTE YEAR BOOK THE SCALING COURSE School for the second year Foresters began with the government scaling course at Camp 40, Long Lac Pulp and Paper Company Limited. Mr. James D. Pennock conducted the course September 15-27, ably assisted by Mr. J. Peden and Mr. L. Sullivan, all from the Ontario Department of Lands and Forests. Approximately fifty-two men representing various timber companies, the Department of Lands and Forests and the six foresters from the Lakehead Technical Institute took the course. Mr. Pennock gave us lectures in the mornings, field work in the after- noons and classes again in the evenings. We tried the Culler ' s examination on the 27th, taking the field test in the morning and the written examination that afternoon. Mr. Pennock entertained us one evening with an interesting show of coloured slides. The Long Lac Pulp and Paper Company gave the men a banquet supper on the 26th, and we thoroughly enjoyed the turkey and ice cream. We wish to express our gratitude to our hosts during the course, the Long Lac Pulp and Paper Company, and to the instructors. We were proud of our results which measured up to previous high standings obtained by second year Foresters. r I Al I UTILIZATION II II On November 2nd, the second-year Foresters, accompanied by Mr. Campbell, arrived at the Abitibi Power and Paper Company ' s depot camp in the Black Sturgeon area. We were shown their sixteen-foot cut-skid opera- tion and the loading of sixteen-foot pulpwood with a Drott loader. The class was also shown a truck haul, a river landing, dams and camp layout. The construction of their portable barns, garages and of their sectional type portable camps was of particular interest to the class. Mr. E. Ayre conducted the tour and gave us a talk on Abitibi ' s policy and operations in this par- ticular area. The class then went to the Great Lakes Paper Company ' s depot camp on their Black Sturgeon concession. Mr. M. McKay showed the boys the company ' s eight-foot cut strip operation and their sixteen-foot cut-skid opera- tion. He also showed us their portable camp layout and two different types of dam construction. From here we went to Northern Forest Products to see a truck and trailer haul for poles and lumber. The class wishes to extend its thanks to the companies, their personnel, and to Mr. Campbell, for making this trip interesting and informative. — 90 — LAKEHEAD TECHNICAL INSTITUTE YEAR BOOK llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllliiiiiiiiiiiini: I COMPLIMENTS | I OF I j The | I Great Lakes Paper I Company Limited I FORT WILLIAM ONTARIO Fillllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll KINDLY PATRONIZE OUR ADVERTISERS — 91 — 1953 LAKEHBAD TECHNICAL INSTITUTE YEAR BOOK MINING PARDEE PICNI C October 8 — Left Lctkehead Technical Institute early and arrived at camp before noon. The camp was a dilapidated tar-paper shack situated beside a mountain several miles north of Pigeon River in Pardee township. October 9 — First night in camp was cold. We lacked a sufficient supply of blankets. Some interesting topics were discussed throughout the night. The atmosphere in the shack was striking, for streams of moonlight flooded through the roof, and drifted through clouds of cigarette smoke before landing on the dirt floor. Those close to the fire sweated while the rest froze. Next morning we -split into groups, each group making a separate traverse. During the remainder of the week, we did some prospecting and com- pleted our traverses. Some mention should be made of the food. We were our own cooks, and so differed from the Foresters who paid a cook to prepare their meals. But then we all can ' t be good cooks. Mr. Pages ' dumplings were the high- light of the week. Pancakes served for breakfast one morning were a little heavy. Prezio, our heartiest eater, managed to eat two. The meals were informal and everyone wore their hats. October 14 — After spending Thanksgiving weekend in Port Arthur we returned to camp, packed our gear and moved to the other side of the moun- tain. The new camp was in better condition, though we had to tar-paper the roof. We found that living conditions were slightly crowded. The first day was spent in attempting to locate and tag a group of claim posts. October 15 — Spent a more comfortable night. Bayko slept on the rafters and Mr. Page on the kitchen table. The rest of us were more fortunate in drawing the right straws for bunks. October 16 — We carried a gasoline drill weighing approximately five hundred pounds up a mountain, approximately one mile high. Although we were tired by the time we arrived at the top, yet like good miners, we immediately began to work. October 17 — We did some drilling and blasting near the top of the moun- tain to-day. October 18 — Mr. Page slept on the floor. He had some trouble with mice that ran across his face. We spent the rest of the week near the top of the mountain. We chained a short picket line from the face of the outcrop. Mineral samples were collected. October 20 — We packed our sacks and left for civilization. This trip was one not easily forgotten, and one which we really enjoyed. — 93 — LAKEHBAD TECHNICAL INSTITUTE YEAR BOOK miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iitiiiiiiiu 1 V r-Turriers | = 807 VICTORIA AVE.
