ONTARIO On behalf of the students of Lakehead College, the Yearbook Staff would like to extend its con- gratulations to Dr. H. S, Braun, who was recently honoured for his great contribution to the educational life of this country. Under his prudent but purposeful direction, the Lakehead Technical Institute has grown in the past decade, first to a Junior College, and now, to the degree-giving Lakehead College of Arts, Science and Technology. As the principal of this thriving institution, Dr. Braun has devoted him- self selflessly to instilling an enthusiastic spirit of education into his students. This, manifestly, is a great achievement and one in which everyone may well take pride. That pride was also shared by Dr. Braun ' s Alma Mater, McMaster University, which conferred upon him the degree of Doctor of Laws, HONORIS CAUSA, in October of last year. CONTENTS PRINaPAL ' S MESSAGE BOARD OF GOVERNORS FACULTY EDITORIAL STUDENTS ' COUNCIL NEW LECTURERS PATRONS STUDENT BODY ALUMNI STUDENT ACTIVITIES SPORTS ADVERTISING THE PRINCIPAL ' S MESSAGE TO THE GRADUATES: This was an eventful year at Lakehead College. The Men ' s Residence was barely completed in time for September registrations. Some of you filled out the required forms, paid your fees, room and board, and then helped to move the beds from the trucks to the residence rooms. Years from now, when you have returned as Alumni, you will recall the first morning when you shaved without mirrors and ate breakfast from make -shift plywood tables. There were no complaints. Your eager enthusiasm was con- tagious. It was soon evident that our Residence was making an even greater contribution to Lakehead College life than any of us had anticipated. In October the Board of Governors announced that a contract has been let for the construction of a University Centre. It will house, eventually, a student lounge, cafeteria, auditorium, student offices, etc. In its initial stages, a large part of this space will be used for academic purposes. It is scheduled for completion by January and those of you who are now in first year will look forward to using it. 1 am confident that it will add even more to life at Lakehead College than the Residence has. The most significant event of the year occurred in January when the Board of Governors decided to advance the date on which the first degrees will be granted to May, 1965. As a result of this decision some of the students now enrolled in first year Arts will form the first graduating class of Lakehead College. This will be a memorable milestone. To achieve it many people have worked hard and long. Ultimate- ly much of the credit must go to the students. Their achievements have provided very real evidence of the quality of work done at Lakehead College. I extend heartiest congratulations and sincere good wishes to the class of 1963.

Mott ' 63 NOR ' WESTER STAFF Carole Andruski Editor One of the most important phenomena facing humanity today is the atom. On the one hand it threatens us with annihilation; on the other it holds out the promise of a life of plenty. In 1941, an all-out program of to harness nuclear energy for wartime use was begun. By 1945, the first successful test of an atomic bomb in the United States was made. A short time later, two of these bombs were dropped in Japan- -one at Hiroshima and the other at Nagasaki. Within seconds after these bombs were dropped, both cities were in ruins. The destructiveness of the atomic bomb was infinite. At present, there are enough nuclear weapons to annihilate everything in the world, -- animals, vegetables and minerals, -- many times over. However, there is a brighter side to the picture, in that nuclear power can be used for better peacetime living. Atomic energy can be harnessed to heat and light our homes and industrial plants. Some day the sea will be mined by atomic power and airplanes will be propelled by it. Atomic energy will free city streets and airfields of snow and fog, and weather itself will be guaranteed long in advance. Already, we are benefiting from radioisotopes, useful in the study and treatment of certain diseases. Rays from irradiated cobalt, cesium or gold can attack cancerous tissue. Now that we have firmly and inescapably embarked on the atomic age, we must decide whether it will be an age of unlimited destruction or well-being. If it is the positive future that we want, then we must leam to work together with all peoples, regardless of race, creed or color. In order to have free- dom and dignity for all, a co-operative world venture is our best hope. Mr. Gnarowski Staff Advisor STUDENTS ' small ones. Our College is approaching just such a period of rapid change. New buildings, new professors, and Life and growth have many aspects, but perhaps the most essential is change. The changes involved may be gradual, and over the short term, almost imperceptible, or they may be so rapid and extensive as to seem almost revolutionary. Yet, we must remember that these great changes result from the accumulated pressures of the Dorothy Maki President rapidly-expanding recognition await it. But 1 am sure I represent all of you when I view these changes with rather ambivalent sentiments; for, while these changes cannot take place too soon - and unfortunately have not for some of us - it is sad that we cannot observe and share those following at first hand. As its emissaries, how- ever, in all segments of society, we will have ever -increasing cause for pride in our Alma Mater. Certainly the magnificence of the future you are entering is breathtaking. So, let its challenge be a beacon to your career, lighting the routine of everyday tasks with the dignity of dedicated belief in your profession. Enjoy the benefits of working hard; cultivate the an of always learning. For we must not let the changes which are coming obscure the recognition of the continuity of growth, both our own and that of Lakehead College. These changes insure progress; without change and progress, life loses much of its meaning. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the members of my council and to all of you - far too numerous to name - who strove to give meaning to our presence at Lakehead College. For this 1 am proud to have been able to represent you. I hope that you will pause occasionally to reflect on the past, on your fellow students, your instructors and your associations here. Perhaps as you do, you will re- capture something of the warmth of the relationships which help to make Lakehead College the unique institution that it is, and which provide pleasant memories for students and staff alike.

In 1960 the Alumni Association presented a collection of The Great Books of the Western World to the College Library in memory of the late Mr. W. S. Armstrong, a former teacher at the college. In recent years, the Association has awarded an annual scholarship at the Spring Convocation. The Association ' s plans for the future include the formation of a Lakehead Branch to be composed of those graduates who make their home in this area the year round; a greater participation in the activity of the College; and more social gatherings. The annual business meeting is held in the College Library during the week between Christmas and New Year ' s, to enable those who work out of town or attend other universities to be present. The tentative date of the 1963 meeting is 8 p. m, , Monday, December 30. All students who have attended one full session, either in the day or evening courses are eligible for membership in the Alumni Association. A strong alumni association can be a great asset to a college. To accomplish its purposes, the Associa- tion needs interested, active members. When you leave the Lakehead College for new and wider fields of endeavor, won ' t you still lake an interest in the development of Northwestern Ontario ' s own college?

STUDENT ACTIVITIES CAMERA CLUB In the 1962-63 school year, the College ' s Camera Club had as its executive J. Antero Elo, President; Dave Krull, Vice-president; Shirley Barabash, Secretary; and Kenneth Guise, Treasurer. Besides the executive there were two committees appointed. The first was to look after advertising and was headed by and composed of Peter Guise. The second looked after the darkroom. It was nominally headed by Tony Toplak with much as- sistance from Reinder Postuma. With its allotment of money from the S. A. C. , the Camera Club stocked the darkroom with chemicals and bought a few new pieces of equipment. Two photography contests were planned for the year. Throughout the year, the darkroom received very active use from the club members. Very often the red warning light outside the darkroom on the second floor would be on almost continuously from eight o ' clock in the morning to nine at night. All in all the Camera Club had a very successful year. FRENCH CLUB ... Je te chercherai, sourire, qui nous coiiduise un soir de Mai mieux que I ' enfance irrefutable. . . . The French Club can look back on 1962-1963 as a year of satisfying and entertaining activities. The Club opened its year with a reading of TARTUFFE with club members taking various parts. The reading was followed by a lively discussion. In November of 1962, the Club invited as its annual guest speaker. Father Delisle of Fort William, who spoke on the Roman Catholic position in relation to birth control. The talk was well attended and the Club was pleased to welcome its non-member friends who came to listen and stayed to join in the discussion, which followed Father Delisle ' s remarks. December was a quiet month, the Club devoting itself to a business meeting and to planning for 1963. The Club ' s dance was held in February. The decor was ' french cabaret ' ; the punch ' heady ' , the posters on the walls, genuine ' tourist agency ' , the atmosphere intimate and the music ' a I ' americaine ' . On January 15th, the Club spent a hilarious evening, courtesy Joe Dewhurst and his ' adjusting friends ' from the insurance industry, complete with the richest of Quebec ' s accents, who put on a skit dealing with the folklore of their profession. The piece de resistance of the year ' s activities was the visit of the Cercle Moliere de Saint-Boniface, who put on a superb performance of La Grammaire - Edouard et Agrippine et 1 ' Affaire de la rue Lourcine.

SOCRATICS This hardy perennial of Lakehead College bloomed frequently during the 1962-63 session. As there is no executive to receive credit - the unavoidable organizational work was handled by Joe Dewhurst under the skillful prodding of Dr. Doan. Two meetings during the fall term, with topics involving the eternal campus interest - Sex - were very suc- cessful, both in the calibre of the discussion and the interest displayed by the many students attending. In the spring term, the emphasis shifted from religious and moral interests to the intellectual aspects of art and literature. While the calibre of discussion remained high, the numbers of interested people tended to vary. During the entire year, all who attended found the opinions expressed and the interchange of viewpoints very stimulating. There is no scorecard by which the success or failure of the Philosophy Club can be measured; if the students have been helped to find valid reasons behind the beliefs which they previously accepted without question, to formulate new beliefs, or to use an old and hackneyed phrase, to come to grips with life, then the Socratics had a good year. The S. C. M. is a group for searchers. There are such groups of searchers throughout the world on many University Campuses. The purpose of the local unit is to relate the concerns of the University to the truths of the Christian gospel. Membership is open, with no formal roll or fee. All who partake of the spirit of inquiry are partakers of our purpose. In order to get signs up, doors opened, and stamps bought, we need organization. We have found this or- ganization in the form of an executive - two steady advisors, a local General Secretary, and an Advisory board composed of Ministers, professors, lay people, and student representatives. On Wednesdays at noon, we have, this year, considered such concerns as Canadian Literature, the Future of Lakhead College, Divorce, and Sex on Campus, treated, respectively, by Mr. M. Gnarowski, Mr. H. Parsons, the Reverend J. Jordan with the Rev. J. Guy, and Dr. Kajander with Dr. S. R. MacLeod. In relation to current issues, Dr. Miller led a discussion on the Cuban Crisis, and Mr. D. Fisher with Dr. J. Calquhoun presented the Medicare question. Three seminars met once a week, considering such subjects as the Nature of Man, Canada in International Affairs, and the Drama of the Bible, with Dr. Doan, Dr. Miller and The Rev. Don Ross, respectively. At the end of March, an afternoon ' s discussion on personal belief took place, with two clergymen and two professors as resource leaders. Mention should also be made of the cultural pursuits of the group. We opened a permanent book room where students may browse over, talk about, buy, or order books relating to almost every possible topic. Finally, we held a showing of the motion picture film Hiroshima Mon Amour. We hope this may become a regular feat in the years to come. TREASURE VAN RADIO CLUB The College Radio Club began its year by electing the administrative executive. Jack Green chaired the first meeting and was elected president. The position of treasurer was taken by Antero Elo, and that of secretary by Tony Toplak. In the following meetings a budget was drawn up and presented to the Students ' Administrative Council. The bill was passed and a sum of $110. 56 was allotted to the club for the fiscal year. The money has been used for the purchase of radio tubes, spare parts, a tool kit, electrical equipment and instruments that are of importance for the maintenance and operation of radio equipment. The kits that were purchased such as the variable power supply and voltmeter were assembled by Ken Guise, a member of the club. The club ' s equipment consists of a Halkcrafters receiving set, a revolving antennae control, a Keathkit citizens band transmitter and a powerful 1000 watt Marconi transmitter. The club ' s 1000 watt transmitter has enough power to send messages around the world. Although the college has no regular radio program on the air it is hoped that in the not too distant future, when facilities permit, the College will have a program broadcasted to radio hams and other university cities.

NEMISSA At a dinner meeting at the Boys ' residence just prior to Christmas, it was decided that a club includ- ing all girls at Lakehead College should be formed. Accordingly, elections took place and an executive was formed with Maureen Styffe as President, Gwen Thrower as Vice-President, and Pat Connor as Secretary -T re asurer. It was not until the beginning of the year, however, that the club was really organized and its ob- jectives clearly stated. After a great deal of careful deliberation a name for the club was finally chosen. It will be known henceforth as Nemissa, an Ojibway word meaning Sisterhood, which we feel con- veys the meaning behind the formation of the club. Mrs. Gnarowski and Mrs. Page have kindly offered their services as advisors. At our second dinner meeting, our guest speaker for the evening was Miss Mary Balenchuk, guidance teacher at Selkirk High School. Drawing from her experiences in Levana, the girls ' organization at Queens and other University Clubs, she gave us many helpful suggestions for further projects such as fashion shows, inter-school sports, the development of a big-sister system and the compilation of a list of suitable boarding houses for out-of-town students. Our first project as a group consisted of decorating the Norman Room for our Carnival Formal on February 1, followed by a tea on February 23 which was to acquaint high school girls attending Open- House with college life and to encourage them to attend Lakehead College. Since the club got a late start this year, activities were rather limited, but next year Nemissa is looking forward to a successful year, playing its role in the development of a great university.

CIRCLE K The Circle K Club is not a fraternity but a service organization for College men operating on the campus and is similar to Kiwanis and other service clubs. It is a leadership and character-building group which serves the campus and community. The Circle K Club of Lakehead College, which received its charter, from Circle K International in Chicago, swung into service this year. The charter was presented to the club on October 20, 1962. Projects for the year included unloading and setting up the Treasure Van merchandise, decorating a tree and constructing a Divinity Scene in the school at Christmas, assisting in the construction of the school rink, arranging and supervising the Monte Carlo night during the college carnival, erecting the college float and entering into the Fort William Carnival. The float won second prize in the novelty division. The entire club donated blood at the Red Cross Blood Clinic. A beatnik dance was organized by the club as a fund raising project. The members acted as ushers for the office during the grade 13 ' s visit to the College. The club also provided service to the Kiwanis during their Easter Seal Campaign. On February 15, 16, and 17, six members attended a Circle K conference in Ottawa. At this con- ference many new ideas and procedures for service work were observed by the members. With this ad- ditional knowledge and with the ideas gained during the past year the club looks towards next year with increased desire to serve the College. . «. ' iUit Good Grm.

SPORTS ATHLETIC At this time I would like to express my appreciation to the students for electing me as President of the Athletic Council. I have enjoyed serving in this capacity, and have gained valuable experience from it. I would like to encourage future students at the College to participate in the various clubs and coun- cils in the school. They will be sure to benefit, as my council and 1 have. Athletics are important for the maintenance of physical fitness. This is a significant fact during the university years. A person should keep his body in condition even though he is at school. Equal atten- tion should be given to keeping the body physically fit as is given to keeping the mind fit! This year the Athletic Council purchased weight lifting apparatus which has been installed in the ping-pong room. A new ping-pong table was also bought. Although the basketball team did not win all their games, they did as well as could be expected considering the amount of time the students could devote to the game. The main thing is that the players enjoyed the sport. 1 would like to thank my able executive in the persons of Murray Tomes, Vice-President; Gwen Thrower, Secretary; and Richard Michaud, Treasurer. I would also like to thank the other members of the Council for their co-operation in making the Council a success. COUNCIL Murray Tomes Gwen Thrower Richard Michaud Vice-president Secretary Treasurer BASKETBALL A team from the College was entered in the Lakehead Senior Basketball League during the past season. They were, as in the past, sponsored by the Student Athletic Society and the Mustang Athletic Association. Starting the schedule with few practices, the team got off to a poor start in the league competition. However, with the unwavering loyalty of such players as Eric Berglund, Doug Brown, Richard Michaud, Barry Schick, Dave Parsons, S. Christianson, Mike Wiktowy, Gary Nystrom, Pat McGrath and Fred Shaw, the team managed to become victorious by mid -season. Congratulations are extended to the winner of the outstanding basketball player award, won this year by Dave Parsons. A special thanks is also extended to Bill Shannon for his endeavours of re -grouping the team and reviving the spark of hope which is necessary in a team sport. BROOMBALL I would like to congratulate all those who helped to make the broomball league such a great success this year in spite of Mr. Weatherman ' s attempt to ruin it. A majority of games were played in bad weather, and postponement of some was inevitable. However, Arts II emerged as undisputed (??) winners of the broomball championship with a 7-0 won-lost record, as well as a 7-1 victory over Ryerson Tech in the finals. (May I quote Forestry at this time, We was robbed. ) The Rookie of the Year award was voted to Larry The Hawk Hansen (Arts II) and in an undisputed contest the Worst Referee trophy to Peter Wochy (for his fine display of one-sided calls in the Girls vs Staff game which the girls won by a score of 5 to 3). His fine job did not go unrecognized in the school, (he still canies an axe handle to protect himself from the professors). The race for most valu- able goaltender was abandoned when the goals per game average rose to the hundreds mark, and I ' m convinced Ron Hodowanski, our statistician, goofed. I would also like to thank the Athletic Council for organizing the league and equipping it, and Mr. McKenzie who risked life and limb on the ice and devoted his time to referring the inter- faculty games (not to mention the enemies he gained each time he called a penalty). The members of the Arts II team are as follows. P. Wojciechowski R. Anderchuk R. Groulx L. Hansen I. Kozyra J. Scarnati D. Mazurkewich E. Berglund BOWLING The bowling league consisted of eight teams this season as bowlers again attempted to knock over ten pins in preference to five, Thursday evenings at the Big M. Bowl. Team 6, captained by Gerry Dillabough, with players, Pete Marbes, Sue Valley, and Gary Anderson, took the series, and in the playoffs, won the championship. Veteran Barb Barth bowled for Gary in the playoffs and was a welcome asset to the team. Due to the efforts of Secretary Dan Wolframe, Harvey, who was a welcome help with the books, Pete Wojciechowski and Ron Anderchuk on the money end of matters, this could be chalked up as a most successful year for ten pin bowling at the College. The final standings were as follows: High Singles - Lorraine Zizman - 201 - Eric Berglund - 215 High Doubles - Lorraine Zizman - 358 - Peter Marbes - 396 High Average - Lorraine Zizman - Jim Mayes - 147 - 157 CURLING Forty-four rinks were entered in the College Club which made for some interesting curling through- out the season. Although there were a great number of beginners, it did not seem to hamper the overall success of the curling year. A great number of these beginners promise to be fine competitors in the near future due to their interest in the game. Before Christmas it was predicted by many that Bob Lailey ' s crew would take the club championship. His team ended the first half of the season on top, but things began to happen after the Christmas vacation. Strong efforts were put through by the Sweet, Pattyson and Dillabough rinks which pushed Bob aside. These three rinks ended the year in a three-way tie for first place. To determine the champion team, a sudden-death playoff was drawn up. Jim Sweet then seemed to win very easily with a fair margin of points in his favour. The winning team was composed of the following: Jim Sweet - Skip Jim Lunny - Second Murray Steele - Third Gwen Thrower - Lead I would like to take this opportunity to express my thanks to the curlers. Without their co-operation and good sportmanship the year ' s curling would not have been a success. The 1962-63 Lakehead College Mustangs put forth a team producing the most formidable opposition the Lakehead rugby football union has ever seen, and missed the championship by a mere three points. The Ponies, built around size on their big offensive and defensive lines, used strong running to wear dovra their opponents. Emerging as league leaders at the end of the season, they fought the Fort William Redskins down to the wire in a best-of-three finals, winning the first game 24-14 and losing the last two thrillers by scores of 8-7 and 25-23. The Mustangs, a never-say-die team, won their share of silverware as Bill Mokomela collected the league ' s scoring title trophy, along with the Most Valuable backfielder Award. Kevin McGonigal, a perennial winner of the Most Valuable Linesman Award, again took the honours. A great deal of credit for the year goes to Danny O ' Gorman, the lead coach, and his able assistants Jack Duffy, Joe Delvecchio and Ted McKenna. Several new faces appeared on the field this year as Pat McGrath, Terry Gill, Nick Doneff, Bob Engisch and Ron Holmes donned the pads, adding much to the success of the team. This year serves as a warning to the opposition, of the potential possessed by the Ponies. Beware ! This was by far the most successful year the College has ever had in Hockey, as the team sailed through the year never tasting defeat. The first game of the season saw the Lakehead Teachers ' College go down to a 13-4 drubbing as the college team warmed up for the year. The old rivals, Port Arthur Collegiate, became the next victims as the College scored a 7-4 victory in a fast, rugged contest. It was the last seen of Collegiate and the College searched for new rivals. A group of very fast and experienced gentlemen from Fort William, many of whom had played semi -pro hockey, consented to a series of games. However, despite their experience and finesse, they too failed to conquer the College, and the team finished up the year with a no-loss record. With such stars as Dave Vibert, Ricky Porter, Colin Sutherland, Arney Friske, Roger Stover, Ross Bell, Ron Calvert and Don Richardson, the forward attack was unbeatable. The strong defensive work of Nick Doneff, Terry Gill and Bill Shannon proved too much for the Competition. The antics carried on by Lance Divine and Don Inglis, as they carried on their own type of knock-out hockey added much character to the team. Coach Terry Gill, manager Bill Shannon, trainer Lloyd Miller and referee Bob Engisch rounded out the working end of the team. All in all the year was very successful and enjoyed by all.

THE FORESTER ' S PRAYER O Lord, who watches over the seeds in the soil and the flowers in the field, look with favour, we beseech Thee, on Thy wondrous creation, the manifold trees in the great and bountiful forests. Guard them from the terrors of fire; protect them from the ravages of disease; save them, both great and small, from wasteful, destruction by wanton hands. And grant that, under Thy tender care, they may grow and prosper and, joining with the winds of heaven, ever sing Thy praise with joy and gladness.

Court Street Port Arthur The new, non-denominational UNIVERSITY OF WINDSOR (with which Assumption University merges July 1, 1963) congratulates the 1963 graduating class of LAKEHEAD COLLEGE OF ARTS, SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY and welcomes your inquiries about con- tinuing your education in any of the fol- lowing fields ARTS PURE SCIENCE BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION ENGINEERING HOUSEHOLD SCIENCE NURSING For information about scholarships, bursaries, student loans, contact the Registrar, ASSUMPTION UNIVERSITY OF WINDSOR To the Board of Governors, Faculty, Students of the Lakehead College of Arts, Science and Technology. Four years ago the Industrial Foundation on Education stated that Canadians must create a new university, each year for twenty-five years, each capable of accommodating from 2,500 to 3,000 students just to maintain the enrolment of 25 -35% of young Canadians who are intellectu- ally capable of attending university. To reach even 50% of those intellectually qualified would require Canadians to treble the facilities existing to-day. One of our biggest exports, yet little publicized, is that of trained brainpower to the United States and other countries. Vol. 2 of the Proceedings of the Special Senate Committee on Man- power and Employment , 1960, reported on page 56 a net loss through emigration of Canadian professionals of 25,885 from 1950 to 1959 inclusive, the rate of net loss more than doubling in ten years. A greater effort to provide more and more qualified young Canadians with a university education is not compatible with our inability to keep in Canada what we train and what we need. The two efforts — to train and to retain - must be parallel. They demand the combined at- tention of all interested parties — universities, governments, industry, and the Canadian public. Canadians must succeed in this dual effort to continue to see much of their best brains emigrate. What is true for Canada as a whole is certainly true for Norwestern Ontario. The rate of economic growth in our region will determine whether our best brains work at home. To stimulate regional growth the Special Senate Committee proposed: research and study to determine the best economic potentialities of the areas concerned, the provision of capital on attractive terms to build new productive facilities, retraining of manpower along the appropriate lines, and the provision of social capital in the form of utilities and other public services.
