KARL GLACKMEYER MINING ENGINEERING It takes men, minerals and midnight oil. Karl was born in Quebec City, in 1937 and apparently even then his ambition was to be hard rock miner. His main ambition is to be able to “dig” philosophy as well as he can dig a mine shaft. During his four years at Loyola, Karl has been an all round man, with his hearty laugh and cheerful influence has contributed much to the good humor of the group. As regards to the future, we all know Karl has the abilities and capacities for success and hence we wish him many opportunities to use them in his mining career. ACTIVITIES: Intramural: Hockey ‘58-'59; Swimming ‘58-'59-'60; Bowling ‘59-’60; Member of Engineering Institute of Canada. ANTHONY GRUNER BIOLOGY CHEMISTRY Our own heart, and not other men’s opinions, forms our true honour. Save for his fourth year of high school, spent at D’Arcy McGee, Tony has been at Loyola since he entered his prep year in 1952. An industrious student, he has spent the last four years in pursuit of a wide curriculum of courses in the Science Faculty. In his spare time, Tony specialized in dropping sand bags on actors during Loyola’s drama productions. The technical term for this sort of activity is stage-hand. Having received his degree from Loyola, Tony plans to spend the next few years working towards a Ph.D. in world travelling. ACTIVITIES: Intramurals: Volleyball ‘57-58; Football ‘60-61; Swimming ‘'59-’61; Stage crew ‘58-’60. ue 43 JOSEPH W. HOUGHTON ENGINEERING (PHYSICS) Accuse not nature! She hath done her part; Do thou but thine! Milton Joe came to Loyola from a small town, Campbell’s Bay, Que. in the Ottawa Valley. He may always be found either looking up the weather forecast to see if the weather will be suitable for a hitch-hiking venture home, or around the electrical lab looking up amplifiers. Joe plans to continue his studies at McGill in Electrical Engineering. An ardent worker and always willing to lend a hand or a smile, we feel he will succeed in his chosen field of Applied Research in Electronics. ACTIVITIES: Football ‘57-’58, ‘59-'61; Swimming ‘58-'59; E.1.C. ‘58-61. NESTOR KOWALSKY PRE-MEDICAL Nothing is so hard that it does not yield to that which is harder. Nestor (Is there a doctor in the house) Kowalsky entered Loyola from Cardinal Newman High as a sophomore science pre-medical student. Biology, chemistry, and flying are his three manias. His organizational talents were put to use in the Pre- Medical and Pre-Dental Society of which he became president in his senior year. He spent his summers in RCAF control towers directing air traffic. He hopes to do research in aviation medicine after completing his medical studies. His natural ability and deep interest in medicine will rank him among the best in his chosen profession. ACTIVITIES: URTP ‘59-61; Carnival Worker ‘59-’60; Flatterer ‘58-'59; Jester ‘59-’60; Boarders’ Society ‘58-'60; Pre-Medical Pre-Dental Society:- Secretary-Treasurer ’58-'60, President ‘60-’61. 31

RAYMOND FITZSIMONS PHYSICS Any person more right than his neighbors is a majority of one. Leaving D’Arcy McGee High School in 1958 with his Senior Matriculation, Ray began his Sophomore year at Loyola. By nature not a “joiner”, he has remained rather inactive in extra-curricular activities during his stay here. A disenchanted engineer, Ray, at the moment, plans on going to St. Joseph’s Teachers College next year. His ability to grasp ideas quickly and easily, to reason logically, and work well on his own have carried Ray to graduation and should serve him well in any en- deavour he may undertake. JOHN E. FLYNN GENERAL SCIENCE, BIOLOGY AND CHEMISTRY I have promises to keep And miles to go before I sleep. — Robert Frost John came to us from St. Willobrod’s High School in Verdun. His attraction to biology led to the rapid abandonment of the engineering course at the end of its embryonic freshman year. His favorite pastime consists in being a dilettante, for he likes to dabble into anything that might provoke discussion; whereby he has gained many friends by his wit and humor. In the near future he intends to make this more than a pasttime, by endeavouring to import some of his knowledge to his students. ACTIVITIES: SSA: Film Programmer ‘60-'61; Intramural: Football ‘57-'61; Basketball ‘57-'58; Volleyball ‘58. JOSEPH E. GERVAY For man is man and master of his fate. HONOURS CHEMISTRY Joe found his way to Canada from Hungary in 1957 and eventually to Loyola in 1958 to take the Honours Chemistry Course. Being an exceptionally diligent worker and well endowed with intelligence, this no small task was accomplished. Good natured, smiling and joking outside classes, his engaging personality and cosmopoli- tan manner have made for him a great number of friends among both students and faculty. No obstacle in the future will ever be too formidable for Joe to overcome. ACTIVITIES: Intramurals: Basketball ’59-'60; Tennis ‘60-’61; Member of Chemical Institute of Canada ‘60-61. J. ROBERT FORTIN CIVIL ENGINEERING Public opinion, a vulgar, impertinent, anonymous tyrant who deliberately makes life unpleasant for anyone who is not content to be an average man. Bob came to Loyola in 1957 in Freshman Science. Since then he has commuted regularly from Montreal to Richmond, his home town. His warm and friendly man- ner has earned him the esteem not only of his classmates but of all those who have come in contact with him. We wish him the best of luck in completing his education at McGill University next year. ACTIVITIES: Intramurals: Basketball ‘57-'58; Volleybalk ‘57-'59; Football ‘57-'61; Hockey ‘57-'61; Skiing ‘61. 30

GILBERT F. LANTHIER HONOURS CHEMISTRY Pessimism is only the name that men of weak nerves give to wisdom. Mark Twain Gil is one of the few graduates in Honours Chemistry, which speaks for itself of his intelligence. A hard worker; the quiet, serious, conscientious type, who in his leisure time likes to improvise on the guitar, he graduates in academics rather than athletics. His amiable good nature, and generous spirit makes him an invaluable classmate, and one of the graduates most likely to succeed in every department of life. A confident manner and ingenuity are only some of his qualities which can only enhance any personal success he might himself en visage. ACTIVITIES: Member of C.I.C. ‘58-’61; Vice-chairman ‘58-'59; Correspondence Secretary ‘59-60. BRUCE LAWSON MECHANICAL ENGINEERING A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. Bruce came to Loyola in his Sophomore year after completing his senior matriculation at D’Arcy McGee. While at Loyola he established himself as one of the top golfers on the campus. With his keen intellect and avid interest in mechanics, Bruce seems certain to succeed in his chosen field of mechanical engineering. In the immediate future he plans to complete his studies at McGill and then to accept a position which will enable him to play 18 holes of golf a day. Best of luck! ACTIVITIES: Intramural Hockey ‘59-60; Int. Golf ‘60; Varsity Golf ‘58-59. M. BARRY LEDWIDGE ENGINEERING PHYSICS Life is my college. May I graduate well, and earn some honors! Another McGee grad, Barry came to Loyola at the beginning of Sophomore and has, of late, been showing an interest in Engineering Physics. During his stay at the College, Barry, while staying clear of extra-curricular. activities, has concentrated his efforts on his studies, as his success in the latter indicates. His quick grasp of ideas and intelligent use of them will assure him success in the future as complete as that of the past few years. GUY J. LEGER CHEMISTRY Count your blessings, not your troubles. After graduating from De La Salle high school in Toronto, Guy attended Ryerson, before seeing the light and coming to Loyola to continue his education. An active competitor in all sports, Guy gives his all on every occasion. He is the type of person everyone wants to be sure to have as a friend. This was proved to him when he was elected president of the Loyola Chapter of the Chemical Institute of Canada. Always trying to please the girls, Guy decided to let them join this year and can now boast of six female members in the society. His chemical background along with his personality will prove to be great assets to him in his work as a sales representative. ACTIVITIES: Intramural Hockey ‘58-'61; Bowling ’58-'61; Swimming ‘59-'61; Football ‘59-61; Basketball 60-61; C.I.C. Treasurer ‘58-’60, Chairman ‘60-'61; SSA ’60-'61. 32
