rll Edward Okuloski HAMILTON Mathematics Option Smiling Ted came from Central in '39 to mystify himself with Mathematics. A versatile performer, he excelled in tennis and badminton. This par- ticular skill was an outgrowth of long experience as a C.S.L. waiter. To do him justice, any story about him must necessarily be a tall one: at least six feet five. We do, how- ever, predict success at either Brockville or Osgoode. Ruth Caroline Oliver HAMILTON English Option Ruth came to McMaster from Central Collegiate, Hamilton. Became Sophomore Vice-President and mem- ber of the Women's Choir. She swam to glory for two years, held membership in the Modern Lit. Club, and the office of Women's Student Body Vice-President.

Her college career may be described as per- fect, since she has managed to con- tribute much to Mac, to maintain a good scholastic record and to spare much valuable executive experience as Women's Debating Society Presi- dent and B. of P. Secretary. After four years at Mac, Iean still firmly believes in co-education. lN ARTS Harold Paikin HAMILTON Science Option Harold swears he came to Mac to glean a few crumbs of knowledge. But his tremendous activity in the field of entertainment and on the football field, and on committees and etc., etc., placed his studies so far in the background that the authorities decided to give him a degree in the line he was best fitted for: Entertaining. He will be kept on the faculty as entertainer-in- chief of undergraduates to come. He will always find his job waiting for him on the S.S. Noronic. Dennis Craven Wood Ord BRANTFORD Honour Science Denny came to Mac by way of Appleby, U.C.C., and Brantford C.l.
