Bruce Davies HAMILTON Honour French and German Emerging from a hermit-like exist- ence at H.C.C.I., I entered upon a new life at McMaster. I enjoyed myself very much in Dramatics, in several clubs, and finally as a hanger-on in the Board of Publi- cations. Post-graduate work in the field of Romance languages is my immediate goal. Travel in foreign parts and further activity in drama- tics would be welcome additions.

Her in- terests were divided between sci- ence courses and science clubs. She was a member of the Science Club CII-lllj, Vice-President IIIIJ, and C.I.C. flll-VJ, librarian CIVJ.

Bernice Matilda Halfpenny HAMILTON Honour English and French Vivacious and attractive, Bunny has been very successful in dramatics.

Donald Mackay Beaumont CAPREOL. ONT. Honour Chemistry Don was the first connoisseur of languages to find his way into the Chem. lab. twhere he needed his linguistic knowledge to follow the conversationl. He made himself famous as one who was ready to try anything. When the lab. filled with smoke and fumes, the envitable question was Where's Beaumont? With such an inventive nature, he is bound to go far. His ambition is to travel around the World. Good luck, Don! Abbie Carolyn Brown PRINCETON, ONT. Honour English and French Natural friendliness and charm, combined with a knack for throwing parties and playing bridge have made Abbie a true Wallingfordite. During her years at Mac she has given her whole-hearted support to M.C.U., Modern Literature, Modern Language, NV.l.R.C. and Year '47 athletics. Of her intellectual ability it is enough to say that she chose Course 25 and stayed with it. Abbie's plans for the future include a year at O.C.E. William MacD. Bryden GUELPH Honour Geology and Chemistry Mo came to Mac from Guelph C.l. on an O.H.A. Scholarship. With a flare for sports and a mild interest in Geology he spent four hectic years playing Varsity rugby and hockey while his summers were taken up by hard-rock mining in the Rockies. The Kid, a denizen ot North House, soon became an integral part of the social life there, where as a member of th Triple C he became the perpetrator of many crimes and an eager participant in others. Mildred Barrett BRANTFORD Honour History A lively interest in things in gen- eral and in History, Modern Litera- ture and International Relations in particular, has led Mildred with her capacity for intelligent discussion, to success in the field of debating. Executive ability, tempered by a sense of humour, has made her in- valuable to many clubs. Her friends know that she deserves the best the future can offer. X if' I William Richard Bergey KITCHENER Honour Chemistry and Geology Radcliffe arrived from Kraut- ville, immediately became absorb- ed in the Bottom Floor Gang of North House, and never failed to participate in their ignominious activities. His familiar shouts of No, no, I won't go, I have to study! as he was swiftly ushered down the stairs and out the door will long be remembered. He play- ed every inter-year sport and spent his summers swatting mosquitoes in the N.W.T. With his generosity and earnestness, Ouiff will travel a long way down the road of life. Arthur Bowes HAMILTON Honour French and German What with his occasional jaunts to New York, Buffalo and the theatre World of Toronto, Art has somehow found time to complete an honour course in French and German here at Mac. His extra-curricular activi- ties have brought him in close con- tact with the entertainment world and this Contact makes him an in- teresting land amusing conversa- tionalist and also Director of Enter- tainment. Future: He won't say. Stan Kelly Campbell , BorHwELL. ONT. Honour History Soup arrived at Mac encumbered with a great many convictions and conventions. After four years of rigorous training in the traditions of North House, he emerges uncon- ventional, and as yet, unconvicted. His participation in the Triple C involved him in numerous anti- social do's where he became outstanding in his organization for crime. His future, like his past, will leave nothing to be desired. It in- volves a trip around the World in general, and beachcombing on some South Sea island in particular. P0576 jiftvmz

CATHARINI-:s Honour Chemistry Though he came from the Garden City of St. Catharines, Mark showed little interest at first in the flowery belles of McMaster.
