If W , Garnet Paul McCandless HAMILTON Honour Political Economy G.P., Ir. , wheeled into Mac six years ago on a Frost-Rotary Schol- arship.

During his time here he sojourned with true- love Trotter without succumbing to his influence, and with G.P.

Donald Angus McMillan HAMILTON Honour Mathematics and Physics Don blew in from the windy west, breezed through upper school at Delta C.l., then drifted into Mac. ln his first year, a fog from Aero- vox settled over him, obscuring all Wallingford's gracious charms. Other extra-curricular activities in- cluded Science Club tl-IVJ, Math. Club fl-IV, Vice-Pres. IVD. To gain experience for his future career, he worked as a stropper at Dofasco during summers. His future is con- nected with condensers and O.C.E. Edward Markarian sr. 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. This year, how- ever, under the influence of a new room-mate, this thin veneer of dis- interestedness was peeled off and since then frequent sorties have been made from Centre House to Wallingford. In spite of such dis- tractions, Science has remained Ed's chief interest and he has worked diligently at the task of getting the most that chemistry has to offer. His perseverance and industry as- sure him of success in his chosen field. Paul William Miller WELLAND. ONT. Honour English and French Coming to Mac from Welland on a Regional Scholarship, Paul added to his scholastic achievements by taking the McGregor-Smith-Burr Scholarship in English.

Travel in foreign parts and further activity in drama- tics would be welcome additions.
