NW wif' shi' 'l'-119' jtlilfilif N: Beatrice Marion Pickett STONEY CREEK, oN'r. Honour English and French With her shy and retiring nature, Bea has won a place for herself in the hearts of her Mac friends. She has been a conscientious library assistant as well as a member of the Modern Language Club. Although we hear her saying, I don't want to go to French, she feels her course will be a valuable asset to her future in library work. Linton D. Read DUNDAS, ONT. Honour English and French Lindy, the little man with the congenial personality, has contri- buted much to the life of the uni- versity.

Club fl-IVJ and Men's Choir fl-IVJ. Like most of his Maths and Physics friends of '47, Charlie plans to attend O.C.E. after graduation. George Scroggie HAMILTON Honour Mathematics and Physics As well as for remaining four years in the hardest course at Mac, Scroggie is well-known for his athletic ability, his trombone, and his aversion to gowns. An all- round sportsman, George partici- pated in inter-year football, hockey, track, basketball, Varsity football KIVJ, and was awarded the Chan- cellor's Medal and the Chief's Trophy fllll. With his good-na- tured grin and ability to make everyone like him, George is bound to be successful in what- ever he does. Immediate future: O.C.E. ljagf C'l.I11llCFll ill l Gene Eleanor Plowes BRANTFORD Honour Political Economy Gene came to Mac via the Albert Matthews Scholarship in Foreign Languages, but being more interest- ed in finance and affairs of state, registered in Honour Political Econ- omy and won the T.

His unbounded energy and enthu- siasm have won him the distinction of holding several major positions in the Board of Pubs and on the Iunior Year Evecutive. He sang in the Men's Choir and also engaged in inter-year sports. Certainly a fine future awaits him, since he combines a grand personality and an academic ability with a notable breadth of extra-curricular talent and experience. Y!! Arthur Schaber CARBON. ALTA. Honour Science After spending some time in practi- cal training in various fields, Art finally came to Mac for more theory. While no pretender to bril- liance, as a student here he has achieved a nature and masterly compromise between catering to convention and behaving as if he had just arrived from Mars. As a broad-minded biologist he now views the field of education.

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.

Modern Literature, Modern Language and Philosophy Clubs, Operetta, Dole-inspecting, Sil reporting, reflect his multi- faceted interests. Page smfvfzfccrz

If if Robert S. Shelley HAMILTON Honour Chemistry VYestdale's contribution to Honour Chemistry arrived with a deep appreciation of women, sports and science Kin that orderl. As a star of Year '47's championship rugby teams fll and Illl and playing manager CIVD, not to mention inter- year hockey Ill, Bob showed his sporting ability. His interest in Science found an outlet in the Science Club CI and Ill and C.I.C. flll and IVJ, while his interest in women in general, and Wallingford women in particular, has never flagged, With his natural friend- liness and his personality, Bob will go far in life. Arthur I. R. Smith SIMCOE, oN'r. Honour Mathematics and Political Economy Few students have entered Mac with so colourful a background, or left the university after such an outstanding career. Gifted with a sincere and likeable personality, remarkable academic ability, and an incredibly wide scope of in- terest and general knowledge, Art, though undecided about his tu- ture, will make a success of what- ever he does--a success that will lead many of us some day to say, I knew him when . . . Russell Tartaglia Pom' ERIE, oNT. Honour Chemistry Rusty, the Fort Erie Mudder, after spending a year at Toronto University, saw the light and came to McMaster. Majoring in Varsity football CIII, IVl, many inter-year sports, do's , Rache, and giv- ing the odd moment to Course 33, Rusty's quiet manner and winning smile won him innumerable close friends who wish him all success and happiness in the future. 'l'hey don't come any better. Future: inevitable! Raymond Arthur Sims BARTONVILLE, oN'r. Honour Biology Ray came to Mac from Salttleet H.S. the proud possessor of a great curiosity to find out what makes things tick. Although his course has forced him to confine much of his attention to stale fish, dead cats, dry weeds, and bacteria with unpronounceable names, he is still fascinated by life. Besides belonging to several clubs, Ray has had, ever since his first year, another extra-curricular interest which we don't expect him to give up when he graduates. His fierce independence and his untiring un- selfishness will distinguish him wherever he goes. Best wishes, Biolog! Iames H. Smith NIAGARA FALLS, ONT. Honour History Ring in the valiant man and tree, The larger heart, the kindlier hand. lim hails from Niagara Falls as a star-pupil of Stanford Collegiate- The best school in the province. At McMaster, after two years with the Bank of Montreal, his talents were revealed in the Orchestra, Rugby Team, Dramatics Society Executive, Best Actor Award in '46, and Presidency of the M.I.R.C. Class-mates think highly of Iim's friendliness and steady diligence. We know he will do well at O.C.E. and in the teaching profession. That nurse seems to be The Right Gal, lim! Margaret Elizabeth Urry BARBIE, oN'r. Honour Mathematics and Physics Blonde, good-natured, trim and diligent-Natch! that's Urry. Marg. came to Mac on a regional scholar- ship and soon proved herself a capable executive as Vice-Presi- dent of her year lil, Secretary- Treasurer Maths. Club fllll and President KIVD. It is rumoured that Marg. has never lost an argument. Could it be that the Debating Society overlooked an ardent de- bater? Future: Undecided but de- finitely successful. Marg. will al- ways be remembered as the fastest friend but the slowest room-mate. Howard Rowe Vardy HAMILTON Honour Mathematics and Physics Almost constantly in a physics lab. since leaving Burlington High, Howard alternated between Mac's labs. and Stelco's physical lab., where he worked for a year be- fore coming to Mac. Mastery of the equation PV::RMT in year III, won for him the Gill Scholarship in Physics. His spare time was occu- pied by Mac dances, Math. and Science Clubs, and assisting in labs. flll-IVD. This character, who would try anything once, hopes to respond to the beckoning of O,C.E. after graduation. Pagyf zzizzvfcrfz Kievlvav J Vf MW M-MMU' Qinwwuuww f
