Friendly, thoughtful, and diligent - that's Betty. We wish her the best as she goes to resume her work in the teaching profession. r Robert Iames Arnott TORONTO History Option Back on the road to learning alter some detours, Bob came to Mac from Runnymede Collegiate and Toronto Bible College.

Her widespread interests included: Sociology tlll and fllll, Women's International Relations, CIIIJ, tennis, badminton, inter-year baseball and basketball CI, II and IIIJ-all this, and archery, too! Her Irish charm assures her of a happy future, whether in social work or --? Mackenzie Alan Chown HAMILTON History Option Mac entered Mac in '41, passed a studious frosh year, and left un- noticed. A mad career in the R.C.A.F. made him the fast-talking, energetic Mackenzie we know to- day. He returned with the Special Session, and has lived in the Board of Pubs ever since, editing Sil- houette features, directing the Student Memorial Fund, learning his line for the big play, and think- ing student veteran thoughts.

Future: Third secretary in the diplomatic service of Guatemala. I 1 Frederick Ozmer Catt sr.

He participated in Var- sity soccer and hockey, inter-year rugby and basketball, inter-house fights, Marsh-rat shinny, and played a crafty game of bridge. After a year of Biology, he took Chemistry, but after a year of that he took to the woods and hitch-hiked across Canada three times to be stevedore, sailor, miner and logger. Fuming colonels, irate professors, or lost suspenders never disturbed Zoot's calm equilibrium. With such com- posure, good nature, and a gener- ous interest in others, he'll get somewhere some day. Ariel Cleaver BURLINGTON. ONT. History and Political Economy This liberal-minded flying meat- chopper came to Mac via Burlington H.S. and 5-8 C.A.T.S.

Illl, Operetta tl minor lead, II, III Vice-Pres.l, Dramatics flll, make-up I, and driv- ing Hortense tl, III. She had fun being a waitress in the summer months.
