Mary Ellen Carnahan CHATI-LAM. ONT. Social Science Carnie, a combination of poise and friendliness, excelled as vice- president of her year, '45-'46, and Secretary of the Dramatic Society, '45-'46. 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. Grace Margaret Cockburn sr. CATHARINES Social Science I never seen a night So dark there wasn't light Somewhere's about, if I took care, To' strike a match and find out where. As Gracie prepares to leave us and take her friendly cheerfulness to Scotland, we wish her much happi- ness and good fortune! Elizabeth Iean Coon TORONTO Political Economy Option Betty came to Mac from Toronto, bringing with her a liberal educa- tion acquired in the Kingsway, Queen's and Wellesley Hospitals. While here, she struggled to stay in training for swimming, bridge and lectures without much success. She dabbled in life insurance dur- ing the summer and in Pol. Econ. during the winter. Future: Third secretary in the diplomatic service of Guatemala. I 1 Frederick Ozmer Catt sr. CATHARINES Science Option Oz ambled into Edwards with a lacrosse stick over his shoulder and such an avid interest in sports that study and Women were only minor diversions. 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. The dreamy look in lectures is not a result of the profs. but of canoes, sunsets and ski trails near Huntsville. Be- sides lectures, her activities here have included: Debating II fSec'y Women's Debating Society, III Pres. of Debating Unionl, Pol. Econ. Club tl, II, Vice-Pres. 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. Now its a toss-up between an M.A. or an LLB. Lorne Franklyn Cook STEVENSVILLE, ONT. Science CPre-Medicalj After discovering there was no fu- ture in punching time clocks, our boy with the curly locks decided to exchange his screw-driver for a scalpel and came to Mac. Cookie is a confirmed bachelor and has but two loves--medicine and eating. fHis specialty is beefsteak.J His future lies in Medical School and surgery. Good luck, Cookie! Margaret Coulter ALBERNI, VAN. ISLAND Science Option Peggy is another W.D. turned stu- dent. In spite of being a Western- er, she wields test-tubes with skill equal to that of any Eastern lab- scab. Her future lies in some Victorian hospital. Page fruclzty-fi2'v

Lf Ruth Hulbert Campbell o'r'rAwA Biology Option She came, we saw, she conquered, and we shall never forget her. Her quiet dignity and charm, and her knack for proof-reading essays are her special gilts. Her pet diver- sions are 7.00 a.m. showers, cat naps, and the Oils and Fats Admin- istration where she spends her summers. About her future she says, The world is so full of a number of things. Iames Ross Carey HAMILTON History Option From Central C.I., and with high ambitions for teaching, Iim enrolled in a History Course. Having changed his mind about the above mentioned profession, he transfer- red to another History Course. He was a member of the Political Econ- omy Club CII and IIIJ, and a parti- cipant in the Operetta III and IIU. To pass the summer months, lim scabbed at Stelco. During Year II he took up the art of skiing and entered the Ski Meet. This same vear lim discovered bridge and found the study so interesting that it was necessary to give up certain undesirable lectures in order to keep price with the latest conven- tions. Future: Indefinite.
