George Currie HAMILTON History and Political Economy Gorgeous George returned to Mac in '45 after spending two and a half years in the R.C.N.V.R. as a sub-lieutenant. He lent his talents to athletics and other extra-curri- cular activities. He was a member of the Varsity football team UI and IIIJ and of the make-up crew CII and llll. The climax of his career came in '46 when he was President of the Pol. Econ. Club. McMaster's loss will be Osgoode's gain. Robert N. Davidson CAYUGA. oN'r. Science Option Those who know Bob Davidson have great respect for a personal integrity, quiet reserve and strength of character that have made him dependable as a friend and team- mate. He has played inter-year football and hockey here at Mac, as well as in Hagersville High School and in the Army. After a year at O.C.E., Bob plans to com- bine adventure and teaching in the north land. We wish him the best of luck. Stuart E. Dixon TORONTO Pre-Medical Having chosen the vigorous voca- tion of the mission field, Stu came to McMaster from T.B.C. to prepare for Medicine. Regarded by his class-mates as friendly, witty, en- thusiastic and industrious, Stu found time for preaching, Lab- assisting, Pre-Med. Club lot which he is Treasurerl and The Young Pioneers of Canada. We wish him the best as he anticipates Medicine and Baptist Missions in India. William Edward Duxbury mnvts, oNr. General Bill started out in Course 30, but at the end of his second year decided he wanted to graduate sooner, and so changed to Course 1 la normal decisionl. Despite his outside in- terests, he found time for the Math. Club fl, Ill and the Science Club CI, II, lllj. His immediate plans in- clude O.C.E., and with his lively sense of humour and ability to make friends, we predict for him a happy and successful tuture. l'r1,rft' f'IK't'Ilfj'-.Yl.1' f I. S. Cymbalisty KAMSACK. sAsK. History and Political Economy After teaching school in Saskatche- wan for several years, and radio mechanics in the Air Force for sev- eral more, Ioe settled at McMaster. Here he supplemented his athletic interests--curling, baseball and hockey-with an academic achieve- ment--a scholarship. The business world will welcome his economic ability and typical western friend- liness. Florence Dickson DUNDAS. oNr. Social Science Florence won more than friends at Mac, for in the middle of her stay here, she changed her name from Collum to Dickson. Her life seems to be clearly planned and we wish her much happiness in married life. K. Calvin Doka KIPLING. sAsK. General Cal came to McMaster from a little red schoolhouse on the wide Sas- katchewan prairie where for six years he ruled as pedagogue until the thirst for wisdom led him to Mac. During his three years here he held forth on philosophy and other weighty matters-and also studied. For his future, Cal has an eye on the Presbyterian ministry. Good luck, Cal, and may your windows ever open on Jerusalem. Eileen Mary Dyson HAMILTON Arts and Nursing Eileen came from Delta C.I. to be- come one of the pioneers of the McMaster School of Nursing. Dur- ing the past two summers she has brightened the corridors of the H.G.H. with her winning smile and cheery disposition. Her interests have included: Pre-Med. Club fl, IIIJ, M.C.U. III, IIIJ.

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

Nial C. Eastman BELLEVILLE. oN'r. General Coming to Mac in 1942, Nial was Belleville's gift to the Anthropology Lab! After taking time out in 1943 to further his education in the Air Force, he returned to his Alma Mater in 1945. Commonly known as the mad minister, he plans to continue his study in the field of Theology at Mac. His future is rather dependent on at least half a dozen women! Kenneth W. Elliott HAMILTON General In 1943 Mac received an interesting personality on the wings of a scholarship in English. He spent two years in Course 19, and found time to exercise potential journal- istic ability in the Board of Pubs and to exhibit some histrionic skill in Dramatics. In 1945 the U.S. Army drafted Ken from the C.O.T.C. and sent him to the U. of Minnesota to learn Iapanese. This year he re- turned to the Senior Year of Course l. His next step: U. of Missouri, his ambition: Iournalismg his future: Success. Shirley Elsley GUELPH. ONT. General An inherent love of mischief tem- pered with a sweet and sympathetic nature gave us an ideal friend in Elsley. In her three years at Mac she engaged in many pursuits. She starred at basketball, dabbled in dramatics and was Soph. Athletic Rep.-but she gave most of her time, energy, and pursuit to Rusty and Wallingford's door-step. Ioan Ann Evans HAMILTON Political Economy Our cheerful Ioan is a lass who wins friends easily, a fact which only partly accounts for her being made Vice-Pres. of the Freshman Year, '44-'45. Her fellow freshettes spotted at once the organizing ability that was to make her an energetic charter member of the Rec. Hut workers, and a valued committee head when the Hut open- ed. Of course she was busy with other things too, such as the Pol. Econ. Club, the Operetta, and that Accounting Class! Altogether, 'twould seem she's one of those rare beings who has a well-rounded personality. LC Alan Iames Eatock HAMILTON History Option Al was a public school teacher and an extension student here before he joined the Army in l94l. He served approximately five years, and at- tended Khaki University of Canada in England. When he obtains his degree this summer, he expects to return to the teaching profession. Irene Amelia Ellison HAMILTON Political Economy Option Nikki came to Mac via Calgary, Detroit, and Delta Collegiate. She could usually be found in the Rec. Hut trumping her partner's ace, but took time out to become a member of the Pol. Econ. Club and the Operetta. Her future plans include music, which, in the last three years, she has neglected for bridge and Pol. Econ. Marguerite L. Ellsworth WELLAND, ONT. Arts and Nursing To be a nurse was Margie's aim, So down to Mac she promptly came. Her days at Mac are at an end, Now Hamilton General gets a friend, We'll miss you in the choir, my dear, And Wallingford will seem quite drear. Our loss will be the sick folks' gain, As deftly you relieve their pain. Helen Louise Eydt ALDERSHOT. oN'r. Science CPre-Medicalj Helen is a daughter of which West- dale Collegiate is proud, and with whom a lab partner is perfectly happy. Success is sure when she is lending a helping hand. Her cap- ability speaks for itself when we know the offices she held. She was a member of the Pre-Med. Club fl- IIIJ Secretary fllll, Science Club KI-IIIJ President KIIID, and the M.C.U. CII-IIIJ Vce-President KIIIJ. Her ambition is to be a doctor. The best of luck, Vicki! P090 f'zvt'11fy-.vt'T'v11 'WWW 4V 'M-5. 14494
