Frederick M. Adams HAMILTON GL'1IL'l'llf Fred came from the Air Force to Mac with a deep interest in classical studies. Although his energies were centered in activities in this field as Treasurer of the Classical Club for two years, and President in his last year, his interests were not limited to this alone as his attendance at the Philos- ophy Club, M.l.R.C., and the Modern Lit. Club shows. O.C.E. looms large on his horizon, and here his varied and lreen interests and his abundant energy should stand him in good stead. William Blair Bruce GUELPH Lrlt'Hl'1'lll Blair SnufTy Bruce started his Mc- Master career as an Army student and at the close of hostilities returned to Mac to continue from where he had left oft. Graduating in Course l9, he has no definite plans for the future, but the training he received here as President of the Student Veterans' Organization and as Housemaster of the Shambles should condition him to any hard knocks the world may have to ofter. 16 adm fe m flrfs Honour Conf e Robert Charles Anderson HAMILTON lltiimtir l:I'L'lll'1I und Gcrllztziz Andy entered Mac in T945 after serving overseas with the R.C.A.F.

Malcolm A. MacDonald CALLANDER George Eric McAllister DUNDAS llnnfitr .lliilllciiiiitim unit' lflniiiiizi' Viililiml lfmllilllly Hililirizl Ili-flllqlll-X' Mac's claim to fame lies in graduating from the hardest course in the Uni- versity with such distracting influ- ences as a wife and family. Olivia, Peter and Wendy claim first place in his list of activities, but Mac has found time to serve on the executives of the Political Economy Club. One of the citizens of Rockbottom Lodge, Mac came to us from the Air Force. We wish him all the best whatever his decision for the future may be and we can confidently add future assured . Irene Susan McGilvery HAMILTON lliiiiiiln' Viililirirl lziwliiittly Energetic and capable, McGee al- -.vays has a gleam of mischief in her c-ye'-we think that even her thesis must bc pervaded with mirth. She should he awarded a prize for being vice-president on so many executives: W.S.B., Maroon Key, the Junior year, Polecon Club. Dramatics, debating, and volleyball have also received her attention. Her many friends know that with the ability and sense of humour she possesses, her future suc- cess is assured. mm' .iltllllL'I1ItIllt'S After being discharged from the Navy, Eric came to Mac in 1945. He chalked up a scholarship to his credit in each of his first three years. Besides the studies he found time to participate in the Math. Club ll-IVJ, M.C.V. Cl-IVJ, Pol. Econ. Club fl, lVi. He was Divisional Officer of the U.N.T.D. all four years, and chased advertisements tor the Sil in the last two years. With all this activity he even found time to get married, and now claims his special interest is Grace. Eric in- tends to pursue graduate studies in mathematical statistics. Eva june Misener RIDGEVILLE lliimitti' Liifiu und lfiiylisli Petite and energetic, June has man- aged to divide her talents while at Mac among athletics, the Classics and Modern Lit. Clubs-and her studies. Her first love, however, has been athletics. This year she was the verv capable President of Women's Ath- letics, and she has participated in field hockey, interyear basketball, volleyball, and softball. With her in- fectious smile and warm sincerity, June has won herself many friends here at Mac. Her future plans include O.C.E. l 18 l Helen Mitchell Keating GALT Hiumizt' f'4I't'IIt'll and Gt'l'lllLi1Z Without music life would be a mis- take. Nietzche said it, but Helen could have. The M.M.A. owes a lot to its Vice-President for Choir and Operetta. She merits laurels, too, as Junior Social Convenor and Debating Rep., and for Varsity and interyear sports. She willingly puts herself into every iob, for in the give and take of life, with Helen it is always give. She's kind, sincere and a wonderful friend. May you, all your life, Helen, have a smile on your lips and a song in your heart. Ernest Cameron Lipsit STRATFORD Hfiamizr l'nIifii'ul Iifcllldlllj' He came from Stratford to Westdale boarding homes to Edwards Hall. In- creasing in wisdom and stature through all this, Cam served as Kakiak of Edwards Hall, President of the Pol. Econ. Club, dutch uncle to many be- wildered, less mature students, and as a target for interyear hockey pucks. He probably has his troubles, but his self-control and philosophical attitude keep them secret and make him a friend to whom any may turn for advice and common sense. Quo vadis? james Gray Leslie BRANTFORD Hmzozzr lfizylislz and History Scholarly, dignified, conscientious, any of these might well be used to de- scribe Jim, but all of these, plus a great deal more, have caused Jim to be chosen for the position of Head Boy. He has held many other offices as well, in the fields of Debating, Writing, and the Radio Forum. With such a background and such ability, he will contribute much in his chosen field of politics and international affairs. Edward Ronald Lyons HAMILTON Gvrzvrul Leaning towards economics during lecture hours, Ed maximized his total satisfaction by doing the minimum of school work and the maximum of extra-curricular activities. ln spite of ties hand-painted by himself and a yellow iacket, he was the Art Director of the Dramatic Society. He fumigated the Sil with his cigars and supported the bridge and chess players. Ed's chief love is people, his pet peeve is people, and his chosen field of in- vestigation is people. He is going to hobo genteely, with Europe as the first stop.
