Mary Eleanor Mowbray HAMILTON Honour History Variety is the spice of life , said Mary, and to prove it she spread her versatile personality in many direc- tions on and off our campus. Always an honour student, Mary took time out from essays and seminars to enter actively into the Pol. Econ. Club, W.l.R.C. and radio forum work. On the Debating Society, she ended her stay as vice-president. Mary carried the tale of McMaster to the West on an N.F.C.U.S. exchange scholarship in her third year. ln view of past achievements, we say with confidence that Mary's future will be varied, spectacular and successful. Lorne Arthur Myers HAMILTON Hiizzttin' linglislz and lirviiuli With a boost from the Gordon C. Edwards scholarship, Lorne unobtrus- ively slipped into Mac and settled down to a four year session of Deutsch and Francais. Always an ac- tive member of the Modern Language Club, he successfully led the German section as vice-president this year. OFf the campus, Lorne's hobby is oil- painting. His future is a deep dark secret but we know that his quiet, affable nature will win him success wherever he goes. Walter Henry Morris GRIMSBY f'I0ll0l!l' lfnylislz Ex-school teacher, ex-Flight Lieutenant in R.C.A.F. radar, Walt Morris en- rolled in the Vets' Special Session at McMaster in 1946, after having served overseas with the British Ministry of Aircraft Production. Since then Mo has established an enviable scholastic record in Honour English and has played a maior role in the activities of the Players' Guild in Grimsby in his spare time. Mo expects to enter some branch of the teaching profes- sion in the near future. Douglas Palmer SHEDDON Honour History When Sheddon lost one of its bigger citizens, McMaster gained one of her better Saints. Always an ardent sports fan, Doug ran the gamut in athletics, Varsity football lll, lll, lVi, interyear hockey ll, Il, llli and basket- ball, soccer and toe-pulling. His pet antipathies were lectures and essays: his favourite subiect the Toronto Maple Leafs . Doug's happy-go-lucky, sarefree disposition guarantees him the best of everything as he goes rolling down the road of life singing Jenny Crack Corn . Barbara joan Perberdy HAMILTON Htiimzzr lfttylixlt und l'iI't'IlL'1I Why hurry, live every day to its full, why worry, life in itself is good. Love and laughter, fun and fancy, dreams and hopes, with iust a dash of the serious-these things are Joan. French Club, Sociology Club, Choir and Maroon Key tell only a small part of the four years at Mac of our Senior Vice-President. She has the unique distinction of being at home in the library or in the Rec Hut. An honour student, a good friend, an incurable optimist, her future could never be anything but happy. Elsie Mae Porter GALT Hiiimlzl' l'il't'lI1'll tum' Gt'1'llIilll With Britain blazing out of both eyes, Elsie arrived at Mac to dabble in con- iugations and declensions. While hanging on to the Lunenfeld and Carscadclen Scholarships she found time to sample the various affairs of the Modern Language Club, making a capable president this year. Her wide range of activity includes the Modern Lit. Club, the Women's Choir, and various interyear sports. Convinced of her linguistic ability, Mac awarded her the Whidden Scholarship which took her to Trois-Pistoles summer school where she developed a strength in French pronunciation and a weakness for intellectual men. Douglas Edward Perrin HAMILTON lltuititzi' l'tilillt't1l Ifftlllillll-X' When he came to Mac from Delta, Doug spent most of his time in the Men's Common Room in the lower hall. There he played chess and learned bridge He spent the subse- quent years in the 'Rec Hut playing bridge . . . or in the stacks studying. He never deserted chess entirely and held office in the Chess Club for two years. Doug also worked in the B. of P. one year and was a member of the Polecon Club every year. His pet ex- pression- Meathead . Donald George Rutledge ST. CATHARINES Htiimiir lfiitflislt A facility for winning scholarships lRegional H151 resulted in Don's coming to Mac. He had an even greater facil- ity for gaining prizes Clsabel Walter '47 and Rand Memorial '48J. Nothing daunting him, Don romped through three years of dramatics, debating, and basketball. A caustic critic of in- competency, a virtual master of Eng- lish, an interested delver into the realm of philosophy, and a happily married man, Don will have a brilliant future. 19

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.

Etta Marie S pratt CALEDONIA Honour lfnglislz and Frcncli To live in Wallingford's Room l3, to write screwy minutes, and to preside over hectic Monday business meetings and love it, that for Marie is an edu- cation. To play first base and hit home runs , that is sports. To play bridge and sip coffee in the Rec Hut, that is a course. Wherever Marie goes, whatever she does, the air will always ring with goodwill, laughter and friendship. Prosper Douglas Terry WATERDOWN llolmzzr ,llullzz'111afic.v and Polzfzml lscoizouzy After six years in the Canadian Army Signal Corps, Prosper came to Mac. His main interests are his charming wife, Helen, and his son, David. His burning ambition is to become an actuary. A keen student, and a mem- ber of the Polecon Club and the Math Club, Terry can be found in the midst of almost any discussion group, espec- ially if an argument is going on. William john Sutherland HAMILTON Honour Frvmlz and Gcrmau Modest and unassuming, Bill has spent most of his time at Mac with his books. His future is at present un- decided but we wish him success in whatever line of endeavour he chooses to follow. Robert Charles Webb HAMILTON Honour History Coming to McMaster after spending four years in the R.C.A.F., Bob de- cided to devote an equal amount of time to learning the why and where- fore of history. Bob began his studies as a diligent student, an aspiring his- torian and a confirmed bachelor. He leaves this year still a diligent student and an aspiring historian but a con- firmed husband. This proves that history, the Modern Lit. Club and the duties of President of the M.l.R.C. were not the sole obiects of his attention.
