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.

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
