He is often :een in the library but it is very obvi- ous that he is not there to study. A great sportsman is he, as illustrated by his part in interyear football lll, Illl, basketball CII, llll, and floor hockey III, llll. Other things occupy- ing his time have been Outside Repre- sentative for the M.S.B. lllll, a member of the Politics Club ill, llll, and M.C.U. lllll. Last of all, but not the least, believe it or not, he is married. Theology bound. Patricia Laurene Cliff DUNDAS l i'i'i1t'l1 Elonde ancl bubbling, Pat rushed in from Dundas every day, adopting Montaigne's motto, Que sais' ie . Pealizing the awful truth she took to bridge to forget. One extra-curricular activity lcd to another until third year found her in the Operetta, the Choir, the Modern Language Club, the first Mac Radio Show, and the Junior-Senior play, Future plans include post-grad work at business college. 24 Thomas Campbell Clarke TORONTO Gvizvluil Tom began his Mac career in '44 but after two years of North House resi- dence he felt the need of a vacation: consequently he took a year ofT and came back in '47. Sports occupied a considerable arrount of his time as may be noted from his participation on the champion football teams of '44-'45, and '47-318. His future is still indefinite. William Herbert Cline HAMILTON llixltii'-T' tum' l'iililiri1l lfriiimili-v Bill entered Mac through the medium of Central Collegiate, the Army, and Rehab. ln addition to work in his course, Bill has been active in the Polecon Club, the Politics Club, and in debating, as well as in the Board pf Pubs as Sports Editor of the Sil Ill. Victor john Cassano HAMILTON Hisfwht' illlfl Political Iiflllllllllj' An affable and quiet personality has given Vic an entry to the Polecon Club, the Men's Choir, the Debating Club, and the Operetta. lt was not until lately that we discovered Vic browsing through musical scores in the library-opera, symphony, semi- classical, etc.-evidence of a sense of rhythm and organization that pervades his bridge, chess, and his studies. Laura Irene Chappel DUNDAS History Having spent the first two years con- centrating on newspaper work as the Mac correspondent to the Hamilton Spectator and as Girls' Editor and a photographer for the Sil Ill, Laura intended to concentrate on studies in her third year, but the Operatic So- city discovered her and gave her the contralto lead in The Pirates . Laura was also a member of the Women's Choir, Poltics Club, W.I.R.C., and sang solos at musicales. Active in interyear sports she retains on one shin a permanent record of a certain professor's field hockey stick. Sheila Moraig Chapman PORT DALHOUSIE Gciivral After residence in England and Scot- land and a stretch in the British Navy, Sheila came to Mac to add a cosmopolitan touch to Wallingford's Blue Room. She enrolled in Arts and Nursing, but became a vulture for Culture in her second year, and traded in her thermometer for an Anthology of English Literature. What Chappie lacks in height, she makes up in thoughtfulness and sincerity. Best of luck to the future chief secre- tary to the Admiralty. Paul Harold Chiahotny McKlM, SASK. GL'llL'l'lll Paul came from the West in 1946 determined to win his fair damsel and to enroll at McMaster University. The arrival of George and his gradu- ation are positive proof of his deter- mination. During the war Sergeant Chiahotny continued his old occupa- tion of teaching youthful volunteers at the Army Trades School. His quiet, friendly manner and enthusiasm assure him success in his chosen career- teaching. We wish you luck, Paul. I1 x-

Susan Bagshaw TORONTO Cfviivrul After two years in West Wallingford, Sue moved over to the Big House , bringing with her a personality that rivals the sparkle of her third finger, left hand. Even though she won the honour of owning the most-used key in residence, Susie also found time to form many sincere friendships. Her athletic activities included a few basketball practices, dashes to the Rec Hut, and playing fiying wing for the famed Blue Room Bombers. Her future-Miles of smiles made up of happy little inches , Charles M. Berquist HAMILTON H istory Charles M. Berquist, known as Chuck to his friends, came to Mc- Master via Delta Collegiate and the Canadian Army ioverseasi. The rigours of Course 7 notwithstanding, Chuck still managed to find some time to be one of the staunchest supporters of all Mac's teams-ill-fated and otherwise. His outside interests in- cluded such diversified activities as photography, hunting, fishing, stock- car racing , bridge, bowling, and Jean. On top of all this, Chuck could qualify as a cross-word puzzle expert. - I KX .' ' Ralph Gordon Barker REGINA, SASK. lli.vlm'y and Vulifirfil lfllllllllll-V Potter spent a year in Regina, then decided to come here to give us the benefits of western culture. It is im- possible to say whether he influenced the Shambles more than the Shambles infiuenced him, but in any case both sides benefited greatly. Ralph is a great believer in scab week. He is leaving Polecon for Osgoode, where his quick wit and clear thinking will assure him of success. Thomas Donald Bingham SAULT STE. MARlE btuflill ,3lCli'!IL'C Bing came from Vancouver to make his home in Edwards Hall, where, for three years, he enlightened the in- mates with his discourses on religious and social problems. He balanced his sports activities linteryear and inter- house sports, and Varsity basketballi with membership in the Sociology Club and the Presidency of the M.C.U. UVJ, winning friends in both spheres. Bing plans to return to the West- with a iob in the Civil Service as his immediate obiective. Leslie Ann Bolton HAMILTON GL'lIc'l'ill A vivacious ex-Torontonian, Leslie, after attending Victoria College in her freshman year, came to the better university . Between bridge in the Rec Hut and essays by an open win- dow in the library, Leslie found time for dramatics, ceramics and swimming. Her future includes a business course to be followed by secretarial work. Gordon Buckley HAMILTON Political Iiroizamy Buck is a graduate in Honour Bridge as well as Political Economy. He is the exception who proved that one can get married and do better in examinations! Buck also found time to play interyear football in Year ll- and we have our suspicions as to why he didn't play in Year Ill. ln the future we hope you get your wish, Buck, to have your evenings free. Catherine C. Bonnell New YORK, N.Y. lfznflixlz Cathy's literary ability manifested itself in the inevitable English essays, Silhouette contributions, and editorial work for the Muse, culminating in a prolific series of Epistles to Europe . Cathy's sincerity and quiet charm have endeared her to many, and her future via Wallingford administration and a minister lLucky Bobli promises to be a happy one. Wilmer Howard Capes HAMILTON Gviivrul Wimp , popular president of the Maroon Key, has made a host of friends during his stay at Mac. He participated in Varsity basketball, track and field, skiing, tennis, golf, Men's Choir and the McMaster Quartet. Wimp specialized in Sociolo9Y, center- ing his attention on personnel work. In future years members of '49 will recall their happy association with the little man with the big smile . 23

Club, and Mistress of Makeup for the M.D.S. Wallingford is sure that her laughing eyes and capa- city for sympathy will carry her suc- cessfully through the School of Social Work, and beyond. G. Allan Coombes HAMILTON llistmjv and llolzliuil Efozzamy Allan decided to take Polecon and History at McMaster and entered Mac life as naturally as he will enter what- ever field he chooses as his life work. To round out his education, he ioined the U.N.T.D as well as distributing his activities to include the Politics and Polecon Clubs, the M.l.R.C. and inter- year football. Both his logical and inquisitive mind and his vigorous per- sonality will ensure him of future success. Lavada Margaret Conduit HAMILTON English After two years with the Air Force, Lot came to McMaster to mix Pass English with her numerous other in- terests. The Philosophy, Canterbury. and Clef Clubs, and the Choir all had a large share of her time and atten- tion. Lot's main interests are music and people. She possesses a warmth of personality that makes all who meet her feel they have truly found a friend. Her gentle and thoughtful character insures that her future as Bud's wife will be a happy one.

William Correll HAMILTON lli.vlw'y Via the glory road--lDelta C.l. and the Armyl-4 Uncle Bill came to Mc- Master in search of greater education. While expanding mentally he managed to do rather well physically, too- probably due to having soaked in so much history. P.T., three years of Varsity football, interyear sports of all kinds, membership in the Politics Club and offices on the Assembly and Publicity committees show that Bill was one of the real doers around Mac. This willingness, and know- how will carry Bill far in whatever career he chooses. Future-iust one big Ray-lmal of Sunshine. Donald A. Currie PAISLEY Pulifiml lfiwiizuilzy Don has spent his three years at Mac in the Polecon Course and his spare time in various extraecurricular activi- ties.
