MR. T. C. ROWE This year brings to a close the reaching career of one of Tech's most eliicient and best loved teach- ers, Mr. Charlie Rowe. joining the staff in 1917 when this institution opened for the rirst time, Mr. Rowe has helped, in on small measure. to bring our school to the estimable position which it holds to-day. Perhaps. like the old tire horse. when he hears the bell next year he will want to dash to the fire again. Should such be the case. he may be assured ofa very warm wel- come at any time at Tech. For your thirty-three years of devotion to duty, leader- ship. guidence. patience and deep interest in the boys of Tech. we thank you, Mr. Rowe. May your twilight years be many. and bountifully filled with the happiness you so richly deserve. JAMES CRAIG To be elected Head Boy was a fitting climax to jim's career at Tech. Consistently a leader, jim has played on junior .ind Senior Championship Rugby and Basketball teams. Besides fulfilling his duties as Head Boy very cap- ably. he also found time to manage the Senior Rugby team last fall. The success of our school activities during the year is indeed a tribute to jim's leadership. MARCEL MAHEVV Ar present a hrst year student at Carleton College Marcel was the first winner of the Mercy Neal Southam Memorial Scholarship put up for annual competition among Tech Upper School students last year. This scholarship with a value of 5500.00 has given Marcel a good start on his first year course in Engineering. The scholarship may be awarded to it Tech student, based on his standing in the Senior Matriculation exam- inations held injune, entering Arts, Commerce or Science, or the tirst year of Engineering, at Carleton College. CLIFFORD QUINN This handsome broncho bustin' cadet came to Tech from Calgary entering Grade XI. Last year Cliff crowned a brilliant scholastic career by winning a 5600.00 R.C.A.F. Benevolent Scholarship to R.'M.C. To qualify. he had to try specia examinations in competition with candidates throughout Canada. To conhrm his victory he proceeded to rake all fitsts but one in his Matriculation papers. MR. -I. F. SWAYZE Mr. Swayze is nominated to our Hall of Fame partly because of his sublime position as Assistant Prin- cipal, partly because of all the work he has to do in arranging special time tables for us as well as in numerous other tasks, but mostly because he has always been a straight shooter with the boys and a darned good teacher. Mr. Swayze came to Tech from the Ontario College of Education in 1931 and soon became head of the English and History Department. While continuing as director of that department, he was appointed assistant to Mr. Hendry last year. We look forward to many successful years for Tech under the new team. DOROTHY FRANCIS 1 Dorothy has taken an active interest in our school functions ever since she first came to Tech. One of the few girls in the school this year, she is, nevertheless, a very talented one. It is hard for us to think of any pro- duction of a dramatic or musical nature that did not have Dot in its cast. Not only can she dance and sing, but she also can act very well. CHARLES PAUL In the world of sports Tech has had many champions, but this year's winner of the Mayor of Ottawa Trophy, an annual award to Tech's most outstanding athlete, Chuck Paul, is certainly one of the best in this class. As last year's winner of the Gerry Boucher Trophy, he played on his fourth football championship team. CHARLES PARMELEE Our pass-catcher de luxe, Chuck was selected as this year's recipient of the Rough Rider Trophy. This trophy is given annually to the most outstanding lineman in the Senior Interscholastic League. Chuck is well known through out the School as an outstanding gymnast, and track and field star 1 he is one of the best forwards in the Senior Basketball League. MARCEL PITRE This year's outstanding running half-back on our Senior Football team, Marc was awarded the Gerry Boucher Memorial Trophy as the most valuable player in the league. Last year he played junior Football, junior Hockey, and was a stand-out on our Track and Field team. In this, his first year of senior football, he really outdid himself and the trophy is a well deserved reward. 6o
