It can't be, for it was on that day and date of December 1918 that Walter Maurice Wintem- berg came into being in Detroit, Michigan. It was not until September 1925 that Walter felt the urge for learning, when he entered Lingemann School in Detroit, where he stayed until 1929. Then, since the noise of that great metropolis, etc., was too much for him, he moved to Ayr, Ontario. Here he continued his education at the Public and Continuation Schools until 1936, when he graduated with complete Junior Matriculation. In 1937 Walter attended Galt Collegiate. During his year at P.H.S. Walter entered every sphere of activity. He played on the boy's basketball team, and was treasurer of the Literary So- ciety for the Spring Term. Walter is now attending Wayne University in Detroit, with high hopes of obtaining a degree in Chemical Engineering. Good luck Wint!-We Wish you every success in the future. F.L.S.
