THE VOYACEUR CUNGIQATIJLATIUNS! The whole school extends its congratulations to those students who have made outstanding contributions to student life and activity during the school year 1945-46. GEORGE WILLIABTS-TH September, 1945, George was awarded the Cam- mer Memorial Scholarship in recognition of his outstanding ability and his conscientious approach to his school tasks. The events of the year justified this award. Elected first as chairman of the temporary committee in September he held this office throughout the year and was the only chairman in nineteen years to carry a whole committee with him by unanimous vote for the final term. Co-winner of the Garratl Cane, winner of the Widdrington Award, secretary of the Glee Club and the Rooter,s Club, student, athlete and gentleman, George leaves behind him an enviable record. BRUCE FOSTER-1945-46 holder of the Craig fcSonny'j McGillivray Mem- orial Scholarship, awarded to commemorate the happy life and val- iant sacrifice of a former student who gave his life in World War II, Bruce well measured up to the standard. Co-winner of the Garrati Cane, high man in committee elections, runner-up for the chairman- ship, sometime president of the Polikon Club, Glee Clubber,' athlete fand musicianlj Bruce teamed the whole year with George Williams in a fine co-operative ecort. DAVID DIXON-Eflicient and thorough in all his efforts, year round mem- ber of the school committee, Polikoner, athlete, Dave well deserved the Widdrington Award, the chief qualification for which is an unselfish concern for all that concerns our community life. WILLIAM HUTCHESON-Member of school committee, Glee Club, Thirty Club, Bill's contagious enthusiasm and genuinely unselfish spirit well earned him the distinction of the Widdrington, Award. ROBERT MARSHALL-ln addition to his ability as a track athlete, Bob possesses artistic gifts which were always at the service of the school. His work for the school parties this year would, of itself, have merited some recognition but his genuinely co-operative spirit in evidence from his first day in school made him a natural choice for the Widdrington Award. STANLEY TOM-The Andrew J. Davis Scholarship is awarded annually to the ranking student in the Business Administration Course. Stan was the recipient of this award for 1945-46. His record during the year well justified the choice. 15
