When sheer determination isn ' t enough... . . . then the door to higher edu- cation can often be opened through scholarships. Since 1955, the General Motors companies in Canada have assisted more than 200 students in obtaining a college education. This has been achieved through the provision annually of 25 four-year scholarships of up to $2000 per year in value, and through grants to universities. We like to think that we have helped to make determination pay off. Applications for General Motors Scholarships should be directed to the Registrars of the following participating Universities: The University of Toronto: The University of Western Ontario. London: Queen ' s University, Kingston; The University of Montreal; The University of Manitoba, Winnipeg; The University of British Columbia, Vancouver; The University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon; The Uni- versity of Alberta, Edmonton; The University of New Brunswick, Fredericton; Laval University, Quebec City; McGill University, Montreal; Memorial University, St. John ' s, Newfoundland; Dalhousie University, Halifax; and McMaster University, Hamilton.

Jerry ' s interests come under the four D ' s: Dancing, driving, Dorothy , and the other you can guess - he ' s a Drafting grad. His residence is outside Oshawa in a small bush. Fav- ourite pastime, borrowing tires and selling them; Prob- able fate, Indian Giver ; Favourite saying, I sold it . JOHN ABERSEK He walked through the halls for three long years, Achieving results that brought him tears, He builds what are known as electronic anchors, That are capable of stopping some sixteen ton tankers. The most talked about lad of Electronics Tech Could bear only the name of John Abersek. (What a grin!) BILL QUINN Bill has a mania for fast sports cars. Because of this he is constantly trying to steal Phil ' s small car. When Bill heard the rumour that the barbers were going on strike he got a brush- cut. Bill ' s future career is a toss-up between an opera singer and a machinest; the latter is the most probable. TED RIVETT Ted Rivett was a member of Parliament, B.A.A., C.O.S.S.A. champion of the wrestling team in his class, and captain of the wrestling team in ' 63. He was a member of the Senate and the wrestling team ' 64. Aim - De- sign Draftsman. Probable Fate - Designing Wrestling Mats. Pet Saying - Thanks. Favourite Pas time- Dating Urs. ROMAN ROSIEK Roman was born at a civilized age in the beautiful country of Poland. He came to Oshawa in the 60 ' s and found himself by mistake at M. C.V.I, (lost his way I guess) Since being enrolled he has become one of the honour students in the technical department. His hobbies are: blowing out fuses and cooking transformers in the electric shop. CRAIG RUSSELL Craig has been to two other schools but has chosen M.C.V. I. as h is final dwelling. His interests besides girls are cars and boats. He hopes to com- plete his final year here and plans for the future are still undecided. DOUG SMITH In nineteen hundred and forty- six Reincarnation was Doug Smith ' s fix. I don ' t know what he was before, He ' s a beatnick now and for ever more. A beard he grows, the reason why I do not know nor care to try. I ' ve found the reason for the tie, In it he carries a vial of rye. He takes a snort twice a day. ' It keeps me happy, I ' ve heard him say. HARRY WELDON Early in life, Harry decided work wasn ' t for him; he hasn ' t changed. His wit, a despair to Mr. A., is a delight to us all. Harry ' s or Henry as he is sometimes called, favourite pastime - contradicting our illustrious teachers. In the event that his malady is cured, it ' s Ryerson and more teachers for him. 27
