Born and brought up in Cape Breton, lohn proved himself an energetic student. The strong silent L'il Abner type, he has absolutely no use for women and is a keen follower ofthe comic strips! llis interests are mostly academic and he pursues Philosophy as his major subject--'his only divergence from the comic strip herol But in all sincerity, he is ofa quiet nature, poised and entirely independent and our regret is that we have seen all too little of him about the campus in the four years during which he has been a student here. lohn's plans for the future are indefinite, but whatever he cl1,mse.s, xve're sure he'll make a go of it. NVe wish him SUCCC SS. RAYMOND CAMPBELL Sydney, N. S. DENNIS M. CAMPBELL Sydney, N. S. A loyal son of Sydney Academy. Dennis first came to St, F. X. in '45.
