IOHN F. CAMPBELL Nlabou, N. S. lohn came to St. F. X. from St. Ioseph's Convent and upon arrival enlisted in the Arts Course in IO-fo. 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.

Bill,another of the Saint lohn boys, came to us asa Freshman from St ,Vincent's Bays lligh School. Although of the quiet and unassuming type he always managed to crack down top marks in a history major. Bill became a member of Exokoi in his Sophomore year and has, ever since. been a faithful help to those who were in need ofa little extra tutoring, A real outdoor type, he favors all sports equally well and added his talent to intramural basketball and softball. So far he hasn't had much time for the fairer sex. As to the future, Bill is indefinite. but with his cheerful and friendly personality, we know Bill will be an asset to whatever profession he may choose. 3 0
