Shiek, as his more intimate friends call him, was the cap- able assistant Manager of this year's Maclier Cup Champion Football Team. Hockey was his best sport at HX . The llot Stove League of interclass hockey will not forget his flerculean feat of nine goals in one game. Big things come in small packages and we know that Sammy has within him 'Athat something extra necessary for the success which the world has in store for him. Arts faculty. tlfdegrees were given in the sports field, Marty' would have done all rightl. He has been a member of the Varsity football team, and did a tremendous job between the pipes in Varsity lfockey. He has his X in both sports. This year, '49-50 he was manager ofthe Varsity football and intermediate football for the remainder of the rugby season and he was a re- feree in the A. P. C. League. Not all lVlarty's activities are centered around sports, as he finds ample time to study and take an interest in other campus activities. fle has been a member of the Prom-committee and las the Frosh describes him? that big gruesome looking guy on the 1'1z1'll'al1'1zy committee. A swell guy to know, an all round good sport, we look forward to having him back with us next year, as Wlarty's plans include post-graduate work in Educa- tion. ALBERT LEUNARD MacKINNON Sydney, N. S. Uoc,,' a graduate from Sydney Academy, was lifted to the train and fell off at Antigonish in September of 717. Now, after four years of hard work, he can climb on the train himself, and will do so this spring with an Arts degree to boot. A little fellow, Doc has not let this interfere with his activities at College. ln sports, he played a stenuous game at interclass hockey and intra- mural basketball. Noted for his chest expansion, Doc has broken more than one measuring tapeg he grew in proportions, no doubt, through the wonder- fully balanced meals which he could be seen carting to the various dining tables as one of the best waiters of the whole crew. That he is no slouch is proven by the fact that he majors in Philosophy and plans post-graduate work along this line. To a ood sport ind a humorous friend, we say 'so-long,' and wish Q g 3 a him the best of luck in his future plans. FRANCIS BUD MacLEAN Everett, Massachusetts.
