Every camp- us has one and ours is Pipe Nunn, a product of Sydney Academy and a native ot' Wliitiiey Pier. He has participated actively in all house sports, was Presi- dent ot' the Camera Club in '48, was Xaverian reporter for two consecutive years, and has been on innumerable committees. This year, he was chosen to be the representative ot' X in the summer seminar in Europe. This no doubt will give the lad the needed experience necessary to quality for a posi- tion in some foreign University as a furrow-bound protessor of Social Sciences. His capacities are second to Nunn indeedl Noted for borrowing note, tsl his humour, his line, we hate to see him leave and as he does, we wish him the best ol' luck in everythingl 44
