a A4 mi . JENNIE MARGOLIS Another late-slip collector. G. Bernard Shaw’s admirer. But competing with Shaw is a Daniel Mac student. Favorite saying, “Wait until the examiners mark my English paper In June. SAM MINUK Watch out! Here comes the all- star centre, Sam Minuk. Why the rush? He’s late for the third time today. It seems he manages to meet that certain train on time. MARGARET MOORE Margaret is always seen, seldom heard. A swell classmate, par¬ ticipates in all sports activities. MANUEL MORREY Manuel is one of those socialites who are always thinking of par¬ ties. Don’t get us wrong. He ' s Room 29’s industrious social chairman. His boogie-woogie at the piano is an asset at our socials. RUTH NITIKMAN An excellent student; pleasing personality. Another blessing to the teachers. She not only asks all the questions but also an¬ swers them. An authority on Electra, the psychological phe¬ nomenon. MARY NIVEN Room 29’s contribution to the senior volleyball and basketball teams. Mary adds to the number of beauties in the room. Her charming personality makes her a friend of all. BETTY ROMANEK Our efficient commercial stu¬ dent. Betty’s vitality and bub¬ bling spirits carried throughout the school. Of course she car¬ ries it herself for she’s a very busy girl with all her steno- graphical chores. XI-15 NEIL ALMDAL, Neil has a terrific time repelling attacks from some of our ener¬ getic females. Tall and hand¬ some, he hasn’t shaved yet, — he keeps the girls singing “Over the Waves.” MYRTLE BALDOCK Myrtle, alias “the Angel,” fun- loving, and always happy, gives us an “A” morale. Wonder if she knows all the words to “There’s a Long, Long Trail A-winding,” — all the way from Middleehurch. Page Eighteen BILL SPIVAK Room 29’s “Big Boy.” He’s tall, fair and has beautiful curly hair—the envy of all. Although Bill is a regular attendant at school he has many extra-cur¬ ricular activities, the chief of them being snooker, pool and billiards. IRENE SPRINGMAN One of the intelligentsia of the class. Irene can also be cate- goried in the vim, vigor, vital¬ ity and versatility class. Irene was one of the school’s lady curlers. BARBARA SISLER She swims like a fish. An un¬ usual fish, for as soon as her pond freezes she solves her problem by donning her skates and then she’s off to the speed¬ skating races. GEORGE TOUGH Not as tough as he looks. Great¬ est blow he could have reigned was his donation to Mr. Johns¬ ton of a set of Physics ques¬ tions. ADELINE WDOVIAK Take a pair of sparkling eyes; take a pair of rosy lips; take a figure trimly planned such as admiration whets; add charm, sincerity, brains, and industry, and you have L’il Ad. EDDIE ZULKOWSKI ‘Penzance’s” Sergeant of Police. The best Mabel we have heard. A dual character indeed. Eddie’s the long-hair type. Future: Wagnerian roles at the Met. XI-15 VERNON BATES, Vern is our silent ambitious classic fan. His theme is “Po¬ lonaise.” But boogie? Natch! Best follow-up for Ray Milland we know. Watch out, McGill, here he comes. BILL BROWNSTONE Bill is never late. “It’s only 8:66!” His subtle humour ranks him high in class appreciation. Likes hockey best, in sports. Destiny? Ask Bill. BILL CAMPBELL Bill goes to school so he can disappear at 1 p.m. Enjoys classic hair-dos, and “Nordic” profiles. “Scots Wha He for Wallace Bled,” Campbell’s sell¬ ing plasma.

VIRGINIA DANCHUK First in beauty, first in brain, but last in the room at nine A.M. MOSES DIMENTBERG In school this young man’s fancy turns to what most kids turn to near the end of June—namely work. We recently uncovered a sense of humor that he has been hoarding away. CECIL FELDMAN Cecil is well equipped to assume grave responsibilities. Ultimate fate: funeral director. Like a battery he is everready with a joke. HARRY FENSON You would never say that Harry isn’t a good student and a popu¬ lar kid. (You wouldn’t because Harry is bigger than you). MAURICE FRANKEL Maurice has the right approach to school—he doesn’t approach it. When he does he favors chemistry and Air Cadets. PATRICIA GOLDEN Pat can do wonders at the key¬ board, but she admits that at school she’s all “Maxed” up. PHYLLIS GORELICK Phyllis almost went nuts trying to have the last words with her echo. Ambition: to teach and Hope: to marry. MIKE HEIMBACK Mike has achieved a degree of notoriety by the simple process of keeping quiet and working. ROSS HENDERSON Ross’s appetite must be in some way connected with the enor¬ mous amount of energy he pos¬ sesses. He is a rugby player, curler, track star, co-editor of the Torch, brilliant student and opera lead. NORMAN HILL President of the school, presi¬ dent of the class (?), captain of the rugby team, basketball, hockey and baseball player, cur¬ ler, golfer, singer, scholar, poet and kibitzer de-e-luxe. ALICE HOGG The only serious reflecting Alice does is when she is before a mirror, but there, of course, she has something to reflect upon. MAX JACOBSON An example of the virtues of homework and study. Mac is making his first million by drawing inflationary wages from the C.O.T.C. (5c per hour.) MAX KLEIN Alias “Frederick” (Pirates of Penzance). Our dashing, ro¬ mantic tenor. We know that piano lessons are necessary for a singer but Max, not more than two lessons a week. ARNICE KOZACK Chuna’s ambition is to become a teacher and from the way she has been teaching some of the students maths., no doubt she will make the grade. A good looking teacher, too. JULIUS LISTER Minuk’s shadow or vice versa. An unusual one, though, for he brings sunshine into the class. What wonderful philosophy on life he must have! Keeps a scrap book of late slips. RUTH JOY LOCKSHIN Beauty, brains (and a beast hidden somewhere). Joy felt a “moral duty” and would have rescued Frederick but the girls wouldn’t let her go. (They needed her in the soprano sec¬ tion.) WALTER LONE Strong, silent type. A blessing to all the teachers. Keeps the ball rolling in class with all his questions. Did we say silent? FAY MATLIN Our petite co-editor of the Tech Review. Also co-editor of the first term Tech’s Text. She has done a swell job. A remark overheard from one of Room 29’s boys, “She’s pretty.” Page Seventeen

KAZIMIR CHOPP Kazimir, alias Casey, used to dabble in radio until he took Physics and Chemistry. Gives vent to extra energy by playing Shot’nin Bread’ ' on his har¬ monica. Bet he’s a Drene boy. BERT COHEN Bert has the ambition of Na¬ poleon. He hopes to conquer University. Already the “Little Corporal” is a Flight Sargeant. His smile will do the rest. GERRY DAIEN Gerry, alias “Tootsie,” finds his main interest in electrical engi¬ neering and .... Fun-loving and good natured, he makes a fine friend. SAM DOLOVITCH Sam is best remembered by Mr. Allyson’s immortal words in the Chemistry class, “Sit down, Sam, we’ll hear you next week.” Time was when Sam had long hair. Now he bare-ly makes it. OREST EWANCHYSHYN Orest came all the way down from the frozen north (mush! mush!) so he could come to Tech. He takes it for better or for Arest. SIDNEY FLEISHER Sid is Commander-in-Chief of the Gorilla Forces (the Brush Bridage). and private caretaker of Room 15. He wears dark glasses in class, so he can look at the sun. Guess who! JOHN GOLEBIOSKI John is one of the practically ex-stinct quiet members of the class. If silence is golden, John can sure cash in. Even when the class roars, John chuckles. LEONARD (PORKY) GORDON Len, alias “Porky,” is another of our many humour—(?) ists. specializing in ad-libs, — and the rugby team. HERBERT HALPRIN Herb missed part of the term (lost week-end?) keeping com¬ pany with Scarlet Fever. Sports and sports clothes are his dish. His motto “Buy at Irwins.” BOB HLADY Bob is an air-power enthusiast, and finds it hard to keep his feet on the ground while his heart is in the sky. His smile and good nature make for many happy landings. SAM JURAVSKI Sam is best known for laughing at Bert’s jokes. Thrives on sports and kibitzing. “ ’Twas aspiration drove me on.” An A-l fine fellow. EDGAR KOMADOWSKI Edgar is the centre of fun in our room. His specialty is a free demonstration of the sleep¬ walking scene from Macbeth. His humour makes him every¬ body’s pal. PAT LARMON Pat is Jean’s bosom pal, and they make an insuperable pair (no grammatical error). Her most hateful task is trying to get through the lobby during the noon-hour riot. JOE LERNER Joe. alias “Shoulders,” is the hardest fellow in the room to get around (both ways). Be¬ tween operas he devotes his spare time to trying to preserve some peace in our room. (What peace?) LA VERNA LUCE LaVerne, Alias “Cuddles,” is Mr. Holmes’ best tease victim. She’s an able artist and did half the room write-ups. She exercises great charm on the less fair sex of our room. ALLEN MACKLIN Allen is Sam D’s personal at¬ torney and ally, and they make a tough team in argument. He’s a brush cut fan, with a great amount of personality. roy McDonald Roy is another boogie man. In between bowler hats he spends his time developing a physique. Right now he needs a pair of dumbells. (Any volunteers?) HARVEY McGHIE Our platter-clatter-happy boy! Collects most of his discs on a certa in Saturday program, but swears there’s no foul play. Doesn’t need a calendar, uses his watch. Page Nineteen
