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

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.

o % 7 1 r 1 1 § -=r - W ‘So - i All 4 o 7 JOHN MELYNYK John makes good use of his brush cuts (Fleisher’s model). He plans to take up photography to forget Physics. His favorite place “Boston.” LORNE MENSFORTH. Junior The quiet (???) kid who suffers from Mauricitis jokitis. Also the fall guy for a certain femme fatale—for him. SHIRLEY MENSFORTH Shirley “Giggles” Mensforth, Senior, who never saw a double- yolked egg and lost money. Is that hair natural? FRED MOREFIELD Ah! ah! ah! temper! temper! At one time Fred had a very poor barber (or could it be barbers?) and the knickname “Bangs” resulted. CHARLES NOVATNY Charlie’s excuse for his daily excursions down to Eaton’s is that he has to put in time be¬ fore his bus comes. Maybe there’s another attraction! By the way, what happened to that mustache? JEAN OLENYK Congratulations. Jean, on the new addition to your family. Hark! the dogs do bark. A whiz at sports and especially sprint¬ ing and a firm believer in the Wijji Board. LESIA PANKIW It’s “Love, Love, Love,” for our poor henpecked Lesia. A cer¬ tain person persuaded her to reform, at least during school hours. KEN RERIE Ken seems to be doing his chemistry homework. Namely, testing the bleaching properties of F202. It seems to be getting him places, too! JOYCE RIDLEY The quiet little girl who seems to get around after school. Does a slow burn when a certain teacher tries to draw her from her shell. CHARLES ROSTOWSKI Tall, blond and handsome. Fa¬ vorite pastimes supporting our tobogganing parties, conjugat¬ ing German verbs in English period, and delivering a run¬ ning commentary on all re¬ marks passed. DOUG ROLLO The beau with the brush. Fa¬ vorite magazine “Calling All Girls,” favorite show “Bring On the Girls” (when showing at the “College”), favorite . . . girls. P.S.—He likes rugby, too. MAURICE ROSENBERG Seems to be interested in curl¬ ing and not the kind that in¬ cludes a broom and rock. Fa¬ vorite saying, “But. I wasn’t talking, Mr. Bailey!” CARL S PEI DEL Master with the paint and brush. Creator of our room crest (pass the smoked glasses, somebody!) Finds the shortage of bobby pins annoying. SHIRLEY STONE “Rocky” hates anybody named Mackenzie. Captain of the “Techettes” and Quiz Kid No. 1! Likes anything by Danny Kay or Freddie Martin. BOB TANNER Bob would make a good barber as he’s handy with the clippers, to the sorrow of an unhappy member of our class. Good at telling tall stories. MARY-BETTY TURNER Quiz Kid No. 1. We are all anxiously awaiting the day when Madame Counsellor erupts in French class and returns some of the barbs thrown her way. HELEN WATT “Ray! Ray! Ray’!’ New member of our class. Phil’s faithful pupil. Favorite song, “Put That Ring On My Finger!” PAUL ZAMICK Another addition from the armed forces to Room 15. Paul doesn’t believe in taking his holidays when he can. Maybe he got too many in the army. Page Twenty
