7 orm PHILIP DODD: Phil played O ' Daniel in Billy Budd, stealing the show whenever he said his lines. He played Soccer at Right Guard (or whatever it was). Phil was 21 C in Cadets as well as Chief Organizer of the Winter Carnival. Taking his place behind a wheel this year in a Rambler, Phil found his true- love there, although at times, it didn ' t look as if things would pam out. Protecting himself from his playoff form-mates with his Defend-O, he managed to last the year, and we wish him the best of luck in Chemical Engineering. ROSS CAINE: Rosie again took charge of the bookworm club — house common room; sel¬ dom found not breaking up fights, Ross tool¬ ed around in a mean Wildcat. He dazzled the Commerce orientation group with his long- hidden and real classy wardrobe. BYRON DART: Almost learning the difference between black and white the hard way on his Xmas trip to Florida, By added light to the form this year (Zippo). Wheeling a good condition ' 53 Chev or Pontiac, Byron could often be seen, books in arm, blazing a path across the Red in mid-winter. Not sure of his future occupation, we wish our Ear Falls ex¬ port the best of luck. NOEil- EVOY: Rosie s left-hand man and official bouncer of the library, Noel con¬ centrated on his Academics this year and quietly let sports slip by the board. Keeping the back of the room under control at all times, was it Noel whom we heard saying all the time: “This is wise. 1 ’? TERRY FOLINSBEE: King Flea, ruler of Gra¬ ham s dorm, really showed us his stuff this year. Rising to the top of his class our Ein¬ stein cruised through Physics and Maths, with 90’s, and never turned on the sweat at exam-time. Seriously, though, Terry takes a great interest in things Mathematical and Scientific, and we know that he has a success¬ ful life ahead of him. Terry took up cards this year, and between fencing with Jack and theorizing out elementary relativity, he found time to sleep in the afternoons. 15

RICK MATTHEWS: Rick was a senior prefect, too, but found time to play hockey, House sports and football. Although at first he had trouble finding the right-sized helmet, once he was let loose on the football field, he became a real demon. Besides strumming his guitar at all hours of the night, he saw his headshrinker once a week for dream interpretations, played Ratcliffe in Billy Budd, and was RSM in Cadets. Despite Rick ' s broad strength, he suffers from chronic microce¬ phalia, but contrary to common belief, is not narrow-minded. But don ' t get in his way or you ' ll get ME ' ED. Best of luck in Law, Com¬ merce, Judo, weight-lifting etc. Remember its Quality, not Quantity”. PETER HUNTER: Snatch, the only boy in the form who had to tie a triple Windsor to keep from tripping, made up for his lack of size by packing a mean punch in the halls and on the football team. On October 31st, he became a super-hustler, and often his mind became a blick as he stared off into space thinking about his Barbie Doll. He played goal, guiding the senior hockey team to several wins, and he is a Dentistry man all the way. We hope that his walls at home are as interesting as those in his dorm. IAN BOULT: Stumpy-legs, still a Vauxhall man, sparked in football and combined with four other beef boys to give the school the heaviest defence in the league. You need that in hockey? A solid student, Ian finally got rid of his tan, and was all the Mary-er for it. Seldom tearing Germs, Blot was a great asset to the Sixth. RUSSELL BOURK: Another member of Amy ' s dapper dresser ' s club, Stoney and petite (PT) got on real well this year. Taking up football and holding down his old place as wing in hockey, Russ was one for a sporting life. Up bright and early every morning, Stoney shar¬ ed his interests equally between dorm clean¬ up and Out Scouts. Out of hand, this year Stoney found a real pearl ' . He was the 26th guy to sign for a dance ticket to the Winter Carnival. DAVID PURDY: Baby-Face Budd, the quintes- cence of innocence, made it into the Pre¬ fects ' Club this year. Dave took up several new interests, among them, football and girls. As a result of the latter, he has plans for going to McGill. One of the History boys, Rundy conducted a tour of Los Angeles dur¬ ing the Easter holidays, showing his com¬ panions true meat-market country. The ugly American is another brogue man, and plays a wicked game of basketball. He ' ll have to remember to watch himself near the end of term when the Yanqui posters go up in Hamber Hall. A patriotic man, the Stars and Stripes hang over his bed and . . . calm down Dave . . . we wish him the best in Commerce. 14

CLARK FRASER: Old King Cole was a merry old soul and many a joke cracked he. Clark had a part-time job at Labatt ' s this year, and kept the form intoxicated with laughter. Super-Detonater was the source of the explosive mirth which shot through the class this year, gunning people down in its path. On the football field, if there was a hole in the line big enough to drive a truck through — sure enough, there was Clark! Fizzer took a hand in House Soccer and sr. Basketball, as well as being CO in Cadets. Small wonder that he sometimes felt tired in classes. Best of luck in your usurpation of the Red Skelton Show, Clark. MICHAEL FOX: Foxy, the Yearbook Staff, slipped in a few crafty sentences here and there and adroitly endowing the Yearbook with sly quips and an adept imagination, our crafty editor did the Yearbook early and subtly slipped away to New York for the Easter Holidays. He managed to dodge the girls with finesse and thus keep up his busy schedule. A Soccer man, he aptly ground it out on the Eagle in mid-March and still came up with a good average. Have an expert time in Architecture when you get there Super-Renard. ALAN GRAHAM: Big Chief Graham Wafer, of the Early-Rising Tribe, counted coupon girls this year, frequently dating his squaw, Nancy. Al and Stoney were real good butties, often visiting the 4D together. Ugthorp did not just channel his literary talents to writ¬ ing essays for the Eagle this year, but also wrote a couple of letters for a deceased dorm-mate, rescuing him from his many ad¬ mirers. Al was the star of sr. Soccer, but didn ' t stop there, and pulled a few old In¬ jun tricks in House football, leading Young to a victory, and putting the Championship in the head-dress. Al, a true Nomad, now hails from Koostatak, and plans to return to the wilds after University to set up a practice as a Veterinarian. It will be hard parting from the blood brothers and the school he has so long been used to. “A feather in his hat.” RODGER LUCY: Last year, Rodger the Dodger considered the pen to be mightier than the sword, but since he took up fencing, he now thinks that the sword is a more effective weapon. (Foiled Again). As a rule, Rog ' hung out in the library, soaking up more history and boning up on his chess. He still hates Grade Eights, and if given another year, may even accept football despite its lack of bloodthirstiness. C jradi uatcs IAN HARTLEY: Coon came back to entertain us for his third year, but this time from Toronto, taking part in hockey, football and House sports. Spook prefers opposites, going in for blondes. Receiving the shaft of Cupid ' s arrow the first term, he found Zelda Zorch the second term and from then on it was Mover Hartley (ZZZZ) Ian just loves cool logical, intellectual arguments and was often seen calmly reasoning out his opinions in the Prefect ' s Common Room. Our ski-bum is going in for Architecture but if not, we wish him the best in Home, Sweet Africa.
