The forgotten Warden of Hart House, Joe McCulley, concluded the speeches and noted this year would see the iast of that strange species of organization man, The Engineering and Business Student. From this point on, the happy graduating class was faced with the dilema of where to go first. There was the band of Benny Louis and a bar in the Canadian Room, Bob Cringan and a bar in the Ontario Room and every course had a party with a bar in one part of the Hotel or another. Throughout the evening Eve Smith entertained in the Toronto Room with her pleasing piano and vocal stylings.

The toasts were brilliant. Metallurgist Ted Belman, toasted the University, Frank Collins superbly toasted the Faculty, Professor Father P. B. Hughes, toasted the ladies (with the help of the Ming dynasty) and Chancellor F. C. A. Jeanneret toasted the Graduating Class. Principal Moffat Woodside, Dean McLaughlin, our Marlene Metzger and Tony Simms replied eloquently. Awards were made by the Engineering Society to the Engineering Society, to
