Page 2 �EDITORIAL But it also breeds apathy. Today in the Western should take a long, hard look at our political system and decide if it is the system or the operators of the system which have caused the apathy evident in nearly all democratic countries. Familiarity breeds contempt. world, we The philosophy of the Western well-being and safety to share in the responsibilities of running the government. This does not mean that all the individual should do is to vote and pay taxes, rather he should also become a living expression of the democratic ideal a man with liberty, but who wishes to promote theories of Democracy, the ascendant world, presuppose that man is interested enough political in his own — the interests of his society, even to the extent of sacrificing his own interests at times. Yet is not this supposition much too unrealistic? History has proven to us the bitter lesson that man, even at the height of his political sophistication, has not even by the faith of democracy. come close to the bright ideals, presupposed The advocates of democracy often advance the argument that it is democracy and that this alone is justification for its initiation in a country. This that people want, argument seems wholly illogical and ridiculous, especially when one considers the unusual and often immoral things which people want, and yet this desire for these things has certainly never been used as justification for their adoption. Do people really want democracy? NO. It expects too much from the common citizen. People are basically disgustingly materialistic. So long as people have satisfactory homes, good jobs and some leisure time, they care little for the high-flown phrases and glowing idealism of our well meaning democrats. And since most people find it almost impossible to fulfill their material designs by a strict adherence to the theories of democracy they abandon their God-given obligations, and resort to barbaric, and often cave-man like techniques to achieve their ambitions. A moral degeneration occurs, in the form of political apathy and a withdrawal from the responsibilities of citizenship. This conclusion is derived not from the idle imaginings of a non-voter and non-participant in the processes of democratic living, but from the dillusioning evidence of actual life. The inhuman coldness of statistics tell us that in Canada and the United States, the average vote in any election, hardly ever rises above 65%. And, if one could by some magical process subtract from this percentage those voters who are totally unqualified to vote or who care little for this obligation, the final percentage would undoubtedly be depressingly And not only is apathy apparent in the inconclusive matter of voting statistics, but also in almost every other field of responsibility and citizenship. It might then be argued that the people would care just as well for a despot so long as he satisfied their material aims. Unfortunately, this seems to be the only logical conclusion to be drawn from the present situation. Although it seems almost inconceivable that people would willingly allow themselves to be deprived of their liberty and benefits of a free country, it seems that one can arrive only at this unhappy conclusion. low.

We, of the staff, will follow your progress with interest and anticipation and we wish you Godspeed. need not remind you that there are critical and challenging years ahead. Many have expressed the view that in our struggle to make life better materially, we have concentrated on material things so long, that we have become obsessed by them. Now that we have achieved them, we want to enjoy them. There has been a tendency to carry this same attitude into our educational system. There is a feeling in high schools that students should, above all, enjoy themselves and after graduation fit into this comI sociologists fortable, static society. I believe, however, that this attitude is changing. Parents and students are beginning to realize that there is a hard struggle ahead and we must prepare for it. The feeling of urgency is heightened by the lively public interest in our educational system. As you go out to take your place in society and our problems. You you will inherit both our material are graduating at a time when the world com- with opportunity but plagued by anxiety.

FRED BODNAR— Fort William William's contribution to the photographic life of the College, Fred took many of the pictures seen in the candid snapshot section of the Nor'wester. A boy with sunny disposition, Fred always seems to be playing a practical joke on someone.

Wherever Gayle goes next year, she assures me that she won't include geology in her course. Page 16 �JIM One FERGUSON — Fort William of the three potential accountants in the Arts faculty, Jim nevertheless dislikes those late Commerce classes. Jim travels in his own "bomb," and hasn't missed a class yet (well, hardly any!). Easy-going and even-tempered, Jim makes a good "dummy" in bridge games in the BEVERLY GAMMOND — Common Room. Slate River Another of the triumvirate hailing from the halls of F.W.C.I., Bev drives in to school each day from her home in Slate River. Her hard-working nature should help her to continue her chosen career either at Queen's or at Teachers' College. Among her interests, Bev enjoys skating parties and hockey games. We wish her the best of luck in the future. SUSAN GREER — Fort William Hailing from the busy metropolis of Fort William, Sue is a top swimmer, curls, plays badminton, and comes in handy as a fourth in bridge.

Maurice seems likely to do well in the future. Page 17 �CLARENCE JACOBSEN— Port Artnur Jake has acquired a bad habit of walking out of Economics classes. His interests are somewhat of a mystery but it has been rumoured that he has been seen in the local taverns. (What other interests do you need?). Jake says that his future is still undecided, but we hope he will enter the writing profession. Some of his essays are works of genius.

STEVE KOVANCHUCK — Fort William One of the College's best curlers, Steve also plays basketball for the Fort William Canucks in the Inter-City League. Steve is a very studious worker, and we are sure that he will do well in the Business Administration course that he plans to take next year at Western University. Steve is also an expert in the art of playing bridge. Page 18 �WALTER KWASNY — Fort William Once again, Walt is playing a stellar game at guard for the high-flying Court Kings. As his girl is in Hamilton, Walt is studying with great diligence, and should have no difficulty in graduating from the College this year. On weekends Walt can be seen touring the city in his Plymouth with his smiling compatriot, Chuck.

NEIL McLEOD — Fort William one of our all-round sportsmen at the College. He skis, curls, Neil was also one of the College debaters that went to Duluth. (Need more be said?). Neil is often kidded by a certain red-head about buying a teddy bear in Duluth for Sally. Even-tempered, he is an Arts representative to the S. A. C. At the moment, Neil plans to attend Manitoba to pursue a scientific field. Neil is plays football and hockey.

She will probably end up as the proprietress of Port Arthur's first date bureau. WALTER POSHTAR — Fort William Walter, a renegade from the fair city of F. W., has an affinity for '58 Chevies. Wally has an amusing disposition and a bathtub full of interesting (?) anecdotes. Walt's oratory has gained him a place on the common-room soap-box, from where he acquaints us with his cosmopolitan ideas. His clerical work in the past should stand him in good stead in the future. HAROLD PRIMMER — Kenora Harold is a very conscientious student who hails from Kenora where he enjoys an outdoor life. He is taking his first year Pharmacy here and then plans to complete his course at the University of Toronto. Women? Yes. Harold is engaged to a beautiful nurse by the name of Joan Penner. People?

Although Barry is an unknown quantity as far as marks are concerned, he always presents an intellectual interest in class. He is also interested in photography, (or is it the darkroom that he is more interested in?). Chem problems and practical jokers are this man's peeves, (please take note, Fred!). JERRY SKEA — Fort William activities include sailing, skiing and Marlene. He gets very good marks which should stand him in good stead when he takes up dentistry at the University of Toronto next year. In his roaring Buick, Jerrys' Jerry is the friend of all hitch-hikers at this fair institution. He may often be seen discussing some weighty subject with his cronies, Buddy and Clay.

A racing enthusiast, he likes to see who is the first one down at the New "O." Although somewhat unpredictable, Ken is very well liked at the school.

High grades and Al seem to go hand in hand and being a Finn, naturally Al is a swell guy with lots — of friends. FRANKOW— BOB Port Arthur Bob's interests are motorcycles and girls. An energetic man, Bob never stays in one place long except when playing checkers, a game in which he has a fair amount of skill. Bob is a member of the Lakehead Motorcycle Club and takes part in all of their activities (?????). Page 27 �JIM HARNETT— Port Arthur "Mr. Sportsman" here at the College, Jim is a hockey, baseball, broomball and basketball fiend. His extra-curricular activities consist of ivory banging, dancing and poker. Jim is on the Athletic Council and was one of the broomball organizers. Despite what people may think, Jim also excels in the classroom. GORDON JACKSON— Port Little Gord worked for the Arthur Lawrence Corporation before St. deciding to continue his education. Gordon is a diligent student and is working hard to make the most of his time. Before the year is over, maybe Gord will take Harnett up on the bet they've been talking about; we think Gord will win. GARY JESSIMAN— Fort William Without Gary's great physical effort, Ross' car(?) would never go. His marks prove he has a F.W.CI.-educated brain. The boys of Eng.

Ken is a pipeliner from way back as he has had four years experience working on the pipeline. Ken's ambition is to complete his two years at the College and then go into pipeline engineering.

His activities include broomball and hockey. His Ron ambition is to become an Al engineer and build cocktail bars for his dad. BARRY LYONS— Port Arthur 'The Gumper' is a local boy and the philosopher of the engineering class. He can be heard expounding his views in the common room, and his constant advice is: "Don't cry over spilt milk." With all these theories, we often wonder why Barry, alias he ever chose to be an engineer. MURPHY— Port Arthur FRANK "Flashbug" is responsible for many of the pictures in this book. Frank curls and enjoys the mixed curling especially since the Another of Frank's favourite pastimes is nurses are involved. sneaking up behind a car and while passing, giving a 'beep, beep' with his Nash Rambler horn.

The explosive in the bomb was a single pound of amatol, which would be quite sufficient to blast the car to bits. Peter worked swiftly and deftly and soon had the bomb well fastened on. Then he carefully set the time mechanism for 9:10 the following morning.

He dreamed about his being introduced into the Russian Anti-Communist League by one of his friends who also had recently been made a member. Peter's becoming a member of the society gave them their chance to try an experiment. As Peter was single and had no living relatives in Russia and had access to the commissar of Minsk's private auto, it was decided that he would place a bomb in the car. At first Peter was hesitant to undertake this chore because if he failed and was caught, he would be speedily executed. He liked living as well as did the next man and it took some fast persuading by the members of the League before he would give in. bomb in the car, he was constantly in fear of being discovLeague was busy obtaining for him a travel permit, money and a train ticket by which he could skip the country.

With due caution they covered their own trail behind them so that they could continue after Peter had gone. Until Peter placed the ered. While Peter fretted, the Page 87 �Then one day they learned that on the morning of the fourteenth the commissar was leaving for Moscow on official business. As the car would have to be prepared for its trip by Peter, it was decided that the time had come for the bomb to be put into place. So that is why Peter was now on his way to Berlin. In the morning about the time Peter was leaving the train on the Polish-German border to continue on foot, the commissar's driver was taking the car from the garage and was parking it before the house. He never heard the ticking of the bomb that would spell out death for him and the commissar in about a half an hour. Precisely at nine o'clock the commissar came out of the house followed by his servant carrying the bags which were placed quickly and efficiently in the trunk. few moments later the car shot away towards the outskirts of town. A At nine-ten the car was passing through the last of the houses of Minsk when it erupted with a sheet of flame and a deafening roar. Several peasants who had been observing the passing of the car stared dumbfoundedly at the smoldering heap which a few seconds before had been a car. The first part of the mission had just been accomplished. Meanwhile, Peter was walking through the German forest west of the Polish border trying to put as much distance between him and Minsk as possible. He knew that by now the bomb had fired and in less than an hour an intensive search would have been started for him. checking his map he found that he was less than a mile from the autobahn to be met and driven the last sixty miles to Berlin. He had twenty minutes to make the rendezvous which was at 9:40. It had been calculated that by 10:30 Berlin would have been notified and it would be almost impossible for him to get past the city's check points. Upon where he was At 9:40 up to pulled and clambered hair, from the cover of the forest just as a Volkswagen where he emerged. Peter dashed up to the car The car shot off the moment the door closed behind him. precisely he broke a halt opposite the point in. Peter turned and viewed the driver, a young man of about twenty-five, with blond blue eyes and a fair complexion. He was quite a contrast to Peter who had coal black hair, brown, almost black eyes, and a dark scarred face which was a result of a bomb burst on his bunker back in the During the though Peter Russian.

Peter's companion looked as though he had done this a thousand times before and soon they were passed through without It outskirts of Berlin, the least bit of trouble. The small car shot on into the city and soon passed through the new section of the city that had been rebuilt since the war. The car was forced to slow down when it came to the portion of the city that had not been rebuilt and was still in the same state that it had been when the last of the allied bombing raids had gone. It was several minutes later when the car pulled to a halt before a partially wrecked building, blew allowing them entry. its horn once, and a portion of the building's wall swung away When the car was in, the wall closed and Peter and the driver got out.

Then all you have to do is take a stroll into the western zone where you will be met by some of our men who will conduct you to the British Embassy where you will apply for political refuge. There will be no need to fear the Western guards at the second gate twenty yards past the Russians, for they have been alerted to let you through.

He walked slowly towards the guards who were now standing nervously at attention. He was nervously fingering the hand grenade with the pin now out.

All the guards did was stare They were so at the grenade for the second before it went off and cut them down. astonished that their nerves never had a chance to galvanize them into action. Peter got up from his safety and sprinted through to the western side. As he had been told, the western guards never bothered him.

I ventured quite blindly into this undertaking, and with experience gained the hard way, have tried to produce a book that would be a credit to the inaugural year of the Lakehead College. Does everyone realize that we are the initial group of an institution that has just on the long path towards a bright future? The opening of a Junior College in the Lakehead may well be the first step in establishing a University at the "Head of started the Lakes." The enrollment this year, that the need for a college such as the double that of last year is unquestionable proof Lakehead College was acute. Northwestern Ontario High School Graduates had to travel at least from home to continue their studies should have been appreciated by those concerned a long time ago. It was this factor, plus many others, that finally brought this matter to the attention of the right people. It can also be said that many of those that have been interested in the introduction of a college at the Lakehead really had a battle on their hands to convince those that held the bag that the need was there. The fact that a thousand miles Now that the seed has been sown, perhaps the next step Junior College into a University. is the growth of our As a second year Technical Mining student, I am leaving the Lakehead with fond memories of the old Lakehead Technical Institute and the new Lakehead College. I feel fortunate that circumstances have brought me here from the East to continue my studies. I will always remember these last two years as a student of the old and the new. They have been two great years. editing of this book has been made relatively simple due to the cooperation have received from many students. The book was late in getting started, and as a the deadlines were upon us almost as soon as we began. The that I result, To state a few of the initial problems that we met, there was first, the banking, then an advertising campaign, and the general finding out of how the production of a yearbook is handled. I appreciate the experience this has given me. Then followed the work of gathering material, photography, etc. and etc. I was fortunate to have a few other people interested enough in helping me iron out these problems. Even though my comments feel it is my should deal only with the organizing and publishing privilege to say, on behalf of all the student body, a hearty wish of good luck to Mr. Page. For those who did not know, he is going on to the University of Minnesota to get his Doctor of Philosophy degree in Geology. I hope that the Lakehead College will regain the use of his advanced studies on completion of this yearbook, I of his course.

Harold S. Principal Page 4 Braun �THE NEW COLLEGE The Lakehead College of Arts, Science and Technology officially opened on October 2nd, 1957. Previous to this date, many students throughout the province and beyond had received letters of acceptance from the principal of the College, stating that registration would take place on Monday, September 18th, at the new building located off the Oliver Road across from the cemetery. On registration day, many new faces were seen on the campus. Students were directed to the various teachers situated around the new common room. Approximately one hundred and thirty-five students enrolled on Monday and Tuesday, as well as about fifty part-time students. In the library, students could be seen buying armfuls of text books and school laboratory supplies throughout these days. Lecrures opened for the full time students at 9:55 Wednesday morning, following an assembly in Room 2, conducted by Mr. Braun to help the students become acquainted wirh the rules and regulations of the College. Since our college had only been built, the laboratories on the second floor were not completed when the lectures began. Until a month or so after lectures commenced, only four lecture rooms, plus a few chairs in the common room, were available to the students. October 2nd was declared a holiday for the college students to attend the opening of the new Lakehead College of Arts, Science and Technology. To have date, half of the school year left here, although the College is official completed. A few students from various faculties has an enrollment of over a hundred and ten still students. As the college will grow in size, the student body will grow, even in the percentage This year, the College only has five girls, one in Technical Division and four in the Arts faculty. School sports will also increase, and will get even better response from the student body, although over sixty-five percent of the students now participate in them. The social life at the school is still in full swing. However, this of girls. will slowly slacken as the examinations So far, draw nearer. the College has had a very successful year in everything.

The students elect the person they feel will aptly represent them with character, deportment and ability. He must be willing to assume the responsibilities that they do not wish to assume themselves. The pleasant part is in knowing that, of those who elected you, there are many on whom you can rely to render every assistance to make the job enjoyable. was with great pride that I assumed this position for 1957-58. When my fellow felt that I would fill this most important position to their satisfaction was indeed a proud moment for me. To be the first President in the new College is something upon which I will reflect for many years. It students This year has marked a milestone in the progress of our institute. From having two or three parties per year at a local club, we have been able to expand to many dances at the school plus our traditional club parties. The club parties were a success and all concerned had a good time. The school dances, although not supported to the full extent, proved to be a starting point for more parties in the future years. The students this year did not realize that these paries were for all the student body, and whether or not they attended these functions, the non-participants helped pay for the others. to restrict our social activities to We numbers but in thought. Already we seem to There seems to be a two way criss-cross, three way split, the facilities versus each other and also Fort Bill against Port Art versus out of town. These groups would be fine if it were just to outdo each other, but detrimental if they tried to depreciate other group functions. There are some detrimental rivalries already between these clans. The proof of this is, that if one sponsors a dance, the majority clans, namely Fort William and the Engineers, do not always support, with the result that only a select group shows up every time. have must be growing not only fraternities, or should I in say, clans. Some mention of appreciation should go out to Richard Heale and Bob Nash.

The executive and reprewere very cooperative and willing to tackle anything themselves, but usually only the Technical group gave support to their reps. At this time, I would like to thank our five wonderful girls who pitched in and helped us every time there was some decorating or organizing that needed doing.

He stood thousands of feet high, a giant and monarch, chief of earth and sea. He wooed "and won a dusky maiden. She was young and beautiful, tall like himself, and her foot was as fleet as the frightened deer. Her tresses were like the raven's wings and her eyes as bright as dew drops. Her voice was as soft as the music of the mountain brook and she was as joyous as a bird and as lovely as a summer day. By the lake side in a rocky cave they dwelt for Ojibways and all the other powerful Indian Nan's descendants. The old warrior was fond of fishing, two thousand years, and the Lake Superior district were tribes of the and it was his wont to lake swinging a large hemlock tree for a club to drive the fish before walk through the him out lake to Sault Ste. Marie, where his faithful wife stood and caught them. This into the was fine angling. Years rolled on until one fine day the old squaw lost her cunning and all the fish Nana drove before him passed her and swam into Lake Huran, and the old giant, hungry and relentless in his rage, killed his good wife with his club, and her poor lifeless body floated down upon the shore of Lake Huron, where it can be seen unto this day, a cape known as the Old Squaw, or Nana's Wife. that When Nana saw what he by name and talked of agonizing despair he raved and tent in fear of the Great Spirit's his wife had done he was afraid and could not rest. He called love. In vain he sought the Great Spirit for rest and in tore his hair. Nana was penitent and sorrowful; penianger and sorrowful in the loss of his wife's companion- ship. He wandered from his home out upon the prairies and far over the mountains, seeking forgetfulness and rest when, lo, he heard the loud cannonading of bursting boulders, and saw huge rocks high in the air. He heard fearful hissing of escaping gas and steam, and felt the suffocation of many obnoxious odors. The crimson heavens rained rocks, lava and ashes, whilst amid the clashing perils of thunder and the red lightning's fitful glare, the earth shook the volcanic and trembled from the awful groaning roar of fires. The Great Spirit was angry with Nana and he fled away, swifter than the eagles back to his Lake Superior home, where he heard his wife's voice calling to him and beheld her streaming eyes so wild in fear, so sad in their imploring look, beseeching him to stay the cruel blow. He heard her death cry in the passionate sounds of the winds. Retribution was overtaking him. He walked once more in Thunder Bay and then, in agony of remorse and despairing anquish, Nana laid himself down and died of a broken heart. fly, Page 7 �— FACULTY MEMBERS V*. H. S.

They would have to put Psychology and Economics both from 4:30 to 6:00 on Mondays and Thursdays! Nevertheless, the only available solution was to alternate classes, exchanging notes at the end of each lecture. This has proved rather frustrating, especially when it ends up that both of us attend the same lecture at the same time. Not only do we do this, but we also fit three Accounting lectures into one solid, two and a half hour evening stretch. Oh, the joys of being a Commerce man! All in all, this year has proved itself very enjoyable, and we leave the College for the coast carrying fond memories of a year well spent. PHARMACY The origin of pharmacy is lost in the mists of time. Scientists have collected evidence to show that pharmacy of a kind was practiced at least 4500 years ago. It was then intermingled with the practice of medicine, both being abounded by magic, quackery and superstition. With fading of centuries, chemistry gradually replaced witchcraft until finally medicine and pharmacy were established into separate professions. Today, pharmacy embraces a variety of occupations, including the retail macist, hospital pharmacist, analytical pharmaceutical chemist, pharmacist in the and research worker, services, teacher, as well as a number phar- armed of positions in pharmaceu- tical industry. The modern pharmacist has one of the broadest scientific backgrounds of the health have a knowledge of all of the many processes of manufacturing pharmacy, since many of his modern-day prescription requests are filled from stocks manufactured in factories. However, even in this modern age, the pharmacist himself is still required to prepare medicines of all types. Before he dispenses any material, he must be sure that it is correctly labelled and that it is of the required standard and quality. He must be trained, therefore, to examine, if necessary, his raw material by chemical or microscopic means. Thus, he is more than merely a dispenser, he is also a chemist, and upon occasion, an analyst. services. He must Courses in Pharmacy, leading to the Bachelor and Master of Science degrees are offered in eight Canadian universities. Although only two students are presently enrolled in this course at the Lakehead College, interest in this field will be keener with the expansion of the College in the near future. Pharmacy way for is a dynamic and expanding in medicine field in which new drugs are paving the an entirely new era Tamara Anderson Page 29 �TECHNICAL CHEMISTRY I year of the Technical Chemistry course is offered at the College.

Those interested in health laboratory work may spend one more year at the Provincial Laboratories in Toronto. The Ryerson course of one additional year enables the graduate to work on atomic, government or industrial research projects. At the College this year, there are five students enrolled in this course. One of our number plans to go on to the Provincial Laboratory, while the remaining four hope to go to the Ryerson Institute of Technology.

There we were under the supervision of our instructor and also the second year students. The purpose of these trips was to gain a basic knowledge of forest cruising. The cold winter months have been spent in the classroom. However, pleasant breaks in the routine were provided by guest lecturers. Representatives of the local forest industries and associations have given some very enlightening talks on many different aspects of forestry. Interesting films, slides, and periodic afternoon excursions, have all served to make this an enjoyable and profitable year. Russel Hall TECHNICAL MINING The term I got underway on September 18, with the next thirty days being rather quiet, while the ten miners, representing places in Ontario, as well as the Lakehead, got to know one Manitoba, Northern and Southern another and the routine of the college. After the thirty day period of induction, we set out on our field trip with Mr. Page. two cold rainy weeks, during which time we travelled west as far as Pigeon River where a newly found deposit of pyrrhotite was being worked; and as far east as the Willroy Mine at Manitouwadge where we were shown the complete workings The trip lasted of the mine and As well townsite. memories that will never be forgotten, the field trip served with minerals, various geological formations and a few other situations that miners are bound to face some time or other in their career. as leaving us to familiarize us The remainder of the fall term passed very quickly with everyone enjoying equal work and fun.

This small class gives a greater opportunity for the students to receive more personal attention. During the course of the year, the boys were fortunate to attend two one-week trips camps and to watch the logging operations of the different pulp and paper companies in the district. They were also able to take in numerous guided tours of local paper mills and company woodlands' offices. Shortly after the opening of the first term, each of the boys attended a two-week scaler's course at Long Lac, Ontario. The course was sponsored by the Department of Lands and Forests and each of the students was to tour the successful in obtaining his scaler's license. second year students took the first year boys The majority of the forestry lectures have been used to compile this cruise and to prepare tables, maps and a management plan for the area. Immediately following on a two-week this course, the cruise in the Institute Forest, north of Trout Lake. On completion of the course, each boy, formed his own idea on what his future would be. Two of the fellows hope to go into jobs with the forestry department of pulp and paper companies. One student hopes to work with the Department of Lands and Forests, and our fourth faculty member will attend the University of New Brunswick forestry course. Brian Robinson Technical Mining 11 This, our graduating year, has been another interesting and educational one for us. The field trips are the highlight of the technical courses. On our first field trip to Manitouwadge, we were accompanied by the first year Miners. As host, Wilroy mines provided us with good food and accommodation. The main object of our trip was a tour of the mine and mill, which turned out to be very interesting. In keeping with tradition, our two evenings were very eventful, especially for two second year boys. Poker was the chief pastime and, strangely enough, the first year boys proved to have what it takes, that is, except for one who couldn't eat for two days. Geraldton is a town with very few recreational facilities, so after arriving in the evening, our weary group congregated over a little and exchanged delightful stories until flickering the beginning of our second field trip. round table marked with water rings ushered our departure.

PART TIME STUDENTS As the four o'clock bell rings in many elementary schools at the Lakehead, we would find pupils leaving the confines of the school, glad that another day has come to an end. However, many of their teachers are getting ready to go to school themselves. If we were to look in on them, we would see them hurriedly gathering their books and accessories and dashing out to catch that ride to the new Lakehead College. The teachers not only interested in educating their pupils, but are striving to education by participating in the various extension courses offered at the College. A great many of the "part-time students" have some courses to their credit already and are working ahead in quest of a Bachelor of Arts degree. A maximum of two courses can be studied during the winter and a great many Lakehead teachers head down East in the summer to attend summer sessions at various universities and to study additional subjects. concerned in this are further their own A variety of courses is always offered at the Lakehead and this year included Elementary Psychology, French, Economics, History and Botany. Lectures commence at 4:30 and sometimes last well on to 6:00. The sessions for the "part-time students" began in early October and terminated in mid- April with a final exam. The enrollment this year is very good and all indications point to a better one next year. It is nice to get away in the summer time and take a holiday but we think a great majority of the teachers participating in these courses would favour a summer school at the Lakehead held in the beautiful new college.

The student nurses from the General Hospital were invited, in order to get the boys from out of town acquainted with some of the Lakehead girls. The afternoons turned out to be quite successful, although I don't think the bowling was up to par. On October 25, the first common room was decorated orchestra.

These dances were not too well attended, but those who did turn out, enjoyed themselves. On November 28, a Dinner-Dance was held at the Club Seaway in Fort William. After a hot dinner, Dr. Miller, alias Captain Blythe, presented our champion mousecatcher, Bob Walterson with the supreme award the golden mouse trap. Tommy — Laprade and his orchestra was on hand with the music. It seems as if everyone was prepared to spend the night dancing, but around 2 A.M. the management politely asked us to leave. Although reluctant to end such a wonderful evening, we gave in and departed. To get the new year off to a good start, a dance was held in the common room on January 17 with the Swing Kings supplying their talents. There was a good turnout and everyone enjoyed himself. On January 31, "La Premiere Dance" was held. For this occasion all the senior grades of the local high school were invited. Although there weren't too many of the high school students present we had an excellent turnout of our own student body. Dancing was to the music of the Jesters. Prior to the dance, the Forestry and Mining students gave short talks on their respective vocations. The Artsmen, not to be outdone by the Foresters, held a stag of their own at Dave Crane's house in Fort William. The evening was highlighted by a very interesting discussion headed by Dr. Miller and Mr. Page. The rest of the evening was taken up with general chit-chat, singing and card games. The annual Mid-Winter Formal was held on February 21 at the Club Seaway in Fort William. Dancing was to the music of the Swing Kings.

The members were five second-year launched into the art of lapidary science, commonly known as rock polishing, by guest lecturer, Dr. Quackenbush. In his lecture, Dr. Quackenbush dwelled on the structural geology (and the development) of subterranean formations in this area and their development through the chronological eras of geology. 1 Several of the members have been busily cutting and polishing the various rocks encountered in their travels around the Lakehead. The results have been surprisingly good for many of the specimens. One problem has arisen for Mr. Page, that is, beating enthusiasts away from the College mineral collection. This is making life pretty tough on local high-graders. Dr. Bartley, the former principal of Lakehead Tech, will be giving a lecture on geology and mineralogy to the club members in the near future. So if you encounter students with bandaged hands and splinters of rocks protruding from various parts of the anatomy, a fair conclusion is that the Precambrian Club's rock polishers are at it in full force. The club is a junior member in the Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. This entitles the club members to the monthly issue of the Institute's Journal. All developments in the mining and metallurgical professions are reviewed upon release to the public. In this way, the students keep abreast of modern techniques along with standard methods taken in lectures during the school year.

I consider myself to have lived, but seem to have learned nothing. Such a confession probably signifies stupidity, and since I do not like being called stupid, I will try to reproduce part of my life and see if I have not learned anything. To avoid disappointment, I shall not set my sights too high. I will be satisfied with anything which shows that my life has not been in vain. In Greece, I lived on a farm near a small town. Every day I would walk the odd two miles to school, catch up on some badly needed sleep in class, and at night, I would drag my weary self back home. The only thing I learned in school was that two and two makes four, but everyone knows that. I think I also might have learned that it is right for the big to hit the small. The teacher, with his knotted stick, was daily proving that lesson. If there is anything that those who went to the Greek public schools remember, it is the teacher's strap. thought that facing that strap six days a week was not healthy, and for the sake I would usually forget to go to school on sunny and warm days. Most days in Greece are sunny and warm. It was always more fun searching for birds' nests or feeding worms from the end of the hook to the fish in the river. School should be for girls; boys can learn from nature. I of my health, The Germans seemed to have an even better idea about schools. They burned ours down. My father was still old-fashioned; he sent me to a school in a neighbouring town where my aunt was living. In the summer I looked after the shep. There, I was not stupid any more. I could "baa" as good as any sheep. I cannot understand why shepherds are looked down upon. They sleep under the shade of a tree all day and look at the stars at night. look after themselves most of the time. The sheep Since Greece is a small and overpopulated country, the Second World War may be considered as a blessing, since it killed quite a few people and left more room for the survivors. Some people, however, still felt crowded after the Germans left and a civil was war started. Until 1947, I had a ringside view to the slaughter. The Communists had control of our town by night, and the army by day. Between battles, we were usually entertained by each side's public personnel. The Communists had the better loudspeakers and their slogans of equality, liberty and freedom from the English sounded nice. They did not sound so good to my father, so he joined the anti-Communist side, with the result that the Communists killed my grandfather and burned our house. We moved to Piraeus, where I went to a bigger school. Unfortunately, neither Germans nor the Communists could stop my father's stubborn efforts to educate me. The only thing I learned was how to fool the teachers into thinking I was smart so they would pass me. I wouldn't fool my fellow students, however. They found me an uncivilized, ignorant, country boy who could not even talk proper Greek. With such a the I could not be blamed for detesting Piraeus, and being eagerly awaiting for our papers to be finished so I could come to Canada. Even the famous classical ruins of Athens looked like ruins, and nothing else. reception, I liked the trip across the Atlantic, though. There is nothing in life more enjoyable than ploughing through the waves on an ocean liner. I was the only one in the family who was not happy when we landed in Halifax. Canada, from Halifax to Fort William, was one long train ride through the largest forest and tallest grass I had ever seen. One could grow some mighty fat sheep on this grass! Occasionally, but not very often, we would pass through a city.

School life here, though, was a little different. There were no straps, hardly any strict discipline, the girls left the room before the boys, and a new language, which was "Greek to me," was spoken. I did not like this strange language. Anything I do not understand, I do not like. The other pupils, probably trying to be friendly, would occasionally corner me and start blabbering in English. I would wave my hands and make like the deaf and dumb, but to no avail.

Both Grece and Canada could not be the best. With lying as a common point, people of different nations are basically the It same. Even though in Greece the main topic of conversation is politics, while here it is the weather, and although in Greece they start a war when they want something, while here they go on strike, they are the same since their goal is the same: to improve their position at the expense of someone else. After all these years of school, however, I still seem to have learned nothing. For a person to learn anything, he must discover why he is living. Acquiring knowledge so as to cheat our fellow men in order to live a fuller life has no value if we do not know the reason for our struggle for existence.

I had in my bag a chunk of copper ore from the days when I had worked as a miner around Sudbury. So when the next Sunday came, I was up early. I, too, was going prospecting. I even borrowed a compass from Kerry, the strip boss. Kerry knew all about prospecting. He had staked a few claims for lilithium and was going to make a million dollars. So he said. "Well, half a day. I And "So I set out, and came back quite late in the evening. I returned the compass to Kerry, but I did not say anything. So he got curious and asked me if I had found anything. I pretended I did not want to talk, but when he insisted, I said yes, I had brought back a sample but I did not know if it would be any good. Let's see, said Kerry and so I took the bit of ore out of my pocket. Kerry looked at it and got very excited. 'Boy!' he shouted. 'You lucky dog! This is copper! Where did you find it?' I did not answer. He grew silent too. 'You staked your claim already?' he asked then. I shook my head. 'I did not know,' I said. 'If this is copper like you say, it is a serious thing. I have to think about it.' 'Is the place far from here? Did you mark the place?' But I did not talk any more. I said I had to think about it. "Well, from then on I had it made.

The shelters are so small that there is no room to flail arms, especially when there is more than one person and the parties get excited if a fish is accidentally hooked.

The first meeting is expected to be held in the last part of August. Everyone who has been graduated from L.T.I, in the last eight years (that is since L.T.I. 's formation) will be contacted. It will be up to the student body to implement the ideas of this body. This year, taking up the challenge last year, we endeavoured to produce a school newspaper. Although there were only a couple of issues, the ready acceptance by the student body shows that we are ready for such a publication. The length of time between issues has been necessarily long due to an endeavour to put out at least three pages at a time.

The two men were just leaving a meeting of scientists who were in charge of one of the experimental investigations. he needs a different kind of discipline.

Surely, the institute could publish, say, a monthly two-paged mimeographed This paper would, of course, have to from a small beginning, but as the new college grows the newspaper could grow with it. This monthly journalistic effort would be far better able to adapt itself to cover the social life of the school than is the year-book. It would also be the place for 'sounding off any controversy that might 'rag'. start arise among the student body. Polite skir- mishes with the local newspaper editorial 6 pages would be possible.

And the paper could quite easily handle one literary composition per's editorial ters each issue. This does not mean that the newspaper would supplant the present Nor'Wester. The students of the school ought to publish both a yearbook and a paper. In fact, a school newspaper is not only advisable at this stage, but if the student body is to be any means given unity, it is self-expression of and a necessity. But, the natural response to this plea is "Well, a school newspaper is a good idea, but let's wait 'till we get the new building." Let's not wait until we get the new building! Let's start now!

T^resident^s The Lakehead Technical Institute is about to die, and be 'gloriously' reincarnated as the Lakehead College of Arts, Science and Technology. The Lakehead should be proud of this educational advance. The people are proud, or so they say. Are the people of the Lakehead being hypocrites? Sons and daughters are being sent to the big universities, rather than to the Lakehead Technical Institute. Why do not the parents actively support advanced education right at their doorsteps? Mostly pride! It sounds better today "My son is at Queen's (or University of Toronto)", than to say he went to lowly L.T.I. They have also managed to find specious excuses which hide the real cause of this hypocrisy. Local educators recommend L.T.I, "if go away to university." you can't afford to This type of support from the secondary is not going to boost the enrollCollege any more than it did at the Technical Institute. I can give no explanation of this attitude. The effect is evident, when at least ninety per cent of the university students at L.T.I, openly admit that they attended primarily because of finances. We, as students, have failed to stand behind our school. (Exception must be made of those in technical courses, who generally school level ment at the more enthusiasm about the school.) must remember that L.T.I, cannot be like the big universities which have taken nearly a hundred years to build up what are message sometimes not too enviable reputations (e.g. University of Toronto's reputation for oversized classes.) It will take time for the new College to achieve great stature. For the sake of the future of the school, let your pride in it appear and mention the good pomts of L.T.I., and not the petty little an- noyances which we must learn to accept, for they will always appear in life, and must be accepted. As one student we are guinea pigs new college. Let us stated, in the formation of a think of the resulting improvements to be brought about for our successors, and not of the easily overcome handicaps imposed upon us. Admittedly, this charitable attitude is sometimes hard to sustain when someone asks us what we are doing this year. The answer that we are going to the L.T.I. is greeted with this comment. "What are you doing there? I thought you graduated from Grade XIII last year." Thus, it is plain that the local populace must be informed, not of what we shall have in twenty years, but of what we have now. Without support from students, parents, educators and the population in general, the Lakehead College of Arts, Science and Technology will suffer spite of the efforts of visory Committee and a quick death in an enthusiastic i\.d- a tireless Principal. exhibit We 8 President �THE Faculty of l.t.

NATO awarded Mr. Hennessy a trip to Paris for placing first in the competition. Dear Comrade Ivan: In this letter, I hope to clear up soirx^ confusion. As so many others have said, it's lack of understanding that causes our international tension. The as greeting of this letter an example. There was describing someone when may much of be taken among us "Comrade So- a time as and-so" indicated brotherly affection and complete understanding. Because of what it you Communists adopted it as a which could never in your view, be surpassed in dignity by any other. Nowadays, because we disagree in a very fundamental way with Communist philosophy and practice, we look with quick suspicion on someone in our midst who speaks of "Comrade So-and-so." It's unreasonable and confussuggested, title ing, isn't it? Another area of constant confusion is around the word democracy. If my country should find itself at war with yours next week or next year, we would both be fighting "for democracy." That aspect of the war would be absurd. The word democracy comes from the Greek, "demos," meaning people, as you likely know, and refers to the kind of government that worked with some success in Athens from about 500 to 400 B.C. Under that system, all the free men uf that little state actively participated in government. For want of a better word, democracy came into use again in the nineteenth century to describe the societies where men (and later women) got the right to on the government at election time. The working people who form a larger group than any other in modern society, came to believe, because of the benefits it bestowed, that democracy was good. Because the word is held in such high esteem among ordinary folk it has been adopted as a halo to put around systems that are often basically different from each other. I hope you will agree with me from this that you Communists haven't any better claim to the word democracy than we and that we only befog our thinking about each other when we use the term to defend one system or the other. Mentioning defence of a system brings me to the area of confusion which prompted this letter in the first place. One of the most repeated cries from the Communist world is that the North Atlantic Treaty Organizapass judgment tion is another item in the programme of encirclement and strangulation capitalist begun in 1918. Now, it was no secret in many Western powers were hoping for the collapse of the Russian Revolution, simply because it was proclaimed as 1919-20 that would from the face of the earth. And it was no part of an evil conspiracy that the major powers hesitated for many years to recognize the Soviet Union; the first sweep rather, of a series of revolts that free enterprise I would call it a wait-and-see posi- was some clear evidence that the Soviet Union was prepared to act action until there cording to accepted international standards. By 1934, the USSR was enjoying diplomatic most nations, was trading around the globe, was a member of the League of Nations, and was employing hundreds of engineers and technicians from abroad. There was wide belief that Stalin relations with 39 �and his advisors international confirmed in War II when were not actively promoting This view was revolution. many minds during VV^orld Stalin often spoke witn Chur- chill and Roosevelt about carrying forward the alliance in the United Nations for tfie solution of all kinds of world problems. Then came 1945 and the post-war letdown. It was understandable that the Soviet Union should do all in its power to bring about the establishment of governments sympathetic to her in neighbouring states. Nor was it surprising that many people in these nations should look on Communism with admiration and hope after hundreds of and the recent horrible Nazi experience. But this, we felt, could never justify the open violation, in 1946, of the Yalta agreement which provided for free elections in Poland. And the kind of pressure, in 1948, that caused President Benes of Czechoslovakia to put Communists, who were holding a minority of the seats in Parliament in charge of that government and Jan Masaryk to jump to his death in despair, caused a wave of revulsion and fear from Vienna to Vancouver.

First of all, all it must be admitted that not the peoples in the Organization have the same culture and the same degree of freedom.

Science fiction written fiction. is It is the youngest form of a direct consequence of machine age and appeared previously only as a form of fantasy and not as science fiction as the term now is understood. tJie Science fiction, as well as being the newest form of fiction, or perhaps because it is the newest form of fiction, has becom.e one of the most controversial of literary topics. Like anything new, it has more critics than champions. It is usually disclaimed as being fantastic nonsense, having no background of facts and nothing comparable in real life. Many critics do not even class it in a definite category of fiction but rather discard it completely as worthless trash. An intelligent critic however, lize that science fiction presents must rea- new and boundless fields of endeavour. Like any other form of fiction, of course, there is much of it that well deserves the name of trash; but science fiction also has its clas- which are comparable those in any other branch of sics, ing.

Authors of science fiction also come under a great barrage of criticism. treat them Most people as little short of imbeciles for wasting their time writing fantastic nonsense. It must be realized that a science fiction writer must have more imagination than any other type of author. The science fictionist has no background of history and actual experience to call upon to provide authenticity and colour to his stories. Everything he writes must come from his own thoughts and be presented in a form which Weldon logical and clear. For these reasons, a good science fiction author has to be an excellent teller of stories, and has to possess a boundless imagination. Here again, the opponents of science ficis tion voice a criticism: "Science fiction is to- and since the mind must have some background of fact in which to imagine a story, science fiction becomes tally unbelievable nothing but insane babbling. The reader of science fiction then, must also possess an imagination which is above average. Most people who claim they do not like science fiction are unimaginative creatures who can perceive nothing beyond the concrete world that they know. They are intellectually incapable of allowing their imagination a free rein and of discarding temporarily from their minds the restrictions of the physical world. Science fiction consists of be appreciated, proven. it 'ifs', and to must be accepted, not There is a lot of science fiction which must come under the heading of "space opera." These stereotyped stories are to science fiction what the "horse opera" western stories and "blood-and-guts" novelettes are to conventional fiction. They must not be taken as mirrors of all science fiction simply because this form is most often brought to public attention in "T.V. shows" and in the movies. Another thing which science fiction is drives people the fact that most of from it ap- pears in the form of small magazines or 'pulps' as they are best known rather than in the form of books. Because the worst of con- ventional fiction appears in this form, many people automatically reject anything presented in this style. In the case of science fiction, this is a mistake.

Uncertain, I moved closer to the platform, prepared to listen to the first part of the blonde's performance once again. This was the night before the fair's finale, and the people of the Twin Cities were out in full force a fact which would make it impossible for me to find my friends in such a crov/d even of I were to start looking for — thera.

"That's right. Curly, come up here with I need your help ..." I knew what she had in mind before she finished the sentence.

At that time I had gotten my present job at the Palace, and I passed by her house on my way there, four times daily. The girl's small brother, and a number of other kids of the neighbourhood were usually playing at the yard, and occasionally Rita was in the verandah watching them or reading a book, and at these instances we smiled and exchanged 'hellos'. After a short time we begun to add a word or two more to our greeting. She came to the store where I worked a number of times in order to buy some small article or other, and we often chatted freel)' on light subjects of conversation. We became better acquainted, and when I passed by her house now, I looked forward to seeing her, and more often than not, she was there in the verandah as though waiting for me to pass at least that is what I was led to believe. When an occasional day passed without seeing her I became depressed. 1 — I had wished to take ber of occasions but asked her.

I do not remember, just what picture was showing, but I know that there were only five patrons there, and two rather bored ushers. I do remember though, that her hand was in mine all through the picture, and that we looked more at each other than we did at the screen. It was about ten o'clock when we came out, but the city was silent and empty. An empty city at night gives one a strange feeling of enveloped solitude. As far as the eye could see down the street, there was not a single living thing in sight.

It was discovered, in 1688, by Jacques de Noyon, a French trader from Three Rivers, Quebec, who travelled up the Kaministiquia River, portaged through to Dog Lake and the Seine River, and eventually reached Rainy Lake. De Noyon spent the winter at Rainy Lake, and built a post at its western outlet for the Government of New France. The Thunder Bay area had been visited twice before de Noyon's explorations. Radisson and Groseilliers apparently skirted the north shore of Lake Superior, in 1662, on their famous venture into the north west. In 1678, Daniel Greysoion, Sieur du Lhut, and La Tourette established the first French fort, Kaministiquia, on the present site of Fort William. This fort, however, was not maintained during subsequent years, and was finally abandoned. In 1717, with was a view to the discovery of the western sea, the Kaministiquia by Zacharie Robutal de La Noue under the direction of the Governor, M. de Vaudreuil, and the Intendant, M.

Verendrye, was appointed to the "Postes du Nord", which included Kaministiquia. In the years following his appointment, La Verendrye used the Kaministiquia Route numerous times in his unsuccessful search for the western sea.

They developed a long chain of forts from Grand Portage deep into the western regions of Canada, practically unchallenged by the interests of the Thirteen Colonies to the south. The American War of Independence and the Treaty of Versailles, 1783, however, changed the picture somewhat with the definition of the Canadian-American boundary along Pigeon River. The North West Company found that some of its most important posts, including Grand Portage, were in American territory. As a result, Edward Umfreville was despatched in 1784 to find a new all-British route through Lake Nipigon and connecting lakes and rivers to Lake Winnipeg. Umfreville was successful in his venture, but the route proved too difficult and was never used. During the intervening years The North West Company continued to use its posts in the United States, but was finally forced to relinquish them under the terms of English and Scottish traders of The North Jay's Treaty of 1794. along with the Grand was marked on Peter Pond's map of 1789.

Mackenzie followed the ioute to Lake Superior, and thus re-opened the waterway discovered by Jacqes de Noyon, a hundred and ten years earlier. The North West Company transferred its post from Grand Portage to Kaministiquia in 1802-03, and the fur trade was continued by the Canadian route. In 1807, Kaministiquia was re-named Fort William after William McGillivray, the Company's agent. Until the decline of the fur trade, and the advent of modern methods of transportation, Fort William and the Kaministiquia Route remained in continuous use in the vast fur empire of the north west.

He told me that all the people of Hewhassay had ignored my arrival there. He told me that the law of the planet forced the populace to ignore unusual things in the sky, especially flying saucers. He quoted the law which stated: set I my planet Hewhassay. uncommon, or unusual objects (particularly those which are saucer shaped) seen in the sky are to be ignored.

Senator Burns enforces these laws to preserve the glorious freedom and liberty which we Hewhassayans enjoy." Senator Burns also had a crusher machine which resembled the meat grinder used by American housewives, except that it was twelve and one-quarter times larger, and its jaws were kept churning by 18 — �THE NOR'WESTER JOURNEY TO RUTUF — Continued Hewhassayan perpetual motion machine.

The pepper mines and slave camps of sweltering Tropicornia, an unbearably hot and humid land in eastern Parasov, always provided "opportunities with a future", and a substantial proportion of the population worked there. The M.K.B.D. (The Men who Kindly Butcher Deviates) was a marvellous organization which performed two functions. First, it continually watched over every activity of every citizen every minute of his life. Secondly, it was the employment agency for the Tropicornia pepper mines and slave camps, and it was instrumental in procuring large numbers of workers. My Hewhassayan freind, Otis K. Zmpclbtx (pronounced Qsnrvpdk) told me he was a dog psychologist. He tested dogs to determine their I.Q. Dogs with superior intelligence were used to perform many minor tasks for the people. They were also taught to talk, and to play football, baseball, and other sports. I particularly admired the educational system in Hewhassay. Otis and I had much in common in that we both possessed a vast amount of information on a variety of worthwhile subjects. We both had memorized significant speech- es from the classics of our languages. He was delighted when was able to quote twenty-five lines from Polonius' speech beginning: "And these few percepts in thy memory/Look thou character ..." He especially admired the kindly wisdom of that excellent old man Polonius. Otis then impressed me by disclosing many exact statistics of his country. He was able to give the average rainfall from 1896 to 1963 of six different Hewhassayan cities: Katzala, Esp, Saint Kosher, Oopdeedoo, Tillden, and the tropical paradise Kmonawanaseeya. Otis was as equally skilled in the ancient nd extinct Hewhssayan language called Mortis as I was in Latin. He easily said "Articus ignorala prima donna camera nonsensi", but he did not know what it meant. Both of us knew a great many I these ancient languages, although we were not always sure of or pronunciation of most of them. Both of us had a good understanding of the parts and functions of plants and animals, and we agreed that this knowledge more than made up for our ignorance about the physical and mental funtioning of our own respective species. words in either the As in meaning some places on my own planet, radicals who advocated a new and — 19 �THE NOR'WESTER JOURNEY TO RUTUF — Continued improved educational system were placed In mental hospitals. Otis and laughed at some of the ridiculous policies which the radicals emphasized: the study of the fundamentals of learning, of thinking clearly, and of com1 municating properly. This last foolish topic included instruction in how to read for comprehension and speed, and how to write and speak correctly and effectively. Such departures from the traditional methods of the educational system would only result in the growth of political groups opposed to good, sound government.

On asking Otis the cause of their hostility, he informed me that they resented my auburn hair and sanguine complexion. There were even rumours that the Hewhassayan Investigating Committee was going to place me on its scales because they began to suspect that my weight was more than one hundred and seventyeight pounds. Otis advised me to end my visit for my own safety. of Otis, I immediately prepared for my return to Earth. It took us twenty-three minutes to fill my missile with the proper provisions.

The second-year students were engaged in carrying out a survey of the now abandoned Silver Mountain Mine workings. The first-year students had their duties as cooks and bottlewashers and they also took spells at being backsight men for the second-year groups. To tell the truth they were more like backsightless men because the supply of flashlights and flashlight batteries proved inadequate in lighting our way through the underground workings.

We began to tire of the mine workings after putting in long hours each day. We worked at the survey all day, coming to surface only for lunch and supper, and we also spent several hours underground each evening. The second-year students were of the opinion that more time should be devoted to the mine survey field trip as it is of greatest practical importance in the mining field. The underground workings yielded many excellent mineral specimens, especially amethyst quartz samples. could say sack early life was for ourselves as restricted after putting in a and all welcomed hard day the opportunity to hit the at the mine.

Both first and second-year groups were present this year students now had six husky first-year boys to father. and the senior Headquarters were once again established on a group of mining claims in Pardee Township, and upon arrival at the camp, everyone pitched in to make things livable for the next two weeks. The senior students grouped together cnce again to occupy the so-called bunkhouse and the junior students, Mr. Page, and our mascot Paddy took up residence in the combination cookhouse and bunkhouse. We were all assigned our duties for the two-week stay and everyone took Quite a variety of cooking was experienced his chores enthusiastically. as we split into parties of two with a different set of cooks each day. It was a toss-up to decide which were the better cooks, the first-year or the second- up year fellows. first-year mining students carried out pace and compass surveys and some mighty fine picket lines for the two weeks. They also did a bit of prospecting and geological study and aided the second-year lads in their The cut stadia survey. McTavish and Bayko teamed up to form one party, and Vinni and Stanzell formed a second party, while Poutanen remained the lone wolf on his excursions for the two weeks. We then spent the first week cleaning up old picket lines and running a stadia traverse over these lines. The second-year students enjoyed the stadia work and gained much valuable experience in that branch of surveying. We spent the second week at geological mapping of the areas cut by our stadia traverses. The second-year boys spent several late evenings in trying to get a transit sight on Polaris, but we were able to find the means for passing time quickly enough on other nights. Some of the fellows ran out of means by the end of the first week. would not have been complete without an excursion to the American border where we were able to purchase a few of the necessities required on such a trip. Some of the first-year men were initiated into a new experience for themselves and found that riding on the back of a jeep could be very rough. Our field trip of a bear about the camp for several nights also provided a excitement. The woodsmen of the group applied their ingenuity in devising a fiendish bear trap which didn't catch anything except smart comments. The miners also tried fishing in the nearby lake but weren't able to decide whether their fruitless efforts were worth the arduous task they had in hiking the canoe up and down a very steep and exhausting hill.

We of the staff have watched your progress through the Lakehead Technical Institute with keen interest. Now as you go out to join our growing group of Graduates we look forward to your continued success. Graduates in both the Technical and University Divisions are making an enviable reputation. Now the challenge is yours. Graduation is only the first hurdle. There will be many more ahead. Approach them with the same confidence and enthusiasm that you have displayed at the Lakehead Technical Institute. Canada is a land of unlimited opportunity for you who graduate in 1953. Let us not forget, however, that the Canadian way of life stands for something more than abundant natural resources, automobiles and automatic washing machines. Canada is a land of liberty. Lord Acton said that there is one constant in history: the idea of liberty. more than the But this liberty involves man or the pursuit of happiness. Indeed, said Acton, "if happiness is the end of Society, then liberty is superfluous Liberty is not the power of doing what we like, but the right of being able to do what we ought."

BRAUN, Principal. �LAKEHEAD TECHNICAL YEAR INSTITUTE BOOK MESSAGE FROM THE ADVISORY BOARD The Lctkehead Technical Institute is now in its fifth year. Many students have been graduated in Technical Mining and Technical Forestry. Several others have completed the first-year university course in Applied Science, Besides this, many short courses have been Forestry, Arts, and Commerce. given in special subjects and trades. Those who have graduated in Technical Mining and Technical Forestry are nearly all pursuing their chosen calling in their respective fields and reports from the industries indicate that they are a credit to the Institute. Those who have gone ahead to various universities have done well in the courses they have chosen. Part of their success at least is due to the sound training they received at the Lakehead Technical Institute. All this would it has seem to indicate that our school is now beyond the trial period proven its worth. It remains for us to decide where we are going to go from here. — The Lakehead Technical Institute can be the forerunner of a junior college at the Lakehead and a junior college in turn can be the forerunner of a university. People who believe that Northwestern Ontario will continue to grow in population, industry and wealth feel that with proper support and wise planning such an objective can be reached in the not-too-distant future. The present quarters of the school and its location do not lend themselves to expansion nor for use as a junior college. start must be made on the new school, on the inter-city site to which it holds title. Architects plans are now being submitted to the Department of Education for approval. Every effort is being made to get this project under way.

The need for more engineers and technicians has been apparent for some time in Canada's growing industrial system. Most of the reason for this interest in Applied Science are economic: the vastness and proximity of natural resources, the existence of a ready market for goods in America and Europs, Never and the need for defensive armament against an unmistakably bright-hued enemy. before has democracy depended so much on the abundance of material goods. The most interesting Institute is that We have urged on our industrial expansion in the save us from an economic downfall and from direct aggression. We have set aside Once the nations the humanities as being too impractical to cope with the present world fears. are at peace again, we may return to the humanities as offering a rational approach for our scientific achievements. No more dubious scientific triumphs like guns and atom bombs! We agree with Mr. H. G. Wells: "But if the dangers, confusions, and disasters that crowd upon men in these days are enormous beyond any experience of the past, it is because science has brought him such powers as he never had before. And the scientific method of fearless thought, exhaustively lucid statement, and exhaustively criticized planning, which has given him these as yet uncontrollable powers, gives him also the hope of controlling these powers."

Ross �LAKEHEAD TECHNICAL INSTITUTE YEAR BOOK EDITORIAL months After and of dreaming and planning the hectic last-minute alterations, the 1953 edition of the Institute Year Book Lakehead Technical has finally come through with flying colours. All that has been accomplished has been achieved through the co-operative efforts of the "Year Book" staff and all those who contributed material to the magazine. The advertising staff once again with its terrific drive saved us from financial embarrassment. I would like to thank them all, and especially, Mr. Ross, who, although often busy, woul i alway; have a few minutes to spare ear or a hand when we met with difficulties. It has been suggested that our Year Book be given a definite name, a proposal which the "Year Book" staff considered worth contemplating with all seriousness. A name chosen wisely and with care will do much to enhance such a fine book as the one we have. Feeling that a matter of such importance should not be dealt with in undue haste, the "Year Book" staff have decided to retain the present name for this volume. Perhaps at this time next year we shall see this chronicle bearing a new name, a name we can be proud of, a name worthy of this book. So from now until that time, keep thinking about it! The year 1953 will long be remembered by the entire world as being The world held its breath as the final figures were unusually eventful. announced, confirming the victory of General Eisenhower in the United States Presidential election campaign . There is much sorrow in our war-threatened world today and only when comes on with such shocking unexpectedness as the recent floods and hurricanes in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Belgium are we all aware of the misery involved. The loss of life and property alone speak it of the nations' plight. It is a pity that a catastrophe such as this occurred as Great Britain is preparing for the Coronation in June of this year. Yes, 1953 will not be quickly forgotten, for the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II will be one of this century's spectacular social functions. As each of us goes his separate way, some to university, others to positions of responsibility in the industrial field, the "Year Book" will serve to bring us together, wherever we be, by recalling to us the happy moments may we shared in the short time we spent at the Lakehead Technical -SHIZUYE —7— Institute.

P. Bertrand is an authority on the history of North-Western Ontario and has long been regarded as our local historian. We would EDITOR. like to express our sincere thanks to him for this essay. — ©ngin of port Brtbur OLLOWING upon the Union of Upper and Lower Canada in Canadian Government, representing the Union of Ontario and Quebec, taking an example from the people of the United States, began to think in terms of Western expansion, having in view the purchasing of the rights of the Hudson's Bay Company in Rupert's Land, which extended from Fort William to the Rocky Mountains. 1841, the The first important event during that period of our local history was the purchasing by treaty of all the Ojibway lands from the various bands extending from Batchewanaug Bay, near Sault Ste. Marie, to Pigeon River and extending Northward to the height of land. This very important treaty, which was signed by the representatives of the Crown and the accredited Chieftains from the various bands of Ojibways, was duly signed at Sault Ste. Marie on the 7th day of September, 1850, is known as the RobinsonSuperior Treaty. According to some stipulations of that Treaty, a number This Treaty of blocks of lands were set aside as reserves for the Ojibways. was brought about possibly earlier than anticipated on account of the great mining boom along both shores of Lake Superior which had began in 1841 along the Southshore and finally extended to the North side of the Lake on Canadian territory. During the seasons of 1845 and 1846, no less than one hundred and thirty locations had been staked. These particular locations were two miles in frontage by five miles in depth. It can readily be seen that a good part of the North shore of Lake Superior was claimed by prospectors. Only 27 of these mining claims were made good. The others were allowed to lapse. The government of the day had yet no right to the land since it had not been purchased by agreement from the Ojibways until 1850. After that date, upon the completion of the agreement, all the Ojibway lands bordering on the North shore of Lake Superior, became the property of the Crown, to be known as Crown Lands. They were administered by departments known as those of Lands, Forests and Mines. The year 1957 will mark the anniversary of the most important event in the history of Port Arthur. It will be the centennial of its founding. It was, in fact, in 1857 that a townsite consisting of 534 acres was carved out of virgin forests, surveyed into lots and sold by auction. Robert McVicar, who had seen distinguished service with the Hudson's Bay Company in the Northwest Territory, was appointed Crown Lands Agent. He became the first permanent white settler to set foot in what is now the City of Port Arthur. His modest log-house and office was located at the intersection of Arthur and Cumberland Streets. In time these lots were taken up by new settlers but evidently there was no rush to establish the new settlement, since by 1870 the total population only represented 200 inhabitants. Robert McVicar acquired considerable property adjoining the townsite, and his descendants at a later date were the largest owners of real estate property in and about the young town of Port Arthur. McVicar Creek and McVicar Street were named after him. — 21 — �LAKEHEAD TECHNICAL ORIGIN OF PORT ARTHUR INSTITUTE YEAR BOOK —(Continued) Coinciding with the opening of the new townsite, an event of national importance since it was the first independent settlement to have been established west of Sault Ste. Marie, S. J. Dawson, a civil engineer who had previously been connected with the Canadian Government in some important public works in the St. Lawrence Valley was now appointed to make a survey of a possible wagon and water route which could be established between the infant settlement of the Lakehead and the Red River Colony, the latter still under the control of the paternalistic rule of the Hudson's Bay Company. After considering alternate routes, Dawson finally recommended a wagon road to Lake Shebandowan, thence pretty much over the old Canadian canoe route to the West end of Lake of the Woods and thence from the Northwestern angle another wagon route to the Red River settlements. By 1867 Confederation of the Canadian provinces became an accomplished fact and negotiations were immediately opened up in London, England, for the purchase of all the rights of the Hudson's Bay Company in Rupert's Land, which extended then from the mouth of the Kaministiquia River to the Rocky Mountains. S. J. Dawson was then instructed to go ahead with his project of linking the East with the West with his wagon and waterway highway, which became known as the Dawson Route. Negotiations having been successfully carried out in London by two Canadian representatives and the Committee of the Hudson's Bay Company for the transfer of all their rights the Canadian Government was therefore ready to assume authority over the Northwest Territory. Unfortunately, just as they were ready to do so, the Red River Valley was plagued with a reoccurring grasshopper migration which, like the locusts of Biblical days as recorded in Genesis, darkened the sky and covered the land, destroying everything as they went along. To assist the Red River Colony the Canadian Government decided to rush along the construction, particularly at the far end of the Dawson Route in order to offer some relief by creating work The construction from the Northwest angle for the Red River inhabitants. on the Lake of the Woods to the Red River Valley or Fort Garry went on merrily during the summer of 1869. Paradoxical as this may seem to students of history this relief measure undertaken by the Canadian Government with the best of intentions was one of the causes that led to the Red River insurrection in 1869. It was not the sole cause of the trouble, but certainly one of them, if not the most serious one. It thus became necessary for the Canadian authorities to restore order along the banks of the Red River in the newly-formed Province of Manitoba and the Government did act with resolution and despatch. Colonel Garnet Joseph Wolseley, afterwards Lord Wolseley, who was serving as a commanding officer in the Canadian militia in Eastern Canada, was appointed in charge of the Expedition to Fort Garry, and arrived here with his officers and soldiers in the early summer of 1870. A fellow-passenger on board the steamer "Chicora" was Thomas Marks, the pioneer merchant of Port Arthur, with whom Colonel Wolseley must have found a great deal in common on the trip across Lake Superior. As they were disembarking from the steamer, Colonel Wolseley asked Mr. Marks the name of the place. Upon being told that it was called "The Station," Wolseley stated, "Let's name it 'Prince Arthur's Landing' after Prince Arthur of Connaught." The young Prince was then in Eastern Canada. — 22 — �LAKEHEAD TECHNICAL ORIGIN OF PORT ARTHUR— (Continued) INSTITUTE YEAR BOOK Having restored law and order in the new Western Province of Manitoba the Canadian Government then turned its attention to railway construction, the beginning of which was made from West Fort Wililam in the early summer of 1875 as a Canadian enterprise. In 1881 this Government owned section was taken over by the Canadian Pacific Railway. By 1886 Canada was now linked by rail from the Atlantic to the Pacific, an achievement unheard of in railway construction up to that time. Considering that the population of Canada barely exceeded 4,000,000 inhabitants it did show vision, enterprise and resolution on the part of both the Government of the day and the directors of the Canadian Pacific Railway. The young town of Prince Arthur's Landing had by this time gone through a great deal of expansion, including one silver mining boom in the early '70's and entering upon a second silver mining boom which began in 1882 and lasted pretty much until 1888. Coupled with the construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway Port Arthur became a town of great importance. In a booklet prepared by the Canadian Pacific Railway at that period the town of Port Arthur was referred to as "The Silver Gateway." It will be of interest to the readers of this article to learn how the name came to be changed from Prince Arthur's Landing to Port Arthur. It became evident during the early C.P.R. construction of the North Shore Line that Prince Arthur's Landing was no longer suitable as a name for the A number of names were terminus of the first trans-continental Railway. then brought to the attention of our town fathers for their consideration, such as "Port Royal, Ogama, Bayport, Shuniah, Prince Arthur, Algoma, Rock- town fathers were slow in making up their minds as to the William Van Home, then general manager of the Pacific Railway, noted for his quick decisions, decided upon the name of Port Arthur, which appeared on their station, located on the property now occupied by the city car barn, between Van Home and Wolseley Street. A year later in 1884 the name of the post office was also changed to that of Port Arthur and when the town was incorporated in May of the same year it also adopted the same name. Explanations for the change to Port Arthur from Prince Arthur's Landing, as decided upon by the authority of the Canadian Pacific Railway, has been recorded by the "Sentinel," the leading Lakehead newspaper of the time and repeated in the "Port Arthur Illustrated," published in May 1889. It was supposed to be "partly as a companion to Port Moody, the Pacific terminus, and a compliment to Prince Arthur and partly for President Chester Alan Arthur," then President of the United States and rather popular with the Canadian people. He used to spend his summer vacations in Canada. He was actually the first President to manifest any interest in Canadian affairs and a deep affection for the Canadian people. It is doubtful if any other city on the continent can claim to have been named after two such historical figures, Arthur, Duke of Connaught, the 7th child of Queen Victoria became a Field Marshall in the Imperial Army. In time he was appointed Governor-General of Canada. President Chester Alan Arthur, a man of very great charm, possessed of a fine physique, did make his contribution towards better understanding between the American and Canadian people.

Perhaps he cannot be blamed. He has never seen the sun rising over the Sleeping Giant, casting red streamers over the dreaming land and over the tidy tiers of houses stretching up the hill side. He has never seen the moon rising over the black water like a golden ladle, trailing behind its silvery handle of newly-washed stars, nor has he heard the restless waves hurrying shoreward to inquire the meaning of the driftwood bonfires built on the warm sand. As the visitor travels along the north shore, he forgets that this is the same Indians travelled as they hunted along the ancient sea coast from Manitoulin Island, their centre of culture. He cannot imagine route that the first bronzed Indians worshipping their fire god, with their copper bracelets gleaming dully against the dark backdrop of the forest in the small glade where now a solitary moose munching waterlilies bawls defiantly in the autumn night. — 25 — �LAKEHEAD TECHNICAL INSTITUTE YEAR BOOK —(Continued) country — Radisson, THE LAKE SUPERIOR COUNTRY La Verendrye, and DuLhut The coureurs de bois went westward portaging around Kakabeka Falls from whence the mist maiden still arises, up the broad Kaministiquia and over difficult bush trails ever in search of the beaver.

The Indians, who had about an ancient race which had hurriedly departed and left its wealth in the care of great Nanabijou and his Thunder Bird, thought it was wrong to rob the silver treasure and when the blue waters of Thunder Bay flooded the small mine forever, they said it was the Thunder god's way of showing his anger and ever since have endeavoured to placate the angry deity by throwing tribute to the Sleeping Giant when crossing the bay, lest they be punished for the white man's impiety. traditional beliefs The casual visitor to Port Arthur about 1900 would have noticed even He would have seen an then the ceaseless bustle in the restless town. its way along muddy Cumberland Street and would have wondered at such a small community having a means of transportation so modern as a street railway when even Toronto did not have streetcars.

Hardest hit were the islands of Zealand, two large islands called Goeree and over miles. They are three-quarters under water. Another small Flakkee, with a population of 5,000. About 1,000 dead have been counted island known as Fiers Guneter has completely vanished. and about a million or 10 per cent of all the population have lost their property. The damage done to the soil is severe. Salt water always penetrates deep into the soil and experts will have to wait till early autumn before they can test the soil for salt content. Four years may Gypsum can be used to counter the salt but pass before the flooded land returns to normal. heavy rainfall is needed to dissolve the gypsum. As gypsum cannot be used until the top soil has drained and as most of the flooded land is in low rainfall areas with heavy soil, it may take twenty years for some fields to regain full fertility. The total cost of the flood is not known but the Dutch Central Statistics Bureau estimates About 1,000 farms in that about 14,500 of Holland's 2,345,000 houses were in the flood areas. About *i,300 houses and farms are flooded in Zealand are a total loss and 2,000 damaged.

The first day of cruising was a baffling experience for most. All the parties returned that night with barely any work done. During the next two weeks our cruising ability rapidly improved and we averaged approximately fifteen plots per day for each party. On the week ends the boys managed to find transportation into town, except two second-year students who stayed behind in camp and enjoyed the finer things in life.

E are suddenly finding ourselves out of childhood and being accepted and treated as responsible young men and women. In fact, we are now on our own road to success or failure. Honest endeavour will find success (but however honest, laziness can only bring failure). This first year of university training is an embarkation point leading the student on into his chosen field of business. The embryo engineer who walks thru this door, pushes vigorously, thinking of the stresses set up in the hinges and pondering over the possibility of some day having all doors open automatically. The mining student feels the steel of the door knob and wonders what kind of ore the iron was extracted from; the forester examines the grain in the wooden frame and the arts student ambles in thinking of how the modern world is getting too specialized. The L.T.I, at graduates the Lakehead has provided the opportunity for all high school make an attempt at university education without risking to at least We much more than a year of their time. students truly appreciate the sincere those citizens in our community who have furthered the development of this Institute to its present well organized and efficient condition. efforts of We are also indebted to those men who sacrificed their own professional iime to act as part-time lecturers here at the L.T.I, for the throng of seemingly bcied and ungrateful classrooms full of our philosophers.

A. j �LAKEHEAD TECHNICAL INSTITUTE YEAR BOOK one hundred years ago the Indian tribes were the only civilization along the north shore of Lake Superior. Many legends have been handed down which are centered around scenic wonders of the region. P until form of One of these attractions is the Sea Lion on the shore of Silver Island. According to legend, the great Nanna Bijou, spirit of the Deep Sea Water, had two pets, a Thunder Bird and a winged lion, Nagochee. One day, after Nanna Bijou had received an urgent message from across the waters, he quickly mounted Nagochee and flew off. In his haste he left Thunder Bird behind on the island and she became very jealous of the lion during their absence. When the great lion came into sight, carrying his master back from his travels, Thunder Bird screeched and screamed until the heaven was filled with the noise and Nagochee and Nanna Bijou were thrown into the wildly surging sea. Nagochee tried to reach his master but could not because of the huge waves. Nanna Bijou finally made his way to shore unaided and, thinking that his pet had failed him, turned him into stone. To this day the faithful beast stands on the shore of the island looking solemnly out over the sea, awaiting the return of his beloved master. Another story is told of White Bear, an aged Ojibway leader who ruled over a peaceful, prosperous tribe at the mouth of the Kaministiquia River. The tribe had not been bothered by their enemies for a long time; one day word came that warriors were approaching in canoes from the upper reaches The old chieftain was greatly distressed because he was too old of the river. to lead his braves into battle and he scarcely knew how to ward off the enemy. His young daughter Green Mantle, seeing her father's anxiety, took her leave the next morning and paddled up the river to the Great White Falls. She left her canoe at the bottom of the gorge and proceeded up the river on foot. She soon reached the enemy camp and was captured and taken before the chief. They immediately decided to put her to death but she bargained with them until they agreed that she should lead them to her father's camp in exchange for her life. Very shortly she was placed in the head canoe and, following her suggestion, all the canoes were tied together. As they were travelling down the river very rapidly, anxious to reach the Ojibway camp they rounded a bend in the river just above the falls and due to the strong The entire tribe plunged headlong over current, could not save themselves.

From a point a short distance down stream where the falls are visible, the Green Mantle can be seen in the mist where the Great Manitou placed the brave little Indian girl who gave her life for her people. figure of — — — 17 E.

This controversial matter Ottawa and Washington Canada can do the job. for And has been see-sawing back and forth between Now is the time for action. about fifty years. there are certainly good reasons why she should. The first one is that we need the power. There are three big reasons. The development can produce over two million horsepower, half of which will belong to Canada. And we face a serious power shortage nof only because of the continually increasing usage of electrical power by its present users, but also because of the expansion of Ontario Hydro present plant facilities, and the appearance of more and more new industries. officials say that new sources must be available by 1956 or the province will be compelled to build steam generating plants; that is going to cost us more than building the St. Lawrence Project, on top of which the actual cost of the developed power will be more expensive than the hydro-developed power. second big reason is the cheapening of transport costs and the promotion of the maximum The completion of the Seaway will make possible the into the Great Lakes System. use throughout the great waterway of boats drawing up to twenty-seven feet of water. This can mean the elimination of present transfer costs for all goods going from any part of the Great Lakes to a destination overseas or even to any point beyond Kingston for that matter.

A commerce enormous industrial expansion are certainly present.

And it is to get more efficient transportation for the Labrador ore that much of the present talk about the Seaway has developed from. We Canadians have but to look across the line to the south shore to get some idea of what is probably going to happen on the north shore some day. It seems like a good idea to get in step with the future tradition of stable at both right ends of the now. A third big reason has to do with defence. Without the seaway we might well divert a considerable amount of shipping to the Eastern Seaboard, and harking back to our experience An inland in the last war, that could be a mighty costly proposition if we have to fight again. seaway is going to give us far more protection for shipping because subs cannot do any harm past Quebec City. True we could tranship everything, but in modern war, we cannot afford to This is only part lose time and manpower which could have been saved by a little foresight. of the defence story: we need St. Lawrence power for war industry. we build it? It takes two things, money and know-how. And when you what we have accomplished in the past, it seems to me that we could build a Do we have money? Our Federal surpluses alone exceeded two billion dozen waterways. And any nation that can finance a war as we have done just dollars in the post war period. And know-how?

The descent was made in a cage barely big enough for the seven men who occupied it. It went down so fast that I found myself in the station at the 900 ft. level before I knew what had happened.

Practices started late in November and were held on Fridays from one to two, and later the same time on Thursdays was also obtained. About twenty students took an active interest and although we only played scrub games everyone had a good time. The highlight of the season was our game with the Duluth Branch of the University of Minnesota. On February 22, the team and a few loyal supporters left by chartered bus for Duluth. We played our game on the 23rd and lost 6-3. Duluth had a hard fighting, fast skating team and certainly earned their win. Mention must go to Jack Todesco who played a very good game in goal during the periods; to George Miller who got two goals and played an excellent all round game, and to Denny Brophy who lost his nose guard but played on with nonchalant courage. The team had difficulty playing under the American College rules and it is hoped that a return game can be arranged next year in Port Arthur using Canadian rules. The team consisted of Jack Todesco in goal, Ted Hansen, Don Fman, Denny Brophy and Don Marston on defence-' Harry Fleming, Jack Adderley, Ray Newton, Bill Dutchak, Ed McCabe and George Miller as forwards; and Leo Kosowan, Yosh Tatabe, Bill Isberg and Gordie Vase as alternates. — 55 — �TECHNICAL LAKEHEAD INSTITUTE Lakehead Technical YEAR BOOK Institute Hockey Team Back row: T.

Primitive natives who believe in its existence say it is a huge, man-shaped creature covered with red hair, speaking many languages, and lacking in joints. First, of course, than those of of a waab can expect not only a cash reward but an rating among more prosaic zoologists. So far, however, no one has claimed the prize ($287) in Egyptian pounds) posted many years ago for the fabulous creature. The discoverer "out-of-this-world" The legendary waab of the Sudan recalls another strange character of African folklore, the "humanoid apes," the bulletin says. This big, manlike ape is covered with dark hair and walks erect. A man-eater, the humanoid is supposed to celebrate the capture of prey by a ceremonial dance. In the ceremony, the females are said to form a circle around the furiously dancing males, and beat on drumlike objects, Other accounts tell of the agogwe, the little-furred people of the big-game Several hunters have reported that the agogwe country of East Africa. resemble men four feet tall, walk upright, and are covered with brown or One witness suggested that these animals, more credible than russet hair. the waak or dancing apes, may be rare monkeys. Another subject of speculation is the curious Nandi Bear, which is blamed often for the killing of humans and domesticated animals in East Africa. Although scientific evaluation is lacking, native and white hunters alike say they have encountered the beast; and several descriptions of the bearlike creature agree on its shambling gait, shaggy hair, little ears and long snout. Zoologists long have maintained that remote regions may shelter outlandish beasts unknown to science or believed to be extinct. The possibility that giant sloths may still exist in the wilds of South America is not discounted entirely by authorities. — 75 — �LAKEHEAD TECHNICAL INSTITUTE AutoXf/VOfbilA, — 76 — YEAR BOOK �LAKEHEAD TECHNICAL YEAR INSTITUTE BOOK FOR YOU: The Future Your future advancement, both cultural and material, will depend on many factors, none more important than your use of the years immediately following your graduation from high school. for Never before has university training been deemed so imperative sincerely wish to make the most of their young people who capabilities.

Honest scholarship should have trained you to faring to bear on all situations in life impartiality, integrity, moral courage and perspective. Your many interests and activities should have given to you an appreciation of values and a desire for gracious living. The world sorely needs these qualities and gifts. I all. You — to your As you leave the Institute, you assume a twofold responsibility parents and to the Institute. The years will tell whether you are worthy of the sacrifices that have been made for you by your parents and those interested in your career. You are a representative of the Lakehead Technical Institute; the reputation which you establish may well determine the reception given future graduates by potential employers, or other centres otf learning. Some of you are graduating into the world of industry; others are hesitating before continuing up the steps leading to a university degree. For the first, the preparation is over and there now comes the test otf its adequacy. For the second group, the initial hurdle has been surmounted, but further obstacles lie ahead. The public is little impressed with anyone because he is a graduate of a particular institution, or a member of this or that association. It rates him according to his own merits and ambitions. In very truth the future rests in his own hands. We of the staff shall watch your progress and development With keen interest, hoping always that you will remember that a formal education is comparable to a bunch of keys, of value only as it is used to unlock the doors to opportunities and satisfaction in life.

This question has been asked many times during the last three years. It is our hope that this Year Book, the second published by the students of L.T.I., will adequately answer this question and will also help to create the public interest which is necessary for the successful growth of a young school. What does completed the future hold for the Lakehead Technical Institute? Plans have been to convert the Institute into a recognized junior university which will be known in a as the Lakehead College of Arts and Sciences. This new school will be housed modern building and situated on property close to both Lakehead cities. The social activities of our school year have been both pleasant and memorable and have been made successful by the enthusiastic participation of the students and instructors; and for this, our deepest thanks. We would also like to express our thanks to Dr. Bartley and to Mr. Braun, whose advice and guidance has greatly contributed to the success of our Students' Administrative Council. In a small school such as ours, neither the social events nor the athletic activities can be successful without the assistance of each individual student. It is this school spirit and enthusiastic support of all the students which has made this year at the Lakehead Technical Institute one which we will long cherish and remember. The administration of our Students' Council is a good example of that same representative government which is the greatest attribute of our democratic way of life. May our school continue to thrive and expand with that constant public interest and support, which is the strength of the democracy in which we live.

When the Year Book staff was assembled last fall, we were a group with little editorial experience behind us, and a great deal of work before us. We could not have accomplished our task alone. On behalf of the Year Book staff, I would like to thank Eric Newman, who spent so much of his time at the school dances taking pictures for the Year Book; Miss Pouncy who made such an excellent job of the students' portraits; Mr. Ross for his guidance and advice; and all the business men who, by their interest and advertisements, have made the publication of this 1951 Year Book possible. We have realized our goal, and feel sure that another tradition has become established at the Lakehead Tehnical Institute. The Lakehead Technical Institute has much to offer the people of Northwestern Ontario. Before the Institute was opened, local high school graduates wishing to continue their education had to travel almost a thousand miles to the nearest university in Ontario. Although the economy of this region is largely founded on the mining and forestry industries, there was no school anywhere in Northwestern Ontario where young men could be trained for these industries. Now, graduates from the two-year technical courses in Mining and Forestry at the Lakehead Technical Institute can successfully compete with older men who have spent years learning "on the job" in woods or mines. The demand for technical course graduates far exceeds the supply. In the University Division at the Institute, first-year courses in Arts. Applied Science, Commerce and Forestry are offered. Graduates from these courses must complete their work for a degree at another university. Our former students have established a commendable record of success in their university work. The instructors at the Institute are able to give individual attention to each student, and help him to bridge successfully the wide gap between high school and university work. Public School teachers wishing to obtain credits for their Permanent Teachers" Certificates are also accommodated in the Arts classes. made for the expansion of the Lakehead Technical Institute into The founding of this Junior College will depend on the interest and support shown by the people in the area served by the Lakehead Technical Institute. We hope that this Year Book will show to those interested the work carried on by our Plans have been a Junior College. school, as well as provide the Class of 1951 with a cherished chronicle of their year at Lakehead Technical Institute.

SIBLEY'S SECRET the island, which we now call Isle Roy ale, lived a tribe of O jib waywho had grown into the favour of the great god Kitci Manitou. Kitci Manitou alone knew of a silver mine on a small island in the middle of On Indians Thunder Bay, and he, anxious to see tell the Ojibways about the mine. his favourite tribe prosper, decided to Before he divulged the secret to the Indians, however, he made them promise never to tell the white-men; for if they did, he, Kitci Manitou would be turned to stone. The chief of the Ojibways, Nanna Bijou, took an oath that he and his followers could safely be entrusted with the great secret. Kitci Manitou, thereupon, called Nanna Bijou up to the highest point on Mount McKay and pointed out to him the precious island, far out on the shining blue of the great inland sea, Kitci Garni. The mine was rich with silver and soon the Ojibways became famous for their beautiful silver ornaments. The Sioux warriors became very jealous of the Ojibways and they determined to wrest the secret from them. They captured several of the O jib way braves and tried to force them by torture to give up their secret but the Ojibways were a brave and reliable tribe and they preferred death rather than giving in to their hated enemies or betraying Kitci Manitou. 10 �— LAKEHEAD TECHNICAL INSTITUTE YEAR BOOK SIBLEY'S SECRET Continued When the Sioux saw that physical force could not break down the resistance of the Ojibways, they planned to send their scout, Dark Sky, into the Ojibway camp, dressed as an Ojibway brave. Dark Sky, a crafty Indian, soon learned the location of the mine. immediately went to it to get some samples of the silver to give to prove that he had completed his mission. He to his chief some distance from his home camp when the wings and enshrouded the world in darkness. Because the night was so dark and there was no moon, Dark Sky decided to spend the night in the woods.

Over his face bones was stretched, none too generously, a coarse, ruddy skin. The forehead was obscured by a veil of straight, sandy hair surmounted by tufts of the same standing at attention across the top of his head.

His apparel was baggy at the knees and saggy at the coat pockets. A perennial drop hung from his nose. He would dig deep in his pockets to unearth a key, four or five beebees, some gum wrappers, and lastly, for me, a life-saver discolored with pocket dust and recognizable only by its hole.

In order to have the Institute established, a temporary (building was erected in be used until such time as enrolment justified larger, permanent buildings. The present quarters have been enlarged once and do not lend themselves to further expansion. 1948, to However, permanent buildings with facilities for sports and other extracurricular activities as well as classroom and administration quarters cannot be planned until the finances necessary for construction are available. substantial portion of the cost of these new buildings must come from local contributions. The Advisory Board of the Institute is at present arranging for the necessary funds. A A site comprising some eighty acres, located between the two cities of Port Arthur and Fort William, has been chosen as the location of the new school. The building committee of the Advisory Board is hopeful that, when building conditions become more stable, it will be able to erect permanent buildings which Will be both attractive to the student body and a credit to the Lakehead cities.

FORESTRY CAMP On the nippy Fall morning of October the eighth with a bewhiskered old cook, pots, pans, axes, beds and food supplies, the second year foresters, accompanied by Mr. C. J. Campbell, headed for their newly acquired camp. They worked furiously for the first week to repair the camp for the incoming cruising school, cutting wood, building shelves, tar-papering, washing floors, making saw horses and repairing meat houses. During the second week, the first year students arrived with Mr. P. Pollock. We were divided into parties with the second year boys as compassmen. Each party was outfitted with axes, abbneys, compasses, chains, calipers and tally-sheets. We started out on the strips at half past seven in the morning, ran approximately two miles of line, and returned. We spent the first part of each evening laying out the next day's lines and the remainder playing cards, singing or just "kibitzing" about. Evening highlights were solo singing performances by Beach, Storey and Foss. At the conclusion of the second week, the first year students returned to the city. The second year troupers stayed another week to cut pulp wood to defray the cost of operating the camp. By this time the boys were rapidly becoming ''bushed" and radical suggestions flew high. Zuggy wanted female cookies. The cook was thirsty and complained of the holes in the kitchen roof. Willie maintained there was a skunk under his bed, and Mud said that the odour of Yuletide's socks thickened the atmosphere about his bunk; but despite these minor grievances the boys dug in and cut their quota of thirtyfive cords of poplar on time. The wood was hauled to Red Rock by truck, where it was sold to the Brompton Paper Company. On the last day of the month, they packed the equipment and proceeded to Port Arthur, thus concluding the opening term of the Lakehead Technical Institute's Forestry Camp. 38 �"Eager beavers' Cruising �LAKEHEAD TECHNICAL INSTITUTE FIELD TR I PS YEAR BOOK Continued UTILIZATION TRIP WEST OF LAKEHEAD Monday, November 6th, the second year Forestry class took Horace Greely's advice and left Port Arthur for points west to observe camp construction, cut layout and anything else pertaining to Forestry.

Thursday and part of Friday were spent driving over "Mando" limits and viewing their operations. We were then driven to Vermilion Bay where we boarded our cars and began our drive to Dryden. Our drivers on the sixty mile trip were two employees of the Dryden Paper Company. On Saturday were shown the Dryden Mill and taken out to some of the Dryden camps. The class is deeply indebted to Mr. Campbell and everyone else who helped to make our trip so successful and so enjoyable. Special thanks go to all the cooks who provided us with an abundance of good things to eat. SECOND YEAR FORESTRY CLASS MAKES SECOND UTILIZATION TRIP Sunday, February 18, at eleven o'clock in the evening six second-year foresters departed for the East to observe the hauling operations of the Newaygo Timber Company. Marathon (Paper Company, and Long Lac Paper Company. Our first stop was Franz, a junction of the Algoma Central and Hudson Bay Railway with the Canadian Pacific Railway. Shortly after lunch we boarded a train for Mead. Newaygo's depot caimp. At one of the back camps, Willy Storey took the fellows for a sleigh ride, after Julian Pristansky Showed us how to harness a team. On Wednesday morning we boarded a train which took us to Oba, the junction of the A.C. and H.B.R. with the C.N.R. We waited for six hours, had lunch, then travelled via C.N.R. to Stevens, one of Marathon's depot camps. Here we saw some of Marathon's mechanical logging. On Friday morning we rode six miles south of Stevens to a waiting plane which flew us to Carumet, another depot camp, where we watched more hauling operations. Mr. Pollock, who accompanied us on the trip, was given the two fifteen-foot pieces of halfinch cable which we saw being spliced. Leaving Carumet, we arrived in Long Lac at eight o'clock Friday night. Here we visited two camps and saw several stages of hauling operations at the Long Lac Paper Company. On Saturday night we returned to Port Arthur. We had enjoyed a week of good food, good fun and an all-round educational trip. EXCURSIONS OF THE SECOND YEAR MINING CLASS During the week of October 2 to 7, the second-year Mining students made a trip to attend the annual meeting of District 4, Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, and also to visit the mines in that area. to Red Lake The first part of the week was spent in touring the various mines: Starratt Olsen. Madsen Red Lake, Campbell Red Lake, Cochenour Willans and Hasaga. The purpose of these visits was to learn the type of ore on each property and the methods and equipment used in the extraction of these ores. The mills and engineering offices were visited to gain a better appreciation of their operation. The students attended the convention and other functions during the latter part of the week. From January Port Arthur. milling the On the 24 to 26 another excursion was made, this time to the mines east of a better understanding of the problems of different types of gold ores.

N. 40 �LAKEHEAD TECHNICAL INSTITUTE YEAR BOOK FACULTY SHORTS ARTS The lowly Arts students are sometimes looked upon with condescension by students and Technical courses. Because we do not have a nine o'clock lecture every morning, because we do not spend every .afternoon in a laboratory, they tell us we have a "snap course," and that there is no practical value in the study of Arts. We choose to ignore the remarks of these Philistines, but would like to point out the part played by the Faculty of Arts at L.T.I, this year. The president, vice-president and secretary of the S.A.C. were all Arts students; six members of the Year Book editorial staff were from Arts; the coach and manager of the hockey team were from Arts; the captain of the rugby team was also an Arts student and our faculty was well represented on all the school teams as well as on the Mens' Athletic Society. If anyone is still unwilling to admit the superior intelligence and versatility of the Arts students, let him be escorted to the "Coffeeteria" (operated by Salo and Dubinsky, from Arts' of course) and let him be forced to drink seven cups of that boiled brew which they call coffee. Then abandon him to his' misery, for he is not worth saving. in the Science — Wally Dubinsky One half of the management and staff of the cafeteria.
