MICHAEL CULLUM NESBITT
Nezzy is probably best known this year on two
counts—as president of the Student Section, E.LC.
and as the attainer of the oniy first-class in Science
‘31 during the debacle at Christmas, 1930. In his
fourth year he wa secretary of the Class, and for
the last two years has played Senior “B” English
Rugby. During the summer of 1929 and 1930, he
attended the flying course at Camp Borden and gets
his “wings” next year.
VLADIMIR J. OKULITCH
Viad was born in St. Petersburg, Russia, and
belongs to Russian nobility. He is interested in
Geology and in the fourth year was high man of
the Geological Engineers. He is also on the executive
of the G. M. Dawson Geological Club. During the
summers VIad or “Oki”, as he is also known, has
worked as draughtsman and assayer for various mines
in the province. His chief interests at present are
the Pleistocene Ice Age and causes of glaciation. He
expects to return next year to do post-graduate
work in Geology.
WATTAN SINGH PANESAR
Wattan belongs to the well-known fighting race
of Sikhs, but is himself rather peaceful and believes
in the non-violent, non-resistant policy of Gandhi.
He obtained his early education in India and East
Africa and joined us two years ago from the Uni
versity of California. He is interested in every
thing mechanical from chronometers to the govern
nsent of India. He spends all his spare time in the
service of his community in Vancouver and intends
to return to India to make use of his training as a
Mechanical Engineer.
JOHN LAWRENCE PLANT
John L. is a military roan—anyone could tell
that from the way he walks. He holds a commis
sion in the C.O.T.C., of which he is an original
member; and enjoys life in the summer as an officer
in the Royal Canadian Air Force. This service will
probably benefit from John’s talents after he gradu
ates. Competition is the spice of his life; he likes
boxing, chess and any kind of argument. Altogether,
he is a successful student and a good chap.
HOWARD ROBSON WRIGHT
The Radio expert of the electrical class and one
of the chief organizers of the Radio Club. His
nocturnal habits have always been an unsolved mys
tery to his fellow students. He is one of the veter
ans of the Varsity Senior Soccer Club, and one of its
best supporters. Earned the unqualified admiration
of the other electricals by developing the art of
sleeping throughout lectures and producing complete
notes at the end of the hour. One of the chief
gloom banishers of the “Light Brigade.”
