GREEN, John.Look at that sm ile. It flickers like a loose electric lightbulb. John is a serious soul who tr ies to sm ile bravely even inthe examination room. He con be disarming even if his co un ­t ry isn't. Actually he 's all kindness and underst anding. H isoutstanding work won h im an S.E.C. scholarship and we lookforward to the t ime when he 's wrapping up the kilowatts atYallourn for we poor consumers. Oh well, they sa y that whatyou don't know won 't hurt you. Some of us ho veri't felt atwinge of pain in years. Keep smiling John, It makes everyonewonde r what you've been up to .DISNEY, Graeme.Graeme came in under full soil from Sandringham Tech.and berthed at Coutee pier. His yacht ha s been in dock eversince a nd is being rapidly covered with barnacles. Graemeha s fallen bock on his old " bomb" an Au st in seven. This carcan outrun barnacles. Its bra kes are quite efficient at lowspeeds. In second gear travel Iing at 7 or 8 m .p.h. a suddenapplication of the foot brake br ing s the co r to a dead stop in360 yards. Oh well , there were just as many reckless drivers50 years ago--but in those days they drove something thathad more sense than they did.TURTON, Geoffrey.Wh ile at Sandringham Tech. Geoff's teachers decidedto make him a civil engineer-with the accent on c ivil. Henow relaxes in our c loiste red edifice dreaming of dams andbridges and th ings. He can design anything from a toostingfo rk to a cask of beer. He 's one of those lads who's determinedto harness the forces of Nature for the se rvice of man.Don 't try that t heory on women, Geoff. All these complexdesigns lea ve them cold. They love the s impler things inlife - men. Geoff's marriage will be the kind that needs anelectric blanket.ROBISON, Alan.Alan Archibald discovered our benevolent inst itut ionwhen on a paper chase from Scotch Coll ege. One glance atthe windows of the Art flo or and he realized he was at thewrong school. In fact he 's afraid he 's doing th e wrong course.Art is much more creative ond decorative than engineering.However he seems to be giving the dipl omo the works. He 'son e of th ose precis ion engineers. If you give him a n inchhe 'll mea su re it . H is la bora tory record is the so rt of bookthat on ce you put it down you can't pick it up again.6
