PRINCIPAL J.W . HAZEL TON, B.A., M.Ed., P. Eng.

PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE TO THE GRADUATES It is a real pleasure for me as your new Principal to have this opportunity of wr iting a few words to you, the graduates of 1964. Although I have been here only a few months, I have come to realize that the Hamilton Institute of Technology is a very good s choo l indeed, with excellent standards and a very fine tradition. It is my hope that as we grow in numbers and move to a fine new location, those traditions and standards wi II be mai ntained, and in fact, wi II grow to new heights of excel Ience. If I have a message for you it is a short one, and I am sure, one you have heard before. I feel, however, that it is important enough to merit repeating, and it is s impl y this -"keep learning" . You are growing up in a world in which time is compressed - changes are coming so fast that it is very difficult to keep up with them. For examp le, a per sonnel officer who hires engineers and scientists all across Canada told me recen t ly that they do not employ engineers who have been out of university for five years because they a re already out of date, unless they have experience in a particular area the firm is interested in, or unless they have taken courses of some kind to up-date themselves. Enormous changes in the human way of life have taken place within the lifetime of many now living. It is a fair guess to say that when your grandfather was born, there were no spaceships, no aeroplanes, no cars, no dryers, no washing machines , no refrigera tors, no atom bombs, no plastics, no television, no radio, no telephone. Life at t he beg inning of this century was much the same as life at the beginn ing of the century before a nd the century before that, but today the picture is enti rei y different and "the old order change th, yielding place to new." Modern science and technology have been of enormous benefit to man k ind in many ways, but they have created new problems too. For instance, new knowledge in the medical field in lowering the death rote has increased the population of the world enormous ly, and there are 120,000 more people in the world today than there were yes t erday. There are many problems to be met then, and many surprises in store for us. You must be prepared for surprises and change, and I suggest that the best way of do ing th is is through continuing education. Continued learning carries us beyond the easy judgment s and necessarily superficial training of youth, to the straight thinking, discipl ined crea tivi ty, and responsible co-operation of true maturity.

YEARBOOK STAFF

EDITORIAL This, your 1964 yearbook, is the result of the diligentÂˇwork of the yearbook staff and its advisors. We have attempted to prepare a yearbook which you w iII want to add to your other memoirs of your years at the Hamilton Institute of Technology. I am certain that every moment of your life at the Institute whether in academic, extracurricular or social activity, is worth remembering. My hope for this book has been that it would be a successful attempt to graphically pre s erve some of these valuable moments. My job as editor was made much easier by a devoted, industrious staff. The staff and I appreciate the sound advice and guidance of Mr. Armes, our staff advisor. Dave Grosvenor and Bill Connelly deserve special recognition for their achievements in photography and copy lay-out. Dick Snider, our Advertising Manager, has increased the number of advertisements in this book. I also wish to thank the other staff members for their reports and help in setting up the copy pages. I wish to extend my appreciation to Margaret, Ruth and Gladys for typing the reports and messages at such a short notice. Graduates, this is your yearbook, I hope it will serve it's purpose. May each of you in the course of the year have formed or continued at least one la s ting friendship. It may be the gre atest thing your alma mate r ha s made possibl e for yo u.

Ste ve Pet z Editor-in -Chief

You will find it nescessary to go on learning throughout your life in order to develop the capacity of adjustment and self-renewal that are so necessa ry in today's world. The late Dr. M.M. Coady who was a noted educati onal leader in Canada, once remarked, "The man who has ceased to learn ought not to be allowed to wander around loose in these dangerous days. ' ' May I say, in closing , that it is a pleasure to have known you this year. I wis h yo u every success in your career and in your I ife, and I kn ow that you are well-prepared to face the challenge of the future. As you take your place among the graduates of the Hamilton Institute of Technology, be sure that the best wishes of all of us will follow you along the way.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE The success of a school year can be best measured in terms of the corporate life of the inÂˇ stitution: in the co-operation of student and student; in the participation of student and staff in school activities; in the regrets felt by the graduating students, and in the growing sense of responsibility among the undergraduates. In all these ways, 1963-64 has been no exception at the Hamilton Institute, and, since it is impossible to mention either all students or al l act ivities, I shall content myself with a reference to a few persons and a few events, trusting that my feelings with regard to special cases are some indication of my response to the life of the Institute as a whole . would first say "welcome" to our new pr in cipal, Mr . J.W. Hazelton, with whom I have worked during the year. Our relationship has been enriched by Mr. Hazelton's keen perception of the social as well as the academic needs of the Institute . Next, I would I ike to say "thank you " to Messrs. Mitminger and Whatton for the ir kind advice and patience during the pursuit of Students' Administrat ive Council affairs. And I must not forget the four busiest students in the Institute: Hank de Jong, Clark Ruddle, Bill Green and Joe Ball, my fellow-officers on the Council, and certainly, the chaps without whose efforts I would have been lo.st. The present student council has ma intained a constan t interest 1n student affairs, and, by this concern, has made this year's student-administration a smoothly running affair. My congratulations to these people, too! Two new student clubs have emerged in the past few months : the Circle K, an in depend e nt organi zation of Kiwanis International, and a chess club under the le adership of Ernie T kachuk. Such organ izations augur well for the development, within the Inst itute, of a lasting school spirit. Nor must I forget the editor and his assistants of Opus I, the school newspaper. Under Bryan Sharpe's leadership, Opus I is fast becoming ci progressive organ for the free interchange of student and staff opinion. As I leave you, t he students, and you, the Institute, I would like to say farewell and "thank you" to the student-body as a whole; without your interest and c onsideration n either I nor my fellow-workers in student affairs could have had success. Keep up the good work, fellows, and give to my successor the same splendid co-operationthatyou have given me .

FOOTBALL Guided by our coach, Dr. Ksiazeh; Assistant Coach, Vince Scott; Athletic Director, Mr. Marko, H.I.T. had a very successful football season. The team suffered only one loss in four games. The high light of the season was the trip to Kingston to play R.M.C. It was wonderful to return victoriously . Bill Pitt was the most valuable player of R.M.C. game. The trophy for this achievement was presented to B iII at the Footba II dance in January. We hope that the team spirit of 1963 will prevail in 1964. Dalton Ferris I.M.T. II

INTRAMURAl GOLF At the beginning of this 1963-64 scholastic year the fairways of the Southern Pines Golf Course were invaded by members of the various c lasses of the Hamilton Inst itute of Technology a ll vying for a position in the Annual Intramural Golf Tourney. For approximately a month, every afternoon golfers from H.I.T. teed off in either their first or second round of the contest. The contestants were div ided into two sections, Novice an d Professional so that the competition was somew hat fair. As the players came into the ninteenth hole at q uite varied hours the topic of conversation

'"Âˇ--Âˇ - ---' ~

Golf, one of the universal sports of today's adults is one made of exercise that everyone cou ld use at some time or other. Golf is one sport that can be carried on as you progress through life. In September 1963, the minor varsity golf commenced for the young men of H . I.T . Approximately twenty players tried out for varsity golf, but unfortunately only five candidates were left when prac t ice terminated during October . They prac tised about three weeks at the Sou t hern Pines golf course before going to Don Valley Golf Club in To ronto for the game. The four playe rs and one spare man were chosen to play at Tor onto by Professor Ray Murray and Hami Iton Institute's Physical Education instructor, Mr. Marko. Bob Biehler, captain of the varsity golf team procured a score of 91 and Bob Nicol secured a score of 89. Ken Wi llms c hosen as the fifth man , operated as a spare. Since the response toward varsity golf was very good thi s year, le t's hope that the interest i s susta ined and augmented in years to come. W. Wayne Lee 1G

VARSITY BOWLING

BACK ROW: Emil Knebel, Wayne Hulme, John Bolegoh, Cliff Lister, Vaughn Foster . FRONT ROW: Gordon Bolegoh, Don Rohr, Gord Wood , Tom Tureski.

Bowling is increasingly becoming on active and popular sport. Amidst the many activities offered by the athletic directorate, bowling is one that provides a form of pleasant recreation for t he student in his future years. The O.I.A.A. tournament held on February 15, brought a 'maze' of players to the Skyway Lane s in Hamilton, all trying for the top honours. Of the nine teams competing, H.I.T . placed fourth with T. Tureski leading the scoring. It is hoped that the enthusiasm displayed this year will be carried o n in the years to come. Bill Gorolczuk , IB

INTRAMURAL BOWLING The 1963-64 Intramural 10- Pin Bowling League was highlighted by very consistent bowling on the port of all thos e who participated in the action. Although the standings were very c lose, wi th only seven points separating the first and eigth place team, the second year IMT-1 come out on top. The most outstanding display of bowling was g iven by G . Bolegoh who took top honours fo r the high single triple and high overage. Others who deserve recognition for their fine effort ore R. Sabodos, C. Lister, T. Uriski, D. Losinski, E. Rohr and L. Granger. Ron Ma cMeekin, IC

H.I.T. ROAD RALLY H.I.T.'s second annual Road Rally, sponsored by the Athletic Association, proved t o be a challenging event as well as a very dusty one. For a change of pace and landscape the road romp was staged in October and the weather man co-operated by providing a perfect Sunday afternoon for rallying. A road rally might well be likened to a foxhun t on four wheels with "time" being the fox. Twenty-six entr ies registered for the event with autos ranging from the small and quick sports car to the enduring Detroit type auto. Endurance proved to be the winning quality for Dickie and Miller of IH who took the " checkered flag" in a '59 Pontiac convertible. It was some consolation to the sports car set to see that they at least had their top down. After the dust had settled and a rather upsetting disqualified first section was ruled out, the names of second, third and fourth finishers were unscrambled from the score sheets. They were the following:

Winners: Glen Miller, Gordon Dickie.

2nd ------ ----Handcock and Mi II ington lA MGA Twin CAM 3rd ----------George and Busche Ill EN A MGA Twin CAM 4th ---------- Batzol d and Cudmore II EN A MK I Sprite

Intramural points were allot ted accordingly to all registered entries as well as to the first four finishers who were presented with dash plaques at the Athletic Association's Annual Awards Presentation Smoker. Judging from the success of the Road Rally in the past two years it seems highly probable that the Road Rally will become a standout of the H.I .T.'s sports calendar in the years to come.

INTRAMURAL ICE HOCKEY The action-packed, intramural ice-hockey league played its games at Scott Park Arena on Tuesday nights. The league, the most popular and successful intramural sport, consisted of eight team s (over 100 students). The games were well -played to th e end, with lCD, lAB, and Textiles being among the top teams. The star players were Bill Buchanan (8 goals), J. Barto (5 goals), Larry Couldridge (5 goals) and B. Sorokopud (5 goals). If the spirit shown this year continues, then Intramural Hockey will be the outstanding sport at H.I.T.

VARSITY TENNIS The H.I.T. tennis team held their pract ices two nights a week after school. Pract ices were conducted at the Dofasco Tennis Courts, under the coaching of Mr. Vern Macdonald . Mike Barber, H.I.T .. 's number one player, played a steady allround game . John Sealey capitalized on h is tricky wrist shot and Jim Hajas displayed his deadly power serve (it seldom went in). On the basis of points gained, York University emerged victorious with seven . Laurentian University came second with five and Osgoode Hall third with four. Ryerson obtained three points and H. I. T. one .

VARSITY TABLE TENNIS Because table tennis is the only sport for which our school has foci I ities, it would seem that we should be well represented at the Intercol legi ate tournament, and so we were. On Saturday, February 8, our team journeyed to Waterloo University to meet the top "smashers" and "back spiners" in LEFT TO RIGHT: Hank DeJong, Dick Snider, Szales Mayer, Dine Lauro, Mike Dautovich.

Ontario. Mike Dautovich and Dine Lauro were to play "singles" while Szales Mayer and Hank DeJong paired up for

"doubles". The entire team did very well cons ider ing the tough competition and came in fourth. A banquet was planned for the players but because of the gruelling competition of the afternoon they decided to forego it. By the acti vity in the common room it looks as though H.I. T. will be well represented again next year. Dick Snider

INTRAMURAL TABLE TENNIS If the activity around the ping-pong tables in the Common Room is any criterion, it would seem that table tennis is one of the most popular sports at H.I.T. , and for good reason. Each year there is an intramural championship tournament both in singles and doubles, and the champions points all go towards the standing of their classes in the intramural competitions. Besides these more formal considerations, there are quite a few side-benefits to table tennis: it is a pleasant pastime that develops in its p layers mental and physical alertness; it is an entertaining sport to watch, and it provides a way for students to get together f'or fri e ndly chatter in a way not offered by any of the other spo rt s. The champion player this year was Szales Mayer. I hope that the interest in table te nnis will grow with the years, and continue to provide many enjoyable and friendly hours for spectator and participant al ike. Sza les Mayer Textile 111

VARSITY CURLING

The annual O.I.A.A. Curling Championship was held at the Kitchener Granite Curling Club on February 21 and 22, 1964. The Waterloo Luthern University proved to be very capable hosts for the event. FollowD ing an elaborate steak dinner at the host university, Friday e vening, the curlers were invited to a private home for a party. Although we did not return with any trophy, we had four very good games. Jim Sharpie's rink from Osgoode Hall defeated John Turner of Ryerson to become the champions of the bonspei I. More organized practices and interest would improve the calibre of our entry. Steve Petz I.M.T. 11

VARSITY VOLLEYBALL

In 1964, a volleyball team was formed to represent H.I.T. at the Ontario Agricultural College tournament in Guelph .

The team placed fourth behind O.A.C., Waterloo and Ryerson. This is a very creditable sh owing taking into CO!)Sideration that practices were limited and man power was low. However, it is hoped that the team spirit of 1964 will continue to grow next year. Ron Wett lau fer

The enthusiastic hockey team was well armed with brawn and brain this year but the flying "Hawks" were shaken by the playing of teams from Osgoode and York. However , the great spirit of the Hawks carried them to victory at York (2nd game) and W.O.I.T. The scoring players of the Hawks were Biehler, Coons, McKnight, Millington, Ray Proc, Mattussi, and Joe Torti. The spirit shown this year makes it safe to predict a successful coming year.

The H.I.T. Judo Club was formed in 1958 to prQ~Vide the students with a recreational activity that could be carried on even after the student had graduated. Judo improves the body and brings it into tip-top shape while sharpening the wits and reflexes. The facilities for practising judo had been gi ven by the Hamilton Kodokan Judo Club. At the club classes are given twice a week under the guidance of Mr. Ish ibashi, who is one of the highest ranking judo experts in Canada. Mr. Ishibashi believes that any student who is wi !ling to take judo seriously during his three years at the Institute can attain the black belt rank in his third year or soon after .

The members of the team who represented the Ham i Iton Institute were Doug Harrison, Doug Hamilton, Gerry Provencher, Jim Hajas, and Eugene Gregor. Doug Hamilton, who is in his first year, played successfully to the semi-finals before bowing out to Assumption University's candidate. Intramural Badminton has not yet begun, but preparations for the tournament are underway. There seems to be much enthusiasm and the hope is that the tourney will be as successful as it has been in previous years. Eugene Gregor I.M. T. II

THE CHESS ClUB Organized late in the school year, the Chess Club nevertheless, is off to a good start. With an active membership of 18, excellent chess sets and books and instruction for the novice, the club looks to be a permanent part of the school life. Planning ahead, the Club Executive hope within the next 2 years to triple the membership and to compete vigourously for the attention of the student body. E. Tkachuk President.

THE ClASSICAl MUSIC CLUB The Cla"S sical Music Club is unique at H. I. T. in that it provides an opportunity for instructors and students to meet informally and share a common interest, music, and also to exchange ideas on subjects other than schoolwork. Good fellowship is the keynote, and good music and good food produce the harmony. The field of music covered is fairly broad, with some works having much shorter hair than others. Although the meetings held this year were few, their quality was high, and even better ones are expected in the future. V. Wilson

HAM CLUB

Would you like to ta lk to anyone, anywhere in the world, at almost any time you des ire? Most likely your answer would be, "Yes, but I would have to spend a lot of money on a telephone bill." This is not true, however, if communication is carried out through amateur radio.

Amateur radio is a scientific hobby, a means of gaining personal skill in the fascinating art of electronics and an opportunity to aommunicate with fellow hams by private shortwave radio. Scattered over the g lobe are over 300,000 amateur radio operators who perform a service defined in international law as one of, "self-training, intercommunication and technical investigations carried on by duly authorized persons interested in radio technique solely with a personal aim and without pecuniary interest."

Here at H.I.T. there is an amateur radio station with the call sign VE3HIT. The radio operators in the Institute, Dean Holden, YE3CHH, Dennis Toth, YE3FEG, and Philip Pitman, VE3DQK , have had many contacts throughout the world. The credit for establishing the club must be given to such former operators as Larry Sabo and Bob Yager. Some of the places that have been contacted are Lybia , in South Africa, South America, North West Territories, British Colubmia , Saskatchewan, Jamaica, Mexico, Venezuela, Bermuda, and the Bahama Islands, to mention on ly a few.

Some students who were interested in becoming radio amateurs (hams) have come to a radio course, directed by Phi lip Pitman . The class has had instruction in the International Morse Code and in radio theory, both of which are a requirement to obtain a government radio licence. The c lass has ten members. One member is Mr. Spencer, who will be sponsoring the Institute's license as soon as he himself is licensed. With a permanent licensed staff member, the ham club can look forward to cont in ual instruction and supervision for a growing and educational hobby . Philip Pitman.

ELECTRICAL CLUB The primary objective of the 1963-64 Electrical Club was to provide future clubs with a continuous project. The outcome of the initial meetings was the decision to construct a Remote Controlled Robot, a project that could be constructed over a number of years. The Club was divided into separate comm ittees, each working on different aspects of the design. With the ground work completed, it is hoped that future Electrical Cl u bs will see that the actual construction is completed. The club members made themselves available to assist interested students in the Electrical Laboratory after school hours. This procedure proved successful and will be continued in following years. Recently, steps ha ve been taken to

form a student branch of th e Instrument

Society of Ameri c a. The I.S.A. is an international organization of profe ssional people involved in the instrument and control field. It is felt that by the formation of a student branch, the members will be supplied with the latest information, and may further benefit by association with a professional group. Our best wishes go to the Control Systems Club who wi ll complete th e worthwhile project that we,Jla ve turned over to them. L.R. Morton Club Secretary.

THE STUDENT BRANCH OF THE INSTITUTE OF ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS (Electronics Club) This has been the second year that the student branch of the I.E.E.E. was active in the Hamilton Institute of Technology. Since receiving our Charter in 1962, both membership and activity hove increased rapidly. There ore approximately fifty active members in the group this year. Monthly meetings hove been held throughout the year where open discussion is encouraged. Several films of interest to the Electronics students hove been shown. The Electronics Deportment purchased a stereo reproduction system in kit form and these kits were assembled by the club members. As in post years, the laboratory and equipment has been mode available to those students who desired to work on individual pro jects. As well, the Student Branch began a new project, the design and construction of a radio-controlled cor' which is expected to be operative by the end of the school year. We hope that work on this project will continue next year as the system is improved. The highlight of the Student Branch's activities was a tour of the Hamilton Be l l Telephone Building on March 5. The call-control centre was of particular interest to many of the members. I would like to thank Mr. G.L. Pol, our club advisor and Head of the Electronics Deportment, and the other focu Ity members whose advice and assistance helped to make this a successful year for the I.E.E.E. Student Branch. Monte Smith President.

MANAGEMENT TECHNOLOGY ASSOCI ATIO N Many things of importance occurred in 1964. The most important occurence was the placing of the first graduates of Industrial Management Technology into industry. Everyone was pleased with the reception given them by industry. Each student hod several job offers. The first graduates ore the ambassadors of the I.M. T. course. The impression they give industry will hove repercussions on all future I.M.T. graduates . We, who know the substance of their training and most important of all their character, ore confident that they will be successful. Graduates, may you bear in mind "That you con make your lives sublime, And you, deporting leave behind Footprints in the sands of time." In September, a new course will be initiated at H.I.T. The course will be named Busines.s Administration. The initiators of this course felt that it would appeal to the student who was more inclined toward the commercial rather than the manufacturing aspect of industry. This course will be under the capable direction of the I.M.T. deportment. In 1964, the M. T .A. organized several very successful pi ant tours. The club members visited Westinghouse, Proctor and Gamble, Stelco and I.B.M. in Don Mills. The highlight of all tours was a three day excursion to Detroit, where we visited Americon Industry. Again in 1964, as in 1963, the M.T.A. was the first club to hold a "smoker." Mr. Hines, senior staff, Industrial Engineer at Stelco, gave a very informative talk on incentive plans. TheM. T.A. organized two mor e smokers before the year ended. Another feature of the M.T.A. worthy of mention is the "stags" which were held. The fellowship of all I.M.T. students and teachers was enlivened by their "stags." The success of all of the activit ies of theM. T.A. con be attributed wholly to the willing guidance and advice given by Mr. Mitminger, Mr. Jam ieson, Mr. Partridge and Mr. Smith. On behalf of the M.T.A., soy "thanks" to these dedicated men. D.T. Ferris, Post President.

THE MECHANICAL ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY SOCIETY The Mechanical Club started the school year with a new executive and a new list of projects. Suggested by the second year students, one of the most ambitious projects, from the point of view of organization, is an intended visit to the World's Fair in New York City in the autumn of 1964. Planning this trip has demanded much effort and hard work by the second year students. One of their ingenious methods of raising money to sponsor this trip is the showing of movies at lunch-time. A nominal charge is made at each showing and the films have been very informative sometimes entertaining. The films have ranged from "Coupe des Alpes" to "How a Transistor Works." With the effort and planning that has already been made, there is every evidence that this visit will be a success. Technical projects are understandably an important function of the Club. Three projects were undertaken, the hover-craft, a rotary engine and a pulse jet. Development of the hover-craft was discontinued because the project, from the point of view of bot h design and expense, had reached the limit of the Club's resources. The rotary engine project was initiated at the design level. The "Wankel" principle is being followed and it is hoped to have either a demonstration or a working model completed in 1965. The intention is to build a working model, but if it does not work, we will have a static model. A pulse jet is being built by the Club. When completed , it will be attached to a stand with a strain gauge apparatus enabling calculation of the amount of thrust being produced. These projects have been designed to be continued in futu re years. We wis h our inheritors the best of luck. Mike Barber.

THE CIRCLE K We are glad to announce the organization, in 1963, of a branch of the Circle K. (Kiwanis International) at the Institute. The club was presented its charter at a gala luncheon presented by the Kiwanis Club of Hamilton East on November 11, 1963, and since then has acquired a total membership of 28. At the moment, the Circle K has undertaken the management of the Institute student parking lot and is helping with operation of the Hamilton East Kiwanis Boys' Club. Harvey Hunt, 111 Textiles, has been spending every Saturday morning at the Boys' Club giving diving instruction to a group of teen-aged eager beavers. Two special meetings sponsored by the Circle K deserve special mention: one at which Mr. R.R. Priest lectured to the group on life insurance, and one at which Dr. D. Stewart of McMaster University gave an i lluminating address on conditions in East Germany. Dr. Stewart's lecture was preceded by the film, DIVIDED GERMANY .

.,.,

Having got off to such a good start in 1963-64, the Circle K hopes to increase its membership substantially in 1964-65, with a broader programme of benevolent and soc iable activities.

Dave Tucker, 111 T exti Ies, Secretary.

TEXTILE SOCIETY Led by its executive, Joe Ariagno, Presidentj Ron McDougall, Vice-President; and Bill Rubble, Secretary-Treasurer; the Textile Society in 1963-64 has continued to be one of the most effective clubs in the school. Meetings have included informative discussions, often initiated by guest speakers from industry, and motion-pictures pertaining to work and developments of Textiles, both from theoretical and practical stand-points. To supplement regular meetings, the Society has also sponsored parties and Tours. The high-light here was the tour of the DuPont and C.I.L. plants in Kingston which took place during the mid-winter vacation at the end of February. Thirty-five members were able to go on this three-day outing. As in past years, in order to stimulate an interest in Textiles among first-year students and to encourage school-spirit, the Soc iety manufactured scarves in the school colours. The Society owes a vote of thanks to its new faculty advisor, Mr. D.W. Bruce, for his able assistance and perseverance. Mr. Bruce, Instructor of Dyeing at the Inst-itute, soon found himself involved in the Society's projects and meetings and provided the executive with expert guidance. The enthusiasm and increased enrollment of the first and second-year Textile Technology classes indicates that the Textile Society will continue its successes into the future. Da vid R. Tucker
