It is fitting tha t this publication should be dedicated to Mr. C. C. Ashcroft, who until
September, 1957, was principal of the Provincial Institute of Textiles, which, on September 1, 1956, became The Hamilton Institute of Technology. In its expanded form, the Institute is . building up an educational programme in industrial technology, not only in textiles, as formerly, but in m echanical, electronic, and electrical technology, and in as many o.ther fields as the increasing demands of industry shall dictate. This cannot be done in a day, a week, a year. Nor will it be possible at all, without the splendid co-operation already received from the leaders of industry in the district which the school serves. Above all, it will require in ,the future the same devoted efforts on the part of its teaching staff and administra tive officers tha t it has had in the past. Mr. Ashcroft, now retired, has been jus,t such a devoted officer. By establishing The Provincial Institute of Textiles on such a firm footing he has forestalled many of the difficulties faced by the other Provincial Institutes now ge.tting under w.ay in Windsor and in Ottawa. The present staff of The Hamilton Institute is thus deeply grateful to him. The students, too - - - and I feel that I am expressing the opinion of the student body - - owe much to Mr. Ashcroft's efforts for the school. By building up the plant itself, h e h as provid ed a necessary base for the extended programme which the students now enjoy. Thus, though in a slightly different way, we of the student body are enjoying the benefits of Mr. Ashcroft's long term of office, and we a re sincerely th ankful. As one studen,t among many, with many .more to follow, m ay I then dedicate our 1957-58 Yearbook - - - also in expa nded form - - - to you, Mr. Ashcroft, our form er principal.

D. H. CRAIGHEAD PRINCIPAL
Greetings From The Principal Three years ago, graduation day seemed far distant, but the three years have passed only ,too quickly. As freshmen you entered the Provincial Institute of Textiles; as graduates you will receive the diploma of the Hamilton Institute of Technology.
In the first year, you were introduced to a language
pecul~ar
to textiles, and were nurtured on
such terms as sliver, dyes tuffs and carding. This past year, in. the common room, you were in;troduced to a new language involving electrons, slugs, oscilloscopes, lathes and phase angles. Changes with more changes to come! And you, too, have changed from a carefree adolescent to a resourceful graduate, academically prepared to take yo ur place in the world of industry. On entering this world of
indu ~try
you must be prepared to accept again the status of a
freshman, willing to listen and to le,a rn, and thereby to combine the principles formulated by your instru cto rs with ;the practical skills of the men with whom you will associate. If you wish to succeed, you must temper the enthusiasm of youth and knowledge with the sobriety of maturity and practical wisdom. W~th
your names add ed to the ever-increasing list of textile graduates, the Institute is proud
to have yo u join this select fraternity, and we hope you will ever be proud to be numbered among the g raduates of the HamiLton Institute of Technology. Now, as you leave to compete for those positions towards which your textile education has been the first step, on behalf of the faculty, I wish you continued success in your chosen career.

Report from the President of the Students' Administrative Council The 1957-58 school year has seen many changes in student activities . When the session commenced last September, the vice-president a nd myself were co nfront ¡~ d with the problem of organizing a Students' Council which would serve the nee ds, not only of the la rger student body of this year, but a lso of an ever increasing student body. As our chief aim, this reflected the strong desire of the Students'
Administrative Council to
es tablish a solid foundation for the student act ivities of futur e years. We discovered tha t the constitution of the previous Studen ts ' Council was no lon ger applicable to a larger school; therefore, a new one had to be set up. This fact caused major administrative changes and what must have seemed an excessive number of co uncil meetings. The 1957-58 school year has seen the introduction of an active Glee Club; a variety show on a larger scale than anything previously undertak en (with due thanks to Mr. Cooper) ; a new an d more adaptable constitution ; an insurance scheme; an H .I.T. school crest; and the standardization of winter and spring jackets; a high fidelity recording system ; a badminton club ; a basketball team in an industrial league; more social activities, and a more expensive yearbook. In spite of these innovations, the Council is still feeling its way, and has by no means reached all its objectives. I think that in the midst of our growing pains we have put into effect many sound principles, which we hope the new Council will pick up, and, not on ly carr y on, but expand and develop. The Students' Administrative Council owes a gr eat deal of its progress to the effor ts of Mr. Whatton, the Honorary: President, to Mr. Mitminger, the Honorary Treasurer and to Mr. Craighead , the Principal of the school and Honorary Chairman of the Athletic Committee. We wish to thank these people, and we hope that we have given them as much co-operation as they h ave given us. I would also like to thank a ll the members of the Students' Administrative Execu tive, of th e Students' Administrative Co uncil, of th e various committees, a nd all those who have worked to make each project a success. Now is the time to look ahead. I ho_pe that the new Council
IS
the most effi cient one tha t the Institute
has ever had. After having spent one year in stud ents activities, I would like to offer a few words of advice to th e new Council members. God gave yo u two ends to use One to sit with and one to think with. It all depends which on e yo u choose
Whether yo u win or whether you lose. Bob Dickson
TO THE YEARBOOK EDITOR For the first tim e, the past editors of the yearb ook are goin g to have to sit up and take notice. The yearbook has grown in step with the increased student
body~
an d because of your concen tra ted
effort, you have now set a standard for future yearbook editors. Congratulations. Bob Dickson

From The Editor As the end of a nother school year approach es, it brings with it another publication of the Situdents' Associa tion Yearbook. T his year, there has been a large increase in student enrolment and it was felt tha t the yearbook should also inc rease in size a nd coverage . As a res ult you will find a n increase in the number of p ages, a n increase in the p age size, a n increase in the number of pictures, and a different typ e of cover a nd binding. \Ve of the yearbook staff have tri ed to ma ke th e yearbook as interes ting as possible, a nd we hop e th a t you will enjoy reading it. Since tex tiles is no longer the only course being ta ught a,t H .I.T. , it has been ou r a1m to give equa l representa ti on to all courses a t th e Ins titute. Although the yearbook staff is di rectly respo nsible fo r the publica tion of a yearbook, we do no t claim all ;the credit for wha t has gone into this edition. Mu ch credit must go to M r. Craighead a nd Mr. V\fh.a tton for their advice a nd guidance, to the office girls for their assista nce, a nd to each studen t who contribu,ted of his time a nd talent. I would like to tha nk each one wh o h elped so willingly to ma ke the publication of the yearbook a success. Without adverti sements it would be impossible to publi sh the yearbook a,t all; h ence tha nks is due to each comp a ny who purch ased ad ver tising sp ace. As the gradua ting class leaves the Institute t o go into industry, I would like to wish each one of my classma tes a successful future in his new wo rk. To those students who h ave not yet reach ed g radua tion, good luck in yo ur continued studies.

The wo rld first h eard Fred Ball's
complaints on June 7, 1936. Fred, who has received several nicknames since coming to H .I.T. , has recently been dubbed " Cricket". " Cricket" graduated from Saltfleet High School in June 1955. On entering H.I.T. , h e intended to regis,ter in the dyeing and chemis,try course; however, h e h ad to settle for cotton spinni ng and weaving. Fred is an ardent sports fan , so a rdent at times tha t his comments about Montreal teams had ,to be deleted from this book. C.I.L. is the firm that is going to take care of Fred for th e next few years . Since coming to H.I.T. , Fred has shown himself to be a competent an d intellig(nt student. All the best , " Cricket"!
Charles Bowm.an - Chuck's first dream of a car started in September 193 7, in Hagersville. After attending Hagersville High School, Chuck decided to bring hi s musical p ersonality to the Provincial Institu te of Textiles, where h e chose chemistry and d yeing as an option. Since then, the old piano in the common room has poured out hours of jazz music of all styles, from barrelhouse to progressive. \1\Tho will ever forget "Lull a by of Birdland"? But Chuck's ,talents go furth er than that. Besides being a n expert on cars and a " bout-en -train" , h e has also proved to be a hard worker a nd, therefore, a successful student. His integrity and hi s determin,a tion will certainly make him a trump card in the hands of his employe r. Good Luck, Chuck!

Before corning to H .I.T. , Roland worked for four years a t Courtaulds, as a lab-assistant in the research dep a rtment. After a year of general study, the Chemistry and D yeing Departments at H.I.T. lured ano,ther student its way. During the past three years, "BONES" , a name adopted by fellow students, has been very active in social activities at the school, and this year is Social Convenor. Although very busy wi,th social activities, occasionally you will see him playing a game of pingpong or checkers, and h e is usually very successful. Roland is not sure where h e will be working after graduation, but it seems certain that h e will be married before long. I am sure that Roland will do very well in industry, and we wish him the best of luck.

Ramon first smiled at the
wo rld on April 4, 1936, in Mexico. Before coming to H.I.T. , h e attended the
Inst~tuto
Colon and the Instit-
uto Oriente in his native land. The nurses of the Hamilton General Hospital are his chief concern, with cotton spinning and weavmg as a close second. Don't be surprised if he takes a nurse home with him. A sportsman, interested in soccer and hockey and ping pong, he has earned the title of "Rocket". At the school' s ath letic representative, he has an done an excellent job, taking the same painstaking interest in this activity that he takes in his work. Buena Suerte, Ramon!
Ronald H. Hanson - " Harry" m,ade his first impression upon the world during 1932, in Milltown, New Brunswick. After his graduation from Milltown High School in 1949, h e worked in the quality control department of Canadian Co.ttons, Ltd. In 1953, h e received a sponsorship from Textile Sales, Ltd., which enabled him to attend the Hamilton Institute of Technology. Unfortunately, part of the comp.any was liquidated and "Harry" had ;t o take a night job at Canadian Cottons in Hamilton, while h e attended the day classes at th e Institute. Although it m,ay appear that " Harry" is ex tremely¡ busy, we would lik e ,t o mention that his interests are stamp collecting and fishing. " Harry" is graduating from a textile manufacturing course, and because h e has an affinity for hard work, as well as a pleasant p ersonality, we are sure that he will be successful.

Cotton ¡Department
A nev,r Saco-Lowell ring frame capable of handling comparatively long fibres was installed in the department this year. There are two drafting systems on the frame, one, the SZ 2, can process fibres up to 2y2 inches, and the other, the SS4, fibres up to 8 inches in length. Blends of Acrilan, Hi-Bulk and R egular were made for the knitting department to process and study. '1\Torsted yarn was also spun. An interesting assignment for the students was blending cotton and metallic staple. Various m ethods were tried to keep the metallic component in the blend. Finally, to show wh at could be done vvith modern cotton spinning machinery, lOOs counts were spun from Egyptian cotton.

Woollen and Worsted Department
In the worsted department we have processed ,,vool, Arnel, Orlon and Terylene on conventional and shortened systems. Botany grey mixtures yarns, spun Qn Bradford , Ambler and American systems, have been evaluated from the vie,,vpoints of regularity, strength and degree of blending. On the woollen system, Terylene and Acrilan have been carded and spun on th e mule and ring frame for comparative purposes. Experimental processing has been undertaken for spinners and synthetic fibr e manufacturers; tests have been made, results analysed and reports submitted. Our programme has been full and the year all too short.

Knitting Department
The Knitting Department now lies secure within the one room, a nd this convenience has been enjoyed by the studients. As might be exp ec,ted, there are shortcomings. Power-d riven machinery occupies a liberal space, but the Harley Kays do not fare so well. As a result, first -year students have been seen, from time to time, to move with cau,tion even in the h allways. A satisfactory number of projects h ave been completed . Those of a practical nature included an overhaul of the Phi ladelphia J acquard, with a ch ange in design; exp erimentation on the R.T.R .; t h e knitting of hi gh-bulk yarns produced within the school ; exploration of ,t he patterning scop e of the RLP2, and examination of various aspects of quality control. T he much-used Komet B.R. sock machine performed, as usual, many more functions th a n those for which it was designed, and the F.N.F. warp knitting machine, still with its original wa rp, con ,t inued to demonstrate the effectiven ess of its warp let-off m ech anism. During the session, a number of opportunities were extended by industry to the department to share in solving a va riety of problems. T his fea ture, enjoyed a nnually, in ,a ddition ,to supplem en ting the regular course of s,tudy, often suggests ,a nd stimulates further research.

Weaving Department
During the past year the students of the Weaving Department undertook vanous proj ects involving fabric design and structure. Mechanical proj ects included the setting up of a T erry Motion on the Drap er loom, and the m anufacture of an extra heavy double structure tape for the ¡worsted D epartment. Fabrics h ave been analysed, specifications checked, and reports submitted. The fi eld trips we h ave undertaken this year have been stimulating, and v,re r eceived a most cordial welcome at all mills visited.

Chemistry and Dyeing Department
The third year students h ave been bu sy, as usual, making M alachite Green and other dyes, and busier still, cleaning up after each preparation. In the dyehouse, ¡ a number of dyeing and printing experim ents have been made to the interest and sometimes the amazement of occasional groups of inquisitive electrical and m echanical students. The second year students h ave becom e quite adept at boring corks and at bending glass tubes and thermometers. \Ale have enj oyed several interesting mill visits and are very grateful for the cordial relationship which exists between ourselves and industry. On two occasions, r epresentatives of industry have visited u s to demonstrate new dyestuffs. One novel feature of this year's work has been the Monday aft ernoon classes in l¡vhich we benefitted from the experience of pr actical dyers.

Electrical
Electronics Departments
In keeping with the policy of the Ontario D ep a rtment of Education , which provides instruction on a technological level in a variety of fi elds, cou rses in Electricity a nd Elec,tronics were inaugurated this year a t the Hamilton Institute. During past ye,ars, interest in Electricity and Electronics has been fostered by ,the excellent electrical cours es given by the high schools in Ontario, and by the publicity given by the newspapers¡ to the appli cation of electrical principles to the distribution of elect rical power, television, ra dio, electroni c compu,ters, rada r, balli sti c missiles a nd naviga tion sys tems for ships a nd aircraft . In the class room, basic principles and their a pplications have been stressed, a nd in the laboratory, these principles h ave been tes ted and verifi ed. F or the la tter purpose it was necessary to spend large sums on new equipmen.t, ,a policy which wi ll be followed assiduously for a t least two more years. New labora tory ta bles, designed esp ecially for our use, h a ve proved to be successfu l. The la boratory work is organized in g roups of ex p erime nt ~. E ach exp eriment h as been develop ed with a view to allowing the students to test ,the ideas which they h ave studied in the classroom, to acquire fami liari ty with tes ting a nd design techniques, and to develop the dex teri ty required to handle experimental equipment. Judged by the ra pid pro g ress being m ade by the students along these lines, this m ethod of approach appea rs to be highly s,ati sfactory. Three la bora tory sources h ave been set up a long these li nes, one for elec,tricity, in which fundamental electrical prin ciples a re investigated ; a second in electronics, in whi ch the principles a nd operation of electron tubes a nd tra nsistors are stressed, a nd a third, devo ted to the s,tudy of physics.

Mecl1anical Department
Students from a variety of districts and educational backgrounds met for the first time m September. A common purpose- tha,t of develop ing their ability to think, reason and to clearly express themselves mathematic,ally and in the conventional symbols essential to all engineering technologists -
bound the group ,together from the start. It is a pleasure to observe their allegiance
to the departmen t and to the Insti tute. Two visi,ts to industries proved to be valuab le. The vas tness and the organiz.ation of industrial plants impressed those for whom this was the first opportunity of observing those concerns. The operational skills of the workmen, the more technical features of one of ,the design offices, and th e physical testing labora tory of Canadian W es tinghouse Company, Limited, proved interes ting, while the whole process of steel manufacture, as observed at the S,teel Company of Canada, Limited, h elped to show the whole g roup some of the inter es t that awaits them in ,their industrial careers. As it has developed, the department h as supplemented the tee squares and parallel straight edges with enough drafting m achines to equip half of ,the drawing boards. Each studient
s houl~
now h ave ample opportunity to acquire the h a ndling technique which these machines require, if they are to be used efficiently in the process of tr ansmitting design ideas into the international Language of engineering drawing.

Sports Highlights 195 7-58 has proved for H.I.T. to be the starting point of a brilliant future in sports, and the baseball games \vhich are a traditional part of the September initiation ceremonies indicated this fact. The seniors, of course, won, but it was evident that "Fast Step" Courtemanche (III Textiles ) had met some real opposition in " Looper-Ball' Clark (I Textiles ). Nor has the promise of this first year opposition proved empty. Basketball is a good example of this fact. The season began with a house-league only, but, thanks to the effort s of Mr.
J.
Marko, our excellent basketball coach, H.I.T. was soon in the industrial league. Although the Institute has remained pretty well in the cellar position, the team has come up with some surprising wins, not to mention some outstanding plays by Hugh Clark, the captain, "Hot Shot" Brown, "Boom Boom" DeN ardis, "All Sports" Mitchell, and "Kosty" Kostas Bieliunas. The fellows feel that the future is bright, and H.I.T.'s expanding enrolment should zertainly bolster the team 's strength. Hockey, under the leadership of Chuck Green, has not done so well as basketball, probably because of the Institute's restricted numbers. However, Chuck, with the splendid cooperation of Don Molnar, has kept the boys' interest alive, Wednesday after Wednesday, and the exhibition games \Vhich were played were of excellent quality. "Quacky" Turcotte ap.d Pat Beaudoin, "the Ping-pong Kid" , acted as H.I.T.'s Maginot Line (like the original Maginot Line, it didn't work) , and Gerry Cunningham -
"Stick-Breaker"- fought hard.
All in all, the year has proved most successful and our thanks are due to the members of the Athletic Committee for their hard work. Especially are we grateful to Mr. Craighead for his support and expert advice in all our efforts. R amon Gonzalez Chairman Athletic Committee

Social Column Because of an increase in enrolment this year, the social life of H.I.T. has been on the upgrade. The year started off, of course, with initiation, which for obvious reasons, had to be limited to the wearing of lipstick and kerchiefs. A \Veiner roast was held at Charlie Smith's farm m order that freshmen and seniors could get acquainted. The event itself was enjoyed by all who attended; hm¡vever, Ron Hanson was slightly peeved, since no one fell into the "hole". The S.A.C. held tv,ro fall dances, one of which was the first orchestra dance ever to be held in the school. This dance was well attended and the evening proved to be a huge success. Before leaving for Christmas holidays, a Christmas party, at which gifts -vvere exchanged by students and staff, ,.vas held in the common room. Someone went so far as to buy Larry DeNardis a girdle. When students resumed classes after Christmas, spare time was taken up by rehearsals for H.I .T.'s first annual Follies. The Follies was presented on February 28, and although errors were made, the quality of the performance put on by the fellows was tops. Special mention goes to Mr. Whatton and Mr. Cooper, co-directors of the show, who put in quite a bit of free time and effort to make the show the success that it was. Several smokers were also held during the year, all of \¡vhich were well attended. As this issue of the Year book goes to press, plans are being made for our spring prom, which will be held in conjunction with the graduation exercises. I '"'ish to thank the members of the social committee - Larry DeN ardis, Claude Courtemanche, Don Stewart, Art Cann, Ken Podetz and Gerry Cunningham- for the work they have done during the year. I also wish to thank Mr. Hodgson for being a patron at all of our dances, and Charlie Smith and Les '1\Toodward for helping us out in all our social activities. Roland Boyer Social Convener

Hit Follies of 1958 "A bad dress rehearsal makes a good performance" is certainl y a true ad age for .H .I.T. F ebruary 2 7 w as the date of wha t turned out to be th~ world' s worst dress rehearsa l, and th e fellows -
no t to mention the staff
went hom e feelin g that th ey h a d laid a ver y ripe egg. However, on Friday, F ebruary 28, the cast of the HIT FOLLIES worked a miracle in Ce ntral a uditorium for an a udien ce of over three hundred , and, by some strange m agic, w hi ch worked in spite of false cues, flyin g mikes ( knocked off th e stage by the curtai ns ) a nd other mistakes, su ccessfull y pulled off H .I.T. 's first public show. A Glee Club, formed this year as pa rt of the p ermanent stud ent orga nization, and und er the able direction of Mr. E. Berry, direc tor of the Westing house M a le Choir, b egan the show with three selections: IT'S A GRAND N IGHT FOR SINGI NG, DRIN K TO ME O N LY.

Th e fru str a tion of "no dam es" was met with a be vy of not su ch " b eauties"-o ur fellows are a bit short on beauty-doing the ca n-can in the traditional bla ck stockings, between the suspenders of which peeked intriguing glimpses of male thighs and bla ck bottoms . Th e
timin g was good , thanks
to Miss es Monty a nd
Thomson, professional dancers of the H amilton a rea, who graciously gave their tim e (and good looks ) to train the boys; the on ly troub le was that some of the fellows h ad not ;mastered " right" and " left" where their fe e t ar e concern ed, a fa c tor whi ch added not a few laug hs to the show. Th ese same fell ows go t a .big h a nd , also, for th eir chorus line . The skits-TWO LITTLE GIRLS, THE PARSONS OF PUDDLE (Slack, Co urtemanch e, Dickson )fou nd th eir th em es in win e, wom en and song, resultin g in the classic rema rk of a graduate: " I suppose," said h e, " tha t n ext year it will be win e and women , a nd in th e on e a fter, just p la in sex" . W ell, anyway, it's a thought . On the more serious side, instr um ental mus1c ( Slack, Turcotte, Purser ) supported th e atmospher e of the short J acobs' p lay, THE GHOST OF JERRY BUNDLER, which was well rece ived in spite of techni cal faults. \â&#x20AC;˘Ve con g ra tu late the boys who worked so h a rd with the GHOST ; for most of them , dram a was a b~and-n ew ex peri en ce.

And we mustn ' t overlook the boys ( Ellis, Morris, Simpson ) who d id suc h a good job of sha king it up in th e Calypso number - M an! It's too loud ! W e wish that eve ryon e-in spite of all the h eada ch es-could have as good a tim e, a ll the tim e, as th e H .I.T. crowd on the loose, a nd "making mor e Follies than norm a ll y" .

public buildings and institutions, industrial products at a faster rate than the already expanded companies will be able to produce. Bigger plants will be needed and more research will have to be done to increase production and improve methods.
More and more Technicians, Engineers, Metallurgists, Chemists and Workers are needed for this expanding industry. In fact, growth of the industry DEPENDS on employment of talented young people who will accept the challenge and opportunities offered.
