Last Look - September 2008
Our thanks to Alan Wolfley, Steve Jarislowsky, Arnie Berlin, and Hemen Barooah (all MBA '49), who identified most of the circumstances of the September issue’s Last Look photo. Wolfley wrote: “The person pointing is, I think, King Peter of Yugo-slavia.” Jarislowsky agreed: “King Peter was a friend of a classmate. He came to the School; the picture is of him, no doubt.” Berlin wrote: “The person behind the king wearing a striped tie and a big smile is Milorad Ilich, a friend of Peter’s from Yugoslavia. The tall person in the back wearing a bow tie (whose face you cannot see) looks like Bill Chester (MBA ’49).” Barooah thought the man with a striped tie is Robert James (MBA 6/’48) and identified the man with his hand in his pocket as Bert Grand (MBA ’49). Greg Pilkington, a Bulletin reader who is apparently not an alumnus, wrote: “The drawings on the board refer to the process of converting hot rolled steel into cold rolled steel.” Peter II of Yugoslavia (1923–1970) became king in 1934 after his father was assassinated. He went into exile in 1941, was deposed in 1945, and settled in the United States after World War II.
