Maureen (FitzGerald) Morrison Work Experience: Junior Mapper and Geochemical Sampler, Texas Gulf, summer 1977 A pretty small group In geology here Frosh know everyone Right to fourth year To Lakehead I came To take Chemistry To go toward My Western degree Not so at Western I say with a sigh But it ' s still a great place And I rate it quite high But soon I was told L.U. is the best The Profs are all keen The students have zest So I said to myself Sure and why not They seem to be A pleasant enough lot At Western they ' re snobs Or so I was told Not totally wrong But pretty damn bold In N.S. and Gaspe And good old N.B. In ' 77 I worked For Texasgulf-Tg Junior mapper was I And an expert soil sampler Travelling around In a bright orange camper Great fun it was And I learned some tidbits To use as I become An L.U. Geologist

Brian Cole Nickname: Wimp First Class Pet Peeve: Eggshells in the sink. Favourite Exp: ' Turner you gink ' Work Experience:Recon. (Junior) mapping. Geochemical Sampling . Falconbridge Nickel, Summer 76 Contract Geochemical Sampling, Winter 1976 Recon. (Senior) mapping. Airborne geochem. and geophysics. Summer 1977 Brian is a member of the Wiley Street Revue. His favour- ite activity is fixing a certain 1970 Far-gone. Brian usually plays squash and outruns Ron with the coffee pot for exercise. In between playing with his rocks, Brian attends all his classes. He spends all of his free time in the Mineral Deposits Lab. Upon successful completion of 4th year Brian hopes to become a famed exploration geologist. Thes is Topic: Geology and Mineralogy of The Beaver Junior Mine The Beaver Junior Mine is one of the many workings in the northeast trending mainland belts of silver mines in the Thunder Bay area. It is located near the village of Stanley in the Thunder Bay District. The study of this mine involved a descriptive survey of the structure and geology and sampl- ing for petrographic studies. Mineralogical investigation was based primarily on polished and thin section studies. Geology was determined from detailed mapping of the vein and various structures in close proximity to the mine adit. The final objective of this thesis was to draw conclusions concerning the paragenesis of this type of deposit. V

Randy Hall Work Experience: Junior Assist. Noranda Yellowknife 1976 Senior Mapper, Noranda Yellowknife 1977 Thesis Topic :Archean Komatiitic Flows of the Henik Lake Volcanic Terrain One of the cities famed mini drivers, Randy prides the 4th year class with his usual presence. Noted for his helpful person- ality, Randy enjoys a cold beer while watching slide shows. Another of the Pink Paradise tenants, there is hope someday for a decent residence . Randy has spent two previous summers with Noranda Yellowknife office both as a junior and senior Geological Assistant in base metals exploration. The north seems to have a strange affect on people and chances are that Randy may be returning with Noranda next summer as a Party Leader. Randy ' s thesis is basically a study of a series of ultramafic flows located in the Griffin Lake area of the Keewatin District, Northwest Territories, A section of these flows were carefully mapped and sampled, and the geochemical, textural and mineralogical variations across individual flows, and changes between successive flows are being examined . The ultramafic units are also examined in light of the sulphide mineralization in the region, noting compositional changes and the mineralogy of the host rock and ore minerals within the map area. As a result of this work, a composite picture of these particular spineflx textured flows shall emerge, and some attempts will be made to compare these flows to other slmiliar units elsewhere in Archean terrain.
