Bernie Schnieders Nickname: Bruno Work Experience: Oil Field Geologist, Atlantic- Richf ield Summer 1976, Alberta Junior Assistant, Noranda Summer 1977, N.W.T. Thesis Topic: Determination of Volcanic Terrain; Silicified Pillow Breccias or Agglomerates Bernie is one of the more talented members of our fourth year class. His travelling music show complete with guitar and banjo have entertained everyone, (except that particular French girl.) Bernie has asperations of opening Bernie ' s Tackle Shop as soon as he makes enough money after graduation. I guess Bernie wants to be a geologist at some time, as long as it doesn ' t interfer with his fishing and hunting too much. He has spent one summer working for Noranda in the Northwest Territories, and it sounds as if he had a real ' blast ' . If worse comes to worse, I ' m sure he has great potential as a manager of an A P store. Bernie is writing his thesis on some volcanic units he worked on this summer in the Northwest Territories, trying to determine if the fragments are silicified pillow breccias or agglomerates. ' Bruno ' can hardly wait to graduate, since all this school ' bullshit ' interferes with his regular visits to the College dances. He ' ll probably never be quite the same after spending the winter at the ' Pink Paradise ' , but I guess its not quite as bad as the ' Wiley Street ' life.

Keith Peden Nickname :D ip ix Pedenchuck Work Experience: Junior Assistant, (Basemetals) , Mattagami Lakes Mines, summer 1974 Underground Technician, Inco, Shebandowan, Summer 1975 Expiditor, Imperial Oil, summer 1976 Great Lakes Timber, summer 1977 Thesis Topic: The Nature of the Shebandowan- Quetico Boundary Keith Peden, sp. Dipix Pedenchuck- This creature, native to the Thunder Bay area, may be found in its natural state in and about the Geology Department. It has been known to visciously attack cars, in particular - Bugis Volkswagonis, by kicking various parts and leaving said parts of this species scattered across the Thunder Bay region. When not found in the hallowed halls of Lakehead University it may be found scuba diving in the waters of Lake Superior or snowmobiling across the countryside. Nocturnal activities include Geology socials, Ukran- ian da ices and or defiling parked vehicles (notably Plymouth Furylx) . This known instigator of practical jokes may be associated with its neighbouring species - Stickus Romaninskl - in the structural lab. This association, known in the scientific world as the Dipstick relation, has been known to cause dlsasterous effects. A final word of caution, this species may become violent when compared to a Cumberland Street drunk. The boundary between the Shebandowan-Wawa volcano-plu tonic belt and the Quetico Gneiss belt has been taken by some to be a distinct hiatus separating these two belts as being critically different sub- provinces. Still others have suggested that the differences between these two sub-provinces is superficial and that the boundary is a gradational one. The purpose of this research is to objectively observe a section of outcrops intersecting this boundary. Most of the observations are based on mineralogy and metamorphic deformation. V

Gord Turner Nickname: Gink esq. Work Experience: Geophysics and Junior Mapper Um ex , summer 197 6 Contract line cutting and staking Winter 1976-77 Senior Mapper, Umex, summer 1977 Contract staking, winter 1977 Thesis Topic: A Comparative Study of the Genesis Of a Massive Sulphide Showing, Savant Lake Gord is a member of the infamous Wiley Street Revue. A site of wide intoxicating parties, Gord is frequently seen leaving it in less than perfect state in an attempt to make it to those 9:30 geochemistry classes. As well as selling T-shirts, playing depart- ment hockey, and extensive testing of local ski hills, Gord oc- casionally is found working in the Mineral Deposits Laboratory. Having his home in Brampton Ontario and working with UMEX for 2 summers he has travelled around considerably. His future plans include being a successful exploration geologist. Cord ' s thesis topic is a detailed study of a massive sulphide occurence of the Copper -Lead-Zinc type located 7 miles north of Savant Lake Ontario. Research on the property includes geological and geophysical interpretations and sampling for detailed geochemical analysis. Extensive mineralogical work with thin sections and polished sections was also prepared. The ultimate objective of the research is to compare the genesis of this showing with the model proposed by Sangster in 1972 and to consider relationships with the processes operative at Mattabi as described by Franklin in 1975.
