BRIDGE TOURNAMENT Every college and university usually has some out- standing social, scholastic or athletic trait peculiar to itself. Lakehead College, in spite of its size and com- paratively meagre resources has managed to win ac- claim and recognition for outstanding achievement in a game which requires of its pupil extreme mental alert- ness, determination, desire to win, and sheer physical and mental prowess. The game is contract bridge; a game which has entrenched its very deepest roots into the hearts and souls of the great majority of the college ' s students. To exhibit the high standard of play and to en- courage the game within the school, a Bridge Night is held each year. Bridge Night ' 61 was under the expert direction of ' a real pro ' , Mr. Philip Rickard. The common room was well filled with students seeking the rich prizes, the undying glory, and the master points that fall prey to the winners. The grand champions among the east-west groups were Armas West and Allan Carlson with 73 points. Runnersup were Lloyd Fucile and Brian Keenan with 70 points. In the north-south division Mike Helper and Bob McAlpine took top honours with an 83 point effort. Petro Janiuk and Patricia Shannon were close behind with 72 points. Bridge Night did not belong solely to the winners; all the competitors enjoyed the keen, advanced play (?) and this rather unusual but affirmed intellectual event was a great source of pride to each student of the col- lege. 21

DEBATING CLUB Back Row: Melanie Bahrynowski, Bob McAlpine, Pat McGrath, Ed Golomb. Fronf Ro Fran Bilinski, Siobhan Rickard, Brenda Coopman, Ann Tod. W: The Lakehead College debating club was this year faced with an unparalleled record to uphold. No time elapsed after the election of officers took place, and, Pat McGrath — who was elected President, Siobhan Rickard — Vice-President and Pat Shannon — Secretary, along with many rhetoric enthusiasts, began informal debates within the College. On November 22 the subject Resolved, that Canada Should Have Its Own Flag was presented in such a manner that even the judges were at a loss to proclaim a winner. Similar debates were staged along with ' con- tention in words ' with several of the high schools and the Teachers College. Plans for a trip to the University of Manitoba were also discussed.

PRECAMBRIAN CLUB The Precambrian Club is an organization formed by and made up of the mining technology students of Lake- head College. The chief aims of the members are to gain more practical knowledge of the mining industry and to better acquaint industry with the value of mining technicians in the hope of strengthening their position. The club hopes to accomplish some of its objectives by showing films on mining and geology and by arranging field trips to mining properties which are either in opera- tion or under development. This part of the club ' s program is under the direction of the executive, with Mr. T. W. Page acting as advisor. From time to time throughout the year experts who are actually working in some phase of the mining in- dustry will be invited to come to the College and give an i nformal talk on their particular field of work and afterwards answer a few questions from the members. At present new ideas are being considered but they are only in the planning stage and will require further discussion. Since the Precambrian Club is affiliated with the Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, mineral samples, maps, literature, and film can be obtained from anywhere in the world, thus enabling the club to sponsor an interesting and varied list of activities for the coming year. 22
