ENGINEERS BLUE Friday, February 22 Dancing 9-12 p.m. Mount Royal College Gym What A Night Admission: 75 per person GEOLOGIST ' S ROCK In February, the College Engineers held their yearly dance, the Geologist’s Rock. Our rough and ready Engineers proved to be quite artistic in decorating the gym — it was excellently done. The Blue Notes were present providing their danceable music. Yes, the Geologist’s Rock will long be remembered as a great ENGINEER ' S FIELD TRIP The Parker Drilling Rig No. 12, will long be connected with noise, cold wind and weather by the 35 engineers who visited it one April afternoon. While the rig pushed pipe and drilled — the boys froze, and also learned a lot about the active workings of a rig — accumulator, blow-out, Shaver, Kelly, Drill-Collar — the words flew thicker than “Wales Water”, but our engineers held on with limited under¬ standing. Remember the cold, cold drill platform, Charlie? Oh, for the life of a Our Boys At Parker No. 12

A TYPICAL FACULTY OF ' 57 ... THE ENGINEERS THEY HAD A SOCIETY Our engineers banded together to form the Mt. Royal College Junior Engineers, last Oct. 29. The objectives of the club were stated: “To arrange lectures and tours pertaining to different engineering fields for the betterment of our group.” The boys feel indebted to Mr. McCready for his help throughout the year. The following lectures were arranged: Mr. Frye — Chief Engineer, Hudson’s Bay Oil and Gas. Co. Mr. E. Mercer — Sales Engineer, Dowell Inc. Mr. C. Neighbours — President, Parker Drilling Co. The society also arranged for the field trip to the Parker Drilling Rig.

For the third time in four years, the engineers won the Bloody Cup. The Cup presented each year to the faculty which donates the most blood per eligible head, was given by Dean Collett to Cecil Ricker, so now it’s official — the engineers are bloodless.

Liberate Can Sing? The Four Beards THEY CHALLENGED THE STAFF On Thursday of engineer’s week, the engineers played the faculty in volleyball. The bold engineers thought they could clean up on our older faculty, but they were jolted from their high cloudy perch down into the very realistic dust. Although the first game was close the faculty came out on top, 15-13. Then, all broke loose. The teachers, Mr. Collett, Mr. Hughes, Mr. Brown, Mr. Borger, Mr. Sorokan, and Mr. Deutsch, stopped this business of cat and mouse to deal severely with our engineers, 15-8. Next year may be a different story, but we doubt it. Queeny? THEY HELD AN ASSEMBLY During Engineering Week the Assembly of the Year was held. The Engineers gave forth their version of the Ed Sullivan Show. It was complete with Ed and his big “M”. Liberace, Presley, and The Four Tunes, entertained us with singing and dancing between commercials, while the Queen Candidates added a spot of beauty. Oh, the Engineers song! What a morning!
