THEIR FINAL FLING a I The Engineer’s Banquet and Ball. The final official activity of the engineering faculty was held Friday evening, March 15th, after weeks of anticipation and preparation. The evening began with a turkey dinner in the college dining room. Following the most appetizing meal Toastmaster Bob MacDonald toasted the Queen. The toast to the College given by Tom Dick was replied to by Dean W. J. Collett. Mr. R. Whitwell toasted the graduating class, this was replied to by Joe Laskosky. A bit of humour was added to the evening by ventriloquist Hugh Campbell. Remarks by Dr. John H. Garden were followed by greetings by the Student’s Union, brought by President Dave Porter. Then tte business of the evening really began. Mr. McCready conducted the draw for the “Mayflower”, a ’38 Ford. Frank Inaba was the lucky recipient. Then came the judging of the beards. After the big operation of shaving off their proof of masculinity the fellows and their dates swayed and swirled to the music of Gordon Southern in the gym. During a special intermission, Liz Wood was crowned Queen of the Ball, by Rod Conklin. Gail Morfi t and Gay McLeod were crowned Ladies-in-Waiting. The official evening ended at 1 a.m., but oh! the party ;.t Nag-Way. All-in-all a wonderful evening to end the year for our Engineers.
