V 1 l l I i s I l BERNARD DEAGLE ROBERT IIEITSHU ORA MeiWlANUS Vice-President President Secretary-'l'reasurer GI EERI G CLASS As a member of the Engineering class of '50, one may look back with pride on the last academic year. It has been indeed a very active and successful one. Displaying a high calibre of interest and spirit, the class forged ahead into all fields of scholastic and extra-curricular activities. In the domain of sports, the Engineers showed their prowess by capturing the interclass football title. They were also semi-finalists in the hockey loop, and put up a fine show in the basketball series. They were also ably represented on the Varsity hockey team, as well as the basketball, tennis and ski teams. The field of' debating was not left untouched by the Plumbers. They act- ively participated in several debates, and were victorious on more than one oc- casion. As proof of the intellectual capabilities of' the slide-rule artists, many of the boys took an avid interest in the stage production, The fVlikado,'y and worked very hard on it. The Music Anureciation Societv, and the Universitv choir also felt the . . H 1. , . - . presence of interested and co-operative Engineers, as well as the Dramatic So- cietv. In the social circle, our annual dance was very well attended, and was said to have been one of the best for a long while. The unique, and almost revolu- tionary decorations were much appreciated by all. This year, the Engineering Class was very fortunate in being able to play host to several well known and accomplished Engineers, who graciously gave up their time to deliver interesting lectures on subjects peculiar to lfngineers. The class wishes to convey its best wishes to the departing third year lfngin- eers, and to all other graduating X-men. 97
