E JOE NGINEERIN POPESKI---Electrical The big question mark of the class. His rate of asking questions varies inversely with the amount of lecture notes taken per hour. Joe has been with as many as two of the fair sex at once. so he may be just a Romeo in disguise. He has a reputation for his hair-splitting accuracy. even to getting 6 places on a slide rule. Enjoys hanging on to 220 volt wires. just for fun. Theme song- Please sir. Prof.-I didn't quite get that. HYMIE FLEISHMAN-Cn.wl kVe all envy I-Iymie. his pure innocent soul-but why bring that up. Hc's a bear for detail which proves him an elicient and get-ahead able engineer. I-Ie's everybody's friend and has a heart as big as big. Give Hymie a Kirkhams's text and a package of XVrigley's and immed- iately the clouds are scattered and the sun shines for him. He learned how to say damn with profound mean- ing in Churchill last summer. His pet theories on women are kept very secret. LLYOD G, SCOTTfElc-ctrical He originated the Roblin'Hood combination. to keep him- self in the dark woods. but lately we have been able to get a- I,angside this most gracious fellow. and ltarn how he is always able to pull down the highest mark. No problem or situation is too intricate for Lloyd: he can enjoy most any. Should give a good account of him- self before long. Favorite U1 lab.-Electrical measurements. JOHN M. GRISDAl.E4Cn.il Jack has gathered his Engineering experience and in- spiration working during the summers with the City En- gineer and the C.P.R. His college interests are many, among them are hockey. football. sorority balls. and. of course, his studies. XVhen it comes to absorbing knocks and broken bones. Jack makes an excellent sponge. He has had everything from appendicitis and gallstoncs to broken collar bones. HARRY Sl'ITrlTLMANfElt-rlrical Harry is our one and only red head. Takes life with slide rule accuracy. that is c'ose enough for practical purposes. He is always willing to lend a handfespecially a 4th in bridge. Favorite pastimes--Reading. bridge and tennis. HENRY KREUTZER-Civil Class '32 certainly got a break when Henry took to En- gineering. After several years of Normal and teaching. he put such things away and came to college. Henry is one of those men who doesn't know his own strength. a true friend with a heart of gold. Steinbach. his home town, must be a great place to be able to give up men like Henry. Politics, Wars. and murders keep him supplied with food for argument, ani last but not least. he reads Hush and thinks Janet is a honey. BILL CAPELLE--Civil Conscientious Bill is the type that if he can't go through he'll go around or over, but he gets there for 'a that. Railway Engineering and Geodesy fascinate him something awful. He would no doubt be the world's greatest cross country hiker if he went out for that sort of thing, .lust a big strong silent man--Bill. BRUNELLE LEVEILLE-Civil Vile respect Brunelle's quite wisdom and weighty words. He does things. His pet subject is Municipal Engineering. He's aiming to get his B.S.D. after getting his Civil En- gineering. A strong ambition indeed. According to rumors Brunelle is a true 40-beer Engineer, but of course it is only hearsay. DAVID C. M. DUNCAN-Civil XVQ are proud of our Valentino, Though peaceful and in- clined to silence. Conrad would abhorr life and studies if he didn't find consolations in life in friendships and love. A love sincere and faithful as himself. We now under- stand why he is a dreamer: Can we blame him? Aren't we all? XVe wish him a successful career. accompanied by the same delicious romance which is now the spice of his fate. EDMUND J. LINDSAY--Civil Since his first year at University Ed has always been engaged in social activities. and has devoted much of his spare time to them. He has held important offices in various organizations to which he was appointed by rea- son of his financial abilities. Indeed. he has sold as many tickets and signed so many checks during his student life that we would recommend him as a circus manager. if he had not taken Engineering. We shall remember him as a gay companion and an energetic leader. Page Eighty-seven

ENGINEERI N XVILLIAM J. HALPARIN-Eleclriral Cul. Since initiation day this boy has felt that he was truly an Engineer. Tried to demonstrate it by laying his silver pencil across the d.c. bus-bars in the lab, His ability to worry A.C, problems in ahsentia is now his crowning achievement, Willie may have done better as a travelling salesman-he alone knows. l'amiliar expression. XVhere did'ya get that from?. CLARENCE D. MURDOCK-Elec Although he claims Canora as his home town, we seem to hear a great deal more of Estevan. Anyway, Clarence is always willing to bet his last nickel on Saskatchewan, in any game, and against any odds. lt seems that he took his first two years there. He will argue on any subject. from women to politics, and has never lost one argument in his own estimation. Ask him about the approach-force system, as outlined by Strangler Lewis, Three weaknesses7Bridge, bridge, and bridge. ESLIE HOOD--Electrical A product of Glen Ewen, Saskatchewan, and Oxbow High School, where he showed them how by winning a Governor General's medal. He is a follower of the misogynistic league, although he started to disobey the rules in fourth year, He seems to occupy the position of class consulting Enginecrl enjoys a brisk mathematical workout. and is most elficient at peak loads. He claims that Differential Equations are the spice of life, but we think that was due to other influences. Just a darn good Engineer. NVALTER M. MURRAY-Elec After graduation in Civil Engineering XValter decided to join a class of live wires and get a great kick throwing switches and circuit breakers. He is a constant worker and thoroughly enjoys writing A.C. leports. A natural aptitude for reading a wide variety of subjects, coupled with a marked weakness for Celebrity Concerts. KENNETH G. LAING-Electrical Ken. as we know him, really only represents one half of a complete unit, the other half being-well, use your own imagination. Ask him how many games he won in the 1932 Bonspiel, or how to eliminate the hum from a loud speaker. He can tickle the iyories till your toes tingle. and is an expert at chasing the colored balls around the green tables. He's a stay at home man. but not his own home. Secret ambition-To get married. GEORGE A, McKAY-Elec George went to Churchill in '31 to play horse for Carter- Halls, and from what he said, we don't think he enjoyed the game very much. He delights in poring over a mathea niatical text-book. and in arguing with the profs. Plays hockey and football. A very deep and practical thinker, big future. wants to buy a first mortgage gold bond on a meter. with a Who Kv..-X. DONALD XVhen style. F. H. MARTIN-Electrical you want a dance or a class party put on in grand Don can sure do it. You should also head him as as radio announcer, or possibly you weren't at the Crook's Tour, He was Miss Taken for a. chcorus girl once. but Engineering has made a man out of him since, The social man of class '3Z. Ambitions+to get a report in ahead of time. W. B, PETERKIN-Elec Bill registered in Engineering, and the Profs. have been looking for him ever since. While the draughting room ref sounded in echoes disconsolate, where's that man Peter- kin, Bill was achieving greater fame in a finer art. As president. he led the Glee Club to the pinnacles of success, His theories on flange and aqueous friction have battled the keenest of intellects. l-amous last word- Why pick on me? LESLIE J. MOULDER--Electrical Les hails from Merrie England. He has served time in sev- eral institutions Cchieliy educationalj all the way across Canada. U.B.C. was his lirst alma mater. but he seems to have been fairly happy with us for the past four years. As for ourselves. We have gradually learned to suffer in silence under his puns. Ambition-the attainment of sufhcient will power to withstand the line of the cue game, PHILIP W. PINN-Elec Good old Safety -from Gladstone. Claims he has a s sure system for distinguishing twins. but we think its taking an awful chance. He's a quiet chap-how come he plays the roarin' game? Remained pure for four years, but this year he has taken to smoking. Remember, Phil, you can't hold down a good job doing things by halves. The man who knows.
