I CIVIL B Nothing drastic has as yet happened in our first engineering year, except for the great Christmas massacre. History has never seen such a cut down. Even the daily papers pub- lished the sad news. Those who survived hope to make engineering history by passing first year. Our hockey team, S.P.S. Ill did not win a single game, but it was the great effort that counted. The Christmas exams caused a loss of some of our hockey players, therefore a terrific sport spirit was shown by the rest of the team, for they rallied and tried again. I need not mention the results. Our class, like no other class on the En- gineering campus, has the privilege of sitting on the floor for electricity lectures, as two of our class members found out. Calculus truly baffles us, for we are not used to seeing all these curly figures in mathe- matics. However, Engineering drawing is a subject well known to us, for who is the ignor- amus who does not know the use of the French curve? Slowly, we are learning the uselessness of artsmen on the campus. The reason for our dislike of Newton and his famous laws is not because we have to learn them (which actually is a good enough reason in itself), but because Newton was a typical artsman who only thought things up and then left the proving of his theories to Cavendish. As future en- gineers, we look upon this act as definitely dis- honourable. A typical action of an artsman! Although we have all given it a fair try, none of us have as yet drunk forty beers.

Caruso Last September 74 ignorant, gawking freshmen, and one smart, demure freshwoman, were segregated into an illustrious group known to the rest of the world as Civil IA . The remaining 60 have firmly established themselves on campus as men of prestige. So much so in fact, that several senior students sought to improve their social position by ap- pearing in our class picture. We are disposing ourselves well in athle- tics, representing a good proportion of the Jr. Skule football team, including jovial Pete Hig- gins, who was wounded in action. Our class also placed representatives on the Baby Blues, the swim team, the Marlboros, to mention only a few, and we have an ex-Winnipeg Blue Bomber in our midst. Our greatest asset, however, and probably our most noticed one, lies in the delicate form of Marlene, the Civil Siren . It was mostly due to a desire to measure her that our class contributed well over a dollar per person to the United Appeal. Unfortunately, Marlene re- fused to allow the official Engineering rule (handspans) to be used, and thus, the class project was never completed. When we speak of interesting lectures, we must recall the Chemistry lecture that Space- Cadet Corbett gave with liquid air demonstra- trions, at which he arrived looking somewhat like a Martian, complete with asbestos gloves and goggles. No resume of our class would be complete without a few words about our distinguished class-mate, Al Cooper, the man with initiative. Seems one day he drove in from Clarkson, and couldn ' t find a parking place, so he wheeled into an empty spot in the Official Business Only area of the Parliament Buildings. As the attendant on duty came over to question him, he pulled his brief-case out, mumbled something about having to give an official re- search report, and rushed off in the general direction of the building. So now, the attend- ant is there every day with a friendly smile for Al, as he parks and rushes off to lectures. The day of our final Surveying exam, Joe Halajian had a real pain about it all. We all agreed that Surveying was a pain, but Joe was quite serious and had his appendix out that night. 28
