OKTOBERFEST George Cash and the Oktoberfest Express were the main attraction at this year’s Oktober- fest and for a good reason: the entertaining music, lively songs and comical antics of George and his band kept the sell-out crowd dancing, singing, laughing and, of course, drinking all night. Only one engineer was able to down a beer more quickly than George, despite the fact that the bandleader undertook every challenge while standing on his head! Eins, zwei, ... g’suffa! 15

GODIVA WEEK Even as everyone was still gearing up for yet another long term of school work, Godiva Week 84 had begun. With Monday came the resurrection of our lovely Godiva; she bounced back to life as healthy as ever, although slightly deflated due to the cold. Later in the day, the Snow Bridge Building contest was won by its only contestant, a Mech Eng Frosh. Tuesday was host to the Nth Annual Chariot Race, which actually ground to a standstill halfway around the course due to the large number of participants. The Mechanical Chariot, nevertheless, managed to break away from the rest of the pack to cross the finish line first. They were awarded with the Jerry P. Potts Trophy, rescued only 18 hours earlier from a certain group of trophy-nappers by our daring young men in their non-existant blue hard hats. In the evening, the (N -1) th Annual Boat Races were won again by the Awesome team. Thank goodness those guys are graduating this year! Several new events were successfully introduced this year. After three days of playing baseball in the snow, the second year Industrial team emerged victorious in the first ever Godiva Week Baseball Tournament and another multi- day event, the week long treasure hunt, Godiva’s Quest, was won by Frosh C, who, we are told, used cunning, logic and a lot of washroom visits to uncover the correct answer. As always, Godiva was laid to rest at noon on Friday. Not for long, however, as Friday evening was witness to Godiva’s Wake, featuring a remarkably well-rehearsed and quite outstanding performance by the LGMB. Thanks and appreciation are extended to the LGMB who played at several events in addition to the Wake, and special thanks go to the following people: Kim, Kevin, Margaret, Steve A., Tony K., Greg and da Chief. Take pride in yourselves; nothing would have happened without you! 17
