��EDITORIAL
What is 'forestry ? I know, it's something about "... an art and science ... using available technology ... to
produce ... benefit of man.", and I won t argue the definition, but perhaps there's more. Forestry is more
than an industry, a science, or even a profession. Forestry is a lot of things to a lot of people, and in that
train of thought may I introduce the theme this year of "Forestry is
and to usher us through the book is
our friend from the cover (or was it the Wayland) Lu Forester.
Lu Forester however, like the rest of this book, is a creation, and I would like to take a moment to
acknowledge the people who helped create "Harvest 79".
Sheri Walsh was this years ad manager, coordinating all advertising activities, writing numerous letters,
making phone calls, sending out invoices, as well as taking pictures and selling books. Helping Sheri with
advertising around town were Bev Shaw and Mark Stevens who went door to door through Thunder Bay's
business sections.
On the production end of the book, Rohn Solecki put in countless hours taking and developing pictures,
coordinating and doing lay-out, and 'kicking my ass' to get things done. Rohn knows all aspects of yearbook
production and will undoubtedly make next years book the best yet. Also helping with the production of the
book were Ed Paleczny doing a lot of photography, Randy Collier working on lay-out and again Mark
Stevens working his butt off on lay-out, ideas, and sales. I would also like to thank Ramune Beresnevicius for
"Lu Forester". There were many other people who helped on the book
and I thank them although space does not permit their mention on this page.
I would also like to thank our sponsors for their advertising, since a yearbook is too expensive to be made
solely on sales. I hope you enjoy our book.
To the people who bought 'this years model', I hope you find it satisfactory. To those who didn't buy a
yearbook, I hope you will indulge in one next year. Remember, we put the book out for you!
To this years graduates I extend the best wishes for the future from the whole yearbook staff, and to those
still working towards a degree or diploma, I offer my condolences.
Once again I would like to thank everyone involved with this book, it really looks good.

The academic year was
highlighted by our various activities beginning with a forestry dominated Shinerama,
canoe race, the corn roast (with real corn), the Softball tournament, the Weyerhaeuser
Lecture Series, the tubing party (with non-alcoholic cider), Ski Nite, Symposium (a tremendous turnout (sic) ), the
Woodsmans Competition (LU 1 calling passionate lady), the Hockey Tournament, and finally awards night.
Due to the changing nature and expectations of students, we conducted a LUFA evaluation. The result was the
initiation of a careers night and the tubing party.
The course evaluations have been completed, and are in the LUFA office for all to see.
In conclusion, I wish to thank all the people who have worked hard to make this year a success, and encourage
everyone else to come out and see what goes on. Try it, you may just like it!
I hope to see everyone next year.

the forest scene as

progressive!) in the years ahead. There is now, in Canada and beyond, a much wider public and political recognition of the need for greatly intensified efforts in the rehabilitation and planned management of our forest resources than was apparent a few years ago.
In October,
>78, the 8th W orld Forestry World Congress was held in Jakarta, Indonesia. Participants from 104 countries and 14 international
organizations received and discussed papers and reports on a wide range of forestry subjects and issues, and at the conclusion of the Congress

increased by 70 million people, annually, and recorded that:
"If present trends continue and potential demands materialize, there is a prospect of a serious gap between the worlds needs for industrial and
other wood products and the capacity of the world's forests to supply these and other essential goods and services. This gap can only be avoided if
the shrinkage of the forest areas is halted, if natural forests are properly managed, if harvesting is more complete and more efficient, if there is
subsequent full and prudent use of all products harvested, and if large areas of successful plantations are created and intensively managed.

facing a shortage of wood. Roughly 12% of Canada's productive forest land is inadequately stocked ivith trees and about half a million
added to this backlog annually. Moreover, the second growth stands, following logging or fire, are often poorer in quality than the

"
gap" was formally recognized and discussed during conferences convened by the Ontario Ministry of
1978 and again in 1979. The problem of insuring the establishment and management of high quality second forests on
cut-over and burned areas in Ontario has been a concern of the forestry profession for a number of years. That this problem has finally engaged
the attention of our provincial politicians, and that it has been accorded an improved priority rating in public spending plans are encouraging.
Within the past few months, the federal government has committed itself to the expenditure of about a half billion dollars for the modernization
of pulp and paper mills and for the rehabilitation, development, and management of public forests in a number of provinces. Ontario, Quebec,
New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia will participate, and contribute provincial funds, for the advancement of these programs. Beyond these encouraging, immediate stimuli for forestry in Canada, we can anticipate that as energy costs continue to rise there will be beneficial results for
forestry. The substitution of wood for metals in construction of all kinds, the increased use of wood itself for energy generation, and the prospects
of increased utilization of all species and of all parts of trees can be anticipated.
In sum, I believe that we shall see abundant opportunities for challenging careers in forest management in Canada within the next few years. I
believe, too, that the practice of forestry, in contrast to that of simple timber liquidation, will provide full opportunity for the effective exercise of
the knowledge and skills which our gradutates have acquired at Lakehead University.
On behalf of all members of the faculty and staff of the School of Forestry, I am pleased to have this opportunity to record here our wish and
hope, and, indeed, expectation that each graduate of the classes of 1979 will find satisfying and challenging work in forestry, and that each one will

JULIAN
GIFFORD
CROSS
1888-1972
The diamond drill, perched on the ice of Steep Rock Lake in Northwestern
Ontario, chugged away, the sound of its steam engine muffled by the snow.
The
driller called to a man who was sitting in a corner of the drill shack writing
in a notebook.
The man picked up some of the sludge, looked at the dark brown
specks for a moment, and then quietly said, "Well, that's just worth a million
dollars to me!"
Julian Gifford Cross probably had reason, that March day in 1938, to be
much more excited than he appeared to be. The hematite fragments that he held
in his hands were the first proof that iron ore lay under the waters of Steep
Rock Lake. He must have felt a tremendous sense of satisfaction at that moment
in knowing that his theory, developed ten years before had been proved correct.
In spite of the set-backs, disappointments, and skepticism from his colleagues,
he had stuck stubbornly to his conviction that iron ore lay beneath Steep Rock
Lake.
The Steep Rock iron ore deposit was not the only major discovery made by
Julian Cross. In the late 1920' s, Julian and his brother John staked claims at

discovered the Shebandowan nickel deposit. In the early 1930' s, INCO purchased
the claims from the Cross brothers for $250,000 and, a good portion of this
amount became the seed money for the start of exploration at Steep Rock Lake.
Those who knew Julian Cross, when asked to describe him, invariably used

The primary areas of research in which
I
have been involved during
the past several years are late-Quaternary paleomagnetic studies and sediment-
ologic studies.
The paleomagnetic studies consist of determining the late-
Quaternary paleo-declination
,
paleo-inclination, paleo-susceptibility and
paleo-magnetic intensity columns for northern Lake Superior for time parallel
correlation purposes.
This study has been extended into eastern Lake Superior
and Lake Huron to provide a time parallel correlation grid for the Great Lakes.
In addition,
the natural remanent magnetic direction will be used to determine
the virtual geomagnetic path for the late-Quaternary.
The sedimentological studies were centred around the Batchawana Bay
area and emphasize the use of grain size parameters as determined by the method
of moments to discriminate environment and sub -environment processes.
The
Batchawana area, which comprises a number of sedimentological environments,
will be used as a model for the post-glacial sediments exposed along the eastern part of Lake Superior and for the deep-water lakes in general.

Most of the existing textbooks of geochemistry
are disappointing to anyone who has a real
interest in the subject matter.
They are
disappointing because, in attempting to be
comprehensive, they trivialize the subject.
There are serious economic constraints on the size and cost of a publication
intended primarily for the university student market.
Comprehensiveness flies
out the window and the house is occupied by a poor half-starved creature masquerading as geochemistry. The falsity of his pose is compounded by hie declaration
that parts of mineralogy and petrology may be offered as substantial fare for
those who hunger after knowledge.
The essence of this purveyor of mis-inf ormation
is his belief that he knows about that which
he writes and that all that he writes
is all that is needful to know.
That he does it deliberately can hardly be
maintained. That he does it at all must be because he knows no better.
A serious critic ought to be prepared to redress the iniquities he discovers
in others even though in doing so he may impose upon himself a task of some considerable magnitude. Naturally, having made the decision to play the role of
creator rather than critic, he then seeks to place limitations on the nature and
extent of his dissertation so that the result may have a defined purpose. Despite
the gross enlargement and mis-use of the term in recent years, geochemistry is
properly concerned with the distribution of the chemical elements in Earth and is,
in this proper connotation, a fascinating subject of study with important, and
sometimes critical, implications for the general scientific understanding of
our planet.
There are three limitations on the scope of the proposed textbook which
provide the essential framework within which the principles of geochemistry
may be established. The first is that the overall chemical composition of Earth
and the manner of its formation and rapid evolution into a heterogeneous body
must be assumed on the basis of the extensive knowledge provided by astronomers,
meteoriticists and geophysicists. The second is that the accessible igneous
rocks of Earth's crust, knowledge of these being provided by mineralogists and
petrologists are suitable objects of study for the provision of the necessary
geochemical data. The third is that the writer and the reader have a sufficiently
wide and detailed knowledge of geology and chemistry that the discovery and
illumination of principles takes place without laborius, tedious and repititious
explanation
,
,
Given these parameters and provided that the focus of attention is firmly
fixed on the behaviour of the elements, then a textbook can be constructed.
Whether it has any principles - the author assumes as a philosophy that principles
do exist to be discovered and explained - is for the reader to decide.

This past field season
began in late April
with the field school trip down the not-toosunny shore of Lake Superior.
Attempts to
reach the Ely greenstone belt and the Soudan
iron formation were unsuccessful, and our two vans had to beat a hasty retreat
from what rapidly became a winter wonderland.
From late May to the end of June, Warren Clendining and
I
crossed many a
farmer's field around Lappe in search of cleavages, graded-beds and pillows with
the hope that all these would somehow merge into a coherent story of structure
and stratigraphy.
It appears that our efforts were not in vain.

the sun finally decided to let summer enter Northwestern Ontario.

hot and dusty days, we packed up, and along with a rather questionable vessel

My primary interest is economic geology which embraces many sub-disciplines
including exploration, evaluation, development, and utilization as applied to
mineral deposits. This entails not only a knowledge of basic geology and mineralogy
but also an appreciation of the fundamentals of mining engineering, metallurgy,
economics, and management.
In the rapidly changing world of science and technology, specialization is
increasing, unfortunately, to the point where the traditional economic geologists
are fast becoming an endangered species.
This is regrettable but the trend can
be reversed.
The reversal can be accomplished by informal research consisting of planned
reading of journals in which case histories and techniques are described, by
attendance at meetings of earth scientists with similar interests, and plain old

Since the publication of the last Geology Journal, I have been on sabbatical
leave in Australia and reflecting on the fact that being a geologist presents one
with unrivalled opportunities for travel and the possibility of visiting places
the casual tourist would never stumble upon - places such as the Spinifex Inn Disco
in the Western Desert, the Orroroo Railway Hotel or Noonkanbah Tank No. 5.
Visiting such "places" enables one to obtain a feeling for a country which is not
available to the short-term visitor. Consequently, those of you who have doubts
about your chosen profession, whilst learning the ontogeny of graptolites or
standing amidst the black flies on a swampy greenstone belt, remember that being
a geologist will enable you to combine travel with a stimulating occupation if
you take advantage of the many employment options open to you.
Whilst in Australia, I found that the public generally respected geologists
and were aware of the nature of their work, presumably as a consequence of many of

So it is now two years since my last contribution
to the Geology Journal.
If I recall, the last
communication ended with the safe completion of
a nephelinite , basanite, phonolite hunt to Bathurst Island, N.W.T.
Subsequent work
has shown that the hunt was a success.
The bonus of discovering the first
occurrence of olivine melilitite in Canada merely added icing to the cake. These
continental rift valley volcanics are presently the object of geochemical, petrological
and mineralogical studies.
The first results will be discussed at a field workshop
on volcanism in rift and intraplate environments in July 1979 during a field trip
concerned with the alkaline vulcanism associated with Cenozoic stretching in
Western Europe.
The main research thrust has continued to be the Coldwell Alkaline Complex,
a location dear to the heart of many a Geology major from Lakehead.
What greater
delight is there than the Pic Disco, the Everest Hotel, the Red Dog dining-room,
Red Sucker Cove and Ministry girls from Neys Provincial Park? Recent work has
centered on the Nepheline Syenites and the numerous dikes intersecting the intrusion.
Currently M. McGill and B. Jago are completing a detailed study of the Southwestern
margin of the intrusion for their honours theses. This large alkaline complex will
continue to be the source of many challenging theses in the years to come.
Evidence is slowly emerging on the presence of past carbonate-rich magmatic
activity just to the west of the Coldwell Complex. The McKellar Harbour region
is the locus of numerous C0 2 -rich, K^O-rich ultrabasic lamprophyres which could
easily be mistaken for kimberlites (Diamonds!) but which are most likely related
to carbonatites
These dikes contain varying proportions of olivine, phlogopite,
calcite, apatite, spinel, perovskite and melilite and one contains significant
amounts of a very rare Zr-rich, Ti-rich andraditic garnet. As of now only four

So much for now, so until the next time, to all geology majors, good luck
and may the spirit of igneous petrology be with you.

My research activities over the past year and
summer, in particular, have been varied and
quite interesting.
I placed my work on tin-bearing sulphides on the back burner
for a while, having reached several impasses on that subject.
My efforts since
then have been concentrated on some new projects.
After completion of my work pertaining to spring term and field school in
1979, I spent a few weeks readying a paper for publication.
This was followed by
the frantic preparation of an abstract for the Meteoritical Society meeting which
was held later in the summer. My next project was a jaunt into the field with
M. Lucko to examine pegmatites in and around the Quetico Belt along Highway 527.
We observed numerous pegmatites, one moose, and experienced the coldest June
weather to my recollection. There were, however, essentially no bugs!
In early July, I took my wife and two small children to the Los Angeles area.
did nothing geological except to attempt to find the San Andreas Fault as we
flew over it.
I returned home impoverished and in need of another holiday.
Unfortunately this was not forthcoming, and I found myself readying my paper for
the Meteoritical Society.
In doing so I happened to learn that Dr. Borradaile
was editing a book.
I volunteered a contribution on shock structures in iron
meteorites. My meteorite work dealt with the sulphide mineralogy in one of the
chemical groups of iron meteorites and the various implications one could make
from such studies. Although much of my data had been collected some time ago, I
found some gaps which necessitated a one week visit to the University of Toronto
to use their electron microprobe.
I
As a guest of the University I was allowed to stay in the Medieval splendour
of Hart House, where my room was furnished with antique French Canadian furniture
complete with original paintings by Sir Frederick Banting. My probing work went
quite well and for once, I was able to do some additional work on silver -mercury
minerals from the Stanley area west of Thunder Bay and, on indium-bearing
sulphides from New Brunswick.
Upon my return to Thunder Bay a few weeks were spent preparing my paper on
iron meteorites and, in the last week of August, I left for Germany where the
Meteoritical Society was meeting. I spent a week on my own in Southwestern Germany
and a week in Heidelberg attending the meeting.
My presentation was well received,
and I was satisfied that the trip had been worthwhile from the standpoints of both
business and pleasure. I returned to Thunder Bay thirty-six hours before the
start of classes.

wish them the best of luck in their endeavours.
I
have been investigating strata in Northwestern Ontario for the past
summer and have experienced both success and failure.
The field conditions
around Thunder Bay are pleasant; pollution keeps the fly population down,
tourist-ridden parks provide well worn pathways to outcrops, and the beautiful
scenery along the Current River is enhanced by bikini-clad beauties which
proved to be a major distraction to section measuring by assistant B. Cheadle
and myself.
What was that thickness now?
The field season ended with a bang

surfed over a submarine drumlin and lost propulsion in our motor.

The message
have based on this summer's experience is that field geology is al-
ways a mixture of hardship and triumph, but the necessary element which makes
it feasible is perseverance.

I
have also been
researching into "fault rocks" (mylonites, pseudotachylite, cataclasite,

The fault rocks occur in several belts, each perhaps a kilometre wide and hundreds
of kilometres long, in the shield of N.W. Ontario.
The most spectacular example, the
Quetico "fault", just north of the city has been the focus of my attention.
I
have
pursued other more theoretical research, partly using recently acquired data,
concerning changes in temperature distribution with time in metamorphic belts and
grain-boundary sliding in metamorphic rocks.
I
much enjoyed working with Howard Poulsen and Myra Kennedy on their respective
metamorphic/structural research topics last summer.
I
also greatly profited from their
help in sampling, looking at the local geology and in thinking about geology in general.

In addition to my full-time duties as departmental hockey convener and as
Hoots’ official interpreter, part of the past year has been spent maintaining and
supervising the geochemistry laboratory.
The initiation of the graduate program has
seen a renewed demand for geochemical analyses performed both by myself and graduate
students.
Our whole rock and trace element analytical programme, while centered in
our own laboratory, relies heavily on apparatus housed in the Science Instrumentation
Laboratory which is maintained by Dr

T. Griffith and his staff.
Our students are
very fortunate to gain hands-on experience in this facility on equipment that
actually works!
Aside from the above departmental responsibilities, the past year has been
occupied with my continuing research interest, the Precambrian geology of the Rainy
Lake region.
Of particular interest to me was a workshop on the geology of the
International Boundary held at Fort Frances in May 1979.
Valuable discussions were
held with officers of the Geological Survey of Canada, the U.S. Geological Survey,
the Ontario Geological Survey, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources and

Ben Berger
I graduated with an H.B.Sc. Geology degree from McMaster
University in 1975. Between 1975 and 1978 I worked for
Noranda Exploration and was based out of their Thunder Bay
office.
I spent the summers of 1978-79 working for Selco
Mining Corporation in the Thunder Bay area, Ontario and the
Kamloops area, B.C. respectively. My employment with Selco
and Noranda has provided me with mapping, geochemistry, and
geophysics experience in both base metals and uranium exploration.
In 1978 I enrolled in the M.Sc. program at Lakehead
University. My thesis work involves the compilation of volcanic
and sedimentary stratigraphy in the Lake St. Joseph area of
Northwestern Ontario.
My second year of studies at Lakehead has been enlightened
by the fun and games to be had with the third year class while
trying to teach them ore petrology and the finer points of
"Crest-manship"

Doug Lehto
In leafing through past editions of the Geology Journal,
notice that it provides most people with an opportunity to
summarize their most recent activities in geology.
Since my
summer activities in 1979 can be summed up in terms of building
a "home" in Thunder Bay, I will begin my geologically related
tale from the time of my graduation from Lakehead University.
After graduating in the spring of 1975, I joined the staff
of the Geology Division, Saskatchewan Research Council,
Saskatoon, and worked with them until April of 1979.
I consider
myself fortunate to have arrived in Saskatchewan at the "dawn"
of the latest rush in uranium exploration.
During the summer
of 1975 I became involved in a geochemical study at the Duddridge
Lake uranium discovery.
It certainly was a new experience for
me having previously worked in base metal exploration in Ontario
and having left Lakehead with a thesis on structural geology
fresh in my mind. How quickly one adapts!
I later became
involved in other multi-media geochemical projects and, it was
during this period that my interests were directed towards lake
sediment geochemistry.
And so I find myself back at Lakehead as a graduate student
doing research in lake sediment geochemistry. My current
research involves an investigation of uranium partitioning in
recent lake, stream, and bog sediments from Northern Saskatchewan.

Heather Brown
Heather has the distinction of being Geology IV s only
single female. The question of her availability, however, will
have to be taken up with John.
She is a diligent worker, but
always has time for a smile for everyone.
Heather enjoys outdoor activities, especially snowshoeing,
cross-country skiing, and geophysics!?! Swimming and reading
are other favourite pastimes. Heather's organizational skills
were evident from the excellent socials she planned as social
coordinator for the Geology Club for 3 years.
Heather has gained much valuable experience through
summer employment. After her first year in geology, Heather
tackled the major companies and worked for Noranda in Northwestern Ontario. Her next summer was spent in another area of
Northwestern Ontario working for Shell. After third year,
Heather accepted a position with Shell in SE Nova Scotia near
Yarmouth. This summer she will be back in NW Ontario working
for AMAX
And then
who knows???
Thesis Topic: Paleomagnetic Study of the Quaternary
Sediments of the Goderich Basin, Lake Huron.
The natural remnant magnetism of the lake bottom sediments
of the Goderich Basin, was used as a correlation factor
between two cores retreived from there. The paleo-declination
and paleo-inclination values obtained from the sediments were
plotted versus depth. Correlateable peaks represent sediments
of a comparable age.
This method of correlation was found to
apply to sediments of a small basinal area as well as to the
Great Lakes area.

Randv Farmer
I'm one of the 'fortunate' few doing a structural thesis.
At least, everyone tells me I'm doing a structural thesis.
Basically, I'm looking at a small lense of sediments about
five miles north of Thunder Bay. The general purpose of the
study is to determine from structural and textural evidence,
the relationship of the sediments to the surrounding rocks
and their nature of deformation.
I've spent two summers in the bush; The first one in
1978 with Falconbridge Copper and the other in 1979 with
Selco Mining.
With Falconbridge I worked in the Savant Sturgeon Lake area. Basically, we just lazed around on the
beach, and participated in the weekly Ignace to Sturgeon Lake
(for which I clocked the fastest time of 38
time - trials
Once in awhile we got bored, and
minutes), and went fishing.
looked at some rocks. My second summer with Selco was spent
in northern Manitoba mapping in gneissic terrain for base
metals
My future interests after graduating are to work the
summer, then take the winter off and do some travelling.
Then, I think I'll be ready to try and find permanent
employment in geology.
�Tim Howson
Now that my four years at Lakehead are finished, I can
proceed with my real interests.
I am presently negotiating
for a job as a taste tester with a large rum
distillery in
the Barbados.
During the off season I plan to work as a test
driver for Yamaha Motorcycles Incorporated and as a
fishing
guide in Northern Ontario.
My future geological interests lie in finding
the famed
diamond deposit of Northern Canada, which must be at
the
bottom of Hudson Bay.
Secondly, I would like to stake and
develop a small placer gold operation and rum
distillery on
the Yukon River
However, after several summers of uranium work, I
am
proceeding into real geology (so I am told).
I have signed as
a base metal geologist with Falconbridge
Nickel. The job
involves mapping volcanics near Snow Lake Manitoba.
Past work experience:
Summer 1977 - Mapping as a Junior Assistant with O.G.S.
near Sault Ste. Marie
Summer 1978 - Mapping and prospecting with Eldorado
Nuclear Ltd., near Uranium City, Sask.
Summer 1979 - Mapping with O.G.S. in the Grenville
Province near Bancroft
Bruce Jago
Hi there, I'm one of the lucky few who is working on the
Coldwell Alkaline Complex for a thesis this year. By-the-way,
the word 'Complex' is not misleading, not at all.'!
Long ago
and far away, when Lake Superior tried to become an ocean, the
Coldwell Complex was born. A deep seated mantle rock began to
melt and caused the formation of three related alkali rich and
silica deficient magmas to rise and form a roughly circular
intrusive complex. Associated with each phase was brecciation
of pre-existing rocks, the formation of complex pegmatites &
possibly large scale faulting.
Indeed, before erosion lasting
for a billion years removed the land surface, a volcanic
ediface was probably present. My thesis concerns the description of the main rock units and their intrusive relationships at the western contact.
Lots of fun you ask?, you bet!
My summer experience in geology includes working for
Noranda in 1977, and Shell in 1978 and 1979. Each season I
was beating it around the bush looking for copper and zinc in
volcanic terrains.
Saw lots of wildlife, had a good time,
but broke alot of hearts. You see I met the cutest little
moose and.... But seriously, the best camps have women in them.
All oink oink aside girls, it's more like home with panty
hose hanging on the jackpines.
My interests in geology lie in gold, silver, diamonds,
strange igneous rocks and making money on the stockmarket. My
interests outside of geology include making my own hooch,
economics, the great outdoors, sports, women and antiques.

Myra Kennedy
As one of the few females in geology at Lakehead Myra
is just like one of the boys. (Not even strip joints or
,
advertisements that come in plain brown envelopes ever
produce the expected traditional blush.)
A very hard worker Myra can always be depended on to
come to our rescue with the right answers for labs that are
due immediately.
She enjoys cross-country skiing (as long
as the wineskin is within easy reach) and playing squash.
Various aspects concerning food are also of great interest to
her, and she can really bake up a storm for those Christmas
socials
Myra was employed by the government for two summers,
first on a local Experience '77 program associated with the
Regional Geologist's Office, looking at scenic features of
geological interest in the area. The second summer she
worked as a junior field assistant in an ODM field party near
Sioux Lookout. After that, more cushy jobs became available,
and she spent the summer after third year as a research
assistant for Dr. Borradaile. This summer, employment with
Dr. Borradaile is again a possibility as well as work on her
master's thesis.
Myra's honours thesis is a study of structure and
metamorphism across the Quetico belt from Shabaqua to Raith,
Ontario. The study is essentially a traverse ( about 30 km
in length) along highway 17 and the CNR and CPR railway lines
A sociological study accompanies the thesis on the effects of
repeated blasts from transport truck horns while one is
clinging to the sides of large road outcrops - echo, echo!!!

W. Michael Lucko
Mike is a busy and hard working guy. Not only is he
subjected to the normal rigors of Geology IV, but he is kept
on the go by his wife Edna, and sons Eric, Randy, and Adam
(arriving during years I, II, and III respectively of Mike's
years at L.U.) This year Mike and Edna seem to have broken
their record.
The three boys (otherwise known as the terrors
of Dacre Street) are of great help to their father in collecting rock samples.
(They think the "pigs" are really neat.)
Mike has worked for the past few summers on the notorious
"Black Gang" at Northern Wood Preservers in Thunder Bay, thus
managing to be with his family. Mike and family are now off
to Mayo, Yukon Territory, where he will work as a mine
geologist
Mike's thesis examines the pegmatites ("pigs"), of the
Ouetico Belt along Hwy. 527. His study involves petrographic
description and appraisal of the uranium potential of these
pegmatites

Bill Palmer
In the beginning, geology was an interest of mine which
spanned both my public school and high school years.
I started
collecting rocks, minerals, and fossils when I was four.
I
found geology to be challenging in university, especially
second and third year
My summer experience includes uranium exploration in the
Nipigon area, and gold exploration by geochemical rock and
soil sampling in the Timmins district.
Falconbridge Nickel
was my employer for both jobs. Hudson's Bay Oil and Gas
Company employed me in Northern Ontario and Newfoundland in
the summer of '79 as a junior involved in geophysical surveys,
soil sampling, line cutting and stream sampling.
Besides learning about various aspects of geology during
the last three summers, other valuable lessons were learned.
For instance, repeating the same type of survey can often lead
to boredom, but with enough patience and perseverance, one
can overcome this.
The results are satisfying to say the least
My interests outside of geology include fishing, sailing,
motorcycling and badminton. Future endeavours will include
being a geologist and raising a family.
�Jack Parker
Jack is one of the more charming and intelligent young
geologists of his class, and is often mistaken for Robert
Redford. He usually manages to squeeze in time to do schoolwork in his very rigorous partying schedule. He likes to
arrive fashionably late to most of his lectures; that's if he
arrives at all. However, you can often find him huddled over
his thesis rocks with Led Zeppelin blaring out of a tape deck,
or sprawled out at an L.U. dance beating his brains with drugs.
If you ever want to contact this aspiring young man, his
name and phone number can be found scrawled on the walls of
most of the men's washrooms at L.U.
Tomorrow I'll get my shit together.
His motto:
Jack has been employed by O.G.S., New Jersey Zinc
Exploration, and Urangesellschaf t for the last three summers,
and will spend his fourth with Esso in the N.W.T.
Jack's thesis topic is a detailed study of a metasedimentary unit at Finmark. The objective of his research
is to determine the environment of deposition of the sediments,
and to explain the structure of the area.
John Scollie
One of the quietest guys in fourth year, John is a native
of Thunder Bay, and still lives within a block of where he
was born. Although part Italian, he doesn't go in for disco
dancing, dressing up, or dingle balls. He does enjoy
photography-, watching movies, playing golf, and relaxing.
One
of his favourite sayings is, "It's too much work".
Most of his summers have been spent painting cars, and
if you ask him nicely, he may demonstrate to you his prowess
with masking tape and a razor blade. Last summer though,
John got a taste of the good life, as an employee of the
university under Dr. Mothersill. Word has it that he drank
alot of coffee, played with alot of mud, cruised the tropical
shores of Lake Huron for a month, and still got paid.
Aside from finding a gold mine (or even a Titanium mine)
John's goals for the future include, one day, becoming as
good a photographer as his idol Ansel Adams. A great thinker,
John's philosophical outlook can be summed up in a quote
from Roseanne Roseannadanna: "It just goes to show you Jane,
If it's not one thing, it's another."
it's always something.

�Eric Alfreds Albrechtsons
...but, most folks 'round here know me as Ralph.
Certified resident and president of Nugent St., and member
of Paleontology Club.
Activities include gourmet cooking,
speaking Latvian (great way to meet girls!), patronizing
studio 2019, and generally striving to preserve a calm mind.
Work experience - Summer 1979: Urangesellschaf t Canada
Ltd., diamond drilling - uranium ex., Baker Lake area, NWT
Summer 1978: Hudson's Bay Oil and Gas Co. Ltd., base metals
exploration, Newfoundland.
Robert Bennett
My past work experience includes one summer as a "monkey
operator" up 'dere in Nor-dern Quebec (base metals exploration)
and one summer chasing hot (warm) boulders in Northern
Saskatchewan. Of academic interest to me are structural and
economic geology, while philately, cooking, and attempts to
furnish my apartment have provided welcome distractions from
the rigours of life as an L.U. "rock doc".
Helene Bourdages
My interests in geology are in exploration and mapping.
Last summer I had the opportunity to work underground for
Denison Mines in Elliot Lake as a geologist's assistant, and
enjoyed it very much. Next summer I'll be in Kirkland Lake
with Newmont Exploration. My extra curricular interests
include partying and sports.
�Scott Bruce
Scott was the "Phantom" of the third year
class. (Field school must have been tough, eh
Scotty?)
His field experience includes two
summers of geological mapping in the Timmins
area (in the good ol Abitibi greenstone belt).
'
Burns Cheadle
My main interests are maximizing leisure time, and
taking two years to write up a half hour thesis on the
stratigraphy of the Rossport Formation, for Roy Shegelski.
In my many hours I occupy trying to avoid the microscopes, I
write music for guitar, cross-country ski and play "cat and
mouse" with my wife, Sherri.
I worked as the camp slave for O.G.S. in the summer of
'78 and as a chauffer and aide-de-camp for Roy Shegelski in
the 1979 field season.
This coming summer I'll be working
for Mattagami Exploration as grizzly bait in the Northwest
Yukon Territory.
Warren Clendining
Married to a fantastic lady, (who just so happens to be
doing this typing), Warren's last few summers of work have
involved assisting various professors in their research.
This has encompassed such things as collecting mud for Dr.
Mothersill, rowing Dr. Kehlenbeck around Hazelwood Lake, and
guiding Howard through the wilds of Fort Frances (and
surrounding bush). Geologically speaking, the things that
interest him most are geophysical methods (yawn)
and
structural geology. Beyond this lies a strong interest in
music - more precisely the trumpet - to which professor
Kehlenbeck can attest (not detest) to the devotion.
,
�John Etches
Two summers ago, with some reluctance, I began my life
as a geologist working for W.G. Wahl Ltd., in NW Ontario
It was she
(lugging rocks for a party chief named Betty)
that gave me my first insight into the geologist's world,
while teaching me the ways of the bush. I met greater
challenges last summer in the delineating and prospecting of
radiometric anomalies for Amax in NE Saskatchewan. This
.
years field season will be spent white water kayaking, big
game fishing and mapping for BP Minerals along the
Coppermine River, NWT.
Terry Foster
The summer before last, I chased women on the beach. This
past summer, I chased caribou on the tundra. This summer. I'll
be chasing women and anomalies around Wawa for the Algoma Ore
Division. My ambition is to catch all of the above.
(But does he know what he'll do with them if he catches

The last two summers I've been working in the Arctic,
looking for uranium. During the last two winters, I've been

partying to make up for what 1 missed during the summer,
hope to be going back up to the NWT this summer to do some
mapping for Gulf Minerals. I hope to make a career out of
exploration geology and getting high.

Rick Kemp
Ambitions: - finish his honours degree
- an international job which requires his
presence only when he feels like it
Rick will surely be the proud father of about 3 young
geologists - 2 boys & a girl. His confident manner, careful
and articulate speech, and easy laugh will get him a supervisory position with some tax evading corporate giant,
drinking 20 dollar scotch whiskey. Best wishes Rick.

Blair Kite
Work Experience:
1978 Amoco Canada Ltd., as a monkey operator near
Matagami, Quebec.
1979 Falconbridge Copper, as a Galley slave at Savant
Lake and Schreiber, Ontario
At present:
Vice president in charge of mining with
Nugent St. Mining and Exploration
Special interests: Setting down by the fireplace with a rum
toddy and a goood ore petrology text on a long and dark
winter evening. Other interests include alcohol absorbance
and gourment cooking.

Larry Kovac
Larry has aspirations of outdoing Alan Alda. All
kidding aside (chicken dinner) Larry has a beautiful
outlook on life - just ask Nick. For his life work, I
don't know: he has a rare insight in life: sees himself and
others as they really are. Larry may earn a living with
some multinational corporation, but, life has something more
rewarding in store for him.
Pet Peeve - Shopping with Rick.
I hope he makes more chocolate cake.
P.S.
Bill Love
I spent my first summer risking sterility looking for
uranium. My second summer was spent braving the jungles and
taverns of Northern Quebec in the pursuit of the most noble
of the metals - Gold.
This coming field season will be
spent working for the "feds" north of Yellowknife.
My principal interests are cross-sountry skiing, running
and mineral collecting.
John Pearson

On the weekends I'm found competing with "Mr. Bill"
for the most time spent in "the lab" (that is not a disco

future Mrs. Yucks?) During the week I am kept busy with my
duties as Vice President of Exploration of Nugent St. Mining

Paleontology Club. My past summers have both been in the
uranium field. Summer 1978: Conwest Exploration, Junior
Assistant, Northern Saskatchewan. Summer 1979: Senior
Mapper, Urangesellschaf t Baker Lake area, NWT

�Nicholas Spence
My interests lie in the smutty side of geology, such as
megalopoliths and the bucking and grinding of orogenic belts.
However, sometimes I have my serious moments and drift off to
I have had the good fortune of
the land of "Mega-Zircons".
It felt more like "Two Years
spending a summer in the bush.
Before The Mast". Flying, world affairs and suntanning on a
yacht off the Great Barrier Reef of Australia all the while
drinking Singapore Slings are amongst my other interests.
Mark Stevens
My first summer in geology was with Falconbridge Copper
Ltd., working in the Savant Lake area just north of Thunder
Bay, looking for base metals.
The second summer was with
Urangesellschaf t Canada Ltd., searching for uranium in the
Northwest Territories. For the coming field season, I will
be working for Petrocan in Calgary and the N.W.T.
My main interests are girls, water skiing, and
motocrossing
Ron Tweedie
I learn much while in attendance here; it's not always
related to geology however.
The biggest thought in my head is to find a mate.
Everything else will fall into place by itself. My ultimate
calling is not geology, but this degree will help me.

Ian Campbell
Bret t Barnes
As a recruit fresh from the working class,
one of my main interests in geology is the
graduate employment rate. A geological summer
job exists somewhere out there, I just don't
know where as yet.
I began university in the Forestry degree
program, but switched to geology after 2 years
when I found summer job hunting to be a full
time job itself.
I spent last summer working
on Gulf Minerals Great Bear Lake project.
This
summer I'm headed to Northern Saskatchewan on
the employ of Eldorado Nuclear, and once
again on the search for uranium.

Interests in Geology - Basic, intend to
make it a living some day. Maybe add a new
dimension to oil exploration in Trinidad.
Summer Employment - Observing features of
interest on the beaches of Trinidad. Hope to
be more successful this year
Robert Dubyk
Thus far I have spent one summer working
in the office in Thunder Bay, and in the

Outside interests;
I'm involved in carrying a portable office in

I'm having a good time at L.U.
looking forward to summer field work and am
interested in mineralogy, as well as generous
amounts of partying and being outdoors away
from urban sprawls.
Eleanor Sidey
Due to the fact that no one will hire me,
have never been employed in any geology
related fields. I am in second year, but at the
rate I'm going, I hope to graduate within the
next decade.

Tim Twomey
Hi!
I'm in second year geology (mostly).
I've spent 2 summers in the bush. My first
summer I met Jack Parker who showed me the way
to geology and drinking.
Last summer, I broke
my leg midway through the field season and had
to spend half the summer at home, at the beach
in my cast and getting fully paid.
