Clarence Michiel, Skeena Jr. and then Caledonia together, Each decided to go into engineer- ing; and this year each grad- vated with honours, this lime from separate univer- sities. David Shepherd was “awarded “the --: Canadian Society of Mechanical "David Shepherd Engineering medal for his outstanding marks while at the University of Victoria.

Shepherd's friend Scott ~ Scott Loptson Loptson also graduated this year with a degree in civil engineering from the Uni- versity of Calgary.
