FIELD ENGINEERING SECTION
FEs GOT CLASS!
CLASS 53
  • (Phrog: A special note to Class #53--I'm sorry I missed saying goodbye. You guys were a pleasure to get to know.)
  • It's time to reveal the names of the mystery field creatures that made up FE Class #53. Funny, but when students arrive, they're boisterous and rarin' to go. After much hard work, studying, writing programs, taking tests, etc., it usually becomes necessary to send them home on stretchers. Class #53 decided to take their lives in their own hands by challenging the Sunnyvale men's softball team to a beer game (See Sports column for story). Actually, the Trainees turned out to be better technicians than ball players.
  • Several presentations were made at the FE Trainee Award Luncheon. The Outstanding Achievement Award went to Tom Alvey. His excellent work and determined study habits helped all members of the class.
  • The Outstanding Team Achievement Award went to the occupants of 0106, which was by far the noisiest apartment. Members of the super-compatible team were Jeff Jansen, Denny Schraibman, Pat Shofner and Wild Man Yarnall.
  • Besides becoming versed in DPI technology, this class gained an expertise in the art of chandelier usage.
