C au Cc a An unqualified success, is the best des- cription of Sid Dyke's Retirement Surprise Party/Roast which took place Thursday May 7 in the North Cafe. The event was well organized by the Commercial Art department and well attended by students, staff and faculty who had all heard about it well in advance. All, one might add, except Sid Dyke who was somehow kept oblivious of the plans until the moment he entered the Cafe and stood blinking in utter shock for ten minutes or so. After allowing people to feed themselves and stock up. on beer and wine, and letting Sid's nerves settle a little, there were speeches and presenta- tions by such distinguished individuals as Al Zimmerman, the Art Dept. office staff, Greg Lee, Paul Gallagher, and Ted Kingan (who incidentally performed magic tricks). If you were there you were undoubtedly im- pressed by Sid's reply -- an off the cuff speech that sounded as if it has been pro- fessionally rehearsed. Once ensconced the celebrators decided to stay and make merry for as long as possible, so it was quite some time before Sid, his presents, his card and enough left over cake to feed him for several weeks, managed to wander off home. Goodbye Sid, we'll miss you.
