I worked in a Nickel mine for a few co-op work terms, so I remember some words, and some words came back after reading the mining wiki.

That's fun. What's the Wise Owl Club?

It's a group of people who's eyes were saved by their safety eyewear.
The company newsletter called it the Wise Owl Club, and features of the damaged eyewear.
You can be a machinist or a mechanic and get struck in the face with a projectile. Underground workers could get hit by fragments of rock.
The owl is famous for it's large eyes.
Found a citation for 'Wise Owl Club' going back to 1968, so it's an industry wide thing.
