Due 10 inCl'eased cos Is, many featurcs which characler'ized lhe Sickle in former years have had to be cut down or eliminated. However, we have al.lempled 10 produce a faithful, interesling and comprehensive record of the year 1941-42, and whatever success it may have is due in no small part to the f"iendly co-operation of those who contributed. OUR PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE In thc minds of all thcsc days. possibty morc II:an C"C" befOl'c in our range of experience, is the thought of SCCLII ity. It is 110t .::I new thoughl for it has madc itsclf efTcclh'c in the Ihinking of mankind down through thc agcs. Indccd. conccrn for sccurity has piayed no small part in human dC\'c)opmcnl and in the eYolution of society. Paupers, pE3sanl5, and peers alike have fell its urge. and under its influence society has been org3nized. religion has been moti"uled, politics has I:een palterncd, and international I'Chltions have taken form. Bul wl:ere is seclll'ily 10 he found and of whal does it consist? A few ,"cal'S ago when the wheels of industry were turning fl'~cl~ and when our natural resources of field. mine. forest. nnd slream were; smiling bounlifully upon us. we piaced our sccuriiy in things to bc posscsscd. Wc thought of it in Icrms of invcstmcnt and di"idends, as it wcrc, aud all 100 frcqucntly wc sought to gain it by esploitation and by speculation. A I'ude awakening: has been Ours to experience. howc\·cl'. for we have found that thc things on which wc had built our hopes for security hm'e Two nut only failed us in the hoUl' of need but in addition, and most significantly, we have come to sec that QUI' false conception of security has in no small degree been the very causc of the present world conl1icl, in which the thing we chet'ished most has elusively slippcd hom our gl·asp. To what then do we tUln in our quest for security? Obviously thc various factors involvcd in providing an answer to this question wiU take 011 value with perspcctiyc as we come 10 appreciate in retrospect the relative significance of each. At the momcnt, confuscd hy conl1ict of ideals, bewildercd by "evcrses abroad, and stunned by thc I'calization ot' Olll' tremendous lack 01" pl-.eparalion 10 meet the enemy, it is far from easy to chart the coursc we needs must follow. Truly, we seck peace, not as a dull opiate to the mind to deaden the senses so that sluggish contentment may again reign within Our lillie eirclc of seclusion-but on the contrary, focussing thc piercing rays of truth upon the secret corners of selfish prerogative, we bend aliI' every effort in present war and in post-war planning La gain a peace in which intellectual freedom, religiolls liberty, social opportunity, and economic well-being Illay he avail::lble fot' mankind .as civilization moves forward in a world of moral pUl'pose. This will not be gained by complacence, compromise, and appeasement, but by an all-out efTorl based upon conviclion. Toward this end the organized strcngth of the free pcoples of the \yorld must greater und morc rapidly grow to meet and overcome the fiendish forces of' a frenzied foc, and (owol'd lhi end, 100, we all Illusl do our utmost, each in his own wny according to his capacity, But, hav- ing cmphasized til>1t thought, I hUITiedly pass on to slress that notwithslunding youI' inability to see very far into the futul'c,-indeed because of IhaL vcry t'acl,-yoll, the educated youth of alii' univcrsities and col- leges ill this l>1nd of frcedom >111(1 dcmoeracy, must strike hands with the youlh of thc frce IJeoples the world over to give yourselves unreservedly to the great dem>1nd of the hour, namely, to think courageously, and to live courageously, Ilhysically, intellectually, and spiritually. Regardlcss of whal the i1l1J11cdinle fUlure Illay ha\'e in slol'c for us all l in you, and in the degree Lo which you find yourselves able Lo measure lip to this challeng-e of honest, sincere, courageous living, lies our greatest hope for security. not only in our present struggle against ruthless aggt"ession, leading 10 victory, but also in the resulting peace toward which we look as a pcrmanent outcome, -Dr. .T.

Sixteen CLASS '42 HISTORY Class' 12 served ils Freshmen ten" ill the fall of 1938. AI lhat Lime some forly-five students were enrolled, bul since then our membership has decreased 10 about half its original number. Such has its compensation however for proportionately we have gained a greater degree of unily and class spirit. Ever)' phase of college life has received a maximum of support 1"1'0111 OUI' group. During the first two years basketball was the major alhlelic aelivity and Ihe lineups would have sufrered considerably had it not been for the '42 slars. Lately, bowling, and of course, ping pong have risen to positions of paramount imporlanoe and 'L12 has contributed several fine players to Ihese aclivilies. In addilion, the man T'esponsible for all alhlelic activity, the Vice-Chairman of the A.B., is a member of OUI' class. The Board of PublicaLions has aLso drawn a number of ils ex·eeutives and editol's fmm Ihe potential grad class. 1''''0 handbook, two Quill, Iwo Sickle editors and two Managers of Publica lion from ',1·2 have served during the past three years. For the same period Ihe Advertising Manager of the P.I!. has been a ~2 man. Nor have we neglected the executive end of college activity. During the past two years at least six 01' seven IOf the .sludenls 8erving on the ~lain Executive have been from our ranks. \Ve ha"e also supplied the Presidents of Ihe Liter",'y and the Finance Boards. Tn Ihe ficld of Dramatics '42 has been eSI}ecially oulslanding. tn second yea,' approximately one-half of the cast of Ihe Major Production, "A Kiss 1'01' Cinderella" were '42 studenls. Later in Ihe IeI'm '42's enlry "Send Her Victorious" won the College Drama FesLival. Tbe following year "Final Edilion" well supported and direcled by '42 Thespians toured on Public Relation pl'Ograms. "Still Siands Ihe House" which WOn acclaim at the University Drama Festival .at 'Vinoipeg had members of Olll' class in two leading roles. During this past college year "SI. Anthony's Eve" atso directed and suppol"ied by "12ers supplied the chief enlerlainmenl for Olll' Palri'olic Programs. And we rnustn'l omit mention of' ourinimil- ablc pl'Oduction of "Pyl'3mus and Thisbe" al Ihe Second Term Lit ::'>Iighl. In addition "Send Her VictoriOllS" was revived under 'LI2's direction and presented al a pl"Ogl'3m in aid of the Queen's Canadian Fund. The Glec Cillb and Chapel Choir have also "ecei"ed consislent suppaI'I f'"om ou,' ranks. . But the old saying "You get out of a Ihing jusl whal you pul into ~t" stili applies loday.

Eighteen A HOT TIME IN THE OLD TOWN (A Prophecy) Sulphurous vapors and scorching smoke rose to meet the Honorary President of Class '42 as he descended into the earth. At length he came to a black riyer. A ferryboat was waiting at the wharf. It was manned by a scowling individual known as Charon. who, seeing the new arrival, demanded: "Seek you admission to the regions of darkness?" "Yes," answered 01". Pacey. "I am come lhi ther to seek news of lhe Class of '·12. Long have I searched the foul' COl'l1crs of the earth, and failing 10 find them anywherc [ concluded that they could be in only onc place: they llsed to raise enough of it in my classes. Ah, Lhey were wondcrful, those mcmbcrs of the Class of '42. Such enthusiasm, such originality! If only I could find them all again." "Everyone is within," replied the fenoymun. "But I must warl) you that if you once cross this river, you cannot ever return." "Thai is entirely ilTclenmL and immaterial, my good man," said Dr. Pacey, who had become excited upon learning that "12 was found at last. "I would suffer anything-anything!-Io see the Class of '~12 again." "Step on board, lhcll,H said Charon. "Oh, yes-U1CI'C is H slight fcc ...." D... Pacey fished oul his second-last nickel, handed it to the fe....yman, and they c..ossed thc rive...

"'fhat's what you're here for," wus the grim reply. "Pass, friend." D,·. Pacey entered. and almost immediately he spoiled Jim Nelson, who I'Ushed fo ..wa ..d to g ..eel him wamly. He then inqui ..ed as 10 the welfa ..e of Class '-12. "\Vhy, we have just aboul tuken over this place," replied :\e1son. "Somc of the more rccent arrivals are still cxpialing, of course, but they'll work up to positions eventually. I was one of the fi ..st to get here, and afte.. 1 had cxpiated ce.. tain i....cgula .. ities in my political ca ..eer, 1 rose to fill an cxecutive position down here. l3ul I cannot tell you the nature of it because in Hades Ihc dange .. of sabotage is ve..y g ..eat. Now if you'd like to walk amund awhile I'll point oul some of the sighls. Nineteen "O"el' in lhal building you will find Bill Bell, who is condemned to recite nursery rhymes in fronl of Hydras, the hissing monster because, when he was on eal'lh, not eonlent with being sueeesso,· 10 Clark Gable and Hobel'l Taylor, he broke all rules by demanding more chal'aclel' parts like Ihe one in The Litlle Shi.p.

ThaI building with the awning is for the \VOIlIen's Auxiliary force, headed by Hulh Ramsden, who gOI her expel'ienec' in World \Val' 11, and Ihis one eonlains Ihe private apal'tmenl of General Lewis Bridge, who as you I'emembe,' distinguished himself in the same war before he I'elil'ed from Ihe arm)' to take up fal'ming in Indiana. He wilJ be joined pl'esenlly by Garth Chalmel's. You remember him. He, lao, was a general in 'Val' II, aflel' which he wenl back to scientifie researeh. Bul in spile of his brilliance in Ihc.se fields, he never COIIquel'ed the bad habil of punning, 1'01' which he is now condcmned to think lip pUllS on words like "conservatory", "proletariat" and "preoccupation". 'And hCl'e is the Scicnee Building. Ellis McLaren, chief scientisl of Hades, is hard at work in there trying to discover a method or gel ling more heat with less coal. YOll I'cmcmbcl' that 011 carlh he won the Lebon Prize for his revolutionary method of preserving blondes indefinitely by a non-alcoholic process.

T'he dramatic program was somewhat varied from lho~e of other years. A Senior Lit. was presented in First Term; then a new endeavor ill the forlll of 3n inter-class competition was tlndertaken in Second Term in Illace of Ihe cuslomary Junior Lil. There was lillie debating, the majol' endeavol' in I11is field being participation by two studenls 1'1'0111 Grade XJ1 in a debate againsl Brandon Collegia Ie. Public Spcnking meetings were a new undertaking this year. They were, on the whole, sliccessful and beneficial 10 those laking pad. The success of the year is due largely 10 the ability of Edilh McFadden and 10 the talent and enthusaism of the sludenl body as a whole. \Ve wish 10 say wflumk you" to lite chairrnan and members of the Board and to the students who helped 10 make the year successful.

Thirty-two = == THE ATHLETIC BOARD THE ATHLETIC BOARD The Alhletic program for this year has been eurt«iled a greal deat due to the o:r.c. courses and the various other forrn,S of WH!" work which are being undertaken by the Collcge. ~Iuch credit is due ~lr. ~lcLeod, Chairman of the Athletic Board, and to George Ingham, chairman of Ihe Execulive Commillee, for the very successful year. SPORTS As Ihis college year comes to a close, Ihe members of the AthleUe Board, and the students whom they have sCI'vcd, review it with considerable pride and satisfaction. This has been a year of outstanding successes, :'1nd spods ha\"c played their pell"t. The Sports nay heralded the coming of great Ihings during Ihe ycur. The first major sport to gel under way was bowling. The league consisted of twelve temlls, subdidded into two groups of six, which occupied the alleys every Thursday and Fdday afternoons. Competition was keen. and a high level of interest was maintained throughollt the complete schedule. The top eight teams participated in the play-ofl's and the winner was selected by total team score. Twice during the season, all-star teams from Ihe Collegiate and College ballled il oul. All we'll say as to the resulls is lhal Ihe College didn'l lose. II would be a mistake to say that the rink was a success Ihis year -because Ihe wealher man just wouldn't co-operate.Bul il is cerlainly no mistake to .say thai Ihe Hockey Excursion was a success. On the nighl of .January 31, Ihe College journeyed 10 :-.Ieepawa 1'01' Ihe annual even I. The bus ride and dance were enjoyable, the game was super. For Ihe nrsl lime in recent years, it was H reHI bHtlle from stHl'1 to finish and lhe resull was in doubt unlil Ihe nnal whislle. (The College Josl.) To Ihe leam Hnd 10 Ihe Alhlelic Board we al'c indebted 1'0" a grand lime! Thirty-three Duc to the amount of time givcn 1.0 military training, basketball was excluded. But during the year something new was added, something that gnve n new lilt to our step and increased Our pace by a step-and-a-half when we marched in a northerly direction. You'vc gucssed it-ping-pong! During the first two wccks of l\larch, n tournament was held. All too often, sludents tend to accept the pleasure of o lit· sporls without thought of the hours of organizing which have preceded. This year's program was carried out w·ith enthusiasm and efficiency, owing mainly to the excellent work of our Athletic Board. -D.T. STUDENT'S WAR COMMITTEE The "Student \Var Committee" is a wartime organization on the part of the students; its function heing to co-ordinate all student activities rlirected towards aiding the war effort. The cOlllmittee this year was composed of the Senior Stick, .Jim ;-.,'elson; the Lady Slick, Alixe Mendows, Anna Hughes as secretary, Ellis i\lcLaren as treasurel' and Edilh McFadden, President of the Liteml'y Board. Dr. Cragg was Faeully I'epresentative. The first tel'JIl'pl'ogram consisted of a "Val'iety Concert PMly" being sent to Ral)id Cily, i\linto, and Lenore, in aid of their respective Red Oross Organizations. These concerts were very wcll I'cceiH~d and proved successful financially. A \Val' Saving campaign was ol'ganized nndet· the able dil'eetion of Hugh I{nowlton. A c1a,ss compctition was held, second lcrlll, with a prize offercd to the class buying the largest numhCI" of stamps. The commillee approved of the Co-cd plan, to sell refreshments to the C.O.T.e. boys the al'lernoons they were drilling on the College eamIJUS. The Co-Eds also scnt pal'cels to the fOl'lllel' College boys on active scrvice ovcrseas. Letters were wl"illen hy lhe students, to many of our boys 011 acLi\'e scrvice', in ordcl' to kccp thcm in contact with the aclidties of their Atma :'II a Icl'. The highlight of second tC1'1ll was when "Student's Addition to Qucen's Petition" was prescnted ill the City Hall, in aid uf the Queen's Canadian Fund. This consistcd of a three-fold program, interspersed by selections 1'1'0111 ;\1eil's orchcstra. It includcd: ---.a group of Illusical items. -an Information Please program. -a aile act play "Send Her Viclorious" This evening proved a hugc success and Ihe students were able 10 ('onlribulc the SUI11 of ljiSO.OO.

STUDENT CHAPEL Everybody comes to Student Chapel! Ench \Vednesday morning it is customary for a member of the studenl body to eondUCI the "egular Chapel sen'iee, and so many interesting talks haye resulted that Student Chapel has become pructically an instilution. Arrangements for this weekty service are under the dreclion of a Student Chapel Commillee composed of Iwo member~-one from Sigma ~Iu nnd one from the Cooed Association. This year we had a splendid series of talks by: First Term-Jim Nelson, Alixe ~Ieadows, Edilh MeFaddclI. George Campbell, George Ingham, IJol Mon'al, l3eryl Thompson, Hamlon" .lones, Dorothy Korman.

Thirty-six THE Q ILL A newspaper, especially a student newspaper, performs an important funclion. It guides the thoughts and interests of the present student body; il keeps alive the spirit of Alma ~Iater in the minds of the past student hody; it records college activities throughout the year; it gi"es oulsiders Hn impression of the atmosphere of the instituUon which it represents. This year the BrHndon College Quill, under the cHpable guidance of Harmol1u Jones '-.12 and Garth '1'aylol" '-13, carried all. There \Va., of course, the usual amount of fingernail-chewing over deadlines, lack of Oller, and the thousand Hnd one details which crop up in Lhe COurse of such an undertHking, hUI the editors and staA' agl'ee that, all things considered, gctting the Quill oul was holh pleasurable Hnd profitable. Everyone con· cerned mHde Hn honest eA'ort to maintain the high standard set by "Quills" of former yeul's, and the general opinion is that they IH1\' succeeded. -D.le THE SCIENCE CLUB The aim of the Science Cluh of Brandon College is to stimulate student interest in the many acUvities of Science in the modern wodd. Its iotention has been to offer opportunity to science students to engHge in independent scientific study somewhHt beyond the provisions of the eUlTieululll. II has atlempted to fosler H broader understanding of the whole field of Science, and to show the interrelationship of such branches as biology, chemistry, geology, nwthellllltics and physics. This year the Science Club has been stimulated by the increa"ing importance of science in wartime, and under the Ie..'ldership of i\lLHTHy ~fcLeod has enjoyed notable success. The meetings are open to all \\ ho may be interestcd. They arc held every second Thursday, frolll 7:30 to 9:00 p.m'.. in Room 7, Science Building. The Science Club has' tlempted, with success, to develop in the sludenlS an interest in individual research. Students were encouraged to turn to periodicals, jOlllonals and libnll')' fucilities wilh reference to topics in which they were particularly interested. This made the presentation uf talks by the various members all the morc informative and intcrcsling. These talks were often supplemented by slides, diagrams Hnd practical dcmonstrations. ::\fot the least impodant pad of each mceting was the infOl'mal, fl"iendly and enthusiastic discussion which followed th~ presen- tation of Lhe pape..s. These topics were presented tit "Hdous times during the year: The Pe.. iodic A angement of the Elements Science in PhotogrHphy..........................................................

THE INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS CLUB After a lapse of one year, the Intel'l1alional Relations Club was reorganized and held meetings every second Tuesday aflernoon in Room J. The Club made a study of the peace selliemenis of lhe Greal 'War as a basis for considering the problems which will arise <1t lhe termination of the p'resent connic!.

' Thlrty·nlne FIRST TERM LIT Because the progl1llm planned to hetp in raising money for U,e Rcd Cross was so successful in surrounding communities, it ,vas subslituted for the regular Senior Lit on Friday, November 7. A full chapel greeted the varied program which started off wilh selections from the mixcd quartet and the girls' trio. The piano solo, piano duel, and flute and volin dueL which followed wenl a long way in proving lhat new talent has been forthcoming this year. A poem about a lillie ship recited by a child in short pants who greaUy resemblcd Bill Hell drew its share of laughter from the audience. "Saint Anthony's Eve", a one-act cornedy directed by Bill Bcl1, included in its cast Edith McFadden, Bill Bell, Harmona .fones, Dot Moffat, ClifT Kitson (plus a Cockney accent), Beryl Ramsey, Leslie Bowman, Iva Delamater, and Rita Rabe. The acling was first class and the chocolate cake consumed on thc stage prepared cveryone for lunch and dancing wbicb followed in the dining room. SECOND TERM LIT On the night of February 6, U,ere was a great deal of commotion as JUI" caps, daggers, and tombstones were pushed into place in preparation for the inler-class dramatic competition which was planned for Lit Njght. "Sister Sue," presented by the class of '44, showed a slighlly hectic evening in the affairs of an average family and kept the audience thorQughly amLised. The class of 'L13 outdid themselves in theil' attempl La improve upon a little play which Shakespea,'c caUed "Hmnlet"-music and aU. The sad fatc of Pyramus and Thisbe, who came from "A Midsummer Night's D"cam", went through the hands of the class of "12, and died amid peal,s of .laughter from those who watched, gave the grads a chance to shine. Louis de Groot, representing the class of '-.15, did ltolJ]y wilh "The Cremation of Sam l\lcGee." "Send He" Viclorious", a hilarious comedy with Dot Morl'al (a reincal'11alion of Queen Elizabcth), Rill Bell, Phyllis Lee, and Jim l\elon, closed the p"ogral11 in a vcry fine manner and sent everyone down to the dining 1'00111 feeling young again-and hungry. ARTS BANQUET The grand finale for Ihe activilies of Ihe college year was Ihe tra· ditional Arts Banquet anti dance given for the graduating class at the Prince Edwu,-d Holel on March 6. The 1I1ldcI'gnuluales entertained the gnlt!s and their guests in a way of those who enjoyed the delicious turkey and fine program th~1l none will be ahle 10 forgel. Marjorie Ellioll and Loekie Volkers added 10 the evening's pleasure with their lIlusic aftcr dinner, unci tile grads ended the program by singing theil' class song and hYllln, followed by the somewhat familial' strains of "Hickidy-Rax." The cOllllllillee, headed hy Doreen Bolslad, certainly ouldid ilself 10 make the dinller and dance a perfect climax rot' the year. ~roHsllllaster "arlh Taylor '·1:3...
