"MORE PRECIOUS THAN RUBIES"
Upon entering second year, Class' 16 had to choose all
Honorary Class President. II look but a few scinlillatiDg lectures from the new Chem. Prof., J. A. :\lal'lin, and we werr
of one mind. His engaging smile and ready quip soon eom1ll'"HI::d our ""id allention al lectures. We jokingly used Ihe
term '~lal'tin's Vitalized English', '~Iol'e Precious than Rubies',
and 'Casting Pearls Before Swine', clc. 'Ye gained an insighl
into how Inlly enlcl'taining a purely academic lecture could be.
As we knew him then, his most outstanding trail we per-

cei"ed 10 be a rare sense of hUlllour and subtle wit which never
failed to captivate. However in the two and a hall years thai
have ensued, we came to appreciate morc fully thai genuine
personality who was at once educator. friend and counsellor.

Are hereft of a true friend wilh his passing. His memory shall

A Message from

Dr. A. W. Trueman

It gives me great pleasure 10 have the opportunity of greeting the students of Brandon College th"ough the kind agency of "The Sickle". I recall with satisfaction the visit
r made to your campus shortly before the New Year. At that time r had the privilegc
of speaking to both students and staff at a Chapel Service. Perhaps r may now reiterate
one or two of the things r said then.
As soon as an educational institution begins to make a useful contribution to the
community it serves, it begins to acqui"e traditions. These t"aditions give successive generations of students and teachers a valuable link with the past. By means of tradition
men come to an understanding of their Own strength; they leal'll that the beliefs and
customs of their forbears, fashioned not wi thout struggle and sacrifice, are a sustaining
and enriching influence, a source of strength fol' the conflicts which each generation
must wage in its day. They leal'll through tradition thai humility is a becoming virtue,
because the successes of any given lime anti place are but slight achievements in a long

and never-ending histOl'icaJ process. They may learn, in short, a sense of proportion.
~lay

r ,,~sh to all Brandon College students a caree,' which will be in keeping with

your traditions, and which will have the effect of elevating stiIJ higher the traditions
which Brandon now possesses.

• • and

from Our President:

Gladly do [ express appreciaLion of lhe privilege extcnded Lo me in bcing askcd Lo
wI'i te a bricf word for the Sickle.
19,15-46 will evcr sland oul as an importanl year in Brandon College and indeed
in all instituLions of highcr learning, noL Increly becausc of increascd cnrolment afler
whal might bc tcrmed in this rcgard a numbcr of lean years, bul primarily becausc in
Ihis academic year we have becn and wc slill arc in a period of adjuslmcnl. During thc
past five 01' six years Olll' minds have been focussed upon war aims and our errol'ls voluntarily and gladly, yet nevertheless nece~sarily, have been geared to a wal' programme
in which Ihe grcal objective was thc defeal of our common foe. In meeting Lhc requiremcnts of thai programme our Lhoughls and purposcs nalurally centred in destrucli,'c
proccsscs and procedures. To such an extcnl did this dcvelop within us that the ncw,
of thc sinking of enemy warships. thc destruction of cncmy aircraft, or the bomQing
of enemy forces was calise for rejoicing.
With thc deslruclive phase of the struggle won, we now have entered upon the construcli"e phasc in which we find an entircly new emphasis. Different objecli"es are being placed beforc us, new attiLudes are bcing required of us, and extrcmely difficult dc'
mands arc being made upon LIS.
The adjll~lmclli is not casy, and mainly because we individually ha,"c to make it,
thai is, no one clse can make it fOJ" LIS. To fall in line wilh wal"limc legislation 01' If)
carry out instructions given to us is one thing, but it is something quite different to

measure up to the responsibilily of pcrsonal decision and individual choicc which are
fundamenlal in educational de,'clopmenl.
In this regard may I congratulatc you, the studcnts of Brandon College, on the pl'Ogress you have made. Particularly do J W:'l nt to commend those who have recenUy re-

turned to civilian life from the armed forces for lhe wholesome attitude assumed toward
what might seem strangely new objectivcs and for the cvidence of goodwill in meeting
the requirements involved.
You, who arc graduating this ycar, havc had a difficult task during your college
days in cHrrying a heavy burden of extra-clirricular activitics in addition to the regula!'
academic programme. Your work in college has been well done and now thai you turll
your faces 10 the world bcyond campus gatcs, as il were, we sincerely Lrust Lhal thc ficld
of cndca,'our bcforc you will be such as to givc vou ample oppo!'lunity to prove your
worth and 10 cnable you to makc a worthy conLribuLion to your day and generaLion in
kecping wiLh Lhc needs of socieLy, the demands of justice, anel the urge of the highesL
ideals of life. ~Iore clearly Ihan cver have we come 10 sec thai lhe hope of civilization
lies with youlh as it rises 10 the I'esponsibil ilies of maturity, May success aLlend your
errorLs and may happiness crown your dny.

CLASS '46
Class '46 of Brandon College firsl came into being in 19 I:!. Since
thal time QUI' ranks have been somewhat depleted but On our way new
friends were added so Lhat now we number eighteen strong. Because
of the extremely large numbcl' in the beginning of our history we were

perhaps less united than we are now.
The close unily in '46 is all to the good. II foslered that feeling of
kinship and co-operation which revealed itself in all of Ihe class adivities. This year the Lilemry Boa"d, Finance Board, Sigma Mu and S,C.M.
were all headed by members of '46. In addition organizations too numerous 10 enumerate here were all influenced and supported by '46. The
debating team thai compeled againsl 5t. Paul's representation had a
memher from '46 on it and in the huge cast of "Trial by JUI"Y" '46 was
well in the fore in additinn to having one of the property men working
hard in erecting stage settings, ele.

Our class has sho\\rn leadership on the various executives and has
introduced new ilnpl'ovcmcnts 1'01" the advancement ol' student activities.
AcadcmicalJy we have been in the l'orefr·ont. As an indication of our

all-mund ahilil)' five members of our class ha've been elected 10 the
Honor Society of Brandon College.
On the eve of our departure from the student tife of Bmndon College wc say farewell wilh mingled feelings of pride, gratitude and
regret. With our class mollo "Nobler things in Peace" at our head we
ma"ch forward into the fulure with confidence. Our only hope is Ihat
we will prove ourselves worthy of our Alma }VIaler and al least in part
repay ::11 some future date, the Illany benefits we have n~ceived from hel'.

A STUDENT LOOKS AT POLITICS
(iO\'CI'IlIl1CIlI

is becoming the focal point of all human relations. Such a social

,'eVQ··

lution demands a Ihorough reassessment of H democratic society's understanding of the
body polilic. Whelher we like it 01' not the nUlITh of even Is will demHnd that we cas I
olf nwny modes of thought to which we hHve become Hccustomed but which ba'-e become hem'y with the rusl of Hntiquily. The world is in a state of Iransition Hnd the success or failure of prcsCI"ving our singularly unique western dcmocratic freedom will depend much upon the calibre of Our political ICHders and upon the attitude IIwl we as
individuals take 10wHrd politics Hnd politicians_
In thc past politics has often been considered a haven for knaves and scoundrets 01'
the proper calling for the idle son of a wealihy family_ The name "politician" has come
10 con\~cy an ugly significance. The ~'mud-slingillg" and "backstairs" politics of political

campaigns has delcrrcd many outstanding citizens from seeking public office. \Ye, the
people, canllot expect good democratic government until we, as individuals, learn to study

public issues Hnd urge individuals of a betier calibre IhHn we have had in the past 10
become candidates for public officI'. The art of govcl'llmenl is the world's most vital
science. The vcry slln'ival of society depends lIpon cOUl'ageolls and clear-sighted sollliions
to world problems.
The uni"ersily sludent knows that only patient and persistent silldy will solve a
scientific probtel1l. The same holds for a problem concel'lling human relations. Modern
problems call fOI' statesmen who can sift out procedures of the past that have become
archaic and substitule in their slead new methods tI",t will be the agencies for the greater
development of human welfare. Today, we a.re inclined to lear down unthinkingly the
whole of a social structure that has taken ages to develop and to replace it with somc
paper panacea. The people and the politicians alikc must remembe,· that it takes time
and thoughtful conside.-ation to effect permanent and progressive reform.
To!crance i" the great need among poli ticians today. Each political pal'ly is positive
il has the anlidotc fo,' all Ihe world's maladies. Party tines have a lendency to become
hard and fast. Social reformers do not seeln to l'ealize that a difference in opll-:ion is not
a difference in principle and that the champions of one class have often appeared frolll
the "anks of anolher. The political party Lhat will bring order out of chaos will not be a
party of big business, or of Lhe trade unjons, or of Ihis Or that section of the country,
but it will be a party that has room within its folds for all men and women who believe
in the sanctity of human personality and who have the common aim to further its deYCIOplll en t.

Democracy has suffered because of the shorl-comings of those who have pracliced
it. If these short-comings are 10 be eradicated ti,e individual citizen must assume more
obligations than he has in former times. He must learn to study a"d to appiy his social
he"itage 10 ever-changing conditions. The quality of democratic leadership and the altilude of the people will be Lhe great test of democracy in the next decHde.

Although the class of '49 is the junior class we can proudly say thaI
we are Ihe largest class in the College. For most of us this is our first
year at Collcge and we have all valued the c"lperience which has p"epared
us for a future College life. Throughout the term we have had an enjoyable time both in school and out and our year boasts the largest percentage attendance at various functions throughoLit the year.

JI1 sporls we were right up in front and over half of the hockey
team came from our ranks. The co-operation has been rcmarkable and
together with our Dean of Grade XII studies, Mr. Thordarson, we have
had a truly successful year and as we go through our College career
ow' only hope is that every year will prove to be as successful as this
one has been.

CLASS '49 FIRST YEAR "S"
\Vith the cessation of war it was inevitable that Brandon College
should rcceive its Cluota of vcterans. 'Vhile many vets wcnt to carry ou
their interrupted education in other years, the greater number settled
down to civilian life in the slIrl'oundings of Class '-19 "S".

\\le feel that we've had a successful ycar here at Brandon College,
both acadcmically and socially. In athletics we've becn reprcscnted on
the hockey team, taken an active part in bowling and curling and united.

with Gradc XII we werc able to take second in the College Sports Day
Two of our members convened the invitation formal and yet another assistcd \\~th thc dance held at the Esquire. Those functions were
a decided success. Literary circles fell our influence too for we werc
well rcpresentcd in the First Term Lit and in "Trial by Jury", and First
Ycar ably assisted in the selling of tickets for the Major Production.
\\le have supporled I.S.S. and S.C.;lI. and one of our class was a
c1c1cgate 10 the Edmonton Confcrence of the S.C.i\I. Thus we have in
somc mcasure contributed 10 the succcss of the year for Brandon ColIcge. Wc hope that B,·andon College has benefited from Our efforts.

MUSIC STUDENTS

1,J IlILY

The Music Department, under the directol'ship of Pl'Ol'essor \\T. L.
'Vright, is endeavouring to bring 10 the College as a whole an added
degree of culture, appreciation and inspiration that is sadly missed in
colleges not privileged in having a department of music.
Sad to relate, 10 lllallY of our collegians the music department is
merely a source of annoyance, the caLIse of weicci and penetrating sounds
which Hl'e ever present. However, good work is being done, and Illllch

accomplished in spreading a love of good music and a deep appreciation
of it, first of all in the members of the department itself, and then in the
sludent body and citizens of Brandon. Through its studenis and their
friends, through the series of programs presented each year, the 111usi,'
department is interesting people in Brandon College and providing slu··
dents for future years who might otherwise have no contact with liS.

decisive in action and sincere in their efforts.
The work of Ihe Main Executive is due in great part 10 our Lady Slick, Bett)'

THE STUDENT CHRISTIAN MOVEMENT
Until U;e end of the first world war, Ihe Y\\l.C.A. was responsible for aJi Christian
work done in the Universities. In 1920, with the inilialive coming from the relurncd
men, the Siudeni Chrislian Movement in Canada was formed, relieving the Y.\\l.C.A. of
Ihese dUlies on Ihe campus.
There flrC units of the S.C,J\L on every campus acl'oss Canada, and in the Univer-

sities of almost all the countries of Ihe world. One great achievemenl is that feeling of
solidarity aJllong Ihe units.
The following is the basis and aim upon which the .movement is founded. uThe
Siudeni Chrislian Movement of Canada is a fellowship of sludents based on the conviclion that in Jesus Chrisl are found the supreme revelation of God and the means 10 the
full I'calization of life.

"The rnovement seeks lhrough sludy, prayer and practice to know and follow Jesus
Christ and to unite in its fellowship all students in Ihe colleges of Canada who show
Ihe above conviction, Logell,e,' wilh all students who arc wiJling 10 lest Ihe truth of the
conviction upon which the "Movement is founded.

The l\Iovcmcnl desires to share with 01 hel's the values discovered ill Jesus Christ,
and to join with those of like mind in aU lands and of every race and rank in lhe
crealion of a world-\vide order of society in harmony with the mind and purpose of Gou

as revealed in Jesus Chrisl."

The S.C.\\l. in Brandon College is far irom ils goal. It is trying lo make students
·realize that Christian principles must be put inlo action in all areas of life if they are
10 be at all effective. This is Ihe ,'eason why discussions on world problems lake place,
so lhat we will really think about lhese problems and acl according to Our Christian
principles.
This past year much inleresl in the S.C.\\1. has been shown. The eight delegates who
atlended the \Veslel'll Regional Conference at Edmonton from Dec. 28 10 Jan. 1, puL
Brandon College "on the map" in that sphere.
Grealer things are hoped for in the coming year. There is a real desire lhat the
S.C.\\!. may get deeper inlo student life and be a vital force in Brandon College.

AND THEY RETURN
\Ve are all, no douht, familial' with the old lale aboul U,e proud
moIlleI', who walching a parade cried out "They are aU out of step but
my Johnny!" It warms the hearl, because a mother's devotion, while
perhaps not so ofIen obviously blind, is something near to all of us. I
remember wilh something akin La pain, Illy parent's proud faces when I
brought horne the first report card, and Iheit· carefully hidden distress
when r brought home the first black eye and bleeding lip. Through all
my young life they were there, guiding the faltering footsteps IowaI'd
a goal they so fondly hoped I would one day achieve; a course at university and 3 career in one of the professions; a chance to geL away hum
the rust and dusl they hated w well in lhe trying days of the eal'ly
thirties; a chance 10 do some of the things they had always wanted to
do. They were pmud, so very proud, when I finally slarted at Brandon
College.
Then came the war, seemingly lIllI'cal at first. but bringing soon the

slern reatity of Dunkirk, and the aerial assault upon England. The proud
eyes glistened now with unshed tears of mingled sorrow and fear. England followed-with parcels from horne packed with loving hands. Life
1'01' me became mOre fundamental, and stern, yet ,,'armed by a true COIllradeship. Death stalked the night skies, while love, laughter and song;
sorrow, pain and vice; played the symphony of life in the COllll Lry lanes,
the stately homes, the tenements and sl!'eets of England. The youth became a man, and then a tired man. The parcels frolll home tugged at
the heart strings the morc one knew thai what was ("ould nevel' be again.

I graduated from a school which IeI'I its nlad, deep. II knew no platiludes,
no pcdnntry, no rationnlizalioll nor allY of the vcnccr with which this
civilization of OUI'S cloaks ils weakness.

Finally, I came back to the laud I love; love so much because it is
my homeland, Ihat I who had never lost a tear at the loss of my dearest
friends, felt an unfamiliar lump in the throat and wiped the eyes that

watched the familiar fields of wheal roll pasl. I came back 10 my family
and old friends. I came back to 13"al1<lon College.
Gradually, the strength of those old honds, the sense that someonc
cares so I1lllch for my success, along with my own personal aim, is
oyel·col11ing that sense of restraint, a necessary restraint no doubt, which

choked me at firsl. It does us all a wodd of good to slop once in a while
to think what our College course means to us. It is an avenue to a beller
way of life. Some day someone is going to be proud 10 see us graduate.
I'm going to like thaI.

FIELD DAY
On OClober 12 the Athletic Board sponsored its annuat Field Day. This year evidenced a much wider range of events U,an U,ere has been for Ihe past several years.
The e\'ents were extended 10 take in the full day instead of the aflernoon only, as in
former years. Early Ihat memorable Friday morning, almost before sunrise, the studenls
and facully as embled at U,e Athlelic Ground for the morning program. Contrary to
most Field Days U,e ball toul'l1ament was run off in Ihe mOl'l1ing, leaving only Ihe men's
final to be played later in the day. The girls' entries found a team from '·10, '·18 and a
combine team from Senior Division. Dr. Perdue, in his tradilional headgear, officiated.
Forly-eight wan first place by defeating Ihe Seniors in Ihe final. There were four enlries
in the boys' softball event-one leam from each year with fourth year strengthened by
some of the faculty. Second and Third years ballied Ihe final with second year ha\'ing
a one ,'un advantage when the dust finally cleared. Remember Byron's homc-run in Ihat
game?
In the afternoon the a thletes and speela tors again met at the college for Ihe track
and field even Is. The men's final ball game was played after everyone had been thoroughly worn out by the olher events. The day was topped off by a bonfire, lunch and
a sing-song.
\Vhen the results were finally tala lied, Third year emerged on top wilh Firsl year
a very close second. Belly Norlhcoll copped the ladies' individual championship and Erie
Stinson look Ihe men's.
A dance was held at the Masonic Hall in the evening. Even afler a weary day there
was still energy left for Ihe dance-believe iI or not.
The Field Day was an overwhelming success Ihis year and we hope Ihat in the
near fulure it will be even higger and belter.

BOWLING AND CURLING
The Brandon College Bowling League
commeoced its activities in October with
eight teams bowling io each Friday and

league. The schedule was divided

inlo two halves, pre- and post- Cbristmas,
with the viclors or each competition meeting aL the end of the season to determine

the winners. The teams or Gord. Macleod,
Bob Byron, AI. Thompson and Norm. Macleod from "A" Division, those of Bill Bell
and Bill Mummery, Erie Stinson aod Ted

team of Bill Pachal, Gladys Shavers, Eunice
Hunter, and Doug Mofrat captured

Driver's

while

Thompson's squad took third place.
Bowling was probably the best supported
or all College I'unetions of the past year
and maintained the continued interest of
the student body throughout both terms.
The B.c. Curling Club was organized
early in the second term. The use of the
Bmndon Curling Club's ice was arranged
1'01'

on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons.

The club was fairly well supported by the
student body though other student functions interl'ered somewhat with U,e smooth
functioning of the weekly draws. Curling
however, was anolher successful College
activity.

THE QUEST IN MERRIE ENGLAND
I awake with the morning sun and lie back in the beauty of half awareness that
comes wilh the rousing from a calm nighrs sleep. This stale, tbe dreamer's paradise, is
al once rudely shaltered. I suddenly realize tllat today is the day. Hesitantly I test lhe
morning air with a peeping foot, which, reassLLred by its warmth, drags out its male and
the body a ltached to it, and I am up.
Thrusting my razor into the abysmal cold of the warmesl hot water tap I could find
I silently brealhe forth imprecations, for how am I to succeed in Illy quest if my face looks
like a pcaled pomegranate.
It is true I have a roof o,'er my head, a nd a cozy one at tlla!. For in my flat in the
town of "Mueh-Binding-on-the-~larsh" I reign in bachelor splendor, combining the offices
of cook, butler and entrepeneur in myself.

uccessful as I am, there is one thing that continually halUlls nle, cigarettes;

Ulcir

shortage is always critical. II was only last night that 1 heard confidentially from i\lr.
Boom, the genial host of ti,e "Grcen Dragon", that the long awaited and overdue quota
of the smoking tubes were in town, and so my detenllination of thi morning.
1 sally forth-my regular tobacconist is far down town and 1 realize it would be fatal
to spend 100 much time, after the eight a.m. opening hour, in travel. So 1 therefore lry
the first tobacconist I come to and hope he is unlike all olher tobacconists.
t do and am sure that he is, for never have 1 se n a man whose face bears unmistakabty the imprint of honesly. Here indeed is a guileless man and my spirits rise.
But his stock is not encounlging. On the shel\'es are two 0" three packets of thc
sort of tobacco which it is impossible to smoke and some boWes of lighter fluid. That is
all.
I am dete"mined to be bold, for experience has taught me that at a moment such as
this i I is unwise to cringe.
I COllrageollsly say, "Hayc you any cigarettes?"

He shakes his head. He sighs. He shrugs his shoulders. He says, ":\0." He adds, "These
are hard times for tobacconists." He says, "Il cuts me to the quick to refuse a cuslomer."
He says that this is not the sort of trade to which he was bl'Ought np.
I am son'y for him. I say, "I wonder why you do not shut your shop and take a
holiday until lhings get belter, there can be little point of wasling your day here when
you have nothing to selL"
He points 10 lhe packet or lwo of tobacco which it is impossible to smoke and ti,e boltle
01' Iwo of lighle,· fluid and says, "As long as t have lhese [ musl keep my shOI) open."
But, 1 ask, "Could yon not place tI,em under the counter so that the shop would appeal" La be empty and you could then close it and go home?"

He sighs again. He says, "[ would if I could, but alas, there is no mOI'e room undcr
the counler."

He is indeed, as [ had realized from the start, a man incapable of guile.
So il is [ am both fortunate and successful in my quest. The shop keeper, confronted
with my pity and intelligence, sells me twu hundrcd prccious weeds, with the caution,
"Don't ever tell your motber:'
t return home quickly, engage in a fcw conventionat struggles. and I am soon again
csconced in my bed, with my mind, pervaded by the fceling of a job well done, drifting
back into a state of happy unconsciousness. The time is only eight-thirty a.m., only half
an hou,' and my momentous quest fulfilled easily, and t with a month's holiday stretching before me.

"TRIAL BY JURY"
The year 1945-16 has been a year of activity. Much of the activities
that Jay dOl'111ant during the war years were revived. One of these was

the prcscntation of a Major Production by the students of Brandon College to the public of Brandon and atso of surrounding points. The presentation this year took the form of a comic opereUa by Gilbert and
Sullivan in which the producers, partieipanls and directors joined with
wholehearled co-operation.
The costumes were gay and eolourful-Ihe singing of Ihe leads and
hy the supporting cast was inspired \\'ilh the freshness of youth and
absolule delighl and joy at being able to take pari radiated from Ihe faces
of the bridesmaids, jurymen, spectators and major' players. The music

added much to the presentation and for Ihe work of the orchestra in
playing and in arranging of Ihe music the college is deeply indebled.
The presen la tion was a success playing 10 packed houses both evenings of the performance but the ~Iajor Production was a success in anolhe,' very vilal way. The preparation and the presentation involved at
!east eighty-five students and the sale of tickels involved U,e enlire student
body. To the demands sel upon them the students rallied with a spiril
that gives promise of beller th.ings to come and the J'csulls were en-

couraging to even Ihe most skeptical. Indeed Brandon College was bridging the gulf of the war years and was exemplifying her rich tradition.
Let us hope that the future will see bigger ~Iajor Productions permeated
wilh the wholesome spirit that pervaded this year's undertaking.

IN WAR'S WAKE
The question is asked, "Now that thc war is ovcr, are the ti,e young men going to be
sad young nlcn?" In answer wcmighl say, "No, we do not Ulink so foJ' a most excellent
reason. They are sad young men already; if Lhey arc sad young men, then there is a fail'

chance tlmt life will begin at Ihirty instead of cnding at thirty and we think more Or less
that is whal is going to happen to this gencration." The years of depression did not make
young men and women fear tlmt life would cnd; rather it made them fear that life would
not have a beginning. 'Val' is ghastly and horrible but through tbe war many young people,
by their own achievements, found hope tlmt life would begin for them.
'Ve are now in the post-war cra that would bring great tbings, or so we were led to
believe. The fact remains, good hard work is necessa,·)' for the atlaining of objectives
and ti,e achieving of ambitions. The winning of the war is a tribute to the men who gave
cvcl'yUling they had, who had a unity of purpose and who were willing to make sacrifices,
und,'eamed of by many. Unity is still vital if the peace is to be won. Dire necessity pl'Omotes unity; we still have dire neccssity but we need more LlIlity. Such unity is not bred
by selfishness or by intellectual snobbery or by attempts at fabrication for actions which
aL'e undouhteclly wl'Ong, opinion to thc contrary.
Frankness, honcsty with one's self and sincerity must be exercised if any measurc
of eo-operation is to be arrived at. Co-ope"" tion implies surrender by indi,'idual of the
motive of setf for the motive of the many. An atlitude of "Every man for himself anti
the devil take the hindmost" is not compatible with the search for peace. So it is with
college· Here individuals ha"e the opportuni ty to learn co-operation but the process invoh'es surrender 1'0" the indh·idual. If co-operation cannot be learned at college, how tI,en
is it to be learned' later? Co-operation musl have a solid basis. What will provide that
basis? General MacArthur said, 'the problem is theological'. If we are honest we must agree.
Brandon College offe,'s the opportunity to gain such a basis for co-operation. The chance
to gain a firm grasp of fundamental princi I)les awaits anyone with the courage to take
hold and make something of such a foundation. Christian principles arc the firm foundalion despite criticism of the so-called "WOrldly" dcspite the backbiting of the cynics.
No institution is pcrfcct, the Christian church being no exccption but the pcrson and the
pen;Onalily 01' Christ al'e flawless. If we al'e 10 take advantage of the oppol'lunity presented
to us by Christ we !TIlist remembel' that in ga ining the rights thereby we Inust also accepl

the responsibility.
Young men may begin 10 live at thirty but !I:ey Illusl remember to build life on a
solid rock foundation and not on the shifting sands of intellectualism. The human race
can explain many things but it cannot explain itself; likewise it has improved many things
except itself. \,That better time Lo start (han now. Enemies in war do not wait nOr do the
dark forces that lurk in peace. The shadow lurkers of peace are tbe bold storm troopers of
war, Shall we wait and let our sons and daughters begin to live at thirty 01' perhaps ne'·e,·
live at all or shall we accept tl'llth and begin to build today.

TANTALIZING YOUTH
Often I lie awake laLe at night and think. I do not mindfully choose
any Lopie, but I infallibly fall into a very dreamy Illood and ponder abouL
the purpose of creaLion. AllllOUgh I will admit thai I would raU,er let
my mind off at union hours, 1 still keep thinking. Sometimes it is almost
a mental torture.
Being a youLh I lack the logic of a mnture mind. I experience doubts
and feal's when I realize how much insignificant man knows in cOlnparison to wha L he could know. Also how deep the philosophers must
delve into the depths of their limited knowledge to secure even a theoretical answer to many problems. I often wonder jf we actually realize

yet why we were put upon Lhis earth. If I could find the answer to Lhis
one pl'ohlcm HlY entire future would be as cleal' as the North Star Oil a

frosty December night.
'Vhen olle nears the end of his teens, he is at the most decisive (iDle

in life. Every decision he mnkes nt tbat time will have a teUing effect
upon his whole future. At the same time n youth will fmnkly admit Ihnt
he feels jneapable of deeiding with eertainty which palh 10 Lake. The
main reason for this is U,at the ideals set forth in one's personal philosophy are the primary facial'S governing all decisions of Ihis

nallll'e~

and the youth of today does not spend enough lime "just Lhinking", 10
really develop a personal philosophy. His life is expended in trying to
allain knowledge, while very lilUe lime is left to allow him to develop
his natural wisdom. God gave every human being a rational mind, with

potenlialiLies U131 often lie in a latent state throughout an entire lifeLime.
] am of the firm belief that kno,vlcdgc cannot be inserted inlo the llUnd,

but it may be brought out of the hidden state and precipitated into clearellt erystals by means of reading and leaming from those who have gone
on before.
If it were only possible to be confident wiU,in one's sell' that he knows
exaetly what he is capable of doing, and what he shonld do to betler
following generations, I Hill quite certain thaL each one of us would not

hesitate to put his shoulder to the wheel and do his share. However. unLi!
sueh a lime as we are quite certain, the only alternative teft for us is to
seek ouL knowledge, in whichever phase of life we chonse, in order thai
we might hand down that Illueh more knowledge 10 posLerily.

Round thy fair prospects fondly our memories twine,
"Jail I Hail! Brannon fOI'~ver-Hai1!

BRANDON WILL SHINE
Brandon will shine tonight,
Brandon wltl shine,
Dressed in her fighting best,
All down the Hne-Rah! Rail I Rah!

Forget your slams and knocks,
Boost all the time,
The sun goes down,
The moon comes up,
Brandon will shine.

BLUE AND GOLD
On to Victory, on to Viclory,
Blue and Gold today,
Raise the chorus proudly o'er us
Marching to the fray,

Rail! Rah! Rah!
Backward never. Forward evel"
Fighting all the way.
Join the rest and give your best,
For Blue and Gold.

_ _ _THE SICKLE

Appreciation .:..:.
E pause here to extend
our sincere thanks to
all the advertisers who
have used the 'Quill' or 'Sickle'
this .year. We are not foolish
enough to believe that we could
have enjoyed such a fine year
in our publications without the
co-operation of you-our advertisers. While your interest
in our publications has certainly been of great value to us,
we only hope that through the
"Quill" and "Sickle" you have
benefited as well as we by reo
ceiving adequate returns 011
your investments.
