With the termination of another College year, we, the
editol's, take pride in presenting the thirty-second edition
of the Sickle. It has been our aim, as it was of previous
editors to compile into one volume an account of the activities of the year. We hope that this yeal'book, in the years
to come, will serve as a reminder to you of the many pleasant
experiences and the companionships which you have enjoyed at Brandon College.
This being the sixtieth anniversary of Brandon College
it is fitting that it should also be the year in which this
institution initiates its long-planned expansion. With the
completion of the new buildings, we can look forward to
having, here at Brandon, one of the finest institutions of
higher learning in Western Canada. To those of you who
are returning, we hope that you will take full advantage
of the increasing facilities. To· those who are graduating,
we extend our congratulations and we hope that you will
be justly rewarded for your eHorts.
There is little that can be done to make a publication
of this type really different from previous editions. We
hope, however, that any innovation inconporated in this
edition will meet with your approval.
A number of people have contributed, with varying
degrees of co-operation, to make this yearbook possible. To
these people we extend our thanks. Due to lack of space,
we cannot enumerate, but we do think that the section
editors, typists, and the photograJphers deserve special
thanks.
We would also like to show our ClJPpreciation to the Sun
Printing 'Company for the helpful advice and co-operation
which has helped make this yearbook a success.

A TRIBUTE TO DR. EVANS
"HE WAS THE EMBODIMENT OF THE COLLEGE"
Dr. John Robert Char,les Evans, president of Brandon College for the
past 31 years, died suddenly at his summer home at Robson, B.C., on
July 23 last. He was in his 68th year.
Tribute to this remarkable man was paid by Dr. Hugh H. Saunderson,
president 'of the University, when he spoke at the turning of the first S'Od
of Brandon C'Ollege's new Arts and Library building on September 9. Here,
in part, .is what the president said:
"Although today is a happy occasion as we look forward to the increased 'O'Pportunities for education which this buiMing win make possible,
our happiness is mixed with sadness that Dr. Evans couldn't be here to
see this step taken. Someone has said that an institution is 'Only the lengthening shadow of a man. Certainly that is true of Brandon College. For a
great many of us, he was the embodiment of the college. Alfred North
Whitehead said that 'a true University education must be guided by an
habitual vision of greatness. John Evans had that vision! Perennially
short of money in the coUege, working in a'ging buildings that were too
small, dealing with pe'Ople who found it hard to see the possibilities that
were before them, he maintained his habitual vision 'of greatness; and those
around him gradually caught the spirit which he had.
"Some might say that this building, and the others that will follow,
should be considered as a tribute to his life work. They certainly were
important in his plans, 'b ut I would think that the bricks and stone and
concrete would be a po'Or tribute indeed without the maintenance of that
high spirit of educationarl adventure, that desire for academic excellence,
and for character development which he cherished for all around him.
"As this building gradually takes shape, and comes into use, the spirit
which he had and the vision of greatness which he maintained will fill its
rooms, and make it a blessing to all who work there.
"My words of greeting and good wishes then, are simply that this new
building and all that goes on in it may be worthy of the vision he had for
Brandon C'Ollege."
Hundreds filled St. Paul's United Church in Brandon when funeral
services were held on July 29. Those present included 200 members of
the Masonic order from Canadian and U.S. centres; members of the board,
faculty and the 1959 graduating class 'Of the college; mayors, reeves, provincial government representatives and other dignitaries.
Hon. J. S. McDiarmid, lieutenant-governor ·O'f Manitoba, in a special
tribute, said: "Dr. Evans was a most kindly man, and highly respected
for his lifelong dedication to his work . . . We have lost a distinguished
citizen and educator and a good friend 'Of the people of Manitoba".
Dr. Evans started as an instructor at Brandon College in 1911, while
working 'On his B.A. degree . He was successive'ly principal of the academic
department, professor of geology and dean, Ib efore 'b eing named president
in 1928. He also held teaching posts at Chicago Law School and the University of Chicag'O.
Dr. Evans joined the C.O.T.C., Brandon, in 1914, but was refused for
overseas duty because ofa physical defect. He commanded the Brandon
C.O.T.C. during both the First and Second World Wars.
We was awarded the Queen Elizabeth Coronation medal in 1958 for
his outstanding contribution to education in the British Commonwealth.
Dr. Evans is survived by his wife, the former Adeline Monica Bailey,
of Carberry, Man.; and 'a son, J. W. K. Evans.
It is in this great man's honour that we dedicate our Yearbook.

BRANDON COLLEGE 60th ANNIVERSARY
(Reprinted from Feb. 2, 1960, Brandon Daily Sun)
One day in 1890 a notice appeared in The Brandon Sun :
"Old patrons of the Rapid City Academy will be glad to know that Mr. S. J. McKee has decided to open
his academy in Brandon on Monday, November In.''
This year-1960'--IBrandon College is 60 years old. Its roots go further back. The college has constituted a
major cultural force in the pioneering and civilization of the Western IM anitoba prairies.
This year Brandon College prepares for great chang ~s. Many of the men who guided the institution through
its formative years and through a punishing decade of depression-from Dr. McKee to the late Dr. J. R. C. Evans
-will not see these changes. The sweeping college expansion program, calling for the spending of $3,600,000
over the next five years, is largely a result of the drea ms and tenacity of a handful of dedicated men.

In the late 1870's Scots and English settlers were pushing ahead of the railway-builders ,i nto the rolling
country of Western Manitoba. For awhile it looked like Rapid City was going to become the commercial hub of
the area.
OPENED IN 1880

An academy was opened there in 1880 by several Baptist clergymen. It was a denominational, residential
school, pro\'iding courses in English, mathematics, Latin, Greek, Hebrew and theology. For most of the decade
Dr. McKee was director of the school.
But the early promise of Rapid City soon faded. Brandon was ohosen to be the first CPR divisional point
west of Winnipeg, almost guaranteeing that the straggling tent town would become Manitoba's second city.
Keeping in step with the times, Dr. McKee abandoned the Rapid City operation, moved south and opened
his academy in rented rooms above Nation's Dry Goods Store at the corner of Eighth Street and Rosser Avenue.

Next year, in 1891, the sohool was shifted to the ' to p floor of Fraser's Store, now the Ohrest Block. During
the next nine years Dr. McKee's. private academy occupied various rented quarters around the town. The school
by 1897 had developed into a full-fledged business college, offering courses in typing, shorthand and bookkeeping.
By 1897 the academy was being called Brandon College.
But it was not yet certain whether the Baptists would establish a permanent college in Brandon. The Ba'ptist churches of Western Canada wer:e considering three o,t her college sites: Rapid City, Portage la Prairie and
Calgary.
However, delegates to the convention of Baptist churches- of Western Canada ,i n 1899 unanimously voted
to set up a college in Brandon . .Dr. A. P. McDiarmid was appointed principal. Professor McKee, whose sohool
was merged with the new institution, was made senior staff member.
Baptist board of directors, in the words of Dr. McD iarmid, envisioned "a Christian college in the West for
the training of young men and women in general, and in particular, for the helping of young men entering upon
pastoral and missionary service."

First year enrolment was 110 students, 13 of whom were heading towards the ministry. On Oct. 5, 1899, ,t he
board of directors approved that permanent college buildings be erected on a parcel of land bounded by Eighteenth and 'l1wentieth Streets and Princess and Lorne Avenues. Less than seven months later the conerstone
was laid for the five-storey main building.
BUI,LDING CAMPAIGN

During 19Q.O more than $33',000 was raised by canvassers across Oanada. Brandon College in this year became affiliated with the Univers'i ty of Manitoba.
The dollar went a lot further then than it does now. Residents at the college in the first year of the century
paid $31.25 a week for room and board.
An addition to the Administrative Building was constl'ucted in 1906 and named Clark Hall after Dr. W. S.
Clark, one of the major donors to the project. Clark Hall 'b ecame the women's residence.
In 1908 the department of theology was established. By this t ime Arts constituted the major faculty of the
college. Three years later the denominational institution switched its affiliation from the University of Manitoba
to Baptist·governed McMaster 'University, then located in Toronto.

After being at the helm s'i nce the formation of Brandon College, Dr. MaDiarmid retired from the presidency
in 1912. Dr. Howard P. Whidden, an American , succeeded him.
The 'b oard, accepting Dr. McDiarmid's resignation, p aid tribute to "Ilhe unconquerable lo·gic and manly cour·
age" he displayed in helping to establish the college "with no financial backing, save the faith and enthusiasm
of the few Baptists then resident in the West and the esteemed pledges of a few thousand dollars from hon.
ored friends in the East."

STUDENTS RECRUITED

Brandon College took an active part in the First World War. A platoon of students was recruited in 1916
for the 196th Battalion CEF. During the war commercial and theology courses were discontinued.
One year after the construction of the first unit of the Science Building, Dr. F . W. Sweet in 1923 succeeded
"
•
0'
Dr. Whidden as president.
Voicing some of the heartiness characteristic of that decade , Dr. Sweet in his 1924 president's report to
the board said:
"The knowledge acquired during these six months has given me admiration for Western Canada and good
hopes for the future ; confidence in the loyalty of western Baptists to the college; appreciation ·of the system of
higher education in the four provinces; a conviction that the Brandon type of college has an important place
in western education; satisfaction that Brandon as a ci ty has the characteristics most desirable for a small college city."
BECAME PRESIDENT

Dr. Sweet died in 1925. Dr. D. Bovington took over but retired a year later. Dr. J. R. C. Evans, after a
period as acting dean, in 1928 began ·h is 31-year span as college president.
During the next four years the college curriculumunderwent some fundamental changes. An increased demand for university courses caused the college in 1928 to drop the teaching of grade nine, a holdover from the
old academy.

Grade 10 was eliminated in 1930. Two years later grade 11 was discontinued, while grade 12 department of
education courses were insUtuted.
Brandon College, paralleling the development of the pmirie west, had grown from a prairie high school
to a college oNering complete university courses and having degree-conferring powers.
But the depression crippled the institution and nearly forced it to fold.
WESTERN SUPPORT

Baptist Union of Western Canada, 'meeting in Edmonton early in 1931, decided the financial condHion of
Brandon College ,was so shaky that its doors should be closed. A group of college supporters had agreed as a
syndicate to pay the institution $750,000 if the people of Western Canada raised $100,000 in 1930 and $400,000
more in the next three years.
But many people on the prairies were having a hard time feeding themselves as drought brought crop failures and the nation reeled under financial collapse. Only $4,000 was raised in 1930. Members of the syndicate
were released from their agreement.

At the time about 300 persons were enrolled at the college. About 190 of them were Arts students. It was
recognized that, beyond regular revenues, the college somehow had to raise $47 ,000 a year to carryon.
Only by borrowing against college securities and digging into a scholarship fund were faculty salaries
paid and students' laboratory and room fees returned at the end of the 1930-31 academic year.
But the college pulled through, narrowly staving off bankruptcy.
"SPLENDID SPIRIT"

"I am glad to be able to refer to the splend·i d atmosphere and spirit that have significantly prevailed throughout the year," said Dr. Evans in 1936. "It seems to me that ,h ere lies the reason, in the main, why Brandon College has been able to survive the trying days and years of depression through 'which we have passed. The spirit
of the institution is unique, without doubt, and in it is to be found our greatest asset."
The college limped along for two more years, its enrolment gradually swelling and its funds rapidly disappearing. The year of .crisis was· 1936.
Baptist Union at a convention that year finally decided the college ,s hould close Hs doors at the end of the
academic year. There was despair in Br.a ndon.
In a letter dated Feb. 18, 1938, Dr. Evans wrote :
"The uncertainty regarding the future of the college and the opinions that have unfortunately been expressed to the effect that the college will terminate its work this year have created an impossible situation •••
We cannot meet obligations pressing upon us, nor can we plan for the future either academically or financially."

But again the college weathered the storm-this time by undergoing a major re-organization.
AFFILIATION CHANGED

.
'

Affiliation was changed from McMaster to the Uni versHy of Manitoba. For the first time in its history,
the college became a non-denQminational corporation under a 36-member board of directors elected by the
Brandon College Association. Brandon Board of Trade assumed responsibility for control and administration of
the institution .
Eleven

Financial operation was drastkally overhauled. Manitoba government agreed to guarantee an annual $22,500
grant. The city agreed to an annual levy of one mill for a 20-year span. A. E. McKen7iie, president of A. E.
McKenzie Company Limited, made provision for a guaranteed endowment of $500,000.
The 1938 endowment was substantially increased in 1945 when the " A. E. 'McKenzie Foundation" was established for Brandon College by 'p rovincial legislation.
FIRH SCIENCE COURSE

Thus the modern Brandon College emerged in 1938 from economic chaos and near-defeat. Broadening of
academic facilities continued.
The first Bachelor of Science degrees were c'Onferred in 1939. Generally, since the end of the Second W'Orld
War Science classes' have been larger than those in Arts. In 1948 the social science department was formed
and the biology department reorganized, making more courses available to Ar~s and Science students. Departmen>tof political science was established in 1949.
Faculty of educat·ion was organized in 1952 in co-operation with the department of education and University of Manitoba. Next year at commencement the Education diplomas were conferred. The nurmal course in
teach~r training was stal'ted in 1955 in co-operation with the provincial department of education.
To cope with increasing enrolment, two temporary buildings were built-a recreation hall in 1954 and a
library in 1956.

Brandon College, like nearly all Canadian colleges and universities, had had to work hard to get philanthropic support. Before the current drive for funds-excluding the magnificent contl'ibutions of A. E. McKenzie
and A. E. IMcKenzie Foundation-largest single gift to the college was $7,500 in 1957.
In a letter to corporation executives in 1957, Dr. Evans said:

"The operation of Brandon Colleges makes it necessary to call upon our supporters quite heavily from
year to year."
ONE CAMPAIGN DIED

In 1949-the college's jubilee year-an appeal for funds was suspended after barely getting off the ground.
Only $9,700 was raised. It has been alleged that tbis campaign was killed, that the chairman was pressured
into calling ·o ff the fund drive.
However, the college board itself at the start couldn't agree on the objective. Some member wanted to
go for $100,000. The majority favored $500,000. There was no indication of public support. The 1949 campaign
was a baffling, frustrating experience f'Or those perso ns connected with Brandon College.
Later appeals, ma,i nly by letter, were more successful: $17,320 in 1954, nearly $17,000 in 1955 and about
$12,000 in 1957.
Of key importance for the college was the passing of a bylaw in 1958 renewing the annual one-mill levy
by the city for another 20 years.

But the college huildings are out-dated and inadequate. They have been for some. time. In a study puhlished
last year G. A. Brakely and Company stated:
"The kindest thing that can be said 'Of the college's academic and residenNal faciHties is that they are well
maintained. Replacement is not just desirable; it is essential, even for the present student enrolme~t. Lighting,
plumbing, heating and ventilating all are inadequate, indeed obsolete."
YEAR OF MILESTONES

In the history of Brandon College, 1959 will be remembered as yean of miles>tones. The mastet: plan for
college expansion, drafted in 1958, went into effect.
Work started on the new Arts and Library bu ildings in the fall. A new Science building, residence buildings and expanded teacher training facilities will be established in the next five years.

Provincial government in 1959 made an outright gift 'Of $500,000 to ,t he college. The province has also agreed
to give $2 for every $1 raised by the pU!blic campaign. Canada Council contributed a further $102,000.
It is hoped that public subscriptions will account for $1,000,000 of the total $3 ,600,000 cost of expanding
college faciltities. This week the campaign drive had netted close to $500,000.
And 1959 will be remembered for one very d ifferent reason. On Ju ly 23, Dr. J. R. C. Evans died. He had
been president of Brandon College for 31 years. He had tied his life and his many talents to the college and
had struggled with it through its stormiest days.

"He played fairly but strongly," said 'Rev. W. C. Smalley, general secretary of the Baptist Union of Western Canada, at the funeral. "I was always glad t'O be on his side. He l:ived whole-heartedly. He did only what
was worth doing."
"He still live&-a symbol of beauty and of truth," said Rev. J . A. Berridge of Brandon's First Church
United.
And his college still lives. Dr. Evans had a great dream. The dream is now 'b eing realized but the man
cannot be here to share it.

DR. PERDUE/S MESSAGE TO THE SICKLE

This year-end message necessarily reflects the joys and sorrows
of our College family group. The loss of our beloved president, Dr.
J. R. C. Evans, last July was a shock of a major nature. In a very real
sense he was "Mr. Brandon CoUege", having dedicated a lifetime to
developing within this institution sound scholarshtp, high ideals and
a sense of moral responsibility which all combined to enhanc€ its
reputation and win for it a distinchve place in higher education in
Canada. His .loss was and still is severely felt by all.
His dreams and plans for expansion are becoming a reality, and
will be increasingly so as those dedicated members of the College
Board, Faculty, Student Body and Citizens of Brandon work together
toward that goal.
The College family must face the future with faith, courage, and
determination; firmly resolved to raise upon the- foundations of the
past a superstructure worthy of those dedicated souls who have given
so much to this institution during · the sixty years of her existence.
This year has been marked by a determination on the part of all
-students, faculty and College board-to carryon with faith, a will
to co-operate, and a desire to do one's best for the good of all. For
this noble response we are all grateful.
The plans for physical expansion make provision for our material
needs. For our intellectual, moral and spiritual progress, may the College be blessed by a dedicated faculty and an understanding student
body, working together for the high ideals of scholarship, combined
with loyalty and devotion to all that is best in life.

STICKS1 MESSAGE
As we realize that our years at Brandon College are
rapidly drawing to a close, we find it difficult to express
what our Alma Mater has come to mean to us. The many
experiences that we have encountered here, and the many
wonderful friendships that we ha:ve made will always be
among our most cherished memories. We are grateful for
the benefits that we have gained from our College home
and it is with' sadness that we say "farewell".
During 'o ur years at Brandon College, we ha've seen
forces at work which have gradually undermined the values
and the ideals of our institution. There have been occasions
this year, as in other years, when the full criteria of cooperation and willingness to serve has not been met. The
change has been in the direction of a lack of responsilbility
by each student, a more materialistic outlook on College
rewards and a seeming indifference to the great work and
purpose that has gone on before, It is only if the students
cultivate a determination and a desire to uphold the responsibility that is theirs that the' traditions and ideals for which
Brandon College is so widely known will be maintained.
The support that we have received fmm the students,
the administration and the faculty has been excellent, although limited to fewer sources. We have a gre·a t faith that
the student body can arise to meet the difficulties of a new
transitional era in the life of Brandon College, but in order
to do so, the students must be firmly convinced of the merits
of the institution and must be willing to uphold them even
at the seeming loss of individual rewards.
To you, the students, and to Brandon College, we wish
success and good fortune in the future .
Regina and Bob.

DONNA McDONALD

DICK McDONALD

Int,o our crystal ball we gaze
And through the dark and murky haze
We see a 'p lace that's far away
But the people there are here today.

To Europe Bobby Simmons went
These twenty years there he spent
He's Lord of a Manor now, you know
He was knighted several years ago .

The story in our crystal ball
Began one day in early fall
'Twas at the door of ·B randon College
We all came in search of knowledge.

A minister is Warren McKinnon
He spends his life a stoppin' sinnin'.
Donna Wilkins is a 'DV star
And in this field she has gone f ar.

A Science or Arts degree we sought
But very few of us really thought
That we would ever see the date
When all of us would graduate.

Dave Halstead, too in .£. TV
Quite a well·known mimic is he .

But twenty years have passed y'o u see,
'Tis Homecoming Week in old B.C.
Now in verse we will give the fates
Of the 1960 graduates.

And what of the boy called Murray Zuk ?
The Education course he took
To teach the youth was his ambition
Though 'tis often 'gainst their volition .

Robert Melvin, to our relief
In politics has follow ed Dief.

The pilot who brought us here today ,
Was Jim Potter, of TCA.
The competent stewardess on the fligh t
Was Rene Hrushowy, who's here tonight.

Regina , too, has found her place
Though not in the political race.
In social welfare is her work
Her duties there she does not shirk.

Terry McFadden is now a pro
In the Arthur Murray studio.

A medical doctor is John Lockie
But he is not just a G.P.
On tropical islands he plays his games
Curing diseases of unknown names.
The T. Eaton .company has a new name
It's Mitchell & Eaton due to our Clark's fame.
Their staff is hired by Larry Smith
So if you want a job, go there forthwith.
A milhonaire is Jack Mahoney
He dedicates his life to making money.
Norville Spence now here ap]5ears
He still has yet to show his years,
His doctorate he has in 'P sych
But still looks like a little tyke.
Bill Evans is President of OBC
And Barry Heselgrave , his top MC.
In charge of sets for all the shows
Is Ed Gillespie, as everyone knows.
Thir t y

And for the sweetest music in all the land
It's Wayne Murton and his College Band.
In Vegas, Prior's made his fame
As dealer in a poker game.
Since only at night this game they play
Gary has time to golf all day.
If you go to the symphony

John Chudzik you will surely see.
Conducting this group he sure looks cute
While Arthur Slifka plays the flut e.
In the best seat sits Sandra Lowe
To the planet Mars she's often sent
To plan the ideal government.
Alden , The Thinker, remember, all ?
At graduation had a ball.
But since that time he's 'p roved to us
Thoug'h that night he made such a fuss
To the College he gave dedication
As Minister of Education.

Mac got married and the girls are sore
Most eligible bachelor he is no more.
up north
His br·o ther Chuck is
Scientific data bringing forth.

Here's Tom Ross with his lovely wife
The only one who planned his life
In Big Business he made his dough
For the rest of his life he can take it slow.

Cecil Bund is another one
Who spends his life 'neath the "midnight sun".

The authors of this prophecy
Are Donna and Dick, both called McDee
But I guess enough's been said
The graduates are turning red.

s.tm

Gerry MacDonald in the halls we see
A Physics ·professor at old B.C.
At the Olympics, a familiar face
Stan Boguski's found his place
As Stick Boy for the Russian team
The NHL's his future dream.
Fred McIntosh's fame has spread
On the seven seas he's earned his bread
Writing tales of by-gone days
All countries have been 'neath his gaze.
A refuelling base between Earth and Mars
Is Barry McLennan and George De Mare's
It offers service and com:Dort, too
To weary travellers the planets through.

And now we think it would be well
To finish with our College yell
"'60 '60 we will be
The' cla~s that makes it, wait and see".
But because of our crystal ball
We've told you NOW of one and all
And so we found our wish came true
We all made it, all came through
None of our hopes have been denied
Just as we have prophesied.

Dick McDonald

DR. McCUTCHEON/S MESSAGE TO THE SICKLE

DR. W. W. McCUTCHEON

To you, who will soon be assuming the responsibilities
of teachers, go my best wishes.
Conditions in the present century are changing faster
than in any ,previous period in history. Indeed, some people
feel these changes are occurring with almost disconcerting
rapidity. The result is an accumulation 'Of lmowledge which
must be made available. This necessitates giving more and
more attention to the extension and improvement of educational opportunities at all levels of learning. The importance of the teacher rightfully asserts itself.
Platitudes and criticisms by the uninformed always
have ,b een land possilbly always will be, ass'Ociated with te'aching. But the status and recognition accorded t'O the professions are, in large measure, relat~d t'O the standards and
extent of training that you, as members, require of yourselves. May each of you, as you set your own high goal of
training, achievement and performance, add to the prestige
of the profession of which you are now a vital member.

Stick, the Lady Stick, the Board managers, the Class presidents, and the faculty 'advisor, Mr. Birkinshaw.
The increased student enrolment and the emharkment
of the first year of expansion have tested to a maximum
the administrative and organizing abilities of the student
leaders. However, we may safely infer that this year has
been extremely successful and that the student body has
co-operated to the utmost in carrying out and supporting
the varied program of functions and activities arranged
under the auspices of the executive.
The necessity of this more extensive program 'Of activities resulted in lively discussions 'and lengthy deli>beration at our weekly meetings to assure that the actions
t'a ken by the executive would be in the best -interest of
the entire student body. Our Senior and Lady Sticks must
be commended for their excellent leadersh1p and successful
management throughout the year. To you, Bob and Regina,
our congratulations and appreci'ation for a fine job; and
to the student body, your co-operation has been most
gratifying.
Best wishes for 'a successful year to the Main Executive
of '60-'61.

FINANCE BOARD
Under the expert guidance of Manager Lloyd Nikkel,
and the co-operation of 'all the Treasurers, the board reports
a very successful financial year. Although the meetings held
were few in number, the business transacted was 'of great
importance since the Finance Board controls the allotment
of monies to the various boards.
We wish Lloyd and his new board continued success
in '60-'61 when he will again be at the helm 'Of the Finance
Board.

This year's activities were highlighted by the Sigma
Mu dance-"The Beatnik Brawl". Mattresses strewn ·appropriately, costumes of unique design, and the best of food
proved once again that the male members of the B.C.S.A.
are by f:ar the most versatile and original group.
The common room, long under the jurisdiction of no
one, was assigned to the Fraternity for all male members,
both resident and non-resident. The Fraternity was approached by its executive and agreed to maintain and preserve this room. A committee including the executive, Murray Zuk, and Dunc Robertson were placed in charge of the
operation of the room and the implementation of the rules.
It can be said that there is a new look to this, now hallowed
male hide-away.
It is the hope of the executive that in future years the
Fraternity may come to play an even greater and more significant part, not only in matters of the B.C.S.A. but also
for the stimulation, enlightenment 'a nd enjoyment of its
members.

PUBLICATIONS' BOARD
1959-60 has come and gone . We are happy to report
that it has left in its wake the results of a very successful
year, publication-wise.
The Handbook was very capably edited by Marg Young.
Credit is certainly due to her 'and her assistants for the
high quality of the book.
We feel that the Quill has met with increasing success
as the year progresses. The degree of student participation
in the p<IJper was greatly stimulated much to the gratification of the editors. The first term co-editors were Enid
Currie and Alf Brooks while Alf and Pat Dodds handled
the chore for second term. Regarding the Quill, this year a
new measure was ' innovated in that copies were sent each
month to the high schools in the surrounding district. In
this way the Publioations Board has endeavoured to increase
interest in and knowledge of Brandon College with a view
to the future expansion in mind.
The Sickle under the editorship of Wayne Kirbyson,
assisted by Bill Godolphin is our attempt to. r ecord for you
the many ple1asureable events of the past year "en masse" .
Many hours of hard work have 'b een put into this book
especially by the editors but not forgetting the typists, reporters and others. The editor has expressed the regret
that such a considerable number of students neglected to
have their pictures taken. Otherwise, the 'book has been a
pleasure to publish for you and it is hoped it will be enjoyed
by all.
A vote of thanks is expressed by all the members of
the board to our faculty advisors, Mr. Thordarson and Mrs.
Cowan, whose timely 'advice and assistance have 'b een well
appreciated.
As must surely be the case every year, no.thing is accomplished without some difficulties. We have been fortunate this year in that ours were at a minimum. Much of
the credit for this is due to our most capable manager, Miss
Nona Malyon, further inducing the wholehearted co-operation of the entire board.
To the Pub. Board of 1960-61-the best of luck in an
even more successful year!

. 1\1r. Lawrence, Director of the parent organization was present at one. of 1:Jhe first meetings ·o f ,t his . committee and outlined the work that was being done by the Expansion Fund. He als'O explained t hat this students'
. committee was to effectively organize the student body of Br,a ndon College ,b ehind the Expansion program,
Several 'p rojects were undertaken by the students under the direction 'Of this committee. Each student contributed $1 (nne dollar) with the Clas,s es' of '60 and '62 making ,the initial 'c ontribution to the larger organization. About $305, of the' total receipts came from this source. Donna Wilkins managed 1:Jhe sale of Christmas
cards and realized a profit of $44. Proceeds from Lit Ni te also went to this Committee and thus added a sum
of $79. A grant of $50 from the Main Executive brought the ' total to approximately $478.
There were two projects iIi particular 'Mhich greatly added ' to . the f und as well as to the spirit behind this
drive . The first of these was ,t he Expansion Fund hockey game be·tween the Wheat Kings and 1:Jhe College Caps ,
organized by Warren McKinnon , Jean Yeo , Olark Mitch ell and Mrs. ,Cowan. Between peri-od entertainment was
provided by a broomball game between the ReASe from Shilo and the Lions Club of Brandon. ' The evening
ended with a dance on uhe ice to the music ·o f ,t he College Combo. As well as being good entertainment, this
event ,a dded a sum of $3'74 t,o bring the total to $852.
.
Another very enjoyable evening that was sponsored by this commi.ttee was the staging of Major Production .
in Virden , Manitoba , on March 5. Under uhe capable ·direction of Alden Slawson, this affair was most successful
and added another $22'3 to the fund . The profits from Major Production in Brandon are als·a being co,n tributed
to this comm ittee, and this will bring ,t he total proce eds to around $1205. This is well over the objective' set
for the students this year. The entire student body deserves credit for a job well done.

The Publicity Committee was introduced to the B.C.S.A. this year for the first time. Its purpose was to provide necessary publicity for the different activities of the college. This objective
was carried out under the capable management of Barry HeselgI"ave.
As the football season was cut short the committee was able to get right into the hockey
season. The committee came forth with the "Most Eligible Date Contest" which proved to be
very successful 'and drew a large crowd to the College Caps vs. Goodlands game.
A "Ron BOl'otsik Night" was held on January 25 with Ron appearing on CKX-TV. This endeavor also brought good response from the students.
The Publicity Committee publicized the Expansion Fund hockey game which was a match
between the Caps and the Brandon Wheat Kings.
The committee did a very good job of publicizing this year's Major Production and excellent
crowds turned out for the play.
The committee would like to thank the student body for the co-operation they have received
and to express their best wishes to next year's committee which will then function ·as a board.

LITERARY BOARD

..

The year 1959-60 ha1s witnessed an upsurge in the cultural and literary interest of Brandon
College.
The International Relations Conference, the culmination of months of preparation by students
concerned, started off the '59-'60 Literary year in fine fashion, the topic under discussion being
"Mrican Nationalism". Credit is most deservedly bestowed upon the convenors Fred MacIntosh
and manne Fowler for their international co-operation and 'organization with Minot.
The activities of the various clubs maintained a healthy pace throughout the year due to the
concerted and able leadership of their various presidents.
Debating aUained gre'a t acclaim at our college this year with the dedication of a new literary
trophy for interclass debate-the Dr. J. R. C. E-vans Memorial Trophy for Debating. Under the
supervision of Don Goodfellow, public speaking classes were begun; outside debating was fostered and inter-class debating flourished.
The I.R.C. was guided through a successful year by Hugh Halliday. The club had several well
travelled and well versed speakers from Mrica, China and the Canadian Parliament. Several interesting films were shown and plans are proceeding smoothly for the 1960 Peace Garden Conference on "Red China".
Cecil Bund, president of the Science Club provlided students with a faS'cinating program of
scientific entertainment over the year. The Science Club conducted tours, brought in speakers,
and showed several excellent films.
The Glee Club under the leadership 'Of DaVId Wilson and Mr. H. Davies regained its feet
and overcame the prediction that it was doomed to defeat. · The Glee Club sang at the Rotary
Carol Festival, Chapel and several cQllege functions.
The Radio Club produced a bi-weekly progr am "Brandon College on the Air" under the direction of Ruth Brown and Ron Kirbyson. The programs were '.interesting, ,c ontroversial and one
program, a panel on CastllO"s Cuba, was the centre of an article in the Brandon Sun.
The French Club, sur Ie direction de Mme. Jean McQuarrie, provided students an opportunity to enhance their knowledge of French through singing, acting and talking. Highlight of
the year was the French play produced for Lit Nite.
Lit Nite revealed untold talent both of students and faculty land provided a very enjoyable
evening's entertainment convened by Pat Stanley. This year another new literary trophy was
inaugurated-the Edith Laycock TrQphy for inter-class competition at Lit Nite-this year captured by '61.
Public Speak1ng Night was another literary success despite keen competition from Stratford
Ph!Jyers. The Clalss of '62 walked away with three of the four events to win the Stick's Trophy
for Public Speaking.
This year something new was added to the literary functilOns- lnter Varsity N1ght-an extremely interesting, intellectual and highly cultural progmm was presented featuring University
of Manitoba and Notre Dame College.
Major Production was a tremendous success this year both audience-wise and financially. The
play "The Reluctant Debutante" was skillfully executed by the cast la nd was taken to Virden
f'or a 'One night performance. Congratulations to' director Miss Edith Laycock and produce·r Barry
McLennan.
Negotiations have been started with such colleges as Regina, Calgary, St. John's, and more,
in hopes that la dehating circuit similar to that of the McGowan Cup series among the universities, may be begun among the smaller colleges.
It has been a pleasure serving you as Manager of the Literary Board and to my successor,
Hugh Halliday-the best 'of luck and may you have a board as aggressive and dedicated as this
one has been.

LIT NIGHT
Lit. Night Friday, Nov. 20 in Aggie School
Merv. Letts, Manager of the Literary
Board, introduced the evening by outlining
the purpose and importance of Lit. Night.
He als'o eX!plained the Edith Lay'c ock
Trophy, which is ,to be awarded this year
for the first time to the winning class. Barry
Heselgrave then took ,o ver as Master of
Ceremonies.
An hilarious skit, enacted by "John and
Marsha ", depicting the return of a lost lover, set the atmosphere for the evening and
provided a riotous ·o pening for the program.
T.T.C. presented the first play, a pantomime entitled "Romeo and Juliet" . Nan
Norsworthy directed this production, and
Diane Fowler acted as narrator. Their play
was a satire on William Shakespeare's famous tragedy, and we saw Romeo, George
Turner, vainly in pursuit of Juliet, a blackhaired 'b eauty played by Lionel Ditz.
A most enjoyable vocal solo by Gail Field,
was followed by a "Sneaky Play by '63",
directed by Dave !Bergman and Lorne
Moore. We were given a personal glimpse
into the life and loves of Fidel Castro, Gary
Whetter.
Cathy O'Brian favored us with a piano
solo, after which second year conducted
their amusing interpretation of the currently controversial topic, the race to the moon.
Their play, entitled "Space Age" or "What
Time Does the BaUoon Go Up" , took the
form of a television programme covering
current affairs. The directors and announcers were Murray IB ailey and Buck Henault.
A highlight of the evening was the faculty
skit, under the ,a'b le direction of Profes's or
Walmsley. Dr. Laskin, acting as a psychologist, rated the various professors according
to their intelligence quotients. This was the
first year that the faculty ·hasattempted
such a production and they would have
undoubtedly walked off with the honours,
had they been eligible for competition.
Following intermission, the CLass of '61
provided a deviation from most of the plays,
in the form ·o f a melodramatic mystery
entitled "A Synthetic Suicide", directed by
Bob Coleman and Janet Mooney. The big
question in the minds of the ·a udience was
"who done it", but there was little doubt in
the minds of the judges as to "who won it".
After a vocal solo by Bill Godolphin, a
French Olub play "Le Medicifll Malgre Lui"
was st'a ged under the direction of Jean
McQuarrie. It was evident that a lot of
time and effort had been put into this play,
and all the actors should be commended
on their fine performances.
The "dethroned" Olass of '60 presented
a humorous farce, "The Probe" , directed
by "Sir" John 'L ockie. Investigator, Fred
McIntosh; 'Englishman , Alden Slawson, and
AlbIe Mable, Donna Wilkins, carried the
maj'Ority of the humor.
The Glee Club, under the supervision of
David Wilson, vocalized several numbers.
The programme was climaxed by the
much anticipated decision of the judges:
Miss Edith Laycock, Professor Wong, and
Dr. Entz. Top honors were awarded in the
following ,o rder: '61, '62, '60.
Lunch was served, and the evening was
concluded with a dance.
Pat. Stanley, Convenor of Lit. Ni,ght is
to be congratulated on a job well done.

SCENES FROM MAJOR PRODUCTI,O N

One hundred and two

MAJOR PRODUCTION
RELUCTANT DEBUTANTEll
Witty, delightful, polished-only a few of the words to descr~be the smash hit of the 1960
Literary Board's presentation of the Major Production. The captivating semi-<fa;l1cial 'c'Omedy was played
before appreciative audiences at the City Hall auditorium, February 24, 25 and 26. As an added
inno'vation this year, the Major Production travelled to Virden on March 5, in aid of the Expansion Fund. At Virden it was most gratifying to play before a capacity house which fully enjoyed itself.
In short, the main theme of the play is the attempt of a harrassed mother, Sheila Broadbent,
played by Shirley Haines to trap a husband for her daughter during the height of the "London
Season". Karen Case, enchanting as Jane Broadbent, simply wasn't having any-that is, until
"Mr. Right" came along. Ian Barnes, as Jimmy Broadbent, possessed just the right feeling for
his part, with his sympathy for his daughter hidden from his wife, and yet was convincing to
his wife that he thought she did know what was best for their daughter. Donna Wilkins as Mabel
Crosswaite, Sheila's social climbing friend, and Nan Norswo'r thy as her daughter, Clarissa, both
had the interpretati'Ons of their parts completely in mind. Suave and polished, David HoylakeJohnson, played by Paul Lukie, won the "Reluctant Debutante" despite the romantic fervor of
David Bulloch, played by Lionel Ditz. Janet Mooney showing the essence of politeness as the
maid rounded out the cast.
The long hours 'Of hard work under the capable direction of Miss Edith Laycock were well
rewarding to all those concerned. Besides the players there are always numerous hard wo,r king
people behind the scenes. To Barry McLennan as the manager of this year's production goes
much credit for a difficult job weU done. Others to whom a s'a lute for the success of the play
is due are: Merv Letts, Lit board manager; Dr. H. S. Perdue, Lorne Watson, faculty advisors;
Fred McIntosh, publicity; John Chudzik, ticket sales; Ed Gillespie and J,ack Mahoney, props; Marg
Fargey and Nona Malyon, properties; Marg Moody, costumes.
To a,ny one else to whom the success of the play is due, all those concerned express a sincere thank you.

I.R.C. CONFERENCE
The Brandon International Relations Club began
its first term activities witih the annual International
Relations Conference which was held in conjunction
with Minot State Teachers'CoUege on SePttember 30.
Thirty Brandon students ,a ttended the Conference
whioh was held in the Lodge at the International
Peace Garden. The students were greeted with coffee and doughnuts supplied by the' iDunseith Ladies'
Aid who catered for tJhe banquet, lunch, and coffee
breaks. The real business ·o f the day got under way
with a paper given by a Brandon student, Hugh
Hallida·y. This prepared us for a day of discussion
on the Conference topic, "African Nationalism".
Following the paper we broke into groups to discuss the various hi·s torical problems W1hich give rise
to African Nationalism.
After lunch, some en,t er.tainment was .provided
by each school. As this venture was an outstanding
success it promises to set a precedent for other
Conf.erences. The afternoon paper wa·s presented
by .a Minot student, followed by a discussion period
which dealt with present day political situations
in various parts of Africa. A short business meeting
was held, in which it was decided to call the executive at Minot in October. This meeting will be
for the purpose ·o f planning the 1960 Intern'a tional
Relations Conference.
The evening banquet saw many distinguished
guests present from both Minot and Brandon. At
the banquet recognition was paid to M. J . Tinline
who had been superintendent of the Peace Garden
for many years. The guest speaker, Dr. Alexander
Burr. Head of Economic and Resource Commission
of North Dakota , spoke on "Resources of Undeveloped Countries".
We are looking forward to nelGt year's Conf.erence and we wish luck to its convenor and secretary.

RADIO PROGRAMS
"Brandon College on the Air", a fifteen minute
broadoast from OKX Radio, was convened by Ron
Kirbyson, assisted by Ruth Brown.
The first pr.ogram was .of an introductory nature,
glancing back over College news and previewing
future plans. Next, the International Relations Club,
under the direction ·o f Hugh Halliday, with panelists Donna Wilkins, Don Axford and Bri,a n McKenzie,
discussed whether or not Red China will become a
member 0'£ the Western Alliance within the next
five years. Following electi.on week, came an interview with the new Main Executive, who discussed
their plans for next year. The final program featu;red vocalist Gail Field, accompanied by Ann Mane
Grobb , and the College Combo, (Wayne Murton,
Brian Thorkelson, Warren McKinnon, Murray Bailey,
Les Milne, Ike Prokaska), with announcer Clair
Davies.
Ron and I would like to thank those students
who took part in the prognams, and also Mr. Frank
Bird, Pr·o gram Director ·o f OKX Radio , and Mr.
Harold Donagh.

FRENCH CLUB
This year the Brandon College French Club had
quite a successful year, de's pite its shortage of members due to .t he obvious aversion to tJhe French
language by a large majority of students.
The f irst meeting was held on October 2.2, 195'9,
during which the election ·o fofficers took ,p lace.
Jean McQuarrie was elected president while Peter
Symons was chosen secretary. Merv Letts gave us
an outline of the previous year's activities.
One hundred a nd fou r

The following week plans were underway for
the play W1hich was to be performed by t he club
on Lit Nite. Andre Auriat arranged "Le Medicin
Malgre Lui" ("The Doctor in Spite of Himself").
Throughout the first few weeks of November, rehearsals were rreld. Gail Foster, Andre Auriat,
Lionel Ditz, Marg Moody, Maurice Yunik and Peter
Symons took part in the production. Capable direction was given to us by Miss McNeill and Jean
McQu,a rrie. The play was quite well received at Ut
Nite.
After the Christmas holidays the club saw les s
action than before due to the unsuccessful attempt
to find a time when other Literary and Athletic
events were not filling up t he schedule . However
the French Glub is expected to r eceive some films
from the French Embassy in Ottawa.

DEBATING CLUB
This year the Brandon College Debating Society
had one of its most successful years with inter-year
debating being successfully carried out, annual debating between our First Year College students and
the Grade Twelve elas's of Brandon Collegiate continuing, debating between 'B randon College and
Notre Dame being initiated, and perhaps most important, a trophy being presented to the Debating
Society for inter-year debating.
Inter-Year debating went into full swing on
October 13, 1959 when the Class ·o f '62, represented
by Donald Axfo·r d and Eleanor Penton, defeated
the Class of '61 on the ,topic, "Be it resolved that
Canada should adopt a position of neutrality in the
Cold W'a r between the United States and Russia".
'62 had the affirmative. Don Goodfellow and Ron
Rennie represented '61.
The second debate was on October 20, 1959, with
Teacher Training pitted against Education. The
topic was "Be it resolved that Canada should withdraw from the Commonwealth". The negative, Education, was defended by Helen Wright and iRan
Kil'byson , defeated the T.T.C. class of Lionel Ditz
and Andre Auriat.
On November 3, 1959, the third debate found
'63 against the graduate class of '60. The topic, being very controversial, drew an exceptionally large
crowd. 'I1hat topic waS "iBe' it resolved that there
are too many extm-curricular activities at Brandon
College". '63 upheld the af.firmative and were victorious over the '60 debaters , Barry McLennan and
David Halstead. The '63 debaters , were Sharon
Scott and Murray Smith.
The last debate before Chri's tmas was staged on
November 17, 1959. The topic was, "Be it resolved
that the Canadian Senate should be abolished". The
winner of the debate was '62, upheld by Bill God()lphin and Clair Davies. They defea't ed the affirmative
Education, upheld by Alf Brooks and Helen Wright.
Debating started right after the New Year with
'61 defeating Teacher Training on the topic, "'Be
it resolved tlhat education in Canada be placed under the direct control of the Federal Government".
'61, the affirmative was upheld by Hugh Halliday
and Len Peltz, and the T.T.C. team consisted of
Andre Auriat and Gordon Yaciuk.
One week later the '62 team defeated the '63
team on tihe topic, "Be it resolved that professionalism is ruining sports" . '62 had the affirmative and
was defended by Glen McKinnon and Pat Dodds.
Len Rivers and Joan Myers debated for '63. This
win enabled '6·2 to reach the f'inal in the InterYear Debating.
In the other semi-final, '61 defeated '60 on the
topic, "Be it resolved that Premier Smallrwood of
Newfoundland w,as justified in his actions against
the lnternational Woodworkers of America". '61
was upheld by Len Peltz and E'd Loucks, who ,t ook
the affirmative, while Terry McFadden and Cecil
Bund debated for the l()sing '60 team.
On March 1, the ftinals of the· Brandon College
Debating Society were held with the winner receiving the J . R .C. E:Vans Memorial Trophy for Debating. 'Ilhis topic w,a s, "Be it resolved that religious
teaching should be a part of the Manitoba Public
School Curriculum" . '62 had the affirmative and
defeated the '61 team of Ed Loucks and Don Goodfellow. Don Axford and 'B ill Godolphin debated for
the winning class of '62.
As stated above, the winning class this year in
inter-ye,a r debating received the J . R. C. Evans
Memorial Trophy for Debating. This was the first
year that this trophy was presented. The Debating
Society is very thankful to that person who donated
the trophy in honour of our former great president,

Dr. J. R. C. Evans. The person who donated the
trophy wishes to remain anonymous.
This year debating was started between Boondon
College and Notre Dame of Wilcox, with the hope
tJhat it would become an annual event. Brandon
hosted the Notre Dame team on February 5, 1960,
at a debate which was the feature presentation at
Brandon Col'lege's first annual Inter-Varsity Night.
The Brandon debaters were Hugh Halliday and Pat
Dodds, while E,z ra Wana and Larry Roine defended
Notre Dame. The topic was, "Be it resolved that
Canada should recognize Red China". The judges,
Mrs. G. R. Rowe, >Mr. J. Blackwood and Mr. M. Kavanagh, were una'b le to reach a decision in favour
'of either side and thus were forced to call the
debate a tie.
First Year College and Grade Twelve of Brandon
Collegiate staged their second annual debate, this
year on February 26, in the ,B randon Collegiate
Audi,torium. The topic was, "Be it resolved that
Canada should join politically with the United
States" . Brandon College had the negative and was
upheld by Joan Myers and Leslie Findlay. Brandon
College won.
Again this year Don Goodfellow was president
and George Young and Pat Breen shared the duties
of the vice-president. The executive of the debating
society would like to thank all those debaters who
ably defended their classes and also those many
students who faithfully turned out to urge their
classes on to victory or to . . . Many thanks must
go to those faculty members, and especially Prof.
Walmsley, who contributed their time and effort
in helping not only the debaters gather material,
but also in tbeJping the executive by judging the
debates and by offering constructive criticism to all.

This year the Internat ional Relat ions Club had
one of its busiest years, and support from the student body was commendable. The first term got
off to a good start with the annual conference at
the Peace Gardens. After ,a n initial re-organizaHon
meeting on October 15, the club's activities began
in earnest.
The year's program included two speakers. Dr.
Katherine Hockin addressed the club on October
26 , outlining the background of the Communist
Revolution in China and recounting her own observations in that land. On November 10, Mr. WaIter
Dinsdale, M.P. , spoke on NATO, and his talk provoked much questioning and some controversy.
Members of the club also viewed a varied assortment of films during the year. These included
" One World or None" (October 30), "Gth'a ndi" (January 8), and "Len.in" (February 29).
Perhaps the most encouraging aspect of the
year was the large amount of student SUPPOl'lt and
activities. This went beyond students appearing at
meetings-it included active participation. Students
elected the convenor, corresponding secretary and
paper prepared for ,t he 1960 Conference. John
Greasley did much work to prepare a Bibliography
for the conference. Peter Symons prepared and delivered a paper on Red Ohih_a (November 24). Brian
McKenzie, Don Axford, and Donna Wilkins took
part in a Radio Olub discussion on Russia and China.
Glen Beck and Robert Henault participated in a
panel discussion on Algeria at Inter-Varsity Nite.
All in all, the support and enthusiasm shown was
most praiseworthy.
The Executive for the year consisted of the
following:
President-Hugh Halliday
Secretary-Jean Yeo
The president for 1960-61 will be Don Axford.

GLEE

CLUB

The past year marked the beginning of a re-building program
for the Brandon College Glee Club. Not aU our objectives were
accomplished, but the Glee Club once more took its place as an integral
part of the College community. Mr. Humphrey Da'vies contributed
much of his time and talent to the weekly practices and conducted
the group 'a t Inter-Varsity Night. The cluib expressed the,j,r appreciation of his services In a presentation at the end of the season. The
club also carried the name of Brandon Coll~ge into the Rotary Carol
Festival, entertaIined at Lit Night, and presented a program in Chapel.
A vote of thanks is due Bev Zimmerman for the efficient manner
in which she carried out the duties of club librarian, 'a nd also Mervin
Letts for his unflagging interest in the club's activities. Practiceteaching ,t ended to pl'ay havoc with attendance at some practices but
much credit is due the members of the club who were so f'aithful.
I, for my part, am grateful fo'r the experience of working with the
club members and hope that the foundations which have been laid
this year become the basis fora flourishing Glee Club at the college.
David Wilson, Convenor 1959-60.

ARMS OF BRANDON COLLEGE
From the earliest 'ages man has used distinguishing symbO'ls to' represent his tribe Qr natiQn,
his family or clan. The classicall poets tell us of the devices bQrne Qn the shields Qf herQes . The
standards Qf the tribes Qf Israel bQre f~gures devised frQm the prQphecy Qf JacQb. J;he Hve-clawed
dragQn .of the Chinese empire, the chrysanthem urn Qf the MikadO' are very ancient slymbols. The
tQtems Qf the ,p rimitive peQple may be regarded as fQrerunners Qf the medi-aeval coat of arms.
Heraldry, the ar,t Qr science .of armorial be arings, arQse in Europe in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. In battle Qne gallO'ping knight was !<ike anQther. Leaders ,saw the advantage Qf
decoQrating shield and 'banner sO' that they might be recngnized amidst the uprQar and cQnfusiQn
O'f the fight. SymbQls were displayed Qn the knight's shie1
l d,on his surcQat Qlr "OQ1at Qf Arms", .on
his hanner Qr pennQn, Qn the trapper nr cQat Qf his horse, and even on the peaks Qf the hQrse's
saddle.
The custQm O'f seaJling deeds and charters had further influence Qn the develQpment of heraldry. In this way citizens and men of peace, women and clerks, cities and tQwns, cQrpnratiQns
and colleges ,all came to' share the use Qf armorial bearings.
Hera;l dry It hus grew to" be an exact and oompliicated art Qr s'Cience, with ramifica'tions in art,
architecture, la'w, histQry and genealogy. Men wrQte bO'nks albQut heraMry, spent their lives in a
study of its histQry, :applicatiQn, and meaning. Arms in marible, WQQd, and brass adorned the
hQuses Qf the living and the dead; they were embrQidered in taJpestr,ies and garments, painted Qn
the satls IOf ships and Qn carriage dOQrs, and nglJreci upon dishes, 'c halkes, fllagnns , sPQQns, and
e'v ery kind 'Qif gQld and siher work In the fantastic magnifkence of the tQurnament heraldry rQse
to its greatest glory
TQday heraldry is a subject fascinating alike to' the student Qf art, law, his,tQ'r y, literature
Qr sociQl1ogy, and to' the painter Qr craftsman whO' desires to' illustrate the iaeas and aims 'of mankind. The ramif'katiQns Qf heraldry are endless, but its ,laws are exad. A coat .of arms if 1t is to'
be cQrrect, must be as carefully designed and bodied fQrth as any Qther true WQrk of art.
Within a Ib rief space it is impQsslible to' men tion e'Ven a tithe Qf the rUiles necessary toO understand herwldry as a science. HQwever, a few princilples may be indicated.
The different palr ts 'Of aCQat nf arms are as follQws:
1. The shield.
2. The helmet-By the positiQn of the helmet the rank Qf the wearer was indicated.
3. The crest- This Qr,i ginated in the symbQl bQrne uPQn his helmet by the knight in battle.
4.

The tQrse~This is the twisted band or wrealt h by which the crest is jQined to' the he,lmet.

It was Qriginally .of silk, twisted with Qne, twO', or three cQIQurs.

5. The mantle-This is the hanging clQth attached to' the tQP of the helmet below the crest.
The mantle Qriginated amQng , the Crusaders as a prQtectiQn fQr the steell heJrmet frQm the rays
of the Eastem sun. Later the edges Qf the mantle were s~itted and flQurished out Qn either side
of the helm, becoming the delight Qf the painter of armQries and the seal engraver.
6. The supPQrters- There were the animals .or other figures standing Qn each side Qf the
shield, such as the liQn and the unicQrn nf the RQyal Arms. SupPQrters were as a rule only used
by kings and pemQns nf rank.
7. The mQttQ- This coQnsists of the WQ,r ds painted Qn a scrQll beneath the shield. The mQtto
finds its origin in the 'b attle cry of the knight as he rQde intO' combat, or lin the cryptic sentence
having special meaning to' its Qriginal user.
FrQm the early day BrandQn College had a crest and mQttQ. In 1948 a cQmmittee was apPQinted, replfesenting the BQard Qf DirectQrs, Faculty, Alumni and Students, under the chairmanship 0''£ Dr. Evans, its purPQse being to' design and approve a cnat of arms fQr BrandQn CQllege.
The committee 'c arried out 'its wQrk, and the heraldic artist, Mr. A. SCQtt Ca'fter, was engaged to'
pi:dnt the cQat Qf arms as designed. Thus the arms Qf BrandQn CQllege came intO' being.
I

The correct blazoning Qf the arms is as fQllQws:
Argent, Qn a chevrQn azure an antique lamp Qr between in chief twO' open books, and in base
a garb, 'all ppr.

ARMS OF BRANDON COLLEGE (Continued)
Crest-A Phoenix sable, armed gUiles, issuant from flames of fire ppr.
In ibla:wning, that is desonibed the field, one mentions first the colour of the shield as a
whole, which in this case is Argent, that is, silver, or white.
Next one describes the charges, that is the devices or symbols placed upon the' shield. The
Ordinaries are certain convenHonal figures commonly charged upon shields.
The Chevron is an Ordinary whose form is explained by its name. Chevron means a ba'r
bent ltke two meeting rafters, the word being derived from the Latin caper, a goat.
The Chevron in our coat of arms is Azure, that is blue.
Charged upon the Chevron is an Antique Lamp, the colour being Or, that is gold.
The Chief is the upper part of the shield, and the Base is the lower paflt.
The Chevron is between in Chief two Open Books, and in Base a Garb.
The Garb is a wheat-sheaf, from the Old Northern French garbe.
The two Open Books, and the Gaflb are all proper, that is, in their proper or natural colours, and in any of the conventional tinctures.
The Crest lis a Phoenix. This is a mythical bird fahled to be the only 'One of its kind, and to
live five or six hundred years in the Arabian desert, after which it burnt itself to ashes 'On a
funeral pile and emerged f'r om its ashes with renewed youth, to live through 'a nother cycle of
years.
The Phoenix is Sable, that is black.
The Phoenix is Armed Gules, that is its beak and tongue are Gules, that is red.
The Phoenix issues from the Flames of Fire, signifying the old legend.
The Flames themselrves are Proper, that is in their proper or natural colour.
The Motto is-Aletheuontes de en agape-"Speaking the truth (as opposed to error) in love."
The most import'a nt aspeot of the Coat of Arms of Brandon College is its symbolic meaning.
The Antique Lamp represents the Light of Spiritual Truth.
The two Open Books represent the Learning and the Arts of Mankind.
The Garb or Wheatsheaf represents the material blessings which God has g,iven us, in both
body and estate.
Thus the Coat of Arms represents to us the threefold nature of man, spirituall, mental, and
physical, crowned with the bl~ssing of renewed youth or everlasting life.
As Milton puts it-"The end then of learning ris to repair the ruins oil' our first parents by
regaining to know God ar,ight, and out of that knowledge to love him, to imitate him, to be like
him . . . . I call therefore a complete and generous education, that which fits a man to perform
justly, skilfulLy, and magnanimously aU the offices, both private and public, peace and war."

ATHLET!,C BOARD
Athletics a,gain tbis year, played a major role in College activities, ,i n team and individual
sports. Under the capable management ) of Dick MeDona1d, and with the co-operation of the
Boa'r d members, the fundions of organizing and creating interest in Athletics were efficiently
carried thl'iough.
Among the major sports, f.ootball suffered a setbaok due to perverse weather conditions.
Only one 'game was played before hearvy snow made more football limpossible and aU other engagements were cancelled. However, the Board is looking f:orward to a full sehedule of games
next year and a ,chance to humble the Notre Dame Hounds for a second time.
For the second consecutive yea,r, the Caps hockey tea:m under the discerning eye of coach
Doug Glark, gained recognition with second place in the South-West Hockey League. Due to the
full schedule 'of games, the finails had to be cancei1led, but early in the se'ason, the first place
Pierson Bruins wel'e held to a tie by the Caps, who would have been strong contenders for the
championship crown ~ Student interest in hockey was sparked by a Popularity Contest and a "Ron
BO'r:otsiilk Night" under the auspices of the Publicity Board, and the Expansion Fund hockey game
played against the local junior club, the Wheat Kings, aided the financial cause for the Student
Expansion Fund.
The basketball team suffered a somewhat disappointing season due to lack of practising facilities, hut through the untiring efforts of Captain Dave Hitchins, and Coach, Dr. Laskin, the
team spirit heM together. Several new ventures were undertaken when the team travelled to Saskatoon and Regina where theiT oPPoSlii1on was the Saskatoon Pups, Regina College, and Saskatchewan Teachers College. The Capettes, coached by Glladwyn Scott, displayed promising talent
and provided keen competition for their opponents. The basketball and volleyball tournament with
Manitoba Teachers College pwved to be 'a success,alnd as they expl'essed their desire to continue
the home-and-home series, the Athletic Board is planning on looking into the possibilities of volleyball next year.
College spirit was personified in the twelve cheerleaders who faithfully attended all the
events of the heavy a'thtietic program and cheered the team ".on to Victory." Appreciation is
extended to them, and their coach, Murray Bailey, f.or their undying support.
Inoreased participation and organization by the managers of the minor sports of euTiling and
bowling, contributed to their success. Swimming at the Y.M .C.A. was supported strongly by T.T.C.
gir'ls and it was found advisable to discontinue it eady in se,cond teJ:im becaJUse of practice teaching. Softba1l couldn't be played off due to rain and snow, but the sun shone for the golf tournament w~th Dawne Wellman and Ron Smith carrying away the honours. The coveted Sparks Trophy
for the greatest aggregate of points in curling, bowling, and softbal,l became the prQud possessiQn
of Class '62.
Track and Field Day he'ld in late September again gave Olass '62 an opPQrtunity to' display
their superior prowess and ski1l, as they emerged 'victorious with the Faculty Cup. Individual honours went to Galil Summerville '62 and Bob Simmons '60 who had won the distinctiQn for the secQndcQnsecutive year.
The members of the Board during the 1959-60 year were: Mana,ger, Dick McDonald; student
managers: Foo~ball, Gary Prior; Hockey, Warren McKinnon; Basketball, Dave Hitchins; Ourling,
Fred McIntQsh; BowHng, Gary Campbell and Rae Westcott; Senior and Lady Stick, BQb and Regina;
Ladies AthleUc Representative, Linda Peden; Cheerileading Representative, Donna McDQnald; Crests
and Awards Board Rpre,sentative, Murra<y Smith; Publicity Board Repr<esentative, Murr,ay BaHey;
Secretary~Treasurer, Penny Smith. Sincere appreciation is expressed to our faculty advisors, Dr.
Laskin and Mr. Hannah for their assistance and adVlice, and best wishes are extended to' the BQard
and its manager, CarQle Griffith, fQr 1960-61.

FOOTBALL
Due to inclement weather conditions, the football season
of 1959 was curtailed. The only game that the College Caps
participated in was against the Daniel MacIntyre Maroons.
The Caps were edged ·o ut in a tough defensive battle by
a score of 13 to 8.
Although the football season was disappointing, this
year's team had unlimited potentialities and was expected
to surpass last year's excellent reco'rd. Under the capable
handling of Coach Pat Krescy, and his ,a ssistant, Bob Simmons, this team consisted of many veterans and a number
of promising freshies who combiJned to form a well balanced aggregation.
Unfortunately the College Caps were unable to participate in their annual game with Saskatchewan's Notre
Dame Hounds and the vengeful encounter with Landmark.
Perhaps these teams were very fortunate that "Old Man
Winter" . hit with such a devastating blow.
Many thanks are extended t'o Prof. Hannah who was
on hand to offer first aid and encouragement. To Pat
Krescy and the football team, all one can say is - "Wait
till next year! "
Doug Reynolds '62

SOFTBALL
The ump yelled "Play Ball" and another Brandon College Softball Tournament was underway. In the boys tournament, the class of "62" went crashing to defeat at the
hand of "61" .
The jauntily clad members 'Of "60" were at the same
time polishing off the the class of "63" . Third and Fourth
Year clashed in a real thriller, but the Fourth Year boys
came through to victory.
The weather man prevented the girls from having their
competition.
Congratulations to the sports-minded class of "60" .

BASKETBALL'

This year basketballl started off with a roa'r -and a slump. As the
season drew to a close the Caps' record was mther disheartening, 9 losses
and no victories. Victory is sweet, I'm told, Ib ut it is not the important
thiIllg in Iplaying the game. The Caps did their best in a losing struggle
and stuck it out tOo the hitter end. The schedule was one of the best in
recent years and local fans had a great chance to see some topnotch teams
in action..
As the saying goes, "Wait till next year" . The situatiQon looks much
brighter and if the Caps come up against the same olubs, Brandon College
should be real competitors in 'll! good class of basketJball.
The boys learned much and got a great deal out of their relations
with ManitQoba and Saskatchewan Tea,c hers' Col,lege, Re,gina CoUege and
the UniveTsity of Saskatchewan. The mad trips were very successful in
all respects, e~cept the s'cores but the Caps went down fighting.
With the help of coach, Gladwyn Scott, the 1959-60 basketball season
was a successful one for the Brandon College Capettes. A thr,ee game
series was played against St. Michaels. The Capettes won -the first game
quite handily as Pat Breen showed her former classmates she was still
a basketibahl star. A loss in the second for'ced them to play a third and
regain their honour.
They defe·a ted the Brandon Collegiate team in two afternoon practices.
A home and home series was played with the Manitoba Teachers' College. The Capettes were defeated in Winntpeg !by six points and back in
Brandon they were one point up with two seconds left in the game when
a M.T.C. girl was fouled and given two free shots. Unfortunately for the
Capettes, she made them.
Members Qof the Oapettes team were : Pat Breen and Carole Griffith,
co-captains, Gail Foster, Lorraine Oscar, Gloria Smith, Linda Peden, Sharon
Quinn, Rosa'lie Yauch, Florence English and Evelyn Mathison.
They would like to thank Gladwyn Scott and his assistant Dave Hitchins for their efforts through the year and also the B.C.S.A. for providing
them with new uniforms and supporting them.

HOCKEY

The College Caps hockey team has just complBteda very successful season under the 'c apable
hock ey manager, Warren McKinnon. The Caps
played a total of 22 games, winning 14, losing 5,
and tying 3.
The tea m ended up in se00nd place in the South
West ern League, behind Pierson Bruins" the league's
perennial leaders. The Caps e1imin,a ted Boissevain
in the league play-offs, tw,o games to 'One, but had
to forfeit t>he final series to Pierson, because of
lack ,of time b efore final exams.
The highlight of the year's play was the game
in which the Ca'ps took on the newly crowned
Manitoba Junior Hockey League champs, Brandon
Whe,at Kings. The Caps extended the Kings to the
limi t before bowing 4-2 in a well played, closely
fought game.
The Caps played a two game series with their
old rivaIs from the Western Intercollegiate Hockey
League, ,t he University Bison'S. Ea,c h team won a
game , t he first 3-2 by the il3isons in Winni,p eg and
the Caps the second 7·3 at Virden. This hockey
was quite 'c rowd-pleasing and ,a lso proved that the
Caps would not be outclassed playing against larger
Universities such as Saskatchewan and Alberta.
Congratulations should be extended to Coach
Doug Clark , trainer Doc. Hannah, as well as the
team and the r est who made the year so successf ul.
All that was lacking was more spectators at
home games; maybe next year!

M--Iv ;n Event Winners

Armstrong Event Winners

Inter-Year Boys

Inter-Year Girls

Curling in Brandon College has come to an end for another year. As
we look back over the games, some lost, some won, we Temember the gang
that made up our rink, and the good times we had. Ferhaps we didn't Wrin
all our games hut we tried, and when we lost, it was to 'clI better team and
this was readily acknowledged. We remember the time we were down
coming home with the decision of the game resting on our last rock. The
days we couldn't make a rock to save our souls, all are memories now
but ones which make Me just a !l ittle more enjoyable when we gather
together to reminisce about old times .
Inter-year curling, the competition between repr,e sentatives of the
various classes again provided some eX'cellent ·curling. The Class of '60, in
their last chance to gain curling honours won the boys' division, whrile
the ladies' division, the Class of '62 were the ~bri.l]gers of glory to their
class.
The regular 's'Piel played in the last week of F,e bruary was won by
"Dad" Fotheringham and his rink. The Melvin Trophy, symbolizing the
victory in the senior stick event, was presented to "Dad" and his rink at
Color Nite . The secondary event, the Armstrong, was won by Gary Gorden
and his rink.
Thus with a~l the bonspiels over, and the trophies presented, curling
com es to an end for another year.

GOLF TOURNAMENT

Boys' Inter-Year
One hundred and sixteen

On Friday at four-thiI1ty, October second, nearly
sixty golfers teed <off at the City Golf ,course for the
annual Brandon CoHege g,olf tournament. Unlike other
ye,a rs , the weather was cool and dry, and some good
scores were turned in.
The teams each ,consisted of a boy and g.irl who
played only <one ball. This, as can be imagined, caused
considerable confusion. Although golf dubs were scarce
the,s e enthusiastic golfers managed ,to slice and sometimes k,i ck the golf ball around the nine holes . Unfortunately darkness brought the to urnament to an
end sooner than expected.
The weiner roast immediately after was appreciated
by the hungry golfe-rs.
Prizes were awarded to Dawn Wellman and Ron
Smith who combined to turn in t he top score of 46.
Our congratulations to you both.
Many thanks t o Barry ElIw,Qod and Gerald Butler
who helped to make the tournament the success it was.

,CHEERLEADERS

composed of 12 members, but later
depleted to 9 hard a Ibusy and active
season, despite the fact that there was
but one football game.
Second ' term activities included
cheering at hOClkey ·a nd basketball
games, and a publicity parade as well
as the acquisHion of new skirts, made
by the cheerleaders themse'}ves. Practices were held weekly in the lounge
on Saturday afternoons to accommodate confli>Ciing schedules.
Murray Bailey, aided and a1betted by
head cheefilearder, Donna McDonald,

F'RESHIE WEEK
Looks of anxiety, trepidation, and ex:pectation were mdrrored 'on the faces of the Freshie populahon, 1959, as they
awaited the commencement of the unknown-Freshie Week.
On Wednesday night, a get-acquainted reception was held
at Earl Oxf.ord Auditorium , unde,r the ca1pable co-conrvenorship
of Nona Malyon and Clark M1tchell. The 60th Anniversary
theme was explai ned, and games, singing, cheerleader demon"
stratJion, an interview with two typical Freshies by Bill Evans
(although it is debatable wh'o was more embarrassed) as well
as dancing rounded out the evening.
The Scat Tests seem to have become 'a routine for Freshie
Week and were held on Thursday and part of Friday this year.
On T,h ursday afternoon, q Scavenger Hunt was held. This was
the first opportunity for the Freshies to wear their old-4'aSlhionedcostumes. In this field the new students went aliI out for
the theme.
Earl Oxf ord once again played host to our activities on
Thursday night. This time it was the Royalty Contest, and as
usual the judges were hard-pressed to pi'ck just six from such
a display. "Wrap them up, I'll take them all" was an apt senti·
ment. After considerable deliberation, Elma Massin and Srian
Foster were chosen ,a s Queen and King. Pat Breen, Cathy
O'Brien, Jim Parres and George' Trowell r,o unded 'o ut the
Freshie Royalty. Anne Lane and Dave Hitchins were in charge
of arran:g ements.
The duties of the various boards of the Student Association
were ,o utlined ,by the Board Managers during Student orientation on Friday ,a fternoon. The remainder of the afternoon was
devoted to that old-time standby of fun and games known as
" Outdo'o r Spo'r ts". Freshman students roHicked through numerous fe,a ts such as fo,o tball and relays, and were finally led t o
the "mud 'p it", where the advantages 'of good costumes and retiring personalities were clearly evident, although e,v en these
weap,ons were not ,infaHilYle. Those Freshies not in wet costumes and bad tempers were allowed to complete the afternoon
doing odd jobs and pleasant little tasks for the seniors.
Friday evening took the ,f orm of ,a Pep ,R ally under the
direction of George Peary. After singing and performing for
I!he seni.ors, the Freshies were only t oo anxious to trot around
with hot dogs and drinks, ,o r to carry the sen iors over to. the
stadium where a dance was held under the lights 0110 the lawn
-a very enjoyable innovation.
The day nf the big parade dawned in that all too familiar
B.C. Freshie Week manner, but the threat of rain was not
carried out. Penny Smith and Gary Prior kept their Freshie
committees, as well as the ,buyer, Pat Stanley, ·on the run. The
theme of the 60th Anniversary of Brandon CoHege was carried
through, even to the ,a cquisition of old cars f or the occasion.
The many anx,i ous hours of planning and preparation paid off
in one ,of t he ,b est parades ever produced by the college.
Wearily the Frosh gathered in the Chapel to be sworn in
as oiificial members of the E.C .,S.A. Apples were thrown by
Dr. Perdue, and all the new stude110ts eagerly posed for the
Brandon Sun pho'tos, which proved to be' soine,w hat of a disappointment as they were greeted by buckets of cold water
from above.
The Frosh Frolic brought a fitting end to an exhausting
round of ,a ctivities for both Fresh'i es and Seniors. We hope the
Freshie Week served its purpose of intr,o ducing the new students to College life, and congratulate them on their fine spirit
and active participation shown tJhroughout the week.

FROSH FROLIC
The annu·a l Frosh Frolic, held on Saturday,
September 1.9, in the CmUlposite High School
Auditorium, climaxed a week of tumultuous
activ,i ty fDr our Freshie crop. It offered them
the first chance to discard their old-<fashioned
finery and return to the twentieth century.
A reception line consisting of the Senior
Stick, Bob Melvin; the Lady Stick, Regina
Armstrong; the Dean of Women , Mrs. Cowan;
the Residence Master, Jack ·Fotheringham, and
the chaperones for the evening, Dr. 'a nd Mrs.
Perdue, and Mr. and Mrs. D. R. MacKay,
greeted the large and enthus,i astic crowd.
The gala event was begun with the traditional "Blue and Gold Maroh" , led by Dr.
and Mrs. Perdue . This was fol<1owed by the
solemn but impressive coronation od' the
Freshie Royalty, Elma Massin and Brian Foster, by our acting President, Dr. Perdue. Dancing then continued to the varied and enjoyable
music 'p rovided by the Brandon Syncopators.
The proud possessors the lucky tickets---'Gary
Martin and Jean Yeo-----'had the honor of dancing with the Freshie monarchs.
Lunch was served at 10 p.m. and was immediately followed by the long awaited, muoh
anticipated, trial of several deserving Frosh.
We were at once transported to the Roman
Empire and the court of the notorious Nero ,
who confr:onted the 'b arbarian Frosh with their
offences and sentenced them to punishment
fitting to their ,r ank and behaviour.
The festive mood of the evening was enhanced by the carousel-like decor od' the Auditorium. Thanks go to Myra Johnston and crew
for their time and effort.
An innovation of the evening was the mysterious "Osculator" machine . I'm sure any{)ne
taking the test was fully rewarded by the
results.
The evening was concluded in t he traditional
manner with "Hail Our .oollege" a,nd the various -class yens, not to mentiDn the destruction
of streamers.
I would like to thank my Co-coillvenor, Merv
Letts, who so capa,b ly acted as master .of ceremonies' and who literally "kept the show on
the road."
Merv joins me in thanking all our helipers
who contributed so much to the success of
the evening. A spedal mention must be given
to the Sigma Mu, and to Anne Lane .alIld Dave
Hitchins, who were responsible fo r the Coronation and Trial, respectively. We also extend our thanks t'O our chaperones and patrons , Mr. and Mrs. MacKay and Dr. and Mrs.
Perdue for their k'i nd co"operation.

CLASS OF '60 PARTY
On Tuesday, November 23, 1959, it was
mild ,but snowing slightly, when the grand
and glorious class of '60 gathered for its first
olass party of the year. We journeyed to Minnedosa, where we were 'greeted very cordially
by our hosts. We then sat down to a bountiful meal of spare-ribs, with strawberry shortcake for dessert.
After Bob finished his fourth serving, we
left. Upon arriving back in Brandon we adjourned to the Hut to watch TV and to dance.
The dance was made open to all College
students with preference being given to students of the fairer sex of which our class has
a minority.
Many thanks for a most enjoyable evening,
are extended to BO'b Simmons, our social convenor, John Lockie, our class president, and
to Mr. and Mrs . Thordarson, who acted as our
chaperones.

CLASS OF '61 PARTY
On October 22, the dauntless members of
the illustrious class of '61 braved snow and
sleet to attend the fowl supper at Basswood.
After a sumptuous meal, the class most graciously fulfiLled the request of the Basswoodites -by vocalizing the college song and the
class yeLl. The vocalizing continued in a more
pronounced form on the bus trip home.
The evening was brought to a most enjoyable ·conclusion with an invigorating dance
in the "Hut". Such innovations as the onion
dance and the Mexican Hat dance added spice
to the evening. Lunch was ' served for those
who had any vacancy left after the sUipper.
Social convenors Ruth -Brown and Bob Coleman are to be commended on producing one
of the Ib est parties the class of '61 has ever
experienced.

CLASS OF '62 PARTY
On Wednesday, October 14, 1959, the class
O'f '62, lar gest class in Brandon College, he·l d
their annual class party in the form of a dinner and dance. Three chartered buses left the
One hundred and t w enty-tw o

College for Hamiota at 5 p.m., f~hled with exuberant '62 members, the College Combo, and
Dr. and Mrs. Laskin as chaperones. Despite
the abundance of snow on the roads and a
snow plow that had to be moved, we finally
arrived at the Hamiota School.
After we had assembled in the school auditorium, and Ron Keeler, class president, had
restored order, Don Axford asked the blessing. Then the Ladies' Auxiliary of the Canadian Legion, Hamiota, proceeded to serve a
delicious repast of baked ham, and scalloped
potatoes with all the trimmings. Several toasts
were given. Ron thanked the ladies for the
lovely dinner and a hearty round of applause
supported him.
While the auditorium was being cleared
and the girls were making "minor repairs",
the College Combo began to prepare for their
role in attending our class party. For the
next several hours, we danced to the smooth
and liveJy strains of the college orchestra.
At the end of our dance, we sang "Hail Our
College", and gave the yells of '62, Arts and
Science, in order of their importance.
With regrets but with ·c herished memories
of a highly successfiul party, we boarded the
buses for the all too short trip home.
Before we had time to think twice, Brandon
College loomed up in the darkness. 11he Clark
Hall girls were in on time!
A vote of thanks is in order for those who
made the '62 party such an overwhelming
suocess. The members of the class wilJ never
forget that evening.

CLASS OF '63 PARTY
The class of '63 held its first birthday party
in the form of a fowl supper at Alexander.
After meeting at the CoHege we moved "en '
masse" to Alexander UnIted Church where
the Ladies' Auxiliary served a delicious dinner. Gerald Butler, class president, was M.C.
After an inspiring pep talk by Rah Rah
Rogers, better known as Mr. Hannah, Honorary President of the Class of '63, we returned
to the Hut for a dance to the music of the
College CO'mbo.
Many thanks go to LesHe Findlay and Dave
Bergman, our capahle social convenors.

VAUDEVILLE VALSE
•
Snow creates a problem, but Brandon College is
never daunted by inclement weather. In lieu of the
Notre Dame football reception, and in order to raise
money for the Brandon College Expansion Fund, the
Main Executive decided to hold a special extraiVaganza
on October 17th.
And extravaganza was the word for it!! Vaudeville
) Valse was highlighted by a fast moving program Jeunesses Ridiculi, the Nudeniiks, and the Ginger Ale
lady, along with other performers, provided scintillating
entertainment. Of special note was the effervescent M.C.
of the hour-long spectacle.
Lunch was indeed a fine repast-an old idea centered in a new arrangement. This dance served delicious
chocolate slice and ice cream, supplemented by soft
drinks.
The motif of the decorations was pin-up girls and
perky hats. Eileen W1ghtman of '62 is to be congratulated
for a masterful job.
To the overall convenors, Carole Griffith and Wayne
Kirbyson, this writer tips her hat for one of the best
dances of the year. Of course we cannot finish this coverage without mentioning how eye-appealing the men in
our college found our first feminine M.C., Janet Mooney.
Thanks for a new approach, gang.

ARMED FORCES DANCE
The Armed Forces dance on Saturday, January 9, proved to be a
rousing opening of second term activities. Held in the H-Hut, it was one
of the most original dances of the year.
Soft lights, gala streamers and murals, not to mention the silhouettes
and photos arranged on the walls, appropriately created the atmospher e
of the Officers' Mess. It was amazing to think that only that morning these
inviting rooms had been our classrooms.
The lunch was superb, to say the least. It was held in the form of a
smorgasbord, and there was more than ample food for all. I'm still wondering who stole my olives, but it wasn't too hard to trace my pepperoni!
Another original feature was the games room, where one could challenge a weary dancing partner to a game of checkers, darts, or any of the
various other games provided.
Members of the Regina and St. Michael's basketball teams were present,
adding a bit of variety to the male stag line and the female populous.
Thanks are extended to the chaperones for the evening, Prof. and Mrs.
Hannah and Mr. and Mrs. MacKay.
This very enjoya'ble dance set a hrgh standard for the functions remaining in the social year.

VALENTINE DANCE
The annual Valentine's dance of Brandon College, sponsored by the
T.T.C., was held at the "Aggie" School on Friday, February 12.
The "Sweetheart's Serenade" was an excellent effort, with novel decorations to suit the occasion-a Valentine "tree" and Valentine-faced caricatures.
For lunch, generous servings of chocolate ca:ke and ice cream, along
with cokes, were featured.
Jean Templeton, a competent M.C., introduced the entertainment.
Here we saw a skit "On the Farm", and listened to the Wallflowers' r endition of "There's Nothing Like a Guy."
The question of whether a girl should "pop the question" to a man
during Leap Year was approached by Margaret Robinson in the course
of her monologue.
Dennis Cameron's Lucky Star game aroused a great deal of interest
and some of the participants walked away with some really big prizes!
Dancing was resumed after the entertainment, to the music of Roy
Brown's Orchestra.

COTTON BALL
We did it, girls! Everyone-yes, even the Sigma-Muers-agreed that the Cotton Ball on Friday, November 13, was ·a tremendous success .

•

The dance was held at the Composite High Auditorium. Setting the pace for the evening was
our amiable mistress of ceremonies, Pat Breen, who interspersed her own lively comments between dances.
Adding their usual smooth, rhythmic strains to the evening were the ever-enjoyable "College
Combo" who, like the proverbial cheese, improve with age.
Also worthy of note were the fitting decorations which provided the setting of the colorful
"Deep South" . Credit for them goes to Florence English and her committee.
Corsages, too, were designed to fit the theme. Cecilia Andreychuk's hard work and ingenuity were rewarded when Bob Coleman won the first prize.
The lunch, as was aptly described by one of the faculty members was the "best served at
any College function yet. " "Who wouldn't enjoy southern fried chicken with all the trimmings,"
said Lynne Webster, (in command of the lunch committee).
Another feature of the evening was the sparkling entertainment. The girls presented a skit
"Father Ham's Home for Wayward Boys"-in it depicting some typical scenes and inmates of
residence life. Performing intricate steps and high kicks were the eye-opening chorus girls.
The success of this evening must be accredited to the Co-Ed's hard-woI1king, efficient social
convenor, Penny Smith, who with the co-operation of all concerned, produced such a "smashing"
dance.

BEATNI,K BRAWL
The curtains on the bedroom door parted and the deep seclusion of Aggie's Pad was revealed to us on Friday, October 30. Mattresses strewn appropriately around the floor were put
to the test by a very gregarious student body. Sigma Mu outdid its own past glories and certainly placed a 'burden on the Co-Ed Sorority to try to match such a dance.
The dreamy music of the College Combo wafted through those curtains as the students ambled
up to the Aggie School. The group played one of their best dances, especially when they departed from the usual and played a polka.
A certain member of the faculty outdid all conventions and appeared as the typical absent minded professor, much to the amusement of everyone attending.
The lunch of southern fried shrimp and turkey was supplemented by gallons of root beer.
Jim Bower and Dave Hitchins stimulated the fraternity into this different style of presentation.
Bill Evans and his ambitious committee did a creditable job on the "History of the Beats".
From prehistoric man to the monologue "Ah Well! What the Hell", the program proceeded without a hitch.
M.C. , George "Crunchie" Young, kept things moving with his. rapid patter and choice quips.
Special mention · must go to John Chudzik and his noble crew who worked hard on the
decorations to fit the theme.
Prizes for the best costumes were won by Jean Washington, the wind-swept beat from Squaresville, and John Lockie, the green-eyed man from Mars.
All in all, it was one of the best evenings of the year, and not one complaint was heard
about it. Thank you, Sigma Mu.

ELECTION WEEK
The third week in January was a "lost" one for even
the most serious of college students. The occasion? Student elections.
Although two offices were fiUed by acclamation Manager of Athletic Board, Carole Griffith; Manager of Literary Board, Hugh Halliday - five other offices remained
to be decided when the polls opened on January 22 .
Election wheels started turning on Monday, January
18, when formal nominations were made in the chapel.
Officially, campaigns began on Tuesday night as groups
of inspired students banded together to employ their artistic
talent in support of their favorite candidates. From these
various "camps" emerged numerous 'original name-tags and
posters.
By 10:00 p.m., pandemonium reigned in the Main Hall
as supporters clutched frantical,ly for poster space. Within
half an hour, various forms of election propaganda filled
every available space.
Wednesday the new canteen became the scene of the
Pep Rally, at which entertainment "gimmicks" were employed by the Lady and Senior Stick candidates in an attempt
to influence the unpredictable student body.
These included,Jhe work of the College Combo, an accomplished "Scott" bagpiper, bouncing Highland fling dancers, as well as the versatile "Queenston Trio", the chorus
line, Merv's gambling casino, Bill Clark's impersonations,
George Peary's feats of wrestling against a "Barry" wild
beast, and, oh yes, we must not forget the charming bathing beauties - "Jackie" Matheson and "Waynda" Gurba.
This is just a sample of the items enjoyed by the huge crowd
packed into the very small available space.
By Thursday afternoon, the election fever of the earlier
part of the week was left behind as a subdued crowd gathered in the college chapel to hear the student speeches.
Speakers were earnest and sincere, but the seriousness of
the occasion was offset by the antics of the "honourable"
timekeeper and gong ringer and the diversion caused by
the entrance of a last-minute candidate from Borneo.
Probably, this phase of the whole week is the most
important in the shaping of the voter's decisions.
All in all, election week this year was characterized by
a spirit of co-operation and friendliness, and was termed
a success by everyone

hour.
Considered the highlight of the show was the
mock ballet, starring Jim Hower and Bill Evans as
the "Ballerinas" and Gary Prior and Dave Hitchins
as their partners. Cultural experts attributed Jim's
delicately executed pirouettes to the size 10 running shoes, which appeared to give him solid footing.

Other items on the program were the "Harvard"
boys' glee club, complete with short pants and singing such songs as "Fight Fiercely, Harvard," a parody on the traditional college fight song; a typically
faked wrestling match; Bill Clark as Sherman BeHy,
a "sick" comic; Barry Elwood and Jim Parres singing and playing guitars; Wes IM orden telling stories
about Norway in reasonably authentic dialect; not
to mention Murray Zuk, (alias "Julia Snead"), with
a word from "our alternate, alternate, alternate .
sponsor".
After a satisfying lunch was served, the evening
concluded with the selling of the posters under the
direction of the capable auctioneer, ,F red McIntosh.

FALL FORMAL
The Fall Formal, held at the Composite High
School, Friday, November 27, was as impressive
as usual this year.
Setting the pace for the evening was the
jovial master of ceremonies, Bob Coleman, who
filled any gaps with spicy comments.
Adding smooth, enjoyable strains to ,the
evening was the rhythmic band of Merv Kraeling.
The eye-catching decorations, blue and white
streamers delicately hung from the ceiling to
the walls, created a dreamy effect. Glittering
stars were scattered throughout the auditorium
enhancing the atmosphere . Credit for all this
goes to Elsie Morningstar and her committee.
During the intermission a dainty lunch was
served by waiters in white jackets. A great deal
of work was put into this, as Gail Field and
her committee can well testify.
In one of the novelty dances of the evening,
Cecilia Page and Gary Gordon managed to pick
a "lucky" spot. The last waltz was followed by
"Hail Our College" and the various yells.
A special thanks is extended to Dr. Laskin
and his wife for chaperoning the dance. The
success of this delightful evening is a credit to
the convenors, Ruth Brown and Tom Ross, who
did a wonderful job.

The beautiful curvaceous blonde at the office was
turning on all her desirable charms trying to hook the
new office manager. For the first time in her life she
knew the meaning of defeat as the only answer that she
could get out of him was "I am too shy."
Finally came the annual picnic, and everyone attended
the gala event. The designing little blonde finally managed
to get the handsome office manager away to a very secluded spot and then turned on all her charm. In a few minutes she let out an ex:plosive scream: "Damn! You are too
shy, aren't you?".

VARSITY VARIETIES
Brandon College's first annual Inter-Varsity Night was held on Friday
evening, February 5, in the Earl Oxford School Auditorium. Sponsored by
the Literary Board, the Manager, Mr. Mervyn Letts, '61, gave a few
words of welcome. The Master of Ceremonies, Mr. Don Goodfellow, '61,
then proceeded to introduce the topic and speakers fm the ensuing debate.
Speakers for Notre Dame College, Wilcox, Saskatchewan, were Mr. Ezra
Mhwana, and Mr. Larry Roine, who took the negative, while the delb aters
from Brandon College were Mr. Hugh Halliday and Miss Pat Dodds. The
topic was "Be It Resolved That Canada Should Recognize Red China."
Judges for the de·b ate were Mrs. G. R. Rowe, Mr. J. Blackwood, and Mr. M.
Kavanagh, the latter giving the criticism. The decision was a tie, but the
judges gave preference to th~ speakers, placing them according to their
performances.
Next on the programme came a word from the World Univers-ity Service, WUS, by Miss Bal1bara Fishman, of the University of Manitoba. She
briefly outlined the programme of the WUS which includes a world conference in Israel in 1960, the Treasure Van, and scholarships offered for
foreign study. Best wishes were extended to Brandon College for the latest
venture into WUS.
This was followed by a brief and informative Panel Discussion on
De Gaulle and the French Algerian Policy, with Miss N. Walmsley as commentator. Representing the University of Manitoba were Miss Vee Stern,
Mr. Jack Switzer, and Mr. John Gordon. Brandon College representatives
were Mr. Hugh Halliday, Mr. R(jbert Henault, and Mr. Glen Beck. Professor
Walmsley introduced the subject and kept the discussion running smoothly.
No decision was arrived at by the panelists, as time would permit only
a scratching of the surface of the problem.
Finally we were treated to selections by the newly reorganized Brandon College Glee Club, under the direction of Mr. Humphrey Davies and
accompanied by Mr. David Wilson, '59, on the piano. They favored the
audience with delightful renditions of "It's a Grand Night for Singing",
"Gaudeamus Igitur", and "Sing Hallelujah".
Mr. Goodfellow brought the programme to a close by expressing the
sentiments of all those present tby hoping for a continuation of InterVarsity Night, which would meet with even more success. Miss Sandra
Lowe, '60, was then given charge, with the serving of cokes and jambusters,
which was followed by a dance, to the melodious strains of the College
Combo.
A vote of thanks goes to Mr. Letts, Mr. Goodfellow, Miss Lowe, Miss
Walmsley, and all those who promoted the Inter-Varsity Night. Here is
to greater success in future endeavours in this field.

DO YOU?
He feels compelled to
serve alcoholic drinks

BECAUSE:
It is considered the smart thing to do

The people he goes out with do it
Business interests seem to require it

BUT:
He has doubts about the wisdom of
serving intoxicating drinks
He has seen alcohol cause embarrassment or trouble
He wonders about the long term
consequences of drinking
He knows he could spend his money
to better advantage -

Poor iMary was a worried wife,
She'd just got the report,
That John was ,b ringing home the
boss,
And time was growing short.

How could she cook the dinner ' and
Get prettied up and
change?
Said Alec, ".count on me and
your
New automatic range."

We'll cook the dinner perfectly,
So fast ... so cool ...
· so clean,
And when you go to greet
the hoss,
He'll think , "A perfect
queen."

count on me
