Afler all, what belle,' result can be obtained during the education process Ihan that afforded by Ihe opportunily and privilege of working logelher in goodwill. Ihe pooling of Olll" best judgment and olhel" )'csources to 3 common and ll1utually beneficial end. \\'hat r would like 10 express 10 you, graduales and students alike, is well summed up in Ihe following poem which is as applicable to peace as to war.

E"cl'y one, You Sir. and I. To all. graduates and sludenls. I wish success and happiness. Dr. J. H. C. Evans, President 01 Brandon College. Six and from Dr. A. W. Trueman Il is a great pleasure 1"01" me to have Ihis opportunity of placing a "message" in the current edition of the Brandon College '·Sickle". MilY I first of all extend greetings, as President of the Cniversity of Manitoba, and best wishes 10 the Sickle 1'01' anolher successful year. 111 a general way. I should like to suggest Ihat at no Lime in your hislol'y has thCt,C heen grealer need or the peculiar type of service which Brandon College is able to render to the PI'ovince and 10 the ~aljon. In a "csidential institution which has not grown ocyond the optimulll size there i' an excellent opportunity for a quality of instrllction and association which is Illllch 1110rc difficult to achieve under other circumstances. It is Ilcccssaz''y. of course, for any college to ha\'c adequate physical resOllrces; but men, not buildings and equipment, arc the ultimate desiderata in all schemes or education. A good teaching slaff, with opportunity to know the students well and to have something more than 1'01'lll~ll classroom associatioll wi(h thcm, is in a position to do somcthing vastly more illlpOI'{"lllt than the mere imparting uf facts. 'I'he services which such a staff can render will do Illuch 10 render not only cold scholarship, but character, personality and continuing intellectual interest and activity. 1\lay I extend my earnest hope thaL Brandon College lIIay go 011 from strength to "tl'ellgth, and perronll with all evcr-increasing mcasure of success, the valuahle cducatiollul functions which lie peculiarly wi thill her power.

The visiting team supporting the negative were victorious but the pOOl' support of the venture did not warrant furlher functioning of the group. The pUI'(JOse of the Social Science Club is the study and discussion of practieal applications of the Social Sciences led by a qualified speaker. Emphasis is laid on Philosophy, Psychology, Sociology, Economics. Several visits wel'e made to surrounding institutions 1'01' practical experience. The French Club The Student Christian Movement The Siudent Christian Movement again functioned actively within U,e College during the past year.

The French Club, discontinued dUI'ing the war came back into existence in Ihe past year. The plll'pOSe of the club is to give students an opportunity 10 practice speaking French and to learn more about France and the French people. Various papers were given and films enjoyed.

Many games were played but the finn.! WinIlCI"S, after "sudden death" contests, proved to be Ihe First Year Girls under Mabel Clark. aud the Second Year Boys, "B" team, under Al'l Nicol. The Fi"st Year Girls slarted by defealing the Grade Xli's and IHlShed on to further vielory over the Senior and Secoud Year Girls. Art Nicol's Second Year "B" team was vicloriolls over the First Year Boys and then took on lhe powerful Senior outfit of GOI'(I Daly_ Second "'ea,' squad defealed Ihem in a gmelling nine-inning conlest in which .lack ~tills, pinch hiller for Secoud Year, copped a double in the last half of the ninth with his team two runs in dct-icil. From then on it was Second Year's ball game. Forty-six _ Basketball Brandon College re-opened ils eompetilion with outside collcges this year and met with a fair measure of success. During the first tenn the men's team defealed a squad from \Vinnipeg's United College in a crowd-pleasing contest, the outcome of which was uncertain until the final whistle. Second IeI'm found Brandon playing hosl to Regina College who successfully out-manoeuvred our tealll on the spacious court of the Armoul"'ies. In Ihe relmn gallic al Regina, wilh a change in slyle and the supporl of many alumni. Brandon College gave H very favorable exhibition, but could not malch the play of the highly Irained Regina quintet. Possibilities of games with Saskatoon and Moose Jaw as well as \\Tinnipeg and Regina fOI" the coming season should provide sufficient motive force 10 warrant the building or both u girls' and a men's tcam which would bring Brandon College up to the level of its former repute. In the City League the girls' team, under the guidance of Erie Stinson, gave a eOlllmendable display, but was unable to retain the honors which il captured last year. Although at first it lacked a coach, the Illen's team also made a favorable showing, and after oblaining Ihe services of "Curly" Tyler il proved itself to be a strong contender for the championship. However, wilh the appmaeh of exams il was forced 10 relinquish its play-off berlh and the opporlunily for athletic glory in favor of Ule mundane satisfaction of academic SLiccess.

The top leams from both the first and second hah'es of the bowling met in the semi-finals. The captains of Ihose teams were Mel. Putnam, Norm. McLeod, Bob Byron and .Iim Kelleher. McLeod's team of Yvonne Arseoll, Jack Dickson, Don Day, and Opal Atkinson were the eventual victors. Some very commendable records were made in the bowling this year. The top team lotal for one game went to Kelleher's team with 110-1. The lop men's average was ~. ~lcLeod's of 212 and the top woman"s average was V. Zwol'on's of 170.

They are mosl concerned with the facl IhaL Lhe magazine was no! in their hands soonel'. It is a natul'al question. \Ve, too, were rather concerned. Foul' 1110nths is a long way off schedule. Pcrhaps 100 long. But then wc began to weigh the facts in hand. Whal purpose does Ihc "Sickle" scrve? Surcly ils effccts are broad enough Ihal a short delay in publication will nuL delract fl'ol11 iL~ cumulative yalue. But how does Olle apl,roach thc problem of valuing a collegiate publication"? Why does anyone buy a "Sickle" in the first placc·} I-Jere we stumblcd. Not bccausc there are no J'easons but hecause there are too many reasons. There is the immediate value; one of entel'lainment. This is why we are mcl wilh reproachful glances when we try 10 explain U,e delay in publication. Thc people wish to tHy IIHnds on a "Sickle" and review the activilies of the ycar; look on thc porlraits of Iheir class-mates before they forgel them. But this is far overshadowed by another and far more important valuc. To meel it wc should hope that the activities and faces of the lerm gone by are forgo lien. The second value of the "Sicklc" lies in recalling forgolten evenls and persons and this value cannot be fully determined unlil the years have erased the 19-16--17 term at Brandon College from Ihe memory_ Some day this "Sickle" will be apprcciated far more than il could be loday. Let us know in twcnly years if the short delay now is important.

Fifty-four THE SICKLE '47 The sludenls of Bmndon College this year were proud to add to the memoir of literary functions Ihe presentation of two delightful one-act comedies, "The ~Iaestro" and "The Rainmakcr". The purpose of bringing these particular plays before the public was to show thaI the works of Canadian authors can now be placed along side those of English 0'· American wrilers. They portray two very different yet very Canadian aspecls of life. "The Maestm" by Elsie Park Gowan depicled some of the trials of the director of a Music School. The casl eonsisled of Bill Anderson, Lois Lamont, Nesler Weselowsld, Ivan Rainey, Helen McKay and .June \Valker. 'The Rainmaker" by Gwen Pharis portrayed the alii tude of Alberta farmers during the drought of 1921. There were :JO in the cast, the main parts being taken by Florence Lyons, l,eilh Pellapiece, Hoy Bmwn, Lloyd Henderson and Lome McCulloch.

The plays were directed by Mrs. William Bonnis and Mrs. Dorothy Kitchen, and Mrs. Kay Rowe acted as dramatic advisor.
