With the successful publication of this yearbook, the student year has reached it~ grand
finale. We hope that the students will appreciate
and approve the innovations incorporated in this
edition. It will, of course, be noted that the general theme of this yearbook is the 75th Anniversary of Brandon, since this is used from cover to
cover.
A yearbook is never published by individuals;
it is the combined effort and work of many. Thus,
we wish to thank all the students and members
of the faculty who willingly aided in any manner
in the publication of the Sickle. The time and the
effort has been very great indeed. Enumerating
the workers is difficult. A special thanks must go
to our section editors, photographers, and typists.
Many of the special innovations have been due
to the ideas and hard work of our printer. A sincere thank you to Mr. J. Ellison and Mr. B. Hawking
at the Sun Printing Company.
We hope that this edition and the year's activities, presented herein will be treasured in years
to come.

STICKS MESSAGE

.As our 1956-57 edition of the Sickle is about to be printed,
we realize that the academic year is fast drawing to a close,
and we are grateful for this final opportunity to say a "thanks"
and a "farewell" to Brandon College and its students.
It is difficult to put in a few words what we feel in our
hearts as we prepare to leave our college home to which we
have become so closely attached. The co-operation, enthusiasm,
and friendliness of the students in all that we have endeavoured has been outstanding. As a student body, we have worked
and played together, have known both satisfaction and discouragement, and yet through it all we have gained in understanding, that which might better prepare us to make our way
in the world. Through the efforts of the students and faculty,
the fine traditions of our college have been carried out, with
the inevitable end of maintaining and ever adding to that
outstan'ding Brandon College Spirit.
To the students go our sincere and heartfelt appreciation
for the support and co-operation they have given us so willingly. It is only by such co-operations that our college years
may be successful and never forgotten. To the faculty and
administration go our highest regard for their patience, interest, and capability in guiding us in our ideals. Especially,
to Dr. Evans goes our deepest esteem and gratitude for his
steadfast interest and leadership in our Alma Mater and the
student body.
It is with mixed emotions that we bid "farewell" to Brandon College. We shall always cherish in our hearts the memories of our years here and our many friends and associations
that we have had all this time. Thus we say "thanks" to all
who have made our stay so worthwhile and memorable. To
the students who will prize our Alma Mater as we do, may
you reap all of the many benefits she offers. To Brandon College and all its students go our sincere best wishes to grow
and prosper, to seek and find, and to gain all that is worth
while in life. May God bless and keep you all.
Barbara and Jack,
Lady and Senior Sticks

e
TOTH€ SICKleAs we approach the close of our academic year 1956-57, we are becoming keenly aware that, in a measure at least, this is an unusual year;
because of the fact that in it we are celebrating the seventy-fifth birthday
of our fair city.
While it may be true that in Europe and in the older parts of the
civilized world 1882 is not looked upon as being far back in the past,
nevertheless, here in Western Canada, three-quarters of a century is regarded as no brief span of time. Indeed, history clearly reveals that 1882
was within the days of "Early Settlement" in Manitoba, and that seventyfive years ago transportation was restricted mainly to the lakes and streams
of the province, with the stern-wheeled paddle steamer serving the Brandon
area on the Assiniboine.
Those days have gone, and yet how grateful we should be for the great
heritage passed on to us by those early pioneer settlers, who braved the
tempest and the storm, who faced dangers extreme and difficulties seemingly unsurmountable, who felt hunger themselves, and who almost constantly experienced anxiety for their families. Men who with axe and saw
cleared the land and built their homes, and broke the virgin turf with
wooden plough by oxen drawn. Men who, as population grew, laid the
foundations for organized society, fashioned with care a sound educational
system, stimulated progress in early industry and, in due time, by judgment rare and courage bold, welded our "Great West" into the fundamental and final link in our unique plan of "Confederation".
With wholesome pride, we relate ourselves to forebearers such as
these; not that they were regarded as the elite of any land, nor that they
came from any chosen spot on earth, but primarily because of the great
spirit and dauntless courage that they revealed, fostered, and developed,
-a spirit that has been passed on to us as a Great Heritage, and which we
now are glad to regard as being truly "Canadian".
But why all this?
Brandon College, too, has had a somewhat similar history, and, in the
field of education, she, too, has pioneered and progressed in close co-operation with the efforts of those stalwart men and women who have made
Manitoba what it is.
Unfortunately for those now in attendance, she can not boast of elaborate
buildings, nor can she speak of an enrolment numerically strong. In her
scholastic record, however, there are prominent peaks of achievement, of
which the oldest and most revered institutions might well be proud.

.

Moreover, at this particular moment, the foreboding clouds that have
darkened her course from time to time, making progress thus far slow and
difficult, now seem to be breaking; and, with the stimulating shafts of sun·
light passing through, a brighter prospect is revealed.
But possibly one of the greatest achievements of Brandon College lies
in the rather peculiar and outstanding "College Spirit" which she has been
able to establish and to maintain down through the years, by the happy
blending of the thinking and desires of Directors, Faculty, Staff, and
students.
Truly, in this our Alma Mater has given us a Great Heritage, in which
"One thousand folk had share
With twice one thousand,
And what each portion was and where
Was known to none."
Of this heritage may we be justly proud. May our great ambition be
to be worthy of it, and may it be our pleasure and delight to so enrich it
with spiritual and intellectual sustenance, and so endow it with physical
capacity, ere we pass it on to those who follow in our train, that they, in
turn, with conviction and with quickened pulse, may be glad to join with
us in this refrain:
"Round thy fair prospects
Fondly our memories twine,
Hail, Hail, Brandon forever Hail".

.

During this next year Brandon will celebrate in
a befitting manner the 75th Anniversary of the
incorporation of the city.
The builders of Brandon have good reason to
feel jubilant as they view the results of the threequarters of a century's energy, pluck and perseverence.
Seventy-six years ago Brandon, now one of the
most progx:essive and withal, one of the most beautiful little cities of Canada, was unknown and nonexistant. A lone shack on a lone prairie was all
that betrayed human habitation to the passer-by.
For years this region was known only to migrating Indian bands and to the Hudson Bay voyageur,
whose course westward, had for long years lain
a few miles to the south of the city's present site.
The ridges on the prairie left by the long train
of Red River carts during their years of travel to
the great northwest, may still be seen in one or
two out of the way places. But the Red River cart
and pony Indian driver and the loads Qf Buffalo
skins all have long since passed away, and some
ridges, deep cut in the fertile loam and the Blue
Hills of Brandon, alone are left mute witnesses of
many a stirring and romantic scene in the history
of this great lone land. The Blue Hills of Brandon
were named many decades ago and were known
then as now for their great beauty-a veritable
island of forest in a sea of prairie and plain.
From all time, nature had marked this region
with its vast undulating and fertile stretches and
its beautiful scenery as the site of a city of consequence. Here was the granary of an empire.
Crowning the front of the southern bank of the
Assiniboine, just above the point where the Canadian Pacific Railway crosses the river, the city was
placed. To the east and west lay the vast sweeps
of the beautiful valley of the Assiniboine, to the
south lay the Blue Hills from which the city takes
its name, while to the north lay the limitless
prairie with its fringe of timber in the remote
distance leading to the Riding Mountains. Low in
the valley lay the sinuous and slowly meandering
Assiniboine, its banks fringed by majestic elms.

The C.P.R. Syndicate offered the townsite of
Brandon for sale on June 2nd and 3rd, 1881 and
lots were sold at very high prices.
Prominent among those who squatted and homesteaded on available land in the neighborhood was
Joseph Woodworth afterwards owner of the Woodworth estate in the east-end of the city.
The first cargo of lumber, about 300,000 feet,
was brought in on the steamer Northwest by Messrs.
Charles Whitehead and Frank Meyers.
The Pioneer store was opened at the corner of
Pacific Avenue and Fourth Street by Messrs. Winters and Wastie but really the first business done
was by the Girnett Bros., who opened up a stock
in a rough shanty on the bank of the river in
July, 188t.
The first hotel was a tent at the corner of
Sixth Street and Pacific Avenue.
The pioneer doctor was the late Alexander Fleming, M.D., who also opened the first drug-store.
Thomas Mayne Daly was the first lawyer to
practice that profession in Brandon. Mr. Daly was
also the first Mayor of Brandon.
It was in September, 1881, before the C.P.R. was
running trains as far as Brandon and all material
and goods came by boat, the rate being about
$1.00 a hundred from Winnipeg. When the C.P.R.
reached Brandon however, the freight rate from
Winnipeg was cut in two and the steamboats were
put out of business.
The buildings erected in Brandon for eight or
nine years after the incorporation of the city were
very largely of more or less temporary nature,
though some fairly good frame and brick structures which are still standing, were built in the
early years of the city.

SEVENTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY of BRANDON

Yet in 1881, all this magnificent heritage stood
unclaimed from the hand of nature and the foot
of the white man had never trod what are today
our busy streets.
But now there was the "tread of the Pioneers".
Already bands of hardy settlers are pushing their
way ahead of the mighty host to come. Here and
there at scattered intervals are seen the snow tent
and the sod shack of the squatter. Now the steel
rail and the iron horse puffing its slow way over
the long miles from the frontier and then there
was the rushing crowds. From all the world over
they came.
It was seventy-six years ago that William Adamson, the original squatter on the site of this busy
city gave up his claim to the Canadian Pacific
Railway for the sum of $25,000. It would take that
amount of money, today to get possession of a
few feet of frontage on Rosser ;. venue.
The city of Brandon, which is so advantagequsly
situated in the heart of probably the best agricultural district in the west, was by order of the
C.P.R. syndicate, laid out in June 1881.
Other routes than the one finally decided upon
had been suggested for the C.P.R. but the survey
through this the most fertile of districts was finally chosen.
Brandon received its name from the Blue Hills,
which lie some ten miles south. Years before the
North-West Fur Company introduced the name having a post at the junction of the Assiniboine and
Souris Rivers, called Brandon House. Several years
before Brandon House was named, the head of
the Douglases, the eighth Duke of Hamilton had
taken his seat in the House of Lords as the Duke
of Brandon, and the name of the trading post prob.ably commemorates the family's connection with
the Hudson Bay Company.

To the Methodist church belongs the honor of
first meeting the religious necessities of Brandon's
pioneers. The initial home of the Methodists was
in a building on Sixth Street. It was used by the
Methodists and alternately by the. Presbyterians,
who had subsequently become organized under Rev.
Ferris as their minister. Rev. Lawson was the first
Methodist minister.
And so it was that Brandon had its beginning.
Today a prairie-tomorrow a city of tents. Such
was Brandon in 1881 and as Brandon is today so
was it made by the men of '81. In them was the
origin and the courage of a pioneer strong to endure
and to conquer and with the ambition and optimism that spells success.
Not content were they with the humble condition
and humbler buildings of the first year. They must
give away to better and so it came that in 1882,
steps were taken and completed that in July of that
same year ushered our beautiful city into greater
prominence and crowned her the youngest and
fairest newcomer among the cities of Canada.
They of '82 believed in Brandon and worked
for her. The mistakes if any were of the head and
not of the heart and every citizen was an immigration agent.
Hope was the watchword and energy and activity, the practice. But there were dark days too,
the boom and crash of the 1890's-early frosts-dry seasons, these and other troubles all had their
day and all left their impression but courage was
the rallying cry and the fight was fought and won.
Today Brandon with her superb streets, her fine
buildings and her pretty homes, stands as a monument to the wisdom and courage of the oldtimers,
who laid the foundation on which their successors
are building the superstructure.
Hail to our city, our beautiful city. May her
sons and daughters appreciate her and be proud
of her.
Hail to the old timers who laid her foundations
and laid them well, who had faith in her future
even when the sky was cloudy.
Hail to those, their successors who have her
destiny in their hands today. May they prove worthy
of the honor entrusted to them and may no sordid
or selfish motive ever sway them but may they
and every citizen do all in their power to increase
her prestige and prosperity.

I am happy to accept the invitation
of the editors of "The SicklelJ to exte-nd my
warm congratulations to the citizens of
Brandon on the occasion of the Seventy-fifth
Anniversary of their city.
When I celebrated my own Seventy-fifth
Anniversary a few weeks ago I quoted Robert
Browning's famous lines: "The best is yet to
be". The students of Brandon College inform
me that Brandon is celebrating seventy-five
years of prosperity and progress. My wish
for your. city, and for everyone of you is
that despite your fine record of achievement
the best is yet to be. I am confident that,
if Providence so wills, and we all work together and do our full share to make it so,
that wish will come true not only for the
residents of Brandon, but for all Canadians.

Brandon is my home town and .Brandon College is my
Alma ~nter.
I will ever be .grateful for the nurturing and
the heritage received from these two sources.

OFFICE OF THE PREMIER
WINNIPEG

March I, 1957
I would like to thank the present day
students of Brandon College for g~v~ng me, a
student of more than forty years ago, this opportunity of joining with them and its many other
friends in extending best wishes to the City of
Brandon on its Seventy-Fifth Birthday. On behalf
of the people of Manitoba and personally I wish
to congratulate Brandon its citizens on the proud
achievements of this three-quarters of a century.
Brandon has long been the centre of one of
the most important and flourishing agricultural
areas of the Province, and recent years have
brought increasing industrialization to the City.
The future strength and prosperity of Brandon, as
of Manitoba, will grow with the further development of both these important aspects of our economy. I know that the people of Brandon will bring
to the Challenges of the future the same determination and enthusiasm which contributed so
greatly to the success of the past.
It is particularly fitting, I feel, that
the students of Brandon College are dedicating
this year's issue of "The Sickle" to the "City".
For more than fifty years the College has played
an increasingly important role in the life of
Brandon and the Province generally. I am confident
that in the years ahead the College and the community it serves will prosper together.
Cordial congratulations and all good wishes
to the City of Brandon!

There was the sound of a clap of thunder in
my ears. The laboratory grew faint and hazy, then
fainter and ever fainter. The dim suggestion of
the room seemed presently to fall away from me;
the night came like the turning out of a lamp. I
supposed an explosion.
I may have been stunned for a moment; my mind
was too confused, too altered with growing madness.
Everything seemed still and grey, but a fresh series
of impressions grew up in my mind. I looked around
me, my sensations were hard to describe, I was
on what seemed to be a little lawn in a garden.
Through the sea of rolling mist, pervasive wherever
I turned my eye, I saw two men, one aged, with a
long white beard, sitting at a table and reading from
a scroll, the other, of somewhat stouter morphalogy,
sto09 by his side, seeming to be an aide-de-camp.
A stirring at my side distracted my train of thoughts
from any further pondering on the unfamiliar and
ethereal scene. As I turned, a figure rose out of
the haze; it was "Broomhandle" Hattie.
At this time nothing could have been more consoling than the presence of my life long compatriot.
Broomhandle and I had spent the last 40 years together, working on a project, in the most scientific
manner, high in technical proficiency, gleamed from
our student years at Brandon College. Not to be
ungrateful for this cherished technique, which we
Doth jealously guarded, we vowed our allegiance
(signing in triplicate) to our Alma Mater, and devoted the plan of this scheme to her. For the last
35 years with undying devotion we toiled like Trojans keeping the hallowed halls free from dust.
Broomhandle and I, bolstered by one another's
presence, courageously, but, cautiously, approached
these two strangers in hopes that some explanation
might be given for these odd and eerie circumstances. Our brave inuendo was shattered on being
greeted from the stouter of the pair, as he called
us by name. On closer examination we both recognized him as being the Rev. Alastair Mac Elliot.
Shocked and aghast we drew back for we both knew
that the righteous Reverend died 15 years ago from
a brain concussion he received when he fell from
the pulpit as he was delivered a forceful fire and
brinestone sermon at one of the class '57 reunions.
In short, the mystery was cleared. We were
dead. This was our judgment day. The man with
the white beard was St. Peter, and it was he who
was to decide our fate,-would it be Hell or
Heaven?
While the genial old gentleman studied our records, with which he seemed most completeiy supplied, we reminisced with our old classmate, Mac.

With gruesome and gory detail he filled us in
on some of the more violent passings of some of
the old familiar classmates. He told of the fates
of Magma McArthur and Diorite Day, geologists sublime, blasted out of a crater while searching for
oil in a supposedly effete volcano. He then related
the death of that eminent horticulturist Dr. Louis
Lenz who was engulfed and devoured by a growth
of venus-fly trap. The passing of Master Moose
Minish, pedagogue at Mr. and Mrs. George Strang's
School of Correction for Careless College students,
brought chills to our spine. Arnold's death came
about from eating a poisoned apple he received
from one of his pupils unresponsive to his love
and kindness approach. Poor Boom-Boom; she was
trampled to death in a stampede of dancers as she
tried to teach them to trip a light fantastic to the
Cattle Call in her own school, Benson's Institution
of Choreography.
Sweet strains of airy music interrupted our discourse at this point drawing our attention to its
haunting familiar melody. It was the '57 class hymn
-thro' the rolling mist a band of musicians approached led by a man and a woman; more to our
surprise, the leaders were bantering back and forth
on what seemed to be the technicalities of how the
music was to be played and sung. It was then we
recognized them as Sokalski and Bray, or as we
knew them better on Earth by their stage names,
Giblets and Solomon-the renowned songwriters,
musicians, actors, and critics. We were restrained
however. from rushing over to renew acquaintances,
for St. Peter would not let us pass the pearly
portals until our records were reviewed and approved. We checked ourselves and reminisced. Poor
Helen and Garth, they passed away in fits of exertion as they tried to outdo one another while
conducting the singing at the 1977 class reunion.
A new arrival at this moment cut short any
further recollections. It was Madame Bjarnason,
Dean of Women at Brandon College. This was much
to our astonishment for in our last contacts with
the terrestrial the madame was active and in good
health, as a matter of fact she was centered in a
big expose relating to the most recent raid on her
fair young charges by the raucous male contingent
of the college. Our greetings, however, were squelched, and blasphemy and chastisation were given us
in return. It seems she was hit and mortally wounded by a piece of flying copper tubing ejected by
the explosion which also caused our departure.
However she was quickly restrained for fear St.
Peter might regard such profanity in the wrong
light.

•

It was joyous this reunion of old classmates
and we were enthralled and overwhelmed. As we
expressed our feelings to Mac he explained the
working and procedure of St. Peter's technique.
He told of the omniscient and all-seeing powers,
past. present and future, of this kindly umpire of
fate. With our interests kindled thus far, we begged
for further knowledge on the outcomes of other
class members.
You remember Mary Walters, we were told, she's
still going strong-Captain of the Assiniboine Queen,
a school-house schooner, in which she travels up
and down the headwaters of the river bringing
learning to the more remote families.
The Mac said, "There's my somatic counterpart,
F. George Willis; also, the poor lads never had a
chance to exploit many of his more avid ambitions,
h9wever, he did manage to sire 16 children and
consequently he devotes all his time to their care
while his wife earns the bread teaching in one
of l\Ianitoba's rural communities.
We were told of "Satch" Smith, refuting his
namesake's claim to being one of the oldest pitchers
in professional baseball; and of Dave Shaw, still
going to school, trying for a record in 'holding the
most number of degrees ever held by anyone man.
With longing and fond remembrances we wished
to meet the countenance of these dear old companions. "Don't fret," Mac interjected, "It may be
that you will see them soon. Oh yes, if you are
still here, in a short while you might witness the
arrival of Colonel Peter Michael Czuboka, B.A.,
D.S.O., D.F.C., S.N.A.F.U. "Old Geronimo", as his
men so fondly have tabbed him, is to do himself in
when he cracks his head on the brass rail of a
bar while showing his fellow career officers how
to do parachute rolls. like they did them in the
good old days of the Korean Campaign and '57 class
parties.
Frances Wells. he told us, is playing second
saxophone for a travelling circus group, and as a
matter of coincidence. Mr. and Mrs. John Minions,
having reneged their teachers vows, have an act
of singing barnyard animals which are also billed
in the same carnival.
It was then learned, the other members of this
dignified class would not meet their reckoning for
many years to come. If nothing else, longevity has
made it's mark as an outcome of their college education.
John Barrie Bain Orr and Robert Kenneth Lane,
had amalgamated their vast knowledge, pooled their
resources in techniques and cash, then set out to
become a pair of financiers, industrialists, and
shrewder executives than the world ever did see.
We recountea in memory some of their exploits,
maybe altogether not too successful but determined

in all their attempts. We wondered at them living
to grand old ages, associating early deaths with
harrassed financiers. Mac clarified-it seems these
two plungers in some of their more astute dealings
have reddened their books to such a point, that
St. Peter has granted more than their share of
time in hopes that some of the debts incurred might
be resolved.
We learned of Keith Hunter, who still devotedly
attends classes in Mr. Wong's Modern Physics, in
hopes that some day he will understand the intricacies of the atomic bomb; however, things are
not too bad for Keith, because he and his hired
hand, Mike Kiedyk, sow the crops in the spring on
Hunter's farm and harvest them in the fall. Keith
returns to school while Mike, in an attempt to gain
the comparable success of the Minions barnyard
act, has volunteered to feed the chickens in the
winter in hopes that he may be able to educate
them into a similar production. The fresh air and
sunshine of rural life has left them in good health.
Barry Burch has followed his father's footsteps
-he's become a hand-shaking, baby-kissing, filibustering, politician. Although he's been M.L.A. for
Wellwood constituency for 20 years, he's been cautious, and has not committed himself to his riding
nor his government, as yet. St. Peter has smiled
kindly on Barry, however, and has granted him
another 20 years in which to justify himself as a
politician .
"What of our senior and lady sticks"? we queried
in unison. "Well", Mac said, "they've done pretty
well for themselves, as we all knew they would.
Jack Fotheringham has made quite an impression,
his face has been circulating in some of the more
elite social whirls for years, and will continue to
do so, unless we have another prohibition. You see,
Jack's associated with one of the country's most
reputable distilleries, the old man's picture you see
on the label of that good $7.50 rye, 'Old Dad', is
Jacks".
St. Peter has blessed Dr. Barb Mills with an
extension of 25 years. It seems that this eminent
chemist at Brandon College is the only one who
knows the intricate workings of the 450 gal. capacity
still, the operation of which has been instrumental
in obtaining sufficient remuneration to keep the
College operating without a deficit.
"Next", said St. Peter. It was then that we
realized that our judgment was decided. Together
we turned and faced our fate, speaking as if with one
voice, the epithet that had shaped our lives, as well
as the lives of our classmates"Though it be Hell or Heaven
We're the class of '57"

JANET SOUTHERN - B.C.'s per·
sonification of "Five Foot Two,
Eyes of Blue". Janet is a bundle
of energy behind all college activi·
ties. As head of Clark Hall her

a member of the Brandon clan and
an active one. Heather's quick wit

throne". She capably fills the position of Senior Ladies Athletic Rep·
resentative and is frequently seen
behind the librarian's desk-sometimes even studying. Living out of
residence, Joyce is suspected of
leading a gay night life.

ART. WILSON-A student who is
doubly attracted to Chern. n. Are·
sident of Brandon College, and a
constant escort of an ·equally darkhaired chap. Makes frequent trips
home to get his father's car before

get the boy admitted to school without a written
examination. The boy, however, could not answer

"Thirteen", the boy answered.
"Aw, let him in anyway, Dean," pleaded the
coach, "he only missed it by two".

corner.
"Why haven't you mended the holes in these
socks?" he demanded.
"You didn't buy that fur coat I wanted", replied

I didn't give a darn".

Our Main Executive has as its main purpose the
organization and the co-ordination of all student
activities. All major student organizations are represented, as well as the whole student body, through
the Senior and Lady Stick, the various Board managers and the class presidents. The faculty is represented in the person of Mr. Birkinshaw.
This year the Main Executive functioned very
successfully with the untiring co-operation of the
members. A well-balanced plan of student activities
resulted in a spirit of unity in the student body.
The spirited discussion on various matters showed that no apathy existed in this body. All opinions
were discussed and Executive acted at all times in
the best interests of the student body.
Jack Fotheringham and Barb Mills, Senior and
Lady Stick, deserve much credit for their fine job
in leading the students and the Main Executive
through such a successful year. Our congratulations
to them and our best wishes to the new Main Executive.

CO - ED ASS 0 C I A T ION
The Co-Ed Association is the one to which all
female members of the B.C.S.A. belong. It operates
with the idea that "we women must stick together" and flourishes in opposition to the male
Sigma Mu organization.
The first event of the year convened by the
Co-Eds is the tea organized by Mrs. Cowan and the
girls of Clark Hall to which all Co-Eds and their
mothers are invited. Mrs. Cowan, Barbara Mills and
Janet Southern received the guests, who, after tea,
were taken on a tour of the "Marble Halls."
The Co-Ed dance is, of course, the association's
largest undertaking. It was held in the Agricultural
School with a South Seas setting. The programme
was a scene in Hilo Harbour Hall, a Hawaiian Clark
Hall. The huge central palm tree was the foundation of the decorating theme and the lunch was
a tropical one. The function was well attended and
a pleasing success.
As is customary the Co-Eds yearly activities were
terminated by convening the dance and lunch after
the Installations Program.
Officers for 1956-57 were:
Barb Mills
President..._
Vice-President.
Eleanor Bryan
Secretary
Viola Bjarnason
Treasurer
Louise Chapman

TRACK AND FIELD DANCE
The evening of Saturday, September 29, found
many a tired and aching student trying to trip the
light fantastic in the "Hut".. As you may readily
guess, it was 1956's Track and Field Dance. Although
some were feeling the effects of a rigorous crosscountry run, or perhaps a jump of 4' 6" (which
had not been attempted since Grade IX), this "skirtand-sweater" function was enjoyed by all. Ably
convened by Bob Coleman and Donna Hyndman,
our Freshie King and Queen, the capel's started
with a snowball, and thereafter, few students "sat
one out". To add to th~ interest, elimination dances
of different varieties were tried out. Lunch consisted of all the cokes and dixie cups your little
heart desired and your little constitution could
stand.
Music was provided by the college's foursome
with Wally Jasper at the piano, Jack Jubenvill on
the trumpet, John McArthur on the clarinet and
saxophone, and Warren McKinnon on the drums.

PUBLICATIONS
BOARD REPORT
Enthusiasm, fellowship, co-operation and achievement have crowned this year's work on the Publications board. In some ways we have failed, in
others we have succeeded to a very high degree.
It is our most sincere wish that Harvey Kushmaniuk
and his board will be blessed by the success that
we have known and that he will carry our successes
forward to a higher degree.
The "Sickle" is the biggest news this year. We
have produced a hard back book, with invigorating
art work, and professional book binding. Continuing
the work of last year's board we will have the book
out before exams. Every student owes a great deal
to the fine, intelligent work of Harold Hutton, Bob
Land and their capable staff.
Our "Quill" has taken a big step forward with
a six page paper being permanently introduced.
We have been able to print an almost endless
supply of pictures this year, which we hope has
raised your interest in the "Quill". We sincerely
hope that the cartoons and the quality of the writing have pleased you.
._
We ventured into the realm ot'Handbooks this
year and did not do so well due to the lack of a
guiding precedence or record. We have made this
precedence and have left records so that the next
time a Handbook is produced it will be of a higher
quality.
As this year's Manager of the Board of Publications, I would like to thank those who have
helped us in the least way. To Profs. Walmsley and
Thordarson, I wish to say a humble "thank you"
for your much needed advice and backing that you
gave me when I really needed it.
So once again we extend best wishes to the
incoming board. Your satisfaction will be far superior to any of your worries.
Clare Coburn, '58

FINANCE

BOARD

Due to the spirit of splendid co-operation and the
conscientious efforts of all members of the Finance
Board in 1956-57 the B.C.S.A. financial situation has
been kept well in hand this year. The revision of
the Finance Board Constitution should provide a
more stable basis for the efficiency of future boards,
and it is hoped that the financial procedures initiated
in 1956-57 will bring permanent efficiency to B.C.
S.A. financial organization.
To Heather Stewart, next year's Finance Board
Manager, and to all members of the new Board, the
1956-57 Finance Board extends best wishes, and expresses the hope that 1957-58 will be another successful financial year for the B.C.S.A.

SIGMA

MU

The Sigma Mu, this year, as has been its tradition in the past, lustily fulfilled its obligations
by organizing (?) a function each term. The male
members, junior and senior alike pitched in and
did their part to try to make these functions a
success.
Film Frolics, the dance in first term, was by
general agreement, (especially of the males) one
of the highlights of the year. Costumes were compulsory and everyone came dressed as their favourite
movie character. At intermission, the Sigma Mu'ers
actually came up with an original idea in "Guess
the Guest" but the usual friendly jibes were thrown
at the faculty who were our guests of honour. The
whole fiasco was in the capable hands of Frat.
organizer Fuzz Fedoruk.
The Installation program was again a variety
show with such talented actors as "Impatience and
Imprudence" and the great "Fifi Foofoo" stealing
most of the glory.
To anyone who contributed in any way to the
success of these functions the executive of the
Sigma Mu is grateful. On retiring, it is our hope
that in '57-'58, the Jilted Knights will be as well
supported.
Hilt Stewart, '57

A long-desired amendment to the constitution
made it possible to award Athletic B's to the football team for five good games last year. The constitution of this board is young and growing and
will, of necessity, continue to grow as conditions
change.
Thank you, George Willis and the B.C. Lit Board,
for your work in giving us a trophy for Inter-Year
Literary activities, and thank you, Jim Struthers,
John Minions, Frank McKinnon, Laurie Craddock
and Jack Fotheringham for the Sticks trophy for
Public Speaking.
Dadio gave us a lead on a new crests manufacturer through J. A. McDonald and now we not
only get them for less but we are getting class
numbers., names, and a College jacket crest selected by the board from Mike Yakimishyn's designs.
Mike worked on the Trophy record book too, though
not on the board.
Good luck next year, Cameron Davreux-I hope
you get a board as co-operative and efficient as
we had this year.
Sincerely and respectfully,
Paul Antrobus, '58

The Student Christian Movement has had a successful year, meeting every Wednesday night. Dr.
Ellen Flesseman from the Netherlands, and Rhoda
Palfrey, Bev. Burwell and Rev. Bob Miller from
the S.C.M. were visitors who spoke both in chapel
and to interested students at specially arranged
meetings. Two guest speakers, Miss B. Gibson and
Mr. R. Rae, presented their views on the general
situation in South Africa and India respectively,
emphasizing the need for greater co-operation and
understanding between groups sharply divided by
race and religion. Other meetings included discussion such as "Is Christianity the Answer?", "The
Universe-Chance or Clockwork", and "Who is 'The
Jesus of History'?". The S.C.M. sent one member,
Eleanor Postans, to Fort Qu'Appelle for a conference held during the Christmas holidays. They
are also active in visiting the Maples.
This group, part of the World's Student Christian
Federation, aims to help university students to know
Christ and to understand what knowing Him means
for their personal and public lives. Sir Walter
Moberley, in "The Crisis in the University", says,
"Universities are power-houses for the production
of intellectual leaders in many fields and centres
of thought, where the ideas which transform the
world may be elicited, developed, tested and diffused". Marx and Mammon make strong bids for
the allegiance of the student's mind. Why should
not Christ capture the campus?

SERVICE
The World University Service "Treasure Van"
arrived at Brandon College on November 6. The
"Treasure Van" is the sale of handicrafts from all
over the world to help university students not quite
as fortunate as we are. These handicrafts included
leatherwork from Mexico, ivory and filigree from
India, mother of pearl from Palestine, hobeshi dolls
from Japan and many, many more items.
During its three day stay here the Treasure
Van cleared $597.96.
The conveners were Paul Antrobus, Bill Friesen,
Donna Christie, Dilys Pearce and Gary Prior. They
agree that without the willing help of all the students it could not have been a success.

LITERARY BOARD

"All the world's a stage and all the people in
it merely players."-8hakespeare.
The Literary Board's function is to promote
activities along Literary and Cultural lines. Sitting
here, looking back over the year's activities, I can,
with all honesty, say that it has amply fulfilled its
purpose.
Our major activities, of which there were five,
were very successful.
We were not here a week when twenty-five
keenly interested students took off to the International Peace Gardens for the annual I.R. Conference sponsored jointly by Brandon College and
Minot State Teachers College. This year the students were instrumental in arranging the whole
show; from chairing the first Intercollege talks in
the spring to M.C.-ing the evening banquet. I thank
Lorraine Benson fOr the excellent job she did in
helping me to arrange this conference.
Along about November 23 Lit Nite was re-incarnated. This college has not seen so much interest
in this worthy function for the past five years at
least. How Keith Harrison managed to arrange a
play from each year, plus the debating finals, plus
three solo numbers by some of our talented artists,
I'll never know. Needless to say he did and we
enjoyed every minute of it.
February 13 saw our first Elocution contest with
John Berridge at the controls. I'll never forget "Lady
Macbeth" along with the other four girls and two
boys who recited for us. This function proved an
immediate success.
Tonight, Carman Rust's efforts over the last two
months will go to the test. "My Three Angels" will
be premiered at the City Hall. I saw a sneak preview of it and I can vouch, and I know that I will
be proven right by the time that you read this,
that it will be a fitting climax to a very successful
year. Thank you Carman, and all your cast and behind the scenes people, and a special thanks to
Miss Laycock, our director.
Throughout the whole year, every other Tuesday
evening, Dilys Pearce has produced a Radio program.
Her insistence at only high quality recordings has
done much to bring our "Brandon College on the
Air" back into prominence throughout Western
Manitoba.
The minor organizations didn't do too badly
either. The Science Club under the directi n of
Harv. Kushmaniuk, and the French CluJ- under
President Helen Sokalski each had a fLlccessful
year,

Herb Murray and Alastair Elliott did a good job
trying to reorganize the Debating Club. Much ground
work has been laid by the Glee Club and the
I.R.C. and we hope they will flourish well next year.
This year, in recognition of his outstanding contribution to Brandon College, the Lit Board presented a trophy for Annual Interyear Competition
in honour of Dr. Evans. It is our hope that "The
President's Trophy" will become a hard fought for
trophy, a trophy which only the best class will be
able to win. In this way a truly great man can be
honoured by the student body.
That's it for this year. For next year I see an
even brighter future. To Carman Rust who will guide
and direct next year's Lit Board, go my congratulations and best wishes.
George Willis, '57

,

"Lit Nite", Brandon College's variety concert,
this year took on a new, and very worthwhile form.
Bristling with competition, practically every aspect
of the evening bore the mark "Made at Brandon
College". Each class was responsible for a fifteenminute skit, its writing, and its production, which
was presented in competition for valuable Sparks
Trophy points. The inter-year debating finals were
held and three musical numbers rounded out an
entertaining evening.
The skit presented by first year, "Life With
'Sixty' ", to the form of a three-act classroom
"drama"-each act vividly depicting, with no small
amount of satire, one particular professor as he
sought to enlighten the Class of '60. Howls of
laughter greeted the clever and clear portrayals
of Mr. Thordarson, Mr. Perry, and Mrs. Brown by
John Lockie, Bob Melvin, and Marion ·Williams, respectively. John Lockie also directed the production.
Second year's skit, "A Night at the Inn", was a
suspense thriller, full of Oriental mystery and London-Club atmosphere. Cameron Dllvreux was Toffy,
a confident up'per-class thief, with Allan Wells and
Clark Mitchell as his sailor henchmen. Bill Evans
was in charge of this production,.
Third year managed to cross Shakespeare with
Rock 'n Roll and under director Heather Stewart,
put over a farce-fantasy called "Elvis Ceasar". Jim
CallendiU" was the great Elvis with Janet SoutJiern
his doting Calpernia. The girls of third year provided the shrieks, and the boys-the betrayor's
sword. This skit was a delightful satire on both
Shakespeare and Elvis Presley.

Fourth Year and Education, under director Lorraine Benson, sought to satirize the "Wheels Behind
the Iron Curtain". Thus, in their "Crussian Crisis",
"Bunglin" (Bob Lane) and "Slushev" (Barry Orr),
tried to solve the dilemma of the Jungoslavian
revolt. However, it finally took Sonia Hotstoff, "The
Brains behind the Gremlin" to provide a solution.
The part of Sonia was taken by Frances Wells.
The Teacher Training Class presented "Normalella", a witty satire on teaching methods and teachers, directed by E. Postans. Normalella, the poor
thing, was played by Peggy Graham, and Donna
Hyndman was her fairy godmother, Dr. Hilda Neatby. Also included in the cast were the jealous sisters, coachmen, and last but not least, Prince
Charming Lawrence Yanick.
The judges, Miss Laycock and Miss Harpley
awarded top honors to First Year and second to
the Normal Class.
The problem for the debaters was: "Resolved
that Canada should legalize mercy-killing". For the
affirmative were Elaine MacDonald and Ed Gil·
lespie, representing Second Year, while Arnold
Minish and Allister Elliott took the negative stand
as the representatives of Fourth Year and Education. Andy Kossak was chairman and working
behind the scenes was Herb Murray, President of
the Debating Club. The judges Miss Walmsley, Dilys
Pierce and Mr. Simmons awarded their decision
in favor of the negative.
Three musical numbers, a vocal solo by Lorraine Pottinger, a trumpet solo by Jack Jubenville,
and a song and piano vaudeville routine by Jim
Melvin and Wally Jasper were greatly enjoyed and
added variety to the evening.
Keith Harrison, Lit Night Convener, and George
Willis, Manager of the Lit Board, are to be congratulated for a greatly appreciated programme.
As George put it, "We hope a competitive Lit Nite
at Brandon College will become a permanent function".
Garth M. Bray, '57

.
MAJOR PRODUCTION

This year's major production, "My Three Angels"
was presented to large and appreciative audiences
in the City Hall Auditorium on February 20, 21,
and 22. A fantasy-comedy, it was an outstanding
production due to the fine characterization and an
abundance of humor, which although Parisian was
not "avant garde". As usual, Edith Laycock in her
unique way molded native talent into mature acting by the superb direction for which she is known.
Producer-Manager Carman Rust, and Literary Board
Manager George Willis were the executive responsible for ·the smooth running performances.
"My Three Angels" had for its setting the backroom living quarters of a French Guiana store
operated by a harassed merchant, Felix Ducotel,
well portrayed by John Lockie. Hardly the successful business type, Ducotel was more of a philosophic philanthropist. His wife, Lorraine Benson,
was continually striving to reconcile his slack bookkeeping and his lovable boyish innocence.
The three main characters were three convicts
from the nearby penal colony who, although hired
to repair the roof, stayed for Christmas dinner and

managed to resolve the family's difficulties. Each
of the three angels turned in unique characterizations. Bill Evans, the fast talking, fast thinking
ring leader; Marry McLennan, the capricious a.nd
cat-footed murderer; and Wayne Pettapiece, the
serious murderer who longed pathetically for domesticity. Their efforts on the Ducotels' part included straightening out the "books"; getting rid
of papa's suspicious financier cousin, Henri Trochard (played by Keith Harrison) and his malleable
nephew, Paul (Jim Donaghy) with whom Ducotels'
daughter, Marie Louise (Eleanor Bryon) was blindly
in love; blackmailing one of papa's charging customers, Madame Parole, (Donna .Wilkins) into paying her bill; and finding a new lover for Marie
Louise in a young lieutenant (Alan Wells).
To the performers and to Ian Dickson, in charge
of ticket sales, Vali Ali and John Hattie, in charge
of properties and Frances Wells in charge of costumes, as well as Miss Laycock, George Willis and
Carman Rust, the sincere appreciation of the college is extended.
Garth Bray, '57

FRENCH

CLUB

The first few weeks at Brandon College are
scenes of hectic activity-especially for club organization.
This year the French Club began activities with
surprising zest under the guidance of faculty members Dr. Entz and Mr. Bennett. Although few in
number, the members displayed enthusiasm in trying to achieve the aim of the Club: that of acquiring a better understanding and insight into the use
of the French language. This was accomplished
primarily through the use of discussion groups and
by reading newspapers and digest books. Excellent
films gave the Club a further insight into French
ed~cation, welfare and topography.
To our successors we express our sincerest wishes
for an enjoyable year at French communication.

SCIENCE CLUB
The Science Club was organized in the early
fall with Prof. Hannah as honorary president and
Harv. Kushmaniuk as president. The 20-member
club enjoyed an extensive program.
In first term films on Kitimat, Soil Conservation
and Chemistry were shown. Two guest lecturers
were presented to the club, Dr. Kidd and Prof.
Hannah, who spoke on the possibilities of a career
in the respective fields of Science. The club also
took a trip to the Anglo Oil Refinery.
Second term was opened with a very interesting
lecture by Prof. Wong on Nuclear Reaction. At
the next meeting C. E. Collins, formerly of M.T.S.,
presented a timely lecture on the Micro Wave
transmission, which is shortly to be in operation
in Brandon. The final meeting of the year was in
the form of a party.
Donna Christie, '58

I. R. C.
The annual International Relations Conference,
held at the Peace Gardens, started out the activities
of the Brandon College mc for '56-'57. This year,
for the first time, the conference was handled entirely by the students. George Willis convened the
conference from the Brandon end, assisted by Lorraine Benson. The topic for this year was "The Far
East", and Herb Murray gave the Brandon paper.
The Club carried on in second term with several
interesting films, and considered the problem of
next year's conference. It was decided that Vali Ali
would give the Canadian paper next year when the
topic of the conference will be "Canadian-U.S. Relations". Keith Harrison will undertake the convening
of next year's conference.

RADIO PROGRAMS

Heather Stewart, Jon Skafel,
Donna Hyndman, Stan Livingston
"Brandon College On The Air" got off to a good
start this year, beginning the second week after
term opening with a commentary on the I.R.C. Conference.
This year, the radio broadcasts were made up
entirely of student programs. Formerly the Faculty
and Music Department had contributed a share of
the broadcasts. The programs were broadcast every
other week with a total of five in first term and
four in second term.
Hoping that better public relations could be
established, a new policy was adopted-that of
having prominent citizens from the city of Brandon
as guest members on our panel discussion programs.
Such topics as "The Role of Athletics in Brandon
College", "The Changing Family in Western Manitoba", and "Why a University Degree" were discussed. Respectively our guests were Mr. Frank
Boucher, Coach of the Brandon Regals, Mrs. D. L.
Reisberry, Executive Director of the Children's Aid
Society of Western Manitoba and Mrs. G. R. Rowe,
Feature Writer for the Brandon Daily Sun. As guest
on a program giving the organization of the Student
Christian Movement was Canon B. O. Whitfield,
Rector of St. Matthew's Cathedral.
Two very enjoyable musical broadcasts consisting of student talent, excerpts from the Major Production "My Three Angels" and an exchange broadcast from the University of Manitoba which featured
talent from United College, were also heard.
Although it was generally considered that the
programs were of a better quality this year, the
fact remains that their improvement offers a real
challenge to the ingenuity and organizational ability
of future Radio Conveners. The task is an enjoyable
one however and is certainly worth the grey hairs
and ulcers one obtains from trying to meet that
everpressing deadline.
Because so many students had shown their interest in Radio work the hope of creating a Radio
Club was realized in second term when the Radio
Club began functioning under the able presidency
of Allan Wells. Four meetings were held. A special
event was a tour of CKX as was an address by Mr.
Humphrey Davies. We hope that this club will come
into its own even more fully in the future.
A special thank-you to all students who participated in the programs, to Mr. Harris for his suggestions, to Mr. Frank Bird, Program Director of
CKX for his outstanding co-operation at all times
and to all those who in any way contributed to
the success of the broadcasts. Best of luck to Harold
Hutton, radio convener for 1957-8.

TRACK AND FIELD

On Saturday, September 29, the annual Track
and Field Meet was held in Kinsmen Stadium. At
nine Q'clock in the morning the meet commenced
with a good crowd to cheer for their respective
years. All the years received good support from
the cheering section because the results contributed
towards the final decision as to which class would
receive the coveted Spark's Trophy.
One of the highlights of the meet was the Men's
Cross-Country run. After the dust had cleared from
the track, it was announced that Bob Simmons
had won the race. The next two ru~ners to cross
the finish line were Bob Coleman a~d John Berridge.
In the evening Dr. Evans presented the awards
in the Chapel. Lorna Evans was the star performer
for the Ladies Aggregate, while Bob Simmons was
the Men's Aggregate winner for the straight second
year. The Teacher's Trainin~ Course and Second
Year tied with 126 points for the Year Aggregate.
Many thanks should be given to the two Athletic Representatives, Bob Nelson and Joyce Thompson, for a job well done in the planning of the
Brandon College Track and Field Meet of '56-'57.

ATHLETIC BOARD
The Athletic Board is one of the many boards
operated under the B.C.S.A. Its purpose is to organize and control all athletics within the College.
This year, as in past years, athletics have played a
major role in student life at Brandon College.
Football, basketball, hockey, cheerleading, bowling and curling could be considered the outstanding sports of the year. The football team, although
only winning one game out of five, was a credit to
the College because of its fine spirit and sportsmanship throughout the ·season. The basketball fell
slightly short of the success enjoyed in former years
because of lack of competition. After a year of
absence the hockey team again entered into W.C.
I.A.U. league. The first four games were played
against the University of Manitoba. Then the Caps
journeyed to Saskatoon and Edmonton. Again the
College team gained recognition by showing its
fine sportsmanship and spirit. The cheerleaders,
under male management for the first time, showed
vast improvement over previous years. This year
the W.C.I.A.U. curling was held in Brandon with
teams from U. of M., U. of S., and U. of A. visiting
the Wheat City. This event was a big step in increasing the interest in curling throughout the student body.
Once again the Sparks Trophy, emblematic of
inter-year sports, was contested in activities such as
track and field, soft ball, volley ball, table tennis,
snooker, curling and bowling. Golf and girls swimming were two other minor sports which were completed with satisfaction.
The success of the Athletic Board largely depends
on the student body. This year the support and spirit
of the students were greatly responsible for making
the large program successful. I would like to say a
sincere "Thank you" to all who helped in any way
with the athletic program. To Wayne Pettapiece
and next year's board go my best wishes for a
successful year.

GOLF TOURNAMENT
On the bright and sunny afternoon of Thursday,
October 11, the Annual College Golf Tournament
was staged at the Wheat City .Golf Course under
the direction of Bob Lane. This tournament was
in the form of a mixed two-ball foursome-each
team being comprised of a boy and a girl. Th-e
boy and girl would try alternately to hit the ball
into the hole, quite a task for some. As darkness
began to fall, the weary golfers came straggling
in, proving by the scores, that some had never
golfed before. Mter the results had been tabulated,
Marg Zachery and Ray Madill were declared the
winners of the Craddock TrophY,·for '56-'57. George
Willis and Carmen Rust, although ineligible for
this trophy carded a 39 for the low score of the
day. Everyone then gathered around the bonfire
for a supper of hot dogs and soft drinks. A sing
song under the leadership of Keith Harrison ended
the event. Since everyone seemed to enjoy themselves, we hope for a bigger and better golf tourname{lt next year.

BAS KET B ALL -- Women's
INTER YEAR TABLE TENNIS

..
•

Last fall, basketball practice began at the Armouries with approximately ten girls present. These
were soon cut down to a faithful eight which constituted the team for the remainder of the season.
The girls as usual were entered in the Senior
ladies league in Brandon. Other teams were the
7 Ups, Queens and a Rivers squad. Under the guidance of coach Bill Snydal, the Capettes provided
strong competition and succeeded in winning some
of their games.
Team veterans were Kay Pue and Carolyn Johnson and Marie Stratford while Lauree Cumming,
Faye Clegg, Agnes Killoh, Lorna Evans and Shirley
Young were newcomers to the group.
While the students in the cheering section were
few and far between, the girls realize that interest
in the sport is low even though this team is the
only organized female group representing Brandon
College in athletics. We hope that next year the
girls' basketball team will have the support of the
student body and will enjoy a successful season.
Thanks are extended to Bill Snydal and captain
Kay Pue who were instrumental in organizing games
and practices.
Shirley Young, '59

In its third year as an organized college sport,
table tennis received much keen interest from both
the players and the spectators. This year instead
of holding the usual College tournament, it was decided that each year hold its own mixed tournament.
In the last week of January, a tournament featuring inter-year competition for the Spark's Trophy
was held. Each year selected six players as its representatives in such events as ladies' singles, men's
singles, ladies' doubles, men's doubles, and mixed
doubles. Mter the elimination of the other years,
Third Year met Fourth Year and Education in the
final sets. The Class of '57 emerged as victors in
straight sets, and were represented by Barbara Mills,
Barrie Orr, Helen Sokalski, Frances Wells, John
McArthur, and Bob Lane.
This tournament brought to an end the official
table tennis activities but some of the more ardent
players still maintain interest in their unofficial
games. We hope that an even greater interest in
this sport is shown next year. I would like to extend
my best wishes to the manager of the 1957·58 season.

CHEER LEADERS

The cheerleaders of '56-'57 had one of the most
active seasons in recent years. Although the squad
was somewhat smaller this year, what it lacked in
Dumber it made up in spirit.
Several innnovations were made: the team was
cut from twelve to eight members; new sweaters
and crests were bought; and most important of allthe manager was a male. To Bill Evans-bouquets
for the way in which he kept up team morale and
spirit. Weekly practices became a real workout
with everyone jumping when Bill cracked the whip.
New yells for hockey, football, and basketball were
created and perfected. The occasional and sometimes incredulous "You kids really looked good out
there!" rewarded the hard work.
To next year's cheerleading team we wish the
best of luck. May you have the co-operation and
enthusiasm that have made our efforts so enjoyable
this year.
Joyce Thompson, '58

MEN'S BASKETBALL
--

f

--

-

-~

The 19156-57 basketball season at Brandon College was very disappointing. Although it is a major
sport, the number of games played and the overall
interest shown were far below those of previous
years. This can only be attributed to a poorly organized Senior League in Brandon and the fact that
no convenient opposition was available in other
cities, towns, or colleges.
In their regular schedule, the Caps made a good
showing after dropping their first two games by
small margins. In all games played, the team had
to be good against the strong opposition with the
result that the final scores were very close.
Barrie Orr, Russell Roney, Ron McMurray, and
Bob Lane were all back this season while newcomers Bob Simmons, Bob Williams, Bob Coleman
and Gary Little, completed the team that Dr. S. J.
"Curly" Tyler coached in his usual expert manner.
Dr. Tyler's presence, along with the support of
the much appreciated cheerleaders and fans were
rewards enough for the many long hours of practice that the boys put in. I sincerely hope that the
next year's team will be blessed with the support
it deserves; and that it provides, and is provided
with, suitable, organized competition. .
Bob Lane, '57

SNOOKER

TOURNAMENT

The Snooker Tournament, this year, was held
on February 12th, at the Recreation Billiards. Teams
of two men, were drawn up and First Year was
lined up to play Third Year while Second Year
played T.T.C. Fourth Year and Education did not
present a team. In the first round, First Year's team
Qf Gary Prior and Lyle Fraser won against Kieth
Evans and Sam Dechka while Second Year's Dirty
Dunc Brown and Neil Robertson were soundly
trounced by Jim Simmons and Ray Madill. First
Year went on to beat T.T.C. in the final to win
first, while Second Year skunked Third Year to
win third spot. A bingo game and a bean supper
held in the church basement completed the wonderful play of the tournament.
Dune Brown, '59

VOLLEYBALL

On Monday and Tuesday, November 26 and 27,
the inter-year volleyball championship for the
Spark's Trophy was played at the Brandon Armouries. All cpmpetitions were the. best of a three
game series.
The Second Year girls topped their competition
as they waltzed to first place without a loss, as they
by-passed Normal School, First Year and Fourth
Year. Fourth Year had reached the finals with a
two games to one victory over Third Year. The word
is that Second Year used an unfair strategy-they
kept returning their opposition's serves.
On the boys' side Fourth Year rolled over Second Year and Normal School in straight games but
required three to oust the Third Year squad in the
best of three series. Third year had previously defeated First Year in two straight games.

SOFTBALL
•
Once again the Brandon College campus was the
scoring ground for the great softball heroes as the
1956 season got underway.
The Normalites got off to a good start this year
as the boys tramped over the first year men for a
7-5 victory. Possibly a bit overconfident they went
on to battle the more experienced men of Fourth
Year and were slapped with a loss of 15-3.
The women of the Normalite class, however,
proved to be a little better than their male classmates when they swamped the Third Year girls by
a score of 25-2 and followed up this glorious victory
by trouncing the Second Year girls 43-3.
The Second Year boys had a pretty fair season.
They started out with a score of 13-6 over Third
year. They then tackled the combined forces of
Fourth Year and Education and just edged by with
a score of 20-19.
The Second Year girls were not so lucky. They
beat out First Year with a score of 10-5 but were
beaten out themselves by the Normal girls.
The softball season was enjoyed by all with the
losers looking forward to the 1957 season when
they can stage a great comeback.
Ian Black '60

BOWLING
For this season, bowling started on November
2nd, with eighteen teams participating. The powerful Pettapiece team rose to the top early in the
season, and stayed there until knocked out by Brandon during the rolloffs. The top ten teams finished
in the following order: Pettapiece, Brandon, Gates,
Orr, Stewart, Lenz, Lane, Kushmaniuk, Frazer and
Kirbyson.
Mter 10 weeks of Friday afternoon competition,
the roll-offs were held on February 28 at the
Recreation and Brandon Bowling Alleys with the
top 10 teams participating. Mervin Brandon came
up the victor with the members of his team being
Lyall Fraser, Gary Prior, Joan Maltby, Marg MacDonald and Bob Bagg, thus walking off with the
McMurdo trophy. Gary Prior was awarded the Art
Mantell trophy for the men's high average with an
average of 184. Women's high scorer was Donna
Hyndman.
An outstanding highlight of the year was the
Inter-Year roll-offs for points towards the Sparks
Trophy. Four teams were entered and Class of '57,
made up of Lorraine Benson, Vi Bjarnason, Barrie
Orr, Bob Lane and Louis Lenz won the competition.
Third and Second Year placed second and third
respectively.

FOOTBALL
Football, the most popular major sport in our
exalted college, contributed some first class entertainment again this year for the students and
faculty. The Caps managed to squeeze in four
home games and one trip to Notre Dame before
the snow and cold weather closed down the season. Although the won-lost column, 1-4, doesn't
look too impressive, coach Ben Ward and his assistant, Fuzz Fedoruk, brought, for the most part, a
band of eager rookies along, to become a smooth
functioning football machine. With only a small
nucleus of holdovers from last year, Ben had to
start from scratch to mould the club into playing
form; but by the first week in October they were
ready to take on the Faculty of Medicine from U.
of M. After a close hard fought battle, the 'Blue
and Gold finally succumbed 8-7. However, the next
contest was of a completely different nature as
the Caps rolled to a convincing 20-6 victory over
the Faculty of Law.

Highlight of the season for the players was the
trip to Notre Dame. Although the powerful Hounds
crushed our dauntless heroes 29-0, everyone felt
they benefited greatly from their meeting with
Father Murray and his conducted tour of their
campus. On returning to Brandon, the Caps were
all prepared to play host to St. Paul's College on
the following Saturday evening but it seems the
weatherman had other thoughts. The game was
cancelled when it was found enough snow had fallen
to cover the yardstripes and playing would be impossible.
The next visitors to Kinsmen Stadium were the
Faculty of Arts. They also came out on the long
end of the score, 31-12. Disappointment was everywhere apparent after that game. The boys had
grabbed a' commanding 12-0- lead in the first few
minutes but saw it slowly reduced and finally
overcome by the rugged science men. To wind up
the season, Faculty of Engineering made the trip
to our home park and stole away with a well earned
12-0 win. It was another tough loss for the team
and coach Ward, but everyone agreed when it was
all over that the thrill of playing a great game
and the sportsmanship displayed throughout made
up for the lack of winning scores.

HOCKEY
•

I

In order to participate again in the hockey which
proved so popular two years ago, the Caps reentered the W.C.I.A.U. league. This league, which
consists of the U. of A. Golden Bears, Saskatoon
Huskies and U. of M. Bisons proved to be slightly
strong for this year's Caps, who managed to win
only one game. With the exception of the U. of A.
however, the games were close, and with the prospects looking good for a stronger team next year,
we feel confident that we will make a better
showing.
The College was fortunate enough to obtain the
coaching services of Doug Clark, a well known
figure in Brandon hockey circles, having coached
the Wheat King Juveniles for a number of years.
Doug in his quiet, softspoken manner became quite
popular with the team, and was especially adept at
grooming younger players. With this year's team
coming largely from the junior division he is looking forward to a much improved club next season.
Mr. Hannah, who has been our trainer for the
past six years, was once again found to be a very
versatile gentleman. When, due to business commitments, our coach was able only to go to Saskatoon
on the western trip, Mr. Hannah very capably filled
the dual role of trainer-coach, as he has often done
in the past. On top of that he was in complete charge
of all the players, their finances and accommodation.
Is it any wonder that when the team returned home
that our trainer-coach-general manager was the most
fatigued of the lot, and bravely swallowed one of
his own "speedballs"?
The Caps also participated in a newly formed
"City League" for the purpose of obtaining practice
games. Their record was one win, one tie and three
losses. The other teams in the league were, Brandon Cloverleafs, 26th Field Regiment, and the
Brandon Juveniles. This league presented a good
opportunity to develop our younger players.
Line-up-Goal: Mike Czuboka, Ken Taylor; defense: Ben Ward, Pat Kelleher, Neil €ouling, Arnold
Tweed, Gilbert Giem; forwards: Warren McKinnon,
Bob Nelson, Jim McKinney, Frank McKinnon, Jim
Slevin, "Bud" Sweeny, Stew Tunningly, Lloyd Nikkel, Bob Melvin, Ron Kirbyson.
Equipment Manager: Merv. Brandon.

CURLING

On January 4, the curling got started at the
Brandon Curling Club. This year, twenty rinks
competed, a drop of eight rinks from last year.
Because of the shortness of time only five draws
were curled before the bonspiel got under way.
Because of the thaw, ice had to be rented for
periods other than on Wednesdays and Thursdays,
our regular days, with five games being played at
the Legion Curling Club.
Coming out on top in the Fotheringham was
Ian Phair and his foursome.
Thanks to all the curlers who made this year a
success and best of luck to next year's curling manager.
Wayne Pettapiece, '59

Sharp shooting rinks from the Universities of
Manitoba, Alberta and Saskatchewan and Brandon
College congregated at the Wheat City Curling Club
in Brandon this year for the annual WCIAU bonspiel.
Dr. J. R. C. Evans, president of Brandon College
made the draw and play commenced March 1st in
the two-day round robin series.
Stan Auctan's defending champion rink from
Saskatchewan once again placed first after taking
Manitoba 10-9, Brandon 10-7, and Alberta 5-4. The
remaining three rinks all won one game while losing two. Brandon College edged Alberta 8-6 but
lost to Manitoba 5-4. Both games went to one extra
end.
A large contingent of College 'students jammed
the waiting room for' each of the Brandon contests.
Terrific enthusiasm was shown and several visiting players reported that this spirit outdid that of
the similar bonspiels held at other universities.
Reports also indicated that even as all the contests
were very close, the calibre of curling was greatly
superior to anything previous.
Credit must go to Dr. Tyler, Mr. Birkinshaw, Bob
-Nelson and especially to our representative quartet;
skip Wally Jasper, third Gary Prior, secoqd Carman Rust, and lead Clark Mitchell.
All curlers and coaches were guests at a reception and banquet in their honour.

DEBATING
FRESHIE WEEK
The traditional S.C.M. reception brought a rousing welcome to the Freshies on Thursday evening,
September 25th. Mixing games and a sing-song helped to break the ice and as the evening progressed,
everyone became better acquainted. The students
were taken on the customary tour of the College,
followed by lunch served by the S.C.M. The coconvenors of Freshie Week-Janet Southern and
Bob Simmons-gave the details of the Freshie activities and announced costumes would be hobo
style-girls dressed as boy hobos and vice versa.
Orientation lectures were given by Dr. Evans
and Dr. Perdue on Friday morning, followed by a
Chapel service and Freshie meeting.
At the Royalty Contest, Donna Hyndman and
Bob Coleman were chosen as Queen and King, attended by Princesses Lorraine Pottinger and Irene
Roberts and Princes Clark Mitchell and John Berridge.
In the afternoon, all the Freshies appeared,
charmingly attired, for the StudeI1t Orientation,
when the Lady and Senior Sticks and Board managers discussed the activities of their various
Boards.
Memories of the Field Day will long remain vivid
in the minds of the Freshies, when sack races and
other strenuous games resulted in bruises and
aching muscles!
The Pep Rally on Friday evening, was a weiner
roast followed by a dance in the Hut where the
girls' oversized shoes and the boys' straight skirts
presented dancing problems! Everyone enjoyed the
singsong around the bonfire and the rousing yells
with the cheerleaders assisting.
Saturday morning's Orientation lecture was given
by Professor Birkinshaw. At the costume judging,
Marjorie Wilson and Bud Sweeney were awarded
first prize.
The annual Freshie Week rain made it necessary
to hold the scheduled lawn dinner in the Hut. In
spite of the poor weather the Parade followed its
route down town, with the floats representing various aspects of college life. They included a scene
from Men's Residence, a Classroom, and Graduation
with the impressive Royalty float following at the
end. At the Final Ceremony all Freshies were sworn
in as members of the B.C.S.A.
The Frosh Frolic brought a very enjoyable close
to a few days filled with humiliations and embarrassments for the Freshies. However, during this
week, many new friends were made and all the
new students began to feel a part of the College.
Louise Chapman, '58

The 1956-57 academic year saw a revival of interest in Debating at Brandon College. Under the
direction of Herb Murray, the season began with a
series of inter-year debates, culminating in a final
which was held on Lit Nite.
In this series, first year was represented by Bob
Dodds and Dave Halstead, two newcomers to the
debating field who show considerable promise, but
who were defeated by second year's Elaine Macdonald and Ed. Gillespie. Andy Kossak and Herb
Murray, veteran debaters of real ability were narrowly defeated in the debate on the Suez question
by the Fourth year and Education team, Arnold
Minish and Mac Elliott who went on to win the
finals on Lit. Nite with a debate on the perennial
topic "Should Euthanasia be Legalised in Canada?"
The second term got under way with a talk by
Dr. Evans on "The Art of the Debate". A small
but interested audience gained a good deal of
valuable information at this session on all aspects
of public speaking and debate.
We would like to thank the members of the
faculty and student body who have helped with
their advice, and in judging the debates,- and all
those who have contributed to the success of our
small but vigorous society.
Mac Elliott, Ed.

FROSH FROLIC
One of our most successful Frosh Frolics took
place at the Agricultural School on September 24,
thus bringing to a close a very hectic but enjoyable
two days of activity.
The impressive Crowning by Dr. Evans, of
Freshie King, Bob Coleman, and Queen, Donna
Hyndman, took place immediately following the Blue
and Gold March.
Dancing was then enjoyed to the smooth and
varied strains of the Syncopators orchestra.
Following lunch came the dreaded (by Freshies
only!) Freshie Trial, with Grand Potentate Pinhead,
the Great Pretender, presiding over his 13th Century court of nobles (?). Trial was, of course, by
ordeal. These ranged from the gruesome chopping
block to the less formidable smearing of soot on
our new King's face, to two of the' most pleasant
ordeals Dr. Kidd could remember having participated in for some time!
Many thanks to Kay Pue and Bill Evans for their
excellent job as conveners, to Dr. and Mrs. ~vans,
Dr. and Mrs. Perdue for acting as chaperons, to
Carolyn Johnson for her charming decorations, and
to Clare Coburn for his highly capable job as Master of Ceremonies.

CLASS OF '57 AND
EDUCATION PARTY

CLASS '59 AND '60 PARTY

Good old class of '57, strengthened in numbers
by the Faculty of Education departed in little gobs
and bunches (one car to a bunch) Wednesday,
October 24, for the mighty metropolis of Alexander.
Guess what followed? You got it-a most enjoyable, country, fowl supper preceded of course by
the usual waiting period of at least an hour. However, sitting there thinking about the steaming
turkey only stood to increase our appetites and
make it all the more delicious when the awaited
moment finally arrived. I'm sure everyone did justice to the meal and one coy little coed, when
asked where all the food was going, casually explained that she was filling her hollow leg.
After our return trip to Brandon, everyone met
at the home of Lorraine Benson, our class social
convener. It was a tight squeeze to get our combined forces into the living rooms as all available
seats and floor space were soon taken up. But
sitting on the floor does wonders to increase the
joviality at a party. Someone suggested a game of
charades to test the sharpness of our aspiring
young geniuses and it proved so popular as to
continue the remainder of the evening. When the
smoke had cleared, Fuzz Fedoruks' crew seemed
to surpass all others in the art of guessing.
Along about twelve, the effects of the turkey
supper began to catch up to most of us and we
proceeded to thank our hostess for a most enjoyable evening and then staggered off home. Many
thanks to class president John McArther, social
convener Lorraine Benson and honorary president
Professor Smith for a job well done.
Barrie Orr, '57

On Wednesday, October 17, the class of '59
journeyed to Basswood for a fowl supper. Although
it was nearly seven o'clock when we arrived, there
was still plenty of delicious food. Due to the appetites of our hungry crew, there was much less
when we left. Everyone agreed that the food was
really terrific and there was nothing but praise for
the ability of the ladies of Basswood.
After the feast, we piled back into the cars
and headed for Brandon. We shared the "Hut"
with First Year, who had travelled to a fowl supper at Carroll. Several amusing skits were enacted
by the members of different carloads from both
years. Ping pong and dancing rounded out the
evening. A few imports from Normal helped to
remedy the shortage of girls. A good time was
had by all.
Our many thanks go to Professor Hannah, our
Honorary President, and Professor Thordarson, honorary president of 1st year, Jean Firby, our Social
Convener, Noel Shaw, social convener of 1st year,
and to all those who provided cars.
Gary Martin, '59

CLASS '58 PARTY
The class of '58 journeyed to Minto for their
fowl supper, one that will be remembered as long
as we are '58-ers.
We arrived at an early hour and out-sat, out-ate
everyone there. No one said much about our appetites, but the looks!! After the feast, when Kush
had finally had his fill, we all thanked our hosts
with a rousing Hippi Skippi and '58 Yells.
Upon arriving at Brandon we made the rounds.
First over to Waynes to watch T.V.-a very terrific
program on Botany. Then to the Brandon Bowl for
a few bowling games. We weren't much at bowling,
but it was really fun. Then at Paul's suggestion we
hustled out to Walter's for more food. We finally
ended our party at the "Hut" with a sing-song and
music by Paul.
Donna Christie, '58

TEACHER TRAINING PARTY
At four-thirty on October 22, a big bus appeared
before the swinging doors of Clark Hall. What was
it for? Why, of course, the Teacher's Training Students were ready to depart to Carberry for a fowl
supper. When all was ready we took off singing
and soon reached Carberry with sore throats, weak
vocal chords, and big appetites.
The ladies of Carberry served us an excellent
meal and we did it full justice, pausing only to
render, "Hail Our College" before we were too
replete to sing well. Wallace Henderson, our class
President, thanked the ladies and we departed.
Upon returning, we welcomed our poor friends
at home by singing, "Hail Our College" and by
yelling "Hippy Skippy" and our "Normal Yell".
After this greeting we ventured to the Hut where
we all enjoyed the skits, relay, and especially the
lovely playing on the electric guitar by Roxanna
Bowdon. The doors were opened for a dance and
from all reports it was enjoyed greatly by all.
Thanks to the help of the first, second, third and
fourth years men and girls.
Our hearty thanks are given to our chaperon,
Miss Gibson and also to Betty Arnold, our social
convener, and Wallace Henderson, our class president, for their wonderful job of making our party
such a great success. Our thanks also go out to
the bus driver who we hoped survived his ordeal.
Lauree Cumming, TTC

SIGMA MU DANCE
November 3 was the date of this year's Sigma
Mu dance, when the males of Brandon College once
again provided one of the most enjoyable evenings
of the year.
The theme of this year's dance was "Your Favorite Movie Character" and even Hollywood never
had it so good. The two outstanding cOstumes were
Anna Magnani from "The Rose Tatoo" and Red
Skelton.
After a very enjoyable lunch, the chairs were
pulled around the stage so everyone could see the
skit, always the highlight of any Sigma Mu Dance.
This years skit was a "Guess The Guest" game
sponsored by La'ness brand coffee. It started with
"Dr. Kidney Pill" explaining the advantages of
La'ness coffee. The game consisted of a T.V. panel
of such well-known personalities as Pelvis Beastly,
Gina Gotta Lotta Bricksa, Marilyn You Know, and
Get Low Marks. Unknown guests were brought from
the audience and placed in a sound proof booth.
The panel members then asked questions while
trying to guess the identity of the guest. The witty
and sometimes embarrassing questions asked by the
panel provided many a hilarious moment.
The last guest to be questioned by the panel
was "Dad" Fotheringham. He was promptly convicted of treason and hung in front of audience.
The dance was organized under the leadership
of "Fuzz" Fedoruk who along with his committee
did a wonderful job in making the evening such
a success.
Merv Brandon, '58

CO-ED DANCE
'SOUTH SEAS

This year on November 17 while the rest of
Brandon was being subjected to a typical Manitoba
winter, the Co-Eds of Brandon College, with their
dates, were surrounded by the warm atmosphere
of the tropical South Sea islands. Lorraine Benson
and her various committees had succeeded in transforming the Aggie School Auditorium into a tropical island paradise.
This South Seas theme cre,ated by the ingenious
artistry of Carolyn Johnson and her committee was
highlighted by a huge palm tree situated in the
centre of the dance floor. This and the other decorations, particularly the hula girls, were much admired by everyone--even the Sigma Mu'ers.
The name of the supper waltz "The Fruitosaladia Waltz" was indicative of the tasty lunch prepared by Lorna Evans and her committee.
The entertainment ably directed by Jean Firby
introduced to Brandon College such memorable
characters as the famous "Hilo Harbour Co-Eds",
the dashing Canadian sailors, (with special mention
about the dancing sailors), and the unrelenting
Dean Floalei. Congratulations are definitely in order.
This year there was a slight deviation from the
usual Sadie Hawkins Corsages, when the South Seas
theme was carried over into leis. Showing their
usual artistic ability, Dilys Pearce, Janet Southern
and Heather Stewart copped prizes for the most
original leis.
At the last strains of the scintillating music of
the College orchestra were heard, the evening which
will long be remembered, drew to a close.
Congratulations Lorraine, on a job well done.
Jean Firby, '59

COLLEGE ORCHESTRA

.

VALENTINE VALSE
.

-

On Saturday, February 16, the "Valentine Valse"
was held in the Agricultural and Homemaking
School. The beautiful decorations found everywhere
set the scene for a wonderful evening of fun. The
most unique decoration was a large heart in "four
dimension" hanging from the centre of the room.
Music for the gay occasion was provided by the
ever faithful college orchestra. Between selections,
Arnold Minish kept everyone in stitches with his
jokes. When lunch was served, there was another
treat in store-strawberry shortcake and whipped
cream.
Many thanks to the chaperons, Prof. and Mrs.
Simmons and a special thanks to Andrew Kossak,
Louise Chapman and their helpers for a job well
done.
Shirley Young, '59

Early in the College year, a group of students
joined together to form a small dance band which
soon became known as the College Orchestra. Each
member of the group had had a wide range of experience in the popular dance field as was later
indicated by their smooth styling at all our College
dances, with the exception of the Freshie Dance,
the Fall Formal, and the Grad Banquet.
John McArthur and Jack Jubinvill formed the
nucleus of the group; other members including
Frank Woodmass and Wally Jasper.
McArthur has had experience in both dance
bands and military bands around his home town
of Dauphin. John was the leader, doing all the
organizing and arranging for the group, as well as
playing alto sax and clarinet. Being extremely accomplished on the sax, John has also been heard
sitting in on the piano, drums, trumpet and even
the tuba.
Jack Jubinvill played trumpet in the small group.
He can also play the alto sax, although our opportunity to hear him did not arise. Owning a large
repetoire of music, Jack is very accomplished in
both the classical field as well as the modern dance
band field.
Frank Woodmass played a solid piano for the
group on most of their outings. Having his degree
in music, Frank's many interpretations added to
the band's pleasing sound.
Wally Jasper was the final member of the group,
the man in the background, on the drums. He
sometimes sat in on the piano when Frank was
unable to be along.
The group was very active during the year. They

played on several occasions at receptions in the
Hut, appeared on "Brandon College on the Air",
and even carted their horns along on the Hockey
excursion. The boys also had several outside en·
gagements at such places as Virden, Hamiota,
Brandon General Hospital, Brandon Flying Club,
and the Prince Edward Hotel.
Throughout the year, in spite of the Rock 'n Roll
jazz, the group stuck to playing old standard tunes.
It seems that college students preferred to hear
them just as members of the band preferred to
play them.
We were indeed fortunate to have such a group
together here at Brandon College this past year.
We hope that every year we will have a repetition
of such good fortune.
Wally Jasper, '59

ELOCUTION CONTEST
This year a new activity was introduced into the
B.C.S.A. in the form of an inter-year elocution contest. This was held in the chapel on February 13th
with John Berridge taking charge of all the arrangements and acting as M.C. Seven contestants, from
their respective years, took part. Each performed
a selection from Shakespeare and also read a passage of sight reading. Donna Wilkins of second year
took the ladies' honors and Arnold Minish of fourth
year and education won the men's division.
Miss Harpley, Mrs. Cannon and Prof. Perry acted
as judges and Mrs. Cannon gave an adjudication
after the judging.
Preceding .the elocution contest, the scholarships
and bursaries for 1956-57 were presented to the
deserving students.
Following the evening's entertainment in the
chapel, coffee and sandwiches were served in the
Hut.
Donna Hyndman, T.T.C.

FOOTBALL RECEPTIONS
Although the football games held the center of
attention during the fall, the receptions which followed each game were almost as much enjoyed and
shall be as well remembered. During the season,
there were four games followed by a reception, as
well as a cancelled game followed by a reception.
Conveners for the different games were:
for Faculty of Medicine-Jean Firby, Stew Tuningley
for Faculty of Law-Clark Mitchell, Irene Roberts
for St. Paul's--Barry Birch, Marie Wilson
for Faculty of Arts--Lauree Cummings
for Faculty of Engineering-John Berridge, Lorraine Pottinger.
These nine people did a very noteworthy job
and provided an enjoyable time for everyone. The
Caps and spectators received an opportunity to meet
and compare notes with the representatives from
the different Winnipeg Faculties.
Although at times some harsQ words were spoken
on the playing field, no enmity was carried into
the "Hut", and the receptions were carried on in
an atmosphere of complete friendliness and goodwill. However, as always things never go quite as
smooth as they could, and a power shortage presented some difficulties during the St. Paul's reo
ception. The conveners and other interested persons responded valiantly, though, and a candlelight
dance was carried on until the power lines were
fixed. A half-hearted raid on Clark Hall by the Artsmen caused some excitement for a while. The only
result, however, was that the Brandon students,
both boys and girls, had a good laugh about it
next day.
An unforgettable part of every reception was the
delicious lunch prepared and served under the
watchful eye of the respective convener.
All told, the receptions were well convened,
and very much enjoyed by all concerned. Each
added an excellent finishing touch to the excitement of the preceding game.
Jim Melvin, '59

HOCKEY EXCURSION
On Friday, February 1st, the halls of Brandon
College were temporarily vacated as three bus loads
of enthusiastic hockey fans took off on the annual
hockey excursion. This year our destination was Hamiota, and as the bus headed west down number one
highway, we settled back with contented sighs.
On our arrival in Hamiota, we dashed into the
rink eager to get the game underway. Heralding the
start of the game the cheerleaders in their traditional blue and gold began a "Hippi Skippi", which
caused the very rafters to vibrate. Then came the
game, and a hard fought game it was. While the
fans were never anything but wholeheartedly behind the team in their vigorous cheers the final
scoring gave the long end of the 9-1 score to
Hamiota.
Then off to the dance at Kenton where the College Orchestra was already turning out their usual
fine music. After a lunch served by a ladies group
from Kenton, we resumed dancing until two o'clock
when "Dad" expressed our thanks to the people
of Kenton for the good time we had enjoyed. With
the singing of "Hail Our College", "Hippi Skippi"
and the respective class yells we gathered our belongings and headed for the buses to begin the last
lap of our journey.
Many thanks to our chaperones Barb, "Dad",
and Professor Hannah. A special thanks to co-eonvenors Donna Christie and "Fuzz" Fedoruk for making this hockey excursion one of the best.
Donna Wilkins, '59

THE FALL FORMAL
This year's Fall Formal, the Sparkle Prom, was
held, contrary to custom, at the Agricultural College. Compensation for the Prince Edward Hotel
was provided mainly by an uncrowded dance floor,
and an ease on the budget.
A mystic night-club atmosphere was given by
white-clothed tables and the flicker and sparkle of
candles. Carolyn Johnson's decorating ability was
clearly evidenced in the sparkling, dangling snowflakes of such great souvenir value. Further evidence was viewed in the silhouettes on stage, and in
the ferns scattered about the room.
A comfortable lounge was provided in an adjacent room, courtesy of Dunc and Ivan, furniture
movers. The lounge formed the lobby of our makeshift hotel. Even coat-check service was provided.
Lunch, served under the convenership of Kay
Pue, was served buffet style throughout the evening.
Music for that last function before Christmas
cramming was' supplied by the Syncopaters.
From the first beat of the Blue and Gold Waltz
through to the dying echoes of "Hippy-Skippy",
I'm sure we all thank Vi Bjarnason and Cam Davreux, our conveners, for giving us a night to remember.
Joan Evans, '59

BI-SERVICE BALL

The Agricultural and Homemaking School on
Friday, January 4, was the scene of the annual
Bi-Service Ball sponsored by the R.O.T.P., U.R.T.P.
and the C.O.T-.-C.
Bouquets to the decorating committee for their
originality. The main attraction was the model jet
in the centre of the floor. The appropriate colour
scheme was red, white and blue.
Perhaps the reason for the huge success of the
dance was the large array of food prepared by Kay
Pue and her helpers.
Chaperons for the evening were Flight-Lieutenant and Mrs. Hannah and Major and Mrs. McKay.
Congratulations to convener Harold Hutton and
his helpers for a smashing success.
-Bob Simmons, '60

:

ELECTION WEEK

Election week has never been shown more enthusiasm than this year. Competition was keen and
excitement ran high, as each candidate vied for
votes from the members of the student body.
Unfortunately not too many professors were
around to see the gems of creative thinking exhibited on the many and varied posters produced Tuesday evening. Surely this would have assured them
that students do not always sleep in classrooms. At
11:00 p.m. the sombre walls of Main Hall blossomed
forth in glowing, vivid colour.
Excitement rose to greater heights at the Election Rally held in the "Hut" Wednesday afternoon.
The room was a bewildering maze of milling, Campaign-badged, coke-drinking, leather-lunged humanity, commonly known as college students. Campaign
songs and slogans made the "Hut" resound with
cacophonic sound. This year the campaigns of the
Lady Stick candidates dominated the scene.
Thursday pre.sented a contrast of seriousness as
the nervous candidates rose, each in turn, to give
their speech. A strange new device devised by the
Honourable Time Keeper and Gongringer - their
version of a lie-detector-helped ease the stress and
strain of the most trying moments, however.
Friday was voting day, when each student had
,to cast aside the gay mood of the past few days
and make a final decision as to whom they wanted
as members of the Main Executive for the year
1957-58.
The Installations program held Saturday evening
in the auditorium of the Agricultural and Homemaking School was eagerly awaited. Alex Fedoruk
as M.C. kept the events moving. Who will forget
John Hattie's efforts to hang his "No Smoking" sign,
Fifi-Foofo's pantomime of a college boy with his
first car, or Impatience and Imprudence. The return
of the Boys' Choir of Beelzebub College once again
caused faculty faces to flush and students to laugh
with delight at their witty verses.
Throughout the program the successful candidates were discreetly announced. What dismay
there was when we felt that the Senior Stick had
been forgotten! We soon breathed sighs of relief,
however, when John reversed the "No Smoking"
sign-a fitting climax, second only to the formal
installation of the new Senior and Lady Sticks by
Barbara Mills and Jack Fotheringham, Sticks of
'1lJ56-57.
An enjoyable evening was brought to a close
with dancing to the music of our own, 'College Orchestra.

INSTALLATIONS

On the night of 26 January the 1956-57 Installations programme took place at the Aggie School.
The programme began "sharp at 7:30", with a
meeting of the Main Executive conducted on the
stage. After the minutes of the last meeting had
been adopted, and several motions made, the business meeting was adjourned, and the programme
turned over to the Sigma Mu for the purpose of
entertainment.
The '56-'57 Varieties gQ!-off to a smooth start
when John Hattie, after having surveyed the set
for an appropriate place to hang his sign, announced,
scant seconds before his entrance "It's all solid
plaster". The programme continued, and in spite
of the fact that at the opening curtain half the acts
were absent and the other half not ready, the
audience was graced, between delays, with such
notables as Vu Pudue Wongo, Rankin Nankin, Impatience and Imprudence, the all Elastic Band, the
Boys Choir, St. Peter, and Fifi Fifoo, the College
boy with the new car.
Possibly one of the most startling acts of the
evening was the slight of hand performed by Fuzz
Fedoruk, the M.C. He, with great deftness and presence of mind, put any common magician to shame,
as he juggled, substituted, and adlibed, to keep the
programme rolling.
After the final curtain had come down, and
John Hattie had very incidentally turned his sign
around, the new Main Exec. took their place on the
platform, and the presentation for Dad and Barb
took place.
To round out the evening, the mike was handed
over to Lorraine Beflson, who, supplied with a
good solid sock, compliments of McArthur and band
proceeded to conduct a dance, which I am quite
sure we all enjoyed immensely. The festivities were
halted long enough to enjoy very adequate refreshments provided by the Co-Eds. In addition hard
handed John McArthur and his posse of steel traps
succeeded in worming the sum of $100.70 from
those present.
In closing, I think a special word of thanks
should go to Lorraine Benson, the Co-Eds, the conveners, Donna Christie, Fuzz, Hiltie and the boys
in the band, for an evening that, I think, was enjoyed by all.

COLOR NilE

Under the able-convening of Paul Antrobus.
Crests and Awards Board Manager, and Secretary
Joyce Thompson, Color Night proved to be a very
successful function.
Two new cups were presented to the college.
These are: the Presidents Cup for Literary competition, and the Sickle Cup for Public speaking.
Each board manager gave a resume of his past
years' work.
Crests and certificates were presented by Dr.
Evans to B.C.S.A. members attaining the required

OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS!
There's a future for young men with matriculation in Canada's largest bank. New jobs and
new opportunities are opening up all the time.
Progress depends entirely on yourself. Influence-social position-"pull"-have no part in
the Royal Bank's promotion policy. Merit is the
sole qualification.

Branches throughout Canada provide many
positions, and there are other interesting and
important posts at supervisory departments. Our
Foreign Service has a great attraction if you
wish to broaden your horizons.
For further information, ask at any branch
for a copy of the booklet "Your Future in Banking". Our managers will be glad to talk the
matter over with you, any time.
