SIDNEY SMITII

and from Our President
Looking back Ovcr the academic year nuw rapidly drawing to

a closc, we find much for which 10 be Inlly grateful.
A year ago, uncerlainly clouded Ihe horizon for Brandon College making: the future

Yel""

dark indeed.

Today

however

thcs~

clouds arc lirting nicely, rc,·ealing prospects of grea'ter scope in connection with the educational pro&Il'ammc of \,"estern Canada.

There would be no point servcd in dwelling at length upon Ihe
difficullies encounlered by Ihe members of Ihe CHizens' Committee
who finally snccecdcd in making il possible for Bnllldon College
10 reopen in the fall of I !)33. It is of ulmosl imporlance, howc,·er_
Ihal we who arc now in attendance should e,-er be mindful of the
privilege Ihal is ours in having the opportunity of continuing our

work al Brandon and that. in this connectioll. we should thoroughly
apprcciate Ihe efrorls of Ihe Brandon Board of Trade, alltl also the
,ympJlhclic attilude of co-opera Iion on Ihe pari of the ~Ianiloba
Go\'crnincnt. ~Iorco\'cr. we should never forget lhe years or zealous

devotion, untiring efl'orl, and sacrificial support. essentially in\'o)\'ct!

in Ihe building and maintaining of Brandon College during the past
forly years, out of which our greal educational heritage has developed_
Theil, 100, thcre is Calise for gratitude in the vcry cordial rcla-

Ponship exisling bel ween Brandon College and Ihe University of
l\lunitoba in QUI' nC'w afi'iliation. "J"he utmost co-operation marks the
altitude of the University in this connection, and makes possible a
wholesomc anticipation as wc look fonv"II'd to the futul'c.
l\loreover, within the College walls thc work. of the year has
gone along with efficiency, spirit, and goodwill, notwithstanding that
additiol1al responsibilities wcrc of necessity assu1l1ed by many willing members of the student body when it was found that n numbet'

of former sludents, owing 10 Ihe uncerlainty as 10 the future of
Brandon College, had arranged 10 allend elsewhere. l'nder Ihe cirCUlllstances, it is gratifying indeed thnL the extra-curricular activities

of the College have been carried on to good clrecl and thai Ihe scholastic standards of the institution have. nt the samc time, been mainlnined.
Bul while Ihere is ample ground for

appreciation of wllnt has been accomplishI'rol f 8IJor 01 GCOlogy
ed, the point of cmpltBsis no\\' needs to ~)C

placed upon the fulure. \\'ilh Ihe beginning
of 193n-IO, opportunities for a beller piece
of work will be ours, inasmuch as the difficulties of the II-"nsition year \\-ill, we trust,
be largely in Ihe pasl. nie challenge before
us. therefore, cenlers in a high qualily of
\\'ork combined with a gelluine spirit of

loyalty and goodwill, in Ihe gaining of which
personality may be de'-eloped and life become ,·icher, fulier, more complele for all.
Toward Ihis end let us slrain eyery efforl.

Our New Affiliation
"ow thai the all'ilialion of Brandon College wilh Ihe Liniversily
of Manitoba is a year old, onc is able to comment maturely upon

ihe ell'eel of Ihe change upon our sludenl body and sludenl activilies.
Firsl, Ihe change was responsible for a feeling of unselliement thaI
p~rvaded Ihe minds and errorls of sludenls, mosl parlicularly senior
one', throLighout the first term. 'Vc were sorry to see our i\lcMaslcl"
lio hmken for we Ireasured ii, and Ihe allendanl slel'll obligalions.
"'c felt cons:dcl'ulJlc misgivings abollt Ollt' new affiliatioll, and worst
oi' all, we sufl'crcd ollrselves to believe thai 1\ranitoba would demand
of LIS less in lhe nature (If standards and all-year-round work than had
~Ic~hs'er. So among old sludenls Ihere was a lendency to dril'l along

for Ihe opening Illonlhs of Ihe College yedr, till suddenly il dawned
upon us thai :'\laniloba's rcquircmcnbj were hC<:lvy, and designed to

get Ihe besl concenlralion and though I from us. We correcled our
misigh-inp-s before the second term was well under way, and there
was a willingness and eagerncss to labout" and perspire under the

recognized worthy banner of Ihe Universily of Manitoba.
Second, the lIew affiliation brought temporary disorganization

to our long-cstablished syslem of extra-curricular activities. Clubs
hased around a special subject interest. i.c"

English, Economics.

French, JIislo",' and Science were fOl'ccd 10 disband. Amid Ihe first
('onfusioll this-development seemed a lamentable annoyance, until
it was secil as a wondcrful opportunit~f to rc-organize and integratc
a~tivitics, The pl'OCCSS of integration made real hendway. and it is
('xpecled that for ncxt year a few -major c1uhs wiJl scrve interests
fOl'l11el'ly satisfied hya variety of clubs with n duplicate mcmbership.

FUl'lhel', Ihere was a nalunol opening for Brandon and the University
of ~!:Jniloba 10 engage in joinl aclivilies. The S.c.~l. led the way with
all exchange of meetings, and a week end retreat attended by eight
\\'innipeg: S.C, :\I('rs; also the way was opened for Brandon students
II allcnd Ihe Suring Camp of Ihe l'ni"ersily S.C.M. The Debaling
t'nion of the l'nivenjit" showed a kcC'n interest to have Brandon

Il~lrlicip lie in inler-faniliy debates. and alihou'lh it was impossible
to do so this yenr, future participation is assured, Therc is no reason.
morcovcr. why such co-opcration aud joint acti\'ity should not

spread 10 Alhletics. to Ihe work of Ihe Student Assemblies, 10 Drama
and olher inlerests.
It was a pleasurc to have Presidenl Smilh visil the College on
lwo occasions, and gi\'c indication of decp interest in the efforts
~nd contribulion of Ihe College 10 higher educalion in south-weslel'll
~Ianitoba, As ever the wutc'hword js, and will be, "Education crown-

ed with reverence,"

Message from the Dean
Academically this has been rather a difficult year in Brandon
College. The old, happy affiliation wilh Mc:\laster had 10 he hroken,
and a new one fanned with the l'ni"ersily of Maniloba. At "ery
short notice we had 10 adopt new courses, new texis, new standards
--with what success remains 10 be known. 'The absence of mid-yen!"
I('s(s in Ihe Senior Division leaves liS "cry much like a ship at sea in
a continued fog; we know where we want to go, but arc not Ycr~'
sure how far we have gone.
Amid all difficulties and confusions a "aliant, and quile successfnl effort has been made 10 preser"e and de"elop Ihe old aims and
idcals for which the College has always slood. t\rler Ihis fi"sl year
of rather difficult adjuslments we arc "cry hopeful Ihal whcn Ihc
old spirit has adapted iLscJf to new condilions, then as ever, "Brandon will shine."

From the Dean of Women
Il is with a scnsc of gratification not untingcd with sadness that
we bid Farcwell and say Godspced to the mem])crs of Class ':.19 ",
thcy go forth from College halls to makc their way, find thcir niche
and makc thcir contribution to thc world of today.
\\'c have watched with interest their development and progress
as they I",,'c wo,'en thcir bit in thc warp alld woof of thc tapestry
thal is I'Brandon College". And while we congratulate them upon
achicvjn~ their ohjccLi"c of Graduation, we regret the severance of
tics whell the "places that knew them shall know them no marc".

Classes havc graduated from Brandon Collcgc under more auspicious circumstanccs, but may it bc that Ihe struggle and the sacrifices madc to cnsurc the continuance of their Alma Mater will resuil
in strengthening the fibres of their purpose I
in the words of our
College song-"Ncvcl' know defeat".
It has hcell said that the "value of nil educution lies in the
struggle 10 get iI'·. The bringing 10 heal' of these setf same qualities
in the I)" \I Ie of Life is the key to success.

\Ve feel sure that the members of class '39 will be ever mindful
of the record of Ihe manner in which Ihey undertook their responsibilities Ihroughout Ihe College days, and will maintain Ihe same,

reduced to a membership of three due to the disappearance of special

Canadian Student Assembly, paid a two days' visil 10 Ihe College
and addressed several meelings on the topic "China's Story Today".
Then, throughoul lhe second term Ihere was lhe :\'alional Scholarship Campaign. A commillee of len formed Ihe local Scholarship

The Assembly's activity was brought to a close with the working oul of a definite cOlIslituLion. The (.'onslitulion calls for a pre-

thaI makes any man Inlly greal.

Diary of a Freshette of '38-'39
Sepl. 15th. Deal' Diary: I'm jusl going 10 lell you the thing'
nearest and dearesl to my hearl. I jusl know College life will be too
full 10 relate every lillie delail.
Sepl. 15th. Deal' Diary: I know it's going 10 be as thrilling as
I thoughl il would be. You know science nevel' appealed 10 me before, bul after sludying the calendHr with the professors, I've decided
maUls. and chemistry will be on my course. They're wonderful!
Ocl. lsI. Deal' Diary: He's perfect! and so was the Freshman's
reception. I've mel so many people tonight but none will ever mean

as much to me as Percival does.

Ocl. 61h. Deal' Diary: This terrible week of weHring no makeup, hail' tucked in and clothes on back-Io-fronl, is so hard on a person of my type, but il made no difference to Percival.
Ocl. 7th. Deal' Diary: Oh I wish Eghert were here! Mosl men
are so fickle! Why was Percival cast opposite thai Sylvia (he used
!o tell me he never went for red-heads) in the skil the seniors 1'01'ped on Ihe freshies. The College paper said it was the besl freshmen's lit in years but to nlC it meant only disillusionment.
Ocl. 131h. Deal' Diary: The whole day off fo,' sports! Nearly
evel')' one look part in Ihcm and even the Faculty played in the ball
tournament against the Main Executive. One of our girls came first
in the high jump and I played dodge;balJ 100. P.S.-Pereival sat on
the sRme log as Sylvia nt the weinel' roast ::-uound the bonLiI'C.

Ocl. 151h. Dear Diary: Men are so perverse! At the S.C.M. hike
this afternoon, the men spent all their time hunting wood, and left
us girls to make the coffee all by ourselves. Tho sing-song was nice
II1Il ii's not the same when the boys pay absolutelyol no attention to
yOll.

Ocl. 281h. Deal' Diary: Being a man-haler, I didn't bother 10
get a costume for the Hallowe'en parly lonighl so when \Villie did
ask me yesterday p.m. I was in such a muddle! It was most fun
yet! Everylhing was so natural, even the Mastel' of Ceremonies
dressed as a Co-Ed seemed quile nat"ral. P.S.-\Villie's nice.
7.30 p.m. Xov. 41h. Dear Diary: It may be a mystery party bul
Ihe boys did,,'t need 10 keep il a mystery to the last minule ,I' 10
whom th~y were inviting, and Ulen Percival, of all people!
Xov. 5th. Deal' Diary: Scavenger hunt!! All the way to the hospital for a signed piece of adhesive tape-oh my feet! To re,ul'll and
find Willie with Sylvia--oh my heart! So Ihat's why Percival asked
me.

~ov. 18th. Deal' Diary: Drama night, and I played the part of
the swc::t, home-loving wife. Our year didn't win the Iii shield but
I don't know how mallY limes people mentioned how well James

and I suited our parts. Hc was my husband in tbc play. Hc h,,,
askcd mc already to go to Ihe formal Christmas party.
Xo\,. 25. DcaI' Diary: Our first formal party! A cors~lgc and an

e\'ening dress! There wercn't nearly enough dances 10 go around all
ihc boys who askcd mc but I did havc onc witb the swclI ~Iaster of
Ceremonies. James is a perfecL dancer and we learlled a lot or fillip
steps of Our own. Oh Diary, ii's not ·'.J3IllCS" any longer. On our

Jan. 13. DcaI' Dia!'y: Oh, 1'111 so tired! It was so hoi ill men's

You kllow it was a backward party and I called for Jimmie, cxch:lIlgcd his dances and even hought his cigarettes. lie made a d3l'!lIlg girl and it was funny how he got all his dances hooked so
quickly.

Jan. 27th. DcaI' Diary: Hockey is such a thrilling sport! Jimmie
'.'ys Ihal after thcir exhihition tonight against St. Jamcs, that Brandon ought to go a long way. He said thc goalie was outstanding but
re311y he nevcr sccmed to be doing anything. I thought the two fellows in the white sweatel's wel'c the only ones that worked \'cry
hard, and they didn't cven have sticks. I was so glad Dr. and i\11·s.
Evans gave us the IO\'cly lunch aftcrwards, 'cause Jimmie had intimated wc wcre coming straight home after the game.

Fch. fith. DcaI' Diary: II's so tOllcly with Jimmic away, but the
haskethall team just couldn't do without him in \Vinnipeg. I knew
he'd he the OlltSt~lIl(lil1g forward on the floor. He W::lS right too, when

hc said thc gi..ts woutdn't likely win but the uoys would.

Feb. 10th. Dr31' DiHI"Y: I'm wOITied! Jimmie has all'eady sent
me a lovely valentine but then at our valentine dance, evcry tJmc I
tumed around, he secmcd 10 be dancing with Lorna or Suc. II's funny
lhat they're always so nice in front of me, then always tl'ying to im-

p"css)immie on Ihe side. 11'11 take morc than that beforc Jimmic and

r pa,·t.

Fcb. 23rd. Dear Diary: I wasn't in it, but "Scvcn Keys to Bald1>3t("" was awfully good anyway. Jimmie and I went both nights.
Pel'sonally, white ermine isn't m)" type IJul the way Jirnmic talked

aboul it you'd think it was somcthing prclly wonderful. Rcally, [
thought the men lookcd just like re31 gangstcrs and it's so,·t of thrilling 10 know you actually know them.

Mar. 4th. DcaI' Diary: J wish I could tell you how cxciting this

gol in! You kllO\\', for some reason or other, when the new officers
were being installed, I couldn't help hut think of thai time Egbert
