HAIL OUR COLLEGE
Hail our college out in the golden west,
Take our fealty now unto thee confessed.
Be our Alma Mater now and forever blessed:
Hail! Hail! Brandon forever-Hail.
Through rich valleys flows the Assiniboine,
Where sunsets golden, prairies as golden join.
Round thy fair prospects fondly our memories twine.
Hail! Hail! Brandon forever-Hail.

THE SICKLE '49

Dr. Evans' Message
For The Sickle ~ 1949
Greetings and good wishes to the members of the Graduating Class of 1949
How quickly the time has gone since you entered Brandon College
to begin your climb up the slope of so-called higher learning' Your experiences along the way no doubt have been many and varied. You have
felt the pressure of work and you have enjoyed the pleasure of relaxation.
You have experienced the strain of anxiety and you have felt the exhilaration of wholesome fun. On the one hand you h.ve wrestled with problems, struggled with doubts and fought against frustration and despair,
and on the other hand you have experienced the satisfaction of accomplishment, the joy of friendship, the pride of attainment and the inspiration of truth.
We have watched your development with pleasure and marked your
progress with wholesome pride. We congratulate you on the milestone
you have reached and now as you leave the somewhat protected environment of your academic pursuits to live in a world of stern reality,
we want you to know that your Alma Mater has placed her confidence
in you. She sincerely trusts that health and happiness may be your portion
and that because of the mental development you have made under her
guidance and, because of the qualities of life and character you have gained
under her influence, success may attend your efforts.
It is our sincere wish that while at Brandon College you have gained

enough knowledge to keep you humble, enough courage to make you
unafraid, enough wisdom to keep you sweet in adversity, and sympathetic
in prosperity, and enough vision to enable you to steer a clear course in
keeping with the principles of Truth, Honour, and Justice.

THE SICKLE '49

From the Editors
In presenting the 1948-49 edition of the Sickle, we the editors would
like to thank our very competent staff. It was entirely due to their efforts
that this publication ever saw the light of day.
To the members of the student body we wish to extend our appreciation, not only for their contributions, but also for their prompt response
to our requests for material. Such co-operation goes a long way in making
the editorial work much lighter.
In compiling this publication the editors and staff have tried to bear
in mind that the students wish to see all phases of the year's activities
recounted. We have done our best in this respect, but realize that there
are unintentional omissions of which we hope you will be tolerant.
We are indeed proud of having added yet another Sickle to the history
of Brandon College's publications.
Iris Schoch and Ivey Graham.

Class Hymn
Our Alma Mater, thou doest seem
To those who know thy halls,
To share thy majesty serene
With each who on thee calls.
In future years, in life's stern way,
We'll oft in memories fair,
Recall the years of toil and play,
And ever praise thee there.
Swift years have pass'd and we have learn'd
Our lessons well from thee,
Thou hast inspired in every breast
Hope, faith and charity.
As of thee now we take our leave
We pledge ourselves to bear,
The standard of our loyalty
o Alma Mater fair!

Class Yell
Crasher! dasher! with a scream!
Men of mould, we're on the beam.

THE SICKLE '49

The Class of 1949
The class of '49 looks to the future with probably more hope than
graduating classes have for many years. There is no depression and no
war with which to cope. Canada, as a relatively young country, is able to
look ahead to prosperity and expansion. We can be a part of that future
greatness and can make our contribution to its construction.
A sadness however, pervades this hopefulness. Within a year the
members of our class will be scattered. The unity and close companionship
which we, as a class, have enjoyed, will exist only in the minds of its
individual members.
We constitute one of the largest graduating classes which has ever
left Brandon College in the last ten years. More than one-third of us
are veterans. Their presence has given an air of maturity and purposefulness both to our class and to college life in general. Yet fundamental
seriousness has not detracted from their contribution of humour and
good will which are definite characteristics of our class. Co-operation as
against faction is the key-word to student interaction this year, and much
credit is due to the Senior and Lady Sticks.
The program of expansion has become a reality owing to our effort
in stimulating renewed interest. During our four years at Brandon College
we have been active in the Student Publications, the S.C.M., the Glee
Club and Athletics. We have aimed at a balance between curricular and
extra-curricular and trust that the benefit to ourselves has been felt,
through our leadership, in the entire student body.
We leave our Alma Mater with mixed feelings: regrets at severing
the associations of the past four years are coupled with hopes that our
training and accomplishments will bring us success in the years to come.
To Dr. Evans, to the Honorary President of our year, and to the faculty,
we pay our tribute.

"

"Most men eddy about
Here and there-eat and drink,
Chatter and love and hate,
Gather and squander, are raised
Aloft, are hurled in the dust,
Striving blindly, achieving
Nothing."
In these few lines Matthew Arnold expresses a tragic reality-the
futility of the purposeless life. Are you "striving blindly, achieving nothing"? How many of us today are leading such lives? Too many, I fear.
Life's journey is steep and difficult. Only a few succeed in braving
the storms. Many of us strive for our own happiness and security. We
wish to satisfy only our own wants, desires and goals. We leave the other
fellow to make his own way. But our goals will mean nothing, nay, can
mean nothing if they are reached selfishly.
The world today needs more than ever a spirit of goodwill and friendship. We must follow in the footsteps of our Saviour by leading a purposeful and unselfish life. While striving for our goal we must raise not only
ourselves but others, by giving them faith, courage and guidance when
they falter or grow weary.
The future holds so much for us. Let us make the most of it. We have
strayed in the past; now we must hold a clear vision of the future. We
will need imagination, and courage too. Through vision we will see things
as they really are; through imagination we will dream greatly of things
that may be; through courage we will act boldly to make our dreams come
true. We must study the faults and weaknesses of our past efforts and
strive to build a more successful future.
We have learned through experience that in serving others we find
the greatest happiness. As individuals we are unimportant, but as true
friends we are of invaluable worth. Much time and effort will be required.
"Resolve to be thyself; and know, that he
who finds himself, loses his misery!"

As we move into the final year of our studies at Brandon College we
look forward with increased courage. Having won seventy-five per cent
of the battle we are reminded more of the pleasant portions of the past
year (s) than of the struggles we have encountered.
Class of '50 has been especially active in student organizations this
year. No less than five of our number served on the Main Executive and
the elections for next year have again called upon us to provide our full
share of leadership. In the fields of sports, dramatics, journalism-and
social activity, too, we have rendered a good account. It may indeed be
said, "We had a stirring finger in every pie."
Our unanimous a ttitude to the coming year is a determination to make
it our best one.

THE SICKLE '49

On Security
(Craig Ferguson)
One of my favorite quotations is from Macbeth, where the witch,
Hecate says:
"security

Is mortal's chiefest enemy."
When I apply this to everyday life, I find that it is one of the
truest lines ever penned. I once won a curling match because my opponent
was over confident in a six point lead in the second last end. I remembered
this line and applied it to his position. It worked like a charm. I also remember the time I forgot it when playing against a team of "novices" from
St. Michael's Academy!
I have seen this work in other games such as Chess. In rash overconfidence, we will zealously press an opponent, only to walk blithely into
a fatal trap.
This principle works equally well in our studies. We often think we
have one subject well in hand, and concentrate on others. When exams
roll around, we see our mistake too late to correct it. I found this out in
second year English, when I didn't review Swift, as I felt I knew it well
enough. I received a jolt when I opened the paper and found the first
question on Swift. I wasn't as well prepared as I thought I was. (I still
can't spell houyhn-horses!)
Therefore, I can only suggest that you learn that short line, and, when
you are in a tight spot, as I was in that curling game, be on the watch
for carelessness in your opponent; you often find it. However, when we
are on top, we must watch for it in ourselves. We must never be overconfident in our position. It is often hard not to feel secure in an undertaking,
yet for our own safety, we must not feel unduly secure. It killed Macbeth.

Class Party
On the eve of February 5th, 1949, a rollicking crowd of Second Year
merrymakers tramped gaily out to "Jack's Slide" for the greatest of all
events ... a toboggan party!
Undaunted by the efforts of the male students to eliminate all females
with heaps of snow, the entire party reached the Slide in a fair physical
condition. Accompanied by the chaperones, Miss G. H. MacNeill and Professor E. Savage, the class took to the "little" slide first. After a few
bumpy trials, everyone was conditioned for the supreme test-that looming, steep, but definitely rocky "big" run.
Three hours of tobogganing later, a bedraggled, limping and absolutely
subdued Second Year class trudged wearily back to the Alma Mater to
partake of weiners and buns.
For some strange reason there was a tendency for the students to eat
their lunch-standing up! The latter state was especially conducive to
dancing. Consequently, with the aid of the P.A. System, the girls' clubroom was transformed into a ballroom for the rest of the evening. As the
twelve o'clock curfew tolled, a weary cry of "Fifty-one, fifty-one", arose
from the depths of Brandon College.
It was only the "Stoodents" of the Class of '51, preparing to wend their
way homeward after a very exciting party.

Spring Fever
( Barton Bruce)
Came the first of May-and there he was, walking dazediy along Rosser Avenue.
Not that all college students aren't in a daze at this time of year, but our hero had
fallen into that deeper coma known as "post-exam paralysis of the brain." And besides
the usual money and female worries troubling his pea-sized brain there was a much
greater, far more sinister threat to his comfortable existence. For our hero-little Joe
Blow of Science II was looking for a job.
Not that he wanted a job; far from it. That morning, however, his father has issued an ultimatum: uGet out and work!"
The staccato burst of a pneumatic drill interrupted his deep thoughts. Glancing up,
he saw a group of men working around a big hole in the street. A cheery voice hailed
him over the noise of the workmen.
"Hi Joe!"

Our hero blinked, refusing to believe his eyes. For there, out in the middle of the
street stood his friend Bill holding onto some huge contraption which was emitting that
horrible noise which had aroused Joe from his reveries. Joe gasped. Surely this was
not Bill, that well dressed man-about-college, the secret desire of all the freshettes, doing manual labor! Finally he gained enough composure to ask.
"Watch doin' Bill?"

His friend hastened to explain to him that he was working for a living. Asked how
he had secured this position, Bill told Joe he had gone to the local slave market, commonly known as the Employment Office, for summer work. Now this had rather unnerved our hero, this morbid sight of a college student working. Nevertheless, Joe. his
father's words still ringing in his ears, set out for Eleventh Street, firm in his determination to get a job.
As he neared the door of the office he squared his shoulders, set his hat at a
daring angle, and walked jauntily up to the counter, assuming his man-of-the-world
attitude. However, after ten minutes of waiting for the girls of the office to decide
whose turn it was to wait on him, Joe had lost his composure. Finally one of them
came up. handed him ten different government forms, told him to fill each one out in
triplicate and that Mr. X would be with him as soon as he wasn't so busy. Joe looked
around for some man who looked busy, failed to observe one such out of the thirty-five

employees, so shrugged and started on form HG32964 'h. One hour later, a somewhat disillusioned Joe attracted the attention of Mr. X, who by now had completely finished
filing and cleaning his finger nails.
Glancing over the forms Mr. X began, "So you're interested in Geology, eh? Great
subject! I was always interested in insects, myself!"

Joe felt like telling him he didn't know a chaleopyrite from coprolite, but reconsidered, after a moment's thought. He saw himself the head of a geological survey, or an
adviser to an oil company or the head man in a new mine, and didn't want to jeopardize
his chances. Mr. X continued:
"Yes, I think we have something for a man of your ability. You can drive, of
course?--well, you take this card. The address is on it. I'm sure you will enjoy your
new job."
Joe, in wild enthusiasm, was out the door before he remembered to read the card.
When he saw it his face fell. It read:
"Truck driver-Polar Ice Co.-48 hour week-etc."
"Oh wen," said Joe, "better than nothing. Want any ice, folks?"

integral part of college life. We feel we deserve this respect, for we have
played our part and contributed our bit toward making the year 1948-49
a most happy and successful one.
We could list our achievements, but while we look back on our first
year at college with a warm glow of pride, we prefer to look ahead. To
reminisce is to call up pleasant memories as well as fruitful ones, but in
this modern age of advancement we feel we must look and plan ahead
remembering that today's present is tomorrow's past.
So with this in mind, and being grateful to Brandon College for a
wonderful Freshie Year, we are looking to the other years that shall be
spent here. We realize that "a little learning is a dangerous thing" and
that a certificate tied up in a fancy ribbon does not signify that we will
know all there is to know; but we have started on the long road of knowledge and wisdom.
To Brandon College we shall always be indebted for this start.

We of the Grade Twelve class of Brandon College will remember this
year of '48-'49 with pride in our achievements and in the experience that
we have gained.
We have learned valuable lessons in co-operation and teamwork and
in carrying responsibility. Next year there will be some of us who will
be back again, bearing an even greater share of responsibility in student
affairs.
The class has been ably represented in many College activities, but
foremost among these was the Major Production in which Grade Twelve
figured prominently. The majority of the "Beaux and Belles" in the production were drawn from our ranks.
Looking back we can truly say that we have enjoyed this past year,
and have profited from its experience. Those of us who will be back are
looking forward eagerly to the new College year of '49-'50.

The Finance Board
This year, under the efficient management of Gordon Sefton, the Finance Board handled successfully a still larger budget than last year; and

once again showed a surplus at the end of the year. This year's budget
was larger than that of J 947-48 because of the greater number of students
enrolled.
With hopes and prospects for as large a student body next year, we
wish to extend to the new board our sincere wishes for every possible
success.
The members of the retiring board include: Professor E. Savage,
Faculty Advisor; Gordon Sefton, Manager; Claudia Dickey, Secretary;
Roy Brown, Literary Board; Kay Hyndman, Atnletic Board; Harold Kemp,

The Athletic Board
It is the duty of the Athletic Board to organize and supervise all student athletic activities.

This year, under the capable management of Don Sumner, the board did a very efficient
job of directing all sports, including hockey, basketball, bowling, golfing and tennis. Perhaps
most interest was shown in the Brandon College Caps, which this year participated in the city
league. The basketball games with Regina College were also enthusiastically supported. Special
interest was shown in bowling, because of the cup presented to the winning team.
The AtWetic Board for 1948-49 feel that much progress has been made in bringing atWetics
into their own at Brandon College. The members would like to wish the succeeding board the
best of success in 1949-50.
Members of the Board for 1948-49: Don Sumner, Senior Men's Athletic Representative; Marg.
Crowe, Senior Ladies' AtWetic Representative; Mug. Wilson, Junior Ladies' Representative; Ernie
Shaw, Junior Men's Representative; Kaye Hyndm,n, Secretary-Treasurer; Marjory Fleming, Lady

Board of Publications
The appearance of this edition will mark the end of a year of intense and, we hope, successful
activity on the part of numerous members of the student body. In order to avoid partiality, no
names will be mentioned here, but the reader will be requested to think kindly and gratefully
of those pests who button-holed him in the corridor with a request for an article for the Quill,
a subscription to the Handbook, an order for Christmas Cards, or a Summary of Activities for
the Sickle. To all those who contributed of their time and effort to ensure the success of those
Publications, please accept this expression of hearty thanks from your Board of Publications.
May this Board, too, have the pleasure of extending to the members and adherents of all
other organizations within the Students' Association its sincere congratulations. Their accomplishments should mark forty-nine as an outstanding milestone in the history of Brandon College.

The Literary Board
In view of the object of this board, to promote cultural interests within the student body,
1948-49 may well be hailed as a truly successful year.
The higWight of the year's work was, of course, the major production, a variety concert,
llCollege Capers of '49".
The board achieved success in other lines as well. The Glee Club, which, it might be added,
co-operated with the Dramatic Club to make the "Capers" such a memorable achievement, was
expanded remarkably under the able direction of Lome Watson, Director of the Music Departn1ent.

The College radio broadcasts presented to the public different phases of life on the Brandon
College campus. There have been College radio programs in previous years but 1948-49 set the
record as the first year that the broadcasts ha ve been run regularly through both terms. Congratulations, Joe Cordingley!
A College orchestra, an activity which attracted little attention previously, was instituted
early in the year under the leadership of Paul McKinnon. How proud Brandon College students
were as their own orchestra effectively performed in the "Capers", as well as at various social
functions throughout the year!
In addition, considerable effort was expended in connection with the Debating Club, one
of the most active groups during the first term, and with "Le Cercle Francais".
It is with satisfaction and not a little pride that the Literary Board surveys its progress
made in 1948-49, but it is our sincerest wish that the succeeding board may achieve even greater
progress in 1949-50.

The Student Christian Movement
This year has found the S.C.M. activities many and varied.
We held our annual "Get-Acquainted Hour" the first Sunday evening of the college term, and later on our Fall Hike in spite of
the threatening snowflurries. We also held a Christmas party and
a Valentine party for the children of "The Maples".
A new venture undertaken this year was the assisting with
church services at the local jail.
ELEANOR MURRAY

World Student Christian Federation Sunday saw representatives of our S.C.M. group in many Brandon churches, and a
Special Student Service was conducted in St. Paul's Church.
Perhaps the most successful group of the year was the Study
Group on the Christian Faith. This was under the leadership of
Reverend N. Mercer.
Our regular meetings were held every second Sunday evening.
These meetings centered around various discussions such as The
Christian in the University, Politics and Christianity, the Mormon
Religion, etc.
Among the special speakers the S.C.M. has brought to Brandon
this year were: Gerry Hutchinson, National S.C.M. secretary; Reverend James Robinson, Harlem, N.Y., and Dr. H. Y. Chang from
China.

I
The Debating Club
Learning rules of procedure and the niceties of preparation
and delivery of public speeches should not be overlooked by the
college student. They are the streamlining which make our thoughts
telling and effective when we rise to speak. The Debating Club
aims to provide opportunities to develop this form of expression.
This year the members of the club showed a great deal of
interest in public speaking rather than debating proper. Hence
much effort was spent on prepared and impromptu speeches.
Meetings were held every two weeks at which members gave
5-minute prepared speeches and later impromptu speeches. Much
interest was shown in the course given by Mrs. G. R. Rowe entitled, "Public Speaking".
May the succeeding Club be successful in their undertakings
of the coming year.

The Glee Club
The Brandon College Glee Club held its first regular meeting on
October 18th, 1948. At this meeting the following officers were elected:
President, Elva Cook; Vice-President, Claudia Dickey; Secretary, Shirley
Pentland; Librarian, Craig Ferguson, and Music Copy Convenor, Donna
Hunsaker.
Under the able direction of Professor Lome Watson, the Glee Club
enjoyed a successful year. During the year the Glee Club acquired a
supply of new music which was used at the meetings held on Mondays
from 4.30 to 6 and on Thursdays from 5 to 6. Of the forty-six members
on the roll call, there were usually about two-thirds at the meetings.
The Glee Club broadcast over CKX three limes, took the last chapel
before Christmas and performed in the Major Production, "College Capers
of '49" on February 17th and 18th, 1949.

The Co~Ed Association
The Co-Ed Association has once again passed through a very successful year. Its aim is to
promote good will among the women students. and aid in student activities.
The most successful achievement of the year was the "Spinsters Spree" held in the Normal
School on ovember 12th. Marg Crowe, who proved to be a capable convener, did much to make
this party a success. It is worth noting that the Co-Ed Association kept up its tradition of having one of the best functions of the year.
The Executive for the past year has been as follows: Honorary President, Miss MacNeill;
President, Marjorie Fleming; Vice-President, Elva Cook; ~ecretary, Pat Magnacca; Treasurer,

During the college year 1948-49, the Sigma Mu organized two
major parties, namely the "Hallowe'en Masquerade" and the Installations program in the spring. Both of these were carried
through in the best Sigma Mu tradition. As the Installation events
are recorded elsewhere in the Sickle, we will recount the doings
of the masquerade which was held on Captain Kidd's Normal School
Island.
Captain Kidd (Prof.) and his bloody crew took over the auditorium and turned it into a fantastic Treasure Island, complete
with treasure chests, rum kegs (empty), bleached skeletons and
shining cannon. During the course of the evening the officers
(faculty) of the good ship "Brandon College", who had been captured by Captain Kidd's men, were tried, duly sentenced, and
punished for their many crimes against humanity. Captain Ivan

received his heavy sentence for enticing one Long John Watson
from the holy city and compelling him to perform on the higli
"C's" at Brandon College.

Izenberken, who was tried in proxy, was accused of discovering too many strange roots, ranging from imaginary to cube roots.
He was also charged with attempting to cube infinity. Ben McVay,
the ship's purser, received his just rewards for his persistent habit
of relieving students of all spare cash in their possession. These
last named villains were forced to feed each other cream while
blindfolded. Needless to say, much of the delicacy was externally
rather than internally applied.
The big drop of the evening came when stevedor Symbalisty,
who had been tried and sentenced by Captain Kidd on the charge
of desertion to the faculty, was hung by the neck until dead (or
almost so).
Among the members of the Sigma Mu meriting mention in
despatches for their services that weird evening were: Captain
Kidd, Chief Bonisbergen, First Mate J errett, Crewcut Cantwell,
Deadeye Dunn and Mangler Medd-the latter two for providing
ship's stores with plentiful supply of hard tack and cider.

Field Day
Kinsmen Memorial Stadium was the scene of the Brandon College
Track and Field Meet held October 2nd. It was the first such meet in
two years, and the large entry made it a decided success.
Over eighty students took part, and a new point system was introduced
to determine the aggregate winners. Faye Vane won the ladies title with
25 points, while Jack Medd amassed 41 points to take top men's honors.
At a dance held that evening, Dr. Evans and Don Sumner presented
ribbons to the winners. The Faculty Cup, reserved for the class with the
greatest number of points, went to Second Year with 137 points.
A Softball tournament was also part of the day, and the ladies title
was won by Grade XII, with Second Year taking the men's crown.

Basketball
Basketball at Brandon College this year took the form of two games
in inter-collegiate competition. Regina College was the opposition on both
occasions.
In the first game, played at Regina, the Saskatchewan team emerged
victorious by a 48-32 score, and they made a clean sweep of the series in
the return game at Brandon with a 35-23 win.
Despite losing both games, the College team is to be commended on
the fine showing, as Regina College has one of the strongest basketball
squads in Saskatche'.van. The Brandon team's activity was confined to a
couple of practices and these two games.
Members of the team were: George Coleman, Bud Thompson, Johnny
Miller, Fin Campbell, Jack Muir, Gene Plewes, Blair Mac Rae, Al Tyler
and Art Nicol. Don Sumner was team manager, and E. J. "Curly" Tyler
was coach.

Tennis
Tennis was a popular sport on the campus this year, and a large
number of students took advantage of the Kinsmen courts to participate
in the game.
The Ladies Tournament saw eleven entrants, from which Pat Hill
emerged with the singles title with 6-0, 6-0, wi ns over Joyce Tinline.
Barbara Cromarty was third, and Pat Magnacca fourth. Miss Hill combined with Gladys Coutts to take the doubles crown from Dorine Dennison and Pat Magnacca 8-6, 6-3.
Graham Hunt stood out in the Men's Tournament, reaching both
finals. He won the singles by virtue of 6-1, 6-2 victories over Don Irwin,
but teaming with Bruce Haskins in the doubles, that twosome went down
to defeat at the hands of George Redgate and Lloyd Henderson 6-4, 6-2.
Angus Juckes was third in the singles and Don Sumner fourth, while Art
Towgood and Blair MacRae were third in the doubles and Irwin and Sumner were fourth.
The Men's Tournament had twenty-two participants. Craig Ferguson
was convener.

Golf
Seventeen golfers took part in the College Golf Tournament played
over the City Golf Course.
Al Tyler won the title when he emerged victorious over three other
finalists. Tyler had a two over par 38, while Don Mackay had 42, Bob
Chapman 44, and Jerry Jerrett 46. These four reached the final brackets
by carding the four lowest scores for eighteen holes.
Jerry Jerrett won the Championship Flight with an 82, while Don
Irwin topped the First Flight with an 87. Harry George took top honors
in the Third Flight, firing 104.
Jerry J errett was convener.

Hockey
Hockey was the sport drawing the most attention at the college this
year. This was due to the participation of the Brandon College Caps in
the city "Big Five" Intermediate League.
Wednesday night was a colorful night at the Brandon Arena, when
the students, led by six appropriately garbed cheer leaders, gathered to
cheer their team on.
The first half of the schedule ended with the Caps in second place;
but the second half was a different story-the blue and gold crew fell right
out of the playoffs. They ended the schedule with four wins, one tie, and
eight losses. One can't say that they were in an easy league, as they had
such opposition as the Brandon Athletics, Wheat King Juveniles, Shilo
Army and Rivers R.C.A.F.
The annual hockey excursion was to Souris, and it was a great success. 125 students will verify this. The Caps lost their game to the locals
8 to 6 but a very enjoyable dance made up for thaI. In another exhibition
game, Carberry bowed to the College team to the tune of 4-3.
Don Sumner guarded the nets for the Caps, with Walt Askew on
hand in case of any mishap. Neil McKellar, Johnny Miller, Pete Hendry,
Bill Sutherland and Don Irwin made up the defence corps. Fin Campbell
centered the first line, and was flanked by Art Nicol and Graham Hunt.
The second line saw Harold Moffat centering Ernie Shaw and Jack Scott,
while yet a third line was composed of Harry George, Blair MacRae and
Murray Smith. Gus Juckes and Johnny McLean helped the Caps out on
two occasions.
Fin Campbell was also coach, while Mr. Hannah was manager, and
George Redgate was equipment manager. Al Tyler was an efficient trainer,
and Mr. Thordarson and Mr. Kitson completed the executive.
Team cheer leaders were Vel Trent, Bunny Fedoruk, Iris Boyd, Barbara Cromarty, Dorine Dennison and Jerry Jerretl.
The college rink was also the scene of the occasional girls and interyear game. One the whole it was a good year for hockey at Brandon College.

Bowling
On Saturday, March 12th, one of the most successful activities of the
year was completed as finals were held in the Brandon College Bowling
League. Co-operation, sportsmanship and the old college spirit were certainly displayed well and enthusiastically in this sport. Each Friday at
4.30 p.m., forty eager beginners tried their skill on the alleys, and although
their scores were not anything to write home about, the fun they had will
long be remembered by all who participated.

•

Outstanding bowlers of the year were Jack Scott and Art McMurdo
in the men's division, and Bev Myers and Shirley Pentland for the ladies.
Consolation awards went to Anne Russel and Doreen Knowlton for their
exemplary spirit in trying for higher scores.
The trophy which was donated to the league for y.early competition
and which aided a great deal in keeping interest in the league was captured by Jack Muir's quintette: Jack Scott, Gladys Shenner, Bob Chapman, Marilyn Jones and their able captain-Jack "Crunch" Muir. They
toppled the pins for a grand total of 2948. Runners up were Art McMurdo's
unlucky five. Besides the trophy, college crests will be awarded to Jack
Muir's team.
To all bowlers-your convenor wishes to express his sincere thanks
for your co-operation in making this year the best yet in bowling.

College Capers of '49
The college Major Production struck a distinctly different note this
year with a musical and dramatic review, "College Capers of '49", presented to City Hall audiences February 17th and 18th after having made
its debut in the Avalon Theatre at Souris the previous week.
The two-act performance included an original musicale "Soiree au
Printemps", two one-act plays presented by the Dramatic Club, selections
by the Glee Club, with musical interludes by Bruce McNeely, Paul McKinnon and Donna Hunsaker.
Literary Board President Lome Scott was Production Manager for
the entire show as well as choreographer and dance director. The plays,
"Rehearsal" and "The Uppin Arms Affair" were capably directed by Mrs.
D. Kitchen; the Glee Club program was under the direction of Lome
Watson, Music Director. Finley Campbell was the genial Master of
Ceremonies for the two performances, assisted by various comedians
whose entree-acts provoked much laughter from the audience.
The success of the show was due to the combined efforts of over
seventy members of the student body, truly an example of college enterprise and co-operation. Perhaps never before has so much original work
been done on a college production. Costumes and scenery were original
student endeavors. The college orchestra provided musical background
for the dance numbers, and intermission music. Arrangements were by
leader Paul McKinnon. Accompanists for the show were Eleanor Murray
and Ivan Rainey. In addition, stage and ligbting crews, make-up, property and costume committees, and business and publicity personnel contributed their efforts to the production.
In all "College Capers of '49", a vivid expression of the talent, ingenuity and spirit of enthusiasm prevalent in this year's student body,
presented another milestone in the long line of successful college Major
Productions.

Initiations
Slave traders with long moustaches and cruel whips! Negro mammies
with padding and blackened faces! Freshmen in red fannels and very little
else! A Queen and her princesses in their regal robes! All these diverse
objects were to be seen by the dozen around the staid portals of Brandon
College on the eventful afternoon of Friday, September 24.
This year we "sold" our Freshmen and Freshies to the highest bidder.
In order to put them on exhibition for "sale" purposes, they were all
attached to a long rope reminiscent of the slave trader's chains, and marched along the usual route through the streets of Brandon. There were
several additions to this route in the form of trips through some stores
along the way, much to the amazement of the shoppers.
An added diversion was provided by attacks with more or less antiquated eggs. The opinions of the Freshmen on this aspect of the proceedings have been carefully censored. The same might be said of the comments of a certain professor who found himself unexpectedly in the
line of fire.
At the head of the parade two likely looking slaves carried a huge
sign bearing the words, "Annual Sale of Brandon College Freshies". All
the Freshmen in the long line behind bore their names and their own
idea of their value in dollars and cents on signs on their backs. Other
Freshmen, more fortunate than their comrades were appropriately dressed
to represent traders.
A sound truck accompanied the parade around town, explaining the
proceedings to the spectators. The same truck also provided suitable march
tunes for the occasion, including our own "Blue and Gold March."
Last but certainly not least came the gaily-bedecked float carrying
the Freshie Queen Mona Corkish, the Princesses Edna Orchard, Rosa
Ziolkowski, and Gladys Shenner, and the crown-bearer, Joe Madionia.
After the exhausting march around town, all the students adjourned
to the Campus for some much needed food in the form of weinel'S and
coffee. Several hours later they reappeared (much changed in appearance, by the way), at the Esquire, for the Freshie Reception and Dance.
The entertainment was both musical and humorous. During the course
of the evening the Freshie Queen was officially crowned by Dr. Evans.
Lorne Scott was the convenor, and Florence Lyon was the capable Mistress of Ceremonies for the evening.
All thoroughly enjoyed the evening which was a very successful start
for the year's activities.

THE SICKLE '49

Installations
The lull before the storm took the form of a very quiet and respectable Main Executive meeting conducted before the assembled student
body. The old Main Executive, however, had hardly filed out before the
Sigma Mu started kicking the Maior Production all over the Chapel
stage.
Craig Ferguson deserves credit for suggesting it as a secret conference-that a good lampooning of "College Capers of '49" would make an
excellent vehicle for entertainment and the sneaking-in of the results of
the Elections. An idea is one thing and co-operation is another-but the
Sigma Mu proved that when working together the results are worthwhile.
All present that evening of February 26th watched a rip-roaring show.
The boys put all they had-and some things they borrowed-into
their antics. There was the Opening Chorus, the Dance of the Sugar
Plum Fairies led by Jack Muir (!) and Lois Lamont's play "The Good
Old Days". And for the final item the "Glee Club" sang, conducted by that
mad devotee of classical music, Lorrington Swatson Ferguson.
The show was a howling success. The audience spent the better part
of an hour emitting one window-rattling howl after another. Of course
the "Jilted Knights" just had to poke fun at a few of the professors-and
still think that yolk on Prof. Thordarson was rather rich.
Following the slap-stick the new Executive was sworn in and Steve
and Marj solemnly and graciously surrendered the symbols of their offices
to their worthy successors. Dancing and lunch were enjoyed in the dining
room and the auctioning of the signs netted the 1.S.S. $54.00.

The Graduation Banquet
The annual banquet to the graduating class was held March 4 in the
Prince Edward Hotel, where thirty-three members of Class '49 were the
guests of the undergraduates.
Mr. Thordarson, Honorary President of the graduating class and Mrs.
Thordarson were the chaperones. Host and hostess for the evening were
Finley Campbell and Barbara Cromarty. Margaret Gerow was chairman
of the committee.
One of the highlights of the evening was the nominations to the
Honor Society of Brandon College. Marjory Fleming, Stephen Symbalisty,
and Lloyd Henderson were the nominees.
The toast to the graduating class was made by Ted Cantwell, '50, and
replied to by Gerry Sanders, '49. Edith Laycock, '34, proposed the toast
to Alma Mater and Professor Wong replied. A toast to the ladies was
offered by Don Hilton, '52. Pat Magnacca made the reply.
Entertainment was provided in the form of a piano selection by Frank
Woodmass.
The remainder of the evening was taken up with dancing. The entertainment was enjoyed by all and provided a fitting climax to the year's
activities.

"TODAY is your day and mine;
the only day we have; the day

in which we play our part. What
our part may signify in the great
whole we may not understand; but
we are here to play it, and now is
our time. This we know: it is part
of action, not whining. It is a part
of love, not cynicism. It is for us
to express love in terms of human
hel pfulness. This we know, for we
have learned from sad experience
that any other course of life leads

'Stop'!-which he did. So after a
while I caught on, and I quit saying
it."

Bev.-"How do you like my room

"Certainly. The telephone rings."
