OUR PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
Firsl of all leL me Lhank ~·ou for the privilege of saying a bricf word
La the readers of the Sickle. The opporluniLy Lhus aIfOl·ded, J aSSurc you,
is highly prized.
Madame Chiang Hai-shek in a rccent broadcast gave expression to

Ihe thoughL Lhal while we live in the presenL ever planning fOl· the fuLme,
we conslantlylearn from Ihe pas!. The LruLh of Lhis slalemenl applies to
all, but more particularly, it seems to me, to those who arc privileged
thcse days 10 he regarded as sLudents.
Even in the quiet times of peace the futul'e is always unknown, but
with the corning of war and world strife the blank unknown begins La

so bristle with uncerlainly thaL we aL limes would gladly turn back upon
Olll' way. It is a law of life, however, that we never turn back. Indeed, the
universe HscH' has evolved lIpon Lhal principle.
That heiJlg the case, I sllrongly urge that as we face the future with

aJI its perplexing uncertainLy we do so not as cowards with craven hearts,
aJraid of rebuffs, nor yet as I'ad.isls or eXlremists endeavoul'ing La refashion the world accord.ing to OllL' notions, but rather as. just and upright
young nlen and women with a wholesome oullook on life founded on
wisdom derived from past experience, supported by courage of conviction,
sll"engUlened by faith in the verrlies of a moral universe, and inspired
by a sane hope in the daily prospecL Lhat comes \\~Lh each new dawn.
ThaL right will ultimalely triumph Over wrong, we firmly believe.
Jt would be folly, however, and ullworthy of our manhood and womanhood to assumc U,aL the foes of freedom and human liherty will be put
down and Lhis triumph broughl about by some mysLerious power acting
in a catastrophic way. The greal achievement loward which we look and
for which we pray musL be regarded as a praclical objeclive 10 which we,
individually and colleclively, relate ourselvcs in an elfective manner.
Toward this end, may we make our very best contribulioo Witll steadfast zcal and undaunted courage.

TO THE GRADUATING CLASS
The curtain has fallen on Ihe las1 scenes of your college
days; now you IllLlst become spectators of a Jife in which you

have been accuslomed 10 play an aclive role. Il is bard 10 'reaUze
thaI wilhin a few shorl year's, youl' banner, cUsplayed al Ihe
annual aJumni banquet, will have become as Illllch of a clIriosity
and rclic of antiquity to Ihe youthful graduates of that day, tiS
U,e banner of the class of '32, to which I belong, is to you now.
l\Icanwhilc, you will have become acUvcly engaged in the pur-

suil of goals as yet hidden in Ihe future.
When the words, "1 admit you to Ihe degree of Bachelor
of Arts in McMaster University and all the rights and privileges
pertaining therelo", were pronounced over my yOllthIuJ head,
my classmates and I had lillie thoughl of adcUng the words.
"and responsibilities", to the Chancellor's words. To you, a
class born in warlime, that phrase has a much more vital significance, and many of you have already planned how you will
discharge your obligations. \VheU,er your senice be on lhe
balliefronl or at home, your Alma Maler counts on you 10 give
your best.
The worth of an educational inslitution is measured by
UlC qualily of its graduates. The judgment of history on your
Alma ~Ialer lies in youl' hands. See Ihat that judgment is good!
To you one and all, Godspeed!

CLASS '43 HISTORY
The Class of '43 first made its appearallce in tbe fall of 1939, but a
few days after Canada had declared war. There were forty-two members
in the original class and although only about one-eigh~h of them now
,'emain, we gladly welcomed the addi lion of several new members in the

following year. In the days that followed, the war claimed its loll on '43
and we are proud of the sixteen members of our class now serving ill
the armed forces, and we pay Lribute Lo Ihree of our boys who already
have been called upon to pay the sup"cme sacrificc.
From (he beginning, '4R showed its keen interest in College activities,

and in the first year both girls and boys actively participated in haskeLbali.
hockey, bowling, debating, and dramatics. Tbe OhapeJ Choir, the Glee
Cluh, the Science Club and the new)y fonned Contemporary Club have
had our unfailing support. And for Ihe past three years we have been
more conscious of the meaning of war, with Ihe appeamnce of Ihe
COT.C on the campus, and Fi,' t Aid training for the girls.
In the field of Student Orgmlizalion 100, '43 has played a prominent
part. \Ve have supplied Iwo managers of the Board of Publications, Iwo
treasurers of Ule l\fain Execulivc, and the present heads of the Finance
Board an" the Litel'ar)' Board. I.asl year the head of 1111' newl.,· OI'ganized
\Var "fork Commillee was from '·13, and Ihis year two of Ihe officers
of the C.O.T.C are from '43. Others of our members have sen'ed on
almost evel'y board or committee which has helped 10 make College life
in these difficult times, such a tremendous success,
And so, as we stand on the threshold of graduation, we may review
our College days with pride, confident Ihat, as a class, we have done
our best, and trustiJlg that in some small way, we are truly worthy of
our Alma Maler,

CLASS '43 PROPHECY
The time of year lulC[ once morc come round when the old Brandon
College gltost was gelling mighty curious about the futlu'e of the new
graduating class. Finally Ite decided to llneak a peak at the future in his
crystal ball, though it was sll'icLly agajnst lIllion niles. Saying the magic
words slowly, and rubbing the dust off the crystal ball witlt his clean
pocket handkcl'chief, he peel'ed into tlte depths. Suddenly something
whizzed past, nearly knocking him over, As he rearranged his shroud

he muttered "That IllUst have been ten years passing by. Cel"lainly did
go (Iuicldy. \Vonder what tltey did to the grad class of '43." He peered
again into the swirling mists of the crystal ball where a figure was slowly
materializing, (and whaL a figure). It was l\Iul"ray l\IcLeod, the muscle
man! Between hands a mighty bal' was bending-was creaking-it snapped! There was a groan of relief and I heard him say to his openmouthcd class in Physics II, "There you can see the approximate elasticity of thai old nickle dhromiulll steel, now we'll try tlie new plastic

Professor Bac-hinski has just discovcred. I hear that he is to be given the
grand prize by the Society for Reclaiming Lost Scientists. One of its
members is going La devote hel' lire to cleaning oul his test tubes"----'and

Professor McLeod picked up a huge bar of multi-colored plastic. But the
B.C. ghost couldn'l beal' to look, so he turned the ball to see Betty
13urgoync. "So shc did take thai librarians coursen-for she was COnfronting rows of books neatly classified according to the latest and most
complicated system. UBut wllat goes on", said the B.C. ghost. "Those are
all cook backs." And he watched Belly give an anxious look at the clock
(which said 5.30, and snatch up an apron and a huge book entitled "How
to Keep a Husband Happy" 01' "Feed the Brute".
The next turn of the ball showed a mdio slation and there at the
microphone was Ted Speers. The ghost was just in time to hear his
closing words "And now Flipso, the new faster meHing soap nakes,
brings your favorite radio serial, that history-making epie of \\'orld
War II, "Life Without Love in the O.T.C." adapted for radio by Miss
Elizabeth Gajersk; from the memoires of Mr. Garth Taylor.
"I'd certainly like to hear that program" said the ghost as he re-

luctantly twirled the l»l1l. Before his eyes suddenly loomed a huge building marked "Social \Velfare Centre" audin smaller letters '''We specialize ill acute cases of flabby mOl·ale." Behind a door marked President he
found Doreen Bolstad. The walls of the office were papered with
graterul testimonials. One he noticed in particular, for in large lellers it

said, "Our First Cure" and underneath "Thanks to your ullliring: efforts,
J have been complelely cured of flabby morale and am now a compa,.,.lively useful member of sociely." It was igncd Dol. In the office uf Ihe
Vice-Presidenl hc saw Oorolhy Picrson, who had given up her teaching
carcer 10 help in Ihis worlhy cause,

The nexl lu,." of the ball broughl .Jean Oono\'an before his eyes.
\Vith her usual efficiency she was carrying on Iwo lelephone conversations at once-on oue she was discussing the new income tax regulations,
and in another she was ordering Ule meal [01' dinner. This was too much
for the [Joor old ghost, and he quickly IUl'lled the ball 10 view U,e Science
Building of Brandon CoUege. Nearby was a new building with a huge
,ign, "Special Research Balcs." \Vilhin were Hugh, Bill and Murray MacPherson, working feverishly. The moment was one of criSlis, and as U1C
ghosl watched he heard Ihe three give a sudden shoul of joy, The ghost
smiled to himself, ""Tell T hope this is really it this time. 1 1hey've been
working since 1943 on Ihal new process for clislilled walel'. Maybe now
MUl'I'ay will be able 10 carr'y on wilh Chem. IV wbere he left ofl' len
ycars ago when spring caught him wilhout any distilled waler."
So saying he gave Ihe ball a quick flip, 10 see one of the shiny new
slreamline trains zipping by wilh Johnny Boreski al the Ull·oltle. "Well.
well," chuckled Ihe ghosl, "I gucss walking up on lop got a IiLUe too
precarious when the train really went streamlined."
Ti,e next IW'n of U,e baU showed How. Brown, standing al the entrance 10 his "Snappy Shoe Shop" down on Rosser. He was looking very
pleased with bimself and humming "All God's Cbillun's Got Shoes."
"'Vcll," said Ule ghost, "there aren't many left-but I wonder if I can
lui'll this old baU fast enough 10 calch up wilh that Cliff. Kilson. Ab
there he is now! He hasn'l changed a bil-why, isn'l Ihat even the same
lillie music student wilh him?"
The lasl lut'Ll of U,e ball brought Ihe Alumni Banquet of 1953 inlo
view. ".My, my", said the slIrprised old ghost, "Isn't that IHUe Doris Perkin who has juSI been clected presidenl of Ihe Association? And there is
Evelyn Leech! Bul oil, oh! Here comcs Mr. Jordan!" And U,e B,C. ghosl
lucked his cryslal ball away for another year and got back to his job
of haunling.

At the close of the year 19~2-~3 the Class of '4-l can with salisfaction
say that it has done its share jn making it a successful year.
Not only interestcd in acadcmic worl<, Class '~-I has contributed
much to the social life of Bll'ndon Collcgc and to the success of the war
elfort (how faithfully did the girls I<nit squares in Psychology class).
Several members of our class have during tbe past year held responsible positions in different departments of college life and many of us
have played an aeli"e part in such ol'ganizations as the Glee Club, Chapel
Choir. S.C.M. Club and the International Relations Glib, not forgetting
U,e Science Club. Our class was also well represented in OUI' newly
formed Contemporary Club which proved highly successful. ""or must
we forget our musically talented members who provided entertainment
jn both the first term lit and U,e second term lit. As for our literary
efforts, they are recorded in our favorite paper, The Quill.

\\'e of '~6 are glad we came 10 College, for just imagine how dull,
how unenlightened the senior students would be without LIS.
I think they realized this, for they greeted us wilh wide open arm,;
and permitted us to wear old clothes and have dirty faces in absolute
comfort. But that was monolonous, no originality, aU in like gad), and
the other students realized this finalJy and permitted us to dress in a

Later these poor intellectually undernourished seniors uttered hearlrending cl'ies cmplol'ing LIS newcomers f)'om (he outside world to give

in the culture we brought them.
Bul the capabilities of '46 were not limited to entertaining alone.
\\'e executed many wonderful indescribable feats, during Field nay and
on the Hockey Excursion.
Our grealest achievement and '45's was the l\lystery Parly. We discovered al the fillish a Slirplus in the credit column, which was given to

the r.S.S.
The outstanding originality of '46 was observed at the Sadie Hawkins Parly, when the prizes for creative ability were awarded to students
of any year, but '~6.
DlII'ing the past scholastic yelll' we have done our best to make it a
successful year for the seniors and to better equip them 10 take their
place as citizens in this world. \Ve wish to thank them too for co-operating and helping us make 1l)·13 '1 successful year al Brandon College.
Sincerely though, we of '·16 hope we have helped in some measure

THE LITERARY BOARD
Thc Literary Board in ils program for thc year 19~2-19~3 has attempted to produce ilcms more or less original. With its versatile president, Miss Dot ~Ioffat. Hnd its enthusiastic members, the activities it ha~
sponsored have been a great success.
Thc lively Variely Show and Quiz Contesl of First Term Lit. di"ected by Kally Kennedy, and the novel selling of Second Tcrm Lit, an air
raid shelter, gave evidence of marc \'aded and interesting possibilities
(0 these customary events. Second Term Lit. was given an added attraction by the presence of our parents. lt is hoped that this innovation will

he carded on next yeal',
Two plays were presented, olle at each Lit., but it was felt by the
Board that student interest did 1101 wal'rant the formation of a Dramatic

Society. The newly-organized Debating Club however, gives promise of
a bright future. Thc Board was especially pleased Ihal the Glee Cluh

ATHLETICS
Although somewhat cllI'tailed again this year, the sports program
of Brandon College was well alTanged and organized. thanks to Professor

T. H. McLeod, Chair'man of the Board, and George Longphee, Chairman
of the Executive Committee. Demands on students' lime by C.O.T.e.
and oLher activities made it neccssary to ahandon plans for baskeU)all
and badminton. But jf variely was. limited, our enthusiasm certainly
,vasn'l.

The annual field day, of course, really started things ofT with a
bang. Remember the bascbaJJ, races, eats, and singing? And during the
fine autu11111 weathe!', baseball On the campus lured many out fo!' an
evening breather-and exercise!

Our interest next turned to bowling. The College had ten teams of
six which met al the aUeys Thursdays 01' Fridays. During the yea 1', a
keenly contested tournament with tile Brandon CoUegiate look place.
No, -the College didn't ","in, but Olll' vim and enl-husiaslll drowned the de-

feal.
After Christmas, many of the students enjoyed skating and practising hockey on our Collcge rink. No cracks about the icc Lhis year-it
was rcally good! Then there were those I'ousjng after-foul' hockey games

"gainst the Collegiate team to dl'''''' our cheers.
The Hockey Excursion was lhe spol'ling climax. Eighty-one sludents
buudlcd into the local for Carbel'l·y. The College "Commandos" st"ged
a real scorjng exhibition, with Jim Brown tallyjng seven times jn a swift,

exciling game. ('Ve think the boys wcrc spurred on by the thought of
Louis' prize chocolates; anyway it was a great victory.) Dancing in lhe
Orange Hall concluded this happy oUling.
All thesc enterprizes required a good deal of work and planning.
Our appreciation is extended then to our AthleLic Board, and to all others
whose hearty co-operation has boosted Our sports activities.

C.O.T.C.
The Brandon College Company, University of Manitoba Contingent,
C.O.T.C., finished its annual training on Saturday, March 6th with the
exception of a two-week eamp in May. 'nder the leadership of Caplain
.1. H. Evans, the members have u{ldergone the authorized syllabus of basic
training which will enable them to proceed with furthe,· training as cadel
officers in the Canadian Army. Squad drill, rifle drill, lectures and even
route marches were all taken with app3l'cnl elljoyment by the hardy men
of Bmndon College.
In the year's acLivilies there were two main events. the first of which
was a visit from Lt. Col. C. H. Hopper, Officer Commanding of the University of Manitoba c.o:r.c. Colonel Hopper visited Brandon on i\ovembel' 2;)th, inspected the Brandon. Company on U,e College campus and
latcr commended the lnell for their progress and Snlm't appearance on

parade. The second highlight of the year was the C.O.T.C. banquet and
dance held in the Prince Edward Hotel, February 25th. It was certainly
one of the best funclions held by the C.O.T.C. since its reol'ganizalion in
Brandon College in 19.10.
Throughout the year the splendid co-operation of officers, :\.C.O.'s
and men has helped make the Brandon Company a very worthy addition
to the Uni"ersity of Manitoba C.O.T.C. It is hoped Utat many of the
present members of the unit will he ablc t~ proceed with more advanced
training this summer and so make next year's work an even greater
sllccess.

Due to inconveniences arising fraln wal'-LinlC restrictions, the ac~
tivilies of the Co-Ed Association have been somewhat limited this year.
N(~:"el'lhelcss it has slIccessfully served in promoting social relationships
amongst women students and in culLivating our loyally, besides engaging in work nccessary to the life and morale of the College.
On Oct. 25th, the Co-Eds sponsored their annual At Home, which
took the form of a novelLy progressive party in the College. The variety
in entertainment and enthusiasm of our guesls made it one of the Il'lOst
outstand.ing and enjoyable functions of the year.
On behalf of the student body of Brandon College, the Co-Ed Association at Christmas tillle sent out greetings to all former students now
serving in His, Majesty's Forces. 'Ve hope that the cards and newsy letters brought back happy memOl'ies of Alma Mater to those now gone
from her halls.
Surplus funds this year have provided towels, utensils and other
requisites for the cnnvenience of nOll-l'esident girls who bring their
lunch to College during the cold weather.
During the year. the Co-Eds have devoted. two hours a week to the
war program authorized by the niversity, and as weB, many of their
spare moments have bcen spent in knilting garments for the LO.D.E.
Courses in Motor Mechanics and First Aid were offered in the first
lerm. The Motor Mechanics was something quile new 10 the Co-Eds; not
a few of us realized for the first time what complicated machines we
had been driving. During U,e second term, the girls have had the option
of the SI. John's courses in Firsl Aid and in Home Nursing or a continuation of last year's Physical Training at the Y.M.C.A. under the direction of Miss Mary Adam.
Early this spring the Co-Eds completed an afghan from the colorful
squares we knit from odd wool.
The Co-Eds cxtend their thanks 10 Mrs. 'Vright for her leadership
during a very satisfactory year.

One of the main functions nf the year, Inslallations, was handled

Our collcge newspapcr, The Quill,

published regularly again

this year, and while there WCt'C fewer ediLions, the quantity was com-

pensated for by the improvement in quality. Special merit goes to the

DUI'ing thc year The Quill has reflectcd and guided the spiril of
Alma Mater, besides recording th~.runctions and everyday doings of note
in and around Brandon College-the big and lillie things we'll remcmber.
II has also given a c10sc insight into college life wilb respect to its mOre

This year The Quill has atlempted to arouse a creative spirit among
thc students and to encourage their literary efforts. Will, an increasing

That The Quill has been a success, and highl~' enjoyed, is cvident

The formation of the Conlemporary Club under the leadership of
Dr. Pacey has been one of the new venluresin this year's college life. The
purpose of the club is to arouse an intel'est in CLUTent Iilemturc, and more
particularly, to acquaint members with selected first-rate contemporary

novels and poetl·y. Evening meetings were hcld in the Common Room
or in the homes of members twice a month during the ycar. Papers were
presented by the various mcmbcl'S, and, together with thf> reading of
illusll'alive passages and CXll'3Cls, always evoked a good deal of friend.ly,
informal discussion. 'The writers whose works have been considered are:
Stephen Spender, John Das Passos, Modey Callaghan, Thomas 'Votfe,
John Steinbeck, Virginia 'Voolre, Ernest Hemingway and C. Day Lewis.
A small beginning has been made tow3I·d forming a contemporary
literature section in the library, llnd studenls have ellgerly availed themselves of "the books in the bdght new covers."
The Contemporary Club performs a real cullural service and members feel that they have benefited by it in a most enjoyable wlly. "We
hope that the enthusiasm aroused this year wiU be sustained, and that
nexl year more students, especially those taking literature courses, will
feel encoul'aged to join.

The Science Clu.b of Brandon College has completed another year's
program of talks and discussions, which have afforded students an opportunity to learn of the latest developments in certain related branches of
science. Meetings were held in the Science Building On )'Iondays. himonthly, 1'1'0111 4:15 to ():OO 1'.111. Though club membe"ship is limited
to studcnts of the Senior Division, thc meetings were open to all students
interested.
The pape,'S given at meetings reqldred a good deal of sludy allli
preparation, and the speakers obtained real experience in selecting and

organizing material pertaining to their topics. This individual research
and examination of scientific jon I'll a Is. pe,·jodicals. and books helped to
broaden the students' inte"est in the subject and to supplement their
curricular work. II was particularly "aluable in the more a,h'anced fields.
Delh'ering the talk to the eager, questioning club-members tested the
speaker's familiarity with his suhject, and his ability to present and
discuss his ideas in an interesting and comprehensible WHy.
Much of the club's success has been due to the excellent co-operation
of Drs. Cragg, Johns, and Perdue. Thcir interest in the meetings, and
thell" generosity in giving speakers access to their personal lilJl'ul"ies have
been greally appreciated.
l\'ews of the club's activities and of science students in general has

FIRST TERM LIT
Something new was intl'Oduced when ti,e firsl term Lit was divided
into lhree parts: a variety program, a quiz con lest and a play.
In a realistic selling, Club Flamingo was the scene of the variely
sbow which was direcled by capable Kally Kennedy. David Rabino\'itch
as 1\1.C. inll'oduccd the various numbers: the men's chorus, two vocal
solos, a piano duet, the four gentlemen who nultered in ti,e ballet, a violin
solo and the Co-Ed For-Tunes. Then too, there was Jim Troller, becoming desperate in ills search for Mrs. Snodgrass.
Genllemen, ti,e ladies won the Baltle of the Sexes. Dr. Pacey asked the
questions and L. Louis de Gl"Ool watched the time. Iva Delamaler and
~Iarianne Kile prepared this seclion of the progl"am.
Under the direclion of Ted Speers, the play, "Why I Am A Bachelor"
was presenlcd. George Longphee was the bachelor, while Mary Ann
English and Ted Speers presenled the reasons for his celibacy. They
nearly had the audience convinced lhat malrimony shonld go on lhc

SECOND TERM LIT or PARENTS' NIGHT
This was the firsl Parents' nighl ever held in Brandon College. It
was a huge Sllccess.

The evening opened with the singing of "0 Canada" and the reading
of the minntes of ti,e last studenl gathering-tile hockey excursion. Lady
Sli.ck Doreen Bolstad then welcomed the pa"enls and fdends and introduced the first pHt of the pl"Ogmm-the variety show which was slaged
in an air raid shelter. The debate, "Resolved that lrayelling has more
educalional value tI,an reading," was judged by members of the facully
and Mayor Young. His Worship gave the decision in favor of the affinnalive. A one-act play, ''The Florist Shoppc," broughl the pl'Og.-am lo a
close and everyone adjourned 10 the dining room. Here refreshments
ana community singing were enjoyed. The evening ended in Ihe tradilional mal1ller-with the college song and class yells. For parents, faculty

KALEIDOSCOPE OF KAMPUS KAPERS
Sept. 21.-Self-asslll'ed Seniors overwhelmed by the mighty band of
versatile Freshmen and Freshelles. There were several new faces amongst
Faculty members and staff. Welcome to Brandon ColJege!
Sept. 25.-Remember Bachi as master of ceremonies al ou,' Freshman reception. \Ve saw the talent they were adding to our college life-and U1CY snw what a swell lime you C:ln have at a college pads.

Oct. l.-C.reetings were extended to Ihe many new guckers by "you
know who"-and e\'eryone had a grand lime at the hike oul to Ye Olde
ll'On Bridge.
Oct. 8.-Surprise! Surprise! \Ve had a bee-u-tiful day for our
Sports. A special note of inlerest was that super girls' balI leam of class
of '·l;;--and do you remcmher Dr. Perdue's Iricky chapeau?
Oct. lB.-Seniors wiII ever remember Ihal nice long ride (eh, Arlllstrong?) to Terence in search of a fowl supper. '\Ie hope MI'. Forl'ester
knows now of what such an event consists.

Oct. 25.-)\ul'scl')' Rhymes, Quiz, a program starring the For-Tunes,
dancing and lunch-yes, felIas! That was the evening thc Cn-Eds gave
you. And by the way, Ihe Co-Eds were already knitting madly for the
Red Cross by Ihis dale, too.

Nov. 1.--0nce again, we all survived a Hallowe'en Frolic-and it
l'ealIy look some effort to keep yourself on the right path al that Baity
Hall. About this time 100, "Oark Hall boys" began to figure in the news

Nov. 8.-Congratulations were being extended to MI'. and Mrs. DilIey
on the occasion of their marriage, Nov. 5th. The 'Val' Savings Drive began.
Nov. l5.-Residence was !'ccovcl'ing f,'ol11 and reminiscing aboul
that parly Ihat the boys gavc Clark Hall-and Bowlers were being reminded Lo please be on time. (Plug 1'01' nexl year's Athlelic Board.)

Nov. 21.-Brandon College Chapel did a quick change act and became, 1'01' the year's Lit-Club Flamingo. Ah! for those Ballet Boys!
Residence was really booming, what with Club Room dancing almosl
every night.
Nov. 28.-A real thrillel' of a week! Made up of one Formal at the
Prince Ed. (lets' do it more often!) and an unofficial inspection by moonlight of Clark HaJj by Yahudi & Co. Co-Eds were now being called greasemO]lkeys.
Dec. B.-The Ail' FOI'ce had taken over our reading ·room; Ihe back
of the Chapel then served the puxpose. Juniors were developing thai
pre-exam complex. And the Physics Lab. was being transformed-Ai,
Force encroaching again!

Forty-four

~-S-ICK-L-E -

Dec. 13.-No Co-Ed pens for Juniors yet! And such ties as the boy.
began to wear! And Dunc left such a lovely dish full of candies in her
room when we had officiaJ inspection.

Dec. 19.-0nly ? more shopping days till Christmas! Um-that
delicious turkey dinner in the dining rOom loo--just a foretaste of the
holidays ahead.
Jan. 10.-0b, groan! 'Work again. And Moron stories on the loose,
too. The e.0.T.e. were manfully submitting to extensive route marching. Congratulations were being extended throughout the Dominion to
B.A.C.'s '42.
.Jan. 16.-II still tickles me to think of all the straw or hay we had
at lhal super Rustic Rendezvous. And the Glee Club was thrown into
high gear.
Jan. 23.-'Nother neat liltle dancing party in the Club Room, proceeds to T.S.S.
Feb. 6.-Hockey team (the Commandos) really working hard in
anticipation of an excursion but many took time off for the lovely
Valentine Formal at the Esquire.
Feb. l:l.-Victodous Hockey Excursion 10 Carberry. Everyone recovered from the cxcitement and sluff
ven l\laylott, who had a puck
go to his head!

Feb. 21.-Elections in the air! A very successful Lit Nile. The
college really showed ilself off to the parents and friends. \Velcome to
Jean Elizabeth Cragg!
Feb. 27.-The Co-Ed. Association was given a demonstration of
how their song should be sung-by Ihe For-Tunes (Sigma r.fu species).
And a very classical drama (Ah! for that lovely voice of Helen of Troy!)
revealed George and Iva as our new sticks.
Mal'. 2.-:\'ot just another Arts Banquet-a really lovely affair. Oh,
yes! "'hat was that about the ladies being the stars in a man's life--but
not apprecialed at lelescopic distance?
1\Iar. 5.~"Our -revels now arc ended"-"rcl1, anyway, it's titne to
settle down for those exams. Please dodge lIle measles! And do hope
we see you all next year.
