BRANDON COLLEGE

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!

FOREWORD
The "Sickle", the final summation of the college
year, presents a recap of student life and activities.
We have endeavoured to make it a year book which,
in future years, will bring back fond memories of
your Alma Mater.
This publication required the combined efforts
of many students to whom we wish to extend our
sincerest gratitude. To the editors of the various
sections, to our secretary, who did most of the typing,
to our photographer, and to all those who contributed
in any way toward making this edition a success, we
offer many thanks.
Appreciation is due also to Mr. Frank Scherer
and the Sun Printing Company whose co-operation
made this publication possible.
We hope that this 1958-59 year book will meet
with your approval and that you will enjoy reading
it.
The Editors.

EVANSI MESSAGE TO THE SICKLE

I count it a privilege to say a few words through
the medium of "The Sickle" to the student body as a
whole, and particularly to those who soon will be moving out into the broader fields of experience through
the portals of graduation.
My 'brief word is to congratulate you on your attainment thus far, and to wish you well as you continue along -your way.
Your Alma Mater is pleased to recognize you; she
happy in the development you have made; she is
grateful for the contribution you have given to her
life, and she looks forward with you in anticipated
pride as you seek to gain the sane realization of your
dreams and the wholesome fulfillment of your powers
and capacities.

i~

She is mindful of course, that her image will ever
be reflected by you as you proceed along life's way,
and she trusts that during your days of preparation
under her influence you have gained enough knowledge to keep you humble in your future pursuits;
enough wisdom to give you understanding; enough
courage to make you unafraid; enough discipline to
give you control of passions; enough insight to give
you purpose; and enough faith to enable you to gain
and grasp the meaning of life.
These are hut some of the lights that 1 hope at
least twinkle before you, as· you now push off your
moorings and figuratively set out into the deep. Follow them. They will brighter grow, to become the
guide stars for a successful voyage and a destiny
worthwhile.

DR. PERDUE/S MESSAGE TO THE SICKLE

DR. H. S. PERDUE

Once again it is a happy privilege to congratulate
those responsible for this fine edition of "The Sickle",
and to pen a year-end message to all of the Brandon
College family.
This year has had its normal quota of activities,
experiences and accomplishments, which have all contributed much to the maturity and wisdom of the
group.
The problem of a wise balance between course
work and personality development has been minimized
by the co-operation and insight of the student leaders.
While a university must, of necessity, emphasize
scholarship, it is equally essential that it graduate
individuals who are adjusted to the society of their
day. Education is not a one-sided structure; it involves
the whole individual. Here in Brandon College, I think
that we have a program which is producing a superior
type of graduate, and our record is one of which all
can be justly proud. Our graduates are successfully
established in many fields and pay ready tribute to
the College for its share in their training.
May our graduates of 1959 gain equal Sl)ccess and
happiness as citizens of Canada in their chosen fields
and may the undergraduates keep ever before them
the fine ideals of educated men and women.

DR. McCUTCHEON/S MESSAGE TO THE SICKLE

,.
DR. W. W. McCUTCHEON

The completion of your initial training for teaching
should be a source of pride to you and your family.
The next phase in your career will be your performance in the school to which you go. There you will
have a part in shaping the lives of your pupils. How
you manage your classroom and the many activities
associated with your school will determine the extent
and value of that influence.
This year of training must be regarded as the
beginning rather than the completion of the background needed for your teaching. There was never
a time when more opportunities were available for
teachers to improve their scholarship and teaching
practices than now. There is a rather forceful maxim
which says: "Who dares to teach must never cease
to learn". May you ever strive to make the greatest
use of the training you have had as you continue to
add to it.

STICKS1 MESSAGE
The '58-'59 Acaaemic year has drawn to a close and we are grateful
for this, the last opportunity to speak to you as members of the B.C.S.A.
Our memories as we leave these halls are many and shall remain
with us for many years to come. These have been drawn from all phases
of College life, but most prominent in our minds are those of the friendliness and co-operation that have been shown us from our first hectic
Freshie days until the final examination weeks of this term. Especially
appreciated has been the help and co-operation which has been shown
us in this final year. It has made even the time consuming and commonplace jobs seem meaningful and rewarding.
To the Sickle Editors, we not only thank you for this last opportunity
to express our appreciation, but we also congratulate you on the splendid
job you have done in producing this book. This publication is, we believe,
symbolic of all college activities, for although, admittedly much of the
work was done by a small nucleus of students, without the co-operation
and help of a large percentage 'of the student body, such a publication
would be impossible. In college life, the significance of the activities sponsored lies not in the fact that a few students bear managerial responsibilities, but in the interest and co-operation of the student body in making
these activities successful. Such a co-operative spirit will be invaluable in
later life and its procurement is, we believe, secondary only to academic
achievement in the gaining 'of an education.
We have deemed it an honour to be your Senior and Lad~ Stick in
the '58-'59 term and it is with many regrets that we prepare to leave our
College home. Although, we do look forward to beginning our careers, we
shall always look back on our years -of College with many fond memories
and shall never forget the many friends we acquired while here.
Our appreciation also goes out to the Administration and Faculty,
who have been of valuable assistance to us not only academically but in
all phases of College life. Special thanks go to Dr. Evans, Dean Perdue,
Mr. Birkinshaw and Joan Garnett, for without their he1p, administration
of student activities would have been difficult if not impossible.
The proposed expansion of Brandon College will present many problems to Faculty, Administration and students alike, but these will be small
when compared to the advantages for everyone which the completion of
the project will make available.
To those of you who will be here in years to come, we wish you luck
in overcoming these difficulties, and we hope that you will be fortunate
enough to gain as much from College life as we have. To our Alma Mater,
to whom we owe so much and to whom we will be always gratefUl, we
say, "thank-you" and wish for you in years to come, success, good fortune
and most important the opportunity and ability to progress along the
lines of your own choosing.

CLASS HYMN

Into the college halls we came with dreams of new and happy years
Our faltring, faUing childish ways met fun ,and fears with toil and tears.
Then Alma Mater stamped her claim on time's allotments in our life.
Removing, altring childhood's modes and urging on thru strife and gain.
No form she set to mold the clay we offered to her potters. wheel.
She took us each and saw us grow to use our mind her will to know.
She took just what we yielded unto her and thence inspired us on to greater realms
Both for our own good and the g,ood of man, yea, for the nation yet to rise.
As teachers, friends, and coaches urge a seeking for the burning torch
For progress found our hearts and minds were fertile ground for seeds of truth.
Yet more professors we shall meet in classrooms, workshops, in the street.
As truth from men and books we seek, to check and urge, to guide our feet.
And as the years go streaming by, we pray 0 Lord, you'll guard our paths.
For thru this world we'll pass but once our footsteps cannot be retraced.
Then let us sing with hearts upraised, may Alma Mater e'er be praised
As now we leave her hallowed halls, and seek to chart the future's birth.

CLASS PROPHECY

CAROLYN JOHNSON

BILL GRANT

What this world is, and what it should be, have been the burning questions wrestled with by
Homo Sapiens from Alley Oop to Bertrand Russell. But in the year of 1979 most of the problems
of life have been successfully answered and the world is a much better place in which to live,
due to the efforts of the theorists of the Class of '59.
From the forty-four corners of the globe the members converged at the Nesbitt Silverstone
Estate of millionaire-philanthropist, Sir Gary Ma rtin, Canada's largest taxpayer. Due to his generosity, Brandon College has a drinking fountain in every classroom. His integrity is unquestionable, like that of Jim "the con-man's con-man" Donaghy. Jim amassed his great wealth and, at the
same time, benefitted humanity by "smartening it up". His weakness for that good old mountain
dew seems to have decreased somewhat under the influence of the Sahara Temperance Society.
Its founders, Sheik Sandy Russell and that singing-minister, Doug Watson, have proved conclusively
that water is the purest and most sinless beverage. In order to be present at this joyful reunion
they left their Water Caravan in charge of their most recent convert, Nikita Krushchev, confirmed
teetotaler.
In the field of scientific research, Neil Robertson has set up shop in Mexico, designing and
producing lightweight tombstones.
Master-in-chief on the Ethiopia Experimental Farm, Bill Gates, crossed a gip with a woc and
got a gipwoc which has taken the place of the car. His foreign comrade-in-arms, Arnie Tweed,
took a leave of absence from the Tweed Bug Laboratory in Nigeria. His project to prove the biological similarities between beetles and humans has won him the Nobel Peace Pprize.
In Turkey, the fossils of the ten lost tribes of Israel have been found by geologist-anthropologist Merv Brandon, while in Antarctica, botanist Louise Dechka developed a money tree. This
may have serious repercussions upon the Syndicate of big-stick Jim "Hoffa" Melvin and his revolutionary monetary system in which the basic unit of exchange is called the "Union".
Although she used up the world's supply of scholarships in doing so, bio-chemist Joan Evans
has developed a universal health potion, predicted to give everlasting freedom from mankind's
plagues and pains.
Debonair Bob Bagg, international playboy, left his elite society in Gay Paris to join us, and
left Brigette, for one, with a broken heart. Free love is flourishing in Japan and will continue to
do so even though its strongest advocate, Bill Evans, flew 'over for the reunion with his geisha
girls. It was interesting when they met Cam Davreux's harem girls, and we think that in both cases
the boys are going to have to think fast to prevent a suffragette movement.
Fortunately, the hottest law case of the century ended in time to let criminal-lawyer Ron Kirbyson, defendant of AI Wells, and plaintiff Barry Birch join the gathering. In his scandal magazine
"Tear the Veil", Al revealed the social problem of dark corners under stairways, and Barry believing it to be a normal and necessary social phenomenon, collected suit for libel. Previously Barry
had been working for the government reducing all poll-syllabic words to one syllable.
The crisis in the school system has been solved by the innovations of reformers Doug Birch
and Audrey Gash, Dean and Lady Dean of Harvard. It is described as "progressive education", designed to nip all inhibitions in the bud by having all classes conducted in the nude. Well-adjusted
scholars leave the ivy walls, their ids in complete compatibility with their super-egos.

Proud we are of our outstanding spreaders of religious fervor. Mr. Moerman is ardently preach·
ing in his native Holland. Rugged Bob Rempel, Padre of the Yukon Air Force, risked life and limb
in his canoe voyage down the Mackenzie River to join us. Throughout the long voyage rock and
mountain pine resounded to the delicate harmony of voice and accordion blending in "The squaws
along the Yukon are good enough for me".
A serious rift between another of our ministers, Paul Antrobus, and his intended, Kay Pue, is
taxing the skills of social worker Barb Russell. It seems that Paul's views on the difference between
dating and courtship are not shared by Kay.
Some of our class members have eased tensions in the South. Bearded and sun-tanned Clare
Coburn overthrew Castro in Cuba, and established a monarchy. The Cubans have never enjoyed
such prosperity. From her perch high above the earth's atmosphere on Satellite Skat, Air Marshall
Elaine MacDonald keeps the restless natives docile. This is done by means of the R.C.A.F.'s newest
weapon which has an effect similar to that of the lotus flower; the hot blood of the Cubans is kept
relatively cool. Always in a cold war with King Clare over political theory is Philosopher-King AI
Brooks, in New Zealand. Pouring oil on the troubled waters is the smooth-talking, diplomatic U.N.
Secretary, Herb Murray.
The engineering feats of Skafel Bridgework Co. Inc. infinitely aided the world's transportation
system. With his little slide-rule, Jon has built a bridge across the Atlantic Ocean; a bridge so wide
that holiday travellers can stop in for amusement at the many casinos that line its sides. Here,
"Lucky" Wayne Pettapiece opened the Golden Nugget. When he and Del Kitch lure some unwary
traveler into a bridge game, the unfortunate soul must inevitably return home, a sadder but wiser
man.
In Hollywood, movie mogul Stu Tunningly bought out M.G.M. and reformed the motion-picture industry. He has just directed, produced starred in, and released his latest movie, "Return
of Houdini". Stu's magic is the central topic of conversation at all of "Glenyce Currie's cocktail
parties, but his secrets will never be divulged. Her experience as social convener back in '59 enabled Glenyce to make her debut into New York society, and she is now Auntie Mame II of Beekman Place.
Oddly enough, two of our class members found their calling in the mountains. Margarete
Schlichther felt that she could view the whole world more objectively from a point as far away from
it as possible. Hence, her habitation at the tip of Mt. Everest. Through the arduous process of eclecticism, she has integrated the knowledge of mankind into a united, meaningful, and truthful whole.
Our other mountaineer, Mike Yakimiskyn, president of the Alpine Club, has found happiness with
his fifth wife.
Warren Winkler could not forget his childhood experiences on the ranches of Alberta, and is
now a bullfighter in Spain. Instead of spears, he uses the lasso, and with deadly accuracy. In
French Indo-China, Jane Wilson has put her love of French into practice. She has almost completed
the- translation of Omar Khayyam into that same language. Another linguist, Helen Wright, has
mastered all known languages and dialects. Her expert opinion Is that the universal tongue should
be of Austronesian root.
In the sports world, Gil Giem is president of the N.H.L., and has written several essays on the
"Beginning and End of Hockey". Renowned distance swimmer Shirley Young has won the laurel
wreath by conquering Hudson Bay underwater.
Gliding in to our reunion on the wings of song were maestros David Wilson and Marg MacDonald. David is a merciless critic of Canadian composers and is the captor of the haunting music of
the spheres. Marg has donned her clan's tartan an4 her newly formed "Highland Band and Dancers" is in great demand. The effect of the bagpipe-piano, her latest discovery, is overwhelming.
Also joining us was Carolyn Johnson, connoisseur of wine and cheese and hostess in her nightclub "Chez Monique" in India. And finally, all the way from Tpurroc (pop. 2) Borneo, came the King
of the Finance World, money-baron Bill Grant. Bill can still make a profit even though the debits
are larger than the credits.
Perhaps the situation of the universe· can still be improved despite the many accomplishments
of our class. Many doors have been passed through, but there remains the many strange and inviting doors to open. We will aim to do this, and we will do it in the same spirit of unity that began
in Brandon College and made this reunion possible. We will be true to our sign: We will be victorious.
-Carolyn Johnson, Bill Grant, Class of '59

GRADUAliON BANQUET

On Friday, March 6, Knox United Church was the scene of the climax of this year's activities
when the undergraduates held their annual Graduation Banquet in honour of the graduates in
Arts, Science, and Education.
The evening commenced with the reception line consisting of Regina Armstrong and Bob
Melvin, hostess and host, Dr. and Mrs. Evans, Barbara Russel and Jim Melvin, the Lady Stick

reply, Dr. H. V. Kidd.
Douglas Watson, accompanied by David Wilson, offered a much enjoyed solo, "I'll Walk With
God."
Professor Thordarson then presented to Dr. Evans, Barbara Russell, Shirley Young, Jim Melvin, and Cameron Davreux, members of the class of '59, as nominees to the Honour Society.
Completing the banquet the graduating class gathered on the stage to render their beautiful
class hymn and their class yells.
A dance followed at the Composite High auditorium with music by Merv Kraeling's Orchestra.
The Class of '59 yell brought this memorable occasion to an end.
Regina Armstrong, the charming and capable hostess is to be commended for the competent
manner in which she carried out the arrangements for the evening. Assisting here were: Robert
Melvin, John Lockie, Keith Elliott, Robert Coleman, Donna Wilkins, Pat Stanley, Cecilia Andreychuk,

it was, a highly successful evening notwithstanding
the fact that our entertainment was of ,a lower
calibre.
The Clark Hall tea was held in the fall as an
annual function of the residence members of our
organization. A good attendance proved very enjoyable not only in the making of new ,acquaintances
but also in the renewal ,of 'old friendships amongst
the mothers of both residence and non-residence

The activities of this organization were concluded Installat'ions Night when the Co-Eds supplied

published quite regularly, thanks to Donna McDonald and
Tom Ross, co-editors in first term and Tom Ross and Enid
Currie, co-editors in second term, who have endeavored to
present through it, the true college lHe, with all its functions
and organizations. We certainly hope that you have found
its pages both interesting and informative.
This year's "Handbook", in my estimation, has excelled
all preceding issues in both quaHty and quantity. A gre'at
deal of credit is due the editor, Cecilia Andreychuk,and
her assistants f'Or this accomplishment.
Our major pubLication of the year, the "Sickle", is a
result of consistent hard work on the part of editor Nona
Malyon, assistant editor Wayne Kirbyson, and their staff.
I am sure you will agree that their time and effort has
been rewarded by this splendid achievement. We sincerely
hope that you enjoy this edition of the "Sickle" as much as
we have enjooyed publishing it for you.
I hope that I haven't left the impression that the year
1958-1959 has been all smooth sailing for the Board of Publications. We have had more than our share of problems
and tribulations. However, under the expert guidance of
our manager, Alan Wells, and with the splendid co-operation
and enthusiasm of the entire boa,rd, we have completed a
successful year. To the Publications Board of next year go
our best wishes for every success.
A special thank you to our faculty advisors, Mr. Thordarson and Mrs. Cowan, for their much needed and appreciated assisltance and advice, is expressed by the board.

LITERARY BOARD

Under the able leadership of the manager, John Lockie, literary activities have played a major role in college life this year.
In September, more than thirty students and professors from the
co~lege

met with a compamble number from the Minot State Teacher's
College in the annual International Relations Conference at the Peace
Gardens. Very capably convened by Herb. Murr,ay and Jane Wilson, the
conference proved to be most enjoyable and informative.
Bouquets to Jane Wilson and her assistants £or an outstanding Lit.
Nite programme. Lit. Ni,te was held on November 21 and proved to be a
very entertaining evening as well asa profitable one for the Glass of '60
who, for the third successive year, copped first place.
This year on February 6, there was held our first inter-year Public
Speaking Nite. Although the audience was small, the evening proved to
be a success. A sincere thank-you goes to Gail Bailey, the convenor, for
the excellent job she did in organizing the evening. Congratulations to
Class of '60 and Class of '61 who claimed a tie for first place and the
Senior Stick's Trophy.
City Hall Auditorium, ,on March 2, 3 and 4, was the scene of Brandon
College's annual MaJor Production. This year, under the able direction of
Miss Laycock, "The Great Sebastians" was presented. The success with
which this play was presented added a final note to a successful year.
Many thanks to each member. of the cast, to Stu. Tuningley and his committees for their hard work, effort and time.
The minor clubs have also had a successful year, owing to the untiring efforts of the presidents of each club.
Radio Club had a successful year with their programme, "Brandon
College On The Air". This success was due to the work of Del Kitch,
convenor, and Ron Kirbyson, announcer. Both have gliven freely of their
time in order to produce a programme of high calibre.
Don Goodfellow has done excellent work with the Debating and is to
be congratulated for this. Inter-year debating was carned on all year and
was met with considerable success. It is hoped that such interest will continue in the future.
The French Club, International Relations Club, and Soience Club all
functioned this year and were comparatively well attended. Thanks go
to the individual presidents-Ron. Kirbyson, Mervyn Letts and Jon Skafel,
respectively.
The Presidents Tr,ophy was awarded to the Class of '60 and the Class
of '61 for the highest standing in inter-year Literary activities. Such keen
interest is to be commended and it is our wish that it will continue in
future years.
This seems to cover the Literary activities for this year. On behalf
of the Literary Board '58-'59, I would like to extend best wishes to Merv.
Letts, manager for 1959-60. We hope that you too will have a successful
year.

LIT NIGHT
On Friday, November 21, B.C.S.A. presented a
successful Lit. Nite for 1958-1959 before a crowd
which filled the Ag. School 'to capacity. J'ohn
Lockie opened the evening with a short talk on
Lit. Nite and then, Cam. Davreux took over as a
competent Master of Ceremonies.
Third Year opened with their play "The Pub".
Warren McKinnon was hilarious as an English bloke,
and his crony, Gary Prior, was als'O very entertaining.
Teacher Training then came forth with "The
Pied Piper of Brandon College." Between the "Rats",
Roger afield as Mr. Wilson, Elmer Kurtz as Senior
Stick, and Colin Mailer as the "Pied Piper", the
play moved quickly and humorously.
- First Year',s Cicero (Cis) Coznowski (Don Ross),
and Coach Henry Champ, almost caused hysteria
with Don's antics and Henry's coaching in a football game played during the B.C era.
Sec,ond Year's play "Barrack's Blues", with Chip
Hand as Elvis Presley, had an audience of "screaming thousands". Equally entertaining were his army
buddies, and singing companions, Barry Ellwood
and George Peary.
"Ho'W the Mighty Have Fallen", presented by
Fourth Year was highlighted by ,one 'of the finest
acting chores of the evening, that of Jim Melvin
as a chronic alcoholic. Arnie Tweed and Glenyce
Currie carried the majority of the humor as bartender and ba'rmaid.
Also, this year, an additional and most entertaining play was staged by the French Club. Entitled "L'Homme Qui Epousa la Femme Muette",
with George De Mare as the husband and Penny
Smith as his wife, the play provided the culture
of the evening and was royaUy accepted by all.
Between-the-play entertainment was provided by
Kay Pue, Doug Watson, and Diane Fowler. Doug
and Dianne pr,ovided vocal entertainment, while
Kay delighted us with a piano medley.
The long anticipated moment arrived, when Cam
Davreux announced the judges' decision. Once more,
John Lockie and the class of '60 had triumphed for
thethird straight year. Congratulations are certainly
in order f'or that class. Teacher Training placed
second, and First Year was third.
A note of appreciation to Jane Wilson who did
a marvellous job convening Lit. Nite.
Tarts and cokes served at intermission were
enjoyed by all.
Many thanks to our ca,pable judges: Miss Edith
Laycock, Mr. Thordarson and Mr. Perry.
Writers and Directors of our plays this year
were:
Fourth Year: Bob -Bagg, Ali Brooks, Del Kitch.
Third Year: John Lockie.
Second Year: Nona Ma.Iyon and George Peary.
First Year: Henry Champ and Murray Bailey.
T.T.C.: Miss Gibson and joint A, B, and C efforts.

PRODUCTION

MAJOR PRODUCTION
liTHE GREAT SEBASTIANS"
"Presumptuous" someone said of the Brandon College Literary Board's decision to produce the "Great
Sebastians", a delightful melodrama written originally for Lunt and Fontaine, England'9 top stage team. However, under the capable direction of Miss Edith Layeock, a successful three night run, March 2, 3 and 4, brought
to the footlights excellent, well cast talent which to Brandon audiences and Brandon would be as Lunt and
Fontaine to Londoners' ,or New Yorkers' where the play was first produced in '56.
Essie Sebastian (Linda Moore) was radiantly theatrical and with quick, refined gracefulness and flambuoyancy swept the audience9 with her as did her hUSlband Rudi (Colin Mailer) in the suave, arty, egotistical personality of the "ACT". Truly, they carried a difficult play to a great height for two youthful performers.
Set in Prague, Czechosl-ovakia, after the Communist coup 'of 1948, the play in three acts deals with a vaudeville mind-reading team (Essie and Rudi) which General Zandek (Hugh Halliday) decides to use in his own way
to decide who has been "disloyal" to the government. He visits the Sebastians in their dressing room of the
theatre Variete which is managed by Josef (Ron Rennie). Previously, the dres,sing room has been searched by two
security policemen (David Halstead and Larry Seeback) under the supervision of a Cultural Action Committee
member named Manya (Donna Wilkins).
Under the impression that they have been invited as dinner guests at General Zandek's they arrive about
midnight but discover upon their arrival, being informed by Sergeant Javorsky (Alf Brooks), that their sole
purpose is to entertain Zandek's guests Vlasta Habova (Margaret Munson), Colonel Bradacova (Myra Johnston),
Sophie Cerny (Glenyce Currie), Karel Cerny (Arnold Tweed), Mr. Nov,otny (Ray Bright), Mr. Pavlot (Steve Hyrich),
Dr. Balzar (Alan Wells) and Marie Balza,r (Majorie Pool).
The party is interrupted by an unexpected visit from Bacilek (Trevor Raymond) a ,high Party official who
informs the group of the suicidal death of Jan Masaryk, another Communist party "member" known personally
to the Sebastians who la9t saw him alive. Complications and, intrigue rise as_ the Sebastians are held to sign false
statements concerning the suicide while they themselves are trying to flee the country with a rare stamp in
which they have invested all their money to smuggle it out of the country.
John Chudzik, Mike Yakimishyn, Werden Keeler and Rae Westcott carried off the s·oldiers parts with military flavour.
Of course, success is gained by co-operation from those not seen as well as those on stage. Production Manager, Stewart Tunningly, and Literary Manager, John Lockie, carried out responsibilities well. Nona Malyon and
Margaret Fargey co-ordinated the costumes in good taste. The fine properties located by Janet Mooney and Joan
Evans gave a luxurious> appearance to the excellent set executed by Ed Gillespie, Fred McIntosh, Sandra Lowe
and Roger afield.
The good turnouts were due no doubt to fine publicity managed by Clare Coburn which was followed by
ticket sales under the direction of Jim Donaghy and flier delivery under Jon Skafel.
Sincere thanks and appreciation then to everyone who worked in any way to produce a difficult task well.
Brandon College is grateful.
Roger afield, T.T.C.

I.R.C. CLUB
The LiRC. this year began its first term activities
in fine style with the annual InternationaI Relat~ons
Conference held in conjuncHon with the Mmot
State Teachers College at the International Peace
Gardens in October. Thirty-three members attended
from Brandon College for a discussion of the .intellectual and politically intriguing topic covermg
all aspects of the U.S.S.R. Everyone concerned felt
that the conference was a g·reat success.
Meetings were held. bi-m~nthly thr?u~hout both
terms -with fUrns and dlscusslOns pertammg to next
year's conference "African Nationalism" being the
main topic.
On October 14 Miss Kay Pue, a fourth year
science student who spent last summer in Eur?pe
with the RC.A.F., spoke to the club on her ~m­
pressions of the Old World and showed us a fme
collection of slides.
Four members of the I.R.C., Ron Rennie, Bob
Melv,in Fred McIntosh and President Merv Letts,
accompanied by· Faculty Advisor Miss Walmsley,
attended a conference on Human Rights in Winnipeg November 21 and 22. The guest speaker was
Dr. 'H. L. Keenlyside, Director General of the U.N.
Technical Assistance Administration. Groups participated in by the college students ~ere, ".l?ecla~­
ation of Human RIghts and CanadIan BIll of RIg.hts ,
"Human Rights and Eskimos!', and "Human RIghts
and Labor Relations".
On Tuesday, December 9, the I.RC. held a c?mmemoration service in the chapel commemoratmg
the tenth anniversary ,of the signing o~ the Un~ver­
sal Declaration of Rights by the Ulllted NatlOns.
Speakers Bob Melvin and Merv Letts ouUined the
principles, advantages and n;asons for such a declaration and gave a summatlOn of the conference
held in Winnipeg.
An executive meeting between Minot and Brandon was held February 2'5 when the College I.RC.
was hoslt to a delegaUon of Minot students and professors. A Iuncheon, held in the Prince Edward
Hotel, was followed by a discussion of the ~all
LRC. conference. The groundwork £or the ensumg
conference was laid.
After an extremely busy and prosperous season
the I.RC. held its last meeting March 5 wit~ a film
on African Nationalism. Next year's executive was
elected.
Executive for the '58-'59 college season were
as follows:
President-Merv Letts '61
Secretary-Evelyn Stewart T.T.C
Treasurer-Ron Rennie '61
We are all looking forward to next year's I.RC.
activities and wish· the best to the conference convenor, Fred McIntosh and secretaries Dianne Fowler and Marg Munson.

FRENCH CLUB
The 1958-1959 French Club got underway with
the election of a ,small executive:
President.
Ron Kirbyson
Secretary
Alice Schick
Hugh Holliday
Social Oonvenor
The Club met once a week. Thanks to Miss, MacNeill's inspiration and encouragement, a serious
effort was made to, have all proceedings carried on
in French.
The membe,rs displayed their talent and ability
by the production of a French play, "L'Homme
Qui Epousa La Femme Muette,'~ at Lit. Nite.
One hundred and two

This was a medieval farce, in which the judge,
George De Mare, has Penny Smith, his wife, cured
·of her muteness, by the prodigious Doctor Polidore,
Hugh Halliday. When the wife regains her power
of speech, she gossips all day long, and upsets the
whole household. The two servants, Alice Schick
and Bob Coleman, complain and threaten to leave.
The Judge is very disturbed and pours out his
troubles to his intimate friend, Barry Ellwood. The
famous Doctor is called in again and finds a solution to the dilemma by making the Judge and the
servants deaf
Thos participating gave a very creditaible performance and their costuming was appropriate to
the period. As a result the Club fulfilled one of its
main functions, namely the art of conversing in
French.
We hope the >Club will continue to assist all those
students interested in oral French.
Alice Schick '61

DEBATING CLUB
For the Debating Club the term 195'8"59 was one
of great success,. Debating swung into action early
in the term under the direction of its president,
Don Goodfellow, and was still going strong at the
close of activities. Our first meeting was held on
October 7, 1958, at which 'a schedule of the forthcoming debates was approved, rules for these debates were drawn up, and a discussion of the possibility of a Mock Parliament at Brandon College.
The first debate was held on October 28 between
the class of '5,9, Kay Pue and Ela,ine McDon-ald, and
Class ·of '60, Wally Jasper and Dave Halstead. The
topic was: "Be it resolved that the testing of hydrogen bombs and atomic weapons be banned", and
Class '59, with the affirmative, came out as winners.
The second debate was held on Nevember 18
between Class '61, George Peary and Pat Stanley,
and T.T.C., Lyall Andrews and Barbara Heselgrave,
with the topic: "Be it resolved that Canada should
have socialized medicine." This debate was won by
the affirmative team, T.T..C.
The second term debating activities got under
way with a general meeting to 'discuss the Mock
Parliament. A committee was formed to look into
this as a next term ,project. De'bating now went into
the semi-finals in inter-year competition with Class
'62, Marion McGregor and Myra Johnston, versus
T.T.C., Lyall Andrews and Barbara Heselg·rave. Class
'62, with the aff-irmative of "Be it resolved that
university education should be free to all deserving
students," were the winners.
January 29, saw Class '61, Don Goodfello,w and
Mervyn Letts, against Class· '60, Margaret Munson
and Bob Melvin, on ,the topic "Racial segregation
is not justifiable" and Class '61 were the winners,
with the affirmative.
February 3, Class '62, Henry Champ and Dawn
Wellman, bowed to Class '59, Paul Antrobus and
David Wilson, on: "Be it resolved that there should
be a T.T.C. at Brandon Oollege". Class '59 had the
negative.
This brought us do,wn to the final debate, February 2(3, having Cla,ss '59 pitted against Class '61,
Kay Pue and Herb Murray vs. Don Goodfellow and
Mervyn Letts, on the topic: "Be it resolved that
Canada should cease being a Satellite of the U.S."
Class '61, upholding the negative, won this final
debate. Congratula·tions, Class '61.
A special thank you is extended to all tho,se who
took part in our debates this year to make it such
a successful year, and to all those who gave of
their time to judge these debates and helped our
club in any way. Thanks aB.

RADIO PROGRAMS
Student Convenor
Delmer Kitch
Announcer
Ron Kirbys-on
"Brandon College on the Air", a fifteen minute broadcast from CKX Radio, was
presented f.our times in first term and three times in second term on a fortnightly
basis. These broadcasts, made up entirely ,of student programs, included panel discussions, singers, musicians, and repor,ts on College activities.
In the first program the managers of the various boards outlined their duties
as leaders of student activity. Then the Science Club, with moderator Jon Skafel,
and panelists Jim Donaghy, Gary Martin, and Ruth Brown, discussed the effects of
radioactivity.
Two weeks later, vocalists Doug Watson and Diane Fowler entertained with a
medley of semi-classical selections. Shortly before the close of first term, the Litnight production "The Pied Piper of Brandon College" was recreated for the radio
audience by members of the Teacher Training Class.
Our first broadcast -of 1959 featured the College Combo (Wayne Murton, Brian
Thorke}.son, Warren McKinnon, and Murray Bailey). Our second presentation included
tape recordings of Election Week formal speeches 'and a brief interview with the
Senior Stick Elect, Bob Melvin and the Lady Stick Elect Regina Armstrong. The
farewell program previewed the Major Production, with several members of the
cast ,taking pal'lt.
Del Kitch and I would like to thank those students who took part in the programs and we would also like to thank Mr. Frank Bird, Program Director of CKX
Radio and Mr. Hamid Donagh.

DEATH OF A GLEE CLUB
The '58-'59 Glee Club began with a large group 'and much enthu'siasm. Mrs. A.
Houston and convenor, Glen McKinnon devoted their very valuable time to put the
enthusiasm to use-but all in vain. After the first four or five gay meetings the
delight of the members seemed to be slo,wly strangled. An idea for the major production came to final collapse and little could be done when only a small minority
of the members remained. This seems to be a yearly occurrence with the Glee Club,
but-better luck next year.
Hilda Potier, T.T.C.

SCIENCE CLUB
This year the Science Club had a varied and profita'ble series of films on Geology,
Meteorology, Atomic Energy, and Oil Production.
Tours were made of the McKenzie Seed building and the Manitoba Telephone
Exchange where we were shown the entire layout, including the microwave system.
We were given lectures on Hard Rock Geology by Gary Martin, Soft Rock Geology
by Jim Dona.ghy, and Production and Uses of Lubricating Oil by Jon Skafel.
For the programme "Brandon College Ort The Air", the Science Club presented
a Panel discussion on "Are We Being Overexposed to Radiation?" with panel members
Ruth Brown, Gary Martin, Jim Donaghy, and Jon Skafel.
On the whole science Club, consisting of a few ruggedly faithful members, had
an active and' enjoyable year. For this we thank Jon Skafel and Professor Wong.

O'RAl'ORICAL CO,NTEST
The annual Oratoric'al <;::ontest took pla,ce on Friday, February 6, in the chapel.
The contest was based on an inter-year total point competition for the Senior Stick's
Trophy in which four students from each class took part.
C-ontestants for the Shakespearean Soliloquy were Kay Pue, class of '59, Donna
Wilkins, class of '60; Ron Rennie, class, of '61; Bill Poole, cl'ass of '62, and Lyle
Andrews, T.T.C. Thos,e giving an impromptu speech were Claire Coburn, class of '59;
Bob Melvin, class of '60; Hugh Halliday, class of '61; Henry Champ, class of '62,
and Barbara Heselgrave, T.T.C. Competitors for the sight reading were J,on Skafel,
class of '5·9; Marg Munson, cl-ass of '60; Mervin Letts, class of '61; Myra Johnson,
class of '62, and Linda Moore, T.T.C. Contestants for the prepared speech were Ron
Kirbyson, class of '59; Warren McKinnon, class ,of '60; Don Goodfellow, class of '61;
Lynn MacDonald, clas,s of '62, and Sihirley Adam, T.T.C.
The judges, Dr. Evans, Miss Walmsley, and Mrs. Houston, came to a decision
in which the classes of '60 and '61 tied. A sincere thanks goes to the Literary Board,
the competitors, the judges and the good turnout -of students which in combination
produced a fine evening, bringing to light the public speak,ing talent within our
college.

ATHLETIC BOARD
Athletics at the College were carried out on an even larger scale this year with
increased participation in the group sports. This was possible only through the hard
work of the Board Manager and the various Sports Managers as' well as an ,increase
in the grants to the Board. Even w1th this increase in finances it was found disappointing but necessary to withdraw from the Western Canadian Inter-collegiate Athletic
Union. Perhaps the main reason for withdrawal was the lack of interest shown by
the student body coupled with lack of player strength.
The major sports consisting of football, hockey, basketball, and cheerle'ading
were highly successful again this year. The football team, coached by Russ Roney
and aided by Dune Brown, had five impress,ive wins and two losses with the highlight
of the season being the 8-7 win over Notre Dame Houn-ds which was the fir,st such
victory in College history. Arrangements have been made for a return game with
Landmark to whom we lost a close game last fall.
For the first year the Hockey team ,paI1ticipated in the South West Manitoba
Hockey League finishing with a very noteworthy record of eight wins and four losses
in second place. At the time of this writing the team is still a strong contender for
the league championship. The boys gained recognition for the College by showing
their fine sportsmanship and spirit during the many trips to the various South Western
Manitoba points. Under the watchful eye of Coach Doug Clark, the boys began practices in early November terminating on January 29.
Basketball once again became established as one of the more popular sports due
to the hard, work of Manager Dave Hitchins. The two teams played a successful series
of horne and horne games with the Faculties of Arts and Science from the U. of M.
and the Portage Collegiate, as well as additional exhibition games with Portage Air
Port, B.C.I. and S.M.A. The high point of the season was the boys' series with the
University of Saskatchewan Junior Varsity Pups. The coaches, Bill Snydal and Carl
Anderson have done much to promote basketball at the College.
Without the cheerleaders, who were again under the guidanee of Bill EvaUS', our
teams would have lacked much of their eruthusiasm and spirit. The ten girls, busier
than ever with the increased number of games in all the major sports, were always
willing to lend a hand· in ticket sales or preparing a lunch.
The Track and Field Meet held September 27, the first College Athletic activ~ty
of the new semester, proved very interesting with an encouraging turnout by all
classes eager to begin the chase for the Sparks Trophy. Four records were broken
and one ,tied with Shirley Adam and Bob Simmons doin,g the damage. The Faculty
Trophy went to the Class of '60 for winning the Field Day.
The coveted Sparks Trophy was ,once again keenly contested with the class of
'61 emerging victorious. The softball tournament, curling, bowling, and the track
and field meet were the aotivities under this Trophy. This year the Board found it
necessary to eliminate the ping pong, volleyball, and snooker tournaments because
of lack of time and student interest.
The minor sports consisting of bowling and curling showed a definite increase
in interest w~h the curling being extended to three nights a week and the bowling
to two after-fours a week. With the artificial ice, the curling season was also lengthened as one hundred sixty students participated. There was an increase of eight
bowling teams over last year and each person partook in twenty-eight games.
Amid the rain and wind, the golf tournament was staged in early October.
Everyone who braved the weather had an enjoyable time concluding with the weiner
roast, sing song, and dance in the Hut.
Once again the girls' swimming was held at ,the Y.M.C.A. This activity was supported mainly by the T.T.C. girls and convened by Glenyce Currie.
This year's Board consisted of: Manager, -Bob Melvin; Student Managers: Football,
Torn Ross; Hockey, Wally Jasper; Basketball, Dave Hitchins; Curling, Gary Martin;
Bowling and Crests and Awards Board Representative, Barry 'McLennan; Lady and
Senior Sticks, Barb and Jim; Ladies' Athletic Representative, Glenyce Currie; and
Secretary-Treasurer, Car,ole Griffith. Our sincerest expressions of appreciation to
Faculty Advisors, Mr. Hannah and Mr. Tyler for their assistance and advice. Our
best wishes to next year's Board and Board Manager-the man they call Dick McD.

FOOTBALL

As in 1he past, the Brandon College Caps football team this year has ,brought us not only the
laurels of victory but also a series of games which
have been thrillers t,o watch. This has been to the
enjoyment of the many exuberant crowds which
have watched the games. Perhaps this can be said
even more emphatically for our past football season, as this year, the Caps, under the guidance and
watchful eye of coach, Rus,s Roney, did not go down
to their proverbial yearly defeat at the hands of
Saskatchewan's Notre Dame Hounds, but rather reversed the tables and squeezed out an 8 to 7 victory
over our perennial rivals.
The Caps opened their football season in a
minor key by losing their first game to the TechVoc Hornets, 20 to 9, while a record crowd of
over 500 fans watched the night contest in ideal
warm weather.
This first loss was avenged a week later when
the Caps deaLt the Daniel MacIntyre Maroons a
crushing 36 to 0 defeat at Kinsmen Stadium.
Two games were played with the Faculties of
Law and Medicine but the College's superiority was
clearly shown by the lopsided score-both being
shutouts for the Caps.
On Thursday, November 6, the Caps met Landmark, a virtually unknown but neventheless very
agUe and rugged team from south of Winnipeg.
In a fast paced and thrilling game, Landmark came
out on top with a 33 to 25 win
The last game of the season was played against
the Winnipeg West End Rams in which the Caps
won their most decisive victory of the year as
they trounced the Rams 61 to O.
The Caps ended their season with a creditable
five wins and two losses and with an amazing
aggregate of 247 points in 7 games. They had only
63 points scored against them. Much credit for this
year's excellent football should go to the coach
Russ Roney, and to trainers, Professor Hannah and
Dune Brown as well as to the boys themselves.
This year's football season has been a memor·
able one but we are looking forward to an even
better season next year.

BASKETBALL

Under the capable management of Dave Hitchins, the basketball teams of Brandon College soared to their
greatest he,igh in many a year. Successful at the gate as well as on the Hoor, the games became, this ye,ar,
a function rather than a farce.
The boys, playing with only three veterans, Champ, Hitchins, and Simmons, ended the season with a fivesix record. Two of these losses were by a single point, 3£-35 to Science and 47-46 to the Clowns. We saw
a team develop under "Whitey" Anderson. Herb Massin took ,over the centre position, and "Big Ralph" came
through game after game with sterling performances. Bob Lawson took a starting position a,s guard with his
former mate from B.C.I., Lloyd McCabe. Cage fans at B.C. can expect great things from these two in the future.
The other starting positions were taken ,by two second-year men, Champ and Hitchins. These two were the
highest scorers of the year and in one game made 46 points between them.
The bench, with Ross, Whetter, Knight, Antrobus and Simmons, had strength comparable to the first string.
Simmons particularly shone as the team's jump-shot artist, while Whetter stole rebound after rebound from
the opposing team. Knight, although the smallest man on the team, was nevertheless its m<lst effective shooter.
Highlights of the season were the Saskatchewan g ames in which the Caps lost two hard fought contests to
the Pups, and the game in which they defeated Arts.
A good nucleus should be back next year to give hoop fans in B.C. more enjoyment.
The girls', coached by Bill Syndal were defeated only twice, once by Science and an upset victory by
the Academy. However the Capettes avenged both these defeats.
The scoring star of the team was Joyce Balmer. Game after game, Balmer led her mates to victory
with brisk, confident shooting. Her wingers on the forward line were Eileen "Tiger" Hagan, whose spirited
playing sparked the Cappettes, and Shirley Adam, who had never played basketball before this year. She developed into the team's best ,all round p'layer. Veterans Griffith, Pue and Young gave the club e~perience and
polish, Remember Young's thirty-five foot shot
which forced the Science Club into overtime.
MacFarlane, a rookie, was a spark-plug on defence and Malcolm shows great future promise.
Munson, Peel, and MacDonald will give future
clubs good balance,
In summation, I can only say "Tip the hat"
to Bill Snydal who gave Brandon College its
most successful basketball team.
To those fans who came out to the games
this year a thanks is given to you as you helped
to pull basketball out of its former rut. We,
the players, and manager, Dave Hitchins, hope
that your support wili continue next year when
we hope to give you more thrills and more
basketball.

HOCKEY
The 1958-59 College Caps Hockey Team withdrew from the W.C.LA.D. and joined
the South Western Hockey League. The league is comprised of teams from Boissevain,
Melita, Pierson, Virden, Souris and Reston, as well as Brandon's representatives, the
Caps. This league proved to be ideal competition for !the Caps.
This year's team was made up in body of Freshmen, as there were only six
returnees on the team. The team showed a definite improvement over the previous
years' teams.
The Caps wound up in second place, after a very successful ,season. Their record
was eight wins and four losses. The Pierson Bruins, favorites to ,take the league
play-offs, surpassed the Caps.
The Caps ,showed a great deal of potential. Only one team had a "shut-out" game
against them. The team's scoring ability and strength was prevalent in all ~the games.
The Caps with four bus loads of exuberant fans, travelled to Reston 'on the
annual hockey excursion. This was one of the fastest and most exciting games of the
year. The Reston Arena was' jammed with local fans and College supporters. The boys
spurred on by College enthusiasm, won the game 6-2.
" "",
The Caps, under the able coaching of Doug Clark, a local hockey enthusiast,
played high calibre games with good sportsmanship. The club's trainer, Doc Hannah,>
was always on hand to offer first aid and encouragement. The Caps' appreciation is
""
given to these two.
The Caps were an impressive team on the ice this year and it will be interesting
to see how next year's team will f a r e . , " "

CURLING
The regular curling went very well this year, with a good turnout for the weekly
games. There was a total of 38 rinks participating in the regular curling which got
under way' well before the Christmas holidays and continued until the end of February.
The bonspiel was completed in the third week in February with Michael Skafel
and his rink, Neil Robertson, Marilyn Fenton, and Gayle Clark, winning the Melvin
Event and the Gord Williams Trophy. In the Russell Event Clark Mitchell's rink,
consisting of Sonny Solmundson, John Lockie, and Arlene Wilson, took top honors.
In the inter-year curling, which was held just after the annual bonspiel, Second
Year, with "Chip" Hand, Steve Hyrick, Werden Keeler, and Dunc Robertson, captured
first place in the first event. On the girls side, First Year defeated Second Year in
the final. The victorious girls were Judy Snider, Marg Young, Dawn Wellman, and
Lynne Webster.
The success of the curling season was a result of much time and effort on the
part of convener, Gary Martin.

SOFTBALL
One bright, ,sunny day last fall the campus of Brandon College and
the confines of Kinsmen Stadium echoed the shouts of a vast assembly of
softball enthusiasts.
In the boys' half of the tournament, the "Long-John" dad boys from
third year humiliated first year by a score too lop-s,ided to mention. A group
of second year boys defea,ted fourth year in the othe'r early game.
In the finals, third year continued to their winnings, to defeat second
year and walk 'away with top honors.
The T.T.C. boys d~d not compete in the tournament.
T.T.C. girls defeated first year girls, while second year defeated
fourth year. In the finals, T.T.C. defeated second year, in one of the better
games of the day.
Third year girls did not have a team on the field due to lack of players.
Congratulations are in order for the winners; for the losers . . . well,
perhaps next year.

GOLF TOURNAMENT
At 4:30 on Thursday, October 2, a hardy gr,oup of warmly clad golfers
met at the City Golf Course to brave the cold and rain to test their skill
as golfers. The enthusiasm of the group was not dimmed by the weather
and pair by pair the group dwindled until aU were slashing and slicing
their way around nine holes before returning to the warmth of Mazing
bonf,ires where weinel's, buns, and cokes were served as the ideal ending
to such an outing.
Prizes were awarded to Bill Keams and Sharon Barlow who combined
to total up a score of 47 which was very good under such circumstances.
Congratulations to you both.
Congl'atulati,ons are also :in order for Carole Griffith and Jim Bower
who showed great turthfulness in gaining the name of the "Most Honest
Golfers".
Many thanks to Donna McDonald and Gil Giem who worked hard to
gain the success that the tournament proved to be.

CHEERLEADERS
Ten girls comprised the 1958-59 cheerleading team. They cheered at football games,
hockey games, the Hockey Excursion to Reston, and basketball games. The girls cheered
at two basketball games at the University
of Manitoba and one at Porta,ge la Prairie,
as well as at the home games. The cheerleaders had a very busy and successful season.
Bill Evans again this year did a great deal
to spark the team with his coaching aibilities.
Murray Bailey attended practices, preparing
to undertake the position which Bill will
vacate next ftall.

BOWLING
The Brandon College five pin league commenced
on October 22 this season with 27 teams participating. Due to the many teams competing, some games
had to be brought over from Friday to Monday.
At the end of first term Dave Hitchins had a
commanding 32 point bulge over his nearest rival,
Dave Halstead.

Roll-off Winners

Afte-r Christmas some teams seemed to slip due
to the lack of attendance of their players but the
competition remained very keen. The final standing of the top ten teams is as follows: Hitchins 3-64,
Campbell 362, DeMare 3'25, Halstead 301, Elliott
283, Grant 278, Young 276, Kirbyson 270, Champ
264, and Brooks 264.
During the regular season Glenyce Currie took
high average honors for the girls with a commendable 176 average.
Gary Campbell captured the honors for the oys
with a 2-23 average.
The high single for the girls was 276 by Carol
Griffith and in the doubles Donna MacDonald and
Shirley Young shared the high doubles, both with
a 444 total.
For the boys Murray Wyborn took the high
single with a 314 and Cam Davreux captured the
doubles with a 571.
After eleven weeks of league competition the
roll offs began on February 14. The top ten teams
parNci,pated and Dave Hitchins team again' captured top honors by edging his nearest rival George
DeMare in a three game series, 2685 to 205075.

Girls' Inter-Year

The .season was climaxed with the inter-year
competition at the Brandon Bowling Alley on February 16. Differing from last year's five team
bowling, this year included five men's teams and
five girls' teams.
Although the consensus around the campus was
that the fourth year team was much too strong for
the rest of the pack, the gallant second year team
waltzed through with the honors although fourth
year did exert some pressure on the winners.
The totals were: Second year 2769, Fourth year
2692, First year 2,595, and Third year 23'7'5
The Second year squad included Campbell, Letts,
Gordon, Kirbyson, and Hitchins.
The girls' event included a great deal of excitement. Sparked by the superio,r bowling of
Glenyce Currie, the Fourth year team came through
rather easily into top place. Glenyce was tops for
all the bowlers of the day with a high single of
298. The totals were: Fourth year 2122, second
year 2038, Third year 1959; and 1Nr~t year 1841.
The victorious Fourth year girls team consisted
of Young, Gash, Wilson, Macdonald, and Currie.
Checking over past years, one can say that the
1958-59 season was the best ever, due to the keen
competition amongst teams. The averages this year
proved to be the highest since the league started,
indicating potentialities of future campus bowling.
Thanks should be extended to Barry McLennan
and Bm Poole for their diligent work in supervising this year's successful College bowling.

FRESHIE WEEK

..

Freshie Week once again got under way with
the annual S.C.M. Reception. Mixing games and a
sing-song helped to break the ice and as the evening
progressed, everyone became better acquainted. The
co-convenors of Freshie Week, Regina Armstrong
and Del Kitch, gave the details of the Freshie
activities and announced that costumes would be
"sacks" for both boys and girls.
Thursday morning orientation lectures were given by Dr. Evans, Dr. Perdue and Miss Walmsley.
These were followed by the regular chapel service
and a Freshie meetin·g. Thursday afternoon was
highlighted by a snake dance through the streets
of Brandon, complete with police escort.
At the Royalty Contest on Thursday evening,
MYl'a Johnston and Gary Campbell were chosen as
Queen and King, attended 'by Princesses Elaine Veale
and Margaret Young, and Princes Murray Smith and
Wayne Fawcett.
Friday morning all Frosh assembled for Scat
Tests, a new venture for the College conducted
by the Faculty. This was followed by a scavenger
hunt which was enjoyed by all who took part.
The costume judging took place Friday afternoon. This proved to be most interesting, as all
the Frosh displayed outstanding imagination and
ingenuity. The decision proved a difficult one, but
finally it was narrowed to Dawn Wellman and Ed
Loucks, who were awarded their prizes on, Saturday
~ight at the Frosh Frolic.
Memories .of the Rodeo will long remain vivid
in the minds of the Freshies, where the mud pit
was the order at the day. The. Pep Rally on Friday
evening, under the capable hand of Merv Letts
took the form of a weiner roast and sing song followed by a dance in the Hunt.
Saturday morning was the usual hustle in preparing for the annual Freshie Parade and after a
cafeteria dinner the floats were lined up in readiness to begin their trek through the downtown
section of Brandon. The floats included a scene
from Men's Residence and Clark Hall-both occupying the same float (and also 'including, I hear, a
raid on the Clark Hall section), an Athletic Float,
Academic FLoat, and others, ending with the very
impressive Royalty Float.
At the final ceremony all Freshies were sworn
in as members of the B.C.S.A.
The Frosh Frolic brought a close to the few
days filled with humiliation and embarrassments.
However, during this week, many friends were made
and the newcomers began to feel a part of the
College.

S.C.M. RECEPTION

FROSH FROLIC

Freshie Week began with a bang' this year
with a rousing reception held in the "Hut". All
the freshies sported name tags which had to meet
rigid requirements, exactly two inches by four
inches and the men were constantly on the lookout
for a name-tag with a desirable owner.

On September 20, the Ag. School was the scene
of Frosh Frolic 'f>8. With three days of rig,orous
and hectic activity behind them, the Freshies there
received their final welcome.

Everyone got acquainted during a program of
games, songs, and skits which we·re enjoyed by
alL Amidst this boister,ous atmosphere the. freshies
got their first impression of the College, a prof,ound
impression which helped to make them fe'el a part
of the student body.

The impressive crowning ceremony, by Dr. Evans,
of the Freshie Queen and King, Myra Johnston and
Gary Campbell, followed lunch. Attending the sovereigns wer,e Princesses Elaine Veale and Margaret

TRACK AND FIELD DANCE
On Saturday evening, September 27, after a successful and exciting Track and
Field meet, a dance was held in the Agricultural School. As we arrived the words
TA:CK AND FIELD on the front of the auditorium, blue and gold streamers and
very athletic figures pasted on the blinds greeted us. Much appreciation goes to Janet
Mooney, J'ohn Chudzik, and Mike Yakimishyn who did the decorating.
Music was provided by Frank Woodmass and his orchestra.
"Chip" Hand, Master of Ceremonies, very ably handled the program and kept
us all well entertained with his jokes. Many thanks, "Chip"!
Janet Mooney and' Bob Melvin won the Elimill'ation Dance. How are your croc,odile
twins, Janet? Eileen Hagan and Warren McKinnon won the Statue Dance.
A delicious lunch, convened by Nona Malyon and Gerald Butler, was much
appreciated by all. At lunch time, Dr. Evans presented ribbons to our Athletes in
the various events. Our special congratulations to Shirley Adam and Bob Simmons.
Much appreciation is conveyed to Professor and Mrs. Hannah who acted as our
chaper-ones.
"Hail Our College", "Hippi Skippi", and the respective class and faculty yells
were the finale to a delightful ev,ening. Our appreciation is extended to co-conveners
Jack Matheson and Louise Dechka and to all those wh-o helped to make this dance
a success.

CLASS OF 160 PARTY
On Wednesday, October 21st, 1958, a good representation of the dass of '60 piled into cars and
headed to Alexander for a fowl supper and the
start of our class party of the year. The day had
been dull and wet. At 5:30 when we left there
was still some rain dropping. However this did
not dampen our spirits; on the contrary, it heightened ·our appetites. Eagerly w,e sped towards the
United Church at Alexander. We arrived in a body,
on time, but much to our aghast the church was
filled with people waiting to go downstairs ahead
of us. Time dragged ,on until someone suggested
that we given the organ a bit of life. We persuaded
Wally Jasper to tickle the keys, much to thfil
pleasure of the people there. The result was an
enjoyable interlude of quiet yet modern music
while we waited. Then our number were called
and we went downstairs to devour all that delicious
food. Loosen your belt and dig in, I thought.
After the excellent repast we gathered in our
group and headed ,back to the Hut where there
was dancing and games.
Tom Ross,our class president, brought his tape
rec,order to the party and we enjoyed hearing ourselves on tape.
Not satisfied with our party at the Hut we all
gathered together to go to Bing Juckes Drive-Inn.
If you can imagine it, we had something more to
eat. Sitting around one long table the party took
on new life as stories and tales flew and John
Lockie gave us a take-off on a British sportscaster,
interspersed with c,ommercials, courtesy' Wally Jasper. But soon the evening was over and we started
back to our respective homes, hoping that we
'Would get together again soon.
Many thanks go to our chaperones, Mr. and Mrs.

dent and our social -convener, Donna McDonald
for arranging the evening.

PARTY

Get acquainted day! Remember those days in
elementary school? You hated them. But this getacquainted day in October 1958 was different. This
was college and you were a fr,osh. In classes you
just couldn't find out who was who. Then the
Class party came!
It all started on a Wednesday at 5-:15. Two
buses loaded at the college with the class on '61
members. Destination-Wawanesa for the traditional
fowl supper.
All went well, ev-en though the weather was a
little wet. Girls were carried -over the mud and
puddles by gallant fellows of '61-fr-om the bus
to the church where the supper was being held. A
delicious supper of turkey and all the trimmings
was enjoyed by everyone. Too much for some, for
a few who enjoyed three helpings. One of our
members from Clark Hall decided a snack would
be just the thing when she arrived back at college.
What did she do? Of course, she took scraps of
turkey and buns home in her purse. Did you enjoy
the snack?
About 7:00, happy, over stuffed, '61 members
climbed ,on the 'buses and we headed for home.
Singing, gabbinlg, games, etc., occupied the members on the way home.
Upon arriving hack in Brandon we immediately
headed for Barney's Drive-Inn where a pre-arranged social awaited us. Then '61 members got acquainted to the beat of the juke box. What better
way for kids to meet than by dancing?
Prizes were given for some of the dances,
though I never received one. Remember who won
the elimination dance?
Curfew time arrived and all headed for homein cars. We sent the buses home earHer. '61 members were happy, better acquainted and feeling
more at home in their College surroundings.
Thanks go to our class president, Keith Elliott,
and our two social convenors, Penny Smith and
Wayne Hand for organizing a completely successful
party, and a special vote 'of thanks go to Profes-sor
and Mrs. Birkinshaw, our chaperones.

CLASS

PARTY

On a rainy evening last October, the members
,of the Class of '62 departed to partake in 'a fowl
supper at Kemnay. This was to the scorn of our
haughty senio,rs, who thought it only fitting to
trav,e'l at least fifty miles for their me,at However
after the supper, everyone agreed that he would
have had to travel 'a very great distance to find
any better cooks than the ladies of the Kemnay
United Church. Cars for our excursion were provided by non-resident students. Following the supper the class members gathered at Park Community
Centre, where a dance was held until midnight.
The evening was a fine success thanks to our convenors Lynne MacDonald and Gerald Butler, and
our chaperone, Mr. Wilson.

HOCKEY EXCURSION
At 5:30 on Friday, January 9, a group of keen,
enthusiastic Brandon College Hockey supporters
climbed aboa'rd four 'buses and the hockey excursion
for 1959 was underway. The destination-Reston.
The College fans swarmed through the narrow
doors of the Reston Arena, and occupied nearly
aN the waiting room.
.~

Before the commencement of the game the
cheerleaders, in the gold skirts and blue sweaters,
led the CoUege fans in singing "On to Victory".
This was followed by the Oollege Yell, "Hippi
Skippi". Then came three fast and furious periods
of hockey, as the Caps overpowered the Reston
Rockets, 6-2. Between the second and third periods,
Gladys Patterson entertained those present with an
exhibition of baton twirling and precision marching.
After the game the cl10wd went to the Reston
Memorial Dance Hall where everyone danced to
the CoUege Combo.
At 2 a.m. the tired, hoarse and happy gang
climbed back on the buses for the long journey
home.
Our thanks is extended to Arnie Tweed and
Glenyce Currie, the co-conv,eners f,or a jO'b well
organized. Many thanks to the chaperones, Profess'or
Hannah, Mrs. Cowan, Barb. Russell and Jim Melvin.

The annual Valentine Dance was held on Saturday, February 14, at the Composite High School.
Soft lights, smiling cupids, 'red hearts, and
streamers mingled to form an aura of romance
in keeping with the theme of the night. The excellent music supplied 'by the "College Combo"
added to the effect.
A feature of the dance was a short peri,od of
entertainment, organized and performed by various
members of T.T.C. Under coloured lights there
appeared a chorus line supplemented by the singing of Leone Farguson, Betty Birch and the male
chorus with "Smok,e Gets In Your Eeyes" and "Ivy
Rose", followed by Bob Dodd's arrangement of
"Pretend You Don't See Her", and Jack Bell's rendition of "The 'End". An. original tap dance routine
was expertly performed by Diane Outhwaite and
Hilda Potier. Each of these performances earned
a great deal ,of applause from an appreciative
audience.
Following this, a dehci'ous lunch was served.
The dance ended with "Hail Our College" and
and the various class yells.
A great deal of time an deHort was put into
the Valentine Dance by T.T.C., especially by the
conveners, Gail Bailey, Mae Millard, and Evelyn
Stewart, and they are to be congratulated on a
wonderful evening.

OFFICERS MESS OPEN HOUSE
The friendly atmosphere of the Officers' Mess prevailed
this year at the annual Armed Services Dance, held on
January 17. The Ag. School Auditorium was transformed
into a typical meS$ complete with games' room, lounge,
fireplace and lots of food.
The dance was somewhat of an innovation as most had
no idea how the service people live or in what sort of atmosphere they entertain. Most were favorably impressed and
it was agreed that this dance was one of the best.
A refreshing change was the way in which lunch was
served. The turkey and trimmings were available at all
times during the party. Many thanks go to Ruth Brown and
Gary Prior for the delectable lunch.
Music was provided by a Hi-Fi set furnished by George
Peary and company. The party was also unique in that no
M.e. was present. The members of the Armed Forces, acting as hosts, circulated among the guests to keep things.
moving smoothly.
Many thanks also go to "Chip" Hand and his assistants
for the excellent games room they provided. It seemed that
everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves there. Thanks
should be given to all members of the Armed Forces for the
excellent job done with the decorations which created a

HORROR HOP
Skeletons, ghosts, devils, witches, cavemen-When a large number of
ghostly 'beings entered the "Aggie School" on Saturday night, November 1
. we realized that the Sigma Mu Horror Hop had 'begun. Inquiries being made
to discover the identity of the M.C. were quieted when he removed his enormous rubber mask. Oddly enough, after this removal the jokes seemed
to improve, perhaps because Mr. Ross's voice carried better.
A "snowball" dance started the evening and thus we found a caveman
matched with a purple people eater and a black-toothed witch the partner
of Batman. The costume judging followed, and had ghosts, goblins, vampires, pirates, and all horror personages walking about the hall before the
judges, Mrs. Cowan, Dr. and Mrs. Kidd. They picked "Death" (whom we
recognized portrayed by Donna Wilkins with its grasping fingers, and a
wild man (whom we had trouble identifying but believed to be Rae Westcott because of the historic hairdo) as the horror winners. Other notables
were the bride of Frankenstein, a bright red devildress, a sack modeler,
"Arsenic" and its companion.
The odd, but scrumptious combination for lunch: chicken and buns,
apples and cokes stimulated everyone and gave them enough energy to live
through the next event of the "Hop".
The next entertainment presented to us the subject of vampires. Superb
on the spotlight was "Flora", the vampire leader (revealed to us as Henry
because of the shapely legs). "Barb" (Chipper as we know him), and "Maxie"
(played by Warren) did a very artistic dance. During the splendid singing
we recognized the voices of John "Sarah" and Brian imitating a "Currie".
Especially nota'ble was "Someday you are going to die", the chain gang's
"Heave Ho!" and the skirmish in the dark. George Peary's curtain speech
implied that "You can beat our girls 'but you can't whip our boys". This
was fully enacted although not too convincing to some.
Back to civilization and the human race for more dancing and "Hail
Our College". However, horror returned with classes rivaling each other's
yells, and faculties trying to better each other with theirs.
The Sigma Muers must be congratulated on the success of their dance.
Maureen Watkins '62

KAPERS

The scene at the Aggie School had changed from a thing of horror to
a romantic, candlelight setting. Streamers hung from light fixtures, pictures decorated the walls, while the dance floor was circled with tables
and chairs.
Girls proudly escorted their dates about-corsages dangling as they
went. Most of the corsages were on the theme. Clare Coburn won first prize
with his pick and shovel, and Bob Melvin won second. Congratulations go
to Dilys and Jean! I hear that this is the third year that Dilys has taken
a prize.
Smartly decorated dance cards provided a very sociable evening. Each
dance had names suitable to our theme.
The lunch-tuna fish and chicken salad, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles,
buttered rolls, punCh, chocolate angel food cake and ice cream-was
delicious.
Janet Mooney made a big impression on the audience during intermission. There were favourable comments also about the chorus line of "The
Last Chance Saloon."
I'm sure that we all wish to congratulate the girls on their planning.
Special congratulations go to Donna McDonald, Co-Ed· Social Convenor,
and Glenyce Currie, Mistress of Ceremonies.

ELECTION WEEK
In the third w,eek in January the campus was
a veritable beehi,ve, and fior good reason-student
electiQn! Though Nona Ma.lyon aUld Clark Mitchell
were recognized by acclamation as the managers
of the Publications Board and Crests and Awards
Board respectively, at the close of nominations on
Tuesday, five other off.ices remained to be decided
by secret balltot, with the voting scheduled for
Friday, January 23·rd.
The first big feature of the campaigns was postermaking, with each of the candidates setting up
shop in one of the allotted classed-vooms and engaging as many helpers as possible. Amid the hum
of voices, music from porta'ble radios, and occasional
laughter, busy fingers fashioned name-tags and
posters.
At 10:30 Tuesday evening the main halls Qf B.C.
took ,on a carnival appearance as bare walls suddenly became billboards, announcing the integrity
of one candidate and the suitability of another.
We haven't the space to even attempt a description
of the colour, the variety, and the novelty ·of the
whole spectacle.
Then Qn Wednesday afternoon, the recreation
annex was jammed 'a·s the carniva'l continued. The
"barkers" vied for the attention of the crowd, which
turned, almost as a single body, from <one act to
another. Murray Bailey's drums, Janet Mooney's
black face act, Connie MacDonald's dancin,g, George
Peary's judo exhibition, the color slides, the eyecatching trio of dancing girls, the "Ozark Ike" show,
the weight-guessing boys (whose pitch was, "Step
right up girls"), the dart games, the boxing stunt,
and so many other items were savoured by the
wide-eyed onlookers, who, as they enjoyed free
cokes and doughnuts and identified themselves with
the perf.ormers, formed an integral part of the
show.
Yet the climax of the campaign was still to
come. By Thursday afternoon the carnival had all
but departed, taking with it the noise and the
gaudy colors. The coUege chapel was the scene
of theall-important student speeches. The sincerity
of the speakers was accentuated by the antics of
the timekeeper and the gong ringer whose "liedetector" and array ·of alarm clocks guarded the
time light. In what seemed a very short ti:me, the
candidates had finished and were filing out into
the hall, followed by the crowd visibly impressed
by what they had witnessed. Undoubtedly the feeling was summed up by the person who said "I only
wish that they all could be elected."

INSTALLATIONS
On Saturday January 24th, a week of hectic
activities, including campaigning, poster-making and
speeches culminated in installations night at the
Aggie Scho·oL
The first item was a meeting ,of the old Main
Executive of the B.C.S.A. as secretary Regina
Armstron.g presented rings to outgoing Sticks Barb
RusseH and Jim Melvin.
The program for the evening was put Oll; by the
Sigma Mu. Featured were: Dick Balchen and his
piano styling, Doug Watson vocal arrangements,
a recitation of (so called) army experIences by Briaill
MacKenzie, a tale ,of woes by a Clark HaU maiden
(Cam Davreux) and a stimulating conversation between "Oogie" and his versatile ventriloquist Henry
Champ, along with many other laugh provoking
acts.
Interspersed announcements were made by Clark
Mitchell, the M.C., concerning the elections of officers to the new council.
FoUowing the program, the new members were
assembled Ion the stage where Barb Russell handed
over the "stick" to the new recipient, Regina Armstrong and the successful candidate for the office
of Senior Stick, Bob MelvIn, receIved his from his
brother, Jim Melvin.
A reception line' was then formed givin,g everyone a chance to congratulate the newly elected
officers. Bob Melvin-Senior Stick, Regina Armstrong-Lady Stick, Mervyn Letts--Literary Board,
Dick MacDonald- Athletic Board, Clark MitchellCrests and Awards Board, Nona Malyon-Publications Board, Cecilia Andreychuk-Secretary B.C.
S.A. A most enjoyable lunch followed.
Soon, the 1nevitable fl()l'lowed, and with Clare
Coburn well in command, the proceedings began
for auctioning off the campaign posters. The bidding, while not as wild as in previous years, still
managed to realize a fine profit for the Hut fund,.
The evening continued with dancing to records
till 12 o'clock, bringing to an end ·a thoroughly
en'joyable evening.

Two fellows were strolling across the campus.
The tower bells were ringing.
"Beautiful, aren't they?" remarked the student.
"P.ardon?" inquired the guest.
"I say, they're beautiful, aren't they?"
"I'm sorry", roared the guest, "but I can't hear
a word for those damn chimes."

SNOW FLURRIES
"The best College dance I've ever attended!"
was the comment of numerous seniors ·after the
final yell had echoed in Comp. High last Friday,
November 28. The deoora,tions, convened by Pat
Stanley and Glenn Beck, were novel and very attractive, especially the idew of lowering the rafte·rs
with the blue streamers and the snowflakes which
eliminated the basketball look. All the girls, prettily attired in' their frothy formalls and flowers
blending witID the handsomely suited gentlemen,
greatly contributed to the overall picture. Everything
seemed to be peTfeot right down to the dainty candle
table ·centers and then came the' lunch! No doubt
about lit, this was the best yet-surpassing both the
Co-Ed and the Sigma Mu. Congratulations in this
phase go to Nona Malyon and Penny Smith. The
dinner music, a delightful innovation was supplied
by Dick Boalehen.
All the invitations sent out to former gradua'tes
seemed to "payoff" as there were several grads
present.
George Peary, a verY' capable M.C., kept the
msoothly rolling. Mr. and Mrs. Birkinshaw
were chaperones while the Syncopators supplied
their usual high quality music.

FOCUS
On Wednesday, January 28, 1959, CKX-TV's Johnny
Gilbert was host to Brandon College, on his programme,
Focus. Representing the College in various phases of activities were: the cheerleaders; the College Combo; the Senior
Stick, Jim Melvin, and Lady Stick, Barb Russell; the SticksElect, Bob Melvin and Regina Armstrong. Also featured
were a group of "jive artists", Eileen Hagan, Connie MacDonald, Jack Matheson and Gerald Butler, and films of the
election week proceedings at the College.
This programme was created to acquaint the public
with the various activities of the College. We hope they
found the half-hour informative and entertaining.
Our thanks are extended to CKX for making this show
possible. Perhaps it will become an annual part of College
activities.

ULook Your Best at Play and School"

EATON"SHas the Fashions That Young Canada
W'ants for

The New Smarter Look
*

Young Canada makes its own rules for fashion, fads and fun, and
the newest is for a smarter look at school and play. You'll see it at
your school, in your crowd, it may be a uniform, it may be just a
distinctive way of dressing-it may be an individual accessory or a
fashion the whole gang takes up-but from small fry to pace-setting
teen-agers the look is there-smart, suita,ble, well put together.

EATON'S turned as always to Young Canada's wants, follows the
trends, keeps ag ear cocked for special requests, stocks up on the
fashions you want for busy days in or out of class.
