A PUBLICATION of this sort is to recount
the activities of the past college year. It is, therefore, appropriate
that this edition of the SICKLE be ,dedicated to those principles
which any college or university should strive to achieve and
uphold.
The keeping of a high academic record should be the primary
purpose of a college; all other things should be and must be
secondary to that.
The student leaving college should know a good deal about
life, not only should he know social graces, which anyone can
pick up at college without too much trouble, but more important
he should understand politics, economics, appreciate ar t and
music, appreciate good books and have learned to think for
himself.
No one of the students should ever accept anything he hears,
is told or reads as gospel, he should examine, analyze and make
up his own mind. He shoul'd not merely then take a subject
hecause it is just another credit, but because a good deal that is
worthwhile can be gleaned from it. Never shouLd the professor
become the one and only authority on a s.ubject; never should
his words be C'opied blindly and parrotec1 back on an exam.
A student can b~' advised, counseled, helped or even gu~ded
by a professor, he should not permit himself to ever be made the
slave of a professor's dictates.

1'0 these principles and to many others not even mentionc.U,
is this yearbook, the twenty-ninth edition of the SICKLE,
dedicated. May Brandon ColIE)ge ever strive to achieve them.

*
*
ONCE MORE A YEARBOOK is published;
the end of yet another academic year is upon us. It
is hoped that whatever changes have been inc'orporated into this present volume will be received
by the reader as improvements, and if not that, at
least be judged as being on a par with previous
editions.
'The thanks of all the staff, anld in particular
those of the editor and assistant e,c1itor, are heartily
given to all those who in any way helped in the
preparation of the book. There was a lot of help
offered by various people and numbers being what
they are, listing them all is impossible.
Nor must one forget those persons whom one
almost never sees; the men whose work makes
possible publication of the yearbook, the printers
and the engravers. To these people also go our
thanks and appreciation.
All the staff sincerely hope that this yearbook
will satisfy the readers, and that any remarks 'Or
references in the text about any specific persons
will be taken cum grano salis.
THE EDITORS.

DR. EVANS' MESSAGE TO THE
SICKLE, 1956

FOR THE PRIVILEGE of saying a brief word
to the readers of the Sickle I would like to express my sincere
thanks. 'The opportunity of speaking to the students in general,
and the graduands in particular, I highly prize.
'To the students of undergraduate years let me say at once
that we have enjoyed having you with us and that we trust that
your experiences thus far have been such as to enable you to be
happy in the thought that you are a vital part of Brandon College.
You have already tested your abilities by meeting the normal
requirements of the accepted educational program, and it is for
you now to set aside all hindrance in order that true success may
crown your continued efforts as you move on toO greater
achievement.
To those who soon will gra.duate I would like to stress three
thoughts.
In the first place let us all be ever grateful for the privileges
that have, or may yet come our way for only he who can be
truly grateful can worthily aspire to higher accomplishment.
The second thought is that in the great procession of experience in which we think of time, the "NOW'" is the all important
moment. We are always related to the past for what we are, and
we are quite confident that there is a future of some sort in store
for us which we, in a large measure, determine by projecting
ourselves into it. TODAY, however, IS WHAT WE HAVE, and
happy we may well be if we fully appreciate that fact with each
sunrise. 'Tomorr'0w, in a sense, is a promissory note and yesterday is a cancelled cheque.
In the third place, let us not forget that roses grow on thorny
bushes and that the bloom is c·ommonly found at the end of a
heavily barbed branch or stem. The road before you will not be
an easy one, and I am sure you wou1d not want to have it so. You
already know that it is through struggle that victory is gained,
and that it is in striving that you become what you want to be.
S·o let us be happy in our past achievement, determined in making
the present count for the most, anel eager to mOve on into a future
of opportunity, Joining with Browning in one of his valuable
contributions to life when he saiel,-" Then, welcome each rebuff."

STICKS' MESSAGE
The publishing of the Sickle marks the completion 'Of student activities
f or 1955 - 56 and it also affords our last opportunity to speak as members of
the B.C. st;]lJdent body. It has been our honour and privilege this year to serve
as Sticks. This wonderful experience will ever be among our most cherished
memories. For this o,p portunity of expressing our fin'al thoughts we thank
the Sickle staff and we congratulate them for again successfully producing
this book. 'The SICKLE is but one of the many traditions of Brandon College
which it has been our pleasure to know and value in our years here. The
co-operation, enthusiasm and honest effort that goes into maintaining the
high standard of the SICKLE is reflected in every activity of the student body.
Brandon College traditions have not only been maintained this year, but in
many cases have been enhanced and improved by the spirit and interest
manifested from Freshie Week through to the Grad Banquet. To each of you
who has taken pride in your Alma Mater and pride in yourself as a student
of Brandon College, we say a sincere thank you, for it is you who has made
this year the success it has been. Our thanks to the faculty and, a,dministratjon,
whose advice and assistance have been given so willingly and capably. We
·deem it an honour and a privilege to have worked for, and with everyone at
Brandon College.
Farewells are never easy when so much is being left behind but ours is
mitigated in that we can carry away memories, ideals and friendships 'Of our
days at College. In leaving our Alma Mater we know others will come who
will cherish her as we do, and who will uphoM and respect her tr3!ditions as
we have tried to do. We hope to see Brandon College progress and gr'ow, and
to those who will be part of her future we wish every success and good fortune.

PROF. R. L. BENNET: Pro£. Bennet, born in
Winnipeg, graduated from St. ;Paul's College
in 1951 with a B.A. and went on to obtain his
B. Paoo. at the Fort Garry campus in 1952.
The following year he attended summer school
at the Institute de Phonetique in Paris and in
1955 he received his B. Ed. Prior to his coming
to Brandon College, where for the past four
years he has been professor of French and
Latin, he served as a substitute teacher in various Winnipeg high schools. The class of '58,
feels that it is an honour to have Prof. Bennet
as the Honorary President for the past two
years.
PROF. E. A. BIRKINSHA W: Professor Birkinshaw was born at Rapid City, Manitoba and
graduated in 1931 from the University of Manitoba with his B.Sc. (Honours) in Mathematics
and Physics. As a student he instructed both
at the Fort Garry site and at United College.
While coming to Brandon upon his graduation, Pro£. Birkinshaw has since done graduate work at the California Institute of Technology and at the University of Toronto, on a
'T eaching Fellowship.
Prof. Birkinshaw's recreational activities
used to be primarily baseball and soccer, but
he says they are now confined to curling,
fishing and shooting.
PROF. M. F. CAN'NON: Prof. Cannon received her education at Blyth an·d Brandon
Collegiate. She has had thirty years of teaching experience in all types of Manitoba schools
and is particularly interested in the Teacher
Training Course now offered at Brandon College. After receiving her B.A. from the University of Manitoba in 1930, she went on to
receive an M.Ed. in 1935.
Prof. Cannon is a member of the University
Women's elu b, and a past presi.dent of the
Manitoba Education Association, of which she
is now an honourary member. She had been

Brandon as Professor 'Of Geology and in 1925
he became Dean, a position he held until 1928
when he resigned in favour of the position of
President.
Dr. Evans' opinion of students today is as
follows: He ·di,dn't wish to class them as
masses but rather as individuals. "Students
today," says Dr. Evans, "take much more for
granted than they used to. Due to the rapid
expansion of our country they find it har,d to
realize that not many years ago things were
much different. This probably explains why
they do not seem to truly appreciate all this
that comes from the inheritage of the past, but
it also partially explains the tendency for them
to speak out more today."
Dr. Evans' chief outdoor interests include
shooting, game birds, golf, curling, basketball,
and hockey. He coache,d the latter two for
several years. Upon retiring from coaching
hockey he refereed for a number of years more.
Dr. Evans is very proud of Brandon College

Hail Alma Mater! Praise be to thee,
Bound in thy grace, forever to be
Contrite Devotion Borne in thy name,
Bearing the vows that we proclaim
Devout allegiance, and glory in thy name.
Youth in its bud, we entered these halls
Eager to seek the truth that enthralls
Our hearts revere, the joys that share
Our minds are free to seek, to dare.
Youth in its blossom, we strive to serve our God.
Grant that we serve thee throughout our age,

• • • 1956
Prellicting the Luture, as is now my task,
is a very arduous and demanding art. In the
past this field has been bQth maligned and
clouded by numerous pseudo-prophets who
l'ely on nothing more than their vivid but
perfidious imaginations, and fleeting reference
to the available facts.
I wish to lift this cloak of mysticism and
present to you, the true future of '56. I merely
subjected the problem to the scrutiny of the
scientific method, thus employing the qualities
of objectivity, conciseness, and preciseness,
that is, truth rather than conjecture. Thus I
wish to place this work within the realm of
Science, along with such newcomers as love
and marriage. Indeed, it is my hope that the
class prophecy will take its place beside Pavlov's .dog, as a classic Science.
My fellow classmates were placed :under
controlled observation in their natural environment. After an exhausting statistical survey,
conducted in the Townsend Laboratory of
Nesbitt, where a psychosomatic trance had been
induced by the ,o ver-consumption of food, the
following picture of the class of '56 was fO I'mulated. Because of my exacting methods,
you may accept my wor·cls as fact rather than
fiction. The time is a short twenty years hence.
This year 1976 finds our Hiltie, (the best
President we ever had), travelling about thc
world, captivating all his varied audiences with
his Goodlands accent and beguiling Irish
charm. Yes, Boris O'Stewart and his singing
dogs have made good.
W'h ile 'o n his Paris engagements, Hilt often
calls upon Mademoiselle Hannah, who uses the
1<'rench capital as a base for her globe-trotting
sorties. The years have been kind to Jean,
and true to her vow, she has remaine.d single.
I fear, however, the swath she has cut thro11<2'h
the Continental Cafe society is littered with
broken hearts.
And what of Norma, the other half ryf the
stardust duo of '56? Why she is in Spain,
naturally! However, 'Our Miss McDonald has
forsaken her profession of lady-bullfighter, she
prefers to tame the matadors. Young Norma
has been advocating of late that the husband
be made to weal' the wedding ring, not on his
finger mind you, but in his nose.
Ah yes, and Demo Craddock. our big Stick,
has as everyone predicte.d, made his pile and
expanded his pot. He's known as the jolly old
fat man of Bay Street where his fits of laughter
have the Toronto Stock Exchange in a constant uproar. Laurie's special assistant, in
charge of sharp deals, is none 'Other than Allan
Johmwn.
Al has become so proficient at collecting
money that he is constantly pestered by the

Federal Finance Minister, the Honourable
George Bell. In more informed circles he is
known as "sticky fingere.d Georgie". His
severest critic on the floor 'Of Parliament is the
leader of the opposition, the Honourable Ronald Booth, Q.C., who constantly raises the
objection that "the government's got all the
monies." Every year he introduces a bill to
provide a weekly box of "goodies" for all
college students.
He is opposed in this by the Honourable
:iHinister of Health and 'W elfare, Joan Ourlock,
who contends that college stu.dents are too fat
anyway. She advocates that the money should
be given to the Y.M.C.A. Joan has placed the
country's Social Work in the capable hands of
Margaret Basham. Our country is in excellent
lw.nds in this year of Mrs. Cowan, 1976.
Leaving Ottawa, I see that our West Coast
city of Vancouver boasts the foremost skin
specialist of the country, Dr. Nestor Shabits.
He has built up an enviable practice because
his patients never die and he never cures them.
A visit to Nestor's office is always enjoyable
because you are entertained by -the tittering
little jokes of receptionist Nadine Daniels.
Patient after patient never tires of hearing of
her famous operation, where the second doctor
r:sked to "cut in".
'The CBC's newest television program featllres the philosopher, lecturer and author,
Donald Frank Dillistone. His program is widely popular because he criticises the critics and
true to his training at CKX-'l'V he runs his
filmed commercials backwards.
Don had
occasion, the other day, to publicly censure the
Government's leading physicist. It seems that
Sir Hartley Bruce Harland, held up the last
inter-planetary flight from Mars to take a tall
dark Martian girl out to coffee.
We are all very proud of the Day Laboratories Ltd. of Montreal, which specialize in
testing the proof of the country's leading
spirits. Lorne has recently established a cancer
research section, which is headed by biochemi;t
Dr. Edna Engen, who hasn't yet had time to
have her dozen children.
However, all of our members have not
I'anged so far afield. Nich Yarish met with
immediate success as Brandon's new superintendant of Schools because he recreated the
positions of the Art and Music supervisors.
Joan Cressey Meyers, is our correspondence
secretary who runs an efficient Brandon household with Jack and their triplets. By statistical methods the class decided that 'Our ideal
family consisted of three and three-quarter
chiLdren and this was a reasonable approximation by the Meyers family. Joan buys her
drugs at the store of smiling Bob Ryan, who

also dispenses baby needs to the former Marina
Townsend. Forsaking the fidd of scholarships,
she is now busily engaged in raising four little
mounties.
And still in this day of '76 we have, to
serve spiritual needs, Kemble and Harris, our
own two ministers. Don commutes to his string
of missions, which stretch from coast to coast
in his same old gray dodge. Baptist Bob, is now
Robbie Harris, the successor to Billy Graham.
He circles the globe as he delivers his "fire
and brimstone" sermons which were inspired
back in Sociology IV. Oh yes, he has also
written his book on Christian Philosophy, which
is most highly recommended.
As for myself, my objective procedures
floundered when applied to my future. I ignor-

ed Jean Hahnah's suggestion that I might succeed Mr. Beamish. Somehow I just don't fit
a broom.
There we are, all '56el's. We were indeed
a varied lot, but from our initial differences
and contradictions, we have emerged in a oneness of class spirit. Out 'o f our diversity, there
has grown unity. It is unity seasoned with a
sparking dash of versatility.
Now my final prediction for this Brandon
College Class of 1956; we shall ever be a class,
united in this spirit; we will ever be true to
our Alma Mater, never to forget our debt.
God willing we shall make her proud.

CRESTS AND AWARDS
BOARD
This year of 1955-1956 was a busy one for
the Crests and Awar·c1s Board, though most of
our activities were concentrated in the '56 part
of the year. After a ro'Using start with three
managers in suc.cession we gathered ourselves
together and got d'o wn to the very important
lmsinel';s of discussing and arguing about those
people to be recognize·d for their contributions
to B.C.S.A. activities.
'T his year we got the record book well on
its way to completion, and the inscriptions put
on the Service Trophy. Thanks to Gordon
'Williams we have a new curling trophy to be
a warded to the winners of the Senior Sticks'
c.ompetition.The newly adopted constitution
carried us well on our way to success and
proved its worth as a much needed addition
to the board. Despite all this progress, there
is still room for improvement. The trophy
case is getting awfully crowded, and a new
one would be a wonderful addition.
Colour Night, 1956, was well attended and
turned out to be a function worthy of paying
tribute to those, who contributed most to the
Alma Mater in the course of the Academic year.
I would like to thank the members for all
the cheerful and willing help they have given
to the board and good luck to Paul Antrobus,
the manager for 1956-'57. May he have as
wonderful a year and as wonderful a board
as 1956 has had.

.

The Co-Ed Association is one which embraces all female students of Brandon College.
It can truthfully be said the very basis of this
organization is "Oneness" hence there develops
a prevading atmosphere of friendliness and
interdependance.
In October the Clark Hall Co-Eds were
hostesses at a tea to which all the mothers of
the girls and all out-of-residence members were
invited. The guests were received by lUrs.
Cowan, Jean Hannah, and Barbara Mills, the
head of the Clark Hall Council. Following a
dainty tea, the guests were taken on a tour of
the girl's residence, which enabled them to
see the many improvements that have been
accomplished during the past two years.
The Go-E,d Dance is the maj;o r event sponsored by this association. This year the dance
was entitled "Midnight Blues," and the programme and decorations carried out the theme
very effectively. The many compliments received after this function were indeed gratifying to the Co-Eds.

BOARD OF PUBLICATIONS
As this year's manager of the Board of
Publications I have been privileged to work
with a very amiable and enthusiastic group of
my fellow students. In some of our aspirations
we have failed but in others we have succeeded;
and to next year's manager, Clare Coburn, and
his hoard, we extend our best wishes. We hope
that they can improve upon our successes and
reverse ();ur defeats.
At this writing there is an excellent possibility that this" Sickle" may be out before the
end of classes. This will be a first, within
the recent history of B.C.S.A.
As for the "Quill" we feel that our school
paper is growing and, as a result, the student
interest is rising. This year we have attempted
to initiate a set editorial policy. It has brought
mixed results. However, we still think it is a
step in the right direction.
Mainly due to the efforts of the "Quill"
staff and with the assistance 'Of the administration, the old" Quill" room has been renovated
into a serviceable board room (complete with
Pogo murals courtesy of Bob Hilton and Red
McMurray.,)
Once again we exten,d best wishes and
sympathy to next year's board. Your worries
will be many but your satisfaction will be
proportionately great.

The Stndent Ch l'istian Movement has ha,ll
a full year of activities during '55 - '56. The
FJ'eshie Reception which it traditionally sponsors in tr.oduced this year's freshie group to
College ,Hfe and to themselves, with a friendly
and hearty welcome.
Soon we were rolling into football games,
and the group undertook to run the concession
there again this year.
Organized at the same time were the study
groups on different denominations. Following
t~1at was a series on Principles of the Christian
Faith, led by Father John Patrick of MacGregor. In second term we had a very worthwhile group with Rev. Cronin on the Parables.
These were thought and discussion pr ovoking groups that seemed to make a considcl'able
impression upon the stuiClent body.
Along with these regular activities have
come scattered yisits from other units. From

\\T'innipeg we have had monthly visits from
Bev. Burwell, General SecJ'etary of the S.C.M.
there . . Bev. has made it a policy to bring WinJlipeg students with him, in 'Order to foster
closer rel('.tions between them and the group
here.
We have had two visits from members of
the National Staff, one from the General SecJ'etary and one from the Study Secretary, Ted
Nichols and Bob Miller respectively.
The highlight of our year's activities was
sending two delegates, Molly Wrig'ht and Paul
Antrobus, to the Quadrennial Ecumenical Conference held during the Christmas holidays in
A thens, Ohio. Many thanks are due in this
regard to our Advisory Boar·d which was most
co-operative. vVe 've heard several good reports from these two on the conference, and
know it was really worthwhile.

WORLD UNIVERSITY SERVICE COMMITTEE
The vYorld University Service is a world
,wide organization of students and professors
on the university level. Founded after the
First World vVar, its aim is to establish unanimity and a spirit 'Of co-operation and brotherhood among university people everywhere. As
a result of this aim, a large part of the World
University Service program includes helping
universities throughout the world in their
search for knowl e·dge and understanding. 'fhis
may take the form of scholarships and seminars. It may mean equipment and actual
money outside for universities unable to function without outside aid.
Briefly then the objectjves of all projects
and activities of the W'o rld University Service
are:
(1) to help meet the basic needs of universities and other institutjons of hi oO'her learnino'
0'
and their members;
(2) t o promote the mutual sharing of
kn'Owledge and experience in seeking solutions
to practical university problems, and;
(3) to foster the development of international understanding and co-operation between
the university communities of all nations.
The Treasure Van is one of their many
activities, and it was obvious that the student
body of Brandon College realized the significance of this worthy project, for they gave
ready and willing help when we needed salesmen, accountants, bouncers, and last but not
least advertising help. For this I wouJ,c1 like
to extend a sincere thanks to those who helped,
and also I would like to wish tlle World University Service every success, in its future
associ ati ons with the student body 'Of Brandon

College and in the great work which it has
set out to accomplish.

The W'o rld University Service's Treasure
Van made its second highly successful, annual
. visit toO Brandon College in January of this
year. As was the case last year the residents
of Brandon and district showed intense interest in this unusual handicrafts display and sale.
Although the volume of sales, in monetary
terms was slightly less than last year, it was
estimated that the total turnout 'Of actual
visitors was equally great, if not greater
than last year.
Something new was added to the visit this
year. We were able to solicit the co-operation
of CKX-TV in helping us to bring the"Treasure Van" to the public. A camera was in
attendance at the opening ceremonies which
was under the direction 'Of Dr. J. R. C. Evans
as chairman. Dr. Evans introduced the mayor
of Brandon, Dr. Schultz who addressed those
in attendance at the time and closed his speech
by declaring the Treasure Van officially open
to tne public.
The opening ceremonies were also covered
by photographers and reporters from the
Brandon Daily Sun.
The proceeds received from the sale of
handicrafts at the Treasure Van will go to
aid the Canadian branch of the World University Service in its benificial aid to under
privileged students, and the :universities in
various countries. Approximately $200.00 from
this year's sale will be considered as Brandon
College's contribution to this very worth while
service.

LITERARY BOARD
, 'I cannot tell; I wish I could;
For the true reason no one knows:"
In the above words of Wordsworth, I wish
to account for either the failure or near attempt
at success of things "Literary" at Brandon
College this year .
Perhaps I am being somewhat harsh so
soon after a wonderful Major Production. As
it so happene.d the Lit Board started off this
year on the wrong foot. The elected manager,
Ruth Mitchell, decided to acquire a new name
instead of a couple of letters after her own,
and took to the stormy seas of matrimony. In
her place was appointe.d a poor second, one
already trie.d by several years on that" stormy
sea" and perhaps as a result of this unwise
c.hoice I can rationalize and say what failures
if any were a direct result of this wrong selection.
'
'The purpose of the Literary Board is to
promote student activities along lines of a
literary and cultural nature. Anow me to
therefore deal with our first such promotion,
Lit Night. As I write this report my memory
is taunted by the haunting strains of Jubenvill's trumpet for we will all remember "Variety Night." Its literary quality rested entirely
on the laurels of the French Club which provided something of a cultural flavour as well.
"Vive Les Francais." To the Glee Club I give
special mention because we always enjoy their
renditions. 'The rest of the evening consisted of
a variety of things by a variety of people. It
was good entertainment even though it some\vhat lacked a literary seriousness.
Th dub activities this year suffered a
slight attack of arterio sclerosis. More attention was devoted to body muscles insteau
of acuteness of mental abilities. At any rate
t here was a sharp decline in club membership.
Glee Club President Janet Southern, Science
Club President Lorne Day, French Club President Andrew Kossak, International Relations
Club President Gerry MacDonald and R3idio
Convenor George ,Villis, all did an excellent
.i ob considering the difficulties under which
they had to work.
Ma,: or Production produced by Bob Ryan
and ·directed by Miss Edith Laycock proved an
outstanding success. It was a difficult show
with a C11<11112'e of sets and it was executed with
finesse. Ma;y He)en Johnston and Bob Hilt'on
mpported by an excelent cast which included
.To~m Evans, Leona Hutton, John MacArthur,
L onaine Benson, Nancy Small, Molly Wright,
'\~;ola B,i arnason, Gerald Brown, Heather Anderson, Ernest Eisler, Alan Wells, Jim Donaghy
Deane MacDonald and Roy Harris did a job
worthy of heartiest congratulations.
To George Willis, our new manager, for
next year, I extend my congratulations and

with them go the hopes for success, support,
and a general rebirth of things literary.
Bill Keller '56 Lit Board Manager

FRENCH CLUB
'The French Club had a very successful year
in fulfilling its purpose of gaining knowledge
of the French language, c.ulture and customs.
Our attendance averaged seven members, with
Profs. MacNeill and Bennett acting as faculty
advisors.
Our most important activity this year was
the production of the French play, "Le Chat
Parti les Souris Dansent" (When the Cat's
away; the Mice will Play). This was a comedy
which typified some French servants "kicking
up their heels" while their master and mistress
are out. After much time and effort, the play
was presented on Lit. Nite. Prof. MacNeill
directed the cast which consisted of Lorraine
Benson, Jean Laughlin, Helen Wright, Ron
Booth, George Willis and Nick Yarish.
Shortly before Christmas, Prof. MacNeill
showed some slides and a "creche", brought
directly from the south of France. Thus we
had a very profitable year and we wish success
to those who participate in the club next year.

LIT NIGHT
This year, Lit. Nite became "Variety Nite",
and on the eveninig of November 26, 1955,
the stage of the Collegiate Audit'o rium witnessed a program of comedy, music, and drama (?).
As manager of the Lit. Board, Bill Keller
welcomed the audience and then handed the
programme over to M.C. Herb. Murray, and
assistant M.C., Gail Wright.
Starting off the show was pianist Wally
Jasper, who kept the audience laughing while
he did some fancy work on the keys.
Then Herb. Murray gave his "Chairman's
Chatter", and amused the ~mdience with his
famous "Chalk Talks."
The scene switched next to the Scottish
Highlands, and Margaret Scarth performed a
Highland Fling. Wally Jasper supplied the
music.
The French Club stepped into the spotlight next, and presented a one-act play, "Le
Chat Parti, Les Souris Dansent", under the
direction of Prof. MsN eilI.
Switching to Shakespeare, John McArthur
and Don Dillistone present ed a demonstration
in proper punctuation using the 'balcony'
scene fr om "Romeo and Juliet" t,o illustrate
the need for "conversation with punduation".
In the title role of '''The Return of Berl

SCIENCE CLUB
The Science Club began its first term activities with a very interesting trip through
station CKX radio and television. In the early
part of the second term, the club was priveleged to have a demonstration on radiation counters, by Mr. Jack McKenzie of the Civil Defense
Board. Both these projects were well received
by club members.
For the weekly radio pro gam, "Brandon
College on the Air" the club presented a panel
discussion by four members on the "Opportunities for the Science Graduate".
'To next year's members go our best wishes
for the success which we have enjoyed this
year.

INTERNATIONAL
RELATIONS
CLUB
'The past year has been a successful one
for the 1. R. C.
The club's act.ivities began with the most
important event of the year-the International
Relations Conference held at the International
Peace Gardens on October 5th, 1955. This
gathering saw students and faculty advisors
of our Alma Mater meet with their counterparts from Minot State Teachers' College. The
to.pic for discussion was "The Middle East"_
Each college presented a paper to launch the
discussion in the morning and afternoon
sessions. Informal groups carried on the discussion an.d dealt with the various aspects of
the topic. The conference was concluded with

a banquet at which Mr. Mikalopoulos gave a
speech on the Cyprian pro bIen. In all, the conference was very successful.
During the remainder of the first term the
club carried out routine activities. At the beginning of the second term members launched
a program to prepare for next autumn's conference on the "Far East". The club conducted
a series of meetings at which films on the Far
East were shown and discussed. It is hoped
that the plans for this conference will be
completed by the end of the term.
Thanks are extende.d to all who have helped
toward making a success of this year's activities. Let's make '56-'57 a boom year for
I. R. C.
GERRY MACDONALD, '57.

RADIO COMMITTEE
The Radio Committee got off to a slow
start this year but after all the difficulties
were ironed out we put on a total of seven
student programs, six music programs and
four faculty programs.
The student programs were presented by
the Glee Club, the Normal School, the Athletic
Boar,d, the S.C.M., and the Science CLub. On
the humourous side of the series, Bob Hilton,
Ben Ward, Lorraine Benson, and Norma Mc
Donald battled it out to a draw on the topic
"Should W'omen be Given Higher E:ducation."
The Music Department, uooer the direction
of Lorne Watson, produced some delightful
student and faculty programs. Mr. Watson
also directed the very interesting program
which the Glee Club put on.
The faculty produced some programs
around the topic "Higher Education and its
Value". Prof. MacNeill and Miss Simmons
gave an interesting talk on their respective
visits to France, and Dr. Evans finished the
series with a talk on Graduates.
In closing, I would like to thank all those
who in any way helped to make these programs
a success. A special vote of thanks to Prof.
Smith, and to Garth Dawley from the Rwdio
Station. Our best wishes go to Dilys Pearce,
Class of '58, who will be next year's convenor.
GEORGE WILLIS, '57.

THE GLEE CLUB
This year the Glee Club, under the direction
of Lorne Watson, was, as usual, 'one of the
most active and most enjoyed clubs in Brandon
College. (Where else does one learn to sing
"My Dog has Fleas" in four parts n
The club, with a membership of twentythree, held practise twice a week during first
term.
Dispite our shortage of sopranos and 'o ur
overworked (n tenor, our presentations at Lit.
Nite, ,over the radio and in Chapel were very
successful. Our contribution to the Rotary Club
Carol Festival, which was the highlight of
our pedOl'mances, b r 0 ugh t our season to-

gether to a close. This is the 'Only opportunity
the club has of performing in front of a large
audience. vVe uphold the name of our beloved
Alma Mater to the very last sip of water!
Many thanks to 'Our soloist Bev. Randall, to
our accompanist Lorraine Harvey, and to all
members who faithfully came to all practises.
To Mr. Lorne Watson and his tireless efforts
on our behalf our most sincere and grateful
appreciation.
Goo.d luck to the Glee Club of 1956-1957
and to the Presj.c1ent, Jack Jubinvill.

tvlAJOR PRODUCTION
"Life With Mother"
The Literary Board's Major Production
this year was" Life with Mother " - an adaption of Clarence Day's auto-biographical novel.
The action centres around a Wall Street broker
and his family in the 1880's and its pleasing
domestic continuity of plot is maintained by
such incidents as Mother's fight for that engagement ring after twenty-two years of "un
engaged" wedded hliss and Father's "Damns".
Bouquet to Mary Helen Johnston who so
convincingly played. the sweet and naive
mother who always managed t,o get her own
way. As the gruff and dictatorial father,
Bob Hilton was superh. And didn't the two
older sons, Clarence and. John, played by Allen
Wells and Jim Donaghy, behave like typical
brothers 1 We all liked the Allen's sincerity
towards this romance. The younger sons were
played by two future B.C. students" Roy
Harris and Deane MacDonald, both of whom
were quite at home 'On the stage.
Molly 'Wright was father's old sweetheal·t
who could provoke his 'Damns' so teasingly.
Joan Evans was mother's cousin Cora, newlywed to Clyde Miller, a mouthy know-it-all
westerner played by John McArthur. Lorraine
Benson was Clarence's short time fiancee, and
Vi Bjamaf:on her snippy mother.

The remainder of the cast included the
domestic staff Heather Anderson, Ernest Eisler,
Nancy Small and Leona Hutton, and the family
doct'o r, Gerald Brown.
As is usual in any successful stage prolduction, many hehind-the-sceners deserve credit.
Once again Miss Edith Laycock skillfully dir- '
ected the performance and deserves our sincere
thanks. Boh Ryan, as producer, successfully
handle·d the co-ordination of the various forces
which makes up a major production. Kay Pue,
Heather Stewart, and Bill Evans, in charge
of costumes and Bob Lane, Donna Mary Jones,
Louis Lenz and Donna Wilkins, in charge of
properties, had no easy task in meeting the
demands of the period settings. Jack Medd
was in charge of publicity.
All are to be congratulated for the successful performance 'Of "Life with Mother" in
the City Hall on March 1 and 2. They deserve
our thanks, not only for the financial gains
involved but for being ambassadors 'o f Brandon
College, so often misunderstood hy too many
people. By giving, so successfully, such a downto-earth production as this, a little more
knowledge of College students was gained by
many. Thank you, both cast an'd crew!

THE ATHLETIC BOARD
Athletics playa major role in student life
at Brandon College, and this year has been
no exception. However, athletics for 1955-56
fell slightly short of the success enjoyed in
former years. It turned out to be a year of
unfortunate situations. A large program was
run once again, but on a smaller scale. In our
second year in the 'V .C.LA.U. we could send
only golf and curling teams. Our hockey team
was forced to drop out of the W.e.LA.U. and
played only a few exhibition games. The Caps
fooball team, which turned out to be the best
yet, coul·d play only three games before winter
set in. Both the men and ladies were represented in the city's basketball league and both
had successful seasons. Once again, within
the student body, minor sports such as bowling,
curling, track and field, golf, snooker, volleyball, table-tennis, softball, cheerle3Jding allod
girl's swimming were run on the same
successful scale.
The Spark's trophy, awarded :for interyear sports, has become the object of keen
competition over the past three years. This
year, inter-year competition was held in some
of the minor sports, such as curling, bowling,
softball, volleyball, track and field, tabletennis allod snooker . . Winners were the graduating class o:f '56. Dropped from the list o:f
activities this year was cross-country running.
This action was due t'O :financial reasons and
this sport may warrant continuation another
year. An added activity which met with m.nch
approval was the girls' swimming program.
The purpose of the Athletic Board is t'O
organize and control the various athletic endeavours in the B.C.S.A. To do this, the Board
depends largely on outside organizations for
fac:ilities and requirements. Yet it must have,
;lS it has in the past, the full cooperation of
the stud.e nt body. 'To all who aided the
A thletic Board in any way go my sincere
thanks for their support and co'o peration. To
Bob Nelson allod next year's board go my best
wishes :for a s.uccessful year.
,JACK FOTHERINGHAM, '57.

CURLING
Curling this year got off to a successful
start as twenty eight rinks entered the regular
draw. Games were played Wednesday and
Thursday afternoons at the Brandon Club.
After four weeks of curling the Branidon Club
burned to the ground. College curling was
suspended for several weeks.
When curling finally resumed, the rinks
entered the College Bonspiel. Games were
played at the "Cow Barns." In the :finals
played on March 1, Jim Crawford's rink capped

the main event, the Craddock event. The consolation, Hannah event was won by Jim
Callenuer.
In the inter-year competition, fourth year
w~s vict.orious.
Garth Kidd, Bob Harris, Gerry Smith, Dennis Ringstrom, and Professor Thordarson
travelled to Edmonton to compete :for
W.O.LA.U. honours. Although in three games
the boys ,didn't meet with desired success, they
made a noble showing.
It was a enjoyable year of curling despite
the setbacks. To next year's curling manager
I wish the best of luck.
DONNA OHRIS'TIE, '58

TABLE TENNIS
This year, the second year as an organized
sport, under the management of Barrie McLeod, was a very success:ful one. New bats
and nets, plus our new table, which were procured last year added much to the entertainment of the many ping-pong enthusiasts.
The first tonrnament, held in January, was
for a singles ladies' championship and a men's
singles championship. In the ladies' singles
Kay Pue emerged the winner in the championship flight, while Barb Mills won the consolation event. In the men's division Dave Fung
was the championship winner while Dune
Brown wall\:oo of:f with the consolation prize.
The next tournament was the inter-year
competition for the Spark 's 'Trophy. Each
year selected six players to represent them.
Fourth Year (naturally) emerged victorious,
after beating Education in three straight series
in the finals . Education placed second and
First Year took the third prize honours. Representatives of the winning team were Joan
Curlock, Edna Engen, Marg. Basham, Laurie
Cr2ddock, Barrie McLeod and Don Dillistone.
Thus the official table tennis activities
ended for another year. However, unofficial
games are still raging and will continue up
until exams. This sport has added much to
the activities of college life, especially for resident students. I would like to extend my good
wishes to the manager of 1956-57 and hope that
next year will be an even more s.uccessful 'One.

Football was the mam sporting attraction during the first weeks of
the 1955 fall term. The College Caps, with popular coach Bill Stinchcombe
at the helm , hit the gridiron shortly after the term started. An early winter
cut short the sch0c1ule -o f home games that had been arranged.
'T he Freshies contributed a bundle of healthy and capable men t.o fill
the gaps from the previous season.
The boys beat the Faculty of Medicine, U. of Man., eleven to nothing;
and blanked the Fac;ulty of Law twelve to nothing. Notre Dame Hounds, the
Wilcox, Saskatchewan squad, returned to their fabulous College with an eleven
to nothing victory.
That was it for the Caps. Coach W'm. Stinchcombe didn't have a
complaint about the material with which he had to work in '55. "They were
a great bunch," he said. "Some of them didn't know too much about football,
but they learned fast."

'The prospects for the College Caps Hockey
Team looked very favourable when a squad of
over two dozen hopefuls turned out to prove
their ability under the watchful eye of Coach
Jimmy Creighton.
Due to a series of unfortunate circumstances
such as excessive financial requirements, lack
of ice for t.he Brandon series, and a shortage
of eligible players, the team was forced to
withdraw from W.C.LA.D. competition for
this season. In place of W.C.LA.D. g.a mes the
Caps played a series of exhibition games with
smaller Manitoba towns.
'The major hockey event of the year was
the excursion to Boissevain which saw two
bus loads of students out to cheer the Caps
in a thrilling 7 - 5 game. Even though the
team didn't win, the game was one of the
season's best. Something new for the College
Caps was a hockey tournament at Oak Lake.
In their first game the Caps tangled with Griswold Reserve "Redmen", and came on top of
the heap with a smashing 15-5 victory. In a
second game against Brandon Cloverleafs, the
College lost a close 5-4 decision. Other games
were played at Carberry, Erikson, Boissevain,
and Reston. The Caps registered a victory over

the Erikson squa,d, but remained on the short
side of the scoreboard with the other teams.
"Although the Caps came out on the bottom
' of the win column with 5 losses and 2 wins,
they managed to outscore their opposition by
a total of 46 to 42. Big guns in the scoring
attack were Klimchuk, Minions, and Nelson.
Special mention to Ben Ward, and Mike
Czuboka, who spoiled many opposition scoring
chances.
Coach Creighton was unable to be with
the team for all of their road trips, and coaching duties were shared by ,P rof. Hannah,
"D ad" Fotheringham, and Hilton Stewart.
Prof. Hannah gave triple service as coach,
trainer, and manager, and gave inspiration to
the team with his between-period pep talks,
and the famous "Hannah speedballs". Once
again Bill Gates handled the equipment and
saw to it that all players were given the best
of service.

This year the girls' basketball team proved
to be somewhat of a success. F'rom looking back
in records it is quite surprising to think that
this year's team has broken a deMUy slump.
They have won more games, and we can even
go so far as to say they beat the Queens, classified as the best team in the league, once. 'l'here
were four teams in the league at the beginning
of the term. Due to certain circumstances the
Seven-Ups withdrew from the league .during
the Christmas season. Their withdrawal made
leagne standings invalid. In 'Order to have playoffs a round robin was drawn up by the
~I.A.B.A. (Manitoba Amateur Basketball Assoc
iation.) Every team was to play two games
against everyone of the other teams. The
Queens came in first capturing the W'e stern
Manitoba Championship. C.J.A.T.C. an.d the
College tied for second place. Another game to
break the tie was not played due to the March
first deadline.
, 'T he College were very fortunate in having
Verda Peden acting as captain. Verda was one
of the top scorers and when she was not present
she was certainly missed

MEN'S
The 1955-56 seastlll for the basketball Caps
was one filled with success and disaster. The
latter came in the form of that grim reaper,
Eligibility. Leaving the old year, the team
was literally cut in half and but seven players
were left to complete the season. These were;
team veterans Laurie Craddock, Barry McLeod,
Russ Roney, Barrie Orr, Bob Lane, Keith
Haskins and newcomer Paul Antrobus.
The team played in a senior men's league
consisting of Brandon Penguins, Brandon
Clowns and Rivers. 'The competition was keen
and close as the Caps ended the season two
points behind the league leaders, Rivers, and
tied with the ot.her two teams for second place.
In the play-offs the college team took the
semi-finals against Rivers in four games out
of the best of seven series. They then advanced
to the finals which were to take place after
press time.
Under coach Dr. E. J. " Curly" Tyler's
careful supervision the team had some terrific
games, many of them decided by a very few
points. At the beginning of the season there
was a flair of popular support by cheerleaders
and students. However, as the season grew,
many conflicting functions left the team with
a few" faithfuls. " Many thanks to the' latter
and to Barrie Orr and Wayne Pettapiece for
generally managing the team's activities.

'With another season behind us, we can
honestly say that it has been one of the most
enthusiastic years in the history of bowling.
For this season, bowling almost held the
rank of a major sport, with its sixteen teams,

an increase of eight over the., past two years.
'rhe powerful Orr team r ose to the top early
in the season, and stayed there while the other
teams finished in the following order: Mote,
Ryan, Crawford, McDonald, Klimchuck,
Dillistone, Benson, Gogal, Medd, Czuboka,
Batho, Murton, Rust, McLachlan.
After eleven weeks of Friday afternoon
battles, the roll-offs were held on' February 24,
at the Recreation Bowling Alley with the top
eight teams participating.
Again the Orr
team, consisting of Marg. Basham, Joan
Meyers, Ed Gall, Russ Roney, and Barry Orr
outshone the others and walked off with the
McMurdo trophy. 'T he Art Mantell trophy
which is awarded annually to the men's high
individual scorer was awarded to Bill Gates at
the annual Colour Night. Bill won the trophy
with an average of 185. The women's high
scorer was Audrey Kerkowich.
An outstanding highlight of. the year was
the Inter-year roll-oUs for points towards the
Spark 's Trophy. Five teams were entered and
the class of '56, made up 'of Joan Curlock,
Norma McDonald, Don Dillistone, Art Klim~
chuk and Laurie Craddock, strengthened their
hoM on the Spark's Trophy. Education and
Second year placed sec 0 n d and third
re~pecti vely.
Another interesting event in the year's
bowling was the Women's Intercollegiate Telegraphic Bowling Meet. Our Brandon team
composed of Joan Curlock, Vi Bjarnason,
Glenyce Cllrrie, Norma McDonald, and Audrey
Kerkowich managed to place seventh out of
eleven teams.

COlF TOURNAMENT
One bright and sunny day last fall approximately 100 enthusiastic students swarmed out
to the City Golf Course to partake in the
annual College Golf Tournament. This tournament was in the form of a mixed two-ball
foursome. Each team was comprised of a boy
and a girl who would take alternate swats at
the ball. Since the majority of the participants
had never played golf before, a Golf School was
held on the previous ,day. 'The instructors at
this school were Laurie Craddock, Bob (Divot)
Stordy and Garry (Whiffer) Prior. As darkness began to fall the scores start.ed to eome
in and the darker it got the better the scores
seemed to get. At last, after the last group
had come staggering in, the grand winners of
the Craddock trophy were Janice Gusdal and .
Alan Magnacca. The most honest twosome of
the day WilS composed of Harvey Hillier and

Margaret Kinnah,d.The prizes were awarded
after a supper of hot dogs and soft drinks. A
sing-song ended the event. As everyone seemed
to enjoy themselves we hope that it will be
bigger and better than ever next year.
W.C.I~A.U.

GOLF TRIP TO
SASKATOON
. Bob Stordy, Laurie Craddock and Garry
Prior represented the College at Saskatoon
where the Western Canada Inter-Collegiate
Gol~ .: Tournament was held. Although the boys
only placed thil'c1 it was an interesting trip
and they met a lot of fine fellows. We hope
that we may ,do better next year.

TRACK AND FIELD MEET
The annual Track and Field Meet was held
in Kinsmen Memorial Sta;dium starting on
Tuesday, October 11. This year the Meet was
heM on three consecutive days due to a football game on the following Saturday night.
Even so, there were a large number of students out participating in the various events
and as spectators.
Individual honours of the day went to
Carole Griffith and Bob Simmons, both of
First Year, each collecting 34 and 25 points
and winning the Ladies' and Mens' Aggregate
r espectively.
Education came out the 'winner of the Year
Aggregate with 112 points. First and Secon.d
Years fallowed closely, each with 110 points.
Next was Fourth Year with 82 points, followed by Third Year with 18 points.
One of the highlights of the meet was the
last event, the Men's Cross-Country run. It
was a race to the finish, and in the last fifty
yards, "Old Master" Hattie, who set the
College record of seventeen minutes, thirty
seconds went ahead to beat out Bob Simmons
by a few strides. This year, Allen ran the 2.8
mile distance in 19 min. 39 sec.
Two new records were set this year by
Carole Griffith in the Ladies ' Standing and
Running Broad Jumps. In the Running Broad
jump, the old record was bettered by 2 inch es
and now is 14 feet. The new record in the
Standing Broad jump is 7 ft. 4 in.
The point system was used again this year.
For aeheiving a certain mark or time set by
the Athletic Board, students were given 1 point
or if they did even better and reached a higher
mark or faster time, they were given 2 points
for their respective years.
Awards were presented at the Track and
Field Dance on Friday, October 21 at the
Brandon Oollegiate.
Many thanks to our two Athletic Reps,
Joan Gurlock and Jack "Dad" Fotheringham
for a job well done in the planning of the
Brandon College Track and Field Meet of
'55-'56.

The Cheerleaders' 1955-56 season was one of the most successful
recently. The year began well with a good number turning up for tryouts
late in September. 'This year's cheerle~deI's were divi.ded into two teams:

The two teams appeared at the football games and on' the hockey
excursions, to spark the cheering sect jon. After the football game they
served lunches in the Hut, the money being intended for new sweaters, which
never materialized.
For basketball games the teams went as single teams. This year the
cheerleaders were put in closer contact with the Athletic Board by a representative elected to attend Athletic Board meetings. Many thanks to the
fans at all the games who supported the cheerleaders so well.

Frosh Frolic ...

F r eshie W'e ek started off with a bang with
the Freshie Reception Sunday night. Tmc1itionally spons'ore,d by the Student Christian
Movement, it was convened by Dilys Pearce,
Social Convenor for the organization.
Mixing games pl"oved more than usually
successful, so that the ice was soon broken.
Soon everyone was fairly well acquainted, and
we be o'an to feel mo r e like a group, less like
s'o ma~y individuals. After the traditional
tour of the college buildings, lunch was serveCJ,
Singing followed, and continued with unus'~lal
enthusiasm until shortly before the deadlme
f or Clark Hall girls.
The move from the Chapel to t he Hut. this
year for the Reception made for greater freedom, especially for learning yells and college
songs! At any rate it seemed to accomplish
its purpose of getting everyone a little better
acquaint ed, and everyone a greed that they
ha.d a good time.

The" Frosh Frolic" heM at the Agricultural
and Homemaking .school proved, to be a fitting
climax t'O Freshie Week. The trial was very
well enacted by the accused, namely, Janice
Gusdal, Bob Nelson, Gail Wright, Lorraine
Harvey and Herb Murray.
The tra.ditional court included Don "Pinhead" DilIistone, Jim Crawford and, Laurie
Cmddock. 'T he court managed to lay bare
inexcusable breaches of the law on the part of
the Freshies, and imposing harsh penalties for
t hese offences. However all the accused proved
to be good sports, with the result that the
trial was hugely enjoyed: by everyone.
The highlight of the evening came when
Dr. Evans crowned Vi Bjarnason Queen, and
Bob Stordy, King. Attending them were Prinsesses Carolyn Johnston and Gail Wright and
Princes Keith Harrison and Cameron 'Davreux.
"Tiny" Bird and the College Trio provided the enjoyable evening's entertainment.

Track and Fielld Dance ...
Freshie Week ...
Under the direction of co-convenors, lVIai(la
Bird and Clare Coburn, the Freshies were given
a rousing welcome to Brandon College. Beginning with the sale of Freshie caps and .instructions for dress on Monday ar d endm g
with the Freshie Dance Friday night theil'
week was filled with embarrassing ordeals and
humili ations.
Everyone enjoyed the swim at the "Y" 'on
'T uesday night, followed by the snake d ance
back to the College throu gh rain and puddles.
'1'he girls' costumes were very practical fOl'
the rainy weather since they did not have to
worry about creasing towels! 'T he boys wel'e
clad in l:.nderwear, aprons and make-up suitably applied by their seniors!
Vivid in the memories of Freshie vVeek is
the Field Day held in the Hut, when scraped
and bruised knees f ollowed races on hands
and knees. The tug- o-war, with the Seniors
ended quite happily f or the Freshie team!
Wednesday evening prizes for the best
costumes were awarded to Heather Stewart
and Bill Evans.
At the very enjoyable dance on Friday,
Dr, Evans crowned th e Freshie Queen and
King, Vi Bjarnason and Bob Stordy. Attending the Queen were Princesses Carolyn Johnson and Gail Wright. The P rinces were Cameron Davreux and Keith Harrison.
Although the Seniors managed to make
the Freshies feel as small and insignificant as
possible, most of all the victims enjoyed all
the activities and ordeals held for them during
the week and began to look forward to their
chance next year!

'T he Track and Fie1d Dance came as the
climax to an invigorating three afternoons of
sports competitions. Scheduled for 8 :30 in the
Collegiate Auditorium, dance time found a
tired but enthusiastic number of college students on hand .
"fhe outstanding aspect of this dance were
the decorations. They brought out the theme
of sports competition better than usual. It's
good to see a little originality!
Frank W oodmass' orchestra provided the
music, which everyone agreed was outstanding.
"Dad" Fotheringham officiated as Master of
Ceremonies. The highlight of the evening occured during lunch time when Dr. Evans, assisted
by Lady Stick Jean Hannah, and two attractive
cohorts, presented the ribbons to the successful competitors.
All in all, the dance presented the "Grand
Finale" to Track and Field for '55, and was
closed with "Hail Our College."

Normal Party ...
Fifty normal students crowded into cars
to head for a fowl supper at Souris, a thirty
mile trip from Brandon. Our reserved tables
'were soon fille,d, and everyone consumed as
much as possible. Before leaving Souris, we
gave forth with "Hippy Skippy" to show our
a.ppreciation. W'e then headed back to the
College for a social evening in the "Hut".
Obviously this wasn't Bev Randell's night, as
he was Idelayed on the road back, with a flat
tire. He soon made up for it however.
The dancing was an open affair, and a
large crowd attended. Everyone enj'o yed the
skits put on by different groups. The evening
ended with the serving of doughnuts; I;1nd coffee.

The Notre Dame Dance ...
This dance which followed the Notre Dame'
Football game was held on October 29, 1955.
Our guests of honour were the members and
the coach of the Notre Dame team.
"The Hut" was appreciably decorated with
cutouts made by Edna Engen, streamers, aml
balloons filled with confetti. "Welcome Notre
Dame" was written in large paper letters over
the south door. The music was supplied by the
"College Orchestra."
Highlights of the evening included the
introductions by Laurie Craddock, of the Notre
Dame team and a brief address by their coach.
Grant 'Wright was our very capable" Master
of Ceremonies" and conducted several novelty
dances.
Many thanks to c'o nvenors, Audrey Kirkowich and Gerry Mac'Donald, and their helpers
who made this evening so enjoyable. Thanks go
also to Grant Wright and the members of the
'o rchestra who helped make the evening such
a success.

Second Year Class Party ...
Much to the disgust of Misses Fraser and
Thompson (who were afrai,d they wouldn't
be able to eat so much under the circumstances)
Class of '58 set out for Basswood to begin it's
class party with a fowl supper. Everyone had
nothing but praise for the culinary ability of
the women -o f the district. You can be sure
that we did justice to so much good food!
'T he question arises-did the people of the
town appreciate so many vocal expressions of
pride in class, faculty, and college 1
Back in Brandon we gathered at the
Y.M.C.A. Youth Hall. Each carload provided
a skit, and although none of us were energetic
after our feast, some of the entertainment
provided was very good. Dancing followed,
and to top off a very successful evening we
retired to Barney's for midnight snacks and a
review of the evening's activities.

Class '59 Party ...
On Wec1nesday, October 26, Class of '59,
with a few refugees from 2nd year, went on
it's first class party. It was a beautiful day
with the temperature about 75 degrees, just
perfect for such an excursion. In cars supplied
by our Brandon st'UJc1ents and our Honourary
Class ,P resident, Prof. Hannah, we set out for
\Vawanesa to gorge ourselves at the local
Fowl Supper.
After we had all arrived and assembled
and after the usual long, hungry wait, we sat
down to a typical country fowl supper, with
all its trimmings. The idea seemed to be who
could eat the most. (We all agreed that Bob
Simmons deserved first place.) After we had
all attempted to consume more than we could

hoLd, we made a brief tour of \Vawanesa. It
is said that some worked up enough appetite
to go to a cafe and ask for a glass of water!
Finally, after a return trip which seemed
much shorter than the one to Wawanesa, we
went"out to the "Hut" where we played pingpong and danced. ' A good time was ha;d by
all until 12.00 p.m. when the doors of Clark
Hall creaked shut.
All in all our first class party was a success
thanks to the capable arranging done by our
social convenor Kay PUe and the able chaperoning of Prof. and Mrs. Hannah.
MARG. SCARTH, '59,

Third Year Party ...
The Class of '57 journeyed to Oak River
for a fowl supper that none of us couLd forget. We might have been small in number,
but were ever so large in appetite. Before we
got into the church basement, however, we
overheard some remarks from the local citizens. They saw the Brandon College jackets
and a man said, "they must be football players
from Brandon." The lady next to him said,
" but they '11 eat so much that there won't be
anything left." Well the food was tremendous
and I'm sure the ladies appreciated our cleaning up everything in sight. Some of the resident students looked longingly at the turkey
but they just didn't have room for any more
in either stomachs or . . . pockets ~
After our feast, we piled into the cars
and heade.d for Brandon. On the way back
many well-known songs were "executed" but
it added to the fun.
The shortage of girls presented a problem
for dancing; but despite this the records
supplied by our hostess, Lorraine Benson,
were enjoyed by all. 'The evening was spent
listening to music, watching dancing demonstrations and trick stunts. A laughing, good
time was had by all.
Our many thanks go to Prof. Smith, our
Honourary Presi.dent, Mike Czuboka and
Lorraine Benson, President and Social Convenor respectively, for the Class of '57.
BARBARA MILLS, '57.

Sigma Mu Dance ...
The Sigma Mu proved their ability in
organizing a dance again this year, this time
under the lea;dership of presi.dent Barrie McLeod.
'The .theme of the dance was" Theme Songs. "
Costumes were to represent the name of a song.
Outstanding costumes were "Harvest Moon"
and "Five -Foot Two." Everyone showed rel11arkable originality in their costumes, although the origin of some of the songs still
remains a mystery.
The traditional lunchtime skit was enacted
in the setting of an Arabian war council

'.

<1,O'<1,i11st the ,dread enemy, the members of th'e
C~O.T.C., who held the fair damsels of Dark
Hall captive against their will. The plot,. the
antics of some of the performers, (especIally
the dancina' girls,) and quotations and misquotations from the letter of the" fifty frustrated females" provided hilarious comment
for the next few .days.
'The really outstanding aspect of the dance
was the Lunch. It consisted of a cold salad
plate that truly annoyed and delighted the
mcmbers of the fairer sex. This just proves
that the boys can plan and serve a feast fit
for a king (or should I say queen n as well as
can girls!
The ,c1:;,nce was M. C. 'd by the Honourary
Pres:,dent, Dr. Kidd. His ample store of wit,
and the novelty dances rounded the dance
out to a full evening of fun. All the maidens
of Dark Hall agreed that a vote of thanks is
('ertainly due to the boys for the splendkl job
they did.

Film Night ...
Somethin o ' new in the way of functions was
introduced this year in the form of Film Night.
All the camera fans brought out their favourite
sIi,des and movies to be enj·oyed by the student
hody. These films included major events from
the last two years, most especially the Freshie
Parade, and '55 Election Week. There were
lots of laughs, mostly resulting from seeing
ourselves in those terrible sit.uations. Everyone
enjoyed Clare Coburn's movie of the Royalty
Contest, especially when he showed it backwards! Bill Friesen di,d the honours with the
projector and made some well-timed comments
as well.
Lunch and dancing ended an informal evening that we all enjoyed. Let's make tbis an
Gl1nual event!

Valentine Dance ...
This year's Valentine Dance was cal~ed
"Car dia's Carousel". 'T he name alone pronded a considerable amount of f'Un - nobody
knew what it meant, and very few could spell
it! Just to straighten this little matter out,
it meant "heart's merry-go-round."
The evening began with the grand march.
John McArthur's band provided excellent
swing music, and soon the prophecy of the
name w.a s a reaJity- it was a merry-go-round.
'T he many red dresses worn in keeping 'Yith
the occasion added much color and gaIety
to the dance floor. .
There was a good mixture of dances, and
enough mixing dances to make the evening
interesting. A well timed comment from .the
floor from Mrs. Cowan made the program
really funny.
.
Everyone agreed that this the "most formal of the informal dances" was a real success
this year.

[\~idnight

Blues ...

The Co-ed Dance,

convened

by

Elaine

Fr~ser, was held November 19 in the Aggie
School. This is the one time that the Sigma
Mu 'ers are reduced to the proverbial status
of mouse and even, so we are told, suffer slight
pangs of anxiety as the dead-line approaches
and she hasn't invited him to the dance yet.
N,ow we know men! It takes nerves of steel to
walk up to the man of your choice to utter
those words of invitation with what you hope
is f.n air ·o f indifference and nonchalance!
The Nightclub theme created a charming
continuity through·O'Ut the dance. Heather
Stewart and her committee deserve much credit
f or creating the atmosphere, with original
decorations and especially for initia,ting the
"table" fad-we hope it's here to stay.
Eleanor Bryan's committee did an excell~nt
job in preparing a lunch which everyone will
rem em bel' as superb.
Entertainment was handled ably by Lorraine Denson and Carole Griffith. Who will
eve r forget" The Kicking Co-eds," the "Blues
,Sino'er " "Shboom," the "Apache Dancers"
nnl tl{c original "Grand Finale ~ " Well done
girls!
The Co-eds showed their creative ability in
the many ' gay corsages. Janet Southern's,
Eleanor Bryan's and Joan Curlock's were
ju,dged the most ·o riginal.
Strains of the bea:utiiul music of Frank
'\Voodmass' orchestra lingered with us as the
evening, one which will long remain outstanding in our memories, came to a close. Many
t h:;,nks Elaine!
DIL YS PEARCE, '58.

Vv'intry Waltz ...
The ballroom of the Prince Edward Hotel
provided a fitting setting for the be~utifl:1
medley of colourful gowns and flowers 111 eVIdcnce as the Wintry Waltz got under way.
The keynote 'Of this year's Fall Formal
was dignity and simplicity. Arrangement of
tables for eight about the walls maJele for a
qniet, friendly atmosphere w~ich certainly
wouJ.c1 have been lacking otherwIse. The punch
served two purposes; it was not only a delicious thirst qnencher, but it also addBd greatly
to the night club atmosphere.
Entertainment was divided. between two
short intermissions and one long one. It consisted of a male quartct, and a ITJale trio, pLus
Marilyn Grant.
Everyone agreed that ' tl).e music of the Sy~~
copat-ors provided the finishing touch to thIS
ballroom atmosphere.
.
Congratulations are due to the conveno~s,
J anet Southern .and Art Klimchuk. They dId
a very commendable job in their planning and
·o rganizing of the ""Wintry Waltz".

Co-Aggie Da nee ~. . .
This dance, an interesting one of a different
sort, was held on November 25.
Even though some of us had doubts ahout
this dance, it proved very enjoyable to all who
attended. The Aggie School students were
excellent hosts.
Half of the evening's program was arranged by the Aggie School and half by Brandon College, with Grant Wright as our M.C.
There was an excellent variety of dances from
both groups. 'The square dances prove,d a
success with both square dancers and nonsquare dancers paJ,ticipating. The two-steps,
polkas and schotisches were also fun and added
spice to the evening. Naturally the old standbys, jiving and waltzing were in great deman,d.
The lunch, consisting of doughnuts, coffee
and ice cream, was served by the Aggie School.
The evening was a complete success and
many of us left with the thoughts of new
friends lingerin g in our minds.

Outdoor Party ...
Lake .PeJ'cy was the scene, it was a cold
night, the snow was at least six feet deep, onr
feet were wet, and we were cold because there
was no fire. You're right- the occasion was
the Outdoor Party, held this year in place of
the usual Division Parties.
Soon there was a roaring fire, and everyone got their feet warmed and dry, ready to
put on the blades. We soon fonnd that the
efforts of the "ambitious ones ", who had
cleared the snow, were in vain-the ice was
so rough, that skating was impossible! Argu)'lents- mostly in fun-resulte,d on whether we
should adjourn to the West End Community
Club or stay by the fire and sing. The result
y,as that some did one, and some the other.
Eventually, however, we all found our way
back to the "Hut" for beans, brown bread
3~ld coffee; really appreciated after the fresh
all'.
'The evening ended with dancing. Everyone
had a sUJ'prising amount of energy left, so that
a good time was had by all. That is often the
way- everything goes wrong with the plans,
but everyone has "loads of fun". We certainly did.

Bi-Service Ball.
The Aggie School on February 25th was
the scene of much scury and confusion. The
occasion was the Bi-Service Ball sponsored
by the C.O.T.C. and U.R.P.T., Brandon
College gift to the Army and Air Force
respectively. ·The room was done in night club
fashion with candle light and soft and not so
soft music by the college band. Perhaps the
reas'ons for the smash success of the dance
was the huge array of food prepared by Kay

Pue and her helpers. Major and Mrs. McKay
chaperoned the evening and the two services
really won the night with the Brandon College
students. The boys hope to put the event on
an annual basis.

Election Week . . .
Election Week got off to an enthusiastic
start with the manufacturing of posters on
Tuesday evening. As usual, the various classrooms were at the candidates disposal and
the creations which were brought forth from
these rooms of learning were greater thaI,l ever
before and not lacking in .originality. .
A new inovation to Election Week took
place in the Hut Wednesday, known as
EJection R.aBy. The candi,dates were each
allotted a division for campaigning at their
own discression. The Senior Stick campaign
drew the largest crowds. "Dadio" monopolized
the loud speakers, also the Dancing Girls ( n
"Hoot Mon Vote John" had his jazz band
which competed valiently with "Dadi'o 's"
propaganda. The customary doughnuts and
coke never lost their appeal.
Thursday, events took on a more formal
mood with the election speeches in the chapel.
Some of the tensenes.s was removed by the
gong-ringer and timekeeper and the "Ohio
Farm" cost.ume of the chairman. However, no
amount of clowning could entirely remove the
strain, as each candidate was so anxious to
d·o his best. 'The chapel was filled to capacity,
proving the high interest and keen competition of this week.
Friday was the climax! The election officers
were kept busy to determine the victors before the evenings proceedings.
Several 'Of our old timers were heard to
remark that the program at. Installions Night
was the finest they had yet seen. Under the
1IIaster of Ceremonies, Dennis Ringstrom t.he
events took place with a minimum of delay.
The program commenced with the Jazz
Band and the blaring music 'Of Dixieland
proved to be riotous compared with the usual
dignity of John McArthur's hand.
Liberace was an outstanding success as
Wayne Murton, in his tuxedo, aptly conveyed
to the observers, Liberace's tender feeling for
his mother.
The "Four Flushers" rendered two entertaining numbers and finally an oriO'inal one
disclosing the newly elected B.C.S.A. ;ecretary.
The faculty present found the Boys Choir
very entertaining as they, dressed in navy
knickerbockers and white shirts, rendered
their version of a faculty party.
All the members of Clark Hall especially
enjoyed the portrayal of "Queenie" Cowan
and the inebriated Clark Hall maiden inside
the respectable residence at four a.m. Even
Mrs. Cowan's cold cream was not forgotten.
Lillie Pounds a beautiful yo'ung woman

'with matching figure was the part played by
Bev Randell. His voice was as sweet as his
charming manner.
The Grand Finale was the Singing Dogs
under their trainer Hilton Stewart. It could
easily be seen the hours of work this able
dog trainer had put in to get his animals to
such a degree of excellence.
Throughout the program the winning candi-dates were discreetly announced. 'The program was followed by a dance in the Hut,
music supplied by our own dance band and
under the convenorship of the Co-Eds.
ELEANOR BYRAN, '58.

obviously put into their offices.

a very enjoyable dance. We feel that this was
a fine way to end our informal functions of
the year.
MAny HELEN JOHNSTON,

SICKLE HUMOR
Love making hasn't changed much in 2500
years. Greek maidens used to sit and listen
to a lyre all evening, too!
A man likes his wife to be just clever
enough to comprehend his cleverness and,
just stupid enough to admire it.
"Do you really love her 1"
"Love her 1 I worship the very ground
her father has struck oil on."
Judge: "Now sir, please tell the court
just what passed between you and your wife
,during the arguement.' ,
Man: "Six plates, a tea kettle, and her
new electric iron."
A politician was seeking a farmer's vote.
, , Vote for you 1" the farmer roared, "Why
I would sooner vote for the deviL" "Quite so."
said the p'o litician, "but in event of your friend
110t standing, may I hope for your interest 1"

OUR future is filled with opportunity. Canada

leading business institutions-including The Bank
of Nova Scotia.
Every year The Bank of Nova Scotia welcomes
a number of promising young men and women
to its staff throughout Canada. You might be
one of them.
There are many advantages to a banking career
with BNS. If your talents and training lean
towards business administration, finance and
daily contact with the public, a banking career
offers you wide scope.
See the manager of The Bank of Nova Scotia in
your community about a banking career with BNS.
