Besides teaching courses in Math and History, Br. Walsh also instructs Mechanical Drawing. In 1914 a young man from Carlow, Ireland joined the Irish Christian Brothers. In 1 964 he celebrates his Golden Jubilee — fifty years in the service of God; fifty years shaping characters and destinies; fifty years of selfless dedication. Brother Walsh ' s first three years in the Order were spent at O ' Connell School, in Dublin, and a total of nine years was spent in different locations in Ireland before joining the American Province in 1923. In that year, he was one the four original Brothers sent to open O ' Dea High School in Seattle. In 1924 Brother was transfered to Vancouver College, and here he remained for a period of four years. This was the first of several periods over the space of forty years which together constitute some thirty-one years in the service of Vancouver College alone. Brother Walsh was next stationed at St. Mary ' s College in Halifax, and it was there that he received his Bachelor of Arts degree. In 1929 he returned to Vancouver College for the sec- ond time and here he remained until 1936. In the interval he received his Master of Arts degree from Gonzaga University in Spokane. In 1936 Brother was transfered to Victoria to serve as principal of St. Louis College. He remained in that post until 1 939 — the beginning of the Second World War. He returned to Vancouver to guide College as principal through the difficult war years. When the war was over, Brother Walsh went to the United States; to Leo High School in Chicago first , then to All Hallows in New York, and finally Cardinal Farley Military Academy, also in New York. He spent, then, a total of five years in the United States, and studied art at the Chicago Art Institute, and sculpture at Columbia University. Finally, in 1950, Brother Walsh and Vancouver College were again reunited. He has been here ever since. It is with great respectand admirationfora man and a teach- er and a follower of Christ that we dedicate this book, the year- book of Vancouver College, to Brother E. B. Walsh. In the very yearsof Vancouver College, Br. Walsh organized many excursions to Grouse Mountain to enjoy the rather prim- itive accommodation there. The above group was taken during the winter of 1926- 1927 on the top of Grouse Mountain. STANDING: Harry Lyons, Doug Conrad. KNEELING: Jack Allen, Donald Vaughan- Smith, Henry Vaurs. SECOND ROW.
