c LITERARY BOARD The year 1959-60 has witnessed an upsurge in the cultural and literary interest of Brandon College. The International Relations Conference, the culmination of months of preparation by students concerned, started off the '59-'60 Literary year in fine fashion, the topic under discussion being African Nationalism . Credit is most deservedly bestowed upon the convenors Fred Macintosh and Dianne Fowler for their international co-operation and organization with Minot. The activities of the various clubs maintained a healthy pace throughout the year due to the concerted and able leadership of their various presidents. Debating attained great acclaim at our college this year with the dedication of a -new literary trophy for interclass debate-the Dr. J. R. C. Evans Memorial Trophy for Debating. Under the supervision of Don Goodfellow, public speaking classes were begun,-outside debating was fos- tered and inter-class debating flourished. The I.R.C. was guided through a successful year by Hugh Halliday. The clu-b had several well travelled and well versed speakers from Africa, China and the Canadian Parliament. Several in- teresting films were showin and plans are proceeding smoothly for the 1960 Peace Garden Con- ference on Red China . Cecil Bund, president of the Science Club provided students with a fascinating program of scientific entertainment over the year. The Science Club conducted tours, brought in speakers, and showed several excellent films. The Glee Club under the leadership of David Wilson and Mr. H. Davies regained its feet and overcame the prediction that it was doomed to defeat. The Glee Club sang at the Rotary Carol Festival, Chapel and several college functions. The 'Radio Club produced a bi-weekly program Brandon College on the Air under the dir- ection of Ruth Brown and Ron Kirbyson. The 'programs were interesting, controversial and one program, a panel on Castno's Cuba, was the centre of an article in 'the Brandon Sun. a The French Club, sur le direction de Mme. Jean McQuarrie, provided students a-n oppor- tunity to enhance their knowledge of French through singing, acting and talking. Highlight of the year was the French play produced for Lit Nite. Lit Nite revealed untold talent both of students and faculty and provided a very enjoyable evening's entertainment convened by Pat Stanley. This year another new literary trophy was inaugurated-the Edith Laycock Tro-phy for inter-class competition at Lit Nite-this year cap- tured by '61, P Public Speaking Night was another literary success despite keen competition from Stratford Players. The Class of '62 Walked away with three of the four events to win the Stick's Trophy for Public Speaking. This year something new was added to the literary functions-Inter Varsity Night-an ex- tremely interesting, intellectual and highly cultural program was prese-nted featuring University of Manitoba and Notre Dame College. Major Production was a tremendous success this year both audience-wise and financially. The -play The Reluctant Debutante was skillfully executed by the cast and was taken to Virden for a one night performance. Congratulations to director Miss Edith Laycock and producer Barry McLennan. Negotiations have been started with such colleges as Regina, Calgary, St. John's, and more, in hopes that fa debating circuit similar to that of the McGowan Cup series among the univer- sities, may be begun among the smaller colleges. It has been a pleasure serving you as Manager of the Literary Board and to my successor, Hugh Halliday-the best of luck and may you have a board as aggressive and dedicated as this one has been.
