FACULTY PRESIDENT ' S REPORT This yearbook, I trust, will help us all to pause and to ponder where we are in life, and where we are going as well. The past year is only a. single piece in a large jig-saw puzzle. It is meaningful only to the degree that it fits into some larger pattern. In this regard the Scriptures give us an important clue when they remind us that man does not live by bread alone. Far beyond this low-level ambition is a task that overarches and pervades all that we do. We live and work to glorify God. To live in His service whether in the office or shop or parish, whether in the home or school or government- this is the goal that can give abiding meaning to the many and various occupations of man. We are God ' s by virtue of our creation and redemption. He placed us in this blessed land, and He gave us a mission to perform. To offer Him our industry and skills, our love and loyalty in all the daily tasks that confront us - this gives meaning to our labors. In this centennial year, when many Canadian citizens will celebrate just for the sake of celebrating, it is important that we and they continue the quest for meaning. May this centennial year move us to gratitude and to rededication to Him from whom all blessings flow and who gives lasting meaning to our lives here and hereafter. Sincerely, a. OiMV Jhcujttu W. F.

FACULTY RETREAT SEPTEMBER 4-7, 1966 The Concordia College Faculty retreated to Jasper Park before the flood of new students and returning students came about. The Faculty planned their strategy carefully, outlining all forms of battle for their annual fight against the STUDENTS. Top secret meetings were held which resulted in various committees being selected to infiltrate the ranks of the students and EXERT their influence upon the student body. it was.

FIRST WORLD WAR 1914-1918: On October 16, First Ca¬ nadian Contingent of over 33,000 troops landed at Plymouth, England. More than four hundred thousand Canadians pro¬ ceeded overseas to make the world safe for democracy. Fifty thousand soldiers died. OPENING OF THE KLONDIKE - A major gold strike was made on Rabbit Creek in the Klondike on August 17, 1896. The discoverer was George W. Carmack. A few days after the discovery, Rabbit Creek became known by the more dramatic name of Bonanza. . Gold had been found many r years before the great strike ' out in small deposits. The A Carmack discovery precipi- . tated the famous gold rush ft.?, which hit its peak in the spring fcjjyi of 1898. It is estimated that 100,000 persons actually set ■ ‘T out for Dawson City. 1770-1857: DAVID THOMP¬ SON in May, 1807 accompa¬ nied by his wife and family, crossed the Rockies by what is now known as Howse Pass.

Can you imagine for one moment this great country of ours in the year 2067? That’s one-hundred years from now and if the acceleration of our growth was to maintain the same pace, Canada would still be one ofthe leading nations of the world — if not the leader. But to sit and contemplate and try to forecast the future is not how this country was built, and crystal-ball gazing has never been a set formula for success. It is the wisdom, courage and action of great men like Sir John A. Macdonald, Laurier, Borden and others that has helped to make this country what it is today. So how can we as individuals, even dare, to think about or even voice opinions on how this country will look to the eyes of the world in the next one-hundred years. Impossible? Not really. Perhaps to look back in order to look ahead is the answer. That great span of time from 1867 to 1967 has served us well, and the accomplishments of the Canadian people have constantly multiplied over the years. For example. From a small beginning back in 1750 a pri¬ mary textile industry was established in Quebec. Today, the textile and clothing industry in Canada has a work force of 185,000 workers and the annual production in Quebec alone totals about $700 million. In 1803, the first Canadian paper mill established near Lachute, Quebec produced paper from rags, and forty-one years later, Charles Fenetry, lumberman’s son of Sackville, N.S., revealed details of his discovery of how to make paper from ground pulp. This was the start of the pulp and paper industry, which today generates one dollar in eight of in¬ comes of all Canadians. Newsprint paper is now a leading Canadian export commodity. Canada’s first motor vehicle is believed to have been an electric car built in 1893 by the Dixon Carriage Works in Toronto. In 1965 Canadian automobile assembly lines pro¬ duced 710,711 cars and 144,765 commercial vehicles. At the end of 1965 the total number of vehicles in use was almost 6,725,400. In 1882 the first practical use of electricity was put into operation in a Quebec textile mill who gener¬ ated its own power. Ever since, Hydro growth has continued to rise with a total output of electrical energy at a staggering 42 billion kilowatts in 1946, 134 billion in 1964 and 143 billion in 1965. Canada’s first nuclear power station, a 20,000 kilowatt experimental plant at Rolphton, Ontario, opened in 1962. In the area of transportation, Canada’s first road was a ten- mile, log-surfaced stretch built by Champlain in 1606. To date, the country has more than 430,000 miles of highways, including the famous Trans-Canada Highway which stretches a total of 5,160 miles and was built at a cost of $625 million. The first flight in Canada of a heavier-than-air machine under its own power (McCurdy’s Silver Dart) took place in 1909- Today there are over 5,000 licensed aircraft, more than half of them private planes. Canadian air carriers transport more than 5-5 million passengers a year. Back in 1867, the population of Canada was 3,689,000 with a total of 80,300 students and some 13,559 teachers in our schools. It is predicted that the student population will be 4,000,000 with 189,705 teachers out of a total population of 19,500,000 in 1967. In late 1965 the Bladen commission, appointed by the As¬ sociation of Universities and Colleges of Canada, forecasted total expenditures of universities would rise from $429 million in 1963-64 to $1.3 billion in 1970-71 and to $2.0 billion in 1975-76; the commission also forecasted that enrol¬ ment would rise from 201,000 in 1965-66 to 461,000 in 1975-76, or from less than seven per cent of the 18-24 years age group to about 16 per cent. Fact upon fact, figure upon figure, there are enough to fill a million pages and more and all of them relating to progress. Canada is still a very young country with fresh ideas and the most important quality that is synonymous with the young — AND THAT IS VITALITY. Where does Canada go from here? For a start, during its Centennial year the count ry will be host to some 70 countries from April 28 to October 27 during the Expo ’67 World Fair to be held in Montreal; host to over 33 different coun¬ tries during the Fifth Pan-American Games to be held from July 22nd to August 7th, in Winnipeg. Aren’t you proud to be a Canadian?

Since the establishment of the Bay’s first department stores at Winni¬ peg in 1881 and Edmonton in 1890 the Bay has progressed with the country. Today, 100 years after Confederation, the Bay still serves Canadians in its continuing tradition of quality.

I hope that this yearbook will help to re-create some of those moments of which you are fondest. Let the ' 67 CORONA BOREALIS be an aid to your memory. Many of us will be leaving this school, never to return again as students; but I hope that this book will go along to help all of us remember this special year. I know that I ' ll miss all of you but I ' ll have this yearbook with which to remember you. The CORONA BOREALIS ' 67 is a special book, full of new things, and I hope a worthy token of Concordia ' s part in Canada ' s Centennial. To those who come back to Concordia, let me say that with this book you can show new students what life here is like and how we live together in a Christian atmosphere. This school is you; keep it the wonderful place that it is. I would like to give special thanks to Coach Buck who helped a great deal in developing pictures. Thank you also, Diane Hayes, for the part you did in managing our business affairs. To the rest of the crew, also, thanks for your help. But thanks most of all to the students of Concordia College who provided the necessary material for this yearbook-your¬ selves. Thank you and God bless you in all your future endeavors. 2 Larry Rithaler Editor ism , V - , ' - ' win t im , -V M ' r ’ mi mSSstemaa m Bill •- i - %-iy f ' • M-A s [ !
