DEDICATION REV. JACK L. PATERSON It is with a great deal of pleasure that we, the students of Mount Royal College, dedicate Varshicom ' 64 to Jolly Jack, Mr. Jack L. Paterson, Chaplain. Mr. Paterson was born and educated in Winnipeg, Manitoba. He completed High School while living on an Indian reserve north of Winnipeg. After one year of normal school he taught grades one to ten in a one room school for two years. He became a navigator in the RCAF and was shot down over Holland. He was given up for dead, but the Dutch people found him, housed and fed him and returned him to the English lines. On returning to Canada he decided to become a minister of the United Church. After six years of university training he was ordained. Rev. Paterson spent seven years at St. Andrews River Heights Church, Winnipeg. He was fortunate enough to be able to do two years post graduate work at Mew College, Edinburgh, Scotland. Rev. Paterson went to Medicine Hat where he was minister at Fifth Avenue United Church for four years. For the past three years he has been Chaplain for MRC, UAC, Tech, as well as instructor in Religious Education at Mount Royal College. We dedicate this yearbook to Mr. Paterson in appreciation of the contribution he has made to Mount Royal College. We look forward to his help and guidance in the future.
