The staff of “Trie Tics” joins with the Faculty and student body in wishing Principal Graham God’s blessing in his retirement. Once again graduation time comes to the Collegiate Department of United College to climax a year’s work, study and fun; a year that has broadened our think¬ ing and outlook on life and has, in no small way, prepared us to face life with its many complexities. We, who have spent a year of work and study together, will now separate and take different paths. Some of us will return next year for more advanced studies; some will go elsewhere for training; some will enter the business world in order to make a living; but whatever we do or wherever we go we carry with us a common bond—that of being part of the tradition of United College. Whatever we do or wherever we go we shall share that common bond, not only with the 1954-55 graduating class, but with all those who in the past have been part of this tradition and those who are yet to come. This tradition of which we are a part is based on the motto: “Lux et Veritas Floreant”—Light and Truth Flourish. The College itself is dedicated “To the Glory of God and the Advancement of Sound Learning.” This tradition has produced many great men and women in every walk of life. In the field of politics, education, theology, business; in short, in almost every walk of life, men and women who have made important contributions to society. It is indeed a privilege and an honor to Ibe a part of such a tradition. “What next?” is the thought of many students. “Where do I go from here?” One of the greatest needs of society today is the need for educated young people. Young people who are willing to face the pressing problems of the world today and attempt to solve them. If it is at all possible, we should consider the possibility of furthering our education in order to help fill this need. However, whatever we decide to do, whether it be higher education, a profession or a career in the business world, let us always rememlber that we are a part of a living tradition and do our utmost to live up to that tradition. I would like to express my sincerest thanks to the members of the Faculty Who so ably and unselfishly gave of their time to guide us in the publication of this book. Also to the members of the “Trie Tics” committee for their co-operation and zeal. It was a wonderful experience to work with them. On behalf of the committee, I would like to express appreciation and thanks to those students who sold advertising, helped in the preparation of the material for printing, and those who submitted material for the Literary Section and ideas for a cover. In closing, may I wish everyone the best of luck and God’s blessing in what ever the future may hold. K.R. Page Five “Ttle Vaice “7%e ’PiiocifraC ■ “And what more shall I say? For time would fail me to tell of Gideon, Barak, Sampson, Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets . . .” “All these, though well attested by their faith, did not receive what was promised, since God had fore¬ seen something better for us, that apart from us they should not be made perfect.” “ Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus the pioneer and perfecter of our faith.” Selected from Hebrews 11:32-12:2 I have chosen as my theme for this farewell message to the collegiate these selections from the Epistle to the Hebrews. I have done so because it is always stimu¬ lating, if not exciting, to find people living widely apart in time and space saying much the same things and adopting much the same attitudes to life. There is such a correspondence between this passage from the Epistle to the Hebrews and some words written by Edmund Burke, the great 18th century English states¬ man and orator, 1,600 years and more after this Epistle was written. “Society,” wrote Burke, “is a partnership in all science, a partnership in all art, a partnership in every virtue and in all perfection. As the ends of such a partnership cannot be attained in many generations, it becomes a partnership not only between those who are living, but between those who are living, those who are dead, and those who are to be bom.” 1. The first point of similarity between these two writers which strikes us is that they both react to contemporary life in much the same way. Neither of them was content to play the role of spectator, to stand aside and merely look on at the human struggle as it worked itself out in his own com¬ munity in his own time. Each felt himself to be closely and significantly involved in that struggle. They use different figures of speech to express this feeling but the import of these is the same. The writer of Hebrews uses the figure of an athletic contest held in a stadium packed with witnesses. To him there is nothing casual about life. It demands of him the dedication of all his powers to achieve a distant goal over a rugged course. Concurrently it demands of him the self-discipline by virtue of which one makes choices between lesser and greater values. 2. There is, in the second place, another point of similarity between them which, because of this, be¬ comes more striking and significant. The writer of Hebrews and the great Burke are alike in this that they feel the present to be an outgrowth of the past. To them the social process is a genetic process. This means that they conceive civilized society as a growth, not a mere structure, as a tree with roots imbedded deep in the past, the very life of which de¬ pends upon maintaining the vitality of those roots. This does not mean that their viewpoint is that of the antiquarian who is interested in anything ancient merely because it is ancient, and who is more than likely, because of this, to get lost in the past. Nor does iit mean that they idealize the past or take an uncritical view of it. What it does mean is that they have a truly critical attitude to it, that they see it as it really was, at times noble, at times ignoble, at times creative and progressive, at times destructive and reactionary— but considered as a whole, a mighty contributor to the values enjoyed by them and their contemporaries. And the effect of this is to fill them with a sense of responsibility to the past, a feeling that they them¬ selves, in their own day, must add to the values in their cultural heritage. The writer of Hebrews states this very clearly when he writes: “And all these, though well attested by their faith, did not receive what was promised, since God had foreseen something better for us, that apart from us they should not be made perfect.” Only those who isolate themselves from contem¬ porary life, those who rationalize it to accord with some preconceived theory springing, perhaps, from bitter personal experience, fail to develop a due and proper sense of the fact that the living past lives in the actual present, and that our partnership, as Burke puts it, is with the dead as well as with the living. 3. Finally, the great statesman and the writer of the Epistle are alike in this that each has a sense of the relevancy of the immediate present to the future, a confidence that the higher values for which men strive in the present will appeal to generations yet unborn and that progress will be made toward a more satisfying fulfilment of them. It is to be remarked that neither thinks of progress in terms of mere change. For them there are no short¬ cuts to the high goals of social experience. It is to those who seek mean ends that short-cuts through violent force appeal. If, for example, the end in view is the subjugation of one class in society by another, violence may promise to open up a shortcut to such a mean end. Burke makes use of quite a different figure, the figure of partnership. To live in any society is to become a partner in its quest for values, the values which reside in goodness, in beauty and in truth. And at the very centre of the concept of partnership is the idea of the personal responsibility of each partner to all his partners. A partnership is a sharing of values by those who have made an equitable contribution to the creation of those values. Here, then, are two men living thousands of miles apart in space and centuries apart in time who find in the life of their own community in their own day a challenge which absorbs not only their interest but stimulates them to marshall and use all their personal capacities and powers. In such a case, however, the promise is as hollow as the end is mean and the inevitable result is change without growth, the mutilation and weakening of the tree of life. The author of the Epistle to the Hebrew states his attitude to the future thus: “Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses (from our past), let us also lay aside every weight and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us looking to Jesus the pioneer and perfecter of our faith.” The end he had in view, then, was the end which Jesus had preached, the redemption of the human race as a whole, and he knew that the way to that end would be long and hard. This is exactly Burke’s view of the human struggle when he declares that society is a partnership also “with those Who are yet to be Just as the writer of the Epistle says of the stal¬ warts of the past that they cannot be made perfect without us, so you and I have to recognize our depen¬ dence on those who come after us. We, too, cannot be made perfect without them. Looked at in the large, the job of education is to build up in each rising generation the sense of being essential to a continuing order of things, an order which has established its right to continue both by virtue of great achievements in the past and by virtue of still greater promise for the future. What the nature of that promise is is made clear by the writer of the Epistle in the clause, “looking to Jesus the pioneer and perfecter of our faith.” In him, and in no one else, we find adequately crystallized and fore¬ cast the destiny of a humanity redeemed by the love God manifested in him. W. C. GRAHAM Page Seven Voice 7 e ' Dean All REVOIR, UR. GRAHAM The Collegiate Year Book, “Trie-Ties”, has most fittingly dedicated this issue to our esteemed and beloved Principal whose retirement in June rings down the curtain on seventeen years of inspired leadership at United College. It was in June, 1938, that the tradi¬ tions and the Charters of the Presbyterian Manitoba College and the Methodist Wesley College were merged by a new charter into United College under the United Church of Canada. However, while charters alone may combine they do not necessarily unite the varied tradi¬ tions and patterns of the original entities. The Board of Regents, therefore, was confronted with the difficult task of searching for a man who could in his own per¬ son do what charters alone could not accomplish. Its Choice fell upon Dr. William Creighton Graham, a brilliant Canadian scholar who for thirteen years had occupied a professorial chair in the field of Old Testa¬ ment Language and Literature in the Divinity School of the University of Chicago. That he forsook the relative ease of the Chair in Divinity to accept the arduous duties of administrator and teacher as the principal of United College was in itself evidence of the unselfish and idealistic character of the man whom the Board had selected. The uninterrupted sequence of successes and the growth of United College under his leadership vindicate the members of the Board in the wisdom of their choice. From the beginning, Principal Graham recognized in the composition and spirit of United College an unique academic experiment and a great Christian challenge. He recognized the peculiar educational op¬ portunities presented by a college consisting of three departments, ranging from Collegiate through Arts ' and Science to Theology, under one administration. He was captivated by the potential values of inter¬ departmental stimulation and contact and particularly impressed with the opportunities thus provided through a Christian college for youth not only to achieve a sound education but also to understand the value of a Christian philosophy of life. With these ideals in mind, he has given unceasing support and encouragement to all departments alike. And now as he relinquishes his leadership of the College, he is surer than ever in his belief, supported by convincing results, that United College with its unique composition and dis- tinot academic and spiritual goals has opportunities to offer to youth that are not only valuable today but will become increasingly important in the years that lie ahead. To those of us Who have shared his enthusiasm, his vision, his work, his disappointments and his suc¬ cesses, it is difficult to accept the reality of his retire¬ ment. But having shared these experiences with him, we are among the first to wish him every happiness in this well-earned release from administrative duties. To all who have known him, even casually, his retire¬ ment marks the close of a recognized era of great growth at the College. It has been an era of physical growth in numbers of students and in buildings, and an era of academic growth, for Dr. Graham is above all else a scholar. To all the students who attended the college during his term of office, his retirement will mark the removal of a symbol which in his person embodied the spirit and soul of United College itself, the spirit of friendship, of kindness, and of thoughtful concern for others; the soul that strove for truth in honest labor, research, study, and the Christian way of life. For all these things we will miss him greatly. Now we say au revoir and thank you for every¬ thing, in the sure knowledge that past, present, and future generations of students at United will say of him as Wordsworth said: “And, when the stream Which overflowed the soul was passed away, A consciousness remained that it had left, Deposited upon the silent shore Of memory, images and precious thoughts That shall not die, and cannot be destroyed.” C.

I T IS my understanding that the president’s message should convey best wishes to the graduating classes as well as a few thoughts which will cause fellow- students to pause, look back at the year which has gone, and look ahead to the careers which no doubt many have already chosen. This year, moreover, we are paying tribute to Dr. W. C. Graham who is retiring after seventeen years as principal of our college. In September, 1954, our approximately 250 Col¬ legiate members arrived at United College mostly as strangers, with varying backgrounds and ambitions, but with one common bond—the completion of a high school education in a college which has an old estab¬ lished reputation among the educational institutions of Canada. United College probably did not represent a great deal to most of us at that time; it was to be merely a means to an end. Now, in June, 1955, it has taken on for us a new meaning; it has become a bond of common interest. It has given us an opportunity of sharing not only a valuable experience in learning, but also of making new and lasting friendships. Both of these experiences lyill, I am sure, always give us a sense of indebtedness to the College. Our academic work has been influenced by the stimulating guidance we have had from our teachers, and our friendships enriched by the tolerance and understanding we have received from them throughout the year. But colleges are made up of people whose per¬ sonalities and abilities leave their lasting effects and provide the foundations on which others may continue to build. Dr. Graham’s work and influence illustrates in a most outstanding way such a basis for the con¬ tinued growth and development of United College. This year marks the close of a chapter in the great role that our principal, Dr. Graham, has played in the history of United College. He has been a strong supporter of the Collegiate Department as an integral part of United College, wit h its three divisions con¬ sisting of Collegiate, Arts and Science, and Theology, all closely united under one administrative head. The acclaim given Dr. Graham indicates the respect and admiration that the student body as a whole has for him because of devoted interest in the welfare of every department of the College. He is a great scholar, a great theologian and, above all, a great humanitarian. With Dr. Graham goes our very best wishes and sincere thanks for the part he has played in bringing our college to the forefront among Canadian educa¬ tional bodies. This year has had a very special meaning for me, having returned to school after several years away from studying. Although this has been a handicap in some ways, it has proved an advantage in others. (Continued on page 31) Page Nine Collegiate Graduation Order ' Preceedutf MR. ALLAN H.

In my mind there is no doubt that the Grade XI class of 1965 is one of the most remarkable in the history of the college. Recently, in a speech entitled “If I Had My Way”, I outlined some innovations which apparently appealed to these eager students (thirsting for knowledge). I suggested that the examination pass mark be raised at least to seventy-five per cent. These zealous students agreed that this was reasonable and easily attainable. I recommended that the young ladies should be segregated from the young gentlemen to create an atmosphere more conducive to serious study¬ ing. These sober students again heartily concurred. But the proposal which was received with the greatest enthusiasm was the idea that the school day should be extended, with classes beginning at seven o’clock in the morning and reluctantly terminating at five in the evening, including Saturdays. I understand that this also appealed to the faculty. This will give those assembled here tonight an insight into the character and calibre of the 1954-55 graduating class. And herein lies perhaps the honour of my being chosen to represent this class at the culmination of a year of scholastic effort. But, in a more serious vein, I would like to express, in all sincerity, my thanks to my class for having accorded me the privilege of speaking to you tonight on their behalf. I am humbly aware that I have received the highest honour which can be bestowed by one’s fellow students, and I am indeed very proud to have been chosen by them as their representative. In most schools the graduating students achieve a sense of unity through several years of working and learning together. I think it says a great deal for the spirit of this Collegiate that we have achieved that sense of solidarity in just one term. Throughout this year personalities have merged, without individuali¬ ties becoming submerged, both in our social activities and in the classroom, and all our efforts have united to maintain the traditions of high scholarship through individual enterprise with which the name of United College is associated. As I think back to the beginning of this term, I remember seeing what appeared, at that time, to be a teeming mass tumbling through the portals of this old college. I then became aware that we, as a group, represented a cosmopolitan cross-section of society. Our backgrounds and our racial and cultural heri¬ tages were different, but before long we shared a common bond, that of being citizens of United College. Within a few months we recognized the value of the liberal education which we were receiving, as our horizons were extended beyond our own limited boundaries. Those of us who have been enrolled at United during this, Dr. Graham’s final year of service to the College, count it a privilege to have come under the influence of such a renowned scholar and teacher. For the tradition of Christian teaching, as exemplified by Dr. Graham, has found an echo in the spirit of the whole faculty. Perhaps no other educational institution exists which has the welfare and interests of the individual student so who lly at heart, and which emphasizes so much the worth of the individual. We individually are deeply appreciate of this interest. There is an enviable relationship between die staff and the students here which sets this institution apart from others. The informal lectures in the classroom are provocative and stimulating and encourage the students to think for themselves. The students respond to this recognition of their growing feeling of maturity, and thereby develop in character. 1 think that Dean Halstead has often explained that one of the reasons why this personal interest pre¬ dominates among the staff is because all the members of the College Faculty are graduates of United College. We cannot adequately express our gratitude for their seemingly inexhaustible patience and their devotion to our best interests. They give unstintingly of their time and they are always ready to offer encourage¬ ment and advice regarding our i mmediate or future activities. For example, there is the often repeated forecast of weather conditions which will prevail during the month of August. “It is surprising how fast the sound of the teacher’s voice travels When it is eighty-six degrees in the classroom . . .” And if sometime in the future I come upon the remarkable spectacle of an eminent citizen standing “. . . in vacant or in pensive mood . . .”, I shall be inclined to think, ah, this is the result of those heartfelt pleadings to “. . . think, class, think.” And not least among the people who have shared in making this a successful year are our parents, guardians and friends. Their material sacrifices and moral support have enabled us to enjoy this year, and we thank them very sincerely for the opportuni¬ ties which this year at United has afforded us. Undoubtedly there has been times when our thoughts have been to the contrary, but I think that we will all acknowledge that this has been a momen¬ tous year for each of us and another milestone along the road to worthwhile citizenship and public service in a country which is assuming a unique place among nations. (Continued on page 31) Page Twelve Congratulations Luck GRADUATES ' Nutrition is our Business” SWIFT CANADIAN COMPANY LIMITED Page Thirteen (fauU XII ' l cdedtcfo’Uf Mr. Chairman, Honored Guests, Dr. Graham, Members of the Faculty, Ladies and Gentle¬ men, Fellow Students: , like many students all over Canada who are graduating this year, are saying goodbye to our childhood schooldays. We have been like a bird, sheltered and guided through our childhood by the love and understanding of our parents. They have taught us honesty, respect and obedience, all vital qualities amongst men. We have been taught how to work and live in harmony with other people in this corrupt world of today, and this individual harmony will help to promote world peace. We are deeply grateful to our parents for the wonderful preparations and sacrifices that they have so freely made, that we may ' be able to stand here today and receive our diplomas. Now we are ready to proceed alone. The flight will be rough and tedious at times, and we must ' be ready to weather many storms before the sky is clear. Without the encourage¬ ment and guidance of our parents, our first flight would be dangerous. Graduation is to us like the flight of a bird. We anticipate disappointment and are somewhat leery of the trip ahead, but a natural progressive instinct draws us from our nests into a new world full of opportunities. Canada is just such a “New World”. She is a country of endless opportunities and a land whose potentialities are only now being recognized, a land whose resources of oils and minerals are only now being evaluated. It is these resources, which are so freely offered to other nations not so fortunate, that will give our generation, and those who come after us, the privilege and yet the great responsibility of leading Canada to greater prosperity. This leader¬ ship in world affairs, which seems to be Canada’s destiny, is undoubtedly the result of the willingness of the Canadian people to live and work in harmony with people of all races and creeds. They ask for nothing as a nation that they will not offer to others, and they are freely offering to work with backward nations without hope of personal gain, in the belief that this is God’s way of life. We demand only that our privileges of speech, freedom of religion, and freedom to choose our own work and way of life, be left with us, and so long as we retain the true spirit of democracy within us, we will have no fear. Regarding Canada as a nation, we cannot but realize that what we have and enjoy now is greatly attributable to the men and women, who, as pro¬ fessors, lecturers and teachers, have devoted so much of their lives to the education of an often unwilling Looking backward, we cannot praise each indi¬ vidual teacher enough for his assistance. They have helped us mold our character, and their eagerness has been an inspiration to us to seek higher and better things. To these teachers who have devoted even their spare time for our advancement, in spite of our neglected homework and often half-hearted co¬ operation, goes our deepest gratitude. Without this guidance we would have fluttered and fallen on our first flight. We shall never forget the wonderful school spirit, and the enthusiasm in all events, which we experi¬ enced in our last year at Collegiate in United College. We have enjoyed participating in the sports and in the students’ organization. We shall always remember the long corridors through which we strolled every day, and the many stairs down which we raced at the end of every class. Toni’s was our second home— a place of laughter and ear-splitting noise, as new friends joined in happy conversation. We are leaving behind many friendships formed this past year and it greatly saddens us to do so. We have associated closely with people of different races and creeds, and have truly learned the value of friendship. We are also bidding farewell to Principal Graham, who is leaving the College after many years of devoted service, and express most sincerely the thanks and appreciation of this graduating class. He has been respected and admired by the students, past and present, and I would like to extend, on their behalf, a most earnest wish for a long and happy period of rest and relaxation. To his successor, Dr. Lockhart, we give a most cordial welcome and an assurance of co-operation in his daily work. In concluding, I would like to thank the students of this graduating class for choosing me to give this farewell speech on their behalf. I wish them every success in their future flight and, with God’s help, I know they will succeed.

Certainly the years spent as a student would appear to be among the most significant in our lives. During these years the knowledge gained from our studies, and the self-confidence built up as a result of our accomplishments, are negligible unless they are accompanied by a better understanding and considera¬ tion of our fellow men and a sincere appreciation of what there is still to learn. Whether this year means the completion of our school attendance or whether it marks the beginning of a university education, such an approach to life’s most formative and challenging years is a matter of prime importance. May I now express my thanks to members of the faculty who have guided our studies, to the various Collegiate committees who have organized the student activities and to the student body as a whole for mak¬ ing this year one of the most enjoyable in the Col¬ legiate Department’s historyi GRADE XI VA L EDICTORY (Continued from Page 12) Whether tonight marks the opening of a door to higher educational pursuits, or whether it indicates the climax of our academic careers, we have all arrived with certain emotions of elation mixed with misgivings. Our tomorrows may be unknown but as we begin a neiw chapter of life our experience here at United College will have taught us that we can take courage from the words of Minnie Louise Haskins: “And I said to the man who stood at the gate of the year: ‘Give me a light that I may tread safely into the unknown.’ And he replied. ‘Go out into the darkness and put your hand into the hand of God. That shall be to you better than a light and safer than a known way.’ ” AUDREY HUNTINGFORD.

Perhaps with the addition of a gymnasium in the near future, this interest will soar to an even greater height. The first big event of the sports season was the “Little World Series” between fourth year and col¬ legiate. Fourth year defeated collegiate 5-4 in the finals to win the interhouse championship. With ■baseball concluded, a schedule was set up for an intersection, six-man touch football league, with XH-1 claiming the spoils. This same team played two games with the Fort Garry champions, second year Arts, each team winning a game. At the same time Dick Lennox, of XII-3, was acclaimed golfing champion of United College. The collegiate curling bonspiel was once again a great success. The winning rink comprised Don Craw (skip), Johanne Peterson, Ron Simonite and Dean Halstead. (A novelty event between the faculty team, Dean Halstead (skip), Mr. Tomlinson, Mr. Rutherford and Mr. Longman, and the students’ team, Keith Armstrong (skip), Bob Hazell, Bob Wilson and Len Danchuk certainly deserve a lot of credit for their fine efforts in organizing the ’sped. Another popular event in the department of ath¬ letics was the collegiate bowling league. The winning team was captained by Bob Wilson and comprised Joan Speed, Larry Kussin, and anchor man Len Dan chuk. The winners of the consolation series con¬ sisted of Joan Plummer, Martha Travers, Dennis Hug- gard and Dave Gourley. Simone Cohen and Len Danchuk were the high average bowlers. The great success of this league can be attributed to the hard work of the bowling convener, Andy Totin. Without a doubt, this year’s edition of the boy’s collegiate basketball team was the finest ever. The “Red and White Machine” defeated St. Paul’s College in three games to win the Private Schools champion¬ ship and the right to enter the Provincial High School Basketball Tournament. Here the team was elimi¬ nated in a close game by the eventual winners, Isaac Newton. Members of the team were: Bill Novak (captain), Dave Drybrough, Brian Aikins, Larry Kussin, Dennis Halford, George Mitchell, George Phillips, Dave Smith, Gary Swan, Glen Coopsr, Gerry MuSker, Ted Franco, and Frank Wiener. The team was coached by Bob Hazell, with Mr. Tomlinson as manager. In closing this report special thanks should be given to the members of the athletic committee, Cliff Rodin (secretary), Gary Swan, Bcfo Sloane, Russ Dumka, Ken Platen, Andy Totin, George Mitchell, Les Marks, and to Mr. Tomlinson, whose supervision and experience helped us out in our dire moments of need. With these final words, we wind up the athletic year of ’54-’5S—“Good luck, farewell, and God bless MICHAEL KACHMAR, Athletic Chairman.

CAST OF STUNT NITE SKIT The external evidence of theatrical activities in the Collegiate was the Stunt Nite skit. The com¬ mittee sat down many, many times to decide which ideas and dialogue should Ibe used for the skit. The finished product was a pot-pourri of one-sided opin¬ ions on Canadian and American personalities. The personnages included the Montreal Allouettes, Willie Mosiencko, the Hon. Jack Pickersgill, Prime Minister Mackenzie King, Marilyn Munroe, Seagram Chuba, Kate Aitken, Marilyn Bell, Gussie Ryder, plus about fifteen others. The work that the actors put into the production was rewarded as we won the Stunt Nite trophy for the second year in succession. In February, the Collegiate entered a one-act play, “High Window”, by Verne Powers, in Theatre Night. The cast included Andy Totin, Audrey Huntingford, Shirley Dempsey, Bob Howden, and Margaret John¬ son. Audrey Huntingford was awarded the Best Actress Award after giving us a superb performance as an elderly murderess. I should like to thank the students who aided these efforts by working on costumes, stage scenery, make¬ up, and those who came through the door to watch the productions. I wish also to extend my thanks to Shirley Grosser, whose work in directing and in designing costumes and scenery was very helpful. The faculty advisors were Miss M. Moore and Mr. W. Rutherford. Their help was graciously given and received appreciatively. Their assistance and guid¬ ance helped the committee of greenhorns over the rough spots. Due to the co-operation of the students and guidance of our advisors, the year for theatre was a great success. Thank you, students and faculty. G. BOTCHETT.

The term was started with our annual introduction better known as the “Get- Together Social”. Included in the afternoon enter¬ tainment was a speech by our principal, Dr. Graham, who welcomed, sincerely, new students in the Col¬ legiate Division. Later in the same week, a Freshie Reception was held at the Assinilboine Hotel. Good music, dancing and food resulted in an enjoyable evening. The autumn season came to a close with the Col¬ legiate Initiation Dinner and Dance, held at the Rose- land Dance Gardens. Dinner and speeches were enjoyed during the first half of the evening followed by dancing and entertainment supplied by the College Quartet. The year 1954 clossd with the annual College formal “Snowflurries”, held at the Royal Alexandra Hotel. (It actually snowed that night.) The New Year came in with a bang. On January 14th we held the big Collegiate dance of the year— “Snowshuffle”. Convocation Hall was gaily decorated with streamers and balloons. Buddy Renton and his orchestra supplied the music. Additional entertain¬ ment was provided by the “Four Chords” and our own Roy Joseph. The ball was rounded off nicely by a closing word from Ted Ottley. On February 15th a Tally-Ho was held. Coffee and doughnuts were served. The turnout could have been much better but nevertheless we broke even in our expenses. Easter exams approached rapidly but so did St. Patrick’s Day. For the benefit of the Irish, we had a St. Patrick’s Dance. Convocation Hall was decked out in shamrocks, streamers, balloons and Bsn Skin¬ ner’s big black hat. (Thanks a lot, Ben.) The graduation service was held at Westminster United Church on May 30th, at 7.30 p.m. This was followed by a dance at the Roseland Dance Gardens, square dancing, and refreshments. Plans are being readied for the Collegiate Sports Day. This event will consist of bowling, baseball, square dancing, and refreshments. In closing this report I wish to extend my sincere thanks to our Faculty advisors, Miss Mills and Mr. Rutherford, and also to the members of my committee, consisting of Ben Skinner, Clarice Toole, Barbara Brown, Pat Devlin, Grant Rowan, Verne Rubinstein, Lois Winestock, Doreen Smith, and Margaret Grant. Special thanks to Roy Joseph for giving so freely of his time and talent on numerous occasions. JIM McILROY, Social Chairman.

Collegiate iteligious Studies Committee Throughout the past session the Religious Studies Committee has endeavored to keep the various sections of the Collegiate Department informed about the religious activities carried on within the College. The various class representatives have tried to keep the students familiar with the time-tables of the S.C.M. and I.V.C.F., so that students might attend those Bible Study groups or social gatherings which best suited their hour-budget. We also, with the help of faculty members and interested students, have tried to en¬ courage attendance at morning chapel Which is con¬ ducted each day of the week just after the first class. After the New Year, five regular class periods in Grade XII were assigned to a general study of the Old and New Testaments under the general heading, “Basic Principles ' of Christianity”. These classes were conducted by Professors George E. Taylor, Charles R. Newcomfoe, and H. Gordon Harland, of the Theological Department of the College. In Grade XI a similar number of classes were given by the Professor of Psychology, Mr. Clifford J. Robson, the subject being “The Sermon on the Mount.” The attendance at the classes was recorded by the Religious Studies representatives. Those students who attended the required number of classes will receive at graduation Christian Leadership Education Certifi¬ cates, in each case from the particular church to which he or she may belong. More than two hundred stu¬ dents will receive these certificates from United, Anglican, Baptist, Presbyterian and Canadian Council of Churches. Your committee wishes to thank Professors G. ' .Z. Taylor, C. E. Newcombe, H. G. Harland, C. J. Robson, and Dean Halstead who helped to make this activity such a success. KEN RENTZ, Chairman LESLIE ANDERSON, Secretary Page Thirty-eight Section . . . GOD’S SNOWFLAKE A little snowflake is something odd, It partly forms the grace of God Floating down from high aibove As graceful as a Morning Dove.

THE EXPOSE OF THE FAREBOX RACKET T HE following is a true confession of one cf the most notorious enemies of the people — bus I am speaking to you from the interrogation cham¬ bers of this city’s prison. I was invited six months ago to come and answer a “few” questions. I am still here. I wouldn’t be here now if a well-known reporter hadn’t decided to live on forty dollars a month. It seems that he was going to become a bus driver in order to expose us, but he had a cha nge of plans. He said something about being afraid that he would end up like Captain Queeg. It all started March 12, 1930, when I graduated from driving school to the streets, gutters, and occa¬ sionally the sidewalks of this metropolis. This was the beginning of my infamous career as a bus driver. I’ll never forget my first day behind the wheel. I took my weapon out of the garr.ge and headed down town. It was raining, and the rain looked for all the world like champagne flowing into a cocktail glass. I approached a stop where a large group of people were waiting, huddled in a shelter. I slowed down invitingly and as they surged out onto the sidewalks into the rain, I swerved to the curb, sending a wall of dirty water showering over them. That was quite a thrill for me, happening on my first day. Not many drivers can boast of this on their first day. Another of my favorite tricks occurs when the bus is jammed to overflowing. I stop at the next stop and patiently wait as the crowds attempt to push into the already packed bus. When the last man is halfway in I shut the door without mercy, trying always for the neck. I’ll never forget the fun I had last winter. For no discernible reason, I opened the front and rear doors and travelled thus for about seventeen blocks. I was quite secure in my little nook, but the passengers would have done better to rent a frozen food locker. Suddenly I shut the doors tight, cutting off all venti¬ lation, and then turned on the heaters, shutting them off only when a passenger’s celluloid collar burst into flames. One of my personal favorites is directed towards out-of-town people. These are the type that trust¬ ingly ask you to let them off at a particular street. I usually smile pleasantly, assuring them that I will do so. As I pass the street in question, I mumble something that sounds like Wasamininechiorthj and say no more until the passenger begins to suspect that all is not well. When he or she timidly inquires as to the location of the stop, I loudly scold her for not listening and let her off in some distant suburb. One way to solve the problem of having the pas¬ sengers move to the rear of the bus is to step on the accelerator until the bus is doing about fifty and then, as you slam on the brakes, call sweetly, “Move to the rear of the bus, please.” My crowning glory came last fall—it was the talk of the depot for weeks. I was waiting at a heavy traffic corner when a man, halfway down the inter¬ section spotted me. He swung into a clumsy gallop, hoping to reach the bus before I drove away. I opened the doors invitingly and pumped the airbrakes impatiently in order to spur him on. Just as he came helter-skelter to the door with everyone eagerly watching (I prefer to play to the crowd), I slammed the doors at the exact instant that he reached them, simultaneously the bus lurched forward crunching his upper plates. These have been my true confessions, the shocking story of the “Bus Driver”. I have an invitation to “What’s My Line”, so I must go. Loosen the chains, men! I am free—free to drive my bus. AL BIRTLE. Editor’s Note: Any similarity between the character in the above article and a real bus driver is purely intentional. Page Forty DESPAIR Shut your eyes! Blank your mind!

You wouldn’t think so now to look at me, but I still have my pride; I can still remember when . . . but that seems so long ago now. It was back in 1895 when I made my debut on Winnipeg tracks. There were ten of us “greenhorns” that year. We managed to start quite a controversy in Winnipeg. Some people shook their heads in dis¬ belief that these modem “new-fangled” electric vehicles could be relied upon. Horses used to glare at us when we clanged by on the steel rails; we had succeeded the outmoded equine-drawn streetcars. It amuses me to recall how smug and sure we were of ourselves. We didn’t believe it possible for ourselves to be demobilized. Yes, I was new then; brilliant orange with black trim. In front, I proudly carried a beacon light and a great iron monstrosity they called a “cow-catcher”. Chiefly designed as a rescue device for unsuspecting pedestrians, it succeeded only in making me look rather fearful and forbidding. My interior had been comfortably equipped with green plush seats and handy leather straps for the less fortunate to grasp While standing. There was no luxury spared then to make the journey comfortable for the passengers. At that time I was important enough to have two oper¬ ators on board. One man drove me while the other stood at the back to collect tickets, punch transfers, and signal “Stop” or “Go” by jangling a little bell. It was exciting to be a part of this new transportation system. Perhaps it is the same in any line of work, how¬ ever; one tires by the humdrum existence. Many times I felt I could scrunch my brakes at the thought of another monotonous day up and down the tracks. True, there is very little thought required; one is hardly able to go wrong following the same rails, passing the same landmarks, and, very often, clanging at the same autmobiles or stray dogs. I feel I had my revenge to a certain extent though. After a particularly trying day, it would cause me no end or fiendish delight to see a capacity crowd, swaying as they stood, suddenly lose their balance as I ground to a jolting stop. I’ve seen some wonderful scrambles in my day! However, it is generally with a mixture of pride and nostalgia that I look back to the days of “courtesy” and “service”. The motormen seemed calmer and more serene then. They made a real effort to keep on schedule and many a time I have found myself travelling lickety-split down the tracks in order not to break my motor-man ' s record for being on time. Today, no doubt, that would evoke a few derisive chuckles from any who have impatiently waited for a glimpse of bright orange to appear on the scene. Still, we tried, and I really regret none of my experiences. I came into contact with many interesting characters and it was a good life while it lasted. In any case, one cannot travel up and down the tracks for fifty-odd years without experiencing con¬ siderable “wear and tear”. A certain chronic creaki¬ ness set in around my joints, and I developed some rather nasty rattles. I should have suspected some¬ thing then, but I think the real sign of old age was when the noisy, clamoring crowds began to bother me. They pushed, jostled, struggled and fought to climlb aboard, with nearly the same procedure when alighting. It suddenly seemed so pointless and more frantic than usual. “Tension of the times,” folks said, but the good old days were gone forever. What really took the heart out of me was the appearance of those confounded trolley buses. The little gas buses had been accepted, and it was agreed that they eased our work. With Winnipeg growing by leaps and bounds, it was necessary to serve many more people. But the impudent self-assurance of these trolleys quite upset me. They seemed to creep in slyly at first. I warned the others that these young upstarts would displace us, but they laughed then. Well, I was right; now we’re being placed in the ranks of the unemployed. The future looks grim for some of us. However, perhaps I have the last laugh in any case. I may not move on rails now, but at least I have a permanent job in my retirement—I’m now a chicken Page Forty-one Starting your first job?
