19 59 “J C 7 ' c a I9 60 To a tried and trusted friend of United College students throughout the years since his own graduation. Mr. A. D. Longman. 2 UNITED COLLEGE UNITED COLLEGE is a good place to attend if you plan to increase your educational standing. Cen¬ trally located, it offers commodious pleasant surround¬ ings, excellent study facilities, an extensive library, an efficient faculty, and above all an active, alert and varied student body. UNITED COLLEGE is new and expanding, but rich in tradition. It is concerned to meet the challenge of a new world in a new day: but it will do it through you. 3 Come to United College. PRINCIPAL ' S MESSAGE Dr. Penfield, world-famous Canadian neurologist, speaking in Winnipeg late in February of this year, said “the primary function of education is to open the windows of the mind”. There is something very refreshing about this statement because it is so simple and yet so suggestive. It implies that the process of edu¬ cation is essentially that of enabling a person to see what he has not seen; to discern where he has not discerned and to understand where he has not under¬ stood. This process results in the pushing back of the frontiers of human knowledge and of extending human horizons so that a person is able to think clearly, to judge wisely and to act creatively. I hope that your time at United has brought you this kind of experience. I trust that windows have been opened that have enabled you to understand bet¬ ter the nature of the world in which you live, so that you appreciate more fully the wonder and mystery of life itself. 1 hope you have looked through windows so as to comprehend the great ideas of men before you, to have seen the visions they have seen and so to have found inspiration and encouragement from their achievements. 1 trust that windows have been opened so that you are now able to look upon those of other races and creeds and to see all men, irrespective of differences, as your equals and your brothers. Perhaps most important of all, I hope you have had some vision of the larger and nobler purposes that under¬ gird our human existence so that you have come to a deeper understanding of your own mission and destiny in life. What we have been able to do for you in College has perhaps been very limited. We have helped open some windows. We have tried to point you where you will find truth and understanding. You, however, have had to be willing to look, to search for meaning and above all, to lay claim to what awaits you be¬ yond any new horizon. Only through self-conscious disciplined effort on your part, have you been able to gain from the opportunities that have been provided. I hope that you will now match that effort by a passionate desire to use all the gifts and talents that life has given you to enrich the age in which you live. When you go from this college, keep alive your desire to ' know and to apprehend truth and never at any time, surrender your concern to remain sensitive and aware of the larger claims of life upon you. WILFRED C. LOCKHART, Principal. 4 DEAN ' S MESSAGE HONOR SIT QUI EST DICNUS HONORE All of those concerned, when considering to whom this edition of Trie Tics should be dedicated, thought of only one person—Alfred Duncan Longman. This is not surprising as Mr. Longman has always been held in high esteem—as an outstanding teacher, a faithful colleague, and a Christian gentleman. Alfred Longman was born in a sod house in Camduff, Assiniboia, North West Territories (now a part of the province of Saskatchewan). After moving to Man¬ itoba he began his elementary education in Deloraine and remained there until he had completed his final year of high school. He entered the First Year of Art s (Wesley College) in 1920 and graduated in 1924. Following graduation he en¬ rolled for summer courses in education at the University of Chicago (1925-28). As a student Mr. Longman exhibited a keen interest in dramatics, student publications and debating. His enthusiasm has not waned and he continues to provide valuable guidance in these areas. In his final year he served as class treasur¬ er and was chosen as valedictorian. Mr. Longman was appointed as an instructor in the Collegiate Division in 1924 and in addition acted as assistant dean of the men’s residence. By the spring of 1925 he had been promoted to the post of dean of residence, a position he con¬ tinued to hold until his marriage to Miss Delza Lakey in 1948. Miss Lakey had been a member of the College Faculty in the Department of English. In recent years Mr. Longman has been very active in the work of the United College Gradu¬ ates Association. In the course of his teaching career, Mr. Longman has taught many subjects including mathematics and science. Latterly his subject has been English—a field particularly suitfed to his talents and a medium by means of which he reveals to his students many of the principles which have served to guide his own life. As one of his colleagues, the writer welcomes this opportunity of expressing, on behalf of all members of the Collegiate Division, our gratitude for the loyal, useful, and devoted service which Mr. Longman continues to render within the college community. Mr. Longman has a favourite passage of scripture which he frequently quotes. It summarizes those values which he holds to be of primary importance and man¬ ages so ably to communicate to others. It is contained in Paul’s Epistle to the Philippians: Chapter 4-8: “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.’’ L. A. Tomlinson, Dean. Editorial It will soon be the end of another year at United College Collegiate. To many it has been a successful term, full of study and play, with the most co-operative faculty one would find in any school. I am sure that the students returning next year are looking forward eagerly to the beginning of the new term. To my classmates, who are carrying on in their quest for knowledge, may their venture be a successful one. I wish to offer many thanks to all who so graciously gave of their time and labour to make this yearbook a success. It is hoped that you will receive many fond memories when glancing through it in years to come. May I extend a very heartfelt “thank you” to the advertisers, without whose help this book could not have been published. In parting may I leave you with these words of wisdom writ¬ ten by the Dutch poet, Henry Van Dyke: “Four things a man must learn to do If he would make his record true: To think without confusion clearly; To love his fellow men sincerely; To act from honest motives purely; To trust in God and Heaven sincerely.” LARRY McCRADY, Editor. STUDENT COUNCIL FRONT ROW: Hans Kerr, Joan Langton, Jamie McEwen (President), Elaine Shewfelt, Craig Mc- MIDDLE ROW: Leslie Gay, Marilyn Watson, Mary Forke, Myrna Dunlop, Lila MacDonald, Nancy Sid Craven, Ron Peterson, Pat Hamilton. Ernie Wake,, The time has come for us to depart from these “hallowed halls of ole United.” With the passing of another year, and with June exams upon us, we are thankful for the guidance and supervision of a competent staff under our amiable Dean. To you, our teachers, we extend our most sincere appreciation. In summing up the year’s work, I would like to express my gratitude to each and every Collegiate student. Through your character and energy, you have con¬ tributed to making this year the success that it has been. Though I will undoubtedly omit the names of many deserving students, I woulo like to commend the council members as a whole, mentioning a few in particular, for the tireless effort and support that they have displayed throughout the year. First, I would like to mention Joan Langton, our “Coed Rep,” for her assistance and hard work. Hans Kerr, through his driving energy, led the Collegiate Building Fund to its great success (chocolate bar anyone?). Nancy Creighton should be mentioned for the success of her committee in “Theatre Nite.” We can attribute the success of our toboggan party and dances to Leslie Gay, Sid Craven and their social committee. Finally, we are deeply indebted to our Trie Tics staff headed by Larry McCrady. In your hands lies the evidence of the many hours that they have spent on our behalf. Although many of us will leave “United” after this year, let us hope that the ideals and acquaintances gained this year, will never be forgotten. Jamie McEwen President of Collegiate A. D.

It is a great honour to represent the Class of 1959-60 and it is something that I will remember for the rest of my life. The students of this year have obtained much from United College, and, on behalf of the students of the Grade XII Graduating Class, I would like to pay tribute to the Faculty. To thank these people is a pleasant assignment. I have never known a group of people who have worked so hard and who have been so dedicated to the advancement of the students. The Faculty Members of United College contributed great¬ ly to the spirit of the College. Regardless of their lack of spare time, one can still go into their offices and discuss matters of any nature. When it comes to extra¬ curricular activities, the teachers are the first to volun¬ teer with help and advice. Many of our committees could not have carried out their projects as success¬ fully as they did without the benefit of the advice and assistance of a staff member who always found time to be there. It is perhaps unfair to single out any one of the members of the Faculty when all of them have worked so hard. However, in my opinion, there are three members of the Faculty who should be especially thanked. I think of them as the “Jolly Trio” and con¬ sider them the crux of United College spirit. I refer to our Dean, Dean Tomlinson, our Assistant Dean, Mr. Rutherford, alias “Lunar Larry,” and our faith¬ ful mathematics teacher, Miss Mills. These three have never been too busy to help with advice, extra in¬ struction, admission slips, or hard work for some extra project. In extending these tributes and sincere thanks to the Faculty, I know that I am reflecting the feelings of every member of the 1960 Graduating Class. We will miss them all and they will miss “some of us” and, on behalf of the students, I wish them good health and prosperity. We, the Graduates, have arrived at an important phase in our lives. You will remember Robert Frost’s poem “The Road not Taken” in which he refers to a person standing at the crossroads of a path in the woods and being sorry he could not travel both paths. The third stanza of this poem reads as follows: “In leaves no step had trodden black Oh! I kept the first for another day Yet knowing how way leads on to way I doubted if I should ever come back.” Have not we, the Graduating Students, now arrived at a crossroads in life? Are we ready to make a decis¬ ion from which there is no return? Only the future has the answer but all of us who have the privilege of attending United College have had the opportunity to become well prepared for this decision. We will be confronted with problems regardless of which course we take but, in the past year, we have had training which should enable us to overcome these obstacles. We must go forward to this new phase of our life with confidence. Participation in student government, extra-curricular activities, and constructive criticism from the teachers have helped us to develop this con¬ fidence. We will be called upon to face problems of an international character. The influx of Communism, and racial prejudice, which appear to be causing so much concern today will continue to be issues. In combating these two, the world could benefit by ob¬ serving United College. Here Indian, Chinese, Jew and Gentile learn to work in perfect harmony and conduct their affairs in a democratic manner. We, the students of United must carry this lesson on with us in future life and must be ready to assume respon¬ sibilities of a community nature. We will want to make our contribution to the life of our church and other organizations. Here at United we have learned to work together for a common aim. One look at the College with its new buildings will show what can be accom¬ plished when a group of people—students, teachers, alumni, with active public support and united by school spirit, get together to build for the future. We must carry this spirit with us and in future years spread it to all phases of life. We, the students, must now say farewell to the Collegiate Department of United College. This past year has been a memorable year as well as one of enjoyment. We leave with the feeling of appreciation and many happy memories. When I think of all the things that have taken place in the past year, ideas race through my mind in a kaleidoscope of memories. These memories commence on the first day we entered United College. We soon became part of a class called either XII-1, 2 or 3. Soon keen competi¬ tion between XI1-1, 2 and 3 sprung up. By the end of the year each section had its own personality, its good points and its bad points. Many of our clear¬ est memories will come from these classes, a joke on the teacher, exam results, or a word of praise. Other memories will come from Tony’s, or from events between classes and many from extra curricular ac¬ tivities such as dances and parties. No doubt in twenty or thirty years we will sit with one of our children on our knees looking at a copy of the 1959-60 Trie Tics. As we leaf through the pages all of these memories will return. “This was the first day of school, this was the co-ed dance, this was were your mother captured me, and this was Graduation.” It has been a year that all of us will remember. Yes, it has been an eventful year and I am sure a profitable year. I have said we are entering a differ¬ ent phase of life and one I hope will be rich and re¬ warding. The past year will play a great part in our future life. It has helped us and prepared us for the many pitfalls we will encounter along the way. For this we qwe a great debt to United College and United staff. The best way we can repay this debt and many others is to make United College proud of us. Good luck! Craig McNamara 22 unia?

Because of the integrity and hard work of the students of the Collegiate Division of United College our building fund drives were smashing successes. Admittedly, the University section did do some work, although without us I feel the drives would have been little better than “just a job done”. In the chocolate campaign alone, in relation to the enrolment, Collegiate sold their quota and a goodly part of that of all the University departments. In all, we sold approximately three quarters of the chocolate bars. The management of the Polo Park Shopping Centre is probably still wondering where we got the energy and equipment to sell as many bars as we did at their establishment. Then, too, the police on their beats enjoyed the bars they had thrust at them as they were approached by our salesmen, especially the one who carried an empty wrapper as a badge of recognition for having helped this College, even if it was used for “getting off the hook.” Some people grumbled at our efforts, though, especially the motorists who were stopped at stop lights, stop signs, and even in the middle of the street, but in the long run everything was taken in good cheer. These people helped us tremendously though, and I believe they deserve the thanks of, at least, the Collegiate students who were so successful. Ample proof of our success is that a Collegiate student, Jack Price, won the suit which the Hudson’s Bay Company donated for the best salesman. A lot of “blood, sweat and tears” went into his efforts and I’m convinced all the students and myself feel he has earned our congratulations. At the beginning of the year in the campaign to raise funds for furnishing the New Tony’s, Collegiate did well. The reason for this was, perhaps, that we wanted the Old Tony’s for our own; the University students, however, still seem to like our company, for some usually sift their way back to the Old Tony’s. I should like to thank the officers and their assistants of each room, the publicity committee and the Collegiate Student Council for their fine work and their assistance. From these, Jeff Laidlaw, Diana Elwood, A1 Couch, and Susan Averbach deserve honourable mention. The girls who sat at the collecting table and the people who helped me in accounting, calculating and balancing our financial affairs are to be sincerely thanked. In fact, anyone who helped in the drives deserves recognition. Finally, I sincerely hope that all the collegiate students enjoyed working for the United College Building Fund as much as I did. I hope as well can be done next year. —HANS KERR, Chairman of Collegiate Building Fund. 32 THEATRE COMMITTEE SOCIAL COMMITTEE 33 POETRY We wish to extend our thanks to Miss Bennett, Miss Megaffin, and Mr. Longman, who so kindly consented to judge our Literary contest. 1st Prize ADVERTISEMENTS Science has reached the Pinnacle! Knowledge reigns Supreme! For in our mouthwash now is found — HEXACHLORAPHENE! What’s in this drug? Who dares to ask? A voice cries “Heresy”, “What’s good enough for Colgate, is good enough for me.” This ad should not be treated light, the pressure is too sore, For we are victims of this fight—this never ending war Of Ad-men, “Cad”-men, mad-men; the purgers of our brains, Who plead with us to buy their goods, “Without Financial Strains.” “Buy Now,” “Buy Large,” “Buy Happiness,” Fight the dread Inflation, Little realizing they indoctrinate a nation! Packard warned us; Wylie too. To them we pay no heed. Victims of our warped desires; fulfillers of our greed! The T.V. set, the radio, they weave o’er us a hex, What they can’t sell with honesty, they sell to us with SEX. Ah, yes! These beauteous maidens, who adorn our billboards where They plug everything from toothpicks, to Chevrolet’s Corvair. But are these ladies experts? Can they give a sage opinion? Or are they meant to decorate,—create in us a minion? Should we tolerate this trash? Mankind, take a stand! Eliminate these foolish ads, and purify the land. —Dave Maclennan, 11-B. 36 AND HERE WE STAND Today they look upon the universe And say, “It is by chance that we are here.” How wondrous does the accident appear, And great the matter whereof we converse! They say, “There is no God”, with tongues perverse; Their minds are dulled; they never can adhere To logic, truth and evidence more clear, And who be heirs of nothing but a curse. Come picture now the boundless starry face, The magnitude and marvel of its art. Who made the sun and stars, and heat and light? A living law doth keep the earth in place, And law is given from one who doth impart; And matter once was made by power of might. —Albert Stamler, 12-2. THE CUY IN THE CLASS When you get what you want in your struggle for pelf, And the world crowns you king for a day; Then go to the mirror and look at yourself, And see what that guy has to say. For it isn’t your father, or mother, or wife Who judgment upon you must pass — The fellow whose verdict counts most in your life — Is the guy staring back from the glass. He’s the fellow to please; never mind all the rest, For he’s with you right up to the end; And you’ve passed your most dangerous, difficult test, If the guy in the glass is your friend. You might be like Jack Horner and “Chisel” a plum, And think you a wonderful guy — But the man in the glass says you’re only a bum, If you’ve cheated the guy in the glass. —AlPakulak, 12-3. PACIFIC REFLECTIONS Who would not delight to be Where the mountains meet the sea? Blue clad mountains white with snow Mirrored in the depth below. Gently wafts the salt-sea air Ocean’s whispers to the ear Messages borne on the foam. By waves with many leagues to roam. Golden sunrise lights the scene Where Nature bides secure, serene, Balmy air and glowing skies Diffuse their joy and glad surprise. Sunset blazing o’er the waves, Flashes fire where’er it laves, And on each hill and valley glows With the soft color of the rose. Deep waters twindle at night As Myriad stars reflect their light The crescent moon sheds forth her beam And glides across a path of sheen. Earth and sky, mountain and strand, Reveal the wonders of God’s hand, And with all Nature offer praise To their Creator in glad days. Perardua. CHALLENGE There is a life friend That flows like a fountain; There’ll be great gladness All over the mountain; Accept the new life. There’ll be abundance; Look over there yonder; No need to worry, Not even to ponder, But come to the Mount. There’s a new land where You never grow older Take the one step friend Just be a bit bolder, Inherit the land. —Albert Stamler, 12-2. 38 Soft rays of Sun shone down through the trees, Bathing the Earth in gold, The Air was filled with the hum of bees, And the thousands of stories they told. Across the lake and through the trees, An alder grove could be seen, It was the home of the crowned king, And the graceful doe, his queen. There in that grove there lies a life, Heedless of the world’s long-lasting strife, He is a baby, a king to be, But he means even more than that to be. He is the gentleness of our world, As by his mother he lies curled, He is our past, our present and future Revealed to us in a living picture. To us he means but one more thing This awkward bundle soon to be king. His life is ours, unsteady, unsure, Ending only in bloodshed or war. He is God’s child like you or me, Tender and faithful, frightened and shy, We must remember as God’s Light beams down, This bundle of life is a jewel in his crown. —Gladys Finlay, 12-2.

Next time bring what they ought. —Anonymous. 1st Prize JANE AUSTEN AND MR. HARDY Whenever, in the course of the school year, I have had occasion to discuss the Prose course with some of my fellow male students, I have, almost invariably received the following state¬ ment, preserved in the vernacular: “Oh yeah. Mike, like that Pride and Prejudice is the dull¬ est. About as interesting and exciting as the Bobbsey Twins. But that Return of the Native . . . you’ll like that. I mean, this Hardy is a bit morbid and all, but there’s lots of action, like people drowning, and lots of poetic descrip¬ tions and oh yeah . . .” (At this point the speaker would usually interrupt himself to give me a little nudge with an elbow or wink with an eye, and then continue) “there’s that Eustacia Vye.” After being subjected to speeches like this a number of times I realized that Hardy’s novel was much more popular with these people be¬ cause it had a certain degree of physical action and also a quality which one can describe as a sort of tousled, wild-eyed romanticism coupled with a depressing, but always poetically-express¬ ed morbidity. These qualities seemed to rest in the minds of my colleagues as some of the most desirable of literary virtues. It never seemed to enter their minds that anyone would disagree with them on this point, but — oh well, I might as well come out and say it — I’ll take Pride and Prejudice any day. Concerning the aspect of comedy someone is always talking about how amusing Hardy’s rus¬ tic bumpkins are, but I prefer Miss Austen’s ability to bring out the inherent absurdity of the action of pompous snobs and fools, with a revealing quote or a wry turn of phrase. In¬ deed, Hardy reveals his basic humourlessness in the fact that he uses for objects of humour only the ignorant heath people, and never any of the more educated characters. As a result, although some of Eustacia’s wild romantic activities reach such a point of melodrama that one almost expects her to bound up to Wildeve with a rose clenched firmly between her teeth and propel him into a wild tango right there on the heath, Hardy sets them down instead with an almost reverent grimness. When Hardy treats his main characters as above humour, and for comic re¬ lief marches on his heath characters with their a: ignorance that he equates with humour, he shows f: a narrow sense of humour, and possibly a lack P of sensitivity. d Both Miss Austen’s and Hardy’s main char- acters are motivated by romantic impulses but Miss Austen, possibly because she’s a woman, has her characters behave much more sensibly, 1 indeed, more realistically than Hardy’s. And | when Lydia and Wickham hurry off into the woods of immorality Miss Austen does not in¬ culcate philosophical overtones, such as Fate, 1 the malignant First Cause, etc., as Hardy does, but makes it quite clear that it happened be¬ cause Lydia was an empty-headed and eager young thing, and Wickham was a callous lout, j A similar incident in Hardy’s novel is put forth as a result of the action of some malignant Fate against a woman whom Hardy says is a sort of a Goddess, a woman who should have been i destined for better things, who deserved a Great 1 Love, a woman capable of greatness. Yet one finds it difficult to discern how Hardy reached this conclusion. She has none of the noble im¬ pulses that, put into action, produce exceptional people. Indeed, the shallowness of her mind is shown when, after Yeobright has harmed his sight in a desperate effort to please her, she weeps despairing tears. But not in compassion for Yeobright, but rather because this misfor¬ tune ruins her idealistic dream of going to Paris. The only exceptional qualities Eustacia Vye seems to possess are an almost hypnotic physical appearance and a complete inability to adjust to her circumstances. Maybe Hardy thinks this rates a place for Eustacia in the Pantheon but I somehow admire Jane Austen’s good sense much more. She reduces Wickham and Lydia, who are different from Wildeve and Eustacia not in kind, but only in intensity, to their pro¬ per dimensions as a pair of rather silly, pathetic people. In these areas of comedy and romance, which are, after all, two very important parts of novel-writing, Jane Austen’s eye ranges more steady and true than Thomas Hardy’s. —M. Kostelnuk, 12-3 40 S’S £ 2nd Prize WAR OR PEACE AND THE INDIVIDUAL ■Tf someone asked us whether we consider our- gmves guilty of war we would surely answer: “But of course not”. We probably would argue tiat as we are neither politicians who determine policy, nor industrialists who produce war imple¬ ments, nor subscribers to any totalitarian doc¬ trine (political or otherwise ), nor members of any other group which might profit from war¬ fare, it is absurd to suggest any guilt on our part for wars of the recent past or the imme¬ diate future. ■ Although those “interest groups” do exist on both sides of the “Iron Curtain and have existed almost as far back as history has been recorded, they can only be accused of furthering and ex¬ ploiting an existing trend — not of creating this trend. I Just as the grouping of individuals was neces¬ sary to form nations so the ignorant or malad¬ justed minds of individuals are necessary for the leaders of nations to sow the seeds which will bring about the willingness of the mass of individuals (called a nation) to go to war. Those leaders do not have to be at the government level, nor does the nation have to be a totali¬ tarian state. Neither do the seeds have to be those of direct hatred, but can be and in most cases are the more subtle ones of nationalism and patriotism. | Who will not submit willingly to sacrificial servitude (for what else is war service?), who will not go to kill or be killed when the “inspira¬ tions of nationalism and patriotism” make him feel righteous about it? ] But — does he have any right to feel right¬ eous? Let us take a closer look at the meaning of nationalism and patriotism. The dictionary ' lescribes nationalism as “devotion to one’s own lation” (W.) and patriotism as “love and ad- niration for one’s own country.” (L.) Both ■xplanations make it clear that this devotion ind love is directed towards the group of which ;he one who directs these feelings is a member, thus he directs them towards his extended self. ■ Now let us reduce these feelings from the level of nations to the level of individuals. Among a ; number of similar words three stand out as most resembling both nationalism and patriotism. They are egoism, narcissism, and selflove. Not that the words themselves look identical -— no not at all — but if we turn again to the dic¬ tionary explanations and interchange to words “self” or “one’s own person” with “one’s own country” any one of those dictionary explana¬ tions would describe any of the five words. To show this more clearly let us list all five below —they will speak for themselves. NATIONALISM— “devotion to one’s own nation.” (W.) EGOISM— “a passionate love of self, selfishness.” (L.) PATRIOTISM— “love” and “admiration for one’s own country.” (L. W.) NARCISSISM— “a morbid love and admiration of self.” (L.) SELFLOVE— “love for one’s own person and happiness.” (L.) Comparing these dictionary explanations it is plain that the words are not only similar but almost identical. But do we not regard egoism, narcissism and selflove as undesirable charac¬ teristics in an individual? How then can we re¬ gard the very same characteristics as desirable and good in a nation (a group of individuals) ? This reflection on the guilt of the individual in the question of WAR or PEACE is not meant to expound a doctrine of absolute pacifism nor is it an attempt to force the writer’s opinions on the reader. It is meant to provoke — yes, to provoke the thoughts of those who at some time or other really read their yearbook. That we think about this question (and many others) is important for two major reasons: firstly, we ARE individuals and as such will have to do both, take our stand on the issues of life and suffer the consequences of the stand taken by the mass of individuals (be that just our nation or the people of the world at large) ; secondly, we are students and thus many of us will to¬ morrow be leaders of nations in one way or an¬ other, in that case we will carry the responsi¬ bility that the seeds we sow will not be weeds. As conclusion let us consider a thought-pro¬ voking and perhaps controversial quotation on the subject from an anonymous mystic. “Creed of Peace” (A Practical Approach) am guilty of war when I proudly exercise my intelligence to disadvantage of my fellow man. I am guilty of ivar when I distort others’ opin¬ ions which differ from my own. I am guilty of war when I show disregard for the rights and properties of others. I am guilty of war when I covet what another has honestly acquired, I am guilty of ivar when I seek to maintain my superiority of position, by depriving others of their opportunity of advancement. am guilty of war if I imagine my kin and my¬ self to be a privileged people. I am guilty of war if I believe a heritage entitles me to monopolize resources of nature. I am guilty of war when I believe other people must think and live as I do. 41 I am guilty of ivar when I make success in life solely dependent upon power, fame, and riches. I am guilty of war when I think the minds of people should be regulated by force, rather than by reason. I am guilty of war when I believe the God I con¬ ceive is the one others must accept. 7 am guilty of war when I think that a land of a man’s birth must necessarily be the place of his livelihood. —Anonymous —W.

Her hair’s got to be styled; make - up completely changed and her dress changed!” J: “Help! Help! Carolyne’s on in one minute. Pat! Help me get her dress off. Where in heav¬ en’s name are those dress snaps?” C; “Calm down, girls. We’ll get it all done on time.” G: “Fifteen seconds! Hand me the flashlight. Have to get her lipstick on. How can anyone possibly find anything behind these curtains?” J: “Pat! The snaps, the snaps! Why didn’t they invent good solid zippers in the sixteenth century?” C: (quite calm) “That’s my cue—got to go!” G: “But Carolyne!-Carolyne! Oh no; she forgot her shoes!” That was a scene from behind .the stage. As you see, reader, there was a complete contrast to the calm natural-looking actors in the lime¬ light of the “Ugly Duckling” presented this year by the Collegiate Drama Society in February. Ever heard of preparing a skit and putting on the performance two to three days later? Hail to the students who participated in the skit “Car Pool Capers” presented at the beginning of the year. It proved to be a hilarious success! The set was a school jalopy, and the members of the car pool were portrayed by Caroline Tab- erner, Sherry Godfrey, Susan Freedman, Susan Averback, Brenda Dennis, Irene Boehm, Pat Hamilton, Barb Hamwee, Nelson Rudelier, Ar¬ thur Donin, and Judy Maclver. The car stop¬ ping was shown by the occupants of the car leaning (?) forward and scenery was displayed by cards carried by girls across the stage; for example “hydrant” followed by “dog”. Each new member of the car pool was introduced with a suitable song. This, the audience loved especially since the songs were presented off- key. In February, the Collegiate Drama Society offered its next presentation. This time the “Ugly Duckling”, a comedy in Shakespearean style. The characters of the play were: Bob Bour- geault as King, Susan Freedman as Queen, Car¬ oline Taberner as princess, Ralph Westbrook as prince charming, Kathy Peterson as the maid, Nelson Rudelier as footman and Dave McLen¬ nan as the chancellor. The play was presented so well that it won first prize on Theatre Night. Much credit is due to the supervision of Miss Bennett and Miss Schroeder, whose hard work helped make these productions possible, and also to Nancy Creighton, the theatre chairman, for her assistance throughout the year. The success of this play indicates the interest in drama in Collegiate during 1959-60. —Judy Maclver RILEY ' S FISH le I jRiley was just a mediocre man. Nothing spe¬ cial. Just an ordinary man. He was not hand¬ some, but in the same way he was not ugly. He 2is not fat, but he was not thin. He was des- isRed to be a clerk all his life. He had lived a sheltered life. He was ashamed of nothing in his past, mainly because he had never done anything in his life of which he need be ashamed. In fact, the only fisherman, but true to his character, - he was not a good one. He had spent a small fortune on lures. With these he had some suc¬ cess. However, Riley, as all fishermen do, attri¬ buted his skill to his own ability. Riley had a girlfriend, Maria. She was eurva- cious, nice looking, well-groomed, but she was not very bright. Riley wanted to marry her but he could never bring himself to ask her. He had tried many times, and she, unable to see what he was trying to say, could not help him. In this manner their relationship continued for many months. Each Saturday evening Riley would finger the engagement ring in his pocket, take a deep breath, say two words, and then falter. I And this is Riley. As the story opens, Riley is on his way to tell Maria of his vacation which was starting that day. He planned to give the fish up north some exercise for a week. This idea did not appeal to Maria one bit. She could not appreciate the glory of fighting the catch of a lifetime on the other end of the line. In fact, she was dead set against it. Finally, after Riley had spent a good hour arguing with her. she finally agreed to allow him to go and fight the denizens of the deep at the edge of some stream in some far away north wood. I Three days later Riley was deep in a forest, beside a fast moving stream, setting up his tent. It was the old familiar tent which Riley had used so often. He was used to it. He could put it up in the dark. However, this time the tent would not co-operate. Riley noticed that the ientre pole was not straight up and down. He reached out to put it in place and found the folds of the tent around him. Again he put up the tent. Again the centre pole was crooked. Again the tent fell down. Finally the tent was put up. Riley regarded it with what he thought |was the eye of a woodsman. That night Riley ate be ans. He had brought the beans as a mere precaution for he knew that the fish were as good as caught when he arose in the morning. ■ On the first day, Riley cast in his line and started on his strategic plan for catching his breakfast. Things did not fare well. Not only jdid he not get a bite on his line, but the poor, unsuspecting fish were not even hungry enough to try to nibble a bit. Undaunted, Riley went to bed after dining on pork and beans, feeling that the next day would prove quite disastrous for his finny friends. But the next day did not go as he thought it should have; in fact, he did not catch anything that day either. Undaunted, he went to bed again that night thinking that the fish would be hungry the next day. He was soon to realize that it was not so at all. He threw away all his lures and resorted to worms. His luck changed. He got a nibble that day. On the fourth day he became panicky when he found that the fish had seemed to desert him. On the fifth day he remembered Maria’s con¬ cession and the fish that he owed her in return for her belief in him. When he could no longer stay in order to get back by Sunday morning to meet Maria at her boarding house at the time which she had specified, he loaded all his gear into his ancient coupe and drove furiously back to the city. On the way, he pondered the fact that he had no fish to prove his sincerity. Maria would not believe him when he told her that he had not caught anything. He had bragged too much of his ability as a fisherman. He had to have a fish. Where? Then it hit him — the fish market! He bent over the steering wheel in a frenzy to get back into the city. He arrived about six o’clock Saturday night. He pulled up to the fish store that he passed all the time on his way to work. Many times he had driven past it and laughed. He would feel sorry for those people who had to buy their fish. Now he was there and he was thankful for its existence. He leaped out of his coupe and up to the door. Too late! The owner was just locking up the shop. Riley hurried up to the man and implored him to re-open the shop for the sale of just one more fish. It was no use. The owner, a small person, exercised his only prerogative and remained steadfast in his right to keep his shop closed. Pushing a beaten Riley aside, the man walked past him and drove away in a prewar Ford. Riley just stood there watching the car drive away. What could he do? Break into the store? Was one fish worth all the trouble? Better still, was Maria worth all the danger entailed in this robbery? Riley firmly decided that she was not. With this final decision still in his mind, he walked around to the back of the store and pro¬ ceeded to jimmy open the door with a jack-knife. Once inside, he had no trouble finding what he wanted. A fish caught his eye and Riley pick¬ ed it up. A second one, thought Riley, just for insurance. The moment he put his hand on this second fish, he felt that something or someone was watching him. He straightened up and looked around. There in the doorway, his hands against the glass and looking in with wonder¬ ment, was a man in a derby hat. Immediately Riley panicked. He dropped the second fish and fled from the scene. He ran right into a small bush behind the store. Here he stopped for a moment to catch his breath. He had to get away. The man at the door would call the police. They would find his car—trace it to him. Trace him to his rooming house and would get a picture. This the owner of the store would identify and the search would be on. He couldn’t go back to work. He would have to run. What about Maria? He would ask her to marry him. They would run away together, arm in arm, to a distant city where he could start all Cautiously, with the fish clutched in his hand Riley wended his way to Maria’s rooming house Finally, after walking for hours, he walked up Maria’s front porch and rang the bell. It was late now, Maria could pack and they could get out of town. Riley rang the doorbell again. N one came. She must be asleep. He began pounding on the door. Finally, the door opened slightly. A face materialized in the gloom. It was Maria’s landlady. The tired oic woman looked at Riley in wonder. Yes, he knew it was late. Was Maria in? Well, where was she! The landlady didn’t know exactly. Somewhere in the country on her honeymoon. She had eloped with a travelling salesman three days ago. -Ron Bennet, 11- over again. i f 1 § 7 S ' | y J i ' BACK ROW: Betty McQuarrie, Gladys Finlay, Linda Butterfield.

The year opened with several girls’ bowling teams at the Mall Bowling Alley. The attendance varied each week, but the girls who attended enjoyed themselves. The next sporting event for Collegiate was mixed Volleyball. Each week the team played against a team from the United College University. We made the semi-finals and then slowly dropped behind. Each team played well and every player put forth his best effort. The boys were more interested than the girls. The Collegiate girls and boys had the opportunity to play on the University mixed teams of Curling and Bowling. The end of the seasons saw the girls swimming at the Y.W.C.A. during the University swim time. All who attended had fun. In all, this was a most eventful year and all the girls showed full co-operation. I would like to thank all the girls that helped make this sports season so enjoyable, and to my sports captains without whose help this could not have been possible.

ATHLETICS The boys’ basketball team again entered the Senior “B” Basketball League, but did not show too well because they lacked experience and depth. In spite of this drawback, they played improved ball against St. Paul’s and Ravenscourt for the City Private School’s Championship, before finally losing to St. Paul’s in a bitterly fought final. This league has brilliant possibilities in the future for United. Inter-room hockey continued again this year at the Olympic Rink. This sport aroused more interest within the student body than any of the others. The teachers devoted their time to refereeing, supervising, or participating in the games. To decide the winner, we had a knock-out tournament. When the vigorous action had ceased, 12-3 emerged the victors. During the league schedule, the Collegiate formed an All-Star Team which played against the mighty University team. The Collegiate lost a highly contested game. Curling was carried on throughout the season at the Eaton’s and Strathcona Rinks. A monstrous curling Bonspiel was held at the Granite Curling Club in which all students took an active part. The bonspiel was won by Butch Crabtree and team. It was a tremendous success and was enjoyed by all. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all sports representatives and any others who devoted their time to help organize the athletic program this year.

Still Your Best Buy As we all know only too well, a nickel does not go very far in the present day and age, but consider what 5 cents worth of electricity will do: in the aver¬ age Winnipeg home it will run a TV set for 22 hours, a refrigerator for 35 hours of actual operation, toast 300 slices of bread, do 20 washes in an automatic machine, operate an electric fan or a radio for about 70 hours. Yes, electricity is such a bargain that Winnipeg homes use an average of over 7,700 kilowatt hours each year, or approximately twice the national aver¬ age. And no wonder, for they pay an average of only .754 cents per kilowatt hour, one of the lowest rates anywhere in the world. I COMPLIMENTS OF R.

I want first of all to thank my fellow students for this honour they have bestowed upon me. Had I broken both legs, failed all my exams or had been sold into slavery, this past year would still be an un¬ qualified success by virtue of having the opportunity to meet and be friends with all of you. On behalf of my fellow students, 1 want to thank the members of the Faculty for their unfailing ap¬ plication to duty, their understanding and their friend¬ ship. No amount of coercion could convince me that there is a more excellent Faculty or a better school in the city, and if that isn’t school spirit, what is? Tonight marks the culmination of eleven years of schooling for the Junior Matriculation candidates from United College. The June exams will mark the turning point in many a career. Some of you will end your formal education this year. Others, and I hope this includes the majority, will pick up the books again next year and go onto complete their education. Re¬ gardless of your plans, your future is a weighty re¬ sponsibility and it lies on your shoulders alone. Aristotle is credited with saying that “The future of empires depends on the education of its youth.” This is my favourite maxim. My twisted mind has a pet habit of applying this adage to any and all the problems I may consider. For instance, world tension. If it were not complete¬ ly eliminated, it would be considerably lessened were the majority of the world ' s population well educated. This would, of course, mean the establishment of many schools in areas where they are unknown today. It would also mean the re-education of many millions of mis-educated men and women throughout the world. In some states and empires, men and women are educated in such a way that they become non¬ thinking, bonded slaves to a political ideology. In other countries, the state of education is such that college graduates go out into their country to join their fel¬ low citizens in a money-mad “rat race” balanced only by the grandest entertainment binge the world has ever seen. Perhaps things are not as universally bad as I have painted them. 1 may have called a spade a “black spade.” But the situation known as world ten¬ sion exists and I am sure that were the world made up of only well-educated, free thinking individuals united by a love of knowledge, it would soon disap¬ pear. Racial prejudice is not known among pre-school age children. But if these impressionable children are mis-educated they become segregationists and other forms of alienists. World disarmament is another current problem. Were the citizens of the world properly educated in the first place, they may never have armed. So you see how this axiom of Aristotle’s can be modified to answer many problems. But there is a variation of the rule which I heartily dislike. It per¬ tains to those of you who, for one reason or another, will not be going on to further your education. It will also apply to all of us when we have completed our education. It is not, strictly speaking, a variation of the maxim, but rather a conclusion drawn from it. It is the oft-heard cliche “The future of the world is in your hands, students.” The fault in this statement lies in its simplicity. It can be taken to mean that the world and the future of the world can be handed to you upon graduation. J. G. Holland said that “God gives every bird its food but he does not throw it into the nest.” The future of Canada is in your hands, but only if you grab it and hold on to it with a firm and well-protect fist. Calvin Coolidge once said that “few men are lacking in capacity, but they fail because they are lacking in application. Very few Canadian students lack the capacity for success, but how many will fail through lack of application. “The future of empires depends on the education of its youth.” The future of Canada depends upon the education that most of you will continue to seek. But do not assume an attitude of come to me education, come to me future, come to me success. Go out and grab it.
