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.

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.

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
