The theme of the discussion was the Book of Revelation, with Reverend Bewell, father of our High Priest, as guest speaker. In October, S L Philip Ross, Chaplain P. R.C.A.F., spoke to the Theology Society concerning the I960 General Council of the United Church of Canada. Later in the month, we were addressed by Dr. David Summers of the Religion and Labor Committee, who provid¬ ed some insight into the role of the Christian Church in the problems of labor-management relations. In November, Cliff Deeton and Fred Mar¬ kowsky presented papers on the Christology of Mark and Paul. At another meeting Mike Quigg- in, Senior Stick, spoke to the theologues con¬ cerning student council relations, and the func¬ tion of Theology in the college life. Stunt Nite followed soon after and the less said, the better. A party in New Tony’s on the evening of December 16th terminated our first term activit¬ ies. Bud Bewell and Hugo Unruh represented our society at the S.C.M. conference in Montreal during the Christmas holidays. Communica¬ tion” was the theme of this year’s conference. The main concern of second term activities was the arrangement of visitations to four Man¬ itoba presbyteries by four teams of theologues. This visitation was aimed at acquainting indiv¬ iduals in these presbyteries with the needs of the church in regard to the insufficient number of ministers. We hope and pray that our work will bear fruit. 25

It did, however, take a leading part in the affairs of the College at large. Fourth Year members of the UCSC were instrumental in the taking of an important progressive step towards the solution of the perennial UMSU - United College problem. The much needed revision of the Awards system also was directed by members of the class of ’61. For the first time in years, a float from United College won first prize in the Freshie Parade. The credit for this goes to Ernie Hasiuk. Our Senior Stick demonstrated his versatility as M.C. of the UMSU Winter Carnival Sno-Ball. Jim Ryan and Heather Sigurdson had major parts in the UMSU Glee Club production of Plain and Fancy.” And at Stunt Nite our effort took third place. Fourth Year made a considerable contribu¬ tion to the more intellectual activities of the College. There was a large fourth year repres¬ entation at the Macalester Conference, and our year sent three of the five U.C. members to the NFCUS Commonwealth Conference. In debating we had the distinction of never defaulting a debate even if we had to be satisfied with third place. The first social event held by the year was a very successful corn roast - without corn(?) - in early October. We wound up first term with a party in Tony’s. However, the peak of homo¬ geneity was reached on G-Day. Despite the fact that we redeemed the tradition of Gown Day” somewhat against our natural inclination, fourth year ingenuity showed itself in small ways, to wit Jago’s wagon” and an intriguing diversion at the Blood Pep Rally. At a party that evening, amazing and hitherto untapped talent was unearthed. Who will forget Wild Bill Hiccup?” Grads’ Farewell, which we attended with hopes that we trust were not in vain, was the finale before the beginning of the grind. Class valedictorian was Paul Fraser. The two offi¬ cial house parties held after the dinner and dance proved to be a lively and successful innovation. We relinquish, then, the trophies and other trivia to our avid emulators and delegate our authority to those who will inevitably and irrevocably follow. 24
