GORDON MCORMOND History and Sociology English Everyone is feeling bereaved over the thought of MR. PETIT'S leaving. Life with him has been truly wonderful. The I.R.C. will feel the loss, too. Dynamic Zeus of the Players' Club, MR. BISHOP has resuscitated many English classes with renditions of Restoration drama-now a campus legend. MR. HICKMAN'S quiet humour is well known to every student qui parle francais. He's done an extra job in sponsoring the Music Appreciation Club. MR. AITCHISON, newly arrived on the faculty, has already endeared himself to all who take Economics, for his lectures, we hear, are well-spiced with subtle humour. Out of the Navy and right into action was evidently MR. POIS- SON'S theory. This year he has made quite an impression. not only in English lectures, but by supporting soccer, the sk trip and helping with the Literary Arts. Another addition to the faculty is MR. MCORMOND, whose personality has already won him many friends, especially amongst the first year students. From an extremely varied and interesting life, MR. STRODYK stepped into Vic. College this year to teach German. All agree that he is a valuable addition to the faculty . MR. AUGUST STRODYK German MR. W. HARRY HICKMAN French and German 8

was i-mmf TERRY AND THE PIRATES Z' . This has been one of the most eventful years in the history of Victoria College. The record enrollment, the crowded conditions at Craig- darroch, the move and, finally, readiustment at the present building have all made organization of student activities difficult. In the face of all these problems the Students' Council has en- deavoured to make some innovations as well as to carry out the traditions of former years. The Executive, President Terry Garner, Sec- retary Margaret Wright, and Treasurer George Cumming worked hard to arrange activities at the beginning of the year. Students were intro- duced to College life through the first printed edition of the Microscope. Freshettes were welcomed at a tea held before lectures began: all Frosh were entertained at a dance held at The Sirocco in their honour. Dorothy Cross, director of the Literary and Scientific Department, organized the clubs so that they could function as soon as possible. The executive worked with the faculty on the Parents' Reception and the Prize Giving ceremony. All these early efforts were hampered by the crowded conditions at Craigdarroch: mem- bers of the Council worked on the campaign to obtain better quarters. The success of this cam- paign and the subsequent move to the present WM- Z Wm building was due to this student leadership and the co-operation of the student body. Once established the Council continued to direct stu- dent affairs. The Students' Council is so arranged that each member has charge of some particular activity. This year the members have carried out their duties so that all aspects of College life were well looked after. Terry Gamer ful- filled his position as chairman of all meetings by co-ordinating activities and initiating Council policy: Margaret Wright looked after the cor- respondence and general business connected with the carrying out of this policy: George Cumming arranged the financing of College business, a difficult task this year because of the increased demands on the treasurer. Dor- othy Cross kept the clubs functioning throughout the year. Social functions were under the direction of the first year representatives, Margaret Creasey and Victor Hay. They made arrangements for all the major dances, the Harvest Dance, the traditional Hard Times Dance, the Christmas formal and the Awards Banquet and Dance. The proceeds from a mixer were used to buy a ping- pong table for the cafeteria. Another major social event, the Co-Ed Dance, was sponsored' 1
