University of Victoria - Tower Yearbook (Victoria, British Columbia Canada)

f IOAN HUTCHISON TOM MATHESON LAWRENCE BATES This year the staff of the Tower has made no effort to refute that very important maxim that all yearbooks are made, not during the year, but during the last week before publica- tion, a week which is usually heavily circled on every student's calendar for various other dead- lines such as mid-term and essays. This is not an apology for the Yearbook, but a word of tribute to those who held up so well under the strain. With Editor Tom Matheson as a somewhat fatalistic helmsman, the crew made its way through all the irksome danger spots which have always lain in waiting for each year's new and unsuspecting staff. Assistant Editor Ioan Hutchi- son and Feature Writer Ioan Gonnason did their utmost to forge the Yearbook into something pleasantly readable. Gonnason still found time to win a prize for oratory and become next year's W.U.S. leader. As art editor, Io Spicer, another DAPHNE STUART IO SPICER student active in other fields, did a remarkable job considering that the Yearbook was nameless untill the last minute. Photography Editor Daph- ne Stuart and assistant Marion Chapman coped with the equally uncertain tas'k of arranging student photographs. Last - but most praise- worthy-Lawrence Bates and his assistants, Ed- ward Estlin and Douglas Main, handled the business management with a professional-like efficiency which assured the success of the Year- book and made working with them a distinct pleasure. To the other students who have contributed, the editor wishes to express his gratitude. It was their co-operation which made the 'Tower truly representative. Most outstanding of these reporters were Iirn McKellar and Maud Wal- lace, sports writers who were both eminent in the fields they covered. l IOAN GONNASON MARION CHAPMAN

if Fig gf - RAY BAINES, GROUP tl.eft to Right! IIM PATTERSON, FRED MOONEN, BOB DONALDSON. I In keeping with other evolutionary changes which have altered the face of Victoria College this year, the Microscope adopted a new format. This is the first time for many years that the paper has been issued in printed form, having been presented in the past as a bulletin which was pinned on the wall. Though there is still room for improvement, particularly in the number of issues, it is felt that presentation of a printed paper is in itself an indication of the growing up of Victoria College. With Ray Baines editing the paper, Fred Moonen handled the sports and Bob Donaldson and Iim Patterson took care of the features and news. Sheila Gallaher kept the students informed on the social activities and campus couples, which are an important part of this and every college's life. Lewis Baines and Io Spicer livened the pages from time to time with their cartoons, Bill Doe and Ken Smith did the shuttering. Lawrence Bates is to be commended for the wonderful job he did with the advertising during the first months, a job which was continued ably by Doug Main, Mary Gill and Marion Griffin after Bates went over to the Annual staff. Mainly owing to attempts to secure stories on time, and trouble with engravers and .print- ers, the progress of the paper was not without many headaches. At times, too, there was criticism of its sobriety but, in view of the fact that we are not a high school, it was felt that a little more mature style was entirely in keeping with a college level. As a tip to future editors, it might be sug- gested that a larger staff be formed from the beginning of the year, and if it can obtain the right amount of co-operation from the students, there is no reason why the output should not be doubled.
