Very Reverend Msgr. M. T. NICHOL, V.G. Pastor, Sts. Peter and Paul Two priests cater to the spiritual needs of V.C. students. Each first Thursday of the school year, Msgr. Nichol and Father Reiter spend an entire school day in the small confessionals administering the Sacrament of Penance to hundreds of youthful penitents. Boarders’ Con- fessions are heard each week and Holy Mass is offered each Saturday in the College Chapel. Both priests take a kindly interest in all the school ' s activities, preside at all the major func- tions, and are ardent supporters of the school’s athletic teams. Add to this the many duties they have to perform for both the Parish and the Diocese they serve and one must conclude that the College is fortunate indeed to have them as Chaplains. Msgr. Nichol has been pastor of Sts. Peter and Paul for the past fourteen years. Father Reiter joined him as assistant two years ago. We pray that they will remain with us for many years to come. ev - r nm J0SePH As sist Qnt REit R 7

Early last October, Vancouver’s Catholics celebrated a double jubilee. Some forty Archbishops and Bishops, a host of clergy, and thousands of British Columbians gathered to witness the joint celebration of the Golden Jubilee of Holy Rosary Cathedral and the Silver Anniversary of the Consecration of our beloved Archbishop. The week’s festiv- ities gave people an ample opportunity to reflect on the monumental work accomplished by the Archbishop during the past quarter-century. They listened to words of praise addressed by His Eminence, James Cardinal McGuigan, and other dignitaries from Canada and the U.S. And, beneath all the splendour, they saw and prayed for this man of God — a Christ-like shepherd — who had given so unselfishly for his flock. We pray that God will spare him for many more years to serve as a shining light leading us to “the Way, the Truth, and the Light.” His Excellency, Most Reverend WILLIAM MARK DUKE Archbishop of Vancouver HIS EXCELLENCY arrives at Capilano Sta- dium for Annual Rosary Rally.

Many factors go into the education of a Catholic young man as do ingredients into the baking of a cake. These elements include everything from shortening to seasoning. The faculty, the study, the fellow students, the activities, the sports program and the free time are all mixed in the proper proportions until they give the desired result — a fine, clean-cut, active Catholic youth. When the period of formation is over, the Senior steps forward. He is not just another high school graduate, for his training marks him as a product of the finest religious training in the world. He bears the proud title — the “Typical Vancouver College Man.” Contents Faculty One part Irish Christian Brother and one part layman to impart knowledge and administer discipline. Grammar School Eight parts Elementary School to provide an adequate foundation for higher studies. Underclassmen Three parts undergraduates — Freshmen, Soph- omore, and Junior — to temper and season students.
