PUBLISHED BY THE STUDENTS OF VANCOUVER COLLEGE This is the story of Vancouver College. A small school, as schools go today, but one with a heart and a purpose. A school with its sleeves rolled up, seek- ing to supply the answers for over 600 questioning boys; quietly going about its task of furnishing its students with the tools of living and a philosophy of life. It is a Gramfnar School and a High School, a Boarding School and a Day School. Some students live thousands of miles away; others live across the street. Some come to school in their own cars; others come clutching their mother’s hand. Most live in Vancouver and arrive by bus, tram or bike. It occupies a generous section of land just off Granville St., a few minutes from the heart of Canada’s third largest city. Vancouver, B. C. VOLUME IV It is conducted by the Christian Brothers of Ireland, a group of men who 1954 have devoted their lives to the instruc- tion of youth. It is Vancouver College.

Vancouver College is 32 years old this year. While this hardly constitutes an occasion, it was thought that now that the second generation is well represented in the school, we might brush aside the ivy from the cornerstones and reminisce a bit. Th e College was founded in 1922. For three years the school was located at 650 Richards St., just behind Holy Rosary Cathedral. In 1925, the present site was purchased and the Residence and centre building were constructed. It was virtually a “Country” school then. Sts. Peter and Paul Church, the Fire Hall, and a few homes dotted the other- wise wooded neighbourhood. Students arrived by the tram which split gravel-covered Granville St. in half. Some claim it wasn’t hard to bag a pheasant in the woods just across Hudson St. where the Mounties used to come to exercise their horses.
