A TYPICAL AFTERNOON session of the year- book. The whole group works like a clock; every- body does his individual job and when everybody is finished, we have a book of which we are proud. THE 1956 COLLEGIAN ACQUIRES A NEW FACE This year the Collegian” takes the size and form of LIFE magazine, plus a Koda- chrome cover of the gymnasium. Each student was given a section, being personally responsible for the captions and headlines within it. With modern and extensive equipment, the photography staff under the leader- ship of Wilson Markle, kept the supply of pictures consistently up to demand. The activities, sports, and business staffs com- bined with all other individual sections put all their efforts into a masterful coup. The editor, Carl Brandes and moderator, Br. Hickey advised and handled the staff to mold the book into one we can be proud of. CONSCIENTIOUSLY and intelligently, Thomas Moon draws up his layout for The Collegian. THE PROBLEMS of getting the yearbook to press in time are discussed with the pressman Mr. Moe McMichael and Student Editor Carl Brandes. MAKING UP the Religion write-up, Edward Donovan grows eloquent with the typewriter. 14

THE ACTIVITIES A QUEST OF DEVELOPMENT FOR STUDENTS IN THE ARTS The time is 2:29 p.m. The hallways of Vancouver College are deserted; from the classrooms comes the murmur of voices, the scratch of chalk and the rustle of paper. Sud- denly our thoughts are disturbed by the clanging of the bell; quickly the doors open and the students pour out filling the hallway with the sound of voices. Activities have begun. In activities the student gets a chance to express himself. In art or drama, glee club or journalism we are doing something we like, something that will give students more than one interest, make them well rounded, so to speak. Let’s follow the students to their different activities: In art the students are doing copper-tooling and leatherwork. They are carefully trying designs and shapes. In drama the students are learning how to project themselves across a stage, to be confident of themselves. In Glee Club we hear the voices of the boys raised in harmony until someone’s cracks. Next we run across the band where only a multitude of sound can be heard; it seems everyone is practising a different song. Our last stop is journalism — here the editors run around trying to meet their deadlines; writers are frantically trying to get ideas; proofreaders are throwing write-ups away; in general everyone seems a little nuts. We have fun in our activities we can relax while doing any work involved. Our minds are distracted from our school- work — which is the goal of the activity period at College.
