CAUGHT IN THE act while setting up a centre page dummy is Ron McKinnon who oc- casional likes to get away from the same old routine of reporting the campus news storys. TWO OF THE TOP BRASS of our news mag- azine, Mickey Sanders and Mike McLean, ponder deliberately over the news content of last issue. COLLEGE CLARION CONTINUES TO MAKE BIG HIT WITH STUDENTS THE CLARION’S journalists have a long and creditable record to mull over as the scholastic year 1955-56 comes to an end. Much of this was accomplished by the perseverance of three men; Bob Mc- Ginnis, editor-in-chief; Mike McLean, associate editor and Br. Cobb, moderator. The Clarion was published six times this year, the layout being changed slightly after a few editions. The humor page entitled From The Editors Desk,” written by Bob McGinnis, and the exciting ad- dition of the Sportscope,” were firsts” for the Clarion. Once a week, a guest speaker from the Vancouver Sun lectured the staff on Journalism. These lectures proved not only interesting but also gave the course a credit rating. Editorally, the Clarion was a militant crusader for student res- ponsibility and the efforts of the staff resulted in a paper that is mature, readable, and Catholic. All oustanding pictures taken for the Clarion were the accomplish- ment of the Camera Club, photographic unit of Vancouver College. Wilson Markle, picture editor, heads the activities of this small group. He is ably assisted by Don Foran, Bob Komm and Don McConachie. NOW HOW WAS THE LAST GAME WON?” Rory Leith, sports editor of the Clarion, reflects morosely on the advisability of keeping regular records. He raids the score book every month for extra info,” But inspirations will come along soon and then he’ll knock out” his regular column the Sportscope.” 17 -40

LIBRARY H I i ■ . 9 C l THE FOLLOWING are members of the Fraternity of Literature Lovers” D. Lovic, K. Claridge, K. Levant, D Fry, (at table) M. Allard, P. Steckler, of Vancouver College: (at back) Br. Hunt, G. Shell, W. Sims, A. Labere, D. Maxwell, H. McKinnel, K. Bell, R. Burton. THE MODERATOR, Br. Hunt, who has rounded the members into a competent regiment of librarians advises A. Labere on the filing of books. IN ONE of their few spare moments, A. Labere and M. Smith browse eagerly through an endless book of words to increase their vocabulary. KEEPERS OF THE BOOKS Much time, sweat, and toil has been given to build up our library from a small poorly equipped reading room to an efficient 2000 book organization. Br. Hunt and the Library Club, which is com- posed of 25 students, have spent many an hour keeping index cards up to date, lending out books, and make sure of their return. They made books available to all conscientious students in need of reference or reading pleasure. They keep an occupational reference file for those students not yet certain of a vocation. The executive branch of the Library Club was handled very well by: Doug Belle-President, and Kerry Levant-Vice President. WORKING PAINFULLY on one of the many trophies which adorn the library, G. Shell and K. Levant use spit-and-polish to keep the place tip-top. 18
