COLLEGIAN COLLEGIAN JUNE, 1956 WHAT WAS THE YEAR LIKE ? What were the important happenings around the world from September, 1955, to June, 1956? These facts were recorded in hundreds of publications, but still the average person forgets much as time goes on. The events of the school are recorded in this annual, but what of the events of the world? Why not record outside news, too? Because it has so greatly affected us, here is the year in a nutshell, for posterity and memories. The most impressive headlines came from the U.S. as the Republican President, Dwight E. Eisenhower, was afflicted with a heart attack. The alarming event brought chaos to the world’s business and politics. All across the world important historic events took place. In Britain Princess Margaret put the throne before her love and ended the romance with Captain Peter Townsend. The overthrow of President Peron and the Morocco crisis plus the resignation of Georgi Malenkov to allow Nikita Kruschev to take over as dictator in Communist Russia all put deep marks on the world. Other happenings, though, had more direct bearings on us. Floods and storms devastated the East. The A.F.L. 8i C.I.O. trade unions agreed to merge. The U.S. is to build a satellite and, a new ruling on segregation. The U.N. ad- mitted 16 new members in the affiliation. At home in Canada, Salk vaccine was distributed for the first time and the Atoms- for-Peace program was extended. A disturbing strike of over 100 days, longest in Canadian history, ended by the G.M. workers at Oshawa. Some noted figures in North America passed away. They were Albert Einstein, noted scientist; Cordell Hull, former American Secretary of State; and James Dean, cinemactor. The motion picture academy award winners for ’55 were Ernest Borgnine and Anna Magnani. Top pictures were Marty, Love Is A Many Splendored Thing, Mr. Roberts, The i Rose Tattoo and Picnic. TV’s “Emmy” awards went to Phil Silvers on his showY ou’ll Never Get Rich; Nannette Fabray and Perry Como also carried home some loot. Other shows deserving attention were Peter Pan, I Love Lucy, The $64,000 Question, Ed Sullivan Show, Disneyland and Lassie. Some top tunes were The Rallad of Davy Crockett, Love Is A Many Splendored Thing, Lullaby of Rirdland, Melody of Love, Shifting Whispering Sands, Elite Suede Shoes, See You Later, Alligator, and Poor People of Paris. This year in sports the main items were: Edmonton Eski- mos defeated the Eastern team, Montreal Alouettes, to take the Grey Cup a second year. The Lions failed to roar twice in succession, but with Annis Stukus out as coach and Clem Crowe in, things looked promising. The Dodgers beat the Yanks in the final game of the series to take the pennant for the first time in World Series history. At home, the shift of the Oakland franchise to Vancouver gave birth to the “Mounties” in the P.C. League. Fight fans, who saw the Marciano-Moore fight in movie theatres by the pay-as-vou- see system, produced the second largest “gate.” That was 1956, your year at College; let it live forever.

We answer that a Catholic school trains the whole man spirit, mind, and body. Since the Alumni Gymnasium was erected in 1950, it has pro- ven to be one of the busiest buildings on the campus. During the day it echoes with the shouts of grade school recess. Lunch periods find it crowded. Intramural sports take it over in the early afternoon, followed by varsity. Boarders use it each evening until the lights out. The following list gives the name of the photographer for each picture in this book. All pictures, unless otherwise credited, are by Wilson Markle.
