DEDICATED to Rev. Br. W. C. Penny- Provincial of the North American Province of the Christian Brothers of Ireland and former Principal of Vancouver College. In September of this school year, Brother Penny was appointed Provincial of the North American Province of the Christian Brothers of Ireland. Shortly after his appointment, he made a social call to the College to renew old friend- ships and to talk to the senior class. Those who had not yet met Brother Penny were cap- tivated by his forthright humour and impressed with his sincere devotion to the teaching voca- tion. His six years as principal of the College, from 1948 to 1954, were marked by many ad- ditions and improvements on the campus. He completed the gymnasium and added the tennis courts at the front on the building. Under his direction the entire school was renovated and grades one and two were opened. But even more important, Brother Penny left behind many lasting friendships among the staff and stu- dents. It is the sincere prayer of the students of Vancouver College that Brother Penny will meet as much success in his future work as in the past, and with this hope we respectfully dedi- cate the 1961 Collegian to him. Brother Penny, on a visit to us this year, talks over old times with two of his former students. Brother Penny gives a man to man talk to this year ' s seniors.
