ALSO SERVE TO DO AND TO TEACH 1. Mr. Gordon Olson has been associated with our school for over twenty-seven years. This year he became an official staff member. We saw the school band, which enhanced the liturgies this year, flourish under his direction. 2. Mrs. Pat Sadler has been with the accounts department for the past five years. Her warm smile and personable approach to people make Pat much more than just personnel; she is more a friend to those who visit the treasurer’s office. 3. Brother Nolan has been with the Brothers for twenty-one years. Six of them have been at College. A truly active and involved person; he heads the English Department, is moderator of the Student Council and Leadership Conference and is Superior of the Brothers in residence at College. 4. Mrs. Sendall has played an important part at College for the past eighteen years. She worked here as a volunteer for many years before becoming the Elementary Librarian. She has held this position for ten years. We could not possibly list Nora’s full duties but she somehow finds time to organize a library, be a resource person and substitute for other teachers when called upon. 5. “Find Br. Gerard!” This cry for help goes out daily from all corners of the school. Br. Gerard calmly and patiently heads to the disaster area to repair whatever has broken down. Br. Gerard’s technical abilities are outweighed only by his resilient and youthful approach to life which make him a favorite of staff and student alike. 6. Grace Macdonald has played a major role in the cultural achievements of Vancouver College for the past eight years. Her talents as choreographer have placed our musicals among the best high school productions in British Columbia.

TO THOSE WHO ALWAYS FAITHFUL We need not look far for those who display the qualities of greatness: humility, kindness, patience and other centeredness; in short, a willingness to serve. Mother Teresa of Calcutta sums it up beautifully when she says, “We must not count the costs.” In every segment of society we have people who work tirelessly, behind the scenes and never “count the costs”, but the evidence of their work is obvious. Numerous jobs mysteriously find their way to completion. Our lives are made easier because of the endless uncomplaining efforts of these people. We have many people whose marvelous spirit of generosity makes our every job much easier to perform. From the midst of the many, we have the ominous task of choosing but a few. These six people exemplify the spirit of those who serve our community so well: Br. Gerard, Mrs. Sadler, Br. Nolan, Mrs. Sendall, Mr. Olson and Grace Macdonald. The accumulative efforts of these people span almost a century. This is quite an indication of dedication and service to Vancouver College. To such people “Semper Fidelis” is more than an inscription; it is a way of life. We thank you and we appreciate you. You are indeed persons of service to us all. 6 ' ‘:!
