Spirit: the everlasting source of energy. This decade has been marked by a cry, throughout the world, of an insufficient supply of energy. We have seen both extremes: the hoarding of natural resources, and the inability to utilize them. At College, we have never suffered from an energy crisis. Outstanding support remains the conspicuous feature of V.C. student spirit. Without overlooking all those successfully held pep rallies, our spirit was often emphasized through the students’ overwhelming enthusiasm in the activities around the school. Their remarkable eagerness to attend games, cheering to encourage the team and participation in the walkathon, musical, and any number of other events, displays a sense of unequalled devotion to the school. The College pennant looms high to display its ever-present source of energy. 1. Before the Archbishop Trophy playoff against N.D., Coach Kelly commented that his football team needs some more tremendous support. 2. “We’ve got spirit, how ' bout you ?” 3. The fact that over 800 inspirational students par- ticipated is one element of a successful walkathon. 4. Here, Doug Oddy demonstrates that the Grade One’s also have the helping spirit. 5. The College lettermen, Gary Sanvido and Joe Mackinnon, coloured their faces with war paint for MORE energy in this basketball pep rally. 20

Tomorrow’s leaders prepare their tactics. Vancouver College played host to over one hundred students from twenty schools who came here to participate in the 7th Annual International Student Leadership Conference held on November 24-25. Conference co-chairmen Mark Hagemoen and Paul Borchert, under the guidance of moderator Br. Paul Nolan had worked hard since September in setting up and organizing the conference. The conference was such a success that the idea was applied on a local level. Some of the students who were involved in the International Conference set up a Leadership Conference format which was put forth to the grade ten students for a day. The input and enthusiasm of the students was encouraging for future plans. The conference puts its main emphasis on student leadership and interaction within both school and society. Leadership is stressed through the five objectives of the I.S.L.I. — support, awareness, self-confidence, positive thinking and values. 1. Br. Maher and Mark Hagemoen sort out the calendar of events. 2. Eager Beaver Gofers. 3. Matt Lakowski ‘questions’ the outcome of this poster. 4. Relaxation is one element of success. 5. Michele Paris, Paul Gatto, and Kevin Ridley discuss the day’s events. 6. Discussion groups fell into fascinating debates. 7. Br. Nolan administered the Holy Blood. 8. Fr. Leahy revealed some of the elements of leadership.
