10 “Master, teach us to pray . . From the arrival in Vancouver in 1922 of four Christian Brothers of Ireland, headed by Brother Michael J. Lannon to the present-day renovation accomplishments lead by Brother Michal A. Maher, Vancouver College has been blessed with responsible principals dedicated to the development of men. Brother Lannon, principal for the first eleven years of College developed a concern for the spiritual, the academic, the cultural and the athletic which has characterized the school ever since. He personally produced the Bard’s plays for audiences at the old Orpheum Theatre. In 1928 Brother P.B Doyle succeeded Brother Lannon as principal, but Brother Lannon was back from 1930 to 1933. Brother C.C. Sterling had the task of being principal during the majority of the thirties, then turned over the school to his successor Brother E.B. Walsh, in 1939. Brother Walsh served V.C. for 28 years as an administrator and teacher. He began collecting funds for a gymnasium, a facility that had been dreamed of since V.C. ' s conception. Br. M.D. Cunningham succeeded him. During his term, in 1946, the top floors of Mc- Cormack Hall and the original wing caught on fire and was thus rebuilt. College continued to grow during the prin- cipalship of Brother W.C. Penny (1948-1954) as the long-delayed gymnasium was built along with tennis courts in front. Brother J.C. Bates became principal in 1954. With the aid of Henry J. Jackin, the east wing of the school, Mackin Hall was built. A black top play area and drain tiles beneath the College field also upgraded the institution. Brother F.R. Finch (1960-1966) added extra locker and shower facilities above the en- trance of the gym and Nichol Hall was opened in 1964. Brother J.B. Clarkson served as principal from 1966 through till 1968 and Brother H.L. Bucher succeeded him. Brother Bucher carried out extensive interior renovations including a resource centre for the elementary and an expanded library for secondary students. Brother J.C. Bates

returned for his second term then our present-day principal, Brother M.A. Maher followed him. We attribute the long-awaited new Brothers ' Residence and track to him. We sincerely wish to express our thanks and gratitude to all these men before and men to come.
