KILTY, RIP. Father John Kilty has had a long association with Vancouver College especially during his 30 years as pastor of Holy Trinity Parish in North Vancouver. As a pastor he encouraged students from his parish school to come to the College and as a basketball coach his teams often competed with College in the C.Y.A. league. In 1982 he was named Pastor of Sts.Peter and Paul following Msgr. Nichol’s reitrement. During his first year as pastor, he was the chief celebrant at the Mass of the Holy Spirit in September and at the pre-Christmas Mass. He also coached one of the grade nine basketball teams. However, early in May he discovered that he had terminal cancer. He died about a month later on June 12, 1983. With his death, Vancouver College lost a good priest, a loyal supporter and a true friend. R I P. S I r « BROTHER GERARD Brother Gerard Van de Ven of the Brothers of Our Lady of Lourdes came to College first in 1956 shortly after he had come to Canada from Holland. After spending most of the 1956-57 school year at V.C., he worked for a number of years at the Lourdes Brothers Farm near Lethbridge, Alberta. After that he taught French at St. Mary ' s school in Taber, Alberta for many years. Eventually he returned to V.C. after a sabbatical year in Edmonton during which he studied crafts and mechanical arts. On his return to College in 1974 he taught Industrial Education and Religion. In June 1983, he retired from the classroom. He is still the general handiman around the Brother’s Residence and the school, and keeps V.C.’s antiquated heating system in operation. Many thanks for your years of service to Vancouver College and the Collegian staff wishes you Ad Multos Annos! 4 Vancouver College is a Catholic school and has been run by the Christian Brothers, assisted by dedicated lay staft, for the past sixty-two years. It was founded to educate young men to Christianity by incorporating the spiritual, academic, athletic, and social extra-curricular aspects of the student’s life. The Christian dimension must pervade all our actions and studies, attempting to carry us to the meaning of our lives. To pay attention to only one aspect of school life and to ignore another is to fail in our attempts to educate the whole man. Why? Because we will not be true to our vision of life which sees Jesus Christ as the incomparable source of meaningfor human life. This yearbook is an effort to capture the total spirit of Vancouver College. The pictures accent specific events and people and, therefore, cannot create the “Fighting Irish” community. However, we who are involved in forming this community will remember and be refreshed by recalling the spirit of care, commitment and concern which gives life to the photographic “bones”. Congratulations and best wishes to the staff, students and parents memorialized by this annual. May we all continue to strive for the human excellence taught and lived by Jesus Christ. Bro. P.P.

Before taking their final step they have decided to revert, one last time, to their days in grade one with Mrs. Carmack.

THE GREATEST BUCCANEER ALIVE This is the tale of a pirate brave, Gallant, strong and free, His shirt as red as poppies, And black pants to his knee. A cutlass hanging at his thigh, A musket in his hand, He was the fear of merchant ships That sailed from England. It was one day that this pirate brave, Was sailing ’pon the seas, When lo. to the port a merchant ship, Was sailing brisk and free, This pirate brave informed his crew, And to this ship they went, With cutlasses drawn they went to fight, For they knew their gold was spent. With sailed pulled tight, the rudder turned, The scope hanging o’er the side, The cannons polished the guns loaded, As they drifted with the tide. They met, these crews, and the cannons flew, And sabers clashed in the sun, But though the pirates fought gallantly, By the merchant ships were out done. That is the tale of a pirate brave, Gallant, strong, and free, His shirt as red as poppies, And black pant to his knee. by Tim Rutledge COMMUNITY SPIRIT ELEMENTARY GALLERY Once again the artistic potential of the elementary was unbelievable, unfortunately we could not print all the wonderful paintings and portraits because of time restrictions, but any way here is just a sample of the marvellous works that was produced from the elementary. 1. “City by Patrick Calasan, Grade Six 2. “Zeus crowned by Victory” by Rodrigo deAlbuquerque, Grade Six 3. “Peking tower” by Chris Liu, Grade Four 4. “Vancouver College” by Tony, Grade Two 5. “Armageddon” by Andy Jessen, Grade Seven % if 3 T ,7i ff� ft • m • t ■m 0 mj « nr m m � w m m m FR t jBD . m q by Patrick � « . fc l 68 V svvv 3 69 70 GRADE EIGHT HOMEROOMS Front Row: Jason Carthy, Martin Lynch, Dean MacLean, Tim Bataille, Charlo Barbosa, John Quach, Greg Andrew Second Row: Norman Sherry, Simon Scully, Frank Bailey, Kevin Cockell, Sean McConville, Scott Bowland.

These high-spirited young people did a marvellous job in getting one of the hi ghest pledged walkathon totals in the entire school this year. They also demonstrated the existence of a strong, friendly atmosphere and togetherness when the students organized a luncheon together on the last Friday before the Christmas exams week. CARING Class 82 above all, cares for others who are less fortunate than they are. Mr. Budai says that his class is one of the best in the school at obtaining money and food for those in need. Class 82 is not overly athletic, though they do try their hardest, which is more important. Though they haven’t won many games sports- wise, it is often the slow starters who wind up first. The class officers for 1983-1984 were; Allan Frankland, president, Glen Davies, vice president, and Ken McLeod, treasurer.

The majority of 83’s pupils are involved in some way with the school’s sports teams. When not playing, they enjoy exhibiting their boisterous class spirit at pep-rallies and football games. 83 led in money pledged for the school’s annual walkathon at the high school level. Aside from sports and social functions, the class finds time to maintain an average academic standard. The Class is guided by Mr. Choo and Brother Keilty. They encourage the class to further their interests in both sports and academics. 83 derives their “Power” from their enthusiasm and exuberance, which in turn leads to the success of this class. Because of this, 83 is proud to be called a part of the “Fighting Irish”! fl 1 — Front Row: Daniel Fiegert, Geoff Mak, James Brennan. Kevin Netherton, Philippe Doebeli, Adrie Van Viersen, Albert Lee.

PARTICIPANTS It’s hard to characterize a group as diverse as the gentlemen of Homeroom 103, since they contributed in so many ways to the life of the school. They took part in track, football, basketball, and wrestling as players and managers, and were consistently in contention for top honors in intramurals. They led the grade 10 classes in Walkathon collections, and were one of the top classes in the high schools in missions. They helped, with the other grade 10’s, to bring back to life the thunder and power of Irish spirit both at pep rallies and games. Maybe, after all, it’s not so hard to characterize them - they were participants, not observers, and the school was richer for their presence. 88 PROWESS Back in September, Mr. Sponza felt he was sure that he would have his hands full when he noticed these 36 “smiling” faces. As it turned out, not only were they abundant in number, but also in enthusiasm. Led by president Mark Brown, homeroom 104 exhibited the Finnegan Spirit as participants and spectators to all school activities. The class showed prowess not only in athletic events, but also in academic achievements. Front Row: V. Phavongkham, M. Batho, P. Ho, L. Vakakis, J. Ko, M. Brown, S. Koch, T. Lam. Second Row: P.

COOPERATIVE Homeroom 113 began the school year as twenty-three individual students. It has since jelled into a unit led by class president Derreck Mckinnon, vice- president Mark Sartin, and treasurer Ryan Mahwinney. The class has a variety of talents: academic, athletic, social, and religious. However, hard work and a serious attitude towards studies have not kept the students from having fun. An outstanding characteristic of the class is its cooperative spirit which springs from the motto the class has adopted: ECG, namely, to strive to be Educated Christian Gentlemen.

They have participants in all facets of College life, including both sports and academics. This class has a special sense of the ‘‘Irish Spirit , partly due to the fact that Br. Hancock was himself a College grad. These boys reflect an impressive, outgoing attitude, brought upon them by their years here at the college. The boys in this class prove to be an asset to the College, and the College way of life. 97 RESIDENT STUDENTS V.C.’s Resident students are a unique group of young men from places near and far - Vancouver being the nearest and Malasia being the farthest. While the majority of the inmates of McCormack Hall are from the interior of B.C., the largest single contingent is from our neighbouring province of Alberta, around Edmonton to be exact. The faculty moderators are Brothers Basil, Kielty, and MacKenzie, and the student moderators (both College grads) are Paul Smolders and Liam Coughlan. In addition a number of the Brothers assist with supervision in the dorm or at studyhall; these are Brothers McNiven, Burton, English, Hancock, Costello, and Rowland. Over the years the Resident students have contributed considerably to building a more cosmopolitan atmosphere in the school. 98 99 100 101 VARSITY FOOTBALL “TOUGH SEASON” IT | o’ B Front Row: Bill Kelly, Robert Harding, Joe Olma, John Hsuan, Mike Antomazzi, Sean Giefing, Tyler Lorenz, Rod Lobozar, Geoff Hamlin, Mike Atmore, Kevin McHugh, Kevin Jordan, John Clarke.

It is true that the Irish lost some tough battles this year, but on the playing field one could never say they were beaten. Led by cap¬ tains Kevin Clarke, Sean Giefing, Mike Antoniazzi and Geoff Gray-Grant, one found, in the mud and the slop, some of the most driving determination ever witnessed at V.C. Technically, they lost because the scoreboard said so, but overall they were winners. Not many losing teams produce 4 all stars and send 7 players to the B.C. Lions football camp. Members of a losing team would not dedicate their time and effort in the summer months running and weightlifting. Nor would devoted coaches like Mr. R. Hallam, Mr. J. Burke and Mr. P. Toth spend many extra hours for the betterment of the team if they believed they were working with players who didn ' t want to win. Yes, the team wanted to win, but, what was more important, was that they gained from their ex¬ periences. The 1984 Irish Football Club did not produce a losing team; it developed men. Good luck to next year ' s squad.

While capturing the Skyline League championship and a berth in the Junior Bowl,they compiled an impressive record of 11 wins and 2 losses. The coaches of the team were Jim Canil, who coached the offensive backs; Mark Cordic, who worked the defensive backs and receivers; and Jay Prepchuck who coached the line. Although none of the coaches were on staff at the College, their dedication and spirit were truly an inspiration for the team. The on field performances were marked by a tenatious defense lead by outstanding lineman Eddy Dino and most inspirational player and linebacker Matt Clarke, and an ex¬ plosive offense lead by coach’s award winner Dean HJ” Heffring.

The players learned that despite the super interest and effort they displayed throughout the season, this alone does not win games. They learned that the real reward of hardwork and dedication is satisfaction in having done one ' s best. So, while the students did not meet with success in term of winning any of their games, they did meet with success in another very important area - namely, that of character development. The Collegian would like to commend these young men on the dedication that they displayed throughout the season to both the program and the school. no WRESTLING ’84 The 1983-84 Irish Wrestling Team came up with the best results for a Vancouver College Wrestling team in the last decade. Placing 7th in the S.F.U. invitational and 7th in the Port Alberni invitational, 9 wrestlers from V.C. qualified for the B.C. High School Wrestling Championships held at Carson Graham: Cory Smith, Lacky Benning, Ralph “Godfather” Cirencione, Joe Olma, Kevin Roberts, Robert Harding, Craig Duggan, Rob Repolusk and Adrian Pol. Going into the B.C.’s, V.C. was one of the favorites to place in the Top 10. Lacky Benning and Adrian Pol were both seaded in the top 4 in their respective weight classes, but Adrian was unable to compete due to a back injury. Lacky managed a 5th place finish, as did Rob Repolusk, a first year wrestler, who wrestled impressively. With almost the whole team returning for the 1984-85 season, Coach Anderson and his wrestlers will be a team to watch next year. I ,i ill VARSITY BASKETBALL Front Row - Br. English.

The highlights of the season would be the championship trophies for the Handsworth Classic, the Nanaimo Xmas Classic, and our own League Championship which gave the team post season play at B.C.l.T. where we “just about” beat King George (83-82) and then “just about” beat John Oliver (85-83). The season’s record was 17 and 13. In spite of the lack of height the team managed to play some very exciting basketball and the intensity and skill of the Fighting Irish” proved too much for many top ranked teams. Good luck to all of the graduating athletes and we hope that you continue to enjoy the game. 112 V 113 114 115 JUNIOR VARSITY BASKETBALL Front Row: Matt Clarke, Paul Mrazek, Mike Stratiotti, Mark Reid.

Basketball team started the season by travelling to the Prince Rupert tourney and losing in the championship game to the home team in front of 500 people. During their own Emerald, the team won by gaining revenge on Prince Rupert and then overpowering Nanaimo in the final. The Irish con¬ tinued their winning form, topping the Independant League with a perfect 6 0 record. Mark Reid and Bill Bailey were key defensive players. Mark Bragagnolo, John Donald, Matt Clarke and Szilard Fricska led the even attack of the Irish. Rebounds were provided by Kris Kucera, while Keiron McConnel, Mike Guthrie, Derek Levelt and Mike Stradiotti provided powerful relief. Consistent shooting from Craig Burns and Paul Mrazek also helped the team. The team placed 4th in the Provincial Final, losing to the eventual winners of the tournament from Vernon. The coaching of Mr. Choo and his assistant, Mr. Claven was a key factor in the Irish success, as was the help provided by managers Gordon and Charlie Byrn. The team also thanks all the fans who provided strong support throughout the season. 116 117 GRADE 9 BASKETBALL - JUMP!

The team entered three tournaments and won three tournaments: Ab¬ botsford, New Westminister and V.C.’s own Grade Nine Emerald Tournament. The outstanding game of the year was at the Emerald Tournament where the team beat Lynden High School from Washington State 79-52 in the final game. In the Independent School League the team was undefeated. The trophy winners for this year’s team are: Outstanding Player - Jay Alvarez; Most Inspirational Player - Bart Hall, and the Most Improved Player - Angus MacFarlane.

Although the players on our team were very often outmatched in both size and weight, they did manage to finish the season with an admirable record of 25 wins and 9 losses. They finished second in the independent League with a 6-2 record, losing to Notre Dame twice by narrow margins. In tournament play the team placed in all but one of six tournaments, and as a result are able to boast two first place finishes, runner-up twice, and a third and fourth place finish. The only two teams that they were unable to conquer in the course of the season were Notre Dame and Hugh Boyd. However, the last match-up against each of these teams proved that in due time these two teams will also fall prey to this fine group of young Vancouver College athletes. R.C. Palmer, who managed to twice defeat our team by slim margins in the first part of the season, got thumped by 16 points in the final match-up of the season here at the College. While the team did display a fair degree of finesse in competition, their success, for the most part, was due to their discipline, hard work and dedication. The determination of the players to excel was amply acknowledged and rewarded, since each of the starting five collected an award at some point over the course of the season. At the Wellington Tourney in Naniamo, John Reid was selected most valuable player and John Bailey was named to the all-star team. Kevin Stack was chosen as one of five all-stars at the Seaquam Tourney in North Delta, and here at our own V.C. Tourney, Malcolm Reid was selected to the all-star team, while Rob McKay collected the award for best defensive player in the cham¬ pionship game. While contributions to the team were acknowledged periodically by individual awards, the membe rs of this grade eight club can best be described as players who knew the meaning of team work. On two occasions they held their opponents to a mere 19 points, and once, with all members of the team making a contribution, they managed an impressive total of 75 points in one game. The substitutes, who are critical to the success of any basketball team, were Paul Bach and Jimmy Dunn in the point- guard position, Anton Danielson, Adrian McKenzie and Chris Yong (the sixth man) in the wing guard positions, and Dan Deppiesse, Ray Olma and John O’Regan at forward. Each of these players made noteworthy contributions and showed great spirit and enthusiasm in fulfilling their role on the team. Also, critical to the functioning of any team are managers and statisticians. This dual role was handled magnificently - as the players to this can attest - by Andy Nathanson. The interest, hard work and dedication which he brought to the team can not be over-stated. It must also be acknowledged that the contribution of the parents of the boys on the team was also an essential and intergral factor in the team’s success. Without the many parents who willingly provided a seemingly endless source of transportation to and from games, and who unselfishly gave of their time to come out and support the team, none of this would have been possible. The school is in debt to them, as well as the players on the team. Finally, recognition and appreciation are extended to the host of students who were responsible for putting together the grade eight tournament to which V.C. played host. The tournament director Brian Ewanchuk, his assistants (Simon Scully, Stephen Goepel, Carlo De Mello, Scott Bowland, Doug Charlton, Kevin McElroy, Joe Freidt. Rabee Geronimo, Brendan McCabe, Philippe Doebeli, and many others, and all those who officiated either as referees or as timers and scorers, are to be commended for the selflessness which they displayed in assisting with the running of the grade eight V.C. Emerald Tourney. In conclusion, let it suffice to say that the whole experience shall, properly, remain a memorable one. 121 122 GRADE 6 AND 7 BASKETBALL SWIM TEAM - VICTORIA ’83 This year the Fighting Irish Swim Team made waves in Victoria as they took part in the B.C.S.S. Provincial Swim¬ ming Championships last November 25- 26, 1983. For the first time the team was headed by three relay teams. The boys’ A200 medley relay as well as the A200 free relay of Ian Hylands, Bruce Carpenter, Turlough O’Hara and Adrian Robertson, all of grade ten, came 4th in both events. The boys’ B200 medley relay of Doug Mulder, Graham Lenz (shut up I’m sleeping), Craig Mitchell and John Dyer placed third to capture a bronze medal. Doug Mulder of grade twelve placed 6th in 50 freestyle, 5th in 100m and 3rd in 100 freestyle, winning a bronze medal. Ian Hylands came 8th in 200m and Bruce Carpenter 5th in 100 back. Craig Mitchell placed 8th in 50 fly and 3rd in 50 Back, winning a bronze medal. The Swim Team for the second straight year has proven itself as a powerful “Major” sport. The team thanks the parents who are responsible for making this year another success.

The Irish have brought themselves to a point where they seem ready to establish a dynasty of provincial domination.How has this happened? Track has always been present at Vancouver College but it began to make real progress with Coach Greg Emry in the late ' 70’s. When Coach Robert Hallam took over in 1980 things really began to roll. The completion of O ' Hagan field and track in 1981 meant a tremendous boost to the vagabond Irish. Now they had an arena, and in the bunker, a home. Every year since has seen major improvement, culminating in last year’s domination of the Independent Zone, winning of the Vancouver Relays and a third place finish in the Provincial Finals. This year the team looks even stronger and it ' s early season wins over tough American competition show that a first place Provincial title is a very strong possibility. Still, how do you establish a winning tradition? For Coach Hallam the answer is simple: get as many students involved as possible, train them with the best methods available, and work, work, work. Enough hard work and athletes will develop their talents to the fullest; that makes them winners to themselves and with members like that a team becomes a winner. There are other factors: the tough schedules that have hastened maturity; the participation in provincial and national competition outside the school; the building of a new improved weight room, completed by the generous time and labour of Coaches Doyle, Hallam and Canil; the untiring efforts of manager David Jansen and his assistants; the response of the staff to host meets and help withall the various duties; and most of all the very good support of the student body. In the end though, it all comes down to the individual and his desire to be a winner - to develop himself to the full limit of his abilities. If the early succeses of the Irish Track and Field Team are any indication of what is to follow, the team is bound for glory for they are THE CHARIOTS OF FIRE. 127 1.

There are many words which come to mind when we think of Remembrance Day - words like sacrifice, patriotism, heroism, protection of our freedoms and beliefs - to mention just a few. We at Vancouver College pause in unity with all Canadians to remember those who died and to pray for the victims of aggresion and inhumanity throughout the world. By this we are not glorifying the terrible act of war, those who died or served their country did not love war, they loved peace and all that flowed from peace. This is a day to pray for peace, to consider what we are doing as in¬ dividuals, as a community and as a nation to bring God’s peace into the world. As we remember those who died to protect our freedom, let us ask ourselves what we are doing with this freedom which we have. Are we using it to put into practice our beliefs that all men are brothers and that everyone has the dignity of being a child of God?

Nine and one half hours later - 2:30 local time • the group landed in Paris, France. Thus began the 1984 V.C. “Tour de France ; a two week excursion that covered some 3,000 kilometres, via private coach, with stops in such places as Chartres, Tours, Bordeaux, Biarritz, Lourdes, Toulouse, Limoges and Versailles. The object of the trip was the educational and cultural experience such a sojourn would produce. In fact they had not even arrived at their hotel when they discovered that Paris and its traffic had little similarity to their own. Narrow and congested streets, cars everywhere - both on the street and on the sidewalk! The vast Parisienne subway, “Le Metro , was experienced and found to be tres facile. Both in Paris and elsewhere historical sights such as cathedrals, shrines, chateaus and palaces were visited. Even though Wendy’s and the Golden Arches were discovered, the French gastronomy was sampled and given top marks. A trip to France would not be complete if one omitted the country’s wines. Their stay in Bordeaux included a tour of the wine growing region and a lesson in the art of wine tasting. The ‘bouquet’, ‘legs’ and ‘full body’ of the Medoc wines are well known to all of them. Anyone interested in a short lesson can contact Adrian or any of the tour members since they are know honourary Frenchmen - expert wine tasters. The success of any trip can be evaluated by the number and quality of memorable incidents. The 1984 Tour receives A+ in this category! They’re sure to remember “Benson” and “Billy Idol . How about the time and incident in Monmartre when Andy M. was labelled “You shtupid turist! Their side trip to Spain also had memorable moments as they recall Larry’s halo incident at the French-Spanish border and Vittorio’s expertise in the country’s language and foods. They definitely can’t forget Rob and the Coca-Cola shortage that occurred shortly after they arrived. Even the chaperons - Mrs. Naas, Mr. Budai and Mr. Sponza - in years to come will remember their luncheon at the Tour d’Argent. We understand they almost ended up washing dishes! Just as memorable an experience was found at the disco in Biarritz. With the dancing style being different than in North America some of the boys learned to shadow dance - an advantage in itself, right Chris? If you’re wondering what the Atlantic Ocean is like, ask Roddy or Graham; I’m sure they ' re thawed out by now! Fondest memories are associated with people. For most Jacqueline and Jacquie wil be easily remembered. For others their memories will recall Gioncarlo, Teresa and Fabiana as they ask, as did Hall and Oates, “Where are the Italian girls? All in all commendation for this enjoyable and memorable tour has to be given to the characters who made up the whole group. Each and everyone should be thanked and congratulated for having created a BOGUS experience! 140 1) Mr. H Budai, ready for another day of sightseeing. 2) Graham Lenz poses before taking a dip in the Atlantic. 3) Small, narrow streets are typical in Paris. 4) Mrs. Naas takes in some rays with an unknown male companion. 5) Mike Atmore chats with Graham Lenz while waiting for le diner to be served. 6) Mr. Sponza waits on a bridge where French revolutionaries once passed. 141 142 1) No one realized that Mr. Kavelac owned a restaurant in Paris. 2) Paris is a city of monuments. 3 A large and elaborate cemetary houses the remains of famous Fren¬ chmen. 4) Les Invalides - the tomb of Napoleon Bonaparte. 5) A walk down a busy Parisienne street. 6) Gambling en Francais. 7 8) The Holy City of Lourdes was a focal point of the trip. Here the shrine of Our Lady and the Grotto are shown. 9) The three chaperons enjoyed their last meal on foreign soil. 10) The world famous Notre Dame Cathedral. 143 Again, Wednesday afternoon activities gave everyone a chance to do something they enjoyed or to try something new. The activities varied from horticulture and chess to skiing and bicycle touring. Everybody had a lot of fun and the only complaint was that four weeks weren’t enough 1) Mr Vandersande’s answer to Michael Jackson. 2) Br, Basil commands a student taking part in the horticulture activity. 3) A new form of sea life is discovered. 4) The new electric typewriters are worked in by the typing activity. 5) Mr. Sponza - REALLY! 6) Mike Dziekan jams with the Vancouver College Stage Band. 7) Stuart Robinson and his reaction to the study activity. 8) Mr. Matusicky - champion badminton player. i 145 P.E. CLASSES 146 147 A MUSICAL EXTRAVAGANZA! 150 After nine years of presenting superior musicals, the VC LFA Elementary Musical Society was pleased to mark its 10th Anniversary with “A Musical Extravaganza”. The show was an unique one. Musical numbers from various shows over the years were performed with the original performers; some of which were in the high school, and others who had graduated. The original Peter Pan, Wizard of Oz, Artful Dodger, Pinocchio and many others took part in this grand reunion, which was presented on May 3, 4, and 5th at the Prince of Wales Auditorium. The cast began practicing in earnest during February. Many hours were put in by Mrs. June Koch as Mucical Director, Mrs Carol Coulson as Director and Choreographer, and by Brother Costello as Producer. Judging from the three per¬ formances, the cast and crew of ‘‘A Musical Extravaganza” deserve a round of applause. 151 152 153 ARTWORK mm V X 4 M £ ■ M wm y. 4 i U,1 n, r 155 Antmwz ' at 158 THE COLLEGIAN STAFF ’84 % 159 COLLEGIAN 1984 Every year, the yearbook is put together by a small dedicated group of students mainly from grades eleven and twelve. This year the many different faces who made up the 1984 Collegian staff created a book which we hope reflects the real pattern of life at V.C. Again this year the faculty section was informal, which provided a better balanced looking sec¬ tion. Hopefully the many candid shots throughout the book will accurately reflect our student body. This year the staff tried a new organizational format headed by Dave Jansen as Editor; he was supported by an Editorial Advisory Committee which helped to determine the editorial policy of the Collegian. Thus, this year’s book is truly the work of many hands. This year the school treasurer, Br. Brennan helped with the Ad section taking a heavy burden from Anil Dolan the Business editor. The staff would like to thank him for all his help during the year. Three of the yearbook staff hierarchy had political inclinations towards the revitalized Progressive Conservative Party under Mr. Brian Mulroney. The yearbook room was frequently used as a P.C. Caucus room during lunch hour and was the location of many heated political debates. 160 THE ‘VOICE’ OF VANCOUVER COLLEGE 162 After the absence of a school newspaper for one year, a group of students undertook the task of getting a newspaper rolling; and they did. Under the fine moderation of Brother Hancock and Editor Ed Lopez, the Voice put out a medium-sized quality newspaper roughly every month. Included in each computer-printed issue were teacher interviews, music and movie reviews, comic strips, and the famous Jeff Thorne advice column. Many thanks to the staff for rejuvenating the newspaper and giving Vancouver College students something to look forward to and enjoy every month. 163 LETTERMEN 164 165 STUDENT COUNCIL OF 1984 Student Council, as always, plays an important role in the liason between the students and the governing forces of the school. This year, under Brother MacKenzie’s moderation, members of the elected council met weekly with Brother McNiven in order to put across their ideas and get Brother’s reaction to them. While the Council set up numerous dances but fell short of fulfilling other goals, it was kept financially afloat by a shrewd Oriental businessman, Alfred Ling. The Council is respected by all and a big thanks is given to all its members for their time and effort. 166 + M ; CHRISTIAN BROTHERS SYMBOLISM OF THE CREST The Star in the Crest is a reminder that those who instruct many unto justice shall shine as stars for all eternity. As the star shines in darkness, it is regarded as a symbol of enlightenment and instruction, the services which the Church requires from our Congregation on behalf of the youth of the flock; and since the instruction of the Religious Teacher should be primarily of Christ and Him crucified, the star is set upon the Cross, the source of the inspiration of our faith and the instrument of our Redemption. The Cross with its circle, the symbol of eternity, and its traceries, are essentially Celtic in design. The outer circle exhibits further specimens of Celtic tracery, and bears in Celtic lettering, and Latin words, the title of our congregation: Congregation of the Christian Brothers. The letters displayed on the open page are there to remind us again that, with our own sanctification, the great object of our congregation is to impart to the young the knowledge of God, of “Alpha and Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end. The ribbon that twines around the circle, and is made to appear above it in conventional forms, bears the motto, Facere et docere. These latin words mean to do and to teach. St. Matthew writes: “He therefore, who shall break one of these least commandments, and shall so teach men, shall be called the least in the kingdom of Heaven. But he that shall do and teach, shall be called great in the Kingdom of heaven. Facere et docere, what more appropriate motto could be adopted by a Congregation of Religious Educators? Facere, to do, that is, to show forth in our lives the charity of Christ; docere, to teach the youth of our charge. Finally the Cross, the emblem of our Faith, and the Star, an emblem of hope, and of Mary, Stella Maris, are enclosed in a frame composed of many parts all so ingeniously composed and deftly intertwined that the complete design produces that sense of satisfaction which harmony and unity ever create. And this, too, has its symbolims, for it typifies the comforting conditions that should adorn a Reglious Congregation whose members are gathered together “to procure God’s glory as far as lies in them, or so far as He is pleased to require of them.” To them may be applied the appreciation of the Psalmist: “Behold how good and how pleasant it is for brethern to dwell together in unity.” 168 ‘Tis education forms the common mind; Just as the twig is bent the tree’s inclined. Pope Everybody who is incapable of learning has taken to teaching. Wilde 169 Where else would a pig sell for $600.00 or a bald man purchase a haircut for $50.00? The Van¬ couver College Parents Association Dinner Dance Auction, of course. For the past two years, the Parents Association has put on the gala event with great success, having the proceeds put towards the benefit of Vancouver College. This Section is dedicated to those Parents and students who made the affair a success. 1) The famous O’Hagan pig; Mr. O ' Hagan (right) later donated it to the Brothers. 2) Doormen Joe Olma and Geoff Gray-Grant chat with Jen Turner and Mrs. McTavish working the coatroom. 3) Brother Maher and Mrs. Russell console a sorry bidder. 4) The Giefings and both Clarke families watch on as P.A. President Hank Giefing makes a bid. 172 1) Maynard ' s Auctioneers have hosted the event for the past two years and a special thanks should be given to Mr. Siebolt (shown here) and Maynard’s Auctioneers. 2) Working the door, the Lettermen take a break as John Clarke cracks a joke. 3) One of the many interesting items in¬ cluded an authentic brass rubbing from England. 4) Mr. Seymour and Mrs. Olma share a laugh. 5) Mr. and Mrs. Ell contemplate a bid. 6) Boys, that would make a delicious Christmas Dinner. 173 PERSONAL SPONSORS DAVIES PERSONNEL LTD.

V6J 1Y6 734-1212 209 SYMBOLISM OF THE COLLEGE CREST The present crest of Vancouver College dates from the 1930’s -- at least the earliest publication of it appears in is the 1941 yearbook. The crest is dominated by a cross -- the source of the inspiration of our Christian faith and that of the Irish Christain Brothers. The cross with its circle, the symbol of eternity and its traceries are essentially Celtic in nature pointing to the Irish origin of the founding Christian Brothers. The outer circle bears the Latin inscription for Vancouver College and the date of its founding, 1922. In the centre of the cross is a maple leaf -- symbolic of Canada and of hope for the future. It is in¬ teresting that the maple leaf hss been part of the College crest for a least forty-five years and perhaps longer, longer even than it has been officially Canada’s national emblem. 210 TOYOTA TOYOTA TOYOTA TOYOTA weve • PREPAID FREIGHT TO WHOLESALE ACCOUNTS • GENUINE TOYOTA PARTS • FAST EFFICIENT SERVICE ■TOGETHER!
