BR. MCHUG H’S MESSAGE It is the close of another school year and a time worthy of reflection. Hopefully, it has been a year of growth in every way - physically, socially, intellectually and spiritually. That has been our motivation at Vancouver College, and we trust it has been yours, too. Our hope and prayer is that your years at Vancouver College have helped you to see yourself a little more clearly and developed in you a deeper understanding of the respect for human nature. This is the essential, continual part of the educational process and without it there is no education. Congratulations and best wishes from the Vancouver College School Community to those who are graduating this year. Our prayer for you at this time is that God will bless your sincere efforts during your life’s journey with His peace and happiness. The school motto is: “Semper Fidelis” - ALWAYS FAITHFUL. Fidelity is an admira ble quality in a person. Be faithful in your response to your God and to the needs of others. God bless you and yours BROTHER JOHN F. MCHUGH, c.f.c. Principal

BR. P.P. MCNIVEN, C.F.C. Brother Paul McNiven was appointed principal of Vancouver College in the spring of 1983 and took office early in July. Both teachers and students found that their new principal was a truly spiritual man, dedicated to the ideals of Catholic education and ready to promote a spirit of real scholarship in the school. Everyone who met him found him to be a real Christian gentleman in every sense of the word, kind and con¬ siderate and easy to deal with - although he could be very firm when a matter of principle was at stake. However, at the beginning of his second year in office he was struck by a recurring health problem, and found it necessary to tender his resignation to the Christian Brothers’ Provincial Council. After a restful con¬ valescence and a rapid return to good health Brother McNiven is now ready to assume his new responsibilities as Headmaster of St. Joseph’s Academy, West Indies. Teachers and alumni will long remember Msgr. Nichol’s knack of catching the student body’s attention during his homilies at school masses by telling stories to back up his points. All his life he has been a young person’s priest -- both as confidant and friend — many former students who were his alter servers enjoyed holidays with their parish priest in the Okanagan. On a regular basis, he still often takes over religion classes and fields students’ questions about religion or life in general. MSGR. T.N. NICHOL, D.P. 60TH ANNIVERSARY In April of 1985, Msgr. T.M. Nichol celebrated the sixtieth anniversary of his ordination to the priesthood. For about forty of . those years, as pastor of Sts. Peter and Paul’s Parish, he was directly concerned with the spiritual welfare of our students. When he retired from active parish work in 1982, it seemed only natural that the College should become his home, and he moved into the Brothers’ Residence. The Collegian offers its congratulations and thanks to one of College’s greatest friends on the occasion of his diamond jubilee. ■■■I 10
