MISSION IN THE UNIVERSITY
Mr. Slott relaxes after arriving from London, England
The Mission was a centre of interest on the campus in the tall term. Rev. John Stott from London, England, was joined for this eftbrt by some dozen associate missioners, among them university professors and ministers.
The daily five o'clock addresses by Mr. Stott were the pre- dominant feature of the Mission. Toward these tended all the subsidiary meetings, and from them arose much thoughtful, though often skeptical, discussion.
Among the events of the Mission were various "bull sessions" in fraternities and residences. There was great frankness of inquiry into the "mysteries" of God and the reality of a personal relationship with Him as presented by the speakers. Some typi- cal residence comment: What is distinctive about Christianity? Why does Christianity have an absolute position? How can Christianity claim to answer all problems through one person, Jesus Christ? Isn't Christianity autosuggestion?
The main address each day was given by Rev. John Stott in Convocation Hall

Students from every section of the campus could be heard commenting and debating about the Mission. The "Varsity" gave a comprehensive coverage of the main addresses and aroused considerable controversy with its editorials. Pertinent letters met in battle in the "Readers Write" columns for several weeks. Mr. Stott stressed the necessity for personal commitment. To those who were vitally concerned, he outlined four steps to be taken.

EXPANSION !
This airview shows the 26 acres of expropriated land.
The area is bounded by S». George Street (the right-hand
border of this photo), and Spadina Avenue on the west.
College Street runs along the south (near bottom of
photoj and Harbord Street on the north.
The Medical Arts building can be spotted at Bloor Street directly above the tall chimney of the heating plant, and Harbord Street can be picked out about halfway between this building and the top of the chimney.
On December 1 1. 1956, newspapers announced that the Univer- sity of Toronto had taken action to expropriate 26 acres of com- mercial and residential property immediately west of the present campus. President Sidney Smith had frequently called for expan- sion of Canadian universities to handle an expected doubling of enrollment by 1967. "Never since the acquisition of land by King's College," he said, "has there been such a momentous decision relating to the physical development of this University."
Development of the area will follow a gradual plan, guided by a planning committee composed of members of the Board of Gover- nors and of the teaching and administrative staffs. Dr. Smith pointed out that expropriation will enable the University to main- tain its high academic standards in the face of the influx of students. It will assist in attracting and retaining first-class men and women for teaching and research.

The present campus is shown in this portion of the aerial photo. The Wallberg Building on College Street may be seen in the lower corner, with the majestic circular roof of Convocation Hall just north of it. Bloor Street is marked by Varsity Stadium and the new Park Plaza Hotel. The large new Imperial Oil building on St. Clair and the apartments on Avenue Road are altering Toronto's skyline.
The Willcecks— Huron intersection shows a tree-lined street typical of the area
One of the rows of houses
The area expropriated for future expansion of the University is a 26-acre tract bounded by College Street, St. George Street, Harbord Street, and Spadina Avenue. It does not include a small commercial block in the south-west corner of the area nor the Toronto Public Library.
The area already contains eleven units of the University, such as the old Dentistry Building (to be vacated about January, 1959), the School of Nursing, Psychology Dept. buildings, the heating plant, and a department of the Connaught Medical Research Laboratory.
The district contains about three hundred homes, forty businesses, eleven apartment houses, sundry clubs, fraternity houses, and rooming houses. It is an area with a slightly shopworn look. The University's expropriation action will save it from a less enviable development in the next ten years. The new campus will consist of attractive but frill-less buildings giving maximum accommodation per dollar spent. Dr. Smith indicated that pooling of accommodation by many different departments is a principle which must be followed in years to come. First buildings on the new campus may be for use by the faculties of arts and of engineering.
Some changes are already being made. Law, for example, moved into this building last fall
Dents, too, are planning to move from this building on College Street
s te'f
e*-.
St. Michael's College, too, is expanding rapidly. This new men's residence is located on St. Mary Street (top right).
The foundation of the men's residence was completed long before winter set in.
New residence accommodation was provided for St. Michael's women, too, and another will soon be built on St. Mary Street.

Every male student of the University of Toronto is a member of Hart House. All of the activities are planned by representative committees or clubs. In a very real sense Hart House is the heart of the University. It provides a meeting place for students, graduates, and faculty from all colleges and faculties. It contributes a unique character to this campus; the vision represented in the Founders' Prayer has been more than justified in the vital activity that has centred in this House during the past thirty-eight years.
Hart House was conceived, planned, built, as a result of a broad concept of education. It is in a sense a protest against the easy tendency to think of education as being primarily or solely an intellectual or rational process. Any education which fails to create a sense of wonder at the universe, an appreciation of beauty, an awareness of human need, fails at its most vital point. This is my interpretation of the role that Hart House must play in our University. I hope that the varied activities of this year, the friendships and associations formed within the House, have contributed in some measure to this purpose.

LIBRARY COMMITTEE
An exchange of books between Hart House and the Austrahan National Uni- versity was arranged this year. The books which were sent were chosen with a view to reflecting the main currents of Canadian hterature. Several outstanding Library Even- ing speakers were heard. These included such men as movie critic Clyde Gilmour, and Dr. D. K. C. MacDonald of the National Research Council.

The Music Committee had another year of interesting programmes. The Sunday Evening Concerts featured such artists as Greta Kraus (harpsichord), Ray Dudley (pianist), and Rowhmd Pack ('cello). The largest turn-outs for Wednesday 5 o'clock recitals occurred for the debut of the Groob Trio, and for guitarist Eli Kassner. Jazz groups featured in the Noon-Hour series were Alf Coward's and the Kater "Kats".

COMMITTEE
This year's highlight was a 45 Board Simul- taneous exhibition, given by the International Master, Frank Anderson. Losing only one match, Mr. Anderson won 35 while drawing nine. This event was broadcast on television by C.B.C. The Club also participated in two matches with other Universities. Hart House defeated the visiting McGill team 3-1 and tied with the University of BufTalo.

SOCIETY
The Exploration Society provides a meeting ground for members interested in travel and exploration. With this aim in view, it provides a series of meetings, ranging in topic from reports of Glaciological expeditions to British Columbia to the activities of members in the West Indies. Several trips are held each winter, the most notable last winter being the visit to the Winter Mountain Climbing School in the Adirondacks and a January camping trip to Algonquin Park.

Fifty men can have a lot of fun singing together. Especially when they are the Hart House Glee Club under the direction of Ward McAdam. This year was a busy one for the Chorus which per- formed the most ambitious repertoire of its long history on the campus. In November, the sixth Annual Tri-University Concert saw choruses from Rochester and Sudbury join the boys for their invitational musical evening. The Christmas season was a busy time with concerts at the Old Mill, the Blue and White Christmas Tree in the Great Hall, and singing for the patients at the Children's Hospital.
The Club was heard in a Sunday Morning Church Service at the House, and presented a programme at the St. Mikes AM & D Concert. The Queen's University Subscription Concert Series saw the Glee Club play to its largest audience, and the season wound up with the traditional Sunday Evening Concert in the Great Hall.
A broadcast was made over CBC Radio and the Club made two LP recordings during the season. All in all, the heavy schedule made for a lot of good work and good fun for a group of fellows who get together because they love to sing.

DARK OF THE MOON
HART HOUSE THEATRE
This year was Hart House Theatre's eleventh season as an all-undergraduate theatre under the direction of Robert Gill. Four productions were presented with casts chosen from all the colleges and faculties on the campus. The October pro- duction was "Dark of the Moon", a folk-fantasy by Howard Richardson and William Berney. The second production, in November, was Miles Malleson's adaptation of Moliere's classic comedy, "The School for Wives". The January production was "The Innocents" by William Archibald based on the famous ghost story "The Turn of the Screw" by Henry James. The annual Shakesprearean production, in February, was "The Tempest". Each play ran for seven performances and nearly a hundred students participated during the season.
Hart House Theatre has proved itself a valuable part of the life of the Uni- versity. Besides giving students an opportunity to act and take part in the technical operation of stage production, it is also providing an opportunity for the under- graduates of the University and the Toronto public to see plays of high quality and interest. During the University term the theatre is in constant use. In addition to the Hart House Theatre series, productions of various kinds were presented by fourteen producing groups on the campus.

MARGOT HILL Organizations Editor
Tackling the "Orgs" section for a second year, Margot aimed right from the start for h'velier pix and briefer, more interesting copy. Despite S.A.C. tardiness and an occasional visitor, she made up her 105 pages in record-shattering time (17 days). For her countless hours of hard work, her pleasant enthusiasm, and her resourcefulness Margot was awarded a Torontonensis pin.

At its meeting on November 28th, the Students" Administrative Council, acting on the year's big- gest news story — the Hungarian uprising and im- migration— initiated the formation of a Hungarian Aid Co-ordinating Committee on the campus. This committee, co-chaired by Michael Shoemaker, Tom Virany, and Tom Thomson, was successful in accumulating and co-ordinating student re- sources, and in offering, with the aid of the University administration, twenty complete scholarships to Hungarian students for the school year 1957-58. It also established facilities for instruction in English to make these students ready for University, and for soliciting aid for any addi- tional students who might seek assistance.
Perhaps the most heartening event of the year was the success of "Finian's Rainbow", the All Varsity Revue, produced under the auspices of the Council. The Council was exceedingly pleased with the calibre of the show and its success, ^vhich owed much to Logan Varey, the Revue's Chair- man, Curt Reis, director, and Norman Griesdorf, producer.
The Publications Commission, with Harry Arthurs as commissioner, enjoyed a singularly pleasant year. The very high calibre of The Var- sity, edited by Peter Gzowski and supported by Cathy Breslin, Mike Cassidy, Doug Marshall, et al, made corrective or directive action unthinkable.
The Commission encountered its most difficult moments in dealing with the Canadian University Press. By being forced to assume most of the financial burden for the CUP conference and the CUP paper, the Council suffered its largest finan- cial setback. Torontonensis and Al Tough once again formed an unbeatable combination. Revenue and circulation were increased, and at year's end Mr. Tough accepted his third term as editor of the yearbook.
On the creative side, a new Freshmen's Booklet was initiated to replace the out-moded Handbook. Edited by Dave Bernhardt, the booklet will be distributed free to all freshmen in the fall.
The work of the Finance Commission under Commissioner Steve Freedhoff was eased by three factors: the excellent income from The Varsity's advertising, the financial success of the All Varsity Revue, and the diligent and efficient work of Mr. Murrill, with his up-to-the-minute figures for the various activities of the Council.
The External Affairs Committee has had a busy and successful year, although the SHARE Cam- paign was disappointing. WUS, chaired by Joan Fidler, sponsored a number of undertakings in- cluding the SHARE Campaign, the work of the Host Committee, the Caledon Seminar, and the Treasure Van. The weekend group, with Ann Mogan as chairman, successfully organized the

HIGHLIGHTS
HUNGARIAN CRISIS: scholarships, aid, and instruction in English to Hungarian students.
A.V.R. REVIVED: Finian's Rainbow financially and artistically successful.
N.F.C.U.S.: constructive programme pushed by Toronto reps.
FRESHMAN'S BOOKLET: outmoded Handbook replaced by attractive readable booklet given to all new students.
MODEL PARLIAMENT: both the name and spirit of "mock" were changed.
BULLETIN BOARD: at last!
traditional Cornell weekend and the Carabin Ex- change. Once again, three times as many people applied for Carabin as could be accepted, indi- cating the importance attached to this activity. The National Affairs Committee, chaired by Gerry Helleiner, continued the activities of the former NFCUS committee after the Council voted to re- join NFCUS, following the latter's adoption of a constructive programme at the national conference in October. It sponsored the Art, Short Story, and Photography contests, and a Student Air Service to Europe.
The Blue and White Society was directed by Brian Anderson, and its activities ranged from football dances and the float parade to the Christ- mas Tree (with its hilarious and its serious moments), post-hockey skating parties, and the Winter Carnival. No one will forget Michelle Boudet, the much-publicized "French movie starlet from Paris", who was the prize in a raffle to solicit funds for the United Appeal.
The U.T.D.U. enjoyed a most active and suc- cessful year. The Chairman, Diane Hallamore, following in the footsteps of her predecessor, zest- fully organized a variety of debates on this campus and on various others throughout Ontario, Que- bec, and the border States. The Model Parliament was operated by the U.T.D.U. and, under the efficient direction of Bruce Lister, provided excel- lent opportunities for budding politicians on the campus.

Al Reesor chaired the Music Committee, which presented two excellent concerts featuring the combined Orchestra and Chorus, and sent the Chorus to the Inter-Varsity Music Festival in London.
The Student Service Commission, under Carol Broadhurst, organized the United Appeal Cam- paign in the fall, which raised almost $6,000, the highest ever. The Commission was also respon- sible for the Red Cross Blood Drive in the spring. Chaired by Ruth Farnden, it brought in a near record number of donors. The Faculty of Forestry

was awarded the Skule Cannon Trophy for the highest donor percentage. A closer link was estab- lished with the Settlement through the work of Walter Logan on the University Settlement House Committee.
A number of committees were appointed during the year to deal with specific problems, particu- larly library hours, and a revamping of the Consti- tution. The work of the Library Committee culminated in the opening of parts of the Library until 1 1 p.m. during the final months of term. A "University" committee was also set up to study the relationship of the student to the University.
Other matters which occupied the attention of the Council from time to time were the method by which Council members were elected to com- mittees, a Canadian tour by Russian students, and the new Bulletin Board (which finally material- ized).
The regular services carried on by the adminis- trative staff were again of great value to the student body — Housing, Employment, the Under- graduate Loan Fund, and the Book Exchange. Collections from the whole University community for the United Appeal and Hungarian Aid were also organized through the Council Office.
The President, Gordon Forstner, and the Vice- President, Flo Middleton, contributed greatly to the workings of the Council in co-ordinating the numerous committees. Mr. Douglas Sherk served as chairman and many times produced order out of chaos. Accolades also to Father Lavery and Dr. Ham, who were most valuable members of the Council team. As stafT advisors, they attended more meetings than many Council members, and provided thoughtful help in every crisis.
What is going on behind Father lavery's back?
As usual, the bulk of the regular administrative work was capably handled by Mr. E. A. Mac- donald (General Secretary-Treasurer) and Miss A. E. M. Parkes (Associate Secretary). Despite the amount of the time required for regular work and minor crises, they were always willing to find time for a friendly, helpful chat with countless students. Also working in the S.A.C. office were the three efficient secretaries. With one "Val" (Valerie Greatrex) already in the office, the addi- tion of Valerie Campitelli caused a little con- fusion with names in October, but she soon adopted the nickname "Telly". Joan Shaw, who has cheerfully handled the many details of Varsity and 'Nensis advertising for two years, leaves in June with her husband for a year in Belfast, Ireland.

S.A.C. HONOUR AWARDS
The HONOUR AWARD of the Students Administrative Council is granted to those students of the graduating year who have contributed most notably to the undergraduate life of the University as a whole.
The recipients are determined by an Honour Award Committee on the basis of nominations received from the various colleges and faculties. The award is symbolized by a gold key and certificate which is presented by the President of the University following the Convocation ceremonies.

External Affairs Commission
The External Affairs Commission is made up of elected or appointed representatives from the various colleges and faculties.
This year the E.A.C., chaired by Gerry Hel- leiner, S.A.C. National Affairs Commissioner, ran the SHARE campaign with Ralph Burgess acting as chief co-ordinator. E.A.C. handled the Treasure Van with Ann Jeffrey tackling all the problems. It also dealt with the Summer Seminar Programme and participated in the various Week- end Exchanges under the capable leadership of Liz Van Every.
Doug Grant, in charge of Host Committee, successfully organized receptions for the overseas and Canadian students and arranged the W.U.S. Seminar at Caledon.
National Affairs Committee
The National Affairs Committee handles the relations between the University of Toronto and other Canadian (and American) universities. This, of course, involves close contact with the National Federation of Canadian University Students.
Last fall, the U. of T. Students' Administrative Council voted to rejoin NFCUS, after NFCUS policies were somewhat overhauled at the national conference in Montreal. The functions of NFCUS include the promotion of student understanding, co-operation among Canadian universities, and representation of Canadian students both within Canada and abroad. The main project of the federation has been a campaign for extension by the federal parliament of the Dominion-Provincial bursary scheme for university students.

World University Service
The purpose of W.U.S. is to unite students, faculty and graduates in a pro- gramme to promote international under- standing, through such activities as seminars and international scholarships, and by arranging opportunities for Cana- dian and overseas students on the campus to come together. W.U.S. also shares in the International Program of Action, which helps provide financial aid for needy university projects throughout the world.
In Toronto, W.U.S. raises funds for its objectives through the Treasure Van and the Share campaign.
A W.U.S. international scholarship has brought Beatrice Amarteifio from the Gold Coast to study at O.C.E. Beatrice has made a fine contribution to University life, and all who have heard her have learned much about her country and her people.
At least two students are selected each year to represent the University at the W.U.S. International Seminar and Study Tours to be held this summer in the Gold Coast, on the theme "Africa and To- morrow". Last summer's four repre- sentatives have made opportunities all year to tell others of the experiences they had in Europe, and the Seminar in Germany.

Obtaining and keeping track of 1800 graduation portraits and biographies is no easy chore. Dave Bernhardt also found time, however, to debate, write, act, sing, and even study. Next year he edits the Vic Strand, after producing a new S.A.C. booklet for freshmen this summer.

More colour than ever before, a feeling on the part of the reader of "marching through" the first 65 pages without halting for formal or austere pages, and a paper dust jacket displaying a blue aerial photo of the snow-covered campus are three features of this edition of Torontonensis. Pages are again laid out in an artistic modern style, and extensive use was made of close-cuts, over-lap- ping, and other engraving techniques. More action photos are scattered through the Clubs and the Sports Sections. The Graduating Classes Section is improved in appearance and readability.
Sales were increased by again offering a bargain price of $4.00 in November. The advertising cam- paign emphasized that the yearbook is produced for freshmen and sophomores in all faculties as much as for graduating students. Torontonensis lives up to its slogan "The all-campus yearbook" and to its title, which means "of Toronto" be- cause of the Latin ending "nensis". More organi- zations have been included, and photos tell of events scattered from Pharmacy on the south to the new home of Law in the north.
This 448-page book is produced entirely by students. The staffers mentioned on these pages and on the section title pages have spent countless valuable hours using their initiative, resourceful- ness, and creative ability to collect material, make up pages, and look after all the routine work involved in such a gigantic task.
Here Trinity reps Molly Davis and Phil Spencer practice their sales technique on Margot Hill. Photos of Margot and the other section editors appear on the title pages.

A permanent recognition of outstanding contribution to Torontonensis "in terms of precious hours, reliability and initiative, fresh and courageous ideas, and pleasant enthusiasm", the Torontonensis pin was awarded this year to Margot Hill, Roger McQueen, and David Bernhardt.

THE VARSITY
"Suffer yourselves to be blamed, imprisoned, con- demned; suffer yourselves to be hanged; but pub- lish your opinions; it is not a right, it is a duty."
With these words on its masthead the Varsity set forth in September to tilt against windmills, government, bureaucracy, the Telegram, religion, and the Students' Council.
Hot water was the result of the Telegram battle: editor Peter Gzowski was fired from a part-time job there for his editorial stand in The Varsity. In a dispute with the St. Michael's Students' Coun- cil, news editor John Gray called Council presi- dent John Leo a McCarthyist for his part in a dispute over the SMC Music and Drama society, and caused concern on the east side of the cam- pus.
It was a good Varsity, students said as they picked up No. 82 in mid-March. Some even wrote to say so. "The Varsity led in student action on the Hungarian refugee problem, and gave good (clean) news coverage all year," they said. "Hope they keep it up."
Other disputes during the year included the usual fall controversy over religion, and a spring tiff at the architecture of the University's new bookstore. Missioner John Stott could just as well have been selling Chevrolets when he arrived on campus for a week's preaching, editor Gzowski charged. A downtown paper denounced this edi- torial on Salesmanship and said the preacher gives his congregation a "spiritual lift". "Piggyback", Gzowski retorted.
The paper had Cathie Breslin this year (who won the Anita Freedman award for creative writing). It had Crawford McNair and Bill Eppridge, until they left for hither parts of the continent.

THE SPORTS BEAT
CATHrE BRESLIN MEETS . . .
Philosophers, eggheads, football coaches, lep- rechauns— none had any secrets this year if they happened to run into a bright-eyed young lady with a pencil in hand and the world at her feet.
Cathie Breslin, fourth year Philosophy and History student at St. Mike's, met more people on campus this year than anyone else, and man- aged to make each one sound as "interesting" and "delightful" as the last. Her column "Cathie Bres- lin Meets . . ." was invaluable to The Varsity in bringing to students many vivid pictures of Uni- versity figures worthy of recognition.
Envious staffers often wondered at her match- less ability to get people talking. Someone once attributed it to her own inability to stop talking. But actually it was Cathie's insatiable interest in everyone and everything that populates "this grand old world" which enabled her to meet anyone from chess-players and pumpkins to Santa Claus, and transmit their charm (and hers) to her readers.
As one of the two Varsity staffers to leave University this year, she will be missed very much. What could be better parting words than her own: "Delightful to meet you, Cathie."

U. of T. CHORUS AND
BLUE AND WHITE
SOCIETY
Chairman Brian Anderson
The purpose of the Blue and White Society is "to promote a university consciousness" among the students of this university. This aesthetic aim is accompHshed by rather down-to-earth, but effective, means.
The Christmas Tree Party held in the Great Hall at Hart House is one of the most enjoyable and inspiring events on the social calendar. This year the direction of the Christmas Tree was in the capable hands of Charlie Greco, Blue and White Special Events Director, who did a splendid job in organizing and co-ordinating the varied programme. He also organized the Float Parade in conjunction with the Homecoming Weekend.
The Blue and White Society doesn't merely create school spirit. It also makes money, and most of the revenue comes from the three dances staged in Hart House on the Saturday nights of the Blue's home football games. Instrumental in the success of these affairs was the Social Director for the Society, Howie Rubinoff. Diva Frosell and her group from St. Mike's did a fine job in decora- ting the gym. Pep Rallies that broke all records of attendance were held every Friday night before the football games.
The Winter Carnival, held in February, closed the Blue and White Society activities for the year. It marked an important initial step toward a new and bigger concept of Winter Carnivals at this University. Mike Berger and the many students who worked under him are to be congratulated for their energetic efforts in the face of many difficulties.

SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA
The University of Toronto Chorus and Sym- phony Orchestra are the only musical organiza- tions which represent the campus at large. They are conducted by Prof. Richard Johnston (chorus) and Prof. Robert Rosevear (orchestra). The student assistant conductors this year are Barbara Williams, O.C.E. (chorus) and Douglas Webb, Faculty of Music III (orchestra). These organiza- tions perform twice a year in Convocation Hall. The concerts present music of all periods including premiere performances of works by contemporary composers.
BLUE AND WHITE BAND
The Blue and White Band performed at all University football games, home and away, and at hockey games, pep rallies, parades, and other occasions.
This year the band, an official organization of the S.A.C., was directed by Laurie Bower (III Music Education), with the assistance of Carlton Sole (III Pharmacy), who created the marching "T", an innovation this year.
Although small in size, the band is a tightly- knit unit. Members include some top-rate musi- cians, and are taken from all faculties.
Doreen Fogarty, with her sparkle and enthu- siasm, added much to the band's displays.

The U.T.D.U. have had a most successful year. Membership on the executive increased this year, as Medicine, Law, and Therapy petitioned for and were granted membership.
The All-Varsity Debating Tournament, held in November, was fairly well sup- ported. Thirty applications were received and the debating was of good quality. Final winners were Harry Arthurs and Mike Rasminski. These two debaters travelled to Montreal in February to represent Toronto in the tournament held in conjunction with the McGill Winter Carnival.
Three debates were held on this campus and each was quite successful. McGill came here in November, R.M.C. in January, and Western in February. The debates were on subjects of current interest.
Model Parliament this year was arranged by the U.T.D.U. Bruce Lister and his committee did an excellent job of setting it up. The change in name from "Mock" to "Model" reflected the change in atmosphere of the parliament this year over last, and all those who participated can attest to its success.
Trials for the U. of T. debating team were held in the last two weeks of October. Judges for the trials were Mrs. Hungerford, a U.C. graduate and a prominent Toronto lawyer; Professor Wright of S.P.S., and Father Lavery of S.M.C. Response was excellent, and eighty-two applications were received, four of these from women.
The following ten students were chosen to form the debating team: John Pierce (S.M.C); Steve Lewis (U.C); Sid Peck (U.C); Gord Coleman (S.M.C); Ken Wyman (U.C); John Woods (U.C); Bob Saunders (Vic); Dave Greenspan (U.C); Alex Havrlant (Trinity), and Mike Berger (U.C) It is interesting to note that three of the women entered in the trials placed eleventh, fifteenth and eighteenth.

They returned by way of Boston University, Harvard, and M.I.T., winning four of the seven debates on the way.
Gord Coleman and Ken Wyman travelled to Pittsburgh in December for a "cross-examination." They received ninety per cent on their debating, but as they were only a two-man team, they could not compete for a place in the standings.
In January, Bob Saunders, Dave Greenspan, John Woods and Mike Berger represented Toronto in the Inter-University Debating League, but were beaten by Osgoode in the first round. Two of this team.

B'NAI B'RITH HILLEL
The B'nai B'rith Hillel Foundation at the University of Toronto is part of a national organization devoted to cultural, religious and counseling service among Jewish students at Canadian and American universities. It is represented on more than 200 campi.
The Hillel Foundation seeks to weld the Jewish student body into a true com- munity conscious of its religious and cultural heritage. It promotes inter-religious understanding and is vitally interested in inter-group relations.
The highlights of the 1956-7 season were addresses by Dr. Israel Knox, Professor of Philosophy, NVU; Mr. Will Herberg, author; Dr. Selig Adler, University of Buffalo; Mr. Maurice Samuel, author. The All University Religious Service — The Jewish Service of Worship was held on Sunday morning, January 13, Great Hall, Hart House. Rabbi Leo Jung was the preacher. The Hillel Area Institute and Con- ference was held in Toronto on Thursday, January 31-February 3. Delegations from 12 Colleges and Universities attended.
The Sabbath eve programmes included a study of "Religious Conflicts in Jewish History". Papers were delivered by students throughout the year. The Tenth Anniversary of Hillel in Toronto was celebrated with a Service of Rededication held on Friday, February 15, and a reception on Sunday, February 17, between 2 and 6 p.m.

It pro- vides an opportunity to share in a community of life and thought in the spirit of inquiry at the University level. It brings together not only Christ- ians, but also many students who are perplexed about the validity of the Christian faith and some students who have agnostic views.
Activities this year included study and dis- cussion groups, lecture series, socials, and inter- collegiate conferences. Each summer many S.C.M. students form work camps, working to- gether in industry or mental hospitals.
The Student Christian Movement is run by the students through a voluntary self-government set-up. At the heart of the movement is the steady conviction that in Jesus Christ the purpose of life has been made clear. Discussion groups and the summer work camps try to relate this to the difficult social and political problems of this be- wildering modern age.

VARSITY
CHRISTIAN
FELLOWSHIP
A noon-hour meeting of the V.C.F.
The Varsity Christian Fellowship is a subsidiary of the International Fellowship of Evangelical Students which traces its history back to 1887 as a movement among Christian students in English universities.
The Fellowship is composed of students whose common interest in the study and practice of the Christian life has brought them together. The prac- tical realization of its aim "To know Christ and to make Him known" is the keynote of every acti- vity.
This year's programme began with a pre-term conference at Guelph and freshman receptions in several faculties. It continued with daily prayer meetings, weekly Bible studies, Saturday night Bible readings, and monthly Sunday evening services. Missionary breakfasts, teas, and in Feb- ruary a special Missionary Conference, all profit- ably presented the state and claims of world-wide missions.
This year the group brought to the campus a number of speakers headed by the Rev. John
Stott, who presented through open lectures and informal discussion groups the personal challenge of the Christian faith.
Social events of the year included a wiener roast, buffet supper, and the memorable Spring Banquet. A Carol Sing was held in December when the group toured the campus.

The International Students" Organiza- tion provides a meeting ground for stu- dents for the expression of their ideas and for that mutual enjoyment which is found only in international good will.
This year membership has risen to 125, of whom one quarter are Canadians. Besides many social events, regular Sun- day evening "Coffee Hours" were held, at which a guest speaker introduces a topic for discussion. Among the most successful events this year were the Santa Claus Dance at Hart House, and the Christmas Party, held at Scott's Tavern. In summer- time, the I.S.O. weekends at Caledon Hills Farm attracted many students from Toronto and from afar.
Understanding among the nations of the world can be best advanced by indi- viduals meeting informally, exchanging views, and learning first-hand about the cultures of other peoples. This is the genuine endeavor of the I.S.O.

F.R.O.S.
Lunch hour and coffee time brings students together for relaxation and conversation
F.R.O.S. means Friendly Relations with Over- seas Students, of whom there are some 500 on our campus. The friendly relations are, however, not too professional or studied. "The heart of F.R.O.S. is its spontaneity," to quote one stu- dent. F.R.O.S. acts as a bridge between the over- seas student and the Canadian student on the one hand, and between the overseas student and the community on the other. Its emphasis is primarily on conversation and the fluid exchange of ideas. For many students, both Canadian and foreign, F.R.O.S. is a favourite place to drop in for coffee and discussion. The University has given F.R.O.S. an office and common rooms on St. George St., where there is a permanent staff from Monday to Friday.

WEST INDIAN
STUDENTS'
ASSOCIATION

Formed in 1954 primarily to encourage closer co-operation among West Indian students and to interpret the West Indian way of life and culture to the Canadian people, the West Indian Students' Association has since progressed steadily.
Over the past academic year, the Association sponsored lectures, debates and dances, and pro- moted a dinner in commemoration of the West
Indies federation. On this occasion Dr. A. Brady, the Head of the University's Department of Poli- tical Science, delivered the feature address. Plans are now being made for a series of trips to the island-territories, the present proposal being to visit Jamaica by chartered flight during December, 1957.
ITALIAN CLUB
The Italian Club celebrated its tenth birthday this year, highlighted by in- creased attendance and expanded activity.
By means of Films. Plays. Speakers, Conversazioni and Dances, the Club socially diffuses a knowledge of Italian culture to the students of the language.
The Climax of the year was provided by Dr. Ernesto Vinci, of the Conservatory, in a presentation of his students singing in operatic and popular vein.

The P.S.C. carries on several cultural, educa- tional and social activities and promotes unity among students with a Polish racial origin. They study the Polish national heritage, with the aim of integrating it into the Canadian society, as a gift to her new-forming culture.
As part of the cultural programme, the P.S.C. has had speakers well versed in Polish subjects. A group of members is endeavouring to master such Polish national dances as the Mazur and the Kujawiak. Debates have been held from time to time concerning problems and situations arising in our own PoUsh-Canadian community. An oppor- tunity is always open for willing members to learn the Polish language, literature and history at the University Extension. Interested ethnic groups have also provided many opportunities to learn Poland's songs and dances more fully.
The main event of the year was the annual P.S.C. ball, which honoured about twenty gradu- ating members. A campus dance was organized in collaboration with the Ukrainian, Latvian, Estonian and Lithuanian Students' Clubs, the pro- ceeds of which went to the Hungarian Rehef Fund.
Conscious of the need for scholarship and of the abilities of her member students, the P.S.C. has maintained a Bursary fund for needy students and has contributed two hundred-dollar scholar- ships annually to deserving students in the Club.

The Chinese Overseas Students' Association
The Association was formed to serve as a bond of fellowship among Chinese overseas students and to promote international understanding and good will. Although a very young association, it has 125 members.
In the beginning of last term the association sponsored a welcoming party for the newcomers. December was a most active month. A variety show and a play were staged at the Women's Union. a chamber music concert was held, and on New Year's Eve a skating party introduced many a new member to that favourite Canadian sport. To celebrate the Chinese New Year, members of the C.O.S.A. and their friends spent an enjoyable day at the Caledon Hills Farm. Most recently a choir has been organized for the music enthu- siasts.
UKRAINIAN
STUDENTS'
CLUB
The Ukrainian Students' Club brings together university students of Ulcrainian origin to examine and evaluate the various aspects of their cultural heritage, and to relax from the furor of study in social activities.
This year, the seventeenth on this campus, was one of evaluation of the club's purposes and the degree of their fulfillment. The constitution was put up to be revised and the various monthly meet- ings were refurbished to permit a minimum of administrative trivia and a maximum of discus- sion on topics and material offered by guest speakers from the university and the "outside" communities.
The club has a folk-dance group engaged in rehearsal and performance. The annual Gradua- tion Ball, held at the Club Kingsway, was a great success.
C.C.F. CLUB
The C.C.F. Club has had a very active and successful year. Stimulated by the model parlia- ment, campus politics received wider and more interested consideration by the student body than in previous years. Opening the campaign in November with the first political convention in the recent history of the University, the C.C.F. elected Stephen Lewis (II U.C.) as its parliamentary leader. The campaign of January saw the campus decorated by posters displaying a Swedish high jumper. This was followed by a leaflet extolling the party's virtues, and an election day Campus Comment. All this, accompanied by a personal campaign, resulted in the C.C.F. nearly doubling
its vote and capturing 27 seats in the Model Par- liament.
The fall term featured the study series "Socialism lA", with leading CCFers addressing the group. M. J. Coldwell, national leader, spoke to a large audience in February while the club groups across the campus got under way, studying various aspects of the C.C.F. policy. C.C.F. club members have spent many hours working in Davenport federal riding in preparation for this year's election. The 1956 executive included Bob Fenn, pres., John Brewin, vice-pres., Russ Irvine, sec.-treas.. Bob van Alstyne, Ron Fyffe, Bruce Bird and Stephen Lewis.

LIBERAL CLUB
Acting on the conviction that the pre-eminent purpose of university political clubs is to stimulate undergraduate thinking about political theory, and convinced that there is a distinctive liberal political tradition in this country, the Liberal Club this year organized small study groups. Thsse analyzed for its members the theories of some of the great men in Canadian Liberalism — Baldwin, Lafontaine, Blake, Cartwright, Dafoe, Laurier, and King.
Of course, the Liberal Club also maintained the traditional club function of pro- viding a platform for prominent party spokesmen, and to this end, such well-known leaders as Farquar Oliver, Ontario Liberal leader, and Paul Hellyer, Parliamentary Assistant to the Minister of Defence, publicly elaborated party policy to club members. In addition, the club has been able to take direct part in the practical side of politics by helping several Liberal candidates organize their Toronto constituencies for the imminent elections.
Club members feel that the most important political event on campus since undergraduates stopped thinking about politics was their model parUament mani- festo, "New Directions in Politics", which succeeded for the first time in rousing the campus from its rut of political lethargy into an intellectual and political furor.

President John LeClaire shows the
Club's party program to Mr. John Diefenbaker, while Janet Kerr and Del O'Brien look on.
The primary purpose of a campus political club is the education of students in the practical and philosophical aspects of party politics. The Conservative Campus Club held evening meetings twice each month where students listened to guest speakers discuss the ideals and prin- ciples of conservatism. These meetings concluded with coffee sessions and dis- cussion periods. The first speaker, Mr. Hamilton, M.P., signalled the beginning of the year's activity with an inspiring address on "Conservatism in Canada". At the height of the Suez Crisis Mr. Mc- Geachy, famed C.B.C. commentator, spoke to a large meeting on the Middle East situation. The Club was host to many other noted speakers, including Mr. Arthur Maloney, Mr. Wilfred Dufrense, and Mr. John Pallett.

Mr. John Pallett addresses a meeting of the Club.
A new feature introduced this year was the "Thursday-noon" discussion groups held every second week. They were very popular and valuable as centres of in- formation and acquaintance.
A highlight of the year was the recep- tion held by the Club for Premier Frost shortly after the new year. Sitting around a blazing fire in the Music Room of Hart House, the Premier talked freely with the students, and did not hesitate to express his opinions on the most controversial contemporary questions.
Students will not soon forget the party convention held in December at Ottawa. To many it was the greatest event of the
year. Wandering from the convention floor to the candidate's hotel headquarters, students were allowed to participate in the inner workings of modern politics. The victory of John Diefenbaker, who had been officially supported by the Club earlier in the year, was a fitting climax to a wonderful week in the capital.
The big event in campus politics is always the Model Parliament. This year the Conservatives won the biggest victory ever won by a campus political party. They formed the government in the Model Parliament for the first time in years, with John LeClaire as Prime Minister.

The Household Economics Club provides an opportunity for all the students in the Household Economics and Household Science courses to be- come better acquainted with each other and with the staff. This year's events included a reception for the first-year girls, a social evening with the
Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry Club, a fund- raising bake sale, and a Christmas party. The annual formal was held in January with a "South Seas" setting. A "careers night" was held in March.
' This past year has been a most successful one for the I.R.C. under the guidance of H. I. Nelson. The club particularly emphasized the lesser known and perhaps more controversial aspects of world affairs. To this end, two speakers were outstand- ing: Mr. Tom M'boya of Kenya who discussed the native African's point of view on the political and constitutional crisis developing in his country and
Mme Magda Trocne of Versailles who gave a new insight into the attitude of North Africans to the East-West rivalry. Besides the regular speakers, the club conducted a most productive seminar on the subject of Nationalism, at Caledon Farm, and a successful and informative trip to the United Nations at New York.

At the opening meeting Mr. Edgar Mclnnis, president of the Canadian Institute of Interna- tional Affairs, discussed the politics and prob- lems of South Africa. In November, a panel of W.U.S. students who spent last summer in Europe discussed "The strength of Communism in Europe today". Early in December. Mr. Frank Underbill, another former staff member, and cur-
rently the curator of Laurier House in Ottawa, talked about the political parties of Britain, the United States and Canada.
During the second term the club heard the 1957 Grey lecturer. Prof. Faucher. Head of the Eco- nomics Department, Laval University. The year ended with an illustrated talk on Japan by Mr. Don Williams of York Memorial Collegiate.
The University of Toronto Psychology Club has again presented to its members an extremely interesting and varied programme of speakers in various fields of applied psychology. Several unique speakers were on hand to stimulate dis- cussions. Proceedings began with an extremely interesting talk by Dr. S. Neiger from the staff of
the Toronto Psychiatric Hospital. The subsequent meetings saw discussions on such topics as "Child- hood Schizophrenia" given by Dr. O. Weininger, of Hamilton, and "Hypnotherapy" by Dr. S. North, also of Hamilton. Dr. R. B. MacLeod of Cornell, present in Toronto to address the Ontario Psy- chological Association Convention, discussed the Undergraduate Curriculum.

COMMERCE CLUB
The Commerce Club is the organization of the men in the Commerce and Finance course. This year, for the first time in history, women were admitted to the club as associate members.
The purpose of the club is two-fold. It is to in- culcate a greater unity within and among the various years of the course on a social and aca- demic level, and to promote closer faculty-student relations. It also acts as a liaison between the academic functions of the course, and the practical business world. Various functions were held this year in line with these aims.
The Freshman Reception, the Float Parade, the dance at the School of Nursing, The Finance Frolic, the Smokers and Luncheons, all gave the members an opportunity to get together socially. The smokers and luncheons served a dual pur- pose, by providing a chance to hear eminent speakers from the business and political fields on topics of current interest.
This year, an Exchange Weekend was inaugu- rated with the School of Business Administration of the University of Michigan. Fifteen students from Michigan visited Toronto for a hockey game, discussions, and a party.
Two students from Michigan are welcomed by Jack Richardson
The Commerce Journal, published annually, is operated under the auspices of the Club. The Journal staff, however, is, for all practical purposes, independent of the club. The contributors to the Journal include leading Canadian business figures, as well as a few of more international interest. Similarly, the articles deal with contemporary topics of business interest with an emphasis on Canadian afi'airs. The Journal is highly regarded in the academic and business worlds, and provides articles of current interest to economists, accoun- tants and businessmen.

The U. of T. Flying Club maintains a policy of fostering both an interest in recreational flying and a furtherance of knowledge of the subject. The club presents both interesting and educational subjects through movies and speakers.
The club is fortunate in having the Island Air- port easily accessible by T.T.C. By arrangement with Central Airways, club members are offered reduced rates for flying time. At the present time the requirements for a private licence are a mini- mum of thirty hours flying time on an approved course.
Members have shown much enthusiasm for the annual Breakfast Flight which takes place during the first semester. Last fall those on the flight had the thrill of seeing Niagara Falls from the most advantageous position of all.
Membership is open to all students, start', and graduates of the University. This year the club was privileged to have Professor W. G. Mac- Elhinney from the Department of Chemical Engi- neering as Honorary President. With the increas- ing popularity of flying as a recreation for its own sake, the club anticipates many more successful years in the future.

President Smith and some of his friends provided the star attractions in the first concert of the Hart House Orchestra last October in the Great Hall of Hart House. Dr. Boyd Neel, Dean of the Royal Conservatory of Music, and the orchestra, played the accompanying music for Haydn's Toy Symphony.
Dr. Neel assumed full command of the orchestra for the remaining four concerts of the season, which included such features as an all-Vivaldi programme just before Christmas. Appreciation of this year's programme was demonstrated by an increase of some ten per cent in the total membership of the Associates, swelling their ranks to over six hundred, of whom some three-quarters are undergraduates.
Chris Wilson, chairman of the Associates, plans to continue the series for its third season next year. Once again, a varied and interesting choice is featured in the programme by the Orchestra, which is largely composed of professional musicians drawn from the ranks of the Toronto Symphony. Plans to expand the size of the orchestra are under consideration.

More surely than ever, this past year, did the cloak of invincible superiority settle about the shoulders of the men and women of S.P.S.
In all fields of endeavour, the mighty Skuleman showed him- self as master of all he surveyed; great were his victories, and minor his defeats. Following in the stead of more subdued and literary thinkers, the "constructive initiation" was again a reality at Skule. A record crop of Freshmen turned to with a will, and did a very creditable job of reconditioning a portion of High Park.
Then again, Engineers lent an air of quiet and refined dignity to the Football games and the goalpost ceremonies. Present there too was the Engineering contribution to the musical arts: the Lady Godiva Memorial Band, Marching Division. The Float Parade during Homecoming Weekend was not without the touch of determined Skulemen, ready to battle to the death lest any unclean hand touch the replica of the beloved Skulehouse.

items, without practical or sentimental value, were the brace of Varsity reporters, and the prominent member of the Engineering Society. Even these brought a goodly price, and everyone went home happy.
The social functions of the year were tremendous successes, one and all. The dance under the sign of the Cannon was truly the highlight of the Fall. Dr. Hanson-Lowe spoke to a full hall during the School Dinner, and the Imperial Roman theme of the School- at-Home provided a wonderful setting for the Spring Formal. As for the Grad Ball, with its "Reward after years of toil", just ask any Grad!
The year's highlight, Skule Nite 5T7. rose above the triumph of last year to even greater heights of musical, artistic, dancing, and acting proficiency and excellence. The efforts of one hundred and fifty people and thousands of hours of work on rehearsal and set- making brought a well-deserved reward in the praise from all who saw the show. Tickets were sold out within a day and a half, and a "sneak preview" was held to satisfy some of the demand for tickets. The show has come a long way since its present form was introduced five years ago, and with Engineering talent and initia- tive, can continue its growth.

DEBATES CLUB

The debates club season has been one of considerable action, growing interest, and good attendance. In interfaculty competition. Medicine. Victoria, School of Nursing, St. Michael's and P.O.T. were the opponents. In these three debates Engineers presented their opinions on such topics as "Anti-Americanism", mar- riage, morality and Arts courses.
The piece de resistance was the staff-student debate on the topic: "Resolved that our lectures should be replaced by a closed circuit TV". A closed circuit TV network was provided for the benefit of the debaters, courtesy of Pye Radio. The debate created wide interest among both staff and students.
A group called the Bullshooters club was begun last fall. Each participant was required to give a three-minute impromptu speech. This club provided much-needed practice in speaking, and shows great future possibilities.
The Chemical Engineering Club has had a very active year. The weekly noon- hour meetings were well attended, averaging over 100 persons per meeting. The two staff-student dinner meetings were also very successful, as was the Third Annual Nurseneering Night, combined with the Faculty of Nursing.
The fall term also saw an invasion by 200 science-minded high school students to see the department in operation for an evening, fully staffed by undergraduates.
After winning the coveted Jerry P. Potts trophy, emblematic of Chariot Race supremacy, the club finished the year in a blaze of glory with a dance held on the last day of exams, in joint sponsorship with the Engineering-Business Club.

The Civil Club had another very successful season. There were several class parties and Held trips, and rumours of the occasional stag have been circulated. The Annual Civil Club Dance was held on February 8, when a capacity crowd packed the Savarin.
Another headline event took place February 1 3, when the Civils gathered for the Annual Civil Club Dinner at the Chez Paree. The talks for the evening were given by five of the fourth-year men. with Doug Hubley taking the top prize. The evening was a good occasion for the undergrads to meet several of the leading men in the engineering field.
The first general meeting of the Club was attended by nearly 350 people, who saw an excellent movie on electronic computers. The social highlight of the year was the Second Annual Fall Brawl which was held at the Embassy on December 6.
In the new term, the Club embarked on a programme of sports competition by years. The basketball and hockey met with such success that a sports trophy was proposed to be awarded annually.
Among individual classes the spirit has also been good. Class parties and friendly rivalry in charitable campaigns all added up to an extremely successful year for the Electrical Club.

Editor Jack Ellis (left) here displays a rare belligerent mood. This photograph, entitled "Lab Dispute", was taken by Paul Kyselka and won the Karsh Trophy.
A new publication has appeared on the Cam- pus literary scene: the 1957 Skule Yearbook. It is several years since the last issue of the Trans- actions and Yearbook was published by the Engineering Society, and during that time engi- neers have had no permanent record of themselves or their activities "outside of the bourgeois Torontonensis".
This year, in keeping with the S.P.S. spiritual revival, publication of a yearbook was resumed. The character of the book has changed somewhat with the passage of time, no technical articles being included, and the emphasis being solely on year- book coverage. The book has several unique fea- tures about it — the most notable being that it is distributed free of charge to all engineers. The content has accordingly been planned to aim at the entire student body and not exclusively the graduates of 5T7. Every class, every major social function, and nearly every sports team is repre- sented by both picture and text.
All of this has entailed some enormous head- aches as the editor successively filled in missing spaces on his carte blanche. For a time the results were so uncertain that the fledgling year- book seemed doomed from the start. However, a firm foundation was at last laid for a long series of yearbooks to come.

BACK ROW: Winston Hay, Denis Stephenson, Ed Kerr, Tom Brzustowski. FRONT: Dagne Vidinsh, John Stewart.
This year's staff managed eight issues out of a possible ten with the addition of a supplementary issue of the Varsity. With the aid of hardworking freshman photographer D. Freedman, there were plenty of pictures to fill up the gaps left by the loss of the joke book. One of the bigger jour- nalistic crusades, that of a new Engineering Build- ing of distinctive design, was scuttled by the announcement of University expansion to the west.
Most of the issues had to do with a Skule event. The Freshmen, The School Dinner, The Cannon Ball, The At-Home, and the Annual Elections, claimed space in one or more. The sight of a fur- tive engineer running down the hall with twenty to thirty copies clutched under his arm attested to the paper's popularity.

FACULTY OF
The Students' Council of the Dental Students' Society is a group of "dentists to be" whose pledge is to lead their fellows at this undergraduate level. While the job is often difficult, all departments have given outstanding service in their endeavours. The social "twosome" of Jack Dale and Manny Norman has had a splendid year and has paved the way for many interesting events in years to come. Dentantics was a smash hit and once again the co-operation organized by Bob Yasny united to set the stage for a series of successful runs in the future.

DENTAL EXTRACTS
While the Dentistry "Scandal Sheet" had many troubles in the embryo stage in 1955, it has now blossomed forth into a regular issue every Mon- day morning eagerly sought by all students. Most of the credit is due to Jim O'Brien who has done an outstanding job in editing Dental Extracts this year. His soundness of judgment in all matters has been amply reflected in the wide appeal of the issue. While Jim is the man who is in charge and takes the blame if anything might go wrong, there are others who deserve a great deal of credit. Jack Tait (assistant editor). Bob Bur- goyne, who runs the reproducing machine, and class reporters have all helped Dental Extracts achieve the success it now enjoys.

:OUNCIL
Dentistry is proud to have Ralph Burgess who has contributed so much to the E.A.C., especially as chairman of a successful campus-wide Share campaign. While many names could be mentioned for their untiring efforts, the credit for a distinctly unified Students" Council this year belongs to its President, Norm Duff. With the new constitution which he helped to formulate, he has done much to keep things running smoothly and has been more than able to stand up to the problems which have come his way.

HYA YAKA
Under the leadership of Bill Witchel the Hya Yaka was a vastly improved publication. Many pictures of students in all phases of the 23 crises started the ball rolling and the interest created there was kept high throughout the book. This year, under the co-editorship of John Anthony and Al Puskas, an attempt will be made to improve on this outstanding issue. The class reps showed keen interest in the magazine. John Woytuck gave a great deal of his time in photography for the Hya Yaka.

Meetings are held fortnightly, with a variety of programmes. The usual business session is followed by a talk from a distinctive speaker, a debate, movies, or a skit put on by some of the members.
This year, the Club has promoted the renovation of the common room, to give it a more comfortable atmosphere.
In association with the alumnae, the Foresters" Club is making preparations for the Golden Jubilee of the Faculty, which will be held in the fall of 1957.

Besides its Theological College, Knox College provides living accommodations for around I 1 5 men. Less than half this number are theology students, or those in Arts preparing for the study of theology. The remainder are students from other faculties on the campus, with nearly every faculty represented. All men in resi- dence are members of the Knox College Association, and this association is the governing body of student life in the College. Men, representing different faculties, are elected annually to fill the various positions.

This year has been one of change for the Faculty of Law. The first big change is the new building which has been taken over by this Faculty. Better library facilities, more common rooms, larger well-lit classrooms, lunchrooms, and a cafeteria are some of the many advantages offered. At this point some mention of the ping- pong room should be made, for it has brought
about a miraculous change. The heyday of chess and checkers is now over. Even that game of all games, bridge, is on the run. Ping-pong has taken over.
In a more serious vein, the opportunity for proper academic work has been greatly increased and the atmosphere of this Faculty has become more professional and studious. Being isolated from the main campus, the students and faculty members come into closer contact. At almost any hour of the day. groups may be seen discussing the problems of the day, legal or otherwise, over a cup of hot coffee.
The Faculty dance in the Fall was a huge success, with skits performed by each year as usual. Law forums have become an institution. We are now well into the second year of these public meetings and have had two forums to date, one on "Labour and the Law", and the other on Segregation and the legal problems in- volved. A well run debating organization helps to keep students occupied around the school, while many are currently to be found in the library working on the Faculty of Law Review. This is the student contribution to legal research, which this year consists of a study of the criminal law power.

MEDICAL SOCIETY
The year has been an interestingly active one for the 820 students in the FacuUy of Medicine. The traditional major enterprises, such as the Fall Dance. Daflfydil, the Medical At-Home, and the Staff Student Smoker were more than successful. But other occurrences will undoubtedly be remembered as well: the retirement of Anatomy's Dr. J. C. B. Grant; Dr. J. V. Basmajian's departure for Queen's; the long-awaited rating in the float parade; Sir Francis Ibiam's pleasurable visit; the many problems presented by the Duncan Room; bimonthly Assembly argumenta- tives at which every possible topic appeared on the agenda from "Compulsory Internships" to "suggested measurements of Medical neck-ties"; and pride in the Medical women's interfaculty athletic prowess.
No one individual or organization wrote the prescription for the success of activities and for the obvious rise in Medical spirit this year. The interest shown by the staff has been phenomenal. The Assembly members have worked con- scentiously. The students have responded religiously. Miss Russell of the Medical Office and Ted Andrews of the Medical Building have been most kind. Dr. A. R. K. Doyle, the Chairman of the Assembly, deserves many thanks.

The Medical Women's Undergraduate Association provides a ligiiter touch to the study of Medicine by arranging a great variety of activities. It links together not only the girls in all six years, but also the future doctors and the graduate women doctors in Toronto.
In late October the Annual Initiation Banquet was held. It took place at the Northgate Hotel and was a great success. Over a hundred undergraduates and women doctors watched the first year Premedical girls and the graduating year as they said the Hippocratic Oath in the annual Candlelight Ceremony. Dr. William Boyd, former Professor of Pathology, and famous for his witty style, gave a highly entertaining talk on "Words".
In November the girls were entertained by the Staff of the Women's College Hospital. During the evening, short talks on all the specialties of medicine were given by noted doctors in the various fields.
A favorite event was the Christmas Party held in Datfydil week. After a delicious supper, Christmas Carols were sung and a collection of gifts for the University Settlement children was made.
In March a Farewell Party was held for the girls of the Graduating year. A memorable verse was recited about each of the graduates, and then each received an engraved teaspoon.

CAMSI
Toronto's CAMSI committee is but one of twelve such committees which play an important part in the medical student's life on each of the campuses of Canada's Medical Schools.
This committee has been an active one, supply- ing not only the well known CAMSI services, but representing the medical student in many ways. CAMSI, however, is more than just an organiza- tion attempting to provide services. It is hoped that its bes^t efforts can be seen in its role as the representative voice of the medical students. This concept was uppermost in the minds of the com- mittee as it dealt with many problems, of which these are two:
First, they prepared an Income Tax Brief which reviewed the injustices of existing income tax provisions as concern university students and which proposed a solution to these problems. This brief was presented to the Minister of Finance, prior to an interview with him, and it was felt that definite progress had been made.
Secondly, the committee has assumed the leadership in investigating the problems of com- pulsory interneship, which will come into being as of January, 1958.

This year for the first time the students of the School of Nursing are pubUshing a yearbook. It is not a Hterary effort, but simply records life in the School during the past year. There are the usual sections such as scholastics, social, athletics, classes, organizations, etc., plus ones on the nursing residence, on hospital affiliation, and on the past history of the School. Of course, the project was not without its problems; for example, the selecting of a title, and the financing by theatre nights and the sale of advertising space.
FACULTY OF PHARMACY
Several major shifts in policy were introduced by the Pharmakon this year. With Year Book House in Kansas City doing the printing, photo offset techniques were introduced into the book.
The advertising was increased, and broken up with pictures of activities to create interest.
Major events at the faculty of Pharmacy, as well as on the Campus, were well presented with a greater use of pictures.

External Affairs, under the guidance of Bev Binder, has done much to make Pharmacy known in other universities the world over. Miss Bialek was chosen to go to Montreal for the Carabin exchange.
An active social program was undertaken, with two dances as highlights for the year.

UNDERGRADUATE ASSOCIATION
The Physical and Health Education Undergraduate Association represents the entire undergraduate population of the School of Physical and Health Education, and guides its activities. Seven of the fourteen representatives on the Association are members of the graduating class, which numbers thirty-one. Mr. J. Morrison is honorary president for the year, and Dr. H. Ebbs, the director of the school, is faculty advisor.
f he class of 5T9 was warmly welcomed on opening day, and a tew days later their initiation was conducted by the sophomore class at Caledon. All the years co-operated to produce one of the best Phys. Ed. floats in recent years. A donation of one hundred and fifty dollars was given to the P. H. E. Alumni Association to aid in the development of a men's scholarship fund. The highlight of the spring term was the annual P. H. E. At Home, held at the Boulevard Club on Feb. 7. The year's activities ended with the Graduate Banquet at Falconer Hall in May.
The increase in the number of first-year students this year is a sign of the future increase in enrolment at the University as a whole. The School of Physical and Health Education is, however, limited in its facilities and at present a sudden period of growth of the course would provide many problems. It was with great interest that the undergraduates heard of the proposed extension of University facilities. With the possibility of at least increased facilities for the women, the School of Physical and Health Education awaits the future with the hope of great development within the course.

UNDERGRADUATE ASSOCIATION
All students of P. & O. T. are automatically members of the P. & O. T. Under- graduate Association. A meeting of the whole student body is held each month to discuss business and current matters of interest, and to enjoy an informal supper meeting, with entertainment such as skits, glee club harmony, debates, and often a guest speaker.
The executive meets twice a month to plan the undergrad meetings and discuss current undergrad business. The Undergrad entertained the McGill Therapy gals for lunch, on the McGill-Toronto football week-end.
The first Undergrad meeting took the form of a "Welcome to Freshies" supper party. At subsequent meetings, each year put on four skits, held a Chinese auction (in aid of a broken blackboard), and had quartet contests, among other things.

Besides the aim of unifying St. Michael's, Lor- etto, and St. Joseph's Colleges, the Student Coun- cil has also been working hard in establishing a new constitution. This year of precedent-setting unity has been successful in all spheres of extra- curricular activities. Out of the lengthy, often heated, sometimes tiring hours of discussion in Brennan Hall has come the pattern which has channelled the interests and efforts of St. Michael's men and women into activities of cultural, social, educational, and athletic development.
The Fall term saw the freshmen and freshies initiated and oriented into the family of College and University. There was the Homecoming Weekend where students gave both time and fun to the making of the float. In athletics the Double Blue competed in such sports as lacrosse, soccer, swimming, and of course, football.
On the social scene, the usual dances were held, with the highlight in January, the most color- ful dance on the campus, the annual At Home. Added to the list of "Study-Killers" this year were the Sodality's Sunday evening movies, Fri- day evening hi-fi concerts, Brennan Hall TV. Despite the extensive extra-curricular program, many students found time to distinguish them- selves in the academic world.

From the resident and day students a Loretta Local Council is elected, to coordinate various activities such as Fine Arts teas, an inter-year debating program. Sodality functions, and a fare- well dinner for the graduates. An annual Retreat for all is held during the first Lenten week-end. On the St. Michael's Student Council, a women's representative provides an official means of par- ticipation in the affairs of St. Michael's as a whole.
Loretta awaits the first steps in the construction of a new residence on St. Mary's Street. By 1958, increased accommodation will enable many more to share in the advantages which Loretta affords to women students of St. Michael's College.
The growth and development of a College place many demands on the student government. The function of St. Joseph's College Council has proved of increasing importance in the life and activities peculiar to St. Joseph's, which has re- tained its status as a College. Fontbonne Hall was opened this year, including Chapel, lounge, lecture halls and rooms for ninety girls. The Presi- dent of the Council is also the Head Prefect, necessarily a resident. The Vice President, a day student, is official representative of the day stu- dents— a new office. Also on the Council are Year Representatives, a Social Convener, and the heads of the chartered societies.

The highlights of the season were vocal recitals by such distinguished sopranos as Florian Cotnoir and Marguerite Ginac.
The instrumental programmes included performances by Caroline Gundy, violinist; Pierrette Lapage, pianist; and the Victoria Jazz Quintet. A unique presentation that proved very popular was a recital by the classical guitarist Eli Kassner.
The A.V.R. cast performed highlights from their pro- duction of Finian's Rainbow, and the talents of the Hart House Glee Club were brilliantly displayed for the second consecutive year. The other vocal combination presented was the Traveller's Quartet of C.B.C. radio and tele- vision.
The dramatic presentations were the U.T.D.C. entry 'Helen's Husband' and a Christmas Concert of reading from the Bible with a choral concert by the Scuola Can- torum of St. Basil's seminary.

Two members of the Senate graced the ranks of the University of Toronto Debating Team: Gord Coleman, who was given the opportunity to inspect Pittsburg for the U. of T.; and John Pierce, who travelled to
his beloved New England among other places. Other notable achievements of the Senate Club included the sponsoring of a dramatic reading by the famous actor Gene Lockhart. This year again, the Basilian International Speech Festival was held at St. Mike's under the watchful eye of the Senate Club. This is a tournament of debate and public speaking which is held annually at the College with high school teams from all over the United States and Canada competing. The grand trophy for this festival was awarded by a former member of the Senate Club, Hon. Paul Martin, Minister of Health and National Welfare.

The Mike is a weekly mimeographed paper pubUshed by St. Michael's S.A.C. Originally planned eight years ago as a bulletin for student information, it has evolved into a paper dealing with newsworthy events on the College campus and into a journal of student opinion. Limited in scope by the presence of a University daily, and by the size of the College, the Mike serves as a source of information on College affairs, es- pecially the activities of the S.A.C, and the other College organizations. It has the secondary pur- pose of providing the students with an opportunity to express their thoughts and opinions on all facets of student life.

Writers Group at St. Michaers College exists for the encouragement and development of under- graduate literary talent. Its members meet weekly to read, discuss, and criticize their own writing. Their work encompasses most fields of literary endeavor: poetry, the short story, and even on occasion drama and literary criticism. The Group is open to all members of the college, and all are free to read their work, criticize that of others, or just come and listen. The chairman of Writers Group is editor of the Gryphon. The best of the material is published semi-annually in the Gryphon. The Group thus provides an oppor- tunity for the beginner to discuss, evaluate, and improve his work, and an outlet for the more ex- perienced writer whose work is worthy of student publication.

In many respects the Co-op is the hub of St. Michael's College. Here students congregate before, between, and after classes for coffee and conversation. A great deal of time is spent in thoughtful discussion, light banter, and pleasant relaxation.
Since its inception in 1947, the Co-op has been very popular. It is a student union, owned and operated by students for students, and has been very successful as a business venture.

CO-OP
Materially, the Co-op has grown by leaps and bounds. Starting in the basement of one of the men's residences, it has moved, step by step, into its present luxurious quarters in Carr Hall. Here, beauty is combined with comfort and utility. The counter and tables are at one end, and the just- so-comfortable lounge is at the other.
This year saw much progress; the awarding of the first bursary sponsored by the Co-op; a sub- stantial increase in gross income and surplus; and the instalment of a juke box.

BOARD OF STEWARDS
This year the Board has been just as busy as in the past. The perennial problem of the parking lot was brought before the Board, and a workable solution was evolved which, we hope, will last until a better one comes along.
Another important issue was brought before an emergency meeting of the Board when the Hungarian Revolution sparked an all-campus programme to aid some of the refugees of university age who picked Canada as their future home. The student body of Trinity College, guided by the Board of Stewards and having the facilities immediately at hand, was one of the first groups within the University to offer aid in the form of room and board for two Hungarian students.
The Board was also concerned with other matters, however. Under its auspices, a successful Freshman week-end was held which helped to mould 6T0 into a strong year. The annual Cake Fight and initiations showed this in every respect. An extremely successful Saint's Reception in the fall and a Staff Christmas Party were organized by the Social Committee. Becauce of the fact that the College assumed the operation of the Buttery this year, it was decided by the Board to amalgamate the Buttery and the Food Committees into one body.
"Saltarae", the College's "news magazine", was periodically published through the year, and a move to strengthen the Editorial staff of this pamphlet was dis- cussed.

This society is tiie main repository ot public speaking and all things cultural within the College. As such it is called upon to foster activities ranging from parlia- mentary debates to the incomparable Conversazione (a dance with a truly un- believable combination of philosophy, society and Trinity).
But again, the Lit Wednesday Night was the centre of the institute's life. Here met the debaters from the Freshman year, St. Hilda's, St. Michael's, as well as old Trinity Graduates. The party struggles superimposed on the ordinary meetings aired questions of segregation, the Suez crisis, pernicious advertising, alternatives to the Liberal party, religious necessity, and Trinity's decay. All this activity soon found manifestation in motions of want-of-confidence in the Government Council. Support was rallied, the motions defeated, and the record of the government vindicated. This left open the way for a more subtle type of political turnover. The whole Council resigned and thus brought on a general election. A new government was founded and the Institute continued relatively unruffled by the strivings of members within its shell.
So passed the Literary year, culminating in the annual dinner with its usual pleasant combination of the enjoyable with the intellectually stimulating.
By now the "Lit" could continue to exist by force of its own tradition. But still the Society exists so that its members can strive to mould it into any form that will meet their present ideals and needs for self-expression. By this process the In- stitute's reward is the realization that, in fact, it has moulded members who become sympathetically aware, intellectually active, and thus perpetually youthful.

ST. HILDA'S COLLEGE MEETING
A rousing Freshie week-end marked the opening of the 1956-57 term at St. Hilda's. Freshies, easily identified by halo and placard, were kept busy the first few weeks with a gay round of receptions, scavenger hunts, and pyjama parties. Formal gowning was carried out with characteristic sobriety, followed by Dubbing, the lighter side of initiation, at which a large freshman year reversed the usual pro- cedure to subject a small sophomore year to the showers.
Other highlights of the fall term included the football game with Vic, which was lost in the traditional manner.
St. Hilda's College.

ST. HILDA'S
This year, tor the first time, a tea was held in the college for Freshies and their mothers. This proved an extremely successful event.
November 15 was St. Hilda's Day, beginning with the celebration of Corporate Communion in the Trinity College Chapel and ending with the annual gathering of alumnae and undergraduates.
During February the graduating years were guest of the Alumnae at a delicious buffet dinner followed by the midwinter meeting, at which Kay Ambrose of the National Ballet gave a very interesting address.
On December 14 there was a winter wonderland at the annual Saints' formal, capably organized by Marion Arneson and a hard-working committee. The spring term was highlighted by a successful S.J.S. and Freshie Dance.
Then came the day of judgement and the venerable Father Episkopon descended upon his wayward daughters. Then, the fearful days of exams were followed by a rather more pleasant retirement to Muskoka and the traditional House Party.
The Board of Stewards of Trinity College, as defined in its own Constitution, is the Executive Committee of the College Meeting (the supreme body of student government in the College) and it concerns itself generally with all policies and their applications within the framework of student government.
Dr. G. Edison has come back again this to be faculty advisor and chairman of the meetings, bringing with him an intimate knowledge of procedure as he was a member of the Board when it was inaugurated in 1935.

Once more the St. Hilda's Literary Society has enjoyed a successful year, which opened with a debate with the men of Trinity on the purpose of a university education. Following this, 5T8 gave an amusing translation of a short play by Moliere, "The Affected Young Ladies". This was an am- bitious effort and the cast managed to catch not a little of the sophistication of the play. The next meeting at St. Hilda's was an invitational debate with the women of U.C. on that topic of perennial interest, "resolved that marriage and a career are incompatible for a woman". Lest the debaters seem invincible, it should be noted that they were downed by the eloquent men of St. Michael's. There was also a lively soph-frosh debate on the relative merits of the general and honour courses.
The next play, presented by 5T9, was a triumph of originality. They presented "Young Goodman Brown", by Hawthorne, narrated and done in exceedingly clever mime. This was a new and

very clever solution to the difficulty of finding suitable one act plays. The final meeting for 1956 was the presentation of the Nativity play from the Coventry cycle, done as usual in Middle English and followed by hot mince pies and carol singing. There were two plays in the spring term. 6T0 gave an amusing vignette of life in a small town and the trials of three women all captivated by one philanderer who remains offstage. The last dramatic production of the season was offered by 5T7 in an attempt to reveal to the younger generation the benefits of culture. They presented three short parodies of Shakespeare. Chekhov, and Tennessee Williams, as outstanding figures in the history of drama. The Annual Lit. Dinner finished off the year in grand style.

The Review's primary source of pride this year is that it has withstood the ravages of time (and, of course, the high costs of production) with fortitude often bordering on heroism. Where other college magazines have decreased the number of issues published each year, The Review will still be greeted with a singular lack of comprehension, five times a year.
Without the humiliation of an if-you-can't-beat-them-join-them attitude. The Review took up the cudgels for a university literary magazine as a result of an article in The Varsity. If our editorial proved nothing else, it made it clear that, in fact, no one, absolutely no one, is interested in such a production. From the response we would imagine that the cudgels could be laid to rest undisturbed for at least twenty years.
This failure could easily have damaged sensibilities as fine as those of The Review Board members, but The Review was enabled to continue undaunted because of a small poem submitted for publication in the February issue — one of those mysterious poems which epitomizes all the characteristics of psuedo-intellectual undergraduate poetry. The general lack of interest delighted the Editor whose confidence in the Board was renewed for extraordinary literary judgement had enabled The Review, if not to detect a fraud, at least to ignore it.

UNIVERSITY COLLEGE
The programme of this year's U.C. Lit. began with the reception of the Freshman class. The highlight of the Freshman weelcend was the evening spent by Toronto students in the U.C. residences. This stay in residence, introduced by the Lit., proved highly successful and will no doubt be continued. Other high spots of the weekend were the barn dance in the Drill Hall, the Soph-Frosh banquet in Hart House and the coffee party with the staff.
The next major undertaking of the Lit. was the U.C. Show "Summer and Smoke" by Tennessee Williams, directed by a U.C. graduate Curt Reis. Although the show was not financially successful, it was widely acclaimed for its artistic merits.
The Arts Ball, held on February I , was one of the most successful U.C. dances in several years. The Howard Ferguson Hall of the Men's Residence was filled to capacity and there were girl violinists to entertain those who ventured into the Roman garden below the dance floor.
The Lit. continued to sponsor the U.C. Parliaments. At times the quality of debate was extraordinarily high. Resolutions of such moment as resolved "that this house will not fight for Queen and country", resolved "that segregation is not the business of this house", and even resolved "that Mary had a little Iamb" were debated.
The perennial problem of the cleanliness of the J.C.R. was solved in part by the forbidding of card playing in the J.C.R. This action of the Lit. roused a brief flurry of controversy but eventually the card players relocated themselves in the depths of U.C. and in the Arbor Room, and again everything became sweetness and light.
The final activity sponsored by the Lit. was the Grad Banquet, at which Rabbi Abraham L. Feinberg was the guest speaker.

THE GARGOYLE
Some of the hard-working staff that contributed to this year's Gargoyle
The UC Gargoyle is published by the University College Lit and WUA with the support of the two Alumni Associations. The "gurgle", which has been in existence for three years, came out seven times during the 1956-57 season.
Its newspaper format gives students an opportunity to develop the skills of columnists, feature writers, drama critics and so on, while its relatively infrequent appearances keep them from being overburdened.
A consistent effort has been made to avoid journalese and to discover the intellectual mean between the campus daily. The Varsity, and the UC literary magazine. The Undergrad, which comes out only once or twice a year.
During 1956-57 the co-editors were Laura Gaunt and A. H. Low. Margaret Stevenson was News Editor; Joan MacDonald, Features; Lorna Hungerford, Literary, Music and Drama; Stu Harvey, Pictures; Les Green, Cartoons; Catherine Dauphinee, Girls Sports; Mike Berger and Bob Hunter, Men's Sports; Pat Redford, The Clubhouse; Saul Merrick, Publicity; Gino Pindari, Accounts.
The staff also worked faithfully. They were: Nola Whittall, Ruta Klavins, Estelle Flesher, Myra Measures, Aino Pisa, Alice Bielesch, Mamie Littlejohn, Murray Elliott, Lionel Willis, Pete Campbell, and John Harasti.

CODY HOUSE
SIR DANIEL WILSON RESIDENCE
"The problem of a residence," says Dean H. I. Macdonald, "is to integrate itself with the life of the college while still maintaining its own identity. The spirit should well up in the residence itself and overllow into the bloodstream of the college."
Under Dean Macdonald's guidance and leader- ship, the men of Sir Daniel Wilson have moved out of their fog-bound common rooms and made their presence felt throughout the campus.
U.C. and the campus as a whole have felt the effect of the new spirit. Five members of the college Literary and Athletic society are members of the residence. In the arts, Bill Davis and Colin Hamilton have been outstanding. Culturally too, the residence has gained attention, for live of this year's Epstein winners have erected their private ivory towers behind the yellow bricks. Art Low of Loudon house was editor of the U.C. Gargoyle this year, and a debator in Hart House. Ray Dunn has done an outstanding job as regular goalie of the Varsity Blues. Ken Weyman and John Woods both won positions on the U.T.D.U. debating team.
A good deal of the new spirit has come from the rejuvenated residence council. This organiza- tion, which consists of the president and one other member of the house, had previously been a more or less mythical organization. But this year, under the presidency of Jim Sawers, the council has given vigorous and positive leadership to the residence.
The Highlight of this year's social life was the residence At Home, which was generally agreed to be the most successful event the residence has yet run.
The council has undertaken a number of im- portant projects, including the residence library. The library received a present of three thousand dollars, which will be applied to filling the now barren shelves. The music rooms have also received closer supervision this year, and the tele- vision room has become a more important part of the life.

Eight and twenty noble, honest faces, duly sedate and intensely erudite: mark the refined, courtly air of Davis, the philosopher; the clear eye and high brow of Irwin, the Hebraist; the dignified composure of Brown, the mathematician. Where else might one find such a constellation of effulgent intellects, but in that ancient and revered seat of liberal studies, Jeanneret House? For here, in the quiet, sober atmosphere of residence life, amid the scholarly disputation of the Common Room, taste and learning are cultivated with unflagging assiduity. Here, in the heart of Philistine Toronto, twenty-eight dedicated souls are constantly procumbent at Minera's shrine.
Yet, though all united in a common love of knowledge and virtue, what a diversity of temperament and demeanour is represented here. Observe, again, the benign, avuncular figure of Sawers; the pensive gravity of Thompson; the cheerful smile of Greco. And what a variety of interests and accomplishments; but modesty forbids me to speak at greater length, and it would indeed be useless to do so, for the reputation of Jeanneret House is known throughout the campus.

WYCUFFE COLLEGE
THEOLOGICAL SOCIETY
The Wycliffe College Theological Society is the representative organization of the theological and pre-theological students.
The society was formed in 1946, to further Christian endeavour in all areas of college life.
Spiritual life within the college is encouraged by the society, and its members have in their association a unity of purpose.
ATHLETIC SOCIETY
The Athletic Society is a gory mixture of the leavened and the unleavened members of the college. It strives to represent as few members of the house as possible, and to promote athletic life on as little expense as possible. Thus the funds may be squandered on such non-athletic affairs as the executive deems necessary for its own sur- vival.
The society's main accomplishment is the "AWAY", which far outdistances the "AT- HOME". The executive fulfilled its constitutional requirements of two meetings a year at the earliest possible date, that its members might return to the more active life of sleeping.
LITERARY SOCIETY
The Literary Society is composed of all men in residence plus those enrolled in theology but not living in residence. It is the governing body of student affairs. The society is modelled along parliamentary lines, complete with governor- general, prime-minister and cabinet (a special appointee this year being that of Minister of War to be in charge of friendly gentlemen's agreements with neighbours across the street). The society sponsored the At-Home, debates, raids on Trinity, and bought at the Share auction Miss Judy Kennedy (Miss Wycliffe in the Winter Carnival).

VICTORIA COLLEGE UNION
This past year was a busy one for the Victoria College Union. There were parties, dances, special lectures, debates, stage shows; in short, something for everyone.
The year started with the traditional Freshman Week-end. The frosh were brought into residence for Saturday and Sunday before the university opened in September. They were given a guided tour of the campus and told what they could expect from college life. The main aim of the week-end was to acquaint the new undergraduate with the opportunities and facilities which the university could provide. This event had, of course, a lighter side which took the form of parties, dances, initiation rites and the usual midnight snake dance along Bloor Street.
The V.C.U. tried something new this year: instead of having the college's social activities run by a central social directorate, each year was made responsible for one big social event. It was hoped that this move would spread the planning and work among more students.
The first and second years were responsible for the Vic Informal in the fall. Anyone who entered Hart House on the night of the dance found himself transported to Venice. The decorations were superb and the music was sweet. Unquestionably the freshman- sophomore combination was a complete success.
December marked the end of an era. For the first time in the known history of the world, engineers and artsmen met in a peaceful gathering. The unique meeting occurred at the Wymil- wood Union, just before Christmas, and was aptly titled, "Peace in the Trenches". It featured a Christmas Carol sing-song, enter-

tainment provided by both Vic and S.P.S., and refresiinients. It was a happy ending for a rather hectic autumn of intensive rivalry.
For some time the faculty members of Victoria have spoken nostalgically of something called the "Little Vic Rink". No one quite understood what they were talking about although apparently many people took that fateful walk down the aisle because of it. This year, the students were finally enlightened, as a brand new skating rink, complete with cushion, was set up on the Vic field. Because of the long cold winter this natural ice rink had a very successful first year and it looks as if it will again become a traditional part of Vic.
The climax of the social year was the Victoria College Formal at Casa Loma. it was presented by the third year and since it took place on Ferbuary 13 it featured a Valentine motif. This dance marked the end of the Period of Fun and the beginning of the Period of Serious Study.

The only qualification in this club is an interest in subjects relating directly or indirectly to Classics. The idea of the organization is to find enjoyment in the company of members of the student body and faculty who share enthusiasm for the people, literature, history, and philosophy of earlier civilizations. For this purpose monthly meetings are held with a programme planned to include such items as talks, discussions, skits, panels and refreshments.
The Vic Debating Parliament argued its way through another season, dis- cussing all sorts of questions ranging from the desirability of co-educational residences to the relation between plumbing and civilization. Interfaculty debates with S.P.S. and St. Mikes were held again. The debate at St. Mikes on the Communist Party in Canada was one of the liveliest. Home and away debates with McMaster University were begun. They were of good quality, but lack of general interest makes their continuance next year doubtful. The impromptu debates un- earthed several talented freshmen from whom more should be heard in coming years.

The members of the Vic French Club enjoy (he opportunity of using their knowledge of French outside the lecture-room. In a manner both serious and light, the Club's purpose is to stimulate extracurricular interest and activity in French. Besides the customary games, songs, and refreshments, the opening meeting pre- sented Professor Rogers of Trinity College, and the now traditional "Girls de Can- Can". Later in the fall came a film on Quebec City Theatre; and in December, Vic and Trinity combined for a Christmas meeting in the "Buttery". January brought a talk by C. E. Rathe on contemporary Paris drama; and in February the Club brought its activities to a climax with an Apache Dance in true French style.
The purpose of the Liberal Arts Club is to provide undergraduates of Victoria College with information on various forms of Canadian art. All meetings are open, and students are invited to participate in discussions with the guest speaker.
This year the club has concentrated on aspects of Canadian literature, inviting H. M. McLuhan to speak on communications in the first term; and presenting a panel of three poets — Jay Macpherson, Douglas Grant and Philip Child, in the second. The club also sponsored smaller afternoon meetings which appeal to a more limited audience, as well as one group for undergraduate writers and another for student composers.

The past year marks the triumphal close of the Whittaker era in the Vic Dramatic Society. For four years the three-act plays have been under the direction of Mr. Herbert Whittaker. His outstanding ability to bring out the finest qualities in student actors has made possible such ambitious productions as Andre Obey's "Noah", Ibsen's "Peer Gynt" and this year's successful "Electra", by Jean Giraudoux.
The past year was also a year of experiment. Director John Douglas threw down a challenge when he chose Strindberg's "Ghost Sonata" for entry in the U.T.D.C. December festival of one-act plays. The play was launched on what must certainly be the most abstract and precipitous set ever designed in the Victoria College drama workshop. It provided great imaginative scope for principals Don Sutherland and Bob Remnant, and for the entire supporting cast.
Undoubtedly the hardest work and greatest rewards attended the production of "Electra". The strong cast and imaginative di- rection was sufficient to do justice to a remarkably fine play.
A reading of Eliot's "Murder in the Cathedra!" and the pre- sentation of an original one-act play by Terry Sheils rounded off the Dramatic Society's activities for the year.

The noon hours concerts were well attended, and especi- ally popular were those given by the Music Club's Broadway Group, a Q^w development in the club, and the Madrigal Group, now of established reputation. All the members retain happy memories of the fall square dance, the skating party, the cast party, the formal, and Dr. Love's calm patience and understanding.

This year Acta Victoriana became (temporarily or not, it is hard to say) a three-issue publication instead of quarterly, as has been the case for several years, because of desire to improve the calibre of the material. And since it seems that the function of an undergraduate magazine is a nebulous one, Editor Gord Sheppard endeavoured to give his own definition to Acta: to act as a vehicle for the writing of the College as a whole including undergraduates, graduates, and staff. This apparent deviation from the norm (using only undergraduate writing) was instituted so that Acta could be a true reflection of Victoria in all her facets, and be of more interest to all her members.
The magazine itself received a brand new format this year, with a return to a size reminiscent of the forties, and the use of a distinctive page-setting. Perhaps this "face-lifting" was undertaken after the renovation of the office which saw the grey cement-block walls, encompassing an uninviting room, transformed into a green den of luxury, replete with carpet, obfuscated light, and chianti bottles.

THE STRAND
Now in its fifth year at Victoria, the Strand is still gaining in popularity. The yellow paper with its scarlet letterhead appears weekly from September through to the end of February (December excluded). Although primarily a VCU publicity agent, it serves many other purposes.
Weekly columns were Terry Awhile by Terry Sheils, Varsi-toria by Dave Bernhardt, and a gossip column by Craig Kamckc. The Strand gave Vic Sports a more detailed coverage in Rick Harrop's column. The Arts, Music and Drama column was very capably handled by .Jan MacDonald and Molly Hewitt. There was also a sarcasm column which enabled the paper to knock college officials, conditions, students, etc. in a humorous manner. This year the three Vic pro- ductions, the Bob Revue, Ruddigore, and Electra were given full coverage.
Each year the Strand becomes a little better known and respected. Next year's editor Dave Bernhardt is expected to carry on this tradition as he intends to make it an even "newsier" newspaper.

Men's Sports Editor ROGER MacQUEEN
Although he was makeup editor of The Varsity last year, Roger had never tackled yearbook layout until he took charge of the 70 pages of men's sports last fall. He started right in collecting as many action shots as possible and learning how to lay them out in an interesting and appealing manner. The fine results and his Toronto- nensis pin award indicate his initiative, pleasant enthusiasm, and ability to learn quickly and work hard.
ELIZABETH COLLINS Women's Sports Editor
Last September, Liz startled editors of the dull unappealing yearbooks characteristic of Toronto high schools by bringing to town a startlingly modern and attractive yearbook from Peterboro Collegiate. Her next step, of course, was to produce a lively varied section for her university yearbook, and so Women's Sports this year is a more interesting section than ever before.

SENIOR FOOTBALL
The Varsity Senior football team under freshman coach Dalt White and his able assistants Jack Kennedy and John McManus, reached the Yates Cup final this season. This was a surprise to many, since Varsity had not been rated in the pre-season predictions of the experts.
The Blues had a record of 4 wins and a tie with Queens when they went into their last game at King- ston. Varsity needed a tie to clinch the Yates Cup. The game was played on a cold, hard field and the Blues were seriously depleted in the game by injuries, losing it 19-12.
Since Varsity had lost the coin toss previous to this game, the sudden death playoff was in Kingston the following week. This game was perhaps the Blues finest game of the year. We virtually had the Yates Cup, going into the last minute of play with the score 2-1. However, Queen's kicked a field goal which deflected off a player's helmet and over the cross-bar, to give Queen's the title 4-2.
This year's club was noted as a second-half team which could return to the field with the desire and drive to win their games. Many of the regulars will be miss- ing next year including Ed Skzrypek, Harry Wilson, Al Riva, Al Watt, Pete Copland, AI Wong and the Mclntyre brothers.
Many of this year's rookies will form the nucleus of next year's club. Included are Tim Reid, John Tattle and Larry Joynt.

TORONTO (Oct. 6) Queen's Jocko Thompson did it again . . . with seconds remaining, he booted a 78-yard desperation kick into the Varsity end zone, where the Blue receiver was rouged, to give the Kingstonites a 7—7 tie . . . Varsity's crunching ground game, aided by some excellent punt returns by Norm Williams and Al Riva, paved the way to the lone Blue touch- down, scored by Captain Ed Skrzypek . . . Gaels' Ronnie Stewart scored for the tricolor . . . Russell and Chorostecxi were the choice of the Varsity defensive players . . . Varsity chalked up 20 first downs against Queen's 10 . . . also gained 213 yards rushing against Queen's 142 . . . looks like an exciting season.

Reid scored the first Varsity touchdown, converted by Bethune . . . but the thrill of the game came when Johnny Tattle intercepted a McGill pass and raced thirty-five yards to give the Blues their winning two points.

TORONTO (Nov. 3) Varsity Blues looked woe fully inept for better than half the game . . but the tide changed midway through the thirc quarter as Blues overcame a 13—7 deficit ant went on to win 14-13 over McGill. The first hall saw a weak Blue team reeling under the superb running attack of the Mcgillmen, who picked uf 140 yards rushing in the thirty minutes . . . but the Redmen were unable to penetrate Varsity's strong aerial defense as Carr completed only two of the eleven passes that he tossed in the firsi half . . . Blues caught fire when Joynt came into the game in the third quarter — they marched down the field with four first downs ... a Joynt-to-Woods pass counted the major . . . the Redmen were unable to overtake Blues in spite of a last minute flurry . . .

Blue players sustained numerous injuries as Bethune, Dave Mclntyre, Miller, Chisolm, and Wilson all left the game . . . Toronto's offensive highlight was a thirty- five yard pass by Wilson to Risk for a touchdown . . . Wilson also scored the other major . . . Blues completed eleven of twenty-eight passes for a total of 179 yards, but had five intercepted.

QUEEN'S 4 — TORONTO 2
KINGSTON (Nov. 17) With seconds left to play, a field goal from twenty-seven yards out by the all too adept Jocko Thompson of Queen's cost the Varsity Blues the Yates cup, as they lost 4—2. Only twice during the entire game were the Ktngstonites successful in moving the ball into Varsity territory, and each time they scored . . . Blues were unable to score on two occasions when they held possession inside the Gaels' IS-yard line . . . Blues' defensive play was a standout, as Choroslecki, Bill Mclntyre, and Stacey broke through time and again . . .

A pyramid?
The Intermediate football team, the "Baby Blues", this year compiled a record of 5 wins and 4 losses in a season which produced some very fine football. Tutored by freshman coaches Gerry Lansky and Roy McMurty, former senior Blue stars themselves, the team showed increasing improvement as the season progressed. Included among the scores were dazzling 23-0 and 28-0 routs of O.A.C. and Western respec- tively. Disregarding the luckless attempts of their Senior counterparts, the Intermediates also downed the Queen's Intermediate team on two separate occasions.
Only a heart-breaking loss to Western at mid-season marred an otherwise perfect record. This year's team produced no outstanding stars, as every member played an important role in the success of the team. However, special mention should be given to such personnel as Al Connelly, Ian Knowles, Ed Butryn, Harry Seeg- millar, Bob Connor, Brian Aston, and Bill Trimble, who indicated their capabilities for possible senior pro- motion.

COPP TROPHY
GENE CHOROSTECKI
In a fine tribute to a great team player, the senior football team this year chose Gene Chorostecki as the winner of the Copp Trophy. This is awarded annually to the player who, in the opinion of his teammates, is adjudged to be the worthiest. A third year medical student, Gene came to Toronto from Humberside Collegiate and has played with the Blues for three seasons. Although he performed almost exclusively with the Var- sity defensive unit and had little opportunity to score, his fierce tackling and uncanny ability in blocking the opposing team's punts earned him the end position on the inter- collegiate all-star team. Varsity fans can look forward to watching Gene's sparkling play for at least two more seasons.
BIGGS TROPHY
NORM WILLIAMS
One of Varsity's most versatile athletes, Norm Williams, was selected by the senior members of the Athletic Directorate as the winner of the Biggs Trophy, awarded an- nually to the undergraduate who has con- tributed most to University athletics.
An Arts student at Victoria College, Norm played both hockey and football for Victoria, and dominated the Senior Intramural track meet, winning the Cody Trophy as the highest individual scorer for four consecutive years. A regular member of the Senior Inter- collegiate Track team for three years. Norm won the Hec Phillips Trophy as the out- standing performer at the 1956 meet.
Last fall in his first try at Senior football, Norm performed brilliantly for the Varsity Blues as a halfback. Despite his football and track activities he found time to act as a member of the Intramural Sports Committee, and President of the Victoria College Athletic Union, during the 1956-57 season.

SOCCER
Once again the Senior Soccer Blues enjoyed a successful season. They retained, for a fourth year, the Western Intercollegiate Championship, but surrendered the Eastern title after a grand battle to the McGill team.
Coached by Bobby Auld, the Blues started the season in fine style by scoring an impressive 10-0 victory over McMaster, then travelled to Guelph to beat the Aggies 5-1, and returned to home ground to defeat the Western Mustangs 9-0. They scored their second win of the season over McMaster by a 5 0 count in Hamilton and then completed the double over UWO in London by downing the Londoners 7 0.
The tide began to turn on November 3. McGill handed the Blues their first defeat in three years by the score of 4 2. In the return match in Montreal the Varsity team was able to force a 2-2 tie game but lost the title by a 6-4 points margin.
However, in turning back the OAC team in the last game of the season by a 4 0 count the Blues assured themselves of the Intercollegiate Western title.
In the schedule of eight games the Blues scored 44 goals while allowing only 7, six of which were tallied by McGill. The leading goal-scorers for the Blues were Billy Webb who scored 12 times, Roger Peretz who notched nine and Gord Czimbalmos who tallied eight.
INTERMEDIATE
This year, by outstanding efforts of the whole team, the Intermediates won six out of the seven games played, compiling a record of 28 goals scored, and 6 goals scored against. Coached by Rod Green, they finished second only to Ryerson, defeating McMaster and Western among others.
Captain Brian Alldrid and Pete Bracken were chief goal-scorers for the team, and they were ably supported by Bobbie Morris, Lloyd McKenzie, Ron Finch, and goalie Arvo Niitengerg. Tribute should be paid especially to coach Rod Green, who took time out from his studies at Osgoode Hall to work with the team.

Again this year the University was represented by two teams in the Senior and Seaway Leagues in Toronto.
In the Senior league, our Senior Blues met tough competition. Although they only managed to win one game, against the Yorks by a score of 35 0, and to tie another, all losses were very closely con- tested. One exhibition game was played with Cornell University at Ithaca, New York, which the Blues won 8-3.
In Intercollegiate play, Toronto was unable to maintain a half time lead of 8 points against McGill
due to a costly injury to Chris Jaques, and lost the game by 2 points, here in Toronto. The return game in Montreal with McGill ended with the Redmen as victors by a score of 6 3, after a ninety minute game.
In only their second season of play, the much im- proved Intermediates ended league play in third position.
After defeating Balmy Beach 15-0 in the semi- final game, the Intermediates tied for the champion- ship with the Nomads by a 3 3 score in a game played in freezing weather.

FALL TRACK
For the first time in four years, Senior track and field laurels went to McGill, who dethroned the Blues in the Intercollegiate finals at Montreal. The high calibre meet featured several former American stars now competing under Canadian University colours. The McGill team edged Varsity 62/2 points to 5I/2 in the hard-fought contest, with the Redmen maintaining their slim lead throughout the afternoon.
The meet's outstanding athlete was Varsity's Norm
Williams who won the Hec Phillips trophy for his efforts. Norm turned in extremely fast times in taking both hurdle events, as well as a first in the broad jump. Jerry Zadiyko and Mai McLeod also picked up gold medals in the pole vault and high jump.
The mile relay was the most thrilling event of the day with the Blues avenging last year's loss to McGill. The team of Drummond, Snider, Gelling and Bruneau ran the distance in 3:28:7.
The Intermediate team which journeyed to McMaster didn't fare as well as its senior brethren, finishing fifth behind the winning O.A.C. crew.

INDOOR TRACK
The University of Toronto in- door track team had a short but highly successful season in 1957. Competing against top U.S. col- lege talent at Michigan, the team, although short on training at the time, turned in excellent perform- ances in their three relay events. At Buffalo State, the Blues were runners-up to the meet winners, Alfred University, with Toronto taking two firsts and three thirds in the college events. The To- ronto squad dominated the Cana- dian Indoor Championship events at Hamilton, with several mem- bers placing against top competi- tion.

The Toronto senior harrier team won their second consecutive intercollegiate across-coun- try crown by soundly whipping a favoured Western squad on Toronto's High Park course. Teams from McGill and McMaster finished well back. The Senior Blues, after a disappoint- ing exhibition season in which Western de- feated them twice, were really up for the one that counted, posting a low score of 24 points to London's 36.
The Toronto quintet was led again this year by sophomore star Bill Varey, who finished second behind McGill's speedy Ron Walling- ford. Freshman Jaan Roos backed up Varey with a 3rd place finish. Bill Gelling placed 7th, while Ron Toop took 12th position.
The Blue's lone exhibition victory was a convincing one, as they routed a highly-touted
Niagara U. fivesome 24-48 after previous losses to Wayne, Western and Bufl'alo State.
The Intermediate Harrier team finished second to a well-seasoned O.A.C. team in the Intermediate final at Guelph. Losing by a close 16-21 count, freshman Jim Snider was the squad's high man with a third place finish. Running as a unit, the rest of the squad placed fifth to eighth inclusive, with Mike Berger, Peter Niblock, Bruce Hughes, and Gord Hueston finishing in that order.

TENNIS
Tennis action this year saw McGill University, the tournament hosts, break the long-term domination by the University of Montreal to win the senior team championship. Playing twenty- tour matches, the champions managed to win a total of eighteen. Montreal finished second with sixteen wins in twenty-lour matches, while Toronto finished third with eleven wins also in twenty-four matches. Laval and Western trailed with eight and seven wins.
In intermediate action. Queens University dominated the seven college loop, taking the team championship as well as the doubles contest. Toronto finished back in sixth position.
University of Western Ontario, team champions in Senior Golf, were successful in de- fending the Ruttan Trophy this year and added to their laurels when G. Knechtel copped the McCaul Cup for the individual championship with a 75 76 for a thirty-six hole total of 151.
The Western team placed three of their four members in first, third and fourth places for a team CyyjLi total of 637, eight points ahead of second place McGill and twelve points ahead of third place Toronto. Queens, the host university, at the Cataraqui course in Kingston, followed Toronto. Montreal and Carleton College followed in that order.
The Varsity second team produced a tie for both the team and indivdual championships. This tournament was eighteen holes of medal play over the Burlington Country Club course at Hamil- ton.

SENIOR HOCKEY
This year's edition of the Varsity hockey Blues was success- ful in winning the third straight Queen's Cup for the U. of T. Starting off their season by beating the University of Montreal 3-1, they finished with a 5-2 win over the same team. In league play, they compiled a league record of nine wins, and three losses, winning all their home games.
Exhibition game spectators saw a strong Blue team blank the Toronto Marlboros 4-0, and edge the St. Michael's Col- lege Jr. A's 4-3. As in the past, the Blues journeyed to the United States to engage American college teams, visiting the University of Michigan, and Michigan Tech., in December. In the four games played the Blues netted a win and a tie. Later a flying visit was made to St. Lawrence University at Canton, New York, where the Blues played their best game of the year, taking a sparkling 7-1 victory.
As a team, the Blues were a "bad bunch", compiling a new team record of 247 minutes in penalties.
Blues' Ray Dunn led the league in goal keeping with the lowest goals against the average. The Dafoe Trophy, awarded annually to the team's selection of its most valuable player, was won this year by Mike Elik, who also led team scoring with 22 points.

INTERMEDIATE HOCKEY
This year's Intermediate Hockey team dis- played their wares in the Toronto Senior Hockey League and emerged with only fair success, placing fourth in a six-team league. But Jack Wheldrake's crew showed promise of developing adequate player material for next year's edition of the Blues. Among those who played outstanding hockey and who are slated for tryouts with the
seniors are Tom Watt, Bob Allan, Don Borthwick and Doug Lougheed.
A saving feature of the Blue Jay's membership in the T. H. L. was that, although the games were shortened affairs, they played a full schedule of 16 games and thereby played more hockey than any Intercollegiate league had to offer.

CURLING
During the past year, the U. of T. Curling Club enjoyed one of its best seasons. Matches took place at the invitation of the Toronto Victoria Curling Club on Huron Street. A round-robin schedule of the ten rinks was completed in Janu- ary. The following month, the two winning skips, Bert Newman and Ken Merklinger, took their rinks to Guelph for the Intercollegiate champion-
ships. In spite of stiff competition, they reached the finals of the main event only to be edged out by McMaster University. Spirit of the "roaring game" ran high throughout the season, and the demand for club membership was indicative of the increasing popularity in high schools and uni- versities of the "old men's game"'.
SQUASH
This year, the squash team enjoyed a busy season. In the Intercollegiate tournament held at McGill, the Toronto team came in second with four victories behind McGill's nine, but ahead of Western's two. Norm Seagram, and Witold Weynerouski, the number one and three players respectively, won single victories each, while Arnold Massey, the number five player, won both
his matches to account for the Toronto total. A team of nine players journeyed to Amherst and Williams Colleges to play closely contested ex- hibition matches, and all local tournaments re- ceived entries from the undergraduate team. Witwit Weynerouski successfully defended his Ontario Junior Championship while adding the Toronto and District Junior title to his laurels.

Although the basketball Blues of 1956 57 were on the losing end of 14 out of 21 games, they did make their presence felt in Intercollegiate play, finishing with a 5-5 record. Nine of these losses were to such top-ranked U.S. teams as Niagara, Ford- ham, and Seton Hall.
The Blues lost their first two league game-; to Assumption by identical 60-5 1 scores, although the Blues outshot the winners in each game. The team hit its winning stride against McMaster and finished the season by winning 3 of their last four games, to clinch fourth position.
The spirit of the club was always high and hit its peak in the game against Western at Hart House. Before a capacity crowd, the Blues knocked ofT the high-flying Mustangs, 84-81. This loss cost Western the league championship, something they have either held or shared for the past I 1 years. Al Vaichulis was red hot that night, scoring 28 points, individual high for the season. Also instrumental in this "big" win were Gary Vipond, Ruby Richman, and Pete Potter.
With the nucleus of this year's club returning next year, John McManus' Blues of 1957-58 should be the powerhouse of the league.
