eaa'tidution~

On behalf of all of us at Loyola College to whom the pursuit of excellence in education is an unceasing task, I extend sincere thanks for your contributions to the Alumni Fund for Loyola. It is gratifying and encouraging to know that so many of you who have attended the College can appreciate the endless need to improve and augment our facilities.

The College alone cannot achieve our educational objectives; it needs the help that alumni have shown

themselves willing to give. The mounting cost of qualified teaching staff and educational equipment; the surging tide

of student enrolment; the clear challenge we are given to meet the demand for more and more and better and better

graduates - these are the ingredients of educational obligation to which Loyola has committed herself.

Particularly at this time when we appear to be on the threshold of greater opportunities for self-determination under the charter of a university to the English-speaking Catholics of the province, we must look to all the resources we can muster. It is good to know you are there and ready.

~~r; P. G. MALONE, S.J., President.

University Status Sought

for Loyola

Private Bill No . 133 petition­ing for the granting of a univer­sity charter for the English­speaking Catholics of the prov­ince will be introduced at the present session of the Legislative Assembly.

The application for a charter under the name of Loyola Uni­versity is being made by 12 peti­tioners broadly representative of th e Anglo-Catholic community identified in the Parent Royal Commission Report on Educa­tion.

A meeting of the petitioners was held earlier this year with representatives of Marianopolis College, St. Joseph Teachers ' Col­lege, Thomas More Institute and Rev . Leonard Crowley, Cardinal's Co-ordinator of Catholic activi­ties, Paul Gallagher of the Supe­rior Council on Education and the Hon. Eric Kierans.

Following the meeting a state­ment was issued expressing "sympathy and interest" and a spirit of co-operation among all the institutions recommended by

Alumni Beat

Own Record Office calls, home calls, phone calls, class gather­

ings, class managers meetings, letters and bulletins

all formed part of this year's Alumni Fund for

Loyola under chairman Bernie Mccallum.

As THE ALUMNUS goes to press, contributions

have passed $15,000 - the largest alumni annual

giving amount in the history of the Association.

And the money is still coming in from the latest

and final push of the campaign - the telethon.

Pledges from close to 300 additional alumni were

received during the three-day blitz. A battery of

telephones was manned by willing alumni and

students under the command of Bernie and field

secretary Jack McManaman. Hope is high that

these pledges will push results past the $20,000

mark from 25 per cent of Loyola alumni.

The final word is Bernie's: "If you haven't given

yet . . . please do. Loyola needs the support of

all of us."

the Royal Commission Report for participation in the new univer­sity.

Mr. Justice Paul Casey, chair­man of the meeting, reported that the petitioners had invited representatives from all institu­tions to meet with them in future discussions in the hope that in this framework agreement will be reached whereby the four institutions can co-operate in the establishment of the new univer­sity. "

He also reported that: "Com-

3. -

mittees at the academic level would meet on an equal basis to explore and recommend prin­ciples and structures of the new institution."

The petitioners also "expres­sed their commitment to broaden the base of community repre­sentation and participation in the future of governors."

Meetings of academic person­nel and student organizations of Marianopolis, Loyola and St. · Joseph Teachers' College are be­ing held continuously.

Church Needs 'New Breed'

Rev. Michael McManus , B.A. '52, returned to Loyola on Sun­day, April 11, as guest speaker at the annual Alumni Communion Breakfast. He said it brought him a nostalgia similar to that which one could feel upon meeting an old love from whom one had parted on the best of terms and for whom one still felt affection.

That warm and sincere affec­tion between Father Mike and his fellow alumni is mutual, was very evident that morning as they visited prior to and follow­ing the breakfast. He has been away a long time ... too long.

Following his ordination Father Mike was assigned to St. Aloy­sius Parish, then St. Augustine's, and finally to the Bishop's Palace before being sent to Rome, where he spent two years studying Canon Law. In 1962 he returned to Montreal and St. Anthony's was his next assignment as assist­ant to Father Myles Kelly '35.

Before he had time to do much more than air his baggage, he was sent to Ottawa where he has been serving as Secretary to the Apostolic Delegate since Febru­ary, 1963.

The title of Father McManus ' talk was "The New Breed" , a title which aroused curiosity as to whether he meant the young people, the alumni of the future. As it developed, they are part of "The New Breed" , but so is every Catholic.

Father McManus talked about the many changes taking place within the Catholic Church and Catholic way of life; of the cour­age which will be required to ad­just to these changes and to guide them to a sensible, acceptable maturity.

He likened those who will have the courage and strength to help develop this transition to a young-thinking, alive people, not necessarily young in years but people unafraid to try something new. Those who oppose it be­cause it is foreign to their in­herited traditions, are a truly 'old' people, a dull people, afraid of life, afraid of themselves, afraid of change, afraid of the world, he said.

He believes that those who have the late Pope John XXIIl's love of !if e, love of the Mass, and appreciation of what must be done in this rejuvenation of Catholic life as "The New Breed" . .. the ones from whom Cathol­icism will gain its strength.

This year, for the first time, alumni were invited to bring their wives, their older children and their friends. Among the guests at the head table were Father Maurice Stanford , recently returned from Darjeeling, India , and Mr. and Mrs. W. J. McManus , Father Mike's parents.

Mass was celebrated by Father Malone , President of the College , for the more than 100 people

present on a beautiful sunny morning. Permission to use Ring­s ton Hall gave alumni an oppor­tunity to see how handsomely the new residence has been ap­pointed and decorated.

Chairman Don Newton, Class of 1940, was pleased with the turnout and the launching of his class 's 25th Anniversary Celebra­tions. We hope each of their other functions throughout the year will be as happy and suc­cessful.

Alumni-Senior Meeting Proves Valuable to Grads

by BOB LECLERC, B.A., '65

The "Alumni Meet The Seniors Night," a tradition initiated three years ago by the Association, was held again this year on the evening of February 15, in the Loyola College Foyer. Some 50 alumni and 90 to 100 members of the Class of '65 attended the event, which was highlighted by the addresses of President Harry Hemens and Mr. J. Stirling Dor­rance, Loyola College Director of Development.

Following the talks, alumni and senior students met informally and discussed such matters as the role and fun ction of the Alumni Association and , a topic which has captivated the interest of all Loyola enthusiasts, the Col­lege's immediate plans for expan­sion within the context of the fast - approaching University status.

From the point of view of the Class of '65 the evening was most significant. Socially, the old adage "a good time was had by all" could not be disproved -but the evening was of greater value to us as a tete-a-tete intro­duction to the Alumni Associa­tion, its purposes and goals, and to men who are in an excellent

position to offer us information and advice in the career, profes­sional or other, which we have chosen to enter.

The benefits which an indi­vidual can realize from such discussion cannot be stressed enough; at this crucial stage of our lives , the words which we hear from people who are quali­fied to speak, are of paramount importance and significance to us who are on the threshold of ac­tivity in the community beyond the walls of Loyola .

It is also noteworthy to point out th e value which "Meet The Seniors" night has for the alumni members and for the Associa­tion in general. Arguing negative­ly, the absence of such an event would establish an immediate rift between the members and those who are on the brink of grad uation. This would leave the Association in the indelicate po­sition of having to make their first contact with the Class of '65 through a letter, perhaps one of request for a contribution to the "good of Loyola!" By means of an Alumni-Senior evening, the Association becomes something more than a name; letters which

-5-

Harry J. Hemens

we may receive thereafter will in a way be humanized- certain­ly they will not be impersonal and cold.

The success of this year's eve­ning was formidable and timely. It was successful because the alumni who attended showed a keen interest in the particular problems of the graduating stud­ent, and because they transmitted to us a feeling of enthusiasm both for the Association and for Loyola College.

I say that the success was timely because we are at a new plateau in the history of Loyola, where all component parts of the institution must seek closer mu­tual ties. The University Charter will demand co-operation among students, faculty, alumni and ad­ministration. The "Meet The Seniors " night was an overt sym­bol of the Association's desire to achieve this end.

In a very short time, we will be meeting as alumni, perhaps within the new University Cen­ter, which will be constructed . by the fall of 1966. I am happy to say that this meeting will not be an encounter, but a reunion!

The Meaning of Easter. • •

Suffering

Leads to

Understanding

by FR. JOHN O'NEILL

Possibly the meaning of Easter can be completely understood only by those who know suffer­ing. Recently while visiting a friend in the hospital I saw a young mother, babbling incoher­ently, being pushed along the corridor in a wheelchair. My friend told me that as a result of pregnancy a blood clot form­ed causing brain damage and par­tial paralysis . In her lucid mo­ments this young woman knows the meaning of Easter ; her young husband walking by her side knows it.

So, too, the mother and father down the corridor of that hospi­tal who were waiting even after nine weeks for their son to re­gain consciousness after an auto­mobile accident; so, too, the childless wife who watched her husband's life ebb away.

"Fear not - have confidence I have overcome the world. " These are the words of the Risen Christ and only those who have

Father John O'Neill

shared His passion with Him, and who are sharing it still, per­ceive the full meaning of Easter.

God, who became a man in the person of Christ, experienced suffering and death as all men must experience them. But they did not overwhelm Him; rather, he moved through them and be­yond them to a more glorious life.

Because Christ did this we, too, who are other Christs in vir­tue of our baptism, have as­surance that we will never be consumed by suffering and death

- 6 -

but pass beyond them to a more glorious life: "In our baptism we have been buried with him, died like him, so that, just as Christ was raised by God 's power from the dead, we too might live and move in a new kind of existence."

A most frustrating human ex­perience is the inability to lift the burden of anxiety and suffer­ing from another, especially if that other is one we love. Yet where we are helpless, God is not ; where our love is incom­plete , God 's love is complete.

Christ's Victory Source of Our Courage

"How rich is God in mercy, with what excess of love He loved us. Our sins had made dead men of us , and He, in giv­ing !if e to Christ, gave life to us too; it is His grace that has saved us; raised us up too, enthroned us above the heavens in Christ Jesus. "

The early Christian martyrs could not have been sustained in their suffering by the thought that they were giving example to others. Theirs was a deeper conviction; a conviction that while they were united to Christ th ey would persevere in their suffering and be enriched by Lheir death.

St. Paul, too, perceived this. In his lette r to the Romans, he

listed some of his experiences­affliction, distress, persecution, hunger, nakedness, peril , the sword- and he insists that none of these will separate him or anyone else from the love of Christ - " ... no created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God which comes to us in Christ Jesus Our Lord."

Gradually we must become aware of the superiority of the man who has risen again with Christ to life. Not in the sense that we should be presumptuous and overbearing, nor in the sense that we pretend all suffering and sorrow have disappeared, but in the sense that everything, de­spite appearances, is somehow

You can't beat the taste ol

Player's

Player's ... the best-tasting cigarettes.

- 7-

and mysteriously enveloped in Christ 's victory. This is the source of our courage. Christ has rea lly lifted us out beyond time and its powers, out beyond the despair of sin and the burden of flesh and death.

No amount of suffering and anxiety can separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus, in the Risen and Glorified Christ. It is this truth which gives a profound confidence that con­stantly overcomes hopelessness. It means that everything that happens in this world, every suf­fering that man experiences -everything is filled with the vic­tory of Christ, Risen and Glori­fied.

The Sound of Music

Loyola Associates Sponsor Premiere

The Sound Of Music is a fasci­nating, happy and successful movie. But no less happy and successful are a group of ener­getic women, wives of alumni , who share their husbands' inter­est in and devotion to Loyola and its progress and who have organized themselves into a working group for Loyola - The Loyola Associates.

The original few ladies, want­ing to do something constructive, met with Father Malone and learned of the great need for books to stock the new Vanier Library . They decided to under­take the raising of the necessary funds once they had established their object ive. As word gradu­ally spread among their friends, their numbers multiplied with each meeting they held . Mde. Vanier who , like these other women , shares h er husband's in­terest in Loyola, agreed to be their patroness . .. a real moral boost to be sure!

Eventually, these ladies hil upon the idea of promoting the premiere of a movie. It had been done before , but not on behalf of Loyola . It was a first for Loy­ola - but so were th ey - The Loyola Associa tes.

In vestigation brought to light Lhat the bea utiful Trapp fam il y story , The Sound Of Music, would be coming to Montreal in March . After some negotiation an agreement was reached with the Seville Theatre for Loyola Associates to sponsor the open­ing night premi ere of the film.

The maximum amount of money they co uld hope to obtain from th is proj ect was $2,100. Everyone knows how expenses

of printing, mailing, management ea t into profits but these ladies made up their minds not to have this happen to this money. For­tunately they all have good friends in various fields of busi­ness who are well disposed to­wards Loyola, ( especially their husbands) and so printing was done " compliments of someone", postage was underwritten " com­plimen ts of someone else", and the onerous task of stuffing en­velopes was undertaken by the ladies th emselves.

Everyone did their part, but a great deal of credit for extra ef­for t must be given to Mrs . J. L. 0 . Cleary (Jim '35) who managed the distribution of tickets (with a charming littl e note attached giv­ing her a fantastic amount of extra work, but such a friend ly

ges ture!) ; to Mrs. F. Wickham (Frank '50) who served as treas­urer, while s till mothering five little ones a t home; to Mrs. R. J. Brodrick (Or. Bob '43) who han­dled publicity - the life blood of any successful venture; to Mrs. T. P. Slattery (Tim '31) , Vice-President of Loyola Associ­ates , who had no specific task but so ab ly assisted everyone of the Committee where and when needed ; and to their President, Mrs. C. H. W ayland. Unfortu­nately Mrs. Wayland 's husband , Charles, missed being a student at Loyola in his youth , but their son, David , is to be an alumnus in '65. And as for Charles, well , we adopted him a long time ago and we are so very glad he ad opted us too. Even if h e had attend ed here, he couldn ' t mean

A beautiful pre-opening recep­tion was given by Mr. and Mrs. Wayland at the Montreal Bad­minton and Squash Club for a large number of special guests. Among them were: The Rt. Hon. The Lord Killanin and Lady Kill ­anin from Dublin and Spiddal, County Galway, Ireland ; the Irish Ambassador to Canada, Mr. John A. and Mrs . Belton; the Chancellor of McGill University, Mr. Howard I. and Mrs. Ross ; Rev. Sister St. Mary Assumpta , C.N.D. , President of Marianopo­lis College, and the Dean of Studies, Rev.

Casey ('24) ; His Honor, Judge and Mrs. Emmett J. McManamy ('28); The President of Loyola Alumni Association, Mr. Harry J. and Mrs. Hemens ('32); and many others.

Also present at the reception were the Hon . Mr. Eric Kierans ('35), Minister of Revenue, and Mrs. Kierans , but unfortunately they missed the show due to Mrs. Kierans breaking a bone in her leg in an accident just prior to entering the special bus to th e theatre.

Dr. and Mrs. Bob Brodrick ('43), Mr. and Mrs. Don Mc­Naughton ('49), Mr. and Mrs . John O'Neill, Mr. and Mrs . Fred McCaff rey ('41) and Mr. and Mrs .

Redmond Kane were among those who entertained friends at their homes prior to everyone leaving for the theatre in a gala mood.

Due to the ceaseless enthusi­asm of each member of the or­ganization, tickets were sold out two weeks before the event.

Prior to the showing of th e film, Mr. Slattery read three tele­grams received that evening con­gratulating the Loyola Associates and wishing them well. They were from Madame Vanier, Baroness Von Trapp and the star of the film , Julie Andrews.

A very happy person who was also present at the reception and the premiere was the President of Loyola College, Very Rev. Patrick G. Malcine, S.J., especial­ly when the Loyola Associates' · President, Mrs . Wayland, pre­sented him with the cheque for $2,100.

Loyola's Lubomyr Mykytiuk of fourth year Arts receives his award for best supporting actor from Gilles Gasse, vice-president of the Canadian University Drama League, at the end of the festival of one-act plays staged this year for the first time at the College.

Loyola Hosts University Plays

Since its inception in 1948, the Canadian University Drama Lea­gue has steadily provided univer­sity students with the opportun­ity to parade their theatrical talents before the often unsym­pathetic but always experienced eyes of fe llow drama enthusiasts in colleges from the Maritimes to the Western provinces. The annual festival of one-act plays , therefore, has always been a week of excitement and chal­lenge for its participants , and great entertainment for all con­cerned.

by JAMES HASSINGER

The 1965 Festival, held at Loy­ola College for the first time in a decade, was no exception. The 14 plays seen varied greatly in quality of presentation, from near-professionalism to a few examples of abject amateurism. Overall , however, the general standard of the plays was so high Lhat experienced observers were quite willing to call this year's festiva l the best in years.

Much credit must go to Drama Society President Gerry Waters, who co-convened th e eve nt with Joann e Radford from Sir George

- 11 -

Williams. Taking advantage of the newly-renovated facilities at Loyola, they assembled a well­run, well-attended , and very at­tractive set of plays.

The festiva l opened auspi­ciously with the University of Montreal's production of Les Nuits de Chicago; Loyola's entry of Escurial, a play by the Flemish playwright Michel de Ghelde­rode; and an excellent original play, William Cameron's Ascen­s ion, from the University of Toronto.

Montreal papers the next morning were full of praise for the calibre of these productions. In fact, two awards were won that nigh t: Best Supporting Actor went to Loyola's Lubomyr Myky­tiuk of fourth-year Arts; and a special award went to Heinar Piller, the only actor in the To­ronto play.

If the first night had seen some fine drama, however, the second night was a disappointment. Marianopolis, McGill, and Guelph University presented plays that ranged from the stale to the em­barrassingly bad . Even this ex­perience, however, was valuable, as it showed many young actors and directors what not to do. Never again did production val­ues fall this low. In fact, quality was raised continually, by such productions as Western 's Death­watch , which won both Best Direction and Best Production awards.

Jack Cunningham won the award for the Best Original Play with his Wisp in the Wind, which was produced by Sir George Wil­liams University . As always , it seems, this award was the cause for many a hot debate . No one , however, could question this play's essential merit.
