G8C in memory Mr. Dean Goard, the first Principal of the Vancouver Vocational Institute, passed away on Saturday after a lengthy illness. In 1947 Mr. Goard was appointed as Principal of the V.V.I, and served in that position until 1959. He implemented the new concept of a vocational institute under the Vancouver School Board, which culminated in the opening of the V.V.I, in September of 1949. Mr. Goard went on to become the Principal of the British Columbia Institute of Technology and served as such until his retirement. Mr. Goard has for these many years been one of the strongest supporters of the V.V.I, and during his retirement was a frequent visitor on campus. His name will also be remembered in connection with the Goard Commission on vocational training. This campus will keep and treasure the memory of his work for many years to come. A Memorial Service for Mr. Goard was held on Wednesday, January 8, 1985 in Knox United Church. HWR library film for january 14, 12:00 -- horse drawn magic The Caravan Stage Company is the only horse-drawn open-air theater in the world. Every summer it tours British Columbia and Alberta, bringing live entertainment to communities where television is often the main diversion. In a montage of short sketches, the film shows the troupe on the road and in performance. Hard work and laughter are basic ingredients of this unconventional lifestyle. Awards - Atehns, U.S.A.
