rinnipzrls Message The Year Book is one of the most ambitious enterprises carried out under the auspices of the Students' Council. Its publication this year bears testimony to the persistence, energy and intelligence of the committee in charge. I con- gratulate them upon their achievement. May I take this opportunity l to register my appreciation not only to the Year Book Committee but to all students and teachers who apply re- sources of time, energy and talent in the planning and exe- cution of extra-curricula ac- ' tivities. For, as Dr. Cole has aptly said, The modern high school is a highly socialized place in which there is opportunity for boys and girls to develop their social interests. I feel sure that most students and teachers look favorably on this trend realizing that it enriches and adds variety to school life. On the other hand, the core function of the school still remains. It is to accumulate and to apply our resources of knowledge-our cultural heritageg intelligence of social relation- ships and world affairsg the findings of modern science. Keen minds, skilled hands and special training are necessary if we are to progress. Alexandra High School is fortunate in having a staff of instructors, by training and personality so Well equip- ped for the task. We are fortunate, too, in having in the student body so many who adequately value this core function and who utilize to the maximum the opportunity the school offers. The Principal appreciates to the full the privilege of being associated with such personnel and in such a Worthy enterprise. This sentiment is tinged with regret that so many familiar faces Will, due to graduation, be absent from these halls next year. To them, au revoir and good fortune. -J. T. Cuyler. 4 nr ll
