our former teachers and congenial classmates. The graduates of ’28 wish Kelvin every success and an ever widening in¬ fluence on the life of the community. George Sharpe, 1928. A message? In fifty words. To Kel- vinites from an ex-Kelvinite. Without a subject? Just a message? How to do it? Surrounded by books. Books and bones and a microscope. After all; hu¬ manity. Get the message over. Get back to the books. But we have never regretted the books: when tempered with life. The message is done. W. DonaId Ross, 1931, Medical College, Un. of Manitoba. Hello Kelvin—just a few words of greeting from back in the dark ages when men were men, and women beau¬ tiful, talented and virtuous, etc. With all those attributes we discovered the difficulty of adding anything new to a school which seems to have had every¬ thing in the past. All we can wish is good luck, and keep it up. Cuth. Hopper, 1933, University of Manitoba. GOVERNOR-GENERAL’S MEDAL This medal is given on the principle of the Rhodes’ Scholarship.

H Ks -—-— It gives me great pleasure to greet my old school on the occasion of her twenty-fifty birthday. Since making scientific research my life work, I now know more of the achievements of Lord Kelvin than I did in 1921 when I at¬ tended the school which bears his name. I am sure that Kelvin High School has played and will continue to play an im¬ portant part in education in Winnipeg. L. M. Pidgeon, 1922, (Ass’t Chemist, National Research Laboratories, Ottawa, Canada) “School days are the happiest days of your life,” is a platitude as old as it is false. We, the class of ’22, under the kindly direction of Mr. R. T. Hodgson and his staff, enjoyed our school days to the utmost. If education has served its purpose truly the adult world holds ever greater possibility of happiness. To you, the class of ’37, we wish happy days at school and still happier days to come. Frank R. Garland, 1922. “Anniversaries,” says Mr. Philip Gue- dala, “are great enemies of the truth.” Happily you are spared the glistening account that I could give of that august and portentous era in Kelvin’s history, the mid-twenties. All I have space for is congratulations—the sincere ones of a grateful “old boy.” I wish I could be there to give them in person. R. G. Riddell, 1925, University of Toronto. “Fifteen years ago Kelvin opened its doors.” These were the words that the principal’s message of 1927 commenced with and that the graduating class of Kelvin in 1927 read as they opened the K. T. H. S. Year Book of that year. Later that year ’27 was privileged to have graduation exercises at the same time as the Dominion was celebrating its Diamond Jubilee; this year has wit¬ nessed a happy observance of Kelvin’s Silver Jubilee, and the Class of ’27 ob¬ se rved its own “tin” Anniverstary— celebrating a decade out of school. Those of ’27 who went on to Uni¬ versity are now graduates or still doing post-graduate work — Medicine, Law, Theology, Dentistry, all have at least one representative from ’27. Many are teaching in schools or lecturing in uni¬ versities. From the Atlantic to the Pa¬ cific on this continent and indeed in other countries, there are young busi¬ ness men and happily married young women who proudly claim membership in the class of ’27—and in many cases Kelvinites of the future bless their homes. To the present class, names would mean little. Outside of its special claim to fame by virtue of its “anniversary” attributes and thinking itself a little better than any other class that ever graduated (and what class doesn’t?) the Class of ’27 offers to the present students a preview of their own future. Your activities, lives and interests will be as varied as it is possible for them to be, and ’27 hopes as happy and suc¬ cessful in addition. But you will be unique, if for the rest of your lives you do not honor your school and your teachers and cherish the memory of High School life, spent, so the Class of ’27 still believes, at the best High School in the world—Kelvin. To you all, good luck, and may we meet at the Golden Anniversary of our school, still proud of the cherry and grey, and even prouder of the accom¬ plishments of our fellows in the at¬ tempts each of us must make if this world is to be a better place in which to live. Hector Craig, 1927. Congratulations to Kelvin on its Twenty-fifth Anniversary. Those of us who are its graduates, and who have spent many pleasant and profitable years in its class rooms and on its campus, greatly prize the opportunity of revisiting the scenes of our school days, and of renewing associations with 12
