Ifo-un, Zdita ' i Saul . ' JfHIS year the citizens of Winnipeg are celebrating the seventy-fifth anniversary of the incorporation of our city. Among those citizens are the students of Kelvin School whose ancestors, with faith and perseverance, built the city in which we live. During the past seventy- five years, with the staunch heart of a pioneer, Winnipeg has devel¬ oped from a frontier town into the fourth largest city in our great Dominion; its high ideals reflect the character and courage of the people who built it, and present a challenge to its citizens today. Have we, now students of Kelvin who are soon to be citizens of Winnipeg, the courage and determination to maintain those ideals? The events of the past year at Kelvin have amply proved that Kelvinites are rapidly developing these attributes of citizenship. You need only read the story between the lines of our year book to realize the truth of this statement. This year, the year book staff, in co¬ operation with the students, is producing a book which, we hope, is symbolic of the willingness of our fellow students to participate in all aspects of school life with enthusiasm and co-operation. The editorial staff has attempted to break away from the conventional pattern of previous books and to assemble what we hope is a more complete and up-to-date record of school life, with emphasis on pictures and articles which will appeal to the reader twenty years from now. Dividing pages, individual pictures of the graduates, and running headings are only a few innovations in our modernization plan. We have made these changes at the suggestion of our school¬ mates. The year book is certainly a stepping stone, even though a small one, over which Kelvinites may pass to more significant achieve¬ ments by which they may help their city, province, or country. Truly, we Kelvinites have been fortunate in having real oppor¬ tunities in all projects of our school and student council to test and strengthen our ability as members of the high school community. What we have attempted to do now as students, we can later build upon and add to as members of the larger community of Winnipeg. Therefore, with an enthusiastic school life as our foundation, let us follow in the footsteps of our ancestors and break new trails which will develop better citizens of which our city and our country may be proud.
