PRINCIPAL ' S MESSAGE YEARBOOK FOREWORD 13E0-B1 As you leaf madly through these pages to discover what justice the photographer has done your features, and what libel the class scribe has perpetrated against your good reputation, pause to reflect that this Kelvin Yearbook 1960-1961 edition, is the year’s record of yet another chapter in the school’s long and illustrious history. Since you and your fellow students have written this chapter the year’s success is yours. September and June are so close together. Yester¬ day, in September, I met student assemblies of eager, enthusiastic young men and women anticipating another exciting period of school activity. Today, in June, I write a short introduction to the record of that period. Has the year been memorable for you, for the school? You, yourself, can answer best what you have gained and it will be the measure of what you have given. I shall attempt to answer for the school by noting highlights of the year and impressions gathered. Learning is our main goal at Kelvin. Many of you have grown both in academic stature and in living experience. A few I hope have learned from the ex¬ perience of the past year that greater rewards come only from greater effort. On the whole this year’s student body has measured up well to the high scholastic attainment of Kelvin classes of the past. The Grade XII classes of 1960-1961 have estab¬ lished a record in numbers and in overall achievement. It has been a pleasure to have them as our graduate students. In every aspect of school life this grade has provided leadership. An outstanding president, leads in the opera, all-stars in sports teams, editor of year¬ book and school newspaper are but some of the con¬ tributions Grade XII has made to Kelvin this year. These classes have been a steadying influence to the under-graduates and have given a mature tone to the school. I hope that Kelvin has given them the preparation and the confidence which they need to go on to broader fields of study and endeavour. The undergraduates, Grades X and XI, have carried their full share in making 1960-61 a memorable year in the annals of Kelvin. From September to June the all-out performance of the whole school has resulted in one successful project after another. Long years of hard work, careful building and Kelvin spirit, brought the rugby championship back to Kelvin. The girls’ senior basketball championship came back home. Performances of “THE YEOMEN OF THE GUARD,” an ambitious undertaking, brought fresh laurels to the school’s reputation for good music. The “Et Cetera” reached new heights in tone and content under the year’s newspaper staff. Space does not permit individual mention of valiant groups and students who toiled hard only to miss the heights. It has indeed been a memorable year for Kelvin. Kelvin will celebrate its Golden Jubilee in 1961-62. Next year’s classes will have a major role to play in making the celebration a truly golden page in Kelvin’s history. I know that we can depend on them. Let this be my invitation to you, the graduating class, to be with us again on this happy occasion. Farewell and good fortune, until we meet again. R. J. Cochrane, Principal. 4

VICE-PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE TD THE GRADUATES OF KELVIN SEHOOL There are three ways in which to describe your relationships to other people. Two of them are ex¬ tremes, and the third is the mean between them. Under one extreme, anarchy, you may do as you like, provided you can. You are responsible for your actions to yourself alone and are not interested in how they affect other people. Under the other extreme, slavery, you may never do as you like, but only as you are told. You are not expected to show any personal initiative. Somewhere between these two extremes, there is a third way of life—democracy. You have freedom of choice, limited by your responsibilities to others. Don’t place so much emphasis on freedom of choice that you ignore responsibility for its consequences. Always consider what effect your actions will have on others. Your task is to maintain a balance between the freedom of the individual on the one hand, and the welfare of society on the other. We can and do measure your achievement in mathe¬ matics, history and science. There are other more intangible achievements that are not so easily measur¬ ed. As students of Kelvin you have had an excellent chance to obtain high academic achievement. But we, as teachers, are interested in your full develop¬ ment. We feel that in such a school system as ours, you have had ample opportunities to develop mentally, spiritually, physically, and socially. Kelvin is a great school—none better. You hold its good name in your hands, for by your lives will Kelvin be judged. We are confident that its reputation is in good hands. This year’s crop of graduates is one of which we are justly proud. See you next year at our fiftieth anniversary—Good Luck, and Best Wishes. F. A. Hodgkinson, Vice-Principal (June 1961). 5
