 ❖ KFORK writing those words. I saw a copy of Mr. Ilaverty’s greeting to students in trades and engineering. While the figures lie quotes are a total tor the school as a whole, I find on checking that junior college students were on the honor roll in the same percentage as other departments. As most ot you are going to complete work for degree, your present attitude is highly encouraging. Initiative, responsibility, energy, perseverance, and a high sense of honor and duty are quite necessary to those who are being trained for leadership. Your records show that you are developing these qualities, without losing a sense of fun and an active participation in general school life. It has been cs|K cially interesting during the past two years to watch records made l war veterans. Not only did they bring the perspective and maturity gained in main lands and on many seas. but. in the main, they set to younger students a fine example of how youthful enthusiasm and seriousness of purpose can he effectively joined. It is getting to he an occupational disease among educators to prophesy crises nr calamities. Attempting no prophecy. I just feel that you are headed right ami that you will play our parts rightly in the world as you find it. F. II. McMahon THE A G A W A S I E —

W. M. NORDGAAftO XTRA curricular activities such as that engaged in by the Agawasie staff play an important part in the operation of school affairs. More important of course, is the part played by extra curricular activities in the development of personal qualities. The student who participates actively in such organizations unconsciously acquires “Something which cannot, at the time, he measured in terms of anything concrete; but as time passes, the result of such participation become more and more apparent. ou will reap dividends that cannot he had in any other manner. Progressive educators have recognized the importance of extra curricular work to the extent that many phases of it arc being incorporated into the regular school pro-gram. Here at Science time will not permit such an arrangement, hut the value of these activities is definitely recognized. Every student should take an active interest in at least one such organization. The Agawasic staff and all students associated with extra curricular work and organizations are to be congratulated for their interest. Those of you returning next year who did not take part in these activities this year should make it a point to do so in 1947-48. 'To all students of the school year 1946-47 I wish every success and happiness. W. M. Nordgaard THE A G A W A S I E
