ZAjttewl The date is 1967, the place, Canada. This is a year to remember. As everybody is aware of by now, Canadians this year are celebrating the one hundredth birthday of Canada. I think it is safe to say that every province, city and nearly every town in Canada is plan¬ ning or has planned a Centennial project. The reason for this is to remind Canadians of the year 1967, as one of the greatest Canada has ever known. The largest spectacle nationally of course, is the World’s Fair at Montreal. The people who attend this, I am sure will never forget it. The first thing Winni¬ pegers will think about on looking back on this year, will be the Pan-American Games. When it is all over, Winnipeg will be left with a beautiful new indoor Olympic Swimming Pool, a Cycling Stadium and a Track and Field Stadium to mention only a few. These and other complexes will help Winnipegers to re¬ member Canada’s Centennial year. This fact is also true for the boys attending St. John’s-Ravenscourt this year. When they leave the school and have gone out into the world, they will want to look back on this year and see just what the school and school life was like this year. The easiest way for them to do this, of course, is to open the Centennial Edition of their yearbook. The main goal of the yearbook this year is to give the best cross-section view of this school year. Last year, the grade twelves and elevens were the only boys with their pictures in the Eagle. But this, a special edition of the yearbook, will contain the pictures of every boy in the school; individually in the case of grade twelves, and in class pictures in the case of all the other boys. At the time that we were writing this editorial, the boys in form six had already planned their Centennial project. After discussing several suggested ideas, they decided to replace some of the old glass brick windows in the gym with something more pleasing to the eye; something which would contain some meaning. This project is written up elsewhere in this yearbook, so that the boys will be able to look back on what they accomplished this year. Probably, the event which will remain in the minds of everybody at the school, will be the building of Dutton Memorial Arena. This building will contain one of the largest ice surfaces in North America. This too is written up and along with a sketch of the arena, placed in this yearbook so that the students will re¬ member when this beautiful recreational building be¬ came a part of their school. Along with these major events, it is hoped that you will find in the following pages, the best possible view of the sports activities, the academic achievements of the boys, the theatrical productions, trips and every¬ thing else which the boys of this school involved them¬ selves with throughout this year, 1967, a year to re¬ member. 7
