Canada’s communities, both small and large, are busily engaged in projects of many diverse kinds to celebrate our Centennial. The School is no exception and several pro¬ jects are underway or proposed. The Grade 12’s have undertaken to replace the broken glass blocks in the gymnasium which have been un¬ sightly for so long. As these glass blocks are not available now some other form of treatment will be used. The School will also invite repre¬ sentatives from Grades 11 and 12 from as many different ethnic groups in the Province as possi¬ ble to demonstrate how people of all communi¬ ties work together to form the Province of Manitoba. There is, of course, our Dutton Memorial Arena which in itself can be classed as a Cen¬ tennial project and must be one of the greatest sports’ facilities of any independent school. With the opening of the new Arena, Canada’s National Hockey Team will use the rink for its practise sessions, and because of the size of the ice surface, will be better prepared for the Inter¬ national and Olympic Games. These activities point to a strong school, building for the future. L.D. McMurray, Chairman of the Board 4

MudwAtMi Jomoul The mural was an attempt to represent the year ahead in symbolic form. It posed certain questions; it forecast certain events; it made some suggestions. At the time of writing this foreword it is too early to say how closely the mural came to being an accurate representation of S.J.R. 1966-1967. It is not too early however to say that the year has begun with an energy and enthusiasm which promises well for the months ahead. The School is many things to many people. It is a very different place to a Grade 12 boy nearing the end of his last year from what it is to a Grade 1 boy beginning his first. It is different in some way for each boy in between these extremes. The best one can hope is that whatever it means for each of you it means something good and worthwhile. The best one can hope for in a Yearbook is that in looking through it you will find reflected on its pages the School Year as you saw it. May it be a good one — a Centennial Year that we can look back on with pride, a year and a Yearbook that will justify the hard work of Mark Jackman, Paul Leatherdale and many others. R.L. GORDON, HEADMASTER 5
