Head Master's Report 'TT Two strong impressions were left on most of us who attended the Prize Day Ceremonies in June, 1980. First, what an excellent address was given by Christopher Collins, who graduated from the school back in 1963, and, second, what an alert good-looking, impressive group of young men and women made up the graduating class of 1980. While the Board Chairman, Mr. John S. Waldie, was presenting the graduation certificates, I could not help but speculate where the members of this year's Grade 12 will be, and what they will be doing, twenty years hence. Having been associated with Independent schools almost continuously since the age of five-and-a- half, one thing I have long known: never, never to underestimate what the graduates of an Independent school can do, or how far they will go. That's because, during their most impressionable years, they have to survive such an ordeal of homework, examinations, competitive games, and other rigorous experiences, that the rest of their lives by comparison seem easy. The only certain thing is that, twenty years hence, most of this year's graduating class will be astonished how well their friends will have done in their own chosen fields, and even more surprised by their own accomplishments. At the alumni re-union of 2,000 A.D., twhich I certainly plan to attend, either in person or in spiritl, here are some of the individuals I expect to meet: two up-and-coming Federal Cabinet Ministers, both of whom have been quietly tipped as candidates for the Prime Ministership. tHe and she both deny that they have any such ambitions! The President of one of Canada's largest investment firmsg a distinguished professor of medicine, a veterinarian, a dentist, and two general practitioners, an engineer, in charge of the new solar energy project being constructed in outer space, and three criminal lawyers, who were influenced, of course, in their choice of profession by talking with Mr. Chris Considine. Then there is the suave manager of one of the largest hotels in one of the most relaxed, and relaxing, of South Pacific resortsg the dynamic young president of one of Canada's fastest-growing oil companies---she was the first woman to hold such a position, a senior officer in the U.S. Coast Guard, an artist whose works hang in galleries in Toronto, London, L.A., and New York, a Social Scientist doing research in how to occupy men and women now that the normal life-span extends to 140 yearsg and two men and two women, now teachers, back at St. Michaels University School. They periodically remind the boys and girls of 2000 A.D. that the school reached its peak in 1980. Indeed, all those at the Alumni Reunion felt, and their old Headmaster agreed with them, that the Grad Class of 1980 represented a vintage year. John Schaffter
