Aldershot Secondary School - Leonidata Yearbook (Burlington, Ontario Canada)

Page 13 text:

' 66 is a banner year for our school. Those students entering grade nine in 1961, Aldershot ' s founding year, will graduate. Thus, as you leaf through the pages of this book, keep in mind that another milestone in the history of Alder- shot High School has been reached. A theme of books, representing the desire to learn, has been maintained throughout Leonidata to serve as a constant remin- der. I find the great thing in this world is not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving. Oliver Wendell Holmes very aptly expressed the thought which has motiv- ated the yearbook staff. An illustrated contents page, photographs of student artwork, a more imaginative layout, and an increased number of candids of stu- dents and staff, are indeed signs of pro- gress. To accommodate these innova- tions, the yearbook has been enlarged by sixteen pages. As the school grows, as our experience broadens, so does Leonidata. I offer my sincerest thanks to all those who gave so generously of their time and effort and all those who contri- buted the photographs and literary pieces which made this book possible.

OUR ORPHANS ANNA MARIA PISANI My dearest friends, I have been very pleased with the money you have sent to me and you cannot imagine my happiness to have everything for the school now. I bought a new pinafore too and am not able to thank you enough. My dear friends, I am enclosing a picture (together with my brothers). You will see my sister Paola (who is attending grade 11), my brother Fausto who is five years old and my sister Fiorella, who is only three years old and is a very pretty girl. I hope you will be happy to meet them too. My brothers and sisters are sending you their best regards and fond kisses. Hugs and kisses from your affectionate god-child. ANNA MARIA PISANI My dear friends, With great joy I have received the money you sent me. It came very useful as Father at the moment is not working. YOU are a great help to me and my Mother spends the money in the best way. I am glad to say the results of the first were good. I am sure you will be happy about it too. My parents send you best regards and many thanks. My little brothers send you kisses (you have seen them on the photo). A big kiss from your friend. ANNA MARIA PISANI LEE SUNG JIP My dear sponsors, I wish you a Happy New Year, and you will have all you wish in the New Year. I did not forget to pray for your being richly blessed on the Christmas Day. We are happy, and I thank you very much for the sponsorship grant of 2,500 won this time again. It enabled me to have winter clothes and winter things. I will be in grade 5th, and will be busy for the entrance examination of middle term. My school is closed for winter vacation. I plan to study hard during the vacation. As you help me, so I will try not make you disappointed of me. I think of you much. I pray that you are well as ever. With love, LEE SUNG JIP My dear sponsors. It is lovely spring days here in Korea. How are you all, dear sponsors? We all are well and I re- ceived the sponsorship grant of 2,510 won and this time with the money I could be prepared with all my necessary school things for the new school year which has begun from the 1st March. I am now in grade 5th at school. I will have to study hard for the examination of middle school two years later. My sister is in grade 6th, and she will enter middle school next year. You are helping us, and we get along happily. We thank you very much and we will not forget. Soon my school goes on a school picnic before the spring is over. Praying for your good health, I close here for now. With love from, LEE SUNG JIP 10
