FOREWORD The publication of this year book serves to com¬ memorate three important milestones in the history of the Altona Public School. First, the high school grades recorded an enrolment which is larger than that of any previous year. Indeed, it was so large that for a period of some eight weeks there was an enrolment of sixty-four in a single room. Secondly, the new year witnessed the elevation of the high school section to the status of a Collegiate. This came about when a fourth teacher was added to the Collegiate staff. Thirdly, the new year saw the completion of forty years of teaching service by one of the teachers on the staff. We place this milestone in the career of one of our teachers last, not because it merits last position, but for the sake of emphasis. The first two milestones pale in com¬ parison. In this foreword, we would also like to thank the many businesses, institutions, and individuals who purchased advertising space in this year book. We also thank the people who made anonymous contributions. Without this financial assistance this year book could not have materialized.
