EDITOR ' S MESSAGE An event which marked the school term 1955-56 as one of special significance was the construction of a new Collegiate. To com¬ memorate this advance in the educational facilities of Altona, the Collegiate Student Council under¬ took to sponsor a yearbook. The yearbook has been planned with this idea in mind: to give a cross-sectional view of the past school year, the activities and achievements of the students and especially the new Collegiate building. Many hours of labor have gone into the plan¬ ning of this yearbook and much credit is to be given to students who participated so willingly. The publication of this book marks a major achievement on the part of the students, and has been responsible for creating a feeling of pride in our school, and also a feeling of unity among its students. The yearbook committee wishes to thank all advertisers, without whose support this project would have been impossible, and also the numer¬ ous persons who gave so generously of their time and advice.
