INSPECTOR’S MESSAGE It is a pleasure for me to extend to the 1959 graduates of Altona Collegiate my heartiest congratulations for their academic achievement and best wishes to reach for a happy and satisfying career. Never in the history of Manitoba has there been greater opportunity for advancement to higher education, and never has there been a greater need for teachers, engineers, scientists and statesmen. It is my earnest hope that each will raise his sights to the highest. J. W. Butcher 3

YEARBOOK COMMITTEE It was the aspiration of the student body this year to have another yearbook published after several years of idleness in this field. With this in mind, that the public has not seen the activ¬ ities of the Altona Collegiate in the form of a yearbook for quite some time, the yearbook committee has planned it in such a way so as to devote more space to each phase of school life. In this way the parents and the public can be brought to the very threshold of the acivities and achievements of the students. Several weeks of preparation and planning have been spent to bring this book to completion. Many students have given freely of their time and talents to bring to realit y what at first was only an ambition. To these are extended heart¬ felt thanks. Among others who have helped to make this yearbook a success are the advertisers and also the sponsor. The yearbook committee would like to extend its appreciation to these people. We also hope that with the completion of this project the relationship between the public and the school might be much more intimate and through it would like to thank the public for providing us with such a wonderful school and facilities. 2 David Hoeppner, Editor

Toda y the threshold of another major change. I feel sure that I speak f - all the people of the jt when I say we are proud of students of the Altona Collegiate. You large measure responsible for the status niat your Collegiate enjoys in the district today. This is borne out when we look at the enroll¬ ments of two years ago and that of today. You have set an example to others by your success in academic work as well as by your conduct in extra-curricular activities. May this continue in future years. To the graduates of 1959 go our sincere best wishes for their success in their ventures in the adult world of today. To some it will mean a continuation of studies. Others will go forth into the labour force of either the community, the province or elsewhere. Whatever your next step may be, you can be sure that the best wishes of the entire community go with you. To those students who are attending the Altona Collegiate from outside the district—we hope that you are enjoying your stay with us. We have attempted to let you share in all the facilities that are available to our own students. We trust that you will go home from here with no regrets in your choice to attend at Altona and we hope that we will be able to welcome you back again. ' —Mr. Art Braun, Chairman, Altona School Board
