11 EDITORIAL Twenty-five years ago Arvida was not much more than a few streets and a few camps. This was Arvida's birth, with a grand future ahead of her. The Aluminum industry and the large hydro-electric developments, brought more and more people to Arvidag probably your family with you. Many of our parents helped build Arvida into what it is now, and I am sure that we can be proud of it. During these twenty-five years of Arvida's life another important event took place. This was the birth of the Arvida High School. In the beginning it was the little red school house fa construction campy, then, in 1928, Arvida Intermediate School was created here, and just eight years ago it was raised to the status of a High School. Someday the Arvida High School will expand again. I hope this may be seen by some of the pupils in the lower grades during the next few years. Arvida, this year, celebrates its twenty- fifth anniversary. Twenty-five years of effi- cient service have been given to its citizens by the City Councils and Mayors. Any of us must remember how, during these years the city increased and improved its services to- wards its citizens. Since its birth Arvida has won many honourable awards which show how well it has flourished. Arvida High has a very good record. There have been sixty-nine students in Grade XI to date, and only four have failed to obtain High School Leaving Certificates. Many of the for- mer grads of Arvida High have something even better than High School Leaving Certifi- cates - they are graduates of universities and more advanced schools. This year we five in Grade Eleven hope to graduate, taking with us the knowledge and training which our school offered. But we leave with more than just that. We also leave with practice in follow- ing a Canadian democratic way of life, shown to us by our principal and teachers. I have outlined to you just a few points ot the progress in the life of our city and our school. I am proud of them. But I also look forward to a bigger and better Arvida High, and a bigger and better Arvida. My farewell wish to all of you is a bigger and better life. May we graduates of this year, wherever we find ourselves, add worth to the community around us so that it can be said of each of us, There was his duty to be done, and he did it? ALEX OLYARCHUK, Grade Eleven
