DEDICATION ia oausadd d ul A mine fia teemkkee in the wxmtd ' -i dtoAm, tsmukted dpUe ie Emily Bronte When Balfour opens its doors next September, it will be commencing a new school year without one of its most popular teachers, Mr. Hawrylak, who has been appointed vice-principal of the new Martin Collegiate. Our loss is now their gain. After teaching for two years in Scott Collegiate Mr. Hawrylak was transferred to Balfour where he has been a member of the permanent staff ever since, and for several years the head of the mathematics department. It is fitting that this issue of the Balfour Beacon Year Book should be dedicated to Mr. Hawrylak who had been general advisor to its editorial staff for thirteen years. Under his able direction and guidance our Annual has become one of the finest in Canada. Mr. Hawrylak ' s many contacts with the business firms of Regina have made the task of assembling the Beacon much easier than it otherwise would have been. Besides his numerous school activities Mr. Hawrylak has taken a broad interest in community affairs, both in Service Clubs and in the realm of sport. The Kinsmen Club ranks him among its most enthusiastic members and his executive and organizing ability was recognized last fall when he was made Chief Statistition for the Western Interprovincial Football Union. No reference to Mr. Hawrylak would be complete without mentioning the part which he has played in city bowling. After an enviable record in this sport he is now a life member of the Canadian Bowling Association. He was instrumental, too, in fostering and developing a high school bowling league in the city. A teacher with a genial personality and a breadth of vision far beyond the walls of the classroom, he has those inner resources of a well-stocked mind, which have left their mark on those who have come in contact with him. His familiar, turn around and get to work, will be fondly remembered by all the students he has taught. We realize that Mr. Hawrylak ' s transfer will be a great loss to the school but our heartfelt wishes go with him as he embarks on his new duties and we hope that in the years to come he will carry fond memories of the many friends he made in our school both amongst teachers and students. Before going to press, it is the pleasant duty of the Beacon Staff, both on their own behalf, and on behalf of the student body, to say, Thank you, Mr. Hawrylak, for a job well done.
