VI-ILEIJICTIIHY I Dear Girls, It seems impossible for me to real- ize, as I sit at my desk writing to you, that I am about to complete my eleventh year at school. These years, filled with laughter, housepoints, tears, detentions and examinations, are said by some brilliant philosopher who undoubtedly had never gone to school, to be the best years of our lives . On several occasions I have had cause to doubt these words, but I have been told that when I am out alone in the world, I will agree with him whole- JOHANNE VVINTEMUTE and JUDY SKENE heartedlyy Eleven years ago, I never dreamed that I would be Head Girl of a school, and I certainly never thought that I would be Head Girl of two schools now amalgamated. Yet here I am trying to give you some learned words of advice as a Head Girl should. We are faced all our lives with challenges, but certainly this year has presented the greatest challenge of all. When the Boards of Riverbend and of Rupert's Land met last spring to form Balmoral Hall, they had high hopes for the future of this new school. After they had done the paper work, we had to put their dreams into reality and to establish, in the one short year left to us, a school of which we could be proud. just as a paragraph must have unity and coherence to be good, so must a school. just as an army must march ever forward, so must a school. It has been our privilege, and our responsibility, to make the first year in Balmoral Hall's history a good year. We have earnestly tried to do so! It has been a difficult year and yet we have surmounted many obstacles. There are, however, many more to be overcome. These I pass on to you who will return. I pass on also the responsibility of continuing the important task that we have only just begun. It has been an interesting year and I cannot express how much I have appreciated the honour of being your Head Girl. I know that the Head Girl chosen for 1951-1952 will have a wonderful and rewarding year, and I wish her every success. To the girls, prefects and members of the staff, I wish to extend my sincere thanks for the help which they have given me this year, and to Miss Murrell-Wright my deep gratitude for her ceaseless understanding and guidance. Finally, good luck to the graduates, and happiness and success to all at Balmoral Hall! With love, JOI-IANNE WINTEMUTE, Head Girl.
