HEADMASTER'S REPGRT This has been a most eventful year for the Kenneys. A new school, a different type of school, a new home, a new city. All of these changes faced us last summer as we left our for- mer school and ventured across the country to Balmoral Hall. We were all very excited at the prospect of the challenges that lay ahead and the many changes waiting for us. I do not be- lieve we have been in any way disappointed and indeed, looking back over the year it has been a wonderful experience for all of us. We are really looking forward to the years ahead. At this time I would like to direct a few words to the members of our Graduating Class. High school graduation is, in a way, analogous to being born. You leave a warm, secure and comparatively comfortable place and enter out into the competitive, fast changing and quite uncertain world of the seventies. But how fortunate you are! F irstly, you just happen to be Canadians. This of course, is a fact that we all too often take for granted. The opportun- ities that lie ahead, in order to meet the challenges of our fast moving society, today's wom- an must possess the inner strength and self confidence which are products of a quality education, together with a motivation to achieve. We whom you have left behind at B. I-I. will be watching your progress closely. We are convinced that you have received a fine education to this point. It is up to each of you to provide the goal-directed motivation necessary in order to take advantage of it, and hence con- tinue your personal development. Now go get 'em gitlsl Set high objectives for yourselves, the highest standards possible in all things. At the same time, try to remember a phrase from Desiderata - Go placidly amid the noise and haste. Good luck to you, and good fortune. R. Martin Kenney, Headmaster.
