4 DEDICATION Bom in Ayrshire, Scotland, Miss Verrier moved to Canada when she was a child. She attended Connaught School, and also received her teacher ' s training in Calgary. Miss Verrier taught at Langevin School before she came to Balmoral in 1952. At Balmoral she taught language, social studies ' and art. Many of the lovely decorations for socials and graduations were made in Miss Verrier ' s art classes and put up in the ' gym ' under her artistic supervision. When asked how she is enjoying her retirement, Miss Verrier said that she didn ' t care for it much at first but is now enjoying herself. It is evident Miss Verrier is not wasting her time, but is using it to the best advantage. While most of us were plowing through slush and snow, she was visiting the majestic Grand Canyon and other beautiful places of the American desert. ■ Miss Verrier has no plans for the immediate future, but is going to take further trips to equally interesting places. It gives us great pleasure to dedicate our Yearbook to Miss Verrier, as she gave of her time and effort during her six years at Balmoral to help us with clubs, activities and academic work. It is a privilege to pay-tribute to a dedicated teacher and a wonderful friend.- - Yearbook Staff - YEARBOOK STAFF , SPONSOR - Mr. Churchill EDITOR-IN-CHIEF - Suzanne North CO-EDITOR - Gayle McCallum CLUBS ACTIVITIES- Gayle McCallum - Linda McAdam SPORTS EDITOR - Sharon Brown - Joan Baird ART EDITORS - Louise Burt, Kay Isaac LITERARY - Marlene Warren STAFF - Arlene Cummins, Vera Murdy, Linda Cathro, Elaine Bramall, Louise Ireland, Claudia Murray, Sonja Hansen, Charlene Fairbanks, Diane Petch.

3 - A CHALLENGE TO ALL - Once in a while, in counselling individual students, have occasion to express a thought that I feel bears repeating to all. For the abilities and the aptitudes with which we are bora we should accept little credit and feel no pride. What we do to use and develop these inherent characteristics is the important thing. The tall, lanky basketball star who naturally moves with .light easy grace and speed often deserves less praise and glory than the second stringer who had to work diligently many arduous hours to overcome a natural clumsiness and lack of co-ordination before he could win a place cn the team. Think of two runners - the first, a natural, wins his event with little training; the second, a lad bom with an imperfect foot, undergoes several operations, then, by sheer deter¬ mination, willpower and countless hours of training manages to place a close second. Which of these runners do you feel should truly be proud? The student who is born with a high academic ability, which places him in the top two out of a hundred, should be able to lead the class with average effort. When he gets A credits on his reports he has less to be proud of than the student of low ability who, by hard work, manages to eke out B grades. The student with average ability who gets on the Honour Roll - and we have had quite a number of them this year - I feel truly deserves to be congratulated. For good looks, for musical talent, for athletic prowess, for artistic aptitude, for academic ability, for all these we should be truly grateful. But they bring with them a responsibility. ' Only when the individual works to develop these inherent gifts to their fullest are there any grounds for pride. - L. C. Pallesen - - TO THE GRADUATES - In the three years that I have been at Balmoral I have had the opportunity of getting to know the majority of the graduating class, particularly those who have taken an active part in the Physical Education program. A great many of you have been a credit to your school in various ways. Some of you have kept the academic standards high by producting the best work of which you are capable. Some have become known for musical and dramatic ability. Still others have excelled in athletics and have been the members of our All-Star teams. Regardless of the field in which you have participated, if you have displayed high ideals of sportsmanship, qualities of co-operation and unselfish¬ ness, a respect for wise discipline and authority, you have not only contributed greatly to your school but have benefitted yourselves to the greatest possible extent. You have been the ones who have made it pleasant for the staff and students with whom you have worked and played. May you continue to grow in these fine characteristics. A. Proden
