(Dun. Pn tide it ' i MeMaxje A courageous spirit of adventure, that is the finest quality of youth. Before anyone undertakes a great exploration there are large scale prep¬ arations made, such as correct and safe equipment, knowledge of the terrain, capable leaders and adequate guidance. How has the community of Banff prepared us for our future as explorers? Our home life and church activities have lead to the development of our charact¬ ers. Our school has prepared us for the future by giving us an educational background. The people we work and play with have done much towards teaching us tolerence and forming attitudes. The school activities have been many and each one has added another page to our scrap book of adventures. Remember the excitment we knew as winners of our first track or ski meet and the good sportsmanship we were taught to display as losers. Even in school work we found new ventures. Algebra, Trig, French, Physics, Chemistry, all opened new frontiers. Remember the over-night hike to Lake O ' Hara-we considered ourselves real mountaineers when we arrived home-blistered feet and all! Then there was that unforgetable weekend spent at Skoki-a true mountain paradise! The agony of sunburn and the tiring trip made us wish we had never gone-but oh how we would want to go there again! What does the future hold for us, the graduates of today? We are living in a country full of opportunity and chance. We will be pioneers in many fields. Canada is a new country, but with this year marking the opening of the Reign of Queen Elizabeth, promises of a great future are in store for us. As President of this year ' s students union I would like to thank my executive for the support they gave, the teachers for their co-operation and the students for the part they played in the school activities. Our Cornation Pinnacle has had a capable editor and we would like to give her a pat on the back for leaving us a book that will through the years remind us of our years spent in this institution of learning. We had happy school years. May we never forget them. Shakespeare ' s saying, Parting is such sweet sorrow, is suitable for an occasion such as this. Sweet because we have reached our goal-High school Graduation; sorrowful because we must leave behind our old friends and carefree school days.

GRADE Yvonne Stazlcker Eenie, meenie, mynie, moe, Where the heck did Yvonne go? Here she comes through the school gate, It never fails she ' s always late. Bruce Campbell Bruce Campbell owns a beat-up hack Which always gets there but seldom back His ambition ' s a mechanic but lets see, A grease monkey or gas boy he ' ll be. Ken Williamson A mountie Ken may someday be He is Vice Pres, of M.T.C. He ' s the head of the Hot Springs mob But at French he ' s in a fog. Sally Walker Sally is a cute wee girl, She gives Calgary boys a whirl But wait till home her Arthur comes, He ' ll be beating his war drums. Carole Colcloug h Carole is our tall,blond lass, When on skis she will pass, As editor she is really fine But with the boys she strings a line. Charlie Iverson Give Bud a lawn and an old lawn mower And he will keep the things so nice, He wants to Join the Forestry Corps To kill all the naughty plant lice fylvia Thorne Sylvia is our Mount-Teen Queen, With Jefferson she ' s often seen, She cuts a fancy figure on ice, Her skiing too is very nice. Shelia White v Short dark hair and flashing eyes Sheila flirts with all the guys, Reading teacups is her line Making futures work out fine. Neil Bell Jack Leavitt Neil Bell likes to draw, At quarter past four at the school gates, He does this with ne ' er a flaw, Jack L ' s harem sits and waits, A Jet pilot he wants to be Along he comes in his little grey car, Someday he ' ll shoot down an M.-I.-G. Put in your nickle girls, you ' ll go far.
