J eadmaAter A foreword ( fe-O For fifty years our school has stood at 120 Brant Avenue. During this time several additions to the original building have made possible the inclusion of Vocational Courses along with the General Course, so that it is to-day a truly composite school. In this period thousands have received their secondary education here. Some have achieved feime in other lands, some have contributed greatly to Canada ' s life, but the greatest niamber have stayed to make Brantford into the fine community that it is. While at the B. C. I. V. S. they established a tradition and loyalty which many schools might envy. This loyalty to school and community is a precious commodity. Every commimity needs citizens with positive faith in its future. I trust that the B. C. I. V. S. will always maintain this tradition and take the lead in developing citizens for a better world, a better Canada, and a better Brantford. B. W. Switzer

i lce -J- i fincipal A foreword It is our privilege to live in a democracy. A precious right inherent in the democratic process is the opportunity, readily available, to acquire an education. This right carries with it an obligation to become an active and informed citizen in our democracy. Thus it becomes incumbent upon us to accept our respons- ibilities and engage seriously in the process of education. Only by so doing will we equip ourselves to live a satisfying and happy life and become the type of citizen upon which our community depends. The traditional scholarship associated with our school makes this brief message but a reminder to most of the student body. May it serve the much more important purpose of driving home to a minority of the students the need to improve their work habits, to lift their sights higher, and to engage more effectively and sincerely in the educational opportunities offered. Only in this way may they participate more actively in our increasingly complex society and enjoy the rewards it offers. R. G. Wilson.
