E. M. Borgai. Principal ' s Message . . . The first year of operation of Branton Junior High School is drawing to a close. I trust that it has left you with a sense of tremendous satisfaction and a thrill of accomplishment. We have had a full year. Your program has been geared to the top in every line of endeavour. In both regular studies, and extra curricular activities you have set up standards that will establish precedents for future years. I wish to con¬ gratulate you upon your private effort toward the progress of the school as a whole. Individually, your success in school can be measured to a large degree by the attitudes and habits you have established. I hope you have learned to be industri¬ ous, co-operative self reliant, and dependable. Pay attention to the bothersome and humdrum necessities of life. Be regular and enthusiastic in all your work and play. These character traits and habits will stay with you and will be assets to you in any walk of life. I trust that everyone of you will have the best of health and happiness in future years. E. M. BORGAL Two

Your Year Book Staff For 1956-57 Editor . Secretary . Members Sports (boys) Sports (girls) George Forster Carol Ann Roberts Donna Duchak Marlene Hedstrom Cheri Ann Karn . Jim Mauro Geraldine Sheppard Editor ' s Message . . . This is the first year of Branton Junior High School and of our School’s year¬ book. It is good that we have been able to get a yearbook under way this year, for now it is possible to have a pictorial history of our School from the day it originally opened. There are many ways in which the yearbook may be improved, and next year’s yearbook staff should start thinking about them early in the term. The two things which should be considered first are, we believe, a good name for the book and better pictures of the students and teachers. However, next year’s staff is bound to have some good ideas on this subject. It goes without saying that much of our inspiration came from our teachers — especially our principal, Mr. Borgal. We hope that future editors and yearbook staffs will be as fortunate as we are, in the teachers who will come to Branton Junior High School. GEORGE FOSTER One
