HEADMASTERS ADDRESS AWARDS DAY — 1970 Ladies and Gentlemen: Welcome to the ninth Annual Presentation of Awards Ceremony at this school. I must express two feelings— first of all delight that so many of you are here and secondly, astonishment that we have over 700 people in this auditorium which we built to accommodate 450. In presenting to you my Annual Report, I should like to begin by making reference to a number of academic achievements which have been a source of gratification to us all. Last year William Holmes, with an examination average of 99 percent, won the Governor-General ' s Medal, which as you know, is awarded to a student achieving the highest scholarship average in the Provincial matriculation examinations. In addition, 14 more boys won scholarships, bringing our total of successes in scholarship competition over the last two years to 25. Worthy of note this year was John Anderson ' s entry to the Victoria University Arts and Science Symposium which was selected for presentation by the author, Jim Stone ' s per- formance in the College Board Exams where he scored 727 in Biology and 800 in Chemistry, the latter being the equivalent of 100 percent, and the achievement of the Debating Team which won the competition open to students of all the In- dependent, Private and Parochial Schools in British Columbia. I am not sure that this should be classified as an academic item, but I must mention that this term we have had an ex- change programme with both Bishop ' s College in Quebec and Lakefield College in Ontario. Two boys from each of these schools have been with us since April, and we have sent two boys to each of them. So far as we are concerned this ex- change has been a huge success. It has been a delight to have had these four young gentlemen with us, and I would like to state publicly that they have been most excellent am- bassadors for their own schools. I understand that our boys too have done well, and certainly reports I have had from 8
