DEDICATION We, the students of Broadview High School, proudly dedicate this, the second “Beam” to Mr. H. J. Leib el Our Principal Mr. Leibel, who has helped mould the destiny of Broadview High School and it’s students, will, in the very near future be leaving Broadview to take up a position at Central Collegiate in Regina. We, who have studied under Mr. Leibel, believe that the High School Yearbook, has never been dedicated to a more deserving person. As a teacher and principal we feel that Mr. Leibel with his patience and understanding wisdom has helped make High School a smoother road to travel. Besides being an excellent teacher, Mr. Leibel has always found time to supervise our extra-curricular activities. Through his supervision, and by example, Mr. Leibel has taught us the meaning of true sportsmanship and school spirit. We, the students, of Broad¬ view High School hope that we will always live up to the standards he has set for us. We hope that this dedication wil l express in a small way, our recognition and appre¬ ciation of a job well done. It is a “Thank You” from each and every person in the Broad¬ view High School for his effort to make us better citizens of tomorrow. We would also like to wish him “Good Luck” in all his future endeavors.

Principal ' s Message Change! We have certainly heard a great deal about it these last few years. Styles, living habits, means of transporta¬ tion and communication, ideas, behaviour, work, the world it¬ self have changed. And, as you have likely heard, the most radical change has occurred in the group commonly referred to as the younger generation. Nor could you find any sizeable group of people who would agree that all this change has been for the good. Sometimes, however, we overlook or fail to recognize change in our immediate surroundings. We fail to take it into account in our work and planning. We have been so accustomed to change that it requires something distant and startling to make us sit up and take notice. In thinking over the short and enjoyable seven years that I have been here, the changes have been astounding, indeed. To exemplify what I mean, take the obvious. Our high school has grown from a population of 47 students in 3 classrooms in 1353-54 to an estimated 143 in at least 5 classrooms next year. Just as the adolescent experiences a few growing pains, so we, too, have experienced and still are experiencing some problematical side effects as a result of our growth. In your student organizations this year you have begun to ask yourselves, “What has happened to the close, almost family spirit that used to exist in our high school?” I think you have realized that the growth in your high school population has brought with it a greater diversification of interest and less personal contact between the various groups. Besides, when all our students came exclusively from the town, you had many contacts with fellow students outside the school. Now our students come many miles to school and your only opportunity for contact is a very limited one during the school day. I feel that you have also recognized the fact that the school’s physical growth has come faster than the growth in experience and responsibility on the part of our students in handling their own affairs. I doubt whether you will ever be able to recapture that spirit you refer to in the way that memory now brings it back to your minds. However, a good part of the problem has been solved by the very fact that you recognize and admit the problem to be there in the first place. You have not as yet learned the best! methods of attacking your student problems and transacting your business with the larger student body. Don’t fall into the trap of accepting change for change’s sake. Be patient. Don’t sacrifice a good solution for a hasty one. You will have to think hard and work hard for the best solution. I don’t think you are as far from it as you may sometimes believe. Might I take this opportunity, too, to congratulate, on behalf of the entire staff, those who have reached the final stage of their education with us. In the work of your choosing and in your private lives, may we wish you health, success, happiness and God’s blessing. —Mr. H. J. Leibel.
