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.

Editorial The ’60-’61 school year is almost over now, and the second annual “Beam” is completed. The year-book is again being printed by the Grenfell Sun, to whom we must give credit for their helpfulness and fine work. We hope this year’s copy of the year-book will maintain the same high standard of quality that has always been a characteristic of Broadview High School annuals. This year we are very proud to dedicate our yearbook to our principal, Mr. Leibel. Mr. Leibel has always been a strong supporter of the yearbook and willing to help in any way possible. As the! end of the year comes closer, so does the time when our graduates will leave us. Some will be taking further education, others further training, and some will be going to jobs. We wish them the best of luck in their chosen careers. I would like to take this opportunity to thank those on the yearbook staff for their hard work, those who sold sponsorships and ads for us, those who contributed pictures and write-ups, and everyone who helped in any small way to make our yearbook a success. In conclusion, I would like to wish everyone “the best of luck.” —Don Perrie, Editor.
