Broadview High School - Beam Yearbook (Broadview, Saskatchewan Canada)

PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE The end of a school year will always be welcomed with mixed feelings - joy and sadness, anxiety and relief, completion and commencement. These mixed feelings are probably most intense among the graduates. The class of 63 - a wonderful group of graduates - goes forth to the world with a feel¬ ing of joy at having stayed on the road to the finish; a feeling of sadness at the parting of ways, a feeling of anxiety about the world and one ' s place in it; a feeling of relief that the good fight was fought and is now over; a feeling of completion about a task begun when one was only six; and a feeling of commencement - a feeling that now adult life begins - in agriculture, in industry, in business, in professional training, and in raising a family. These are genuine feelings, and I trust that every member of the class of ' 63 will meet the challenge with confidence, for¬ titude, and dignity. I extend to all the graduates my best wishes for a success¬ ful, prosperous, and happy future. My task in writing this message is doubly difficult because I am leaving too. Broadview High School has accomplished a few modest advances over the past two years, and it might be well to review them: 1) Student activities were expanded and re-organized, and student organi¬ zations became more active and more representative. 2) Grade IX Business Essentials and Grade X Record Keeping were intro¬ duced this year; Grade XI Bookkeeping and Grade XII Economics will be introduced next year. 3) Dramatic activity increased considerably; Grade IX and Grade X Drama¬ tics will be introduced next year. 4) Greater freedom of choice of subjects within regulations and with the guidance of the school, was encouraged. 5) A Guidance Program based on recognized tests was started this year. 6) Greater emphasis on laboratory work in the teaching of science was put into effect. 7) An annual Science Exhibit was initiated as part of Education Week. 8) Increased participation by local communities in matters affecting the welfare of the schoo l, especially by members of the Central Board, was encouraged. 9) A Home School Association was organized at the end of last year. A Driver - Training Program, sponsored by the Association, will be intro¬ duced next year. A Careers Night and increased School Visiting were initiated by the Association. 10) Revisions of subjects are being introduced wisely, starting with Social Studies and following up with Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry. The use of films and filmstrips, as instructional aids, was increased. These modest advances would not have been possible without the co-opera¬ tion of the superintendent, the teachers, the boards, the parents, and the students. I am confident that the students of Broadview High School will continue to avail themselves of the opportunities offered to them by their communities and to strive earnestly to gain in knowledge, skill, character, preparedness, and fellow¬ ship in order to serve themselves, their families, and their communities ably

and constructively in the years ahead. It is not easy to say good-bye to any group of friendly people. Allow me to say that I never had the privilege of saying a more difficult good-bye to a friendlier staff or board than the Staff and Board of Broadview School. M. S. Hariri EDITORIAL Another year is coming to a close and no doubt every student tries to remember what happened on the first day of this school year. We are more apt to remember all the good days rather than the disappointing days, the exciting and humor¬ ous experiences rather than the embarrassing ones. The year¬ book staff and myself hope this year ' s edition of the yearbook will help you to recall the happenings of B. H. S. in 1962-63. This year the yearbook is being printed by Leech Printing in Brandon. We hope this year ' s annual will main¬ tain the same high standard of the Broadview High School annuals of previous years. I would sincerely like to thank those on the yearbook staff for their co-operation and assistance. I ' m happy to have had the pleasure of working with you. To the 1963 Graduates our congratulations and best wishes to those who are furthering their education, choosing careers or whatever you may be doing in the future.
