18 RAREBITS The school spirit has been greatly augmented this year. This has been reflected in the attendance at the school games and social functions. The attendance records were broken at the final rugby and basketball games. Other evidences of growth in the right direction are numerous although they have not been mentioned. The citizens and parents have co-operated harmoniously in the promotion of education in all its phases in the school. There has been the reflection of a greater understanding of the school and its activities. Citizens have indicated that they realize that a teacher may discover and direct the power of the student, but cannot give it, that the school and the teacher may quicken a latent faculty, but they cannot create it, that the faculty and power lie within and though stimulated from without their unfolding and growth depend upon self-initiative, self-activity, and self-helpg that prompt and unfailing obedience to authority should be required in students, and that this habit should be well established in the home before school age is reached. With these thoughts permeating from the homes the school standard will never be lowered, but instead will attain higher status. The staff and students have been more than pleased to see the personnel of the High School Board remain unchanged. For three years in succession the same members have given generously of their time and ability in guiding the destinies of the High School. lVlr. I. Heldman, the chairman, has filled his position with the same capability and interest, shown by his predecessors. The Board has established an unique record for length of service, and its work has been greatly appreciated. Co-operation seems to be the key-word in our school. The members of the teaching staff are giving intellectual leadership. They are untiring in their efforts to carry out their duties and responsibilities, and to raise the standard of our school in academic and extra-curricula activities. The majority of our students are dili- gent in all the phases of the school life. and have a real esprit de corps. Personally, I deeply appreciate this fine spirit of loyalty and co-operation on the part of the members of the staff and the student body. ln conclusion, I wish to refer to the excellent work of Rarebizir' staff. This volume of Rarrfufv is larger than the first volume printed last year. The tone and quality of the book are of high order. The work of the editorial staff is not confined to the compiling of the year book alone. The birth and successful inauguration of the school paper, Rt1l'L'!7!.!J' Junior in newspaper form and its appearance from the press -on three different occasions during the school year are another triumph for the year book staff. Edna Robinson, Editor-in-Chief, has a background of knowl- edge adapted to her high office, and shows considerable organizing ability. Her hard-working and efficient staff of officers, and, she herself, are worthy of our praise. Nliss Shaw in her capacity as consulting editor is deserving of mention for her un- tiring enthusiasm and the generous giving of her time and talents for the production of the volume. Likewise the contributions of other members of the teaching staff are appreciated. The members of the Rarebfir staff are to be congratulated on their year's work, and l wish them every success. , IAS. MACF. BATES Q O O

At lastl The 1930-31 Rarefrffm is outl It is with a great sigh of relief that we place before the student body of B.H.S. the second edition of our school year book- Rarefntr. YVe feel that in the publication of this magazine we have passed another milestone in the achievements ofB.H.S., for in it are recorded the activities of another school year-activities many and varied. We fervently hope that this edition of Rarebzilm will be greeted with the same approval as its predecessor, but ofcourse we welcome constructive criticism which may improve the general make-up of the magazine in future years. ln stepping into the shoes of the last year's Rarefrziitr staff we realized that we had quite a task before us if we hoped to maintain the standard established then- but we also remembered our slogan Bigger and Betteru. Accordingly,we have clone our best to make improvements wherever we saw tit. ln glancing through the pages you will notice many new additions such as a French and a Latin page, a Zoo page, a Travelogue, some special articles, a few more cartoons and some more group pictures. YVe trust that you will appreciate these and derive a good deal of enjoyment from them. At this time we wish to express our appreciation to those who have so kindly contributed material for this issue. XVe are gratified to announce that the amount of material submitted for this year's magazine is a decided increase on that received last year and of course we hope that next year the addition will be that much greater. Xve extend our deepest gratitude to our contributors and especially to our advertisers on whom we are absolutely dependent for the existence of Rarebziir. lxlay it be worth their while to help us out in future yearsl
