Um www mm' Qezm Halifax... Your penitents, the members of the various teams, the Friday night dancers, your children-the Seniors, with hearts filled with love, admiration and gratitude, dedicate to you this Annual of l947. The activities of a happy year were perfected by your presence, your constant expression of interest in all that touched our days. Those days, filled with events that to our young hearts were breath-taking in importance, are gone. The games that symbolized hard, clean sportsmanship' have been played. The curtain has fallen on The Red Mill. The songs of the Festival are hushed. The Prom is now but a remembered melody and a few petals pressed within a dance program. Graduation is Time's finis to this happiness. We face our Commencement, however, militant in the Faith that you teach, generous toward our brother in the knowledge of the sacrifice you found possible, strong in the purity that you live, wealthy in having your understanding and counsel. We shall remember you always with deep affection and sincere gratitude. THE SENIORS OF i947 7
