fKmwjgi ello! Welcome to Memini ’79. I’m your friendly “Helping | Hand” and I’ll be your guide on this journey through a ® ® typical year of school life at Comp. I’d like to show you the pride and spirit, the knowledge and charities, the sportsman- ship and friendships that make Comp the special school that it is. “Before we go on though, I’d like to tell you a little about myself. You see, I was chosen as your guide because I’m a “helping hand” and everyone needs a helping hand at one time or another. Did you ever stop to think how important and useful hands are? You use us every day but I bet you never stopped to think about our purpose.” “Comforting” hands (Varsity soccer game) 2
