r he Centennial edition of our yearbook goes to ® press. Throughout the year as we have compil¬ ed it, we could not help remembering one kind, little person who put so much time and effort into past yearbooks — dear Sister Marcelle. For nine years, Sister had been here at COCJ with us, but last year she was called to British Columbia. During those nine years she lovingly dedicated herself to serve the students in every way she could — through the Legion of Mary, through teaching, through labor on our yearbook. We miss her and we miss her invalu¬ able help. It is to Sister Marcelle that we dedicate this special page of our 1967 yearbook. We know that — wherever she is, whatever she is doing — she is still our dear friend. We wish her the best — in ’67 and always. •

Editorial AS OUR school year ’66 - ’67 comes to a close, and as our Yearbook goes to press, we find ourselves with an opportunity to look back on past events. So many new things have happened during this year that we find it hard to remember them all. This year witnessed the installation of a flag pole which made it possible for COCJ to proudly fly the Cana¬ dian and Centennial flags. It witnessed the first time in the history of this convent school that a “Spirit Week” was observed. It also witnessed a Centen¬ nial Week during which we switched from uniforms to ankle-length dresses in commemoration of Canada’s Centennial. Oh, this year witnesed so many things! Of special pride to me was the beginning of patrons for our Yearbook. Considering this was an innova¬ tion, the response, on the whole, was good. I sin¬ cerely hope that as many, and more will support the patrons’ section in future years. As Editor, I wish to thank sincerely all those who contributed in any way to the success of this Year¬ book. To Mrs. Guina, who gave us her time and valu¬ able assistance, we owe a debt of gratitude. With¬ out her, the Yearbook could not have become a real¬ ity. To all others who assited — teachers and stu¬ dents alike — we express our appreciation . To the business men whose financial assistance helped light¬ en our load, we say a special thank you. To the Year¬ book Staff who worked so diligently day after day, sincere thanks and grateful appreciation. As Yearbook Editor, I have had a most enjoyable year. It was fun compiling this book and it goes out to you with high hopes that you will enjoy it, and be proud of it because it is your book, about your school. May the Spirit of COCJ live on to fill you with special pride in the fact that you are “Convent Girls”. • 10 —
