DEDICATION This yearbook is dedicated to those whose ideas, plans, and labor culminated in the edifice which we now attend. Vulcan County students and citizens are proud of the attractive, adequate school located in town. Many hours of planning and much hard work on the part of various groups and individuals have gone toward achieving the present building. Centralization began in I960 when all Grade Xll students were vanned from the County area west of Lske McGregor. Since 1963, Grade X and XI students from the same area have come to this central point. These two innovations earmarked the changeover. In the spring of 1963 Dr. T. C. Bryne, chief superin¬ tendent of schools for Alberta, brought to the attention of the proper authorities the possibility of Federal aid for a vocational school in Vulcsn. Briefs were prepared regarding the need for such a centre. These in turn were submitted to the Education Committee, the Department of Education and Mr. J. P. Mitchell, head of vocational education in Alberta. Mr. J. Stevenson was engaged as the architect end after much drafting and thought the blueprints went to Edmonton for approval. Upon their endorsation, Bennett and White re¬ ceived the building contract. The official opening of the vocational wing was held February 3, 1965 with the Hon. R. H. McKinnon, Minister of Education, guest speaker. The benefits the students are now obtaining are evident to those who have daily contact with the school. A varied educational program is at this time available to meet the educational needs of all the children of all the people. The future holds unlimited possibilities inasmuch as adult classes are already in operation. The dream of those who envisioned this educational cen¬ tre as a nucleus of learning has been realized. May it con¬ tinue to thrive and serve the community.

PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE WHAT WILL YOU CARVE? You are given at birth a block of untouched marble, out of which you may make anything you choose. Every day and every hour and every moment of your life you are chiseling upon this marble block. You can chop away without a modal or design or plan; you can smite it with your anger and disappointment; you can bring out of it a satanie, beastly, vulgar image which will disgust and demoralize every beholder; or you can bring out the angel of beauty, of truth, the idol which lives in every normal soul. Carve something however, you must—for you cannot leave that marble untouched. Sincerely, Mre. O ' Reilly Secretary
