I4 THE CRESCENT BUGLE, I9347 Wag ga s 53: V 'Z' like El The staii oi the Crescent Heights Bugle takes great pleasure in presenting what we consider to be a very successful year book to the srhool. Composing a year book ol' the size and quality of the Bugle demands a good deal of work on the part of both the literary and business staffs. So it is with a pardouable degree of pride that we survey our efforts at providing the graduating' students with a year book that we hope will afford them pleasure in future years. ll'e wish to thank all those students who have provided us with literary material for that section oi our book. XVe also wish to express our gratitude to those Grade X11 students who helped us by doing the write-ups nt their respective rooms. :X complete list of their names will be found elsewhere. t The past year has been. in our opinion. a very successful one for Cresrent Heights. For, remember, that success can be achieved by other means than by trophies won in basketball games, or by points gained on the rugby field, and although our men of brawn and muscle may not have done as well as most of us would have liked to have seen them do. the other student activities, supported as they have been by every Cres-- cent student. have realized sucress in everything they have undertaken. The eu-operation the students have shown during the past year has. we believe. paid at dividend to those same students. And now. as the Graduating Class leaves us. each ot' them to take his or her place in the world. we can only urge them to remember this, so clearly demonstrated during' the year 1038-39. that Unity is strength. and division is folly. ,l IM LEAMAN.

THE CRESCENT BUGLE. N39 I3 The Principal's Message A --Qi Today as never before in the history of Canada education is viewed as one of the most important functions of society. It is important to the state. the family. and the individual. It is realized now that the perplexing political and economic problems of today are due mainly to ignorance and that the only hope of a satisfactory solution is in a better educated citizenship. Problems of international relationship, social justice. and capital and labor adjustment await the young people now in l-ligh School. How well the rising generation is equipped to meet this situation depends on how well the secondary schools meet the obligations imposed on them. It is now recognized that a democratic form of government is the most difficult to make function, but also that the liberties enjoyed by the individual under this form of government are worth the effort and sacrifice necessary to maintain it. This is something that all young people should realize. The family as well as the state expects much from the High School. They look to us to give to adolescents. that type of training demanded by the times. but impossible in the home. Many families have sutlfcrcd financial reverses in recent years, and they expect the schools to equip boys and girls to take their places in the economic and industrial worlds. and to become self-supporting immediately after graduation. Finally, it is to the interest of eachstudent to make the best use of the available facilities to acquire useful knowledge. skills. and habits. and to achieve that steadfastness of purpose and stability of character that will make the rising generation an asset to a bewildered society. On behalf of the staff and their felloxv students, I extend congrat- ulations and best wishes for their future success to the students who complete their Grade XII this year.

This month Canadians from coast to coast will give a Royal welcome lo a Royal couple, our King and Queen. Never before have we heen so fortunate as to have the reigning sovereigns visit us, and loyal subjects in erery city and town will pay their allegiance to the Imperial Crown. hy welcoming Their Majesties in a more spectacular manner than has previously been seen in Canada. But there is more than displays and decorations to greet King George and Queen Elizabeth: for on their journey they will be thrilled by the spectacle of the Great Lakes, with their hreath-taking grandeur: by the vast rolling prairies with their rich crops. and by the impressive Rocky Mountains with their rugged magnificence. The students of Crescent Heights are proud that they are ahle to take part in the welcome, and extend to Their Majesties sincere wishes for an enjoyable trip, and they are sure the memories will he pleasant and will endure for many years to mine.
