IJrmripafa Jlli ' ssage For many years, the people of the Christian world had, in addition to their belief in the doctrines of Christianity, a belief in certain virtues for guidance in seeking the good life. The material world has changed almost beyond recognition since Christianity was introduced and virtues such as these were accepted. In spite of these pronounced material changes, it is felt that those things in the spiritual world that were proved to have been good in the past have not changed. They remain as guide posts to good living, now as formerly. Prudence: caution in a line of action; thoughtfulness regarding the consequences of actions. Fortitude: strength of mind or soul that enables a person to en¬ counter danger or bear pain with courage. Temperance: the observance of moderation; restrained or mod¬ erate indulgence. Justice: action which conforms with what is right; uprightness. When moral standards are very much in question, and when earnest young people are seeking values to which they may hold, the good standards contained in prudence, fortitude, temperance and justice will still provide a safe guide to the attainment of the good life. It is the earnest hope of the staff of this school that our young people will accept these high ideals as their own. W. H. COOPER, Principal

the daily newspaper. No one can claim to be a literate or responsible citizen today unless he has become acquainted with the events of the day as described on the front pages of newspapers and the opinions on these events as printed on the editorial page. Make it a habit each day after school or each evening after dinner to spend at least half an hour with the newspaper instead of with the TV set. It may be hard to do at first, but if you do it faithfully for a few weeks, you will soon find that there is greater pleasure and satisfaction in being well in¬ formed than in being poorly entertained. The more you read, the more you will enjoy reading and the greater satisfaction you will find in learning from the books you read. Today there is a greater supply of inexpensive books on a wide variety of subjects than was ever known in history before. It should be pos¬ sible, therefore, for most of you to buy a few books of your own and to make a practice of underlining the passages that you consider most significant or most memorable. You might even write in your own comments in the margin if you are reading the book critically and thinking about what the author has to say as you read. Just remember that you should never do this in a library book or a book you have borrowed from someone else. Finally, reading extensively will make you a better student and will improve your chances of entering University and adding further to your chances for a richer and happier existence, so pick out a good book and start reading today and keep at it until the habit of reading is a natural part of your life.

31 tt iHcnniriam c MISS KATHERINE MARTIN Miss Kay Martin, a teacher in Calgary for approximately thirty years, for eight of which she taught art at Crescent Heights High School, died in Vancouver, April 4, 1961. A lasting memorial to her memory are her pupils ' beautiful murals on the cafeteria walls.

In these ways, as well as in the memory of those who knew her.
