PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE Mr. C.A.E. HENSLEY In Junior High School we meet a new experience each year. In Grade VII we learn to work in moving classes with seve¬ ral teachers. That means learning to plan and organize our own work at school and at home through the week. In Grade VIII comes the test, whether or not we can make a suc¬ cess of study in the subjects of the Junior High course that we have undertaken. The solid work required in Grade VIII deter¬ mines for many students how much longer they will remain in school and how far they will go in their education. A few are not ready to work hard enough to hold their place in the grade and lose a year at this point. It is very costly to lose ' a year in Junior High School. In Grade IX we come to the fork in the road where we must choose the type of ca¬ reer we intend to prepare for. We begin to prepare for an academic career opening the door to university or for a vocational ca¬ reer by training for commercial or techni¬ cal emp loymen t. Because in Junior High we test our¬ selves and make choices for our future ca¬ reer, it is important that we have good strong plans at home and at school to help us do our best work. It is important, that our difficulties and decisions should be made by our ‘Partnership of Three’, Stu¬ dent, School and Home or Student, Teacher and Parents. If this partnership is kept in good working order, we need have no doubt that each student will find the best way from Elementary, through Junior High to Senior High School and on to a successful career in adultllife. From the time we enter Junior High School to the time we graduate we need to keep our eye on the road leading to our fu¬ ture. The road may be represented as a simple map like this: With a clear picture of the road in our minds we are able to choose wisely when we mak. make a decision as to which branch of the road to take. Our Graduates have now completed their journey through the Junior High years and as they leave us to go on to Senior High School or to employment in the world outside, we wish each one of them the best of well earned success.

MR. DOYLEND Mr. Doylend is a very good friend to boys and girls. He was our Head Caretaker until Christmas of last year. When he became the Senior Caretaker in the Winnipeg Schools he ‘gradu¬ ated from our school and moved away to be friend to other boys and girls. He is still our friend too and we hope he will come back sometime to see us. In the picture, Mr. Doylend is superintending the planting of one of our Coronation trees and is getting good help from Lawrence. Mr. Doylend and the boys and girls often made good teams to do a job when there was one to be done. We are sending Mr. Doylend a copy of the Yearbook and we hope that this picture will remind him of many pleasant days at Earl Grey. We wish him many happy times and many new friends.

As another school year draws to a close, let us pause to think over all that has happened during the past ten months For many of us this will be the last year at Earl Grey. There¬ fore, it is only natural that our thoughts should now be cen‘ tred on all that has happened within the walls of this school while we were here. Perhaps it was at Earl Grey that we first participated in an inter-school game; perhaps it was during such a game that we first learned the meaning of good sportsmanship. Perhaps it was at Earl Grey that we learned the importance of teamwork in everything we do, that we realized the importance of hard work, and that we experienced the joy of achievement. Certainly, too, we have here been given the first opportunities in leader¬ ship . This year Earl Grey successfully produced the Gilbert and Sullivan operetta, The Mikado. This was a major undertaking for a junior high school, and it was due to the hard work and enthusiasm of the teachers and the cast that it was so success¬ fully presented. There have been many other interesting events at the school this year. Amongst these were the rollicking Christmas Party of the Elementary school, the training of Elementary school choirs for participation in the Winnipeg Musical Festi¬ val, and many classroom teas which afforded parents an oppor¬ tunity of closer contact with the school. In the office of Earl Grey, our school emblem stands. It is inscribed with the words ‘Honour, Truth and Duty 1 . This emblem has come to mean much to the students of our school. It is for us to keep these words in our mind, and to practise them in our lives. As a member of the graduating class, I would like to take this opportunity to thank Mr. Hensley and the teachers for their patient assistance during the year. As I think back over this year and others much like it spent at Earl Grey, I know that I have learned much, not only in my academic work, but in my associations with my fellow stu¬ dents and teachers. May I therefore thank the teachers who have helped us, the pupils who have shared experiences with us, and the school which has presented us with a challenge to be honourable to seek truth, and to be faithful to duty.
