THE VICE-PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE Mr. R.A.STORCII r Since the beginning of September, I have had the privilege and pleasure of being a member of the staff of Earl Grey School. As I have watched you at work and at play, my own school days have often flashed back into my mind. It was so much fun going to school then, but you have shown me by actions that it ' s just as much fun now. Even the kindergarten children hate to miss a day! And that your learning covers a wider and more desirable range than just regular school subjects is very ap¬ parent too. In your rooms, in the halls, and on the grounds are evidences that most of you are not only behaving like fine young ladies and gentlemen, but are also conquering the problem of how to get a- long with others. During the school year, the combined activities of all rooms add up to quite a large total. Each class has special events, accomplishments, and the like which make interesting reading. Be¬ cause this book is a project of the whole school, it is only fitting that you are in its making by con¬ tributing to its contents. I am looking forward to reading the interesting accounts of your activities in the space allotted to each class. I know you will do a good job because your teachers help you to plan your work well. I would like to tell you about a number of other things that I have noticed that concern you all. The first of these has to do with your classroom behavior. The quiet, business-like attitudes of even the youngest of our pupils in their classrooms reminds me of an office filled with rows of desks at which sit people busily working away, each seemingly unaware of the presence of others. And even when teacher brings a portion of the class to the front of the room, the rest continue with their seat- work without hardly a stir. Well done, young people! Next I would like to say what I have noticed about your honesty and the way you answer your teachers and principals when they speak to you. Even you youngsters in kindergarten and grade one have shown me that you are following the directions of your teachers and parents about being honest and polite. And again you are to be congratulated! How nice it is to come into the school and find youngsters holding open the door and saying, Good morning, sir,” or finding others coming into the office with articles they have found. Yes, honest is still the best policy. And who does not admire a polite young girl or boy? And now, what have I noticed about your regular school work? In every room, from kinder¬ garten to grade six, I have come across some very fine work and have seen definite signs that, not only are most of you learning the subjects thoroughly but you are also learning how to think. Beautiful printing, lovely writing, fine art work, neat notebooks, worthwhile projects - all have been my plea¬ sure to see. And I must not forget your singing. It has been lovely. It’s a nice feeling to do a good job, too, isn ' t it. No message to you would be complete without mention of your efforts in activities beyond the regular school subjects called extra-curricular” activities. Your fine support of the Junior Red Cross, March of Dimes, Poppy Day, Junior Humane Society deserves special mention. And you did nobly in selling tickets and advertising the fall tea sponsored jointly by the Earl Grey Community Club and our School. Similar praise is due for your contributions to school funds by the sale of candy, popcorn, novelties, etc. And to those of you who have helped to uphold the good name of our school in inter¬ school games, music and other activities a special word of praise and thanks is due. Finally, as a closing note, I would like to address a few remarks to our graduating classes. For you young people in grade six, the end of the school year will be a memorable one because the next grade is in Junior High. Here you will begin an entirely new kind of school life, and the vast fields of learning already opened by your elementary school teachers will expand with each succeed¬ ing year to bring no end of pleasure to those of you who take advantage of an opportunity that comes only once. To all grade six pupils I want to extend my best wishes for a pleasant journey along this road of learning, and to your teachers and all other members of the elementary school staff my since rest thanks for a job well done. 40
