A MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL Our Year Book Editorial Staff each year en¬ deavours to make a Year Book that is better than the books of previous years. Their success depends very largely upon the co-operation they receive from the Class Reporters and others who write news, .articles, poems and other contributions of many kinds. Similarly in the whole school we try to make each year’s work better than the work of the year before. In this, too, we depend for our success upon the co-operation of every member of the school. What a difference it makes to a class if all are helping instead of nearly all helping and one or two hindering. When we look back over our School Honor Roll, we see the names of former students who in other years earned top places in their Junior High School Classes. Many of these have gone on and have earned top places after leaving school. Some are Doctors, some Lawyers, some Teach¬ ers, or Business Executives. Many are capable Home-Makers who are bringing up their own child¬ ren to be good citizens and perhaps leaders. Our honor students are examples of our best graduates of former years. Many of the classmates are equally successful and are leaders in the communities in which they live. Our School is specially proud of its Graduate George Sharpe, who, last fall was elected Mayor of Win¬ nipeg. Earl Grey Graduates may be found as successful citizens in every part of Canada and in many other countries. We have some fine students coming along this year as in other years. A few will be chosen as the Honor Students of 1955. Many others will be successful with them as they go on to higher grades. Our Grade IX Graduates will leave us soon to adventure into Senior High School and some later will go to Normal School and to University. We look to our Graduates of 1955 to take part, as former Earl Grey Students have taken part, in the Scholastic, Athletic, Musical, Dra¬ matic and other activities in the Senior Schools. We hope that the start that they have been given in Earl Grey will enable them to lead their classes and to go on to top places at each stage in their careers. To be successful is not easy. To be a successful leader is even more difficult, but not all are needed to be leaders. That person is most truly successful who is most useful and most happy in being useful. This success is possible to any person who is willing to work for it. To our Graduates of 1955 we wish the best of success. Be leaders if that is your future but whether you lead the group or follow a leader, every one aim to be useful and to be happy in being useful in whatever part of the world you may live and whatever the work you may do. Let us hear of your success in future years. Mr. C.A.E. HENSLEY Continued from Page 1 Mayor Sharpe entered politics as a Winnipeg alderman in 1947. He held this office until he became mayor in 1955. He is now occu¬ pying the chair which was presented to his father. Mayor Thomas Sharpe fifty-one years ago. Mayor Sharpe is happily married and has two daughters, aged eleven and sixteen. He is very fond of shooting and sailing. However, now that he is mayor he has little time for either of these activities. We are proud of the fact that Mayor Sharpe, a former Earl Grey student is today Winnipeg’s first citizen. From an interview with Mayor Sharpe by: Carol Irvine, Lottie Schubert, 2 Wayne Rudko, Grant Saunders.

BY: WAYNE RUDKO With the approach of the final days of June we suddenly realize that another whole year at school has passed seemingly unnoticed. Earl Grey School is again preparing to send out a group of young graduates to newer fields, while at the same time it is opening up new paths for those returning next fall. It is very interesting to look ahead towards a bright future; however, it is also most interest¬ ing to glance back and see ourselves and our friends in the past year’s activities. This is where our Year Book comes in. This year we, the Editorial Staff, have tried our utmost to portray the year-life story of our school in its brightest light. However, we realize that our success was possible only through the enthusiasm of our Year Book Staff, the co-operation of our students, and the advice and guidance of our teachers. It is our sincere hope that this, our 1954-1955 Year Book, including its newly adopted features, will meet with your approval. With a progressive thought in mind, we arranged for individual pictures of our Junior High classes. In addition, numerous contests were held amongst the students in order to obtain highly qualified contributions for our book. Class Reporters were chosen to represent each room and their splendid work proved a great asset. The competition which incited the most interest was our Year Book Name Contest.” In this way wewereable to procure a popular name for our Year Book — THE TRIANGLE —. We are deeply indebted to Patsy Isfeld for this appropriately chosen name. Now, let us look at the Triangle itself. Within it we see a bright sun casting its rays in all directions; the words Nova Lux” meaning New Light , and a searching eye. In life these seem¬ ingly exemplify the search for new roads to successful careers. On the outside of the sun the Triangle is inscribed with our school motto HONOUR, TRUTH and DUTY. Certainly these three words are fore¬ most in the success of our school life and our future life. As an example of the importance of these three ideals, attention might be drawn to a very recent medical achievement of our century. DR. JONAS E. SALK has recently dealt a blow to the dreaded, crippling disease of poliomyelitis. It was devotion to DUTY and undying effort to get at the TRUTH that finally, after many years, brought great HON¬ OUR to Dr. Salk for the first effective vaccine for polio. It is therefore significant that we students and graduates of Earl Grey through observance of our school motto, and through constant effort to do our best should rise to great heights in whatever goal we may choose to pursue. Still closer to our hearts at Earl Grey we honour the musical achievement of the late WILLIAM H. ANDERSON. To this most admired musician and friend we owe the composition of our school song. It is in this song that William Anderson portrays our school so realistically. It is in this song that he reminds all of us at Earl Grey that — Honour blended with the Truth In Duty’s golden rule Will keep undimmed the glory Others won for Earl Grey School. William H. Anderson Continued from Page 3 ted us considerably with his fine editing and also the judging of the Literary Competition materi¬ al. Mr. Lawson helped with untiring patience in the photography department. Our vice-principal, Mr. Storch, who has taken a keen interest in the young students since his arrival last year, and who has gained the respect of all the students, supported us extremely well with the Elementary secti¬ on. Last, but not least, we extend our thanks to our principal, Mr. Hensley, who deserves much credit for his advice in helping us over many rough spots. 4
