Our Principal Mr. Hensley, our principal, has been with us for many years. Now in this year 1957, after many good years at Earl Grey, he is retiring. Mr. Hensley first attended a small country school called Spring Valley, which is located north of Griswold. He moved to Winnipeg and attended Alexander School. He also attended Sutton County School. He later went to Brandon Collegiate and Queen’s University, where he obtained his Batchelor of Arts degree, and the University of British Columbia where he obtained his Master of Arts degree. His favorite subject at school was Science. Mr. Hensley began his teaching career at Alexander School after returning from overseas in 1919. He later taught at Kelvin High School for nine¬ teen years. Before he came to Earl Grey in September, 1941, he was at River- view School. As everyone in Earl Grey knows, Mr. Hensley, with the help of two other men, composed our Science book. The revised edition was published during the years 1936, 1937, 1938. His favorite spot abroad is in the south of England, although he spent sixteen months in France during World War 1. He has collected many science specimens in the bleak country near Hudson Bay and along British Col¬ umbia’s rocky west coast, including the shores of the Great Lakes. Mr. Hensley has travelled in Europe and across Canada a number of times. In World War 11, Mr. Hensley was on the teaching staff of the Canadian Army. He was also doing some Cadet work as well. Now, he aids the community in his work with the Cubs and Scouts. Mr. Hensley believes that work is the best policy, and is well rewarded. When Mr. Hensley was asked how he liked being principal of Earl Grey he replied that it was the best school he had gone to anywhere. The work was hard in many ways, he told us, but it was well worth it. There had been great teamwork between the teachers and the pupils. It gave him a feeling of great satisfaction. He predicted that the students of today would become as important as the men and woman whose names are on the Honour Roll. His future plans are to help the teachers in Manitoba schools for two years in instructing them in Co-ordinating Science for Elementary and Junior High Schools . He then intends to do more travelling. We, of Earl Grey School, wish Mr. Hensley the best in whatever he chooses to do now and in later years. The best of luck to you Sir. 2 Lynne Neal -- Diane Friesen. Room 13.

A MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL Earl Grey School is completing its thirty-eighth year, and this year’s Graduating Class brings the total of Graduates to more than three thousand. Our Graduates of the past are at work in all parts of Canada and in many other lands. They are doing many kinds of work, some having risen to positions of high responsibility and trust through the years since they graduated. We do not forget those named on our Service Honor Roll whose careers were made short by the emergency of war. In defending freedom, they made great con¬ tributions to the lives of others who now carry on the work that they would otherwise have done. GRADUATES OF TODAY — think of yourself as one, — an im¬ portant one, of the se first three thousand Graduates. In doing so, you may feel that you now are joining a great company of useful Canadian citizens. Some of them are middle aged doctors, lawyers, engineers, scientists, teachers, preach¬ ers, writers, musicians, business men, industrial managers, bankers, politicians; others are mechanics, salesmen, tradesmen, miners, railway employees, office workers; and many are still students completing their education in university and in senior high school, just one step ahead of you. As you join the company, there are some among them in whose steps you would like to follow and they would be glad to have you go along. From these Earl Grey people of the past, you may gain much by example, by inspiration and in some cases by their friend¬ ship or because they are your parents. It is good for you now, to be ready to join the company of Past Graduates of Earl Grey School. You, as a Graduate of 1957, are one of a class of more than one hundred new Graduates of the Present. Your class of this year is a promising group of Graduates going out to finish your education or to begin work. Because of the prosperity of our country, you will have before you more and better opport¬ unities than have been offered to any other of the thirty-eight graduating classes that have gone out from the school. Competition will be keen for the best opport¬ unities but there Will be enough for all. You are in important group of Earl Grey Graduates upon whom rests a great responsibility. What is said in the future of the Graduates of Earl Grey School will depend in part upon the way in which the traditions of the school are upheld by the Graduates of this present year. I shall watch with special interest the future careers of the Class of 1957, because yours is my last Graduating Class from Earl Grey. On behalf of each member of the staff and each member of all of the classes that are following you to be Graduates of the future, I wish you the satisfaction, happiness and success that come from work well done. Hold to the motto of our school, Truth, Duty, Honor, and Success will be yours. Sincerely, Mr CAE HENSLEY 3
