PRESIDENTS MESSAGE As another school year draws to a close, we the students of Elmwood High School can look upon our achievements with pride. This year has passed into the oblivion of time, but has not been obliviated in our memories. Elmwood has taken a great stride forward in the field of inter-high school athletics during this past term. We had much more participation in all athletic activities and this in many ways, is more important than winning. This year at Elmwood we initiated two new committees, the Football Committee and the Pep Club. Also in the school were such groups as the Science Club, Red Cross, French Club and Social Studies Club which all deserve much credit for the large part they have played in developing our future Canadian citizens. This past term the teachers and th e students of Elmwood High co-operated fully and their combined efforts successfully produced the annual tea and a minstrel show entitled “Way Down South”. Such events are very important activities for they show Bill Kops our parents that we are capable of handling such responsibilities. I would like to extend my sincere congratulations to our television quiz team. This team composed of George Durnin, Robert Pawlik, Alan Alvare and Leila Innis, was probably responsible for the big¬ gest boost that our school spirit received last term. They kept the school in a constant state of suspense and excitement until they finally won the compe¬ tition. In so doing, they proved that the scholastic standards of Elmwood High are of the highest. I would like to congratulate the social committee on a job well done. I would like to thank the Editor of this yearbook and his staff for this opportunity to express my thoughts about the past year. In closing I would like to thank the student council for their very capable assistance throughout the year and also extend my best wishes to the graduates and students of our school in their future undertakings. —Bill Kops 9

D. S. McIntyre Principal’s Message “There is a tide in the affairs of men Which taken at the flood leads on to fortune. Omitted and all the voyage of their lives Is bound in misery and in shallows. On such a sea are we now afloat And we must take the current as it serves Or lose our venture.” From “Julius Caesar”, By Shakespeare. These words spoke a truth at the time that Shakespeare wrote them. They always have been true and always will be true. Our reaction to them as individuals is what counts for each of us. It may be a useful exercise if we were to check the past year to see how we have fared on the sea of life during that time. Last September, the tide was in the flood stage for most of us. We were poised, ready to start another school year. Many were prepared to take control of their lives and drive on the flood tide to fortune. Others were quite willing to avoid the flood tide and slip away into shallow living. Among students who took advantage of the op¬ portunity of sailing their ships on the high tide were the two who suggested the revival of the school newspaper. The five editions of the paper which you have read provide ample evidence of their journey on the high seas to fortune. The proof —you have enjoyed reading the papers and the school has an authentic record of the important events of the past school term. One day last winter, in the small hours of the morning, a young man of Elmwood High was jump¬ ing for a record in the Golden Boy Indoor Track Meet. He persisted, despite the fact that it was past the midnight hour, and he achieved what he was aiming at. He established the record. He was declared champion of the meet. He rode out the flood tide. His name—Orton Harrison. I am writing this on the day that our Quiz Team goes into the finals of the “Reach for the Top” competition. We do not know what the outcome of these contests will be. However, we do know that this group of four students have shown industry and intelligence in arriving in the finals. They, with able help of their sponsor Mr. Mallon, seized the opportunity presented to them and won fame for themselves and for their school. Yesterday we had the assembly of students in the auditorium to hear the candidates for the President and Vice-President of the 1963-64 student council. There were a record number of candidates for these positions, with their sponsors, eighteen in all. The speeches were excellent in content, fluent in delivery and enjoyed by the audience, staff and students alike. The advertising for the election was ex¬ tensive and in good taste. A large section of the student body took the tide at the flood for the student election. Finally, we are afloat on the sea of approaching examinations. Some have seized the chance by working from the first of the year. The result is that they are exempt from writing the exams. Others, while not exempt, have kept their heads above water and are likely to float in without be¬ ing submerged by the finals. Still others are going to have to struggle to keep dry while others who fail in one or two are going to get their feet wet. But those who do not even now take the tide at the flood stage will be living in the shallows. May you sail on the flood tide as you face a New Year and not lose your venture. Best wishes! —D. S.
