Vice-Principal ' s Message It has been said that one can find a quotation from Shakespeare to suit every occasion. Much of the charm and appeal of his plays lies in the timelessness of many of their passages. Those of you who have been exposed to grade twelve English will recognize the following excerpt as Polonius ' advice to his son Laertes on his departure for France. Even though it was written many years ago it con¬ tains several good suggestions which might be of value to all of us. And so, for your consideration: Yet here,.I 1 aboard, aboard, for shame! The wind sits in the shoulder of your sail. And you are stay ' d for. There; my blessing with thee! And these few precepts in thy memory See thou character. Give thy thoughts no tongue, Nor any unproportion ' d thought his act. Be thou familiar, but by no means vulgar. Those friends thou hast, and their adoption tried. Grapple them to thy soul with hoops of steel; But do not dull thy palm with entertainment Of each new-hatch ' d unfledged comrade. Beware Of entrance to a quarrel, but being in, Bear ' t that the opposed may beware of thee. Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice; Take each man ' s censure, but reserve thy judgment. Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy, But not express ' d in fancy; rich, not gaudy; For the apparel oft proclaims the man, Neither a borrower nor a lender be; For loan oft loses both itself and friend, And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry. This above all: to thine own self be true. And it must follow, as the night the day. Thou canst not then be false to any man. Farewell: my blessing season this in thee! iRead your own name here, (with apologies to Shakespeare) 2William Shakespeare - Hamlet, Act I, Scene III.

PRESIDENT ' S MESSAGE A school does not have a rubber stamp with which each student, leaving high school, receives, across the forehead in bold letters, the word EDUCATED . High school is but a step, giving us a further understanding of ourselves and the world which we are to enter. In high school, we acquire not only an education from books, but also a source of experiences in leadership and co-operation. I believe this year Elmwood High has succeeded in developing a graduating class capable of handling itself well in the world. Miss MacDonald and the staff of Elmwood High have handled the problems of a larger high school expertly, and the operation of our school this year has been both smooth and efficient. To Miss MacDonald, I would like to express the wish of con¬ tinued success as principal of Elmwood High. A long sought dream was achieved this year--the Elmwood Eskies. Our football team handled themselves well, and Elmwood can be proud of its first foot¬ ball team. The future can only hold success! Though victory was not always ours, Elmwood has been well represented in inter high athletics. Our inter-school teams reflected the high calibre of inter¬ room athletics at Elmwood High. Always there to cheer on our teams were our ever-faithful cheerleaders, who deserve credit for their untiring devotion. To these girls I extend my personal thanks. The Inscipta has finally come of age--hard covers. Despite the increased cost of production, the yearbook staff has had a financially successful year and has created a book of which Elmwood can be proud. This fine book is a tribute to Allan Galbraith and his staff for all the hard work they have put into it. I should like to thank, the Student Council, the Social Committee, the Red Cross, the staff and all those individuals whose willing assistance made my task a little easier and made Elmwood High a little better. In closing, I should like to wish each of you the best of luck and happiness in the future. Thank-you. Bob Fostakowsky
