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.

GOVERNOR-GENERAL ' S MEDALIST The task of choosing from among the candidates for the Governor General ' s Award is not an easy one. Each person must have shown in the past year an outstanding scholas¬ tic record coupled with a dynamic personality and an unfailing interest in school develop¬ ment. Ian Thomson has shown all these qualities and more. His untiring efforts have led him well along the road to success in all of these fields and have made him a brilliant highlight in school records. He received the highest marks in two of the subjects on the course prescribed for matriculation in grade twelve, and proved himself to be of extreme¬ ly high intelligence as a member of the Elmwood High Reach For The Top television team. He, together with Richard Luddick, Thompson Owens, and Noreen Marshall set an example for all future students by defeating their competitors from throughout the Province by a substantial margin. He was also one of the two students chosen to repre¬ sent Elmwood at the Model United Nations Assembly in April of 1964. For the two years that I have known Ian Thomson as a friend and cohort in the Year book editing business I have found him to be an outstanding person and an excellent busi¬ ness man in crucial periods. An illustration of this would be the 1963 Inscripta of which our man lan was editor. We are proud of his achievements and wish him the best of luck in the future. - JIM EMLER
