BY YOUR EDITOR Tho Argus staff hopes that you, tho students, will enjoy reading the »£9 year book as much as we enjoyed writing and preparing it; that it will serve as a happy roninder of the class-room antics, the achievements of you and your fellow students and perhaps of the few embarrassing incidents which, though now you view with horror, may be recalled with a smile in years to come. However, as the year draws to a close, the importance of approaching final exams arises to overshadow these pleasant activities. We realize that though the fun provides an enjoy¬ able dessert which at times makes the rost of the meal bearable, it must romain in its proper, secondary place. If you are tempted to fold up and abandon this nine to four routine with homework in favour of a nine to five one with pay, compare your friends who have left school in search of more promising ways to spend their time and are now worse off than you because they have no money, no job, nor tho education to g.t work to thoso who are proparing to gradu¬ ate, and can look forward to enjoyment of university and the prospect of their choson career. As oditor I should like to take this opportunity to thank those who made this year ' s Argus possible. Special thanks to you, Mr. Montoith, our faculty adviser, who managed to keep your sanity intact while waiting for tardy reporters to submit classroom news as deadlines came and went and who had the courage to make us rewrite our assignments; to the classroom reps who had the patience to rewrite them; to Miss Brown and her students who helped with the typing; to Mr. Soteros and th6 photography club for the enthusiasm with which they attacked the Candid Camera contest which adds a sparkling touch to our year book; finally to Mr. Crane who gave us his full support and was always ready to assist us. — Margaret Butcher
