Page Five THE SPARTALOGU E” — 195 4 O UR collegiate days are rapidly coming to an end. but the memories of those last. five, wonderful years will remain with us always. We realize that we have come to the end of the line. On the next siding are many tracks, each one stretching far out into the future and each one offering us many excellent opportunities. Back in the guidance office we found the track number and the profession we wish to travel and we are quite confident that the knowledge we have gleaned from the best staff in Windsor, will suf¬ ficiently pay our passage to success. Although we are looking forward to that graduating day. we are very hesitant about leaving the school whose halls hold within tjjygm a wealth of memories. How well we can remember those big “fifth formers” lifting us upside down, looking for the quarter that would admit us to the best football game in the city! How the audience roared and applauded as the final Curtain was drawn to our first operetta. It was that same roar and applause mixed with a little grease paint that called us back the next year and the year after that to even bigger success! Remember the bruises and scrapes we so proudly acquired over at Prince Road Park? Remember how disgruntled our parents became when we dragged ourselves in after a particularly gruelling basketball practice? But those aches and pains and bruises and even Mom ' s scoldings were forgotten as we packed the gym Friday night and literally “raised the roof” with our cheers. Way back in “ ' 52 ' ' we found out what school spirit really is. That was the year of the reunion when all the Sandwich Collegiate “grads” paraded over to our school to pay honour to our principal. Mr. Forster. The back yard was full of cars, and we could not imagine how many stalwart .Spartans were inside. We wondered then what made these graduates so energetic — so ambitious. We think we have found the answer. It takes five years with many long hours of study and homework, to acquire that magic roll of parchment, our diploma, our key to the future and the halls of Forster have provided the golden key.

The School Board, for instance, realizing the value of journalism in school life, helped make the year-book possible by buy¬ ing a full page ad. The unstinted co-operation of staff and pupils was also a factor in the success of this publication. To Tom Noble and Art Majer, who are responsible for the many fine photographs which grace the Spartalogue and illustrate so effectively the varied phases of school activities, we should like to extend our thanks. Typists Marlene Cosgrave, Beverley Battersby and Betty Jean Clark are also to be commended for their invaluable services. We extend our thanks also to other I I and I2C typists. To the entire Spartalogue staff—notably Darlene Daugherty, Julie Toth, Ellen Fera, and Zenon Zubrycky whose faithful services deserve recognition, as well as to teachers and students whose helpful contributions have resulted in a most successful project, we extend our grateful thanks. ANNE JOHNSTON, Editor. DAVID RUDKIN, Assistant Editor. l
