THE SPARTALOGUE “strong in will To strive, to seek, to find and not to yield.” The young in heart have always re¬ sponded to the challenge of great tasks and venturesome enterprises. “To strive” to play a useful part in the booming growth of Canada. “To seek” a touch stone, a test for right and wrong, a light to guide them on their way, “To find” the happiness, the durable satisfactions of life that come from honest and persevering effort to “Do the duty that lies nearest.” These are my wishes for the Graduates of 1956.

Spartalogue - - - QjO -p HIS 1956 edition of the Spartalogue has involved a great deal of work on the part of a great many persons. All who X participated deserve thanks—from Miss Scarfone and Miss Laithwaite our advisory editors, who contributed so much toward the preparation of the magazine, to the reporters who covered all the activities at F. C. I. To all we say, Thank you. A special acknowledgement should be given to a number of groups—the members of the editorial staff, for the many hours they spent in selecting and assembling the material—the class representatives who have portrayed interesting side¬ lights and events—the senior commercial students who typed the articles—the advertising committee who sold one thousand, two hundred dollars worth of advertisements, and our advertisers whose generosity all of us can repay by patronizing their places of business. This 1956 magazine with eight additional pages over last year ' s is the largest in Forster Collegiate’s history. We hope that the quality is at least equal to that of previous year books. A school magazine fulfills its purpose if it provides a pleasant and worthwhile experience for those who write it, an entertaining picture of the year’s activities, and a valued memento for the future when, as an ex-student, the reader again recalls his high-school days. Those of us who worked on this magazine can testify that the first condition has been more than met. We hope that the other two will also be met, when you. the reader, examine the 1956 Spartalogue. Catherine White, Editor.

Page Eight ‘THE SPARTALOGUE’ 1956 l lie Class of ' 56 Now that we are about to leave, Our hopeful hearts are prone to grieve, For when we take a careful look, We find all through our memory book Remembrances of friends and joys, Which were, throughout our school-life, buoys That guided us along our course, Protecting us from evil’s force. Although we’ve known the darker side, A teacher’s wrath, homework untried, Dentention form, (it was the style), And office chairs devoid of any smile; We too have known the standard high That built our pride in F. C. I.— The spirit which made the walls resound, To cheer the Spartans WOSSA-bound— The sportsmanship and fine good-will Poured into both defeat and thrill— The feeling of achievement won With muscles and plays well-done. Of course our teachers strove to seek New ways our minds with truths to steep; Although some knowledge they instilled, With greater store our souls they filled. They spoke of a much loftier thing— A love of learning; these words sing Of wisdom, truth, and ancient lore m And bring their ideals to the fore. Our high school life has smoothly flowed And has another gift bestowed— . A code for life, and upright heart, And this, we pray, we may impart. —Marjorie Mitchell.
