UNITED NATIONS TRIP During our high school years we are challenged by new and exciting experiences that broaden our future and enrich our lives with cherished mera- ones. My trip to the United Nations in New York wd undoubtedly be a lasting memory on which I shall be able to ponder with a sigh in many years to come. a As we stepped aboard the giant Stratocruiser that was to fly us seven thousand feet above the earth to our destination, it seemed that a dream was becoming a reality. Two hours later we landed at La Guardia airport, the largest in the United otates. But wonders were yet to come. That eve¬ ning as we walked down Broadway and Times Square, we marvelled at the millions of lights blaz¬ ing in a glory of colour, turning night into day. On the third day of our visit we were given the privilege of touring the great “Wonder City”. The tour included such sights as the Empire State Budding the fabulous Radio City Music Hall.

The Public Speaking Awards were presented to the winners of our school contests by Miss V. Philpot aided by Miss L. Mitchell, W.O.S.S.A. public speaking winner. Karen Carter and Jim Silcox received awards as winners in the Junior Division of the contest. The Malcom Fursey Shield was presented to Senior winners Rosabelle Veighey and Jack Wayne. The girls ' choir under the direction of Miss P. Clary added a musical touch to the evening. They sang “May Day Carol ' “The Syncopated Clock” and “The Lord Is My Shepherd.” Miss M. E. Weller introduced the principal speaker of the evening, Miss G. R. Munnings. In her address to the graduating class Miss Mun¬ nings presented to them three challenging goals— the first warned against being satisfied with medi¬ ocrity of accomplishment, the second emphasized the desirability of an inquiring mind, the third urged all to be humble. The Presentation of Graduation Diplomas was made by Miss D. K. Scarfone who said that this diploma held the key to opportunity in schooling and in occupations. A total of forty-five students received this diploma. Next on the programme was the presentation of Graduation Diplomas for the Commercial Course by Mr. J. H. Silcox. Twenty-three students received this diploma, their key to the business world. Mr. R. B. Whetstone, another teacher who was welcomed home by Forster students, presented the Honour Graduation Diplomas to twenty-three students. The theme of the 1957 class must have been “Meret Qui Laborat”. For over 5,500 dollars was presented in scholarships and bursaries to deserving students. Valentina Tritjak led her class with a total of SI,400 in awards. Catherine White was the recipient of the John L. Forster Award valued at $100 for general pro¬ ficiency not only in academic work but also in the field of extra-curricular activities. Forster’s highest award, its honour pin, was bestowed upon six worthy students for their initia¬ tive and leadership during their high school years. Miss Gurney presented these pins to Dawn Camp¬ bell, Gordon Law, Catherine White, Valentina Tritjak, Philip Arber and James Johnston. Gordon Law answered Miss Munnings’ challeng¬ ing speech on behalf of the graduating class. He emphasized the fact that a student need not be outstanding, but that he must strive to do the best he possibly can. The pleasant conclusion to the evening’s pro¬ gramme was a reunion of the graduates, their friends, and relatives in the school cafeteria. Re¬ freshments were served and an hour of dancing followed. THE ECCLESIA During the 1957-58 school term the Ecclesia has, as always, prospered under fine leadership and good cooperation from its members. At the beginning of the fall term elections w ' ere held in each class to select representatives for Forster’s student council. Larry Karpiuk was elected president of the group for the fall term with Margaret White as vice- president, Margaret MacDonald as treasurer and Marie McGuinness as secretary. During the spring term. Marg White became president; Jim Leishman, vice-president; Trevor Wright, treasurer, and Wayne Hutchinson, secretary. A programme that was both energetic and highly successful was conducted this year. The member¬ ship of the Ecclesia was divided into three main groups. The first of these, the Social Committee, organized the Forster Frolic, plus tea dances and the dances held after basketball games. The Cul¬ tural Committee planned all the special assemblies throughout the season. The rousing pep rallies held Continued on Page 35
