THE SPARTALOGUE — 1959 Page Three MR. STEADMAN PRINCIPAL ' S MESSAGE TO THE STAFF OF THE SPARTALOGUE: Forster students look forward each year to the Sparta- logue. Each new issue becomes a treasured souvenir of a happy time. The staff is justly proud of the excellence we have learned to expect and continue to find in the year book. We wish to extend our sincere congratulations to the contributors, the editors and their sponsors. TO THE GRADUATING CLASSES: The graduates will prize this issue. They have the place of honour in it. To them we express our appre¬ ciation of the developing spirit of understanding and co-operation. As teaching and learning blended, achieve¬ ment and satisfaction grew. We trust the purposeful quest for learning and wisdom will go on and that true happiness will come, as it can only come, from devotion to a calling that satisfies the soul . TO THOSE WHO REMAIN: May the stories of concerted effort and shared successes banish doubts and fears and raise new hopes and deter¬ mination among those who will come back another year. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Meret Qui Laborat — he who works deserves praise This phrase certainly can be applied to the workmanship behind the 1959 edition of the Spartalogue. On our efficient staff, we have typists, literary people, artists and assistants, each one working hard to make the Spartalogue an enjoyable and memorable book. Although credit is given to the staff, it would be impossible to have a year book without the assistance of Miss Scarfone and Miss Mitchell. To thank them a thousand times over would be insufficient. Another important part of our Spartalogue Staff is the advertising committee. Here a nucleus of students worked hard to bring in ads . The more ads we receive, the better book we put out. Our thanks to Miss Moss, who leads this department, for her excellent job. Mr. Heaton, who took charge of the Spartalogue pictures, deserves our compliments. He and his staff have done wonders with even the most unphotogenic of us. Now as you the readers, browse through our 1959 edition of the Spartalogue, we are sure that you will agree with our motto Meret Qui Laborat . —Carole Burrell, Editor.

MERET QUI LABORAT At 3:30 p.m. every weekday, September to June, the doors of Forster burst open and disgorge floods of stu¬ dents. To a casual observer, it must seem that these teen-agers are fleeing from the jaws of higher education. Yet, it is our proud boast at Forster that we have the strongest school spirit in the city of Windsor. We want to keep it that way. All of us worry about the school ' s morale. We take its pulse and temperature, mutter that the attendance at games is terrible, and prescribe pep rallies for flagging spirits. But perhaps we are fretting needlessly. When this year-book was short of money at printing time, over 350 students turned out at a dance to raise money. At a crucial basketball game with Kennedy this winter, a Kennedy observer called the Forsterites the keenest cheering section he had ever seen. Undoubtedly we were the loudest, and we kept cheering in the face of defeat. Forster has a fine heritage. Let us hand it down to our successors. To succeeding years of Spartans, let us say, Teach tradition to the freshmen, industry to the sophomores, initiative to the juniors, manners to the seniors and wisdom and humility to all . Meret qui Laborat. —Mary Holden, 12A.
