GOVERNMENT HOUSE OTTAWA I am very happy indeed that my name should have been chosen to identify this new Junior High School. I congratulate the Calgary School Board on their efforts to meet the growing needs of the City. To the Principal, the teaching staff and all who will study within your walls I send warmest good wishes. GEORGES P. VANIER Georges P. Vanier, to whom this yearbook is dedicated, has led a very interesting life. Bom on April 23, 1888, Georges P. Vanier received his education at Laval University, after which, in 1911, he was called to the Quebec Bar. During the first world war he served as a major in the 22nd Batallion (French Canadian) when he was seriously wounded in action and won the M.C. From 1921 to 1928 he served as A.D.C. to the Governor-General, following which Vanier commanded the Royal 22nd Regiment of the Quebec Citadel from 1922 to 1925. In 1930 he represented Canada at the London Naval Conference, as well as at the General Assembly of the League of Nations. Sent to France as Canadian Minister in 1939, he remained until the fall of their country, Vanier was promoted to Major General in 19U3 when he went back to London as Canadian Minister to the Allied Government in exile. In 19UU, he returned to Paris with the rank of Ambassador which he held -until he retired in 1953. Georges Vanier was elected as Associate Member of the French Academie des Scientistes Morals et Politiques in 1951, and was appointed to his present office by Queen Elizabeth II in Halifax at the end of her Canadian tour in 1959 Thus, it is with great respect that we dedicate Vanier s first year¬ book to the Governor General of Canada, eorges P.
