CHAIRMAN ' S REMARKS - OFFICIAL OPENING OF THE SCHOOL Honored guests, ladies and gentleman. Our school is honored by the presence of so many distinguished guests who have been generous enough to give up what might have been a .free evening in order to participate in the official openipg of this beautiful school. On behalf of the staff I wish to thank you for contributing to the suc¬ cess of what is to us a very special evening. To the parents of our students and to our other guests, I would like to extend a warm welcome to the Georges P. Vanier Junior High School. We appreciate your presence, too, and hope that we will be able to make you feel very glad you came. The staff and students are intensely proud of this beautiful school. One little girl expressed her feelings to a teacher by saying, I ' m just bugs about Vanier Schooll I think the rest of us feel much the same way too. The co-operation of the students and their bubbling enthusiasm are surely an expression of appreciation for the wonderful surroundings in which they attend school. I say this quite sincerely and not because my present staff is in the audience but because I want you to know the teachers in this school work longer hours and do it more willingly than any group with whom I have v eep associated in the past 20 years in Calgary. Everyone seems determined to live up to the high standard found in the build¬ ing itself. Without saying it in so many words, students and staff . alike seem to have accepted a motto which might very well say Only the best is good enough for our schooll You can see expression of this spirit on the soccer field, in the gymnasium, at the school social evening, in our assemblies, and even in the conduct j- n . our corridors where students are not required to change classes in lines. I am sure you will find this spirit in the numbers performed by our students on this program. It is a wonderful thing to have a fine school building, to ,have industrious teachers, to have enthusiastic, pupils, to have a central administration anxious to help in any way it can but these are not enough to ensure the success of the Georges P. Vanier School, Perhaps it is unfortunate that we cannot -succeed alone but make no mistake about it - a school cannot succeed without the active support of the parents and the community. By ourselves, we can be no more effective than a hockey team without a goal tender. We invite you, the parents., to be the goalie for Vanier School, With your help we can develop into one of the fi nest schools in this city but without . it, there are serious limits to what we can achieve. Perhaps you are thinking - just what can I do to help? There are several things. 1. Do not be too quick to judge what the teachers in your school are trying to accomplish. Be assured the teachers are doing everything in their power to make Vanier one of the best schools in the city. The initial months in any new school are filled with
