GUEST ' EDITORIAL There has been a lot of talk about unemployment in Canada during the past winter, and a lot of people have been examining the situation. One fact has emerged from all the argument and discussion] I think it has emerged with absolute clarity. A great many people who are unemployed today are out of work because they lack the edu¬ cation and the training to hold a job. The world is changing at a breathless pace. There is less and less room in it for the unskilled and the uneducated] and as time goes on, higher and higher levels of skill will be required from everybody employed in industry. From the end of the Second World War until a year or two ago, it was possible for teen-agers to quit school early, get them¬ selves some sort of a job in man-hungry industry, and go on earning a living without concerning themselves further about their education. But now they face an uncharitable world which is less and less interested in employees with a grade VII or VIII education. Thousands of them doubtless wish they had resisted the temptation to earn easy money when they were 16 or 17 years old] but it is too late. They must look forward to a life in which only a miracle can give them another chance. It is, doubtless, still possible to leave school early and find some kind of a wage-earning job. It may look attractive at first but it is the deadliest kind of dead end. Don ' t be lured into it. Basil Dean, Vice President and Publisher, THE CALGARY HERALD

EDITOR ' S MESSAGE During the first year of Georges P. Vanier Junior High School, many worthwhile things have boen accomplished. I feel that the students and staff of our school have done an admirable job, organizing many clubs and activities that have greatly contributed to the numerous attributes our school has acquired. Among these have been students ' council, junior leaders, press club, safety- patrol, cheerleaders, majorettes’ and many others. The students who have participated freely in those extra-curricular activities will have derived a great feeling of satisfaction from doing a job so well, I think everyone will agree when I say that our first year at Vanier has been a great success. The Press Club, in order to keep up with these other activi¬ ties, has published three issues of the Voix de Vanier , which we hope you have enjoyed. We also sincerely hope that you like the yearbook in which we have attempted to capture memorable events in the first year at Vanier Junior High. We wish to express our thanks to the students, teachers, and office staff who gave much needed help in order to compile this yearbook. - Wendy Wiltzen - PRINCIPAL ' S MESSAGE It is hoped that Term Talk will contain .a wealth of happy memor¬ ies for all who were part of making this’ first year at Vanier such a wonderful success. Many of us watched the building develop into a fine structure of which we can feel proud. Schools are not measured in terms of the building and equipment - of these we have the best - but rather do we examine the people and see what they have made of themselves through the use of the facilities. Let ' s take a look at our accomplishments as a school. We have some very fine students whose names have appeared on the Honour Roll and the Improvement List but these are too few in number. After we have subtracted names from the under-achievement list, there isn ' t much left. Our sports program has been commendable, our social activities have been first rate, our clubs were interesting and informative, many of our stu¬ dents are improved citizens and all of us have a healthier respect for what is right. Our student councils have been active, our press club faithful, our safety patrol has been efficient. In brief we have a tremendous success story except for one black mark - too many loafers and too much deadwoodl Nevertheless, as a school we have faced up to our problem and most of us have done something about it. Congratulations to staff, students, and caretakers for a job very well done. Best wishes to the Nines who are leaving and to those who are remaining - be yours to hold the torch on high. To those who didn ' t do their part this year, we pass the responsibility for building a better school next year. Let them not fail a second time! - Mr. A. Wilcox
