GORDON BELL HIGH SCHOOL DEDICATORY X N THE SCHOOL Library are two booklets which every student of Gordon Bell High School should read. They are copies of addresses delivered by Dr. E. W. Montgomery on the life of Dr. Gordon Bell, in whose memory the school is named, and in the record of his life is an inspiration which all will cherish. No finer memorial to such a man could be established than a school devoted to those ideals toward which he so persistently strove. Herein lies an obligation on each member of the staff and of the student body. Does this school reflect these interests and ideals and by multiplying their influence nine hundred fold make them an effective force in Winnipeg? First and foremost we must emulate his qualities of generosity, humor, willingness to co-operate, courage, sincerity, and self-sacrifice. Education is a means to live, not a means to earn a living, and a school worthy of existence must encourage each individual to a complete expression of his or her per¬ sonalities through activities designed for the well-being of the whole school and of the community. In the classroom, on the athletic field, in a chorus, orchestra or play, in all our life at school as in our life outside the school, there can be no real success or happiness without the exercise of these qualities of character. Dr. Bell was a profound student, his interests were wide and comprehensive. Superficiality in knowledge he never tolerated and no effort was too exacting to acquire a thorough understanding of any subject he studied. There is an old adage that knowlege is power, but more especially is it true that a practice in acquiring knowledge gives power. A mind stored with worth-while facts is better than a vacuum, but a mind that has been trained in concentration and in clear, logical thinking is invaluable. I wish to thank the students and teachers of the school for their co-oper¬ ation during the past year. In all our undertakings there has been shown a spirit of sportsmanship, a true school spirit; the officers of the student organiz¬ ations are to be congratulated on their initiative and enterprise, and the teachers thanked for their generosity with time and energy both in and out of the class¬ room. The spirit exhibited by the members of our athletic teams, choruses, orchestra, casts of the plays and stunt nights, has been worthy of the name of the Gordon Bell School. We acknowledge a real debt to the members of the staff of the Purple and Gold for their pain-staking efforts towards the successful presentation of this first number of our year book. The editorial and business executives have co¬ operated to give us a book of which we are proud, and which, in years to come, will serve as a welcome reminder of our days in the year 1932-33 at the Gordon Bell. MR. O. V. JEWITT.
