Principalgs hiessatge T0 rua cnaouarmc crass-1938. First let me congratulate you on the successful termina- tion of four years of study and training. You have met the re- quirements set forth by the Education Department of the Province for the High School Commercial Course, and have won the Pro- vincial High School Graduation Commercial Diploma. In completing this work with that degree of thoroughness that has enabled you to reach the required standards, you have accumulated certain knowledge and acquired certain habits and skills. Such accomplishments may, perhaps, have produced a con- sciousness of superiority and power. You are now leaving the protected life oi the school room to test your strength against the problems of a business life which is beset with a maze of economic mal-adjustments. Do not be discouraged by your failure to achieve immediate success in your aims. Also, you must guard against the conunon weakness of youth of all ages, of being intolerant at present conditions and impatient at the attempts of the oider generations to solve the pressing problems of society. Remember the sage remark of the great humourist Mark Twain: 'When I was sixteen years of age I was amazed at the colossal ignorance of my father, but when I reached the age of twenty-one, I was more amazed at the amount he had learned in five short years- Whatever your vicissitudes in life may be, you may rest assured that you carry with you the best wishes of the Staff of your school for the utmost success in your endeavours. L. W. Taylor

EDITORIAL We are now approaching the end of another year, the last year for some of us, and with it the end of many pleasant asso- ciations. To me, the most enjoyable has been working with the Annual Editorial staff, and I wish to take this opportunity of thanking them for their hard work and hearty co-operation. We acknowledge, too, all the work done by class reporters and club secretaries. We nope that next year they will carrv on the tra- ditions of the Grandview Annual with as much spirit as they have shown this year, and with increasing success. In submitting the 1938 Annual, we hope it will, for you, the students of Grandview Commerce, be a true record of the achievements ot the school in all fields of activity, This is the fifth consecutive issue of the Annual of Grand- view High School of Commerce. Since the first issue in 1934, it has grown by leaps and bounds. ln 1934, there were 32 pages and no pictures. In l935, there were 50 pages and 5 pages of pictures. In l936, there were 68 pages and 10 pages of pictures. And in 1937, there were 90 pages 3170 I7 pages of pictures. This record speaks for itself . It shows the enthusiastic and progres- sive spirit of the students of this school. Each year the annual is dedicated to some activity that has attracted universal in- terest. This year it is dedicated to the British Empire Games which took place in Australia early this spring. Another thing that should make the students proud of their school Annual is the fact that it is essentially their own pro- duction, students write it, students edit it, and students print it, As Editor, I wish to express, on behalf of the Editorial Staff, sincere thanks to Miss Williamson, Mr. Jones, Mr. Brooks, and Mr. Lockhart for their valuable help in compiling this book.
