JAMES BROWN Canada ' s first Papermaker Near St. Andrews East, Quebec, stands a cairn commemorating the Argenteuil Paper Manufactory, Canada ' s first paper mill, a combination of Canadian and American capital, skill, and enterprise. In 1803, James Brown, a Montreal bookseller, purchased an old sawmill near St. Andrews and asked two New England craftsmen— Walter Ware and Benjamin Wales —to convert the mill to papermaking. By 1805 the mill was producing wrapping, writing, and printing papers. Later newsprint was also turned out at the mill. Although it operated for only about 30 years before being destroyed by a flood, this little mill has the honour of being the forerunner of Canada ' s largest manufacturer and largest exporter— the pulp and paper industry— which generates, directly or indirectly, one out of every seven dollars in the income of every Canadian. For nearly 50 years The Ontario Paper Company has participated in the historic development of Canada ' s most important industry. It is a leading manufacturer of news- print, pulps, and chemical products. More than 95% of its products are exported to earn important trade dollars for Canada. Through planned forest management, research and development, and re-investment in operations, it will continue to bring stability and long-term rewards to Canada and Canadians. THE ONTARIO PAPER COMPANY LIMITED THOROLD, ONTARIO Papermakers since 1913

The Grantham Gander is our school newspaper. It consists of editorials, class notes, sports write ups and a joke page. The two editors, Bruce Jackson and Betty Szmaszek, work with their staff to produce a paper each month. Staff advisor, Mrs. Paul offers advice and assists with the typing. Many students perform valuable jobs such as typing and writing editorials fo r the Gander. This marks the eighth year of the Grantham Gander. Although the Gander has changed from a 2 page paper to a 10 page paper, the price has remained the same - just 5 . This 5 f: goes towards a bursary that is presented to the student with the highest mark in Upper School English. This year Everett Cairns received the bursary. With the co-operation of the whole student body, this should prove to be a very successful year. FIRST ROW, Left fo Right: B. Szymaszek, B. Jackson, J. Brewster, D. Gafenby, E. Boudreau, J. Lloyd, K.
