For in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. Although the foregoing text has a deep spiritual significance, I would like to borrow it in order to bring out some truths inherent in schooling and education generally. The Biblical writer mentions a reaping. That indicates strongly that some devoted and careful work must have gone before; work of seed-bed preparation, seeding, and cultivation for weeds. A parallel is obvious here when we consider our efforts in the educational field. Here, too, rewards can be expected--but only if students, teachers, parents, school boards, and inspectors put forth un stinted, vigorous, and directed energy toward a common goal. That aim, I suggest, should be to mould young minds and hearts in such a manner that the resulting graduates will be better able to cope with rapidly-changing, often highly complex world conditions and trials, both physically and spiritually. Reaping, howevet, is to come only in due season. We as educators need not expect perfect results immediately. The fruits of the educational labours of the present decade may only come at a later time, when other educators fill our places. Quite possibly we may never notice many of these results during our lifetime. Contemplating these possibilities, we may be dismayed or even discouraged in trying to achieve or to give an education. If we faint not” suggests perseverance, however. No half-hearted measures will carry us through to our objective. Our seniors, who expect to graduate shortly, have learned that much concentrated effort is required to come out on top. We congratulate them on work well done, and wish them well as they, in their turn, go out into the world ' s fields of endeavour. As this 1962 issue of the Green and Gold goes to press, it will preserve for the future much of what has made this year a memorable one. What a year it has been! Not only have we changed our name from Goodwill Collegiate to Grunthal Collegiate, but with this change has come also our move into this beautiful, modern school building with its many up-to-the-minute big-city facili- ties--truly an edifice to be proud of! Let us all live up to our greatl y improved surroundings. Our warm thanks go out to students, parents, staff members, our school board, and inspector, as well as to our many advertising friends who have made this yearbook possible. Sincerely,

This last year has seen us bidding farewell to the Goodwill High School and temporary quarters, and orient ourselves in the new Collegiate. The year no doubt has had its joys and disappointments for all of you. For the graduates it is a special occasion to be the first finished product to come out of this Institution. It gives me pleasure to extend congratulations from the Division Board and myself. It is my hope that you will take your place in this world as individuals with high morals and ideals. You have inherited the integrity to work from your parents who have never enjoyed the advantages which they are so gladly providing for you. Jac. A. Martens.
