DIVISION BOARD It gives me great pleasure to be asked to write a short message for the 1966 Yearbook. It affords me an opportunity to offer congratulations and best wishes to the graduating class — congratulations on your having reached the final stage of your high school career, and best wishes for its successful completion. I would like to thank the teachers for their excel¬ lent work in guidance throughout the year. I would also like to encourage the under-graduates to complete their high school for the prospects of a brighter future. My congratulations also to the Yearbook Committee of the 1966 Green and Gold on a job well done. H. D. Froese PAGE 5

INSPECTOR’S MESSAGE I am honored to be asked to write a message for the 1966 Yearbook. It affords me an opportunity to extend to you and your Staff sincere good wishes for your spirit in undertaking this responsible publication. I would like to quote a par t of General MacArthur’s “Address on Youth”. “Nobody grows old by merely living a number of years. People grow old by deserting their ideals. Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up interest wrinkles the soul. Worry, doubt, self-distrust, fear and despair—these are the long, long years that bow the head and turn the growing spirit back to dust. Whatever your years, there is in every being’s heart the love of wonder, the undaunted challenge of events, the unfailing child-like appetite for what is next, and the joy and the game of life. You are as young as your faith, as old as your doubt; as young as your self-confidence, as old as your fear; as young as your hope, as old as your despair. In the central place of every heart there is a recording chamber; so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, and courage, so long are you young.” At this time of year, I would like to take this opportunity to extend to you, the Teaching Staff, and the Student Body sincerest good wishes for the future. Sincerely, John H. Menzies

From the Principal’s Desk Every young man and young woman is looking forward to a happy life. How to achieve happiness is a question that primitive man as well as we today attempted to answer. Many have failed because they have no definite objections, but drifted aimlessly about, hoping to come upon the land of their dream, a Utopia. Ithas been suggested that there are five compon¬ ents of the happy life: health, work interests, friendships, and the pursuit of an ideal with the courage to pursue this ideal in the face of formidable obstacles. None of these components can separately bring happiness; it is the wholesome combination that makes for a complete and happy life. Be assured that the happy life cannot be found; it has to be made. Take each step of your life with all the wisdom you can muster. Do not let disappointments overwhelm you, but play the game of life boldly and with conviction, and happiness will be yours. To the graduating class go my best wis hes for success. I have great confidence that you will do well regardless of what field you enter. My sincere thanks to the year-book committee, for your quiet efficient way of handling a difficult and demanding job. Mr. Pete Sawatsky
