Inspector s Comments May I express my thanks for the opportunity of contributing to your Yearbook and to express my regret at not getting to know more of the students of your Collegiate. In the midst of this vast educational change, where knowledge is reported to be doubling every ten years, as compared to every seventeen hundred years in die past, it is indeed time to take stock. Subjects are being revised in a manner which will cause more thinking and less memoriz¬ ing. Much is being said about the need for adult education and for re-training people three times during their normal span of life. In the midst of this scramble for more and more education, it is important that you choose your course wisely. Life in school is not, or should not, be confined purely to the academic. While schools and further training enable you to have jobs and positions in life, the pursuit of wealth alone is not sufficient. School should be a place where all the faculties of youth are utilized and developed. School is a training for life and for a better use of leisure time. 4

Principal ' s Words MR. JOHNNY DRIEDGER Goodwill Elementary School Grunthal High School Teachers’ College United College Teaohing Experience . 9 years On Q. C. Staff . 3 yeara Mathematloa. XII Chemistry . XI History. IX Life involves a consistent, complex pattern of human relationships. Education must therefore serve to pro¬ mote and better these relationships or else it loses its true meaning. It is the inability to adjust or to fit into these patterns in some way, that breeds failure, bitterness, hate and total unhappiness. We hope that In this past year, we who have worked together here at our collegiate, students and teachers, have achieved a little more than the mere academic standards, to which we devote so much time. We hope that the students have achieved an awareness of the people in the world and around us; that they may have begun to formulate a set of sound principles to live by, principles which are based on truth, love and goodness; that they may learn to pursue and have faith in the good life , and may be willing to give something to humanity; and that they may become loaders In their own field because of the educational opportunities provided for them. With sincere and humble sentiments I would like to extend thanks to the staff who so kindly took the interest of the school to heart. Moreover I would like to extend thanks to the student body for their efforts throughout the year, especially to the senior students who accepted the responsibilities of establishing a mature and genuine attitude toward the work and activities that were carried on here. Their willingness to co-operate and take part in the school program as a whole has added so much color to this year. I believe that we will be able to look back on this year ' s activities and progress, and in all humility bo able to say “We have fought a good fight . May the pages of this annual be a pleasant reminder of our associations in the Grunthal Collegiate. 6
