-Q I J - Principals Message I am owner of the sphere, Of the seven stars and the solar year, Of Caesarfs hand and Plalo's braini, Of Lord Clzrisfs heart and .Slzakespeares strain. -Elnersorz Acta Nostra has become one of the most revered traditions associated with Guelph Collegiate-Vocational Institute. It represents the combined efforts of Staff and Students, past ana present, and has become the focal point of our community of interests. To those many who have directly contributed to this year's edition, appreciation is gratefully given. lt is dif- ficult to single out any for special approbation without overlooking some whose services have been invaluable. However, I know you want me tv make special mention of those Staff members, Bliss Sinclairf Miss Cowie and Mr. Dixon, by whose genius Acta Nostra was born and has been developed over the years. These teachers have given endless hours of their time, willingly and unstintingly, of course, but at some personal sacrifice. to keep alive the influence of this great venture. More recently Mr. Bogle has assisted with the management of the finances. XVe are indebted to him. New teachers are coming on the Staff who will add their measure in new and valuable ways. The student body have always supplied the personnel and the material for a successful year book. 'lhis year we are verv for- tunate in having an editor of the calibre ol Josephine Boyd. She' is a brilliant student, a fine organizer, and has a tremendous capacity for hard work. Josephine with her committee chairmen and their technical assistants have combined with the members of the Staff to make the smoothest and most efficient editorial board I have yet seen. On your behalf we do them honour and express our appreciation. Has the year been a good one? I think it has. The completion of the passageway between the two schools has been an outstanding accomplish- ment. Soon a new body of students will be within our halls who have never braved the elements of nature at thirty minute intervals. andthe older graduates will twit them about becoming elifeminate. There has been a broader participation on the part of the students in intramural activity than ever before. Our school teams have done us proud on the Athletic fields. Our Curling Club Committee were co-sponsors of the first Ontario High school bonspiel and it was an unqualified success. Our student council has given good leadership in student government and has been responsible for the splendid enterprises, among them, cards and boxes to our own shut-ins, the Christmas Party, student rate-cards, and the boxes for Britain. Our exa- mination results were very good. YVe have built character and those traits which go to make the good citizen. Yes. we have had a good year. To those who are leaving our halls this year I should like to suggest that thev take their hats off to the past and their coats off to the future. You realize that for you the future was never brighter nor more challen- ging. There are very difficult problems to be solved, new fields to explore, new horizons to discover. and indeed, big jobs to be done. Do not falter but have confidence in vour abilities. Understand well that you have to give service, that in life lyou get nothing for nothing and that you owe it to YOLII' successors to build wisely and well for them. Be assured that your friends at Guelph Collegiate-Vocational Institute are watching you hopefully and will follow you with benevolent interest.
