v m n ff- F ' X , QA, ' X I f lhe vear 1948 brings vou the twelfth edition of .Xcta Nostra. Like allvprecedipg Acta Nostras. it represents the work and co-operation of the teachers,-especiallv Miss Sinclair, Miss Cowie, and Mr. Dixon-of a number of students, and of our good friends. the advertisers of the citv of Guelph. To them the editorial staff wishes to express their sincere appreciation. In our troubled world. cooperation is one of the hardest. and most important lessons which must be learned,' and vve are grateful for the experience we have gained in working together on .Xcta Nostra. D I XVe should first like to welcome the new teachers who have Joined our staff within the past two vears. Mr. Hamilton. our principal. who had but recentlv assumed his post when the last edition of Acta Nostra was published. is now a tried and true friend for whom we have the greatest respect and affection. iWe have also made pleasurable HCQll21ll1lCl11CE?S with Miss McGill. Miss Brvden. Mr. Bugle, and Mr. Tobey, who joined the staff in 1946. and. this vein, we extend a heartv welcome to Mr. Macliav. Mr. XVatson. Mr, Gamble, and Mr. Reid, interviews with whom you will find in this' cc-pv of Acta Nostra. 1Ve also bid good-bve to M1 .Newsteacl, and wish him the best of luck in his new position on the Vocational Guidance staff of the Department of Education. Since the last publication of Acta Nostra. a new and verv important organization has Become a 13311 of our school life. The Students' Council. elected bv' the students to represent them and to carrv ottt projects beneficial to us all. has, in two years. fullv proved its worth. The students have been given an opportunitv to practise demo- cratic and responsible government: first, through the election of a president, vice- president, and secretarv for the Council, and. secondlv. bv' keeping themselves well in- formed about the achievements of their elected representatives. There is little question, judging from the election campaigns of the past two vears. of the interest of the Sltl- dents when thev are called upon to choose their representatives, but we have vet to learn to take advantage of our right to question and criticize or approve of their acttlal achievements. Where will we have a better chance to learn the duties of a good citizen than right here at the G. C. Y. 1.? In the 1918 Acta Nostra, von will find all phases of our school life fullv repre- sented. The sports activities of the vear for both bovs and girls have been faithfullv recorded: literature. music, ancient and modern languages. and science are representedg and our scholarship winners are dulv' honoured. Our social life has not been neg- lected. nor have we omitted to describe our assemblies. 1'nder the headings of Alumni and Exchange. you will learn of old friends who have recentlv left the school, and of new friends who have exchinged their school magazines with' us. For the graduating class, Acta Nostra is a particularlv treasured inemento. and. therefore, we have tried. under the heading Graduates 1948, to give them a lasting remembrance of their vears at G. C. V. I. ' As vou will remember, this vear saw the rebirth of a Dramatic Club in our school. Acta Nostra salutes this worthv organiiation with a full account of its first, and verv successful. presentation of A. A. Milne's 'The Romantic Aee'. The Art Committee deserves. we feel. special connnendation. ilVithout the artistic page headings and tail-pieces, the pages of Acta Nostra would not be half so pleasing to the eve, anti we know that a single glance through their cartoons, scattered thronvfh- out the pages, will set von chuckling appreciativelv. U N And now. wivthout further introduction. we present for your perusal the 1948 edition of- Acta Nostra. It is the sincere hope of the editorial staff that you will enjoy reading it as ruuch as we have enjoyed its preparation. -josephine S. Boyd, XIIA,
