- 5 - H.-]Am IASTEE ' S MESSAGE The warmth and brightness of the last few days have encouraged me to assess our achievements since the start of the school year. The results of the assessment have contri- buted to the conclusion that 1962-1965 has been a most success- ful year. The demolition of the house close to the street has brightened the front of the building and allowed the public to be aware of our existence. The recent addition of an asphalt driveway makes the entrance to the school much less hazardous. The erection of the fence has clearly marked our boundaries and serves the purpose of keeping us (and our footballs) on our own grounds. LIuch work has been done on the back field and, weather permitting, it v ill have been seeded by the time you receive this issue of the Grammarian. I am well pleased with our academic progress at all levels. Constant hard v ork will be needed to maintain and raise still further the standards that have been established. I am confident that all members of the school will strive to reach and surpass these standards. The following pages v ill indicate to the reader that we have not wasted our spare time. Visiting speakers, athletic and swim-meets, hockey, a concert, the formation of a School Council, and the establishment of several clubs have contri- buted to the lighter side of school life. Hard wor ' ' , good humour, co-operation, and an appre- ciation of the problem.s of others contribute to success and enjo; ment m school, I have enjoyed my first year at the Grammar School, because we have done much to meet these four requirements. To the teachers and to the boys 1 say, ' Thank you for your help and co-operation during the year. ' This third edition of the Grammarian is not the least of our accomplishments. Ky congratulations go to the editor, his staff and the contributors. With Best Wishes for an enjoyable vacation. J. Russell McNeill, Hoadmaster .
