Headmaster ' s Message To the Graduates: This year ' s graduates leave the relatively quiet and protected confines of the Halifax Grammar School to face a world that presents them with a rather perplexing picture. On the one hand Canada, and with it most of the developed world, is locked into an inflationary spiral; while on the other hand, unemployment and recession grow. Some do no work because they strike for the higher wages that will result in still high prices, others because there is not enough work to involve everyone who is available for work. Will real growth become the norm again? Will a high rate of unemployment become customary? Will society shift the great value it places on the consumption of the earth ' s resources for the convenience and pleasure of relatively few people to the utilization of the earth ' s resources to preserve the quality of our environment for the benefit of all people? In the face of these ponderables, how can a new graduate plan for the future with any degree of certainty? The answer is, of course, that plans for the future cannot be made with the same high degree of certainty to which we have been accustomed. But Graduates! You can enjoy security in the future — the security that you have now a highly developed imagination and thought process. When you grapple with the problems that inevitably you will face, your imagination will raise a variety of solutions for your thinking to explore. Your thought processes will show you how to implement those solutions which satisfy your common sense, ethics, and morals best. You have met the very stiff academic challenge that the Halifax Grammar School offers and you have met it well. The sound minds you have developed in response to this challenge should permit you to meet any future challenge, I am certain, with confidence and poise — if you believe in yourselves. I beli eve in you and am proud of each and everyone of you. 4
