Headmaster ' s Message With all the activities this school participates in, it is difficult to comment on one page particularly as this message is written at the new year when but three months have past. We have already had our successes but in particular I would like to comment on this years newcomers. Ours is a unique school which can not be all things for all people. New students invariable have to make adjustments as our expectations, our manner in doing things is often very different from what they have previously experienced. Some cannot or will not adjust and they become our loss. But as I reflect upon the many new students this year (68 in all!) and not incidentally having just completed all the first term reports, I can ' t help but remark on their success as students and as members of this community. They and not incidentally the four new members of staff, have not only added to the school but also helped shape it as each year it takes on new definition as reflected by the people in it. Next year promises to be different and that is what makes our association with this school so refreshing, so we thank our new members for helping make it so. Peter Montgomery Headmaster 5 '

Dedication A school dance? A gym program? A winter carnival? None of these events would be possible without the Student Council, an extremely valuable part of our school. The Student Council consists of a president, a vice president, a treasurer, a secretary and six class repre- sentatives. Together they work to devise money raising schemes, deal with pending duties and represent the student body to the best of their ability. The Winter Carnival is organized by the Student Council and 1 don ' t know if everyone realizes how time- consuming it is for many council members who must organize all the events, provide prizes, and generally give all the students a good time. This year ' s Carnival was very successful and I ' m sure it will be remembered for a long time. H.G.S. Dances are also run by the Student Council and require many extra hours at the school getting things ready and cleaning up. During the dance, the council members are busy at the canteen, coat check or entrance. Much of this work seems to go unacknowledged. To remedy this, we, the Grammarian staff, would like to dedicate this year ' s edition of the Grammarian to the Student Council, in recognition of all their efforts.
