Jsvnpact One of the fundamental tasks of any school in Canada is to develop in its students an appreciation of democracy. There is a danger, however, while ex- tol ing the virtues of democracy, to over- look the demands it places on its adher- ents. Although we stress liberty, we do not allow licence and although we grant freedoms, we do not allow irresponsibil- ity. One fundamental concept of demo- cracy is Rule by Law . Our freedoms are defined within the limits of the law. It is this concept that is often overlooked by students in their attempt to practice democracy. Freedom without order is not democracy; it is not liberty; it is not desirable. So if at times at Hillcrest our rules seem severe or perhaps even trivial, re- member, they are not designed to limit freedom but to provide the greatest free- dom, for the greatest number, within an orderly school society. R. M. Dunlop. W. Sctcie srrom the [-Principal It was Thomas Carlyle (1795 - 1881) Bri- tish essayist, historian and philosopher who wrote Let each become all that he was created capable of being. Today the goal of helping each individ- ual achieve his unique character is indeed one of giant proportions. None but a free and res- ponsible people marching toward a magnificent destiny would attempt it. It is the schools of this land which must largely assume responsi- bility for preserving and developing the special talent and character of each individual. It is well recognized in Canada that the foundation of this country is the education of its youth and the future greatness of our nation is directly proportional to and dependent on its education- al programme. My sincere hope is that you at Hillcrest will continue to share fully in this particular gift our Nation provides. I feel that together we are building a great school and when you look back in later years be proud that you con- tributed to it, as well as gained from it. B. L. Bradley.

¥ - RICHARD ALLEN: Let us have wine, women, mirth, and laughter; Sermons and soda-water the day after. Don ' t be fooled by the quote Richard gave us. That cherchez les femmes attitude really means that Rick is a serious worker. GILLIAN AXFORD: It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to speak up and remove all doubt. Throughout Gill ' s stay at Hill crest she has been an active participant in interform basket- ball but she refuses to comment on her outside acfivites. Next year will find her at Teacher 1 s Col lege where we know she will be success- ful. GAIL ANDREW: A friend to all and to all a friend. Gail has been wandering around the halls of Hill crest for 5 years now and her favour- ite pastime seems to be trying to understand Mr. Meloche ' s French Questions. Next year Gail plans to become a medical laboratory technician . PENNEY BARTER: Flattery is telling a person what he thinks of him- self . Penney has been brightening Hill crest ' s halls for 5 years now. She has been in the band, on the Students Council and is also a mem- ber of the Drama Club.

FRANK ARMSTRONG: Tis better to be meek than fierce , Frank is a quiet boy who devotes most of his time to his studies. His 5 years at Hilt crest have been quite uneventful but he hopes things will pick up next year when he attends Carleton University. JACK BAYLIN: Patience, and shuffle the cards. Jack is terminating a very successful high school career. He will go to university next year and then into the business of a close relative.

She plays all the interform sports and her plans for next year include Carleton. BARBARA BEATT1E: I love work, I can sit and watch it for hours . Barb ' s five years have been packed with activity both inside school and out. She spends most of her time writing letters to Toronto but she still finds time to help her friends with their Biology.

GERALDINE AXFORD: Never praise a sister to a sister, in the hope of your compliments reaching the proper ears. Geraldine has enjoyed her stay here at Hill crest, but she has not given us any indication as to what she wants to do next year. Will she follow her sister to T.C. ? MARGARET BEAUMONT: The game ' s the thing . Marg ' s athletic trends are shown by her participation in basketball and her status as a G.A.A. representative.
