FROM THE CHAIR OF THE VICE-PRINCIPAL Man ' s challenge in the next one hundred years, like the one hundred years that preceded it, is to establish a world at peace. In the brave new world of 1967 with all the wonders of its technology, the hard fact remains that man cannot get along with man . As each generation fights for its ideals, its race or its creed, the stakes become higher and the results more disastrous. We have reached the stage where your generation must find the solution In Canada, with our bilingual and multicultural background, we have an op- portunity to set an example for the world. If in this environment of plenty, we can- not establish an atmosphere of mutual trust and respect, there is little hope for the rest of, the world. The challenge is yours; you must respond. R. M. Dunlop.

OUR PRINCIPAL SPEAKS PRINCIPAL ' S MESSAGE In this great Centennial year of our democratic nation Canada, we must take some time to reflect upon the ideals which built this country, established its prestige in the eyes of other nations and made our forefathers aware of a free society. These same ideals within our nation today provide employment for all who have the ambitions, the ability or the skills - and protection and care for the young, the old and for the sick. In addition, opportunities unexcelled elsewhere exist in every field for those who approach the challenges of education and training with mature outlooks . It is of utmost importance for us to realize the pressures of ever-changing and modern demands in our education systems across Canada. Our nation relies strongly on the promise of its youth. Education and teaching will continue to exist as vital national concerns . The realization of all our ideals will be continued by the generation to come, if we now appreciate the importance of those which helped to build our past. And how may some of these ideals be labelled? May we suggest that you as the youth of Canada think seriously on these:- patriotism, loyalty, self-respect, decency, honour and work . These built what we now enjoy. B. L. Bradley,
