ADMINISTRATION-FACULTY jy ANITOBA first came into world history during the adventurous days of the early 17th century through a desire to find a short sea route to the riches of the Orient and through a strong European demand for more beaver fur to make men ' s hats. The first white visitor off the coast of the great northern bay which still bears his name was Henry Hudson in 1611 sailing the Discovery in search of a North West Passage. His fate is unknown. Accord ing to the records, the first white man to set foot on Manitoba soil was Sir Thomas Button in 1612. He took possession of the country for the King of England. This northern part of Manitoba has been British territory ever since, and has been under one flag longer than any other extensive part of British North America.

PROVINCIAL ADMINISTRATION THE HONOURABLE C. RHODES SMITH, K.C. Minister of Education GREETINGS . . . JT IS with a deep sense of obligation and of gratitude that I welcome this opportunity of greeting, on behalf of the Department of Education, the staff and students of Kelvin High School. There have been many events of late that have brought vividly to our minds the chang¬ ing pattern of life in this Province of ours. Manitoba ' s Eightieth Birthday this year recalls the modes of life of a bygone era. It recalls too something of the vigour and the courage, the fortitude and the faith of those men and women who in such a short space of time have developed the social, political, and economic institutions of this great Keystone Province. In January 1912, your school—or may I say our school, for I am proud to recall that I was a member of the first class to graduate at Kelvin — began to play its part in the affairs not only of the City of Winnipeg and the Province of Manitoba but also in the wider spheres of our national life — your great Honour Rolls alone bear ample witness to that. But not alone in the dramatic events recorded in the annals of world history have the graduates of this school maintained the traditions of an earlier day. You may find in the peaceful walks of life, within our Province and beyond its bounds, men and women, trained in your classrooms, who now, quietly and without ostentation, yet non-the-less stead¬ fastly and worthily, are playing their parts in the changing scene. They too are helping to weave the new pattern — but the threads they are using are drawn from that cultural tradition of which you are the heirs today. As you in turn set forth to play your part in the fashioning of your world, you may be sure that you have with you the best wishes of us all. 10
