COURAGE — TRUTH — RIGHT FOREWORD E. F. WILLOUGHBY Principal. IT IS a real pleasure for me to introduce this issue of the Kelvin Year Book, commemorating Manitoba ' s eightieth anniversary as a Province ot Confederation (1870-1950), and to dedicate it to those pioneers whose faith, industry, and perseverance laid the solid foundation upon which the develop¬ ment of this Province has been built. Within these pages is recorded the history of the school year, and the many and varied activities described emphasize the changes that have taken place in the functions of the high school since pioneer times. That the simple educational program of the early days was adequate for the needs of that time is evident when we consider the fine leadership which has always been given to the building of this great Province; but as the pattern of life underwent change, so had the school program to keep pace. While holding fast to the best traditions of the past, the modern high school must serve many needs which have arisen during the past eighty years. The present enriched and varied program is designed to meet the responsibility of supplying a training to fit the needs of contemporary life, so that present and future generations may make their full contribution to the building, not only of this Province, but of our country and the world beyond our borders. At this time, too, I extend congratulations and good wishes to the gradu¬ ating class of 1950 who, I am sure, will worthily maintain the traditions established by the graduates of other years. 4
