A. F. S. GILBERT, M.A., B.Sc., B.S.A. I liis year we are celebrating our 25th anniversary. Last October the Alumni held a two-day reunion. Former students came from many places near and far and had a very interesting time. About six or seven hundred ex-students with their wives or friends enjoyed a get-together on Friday night. A very impressive memorial service and a good pro¬ gram had been prepared by a hard working Alumni committee. The teaching staff provided refreshments in the cafeteria and class reunions were emphasized. On Saturday afternoon Kennedy played a league football game against Patterson. The Kennedy boys lived lip to expectations by defeating Patterson t ollegiate in a close game. Saturday night there was a very delightful dance. Our Forum looked alter the decorating of the gym and did a very fine piece of work. The ex-students were reallv enthused about it. ' The refreshments in the cafeteria during the dance brought together many reunions of old acquaintances. The Reunion was a marked success financially as well as socially. With the profits the Alumni have been able to set up a scholarship of $250 for a stu¬ dent from this year’s graduating class. They have also decided to boost the Forum scholarship for this year and succeeding years so that it will be a constant $150. I These scholarships alone will he a mark of dis¬ tinction for our 25th anniversary but the fun that the ex-students had in raising the funds for them will be what they w ill remember most. Kennedy students, teachers and principal wish to thank the Alumni for their wonderful appreciation of the needs of our present-day students.

l’atfc -I T H K K K N COLL 1955 EDITORIAL VOL. XVI — KENCOLL— 1955 Published by the Students of the Kennedy Collegiate Institute Windsor, Ontario IN REVIEW J lcrc we are at the end of another year. For many students this year will he their last at Kennedy. To these students leaving the familiar memory-filled halls of Kennedy, we dedicate this year’s Kencoll in the hope that it will some day help to recall the happy days of youth. Besides signifying the end of many high school careers, this year also marks the end of an era, Kennedy’s first quarter century of existence. For twenty-five years Kennedy has helped produce Canada’s most important commodity, her future citizens. The personalities of many hundreds of students have been moulded through the experience of living within the school routine and through daily contact with people sharing common interests and a common goal. In this respect Kennedy has succeeded in its two most important functions, the development of character and the cultivation of good citizenship. In addition to developing good citizens Kennedy Collegiate has gained the respect of the entire com¬ munity through her accomplishments in athletics, scholastic s t a n d i n g, and extra-curricular pro¬ grammes over the last twenty-five years. Our senool has always set high standards in sports as was typified this year when Kennedy teams succeeded in winning championships in football and basketball. During these past two decades and a half Kennedy st udents have continually won their share of schol¬ arships. and many more have gained respected pos¬ itions in society. To-day as in the past, such organ¬ izations as the octette, and the school orchestra, and band are capable of winning the admiration of all who hear them. In these facets of school life Ken¬ nedy need never take a back seat to any school. In the building of Kennedy ' s fine tradition, the faculty has played a most significant role. The stu¬ dents of Kennedy, indeed, owe a tremendous debt to those who have devoted their lives to the noble pursuits of enlightening young minds and of guiding young lives to a straight and true path in life. ' Peach¬ ing is an art from which the student benefits, and one philosopher aptly emphasized the importance of this art when he said: “Scratch the green rind of a sapling or wantonly twist it in the soil, and a scarred or crooked oak will tell of the act for centuries to come. So it is with the teachings of youth, which make impressions on the mind and heart that arc to last forever. The highest function of the teacher consists not so much in imparting knowledge as in stimulating the pupil in its love and pursuit. To know how to suggest is the art of teaching.’ To-day those of us who are leaving Kennedy go out into a world of uncertainty. The time is one in which the future of mankind has never looked darker. At any moment the world may be engulfed in a titanic conflict that would surely spell doom for mankind. Certainly, the highest degree of per¬ sonal courage and faith are needed by young people everywhere if our world is to be made a better and safer place in which to live. In the words of ' Penny- son we must be “strong in will to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.” THE KENCOLL STAFF Editors LAUREN ZE1LIG SUSAN ROSS Business Managers TED WILSON ALEX GERENSER Staff Advisers.Mr. T.
