T ' Uncifazl 4 ‘Tft i aye With the rising costs of education, some critics classify education as being too extravagant. Never the less, education is still w the biggest investment bargain. It costs approximately $425 to edu¬ cate a child for one year. Twelve years of education costs approximately $5,000. What are the benefits of this investment? 1. According to the Dominion Bureau of Statistics, a grade ten or eleven stu¬ dent contributes $10,710 to his lifetime earnings by completing one year of high school. A grade twelve matriculation student receives $20,970 in increased earnings by completing his matricula¬ tion program. 2. Education gives a wider choice of careers. For example, only 30 of today ' s jobs (and this percentage is declining) are open to emi-skilled of unskilled personnel. 3. Continuing one s education avoids dead-end employ¬ ment-jobs which automotion replaces or jobs with limit¬ ed promotion possibilities. 4. Although all people do not have similar mental, social, or mechanical abilities, education allows one to make maximum use of one ' s potential. 5. Since democracy demands that citizens make decis¬ ions, democracy will survive only with thinking men and women. In conclusion, I refer to Rev. Grant ' s expression used in religious instruction classes, How would you like to be married to a job you do not like? Incidentally, in a modern space age, it is difficult to get a divorce from such a marriage without education. On behalf of the La Glace Student ' s Union, I would like to thank everyone who helped to make this year the success it was. I am sure that the students of the La Glace High School had an enjoyable and profitable time this year. I feel very honoured to have been elected as president again this term, and I know that I have benefited a great deal from the experience. The executive, staff, and the students all were co-oper¬ ative and made my term in office pleasant. To the graduates who will leave this school for high¬ er education or perhaps to join the working class, I wish

the best of luck in any new venture and hope that you will be as successful elsewhere as you were in this school. I am sure, however, that memories of La Glace High School will never fade from your minds. To the students continuing at La Glace, I also wish the best of everything in the coming school days. It is you who will continue to further the honour of our school. Remember, Nothing Without Effort. 7 £ Ufo% The name of this year’s yearbook has probably caused many of you to wonder what it means. Pion-Modo is Latin; Pion means pioneer and Modo means modern. The reason for calling this yearbook Pion-Modo is that it includes both past and present articles. I would like you to realize that the complete book (all typing, drawing, and picture arranging) was done by the stu¬ dents. Any mistakes are not due to care¬ lessness on the printer ' s part. Our appre -ciation is extended to Menzies Printer ' s for their co-op¬ eration in making this yearbook economically possible. May this book serve as a memory and treasure in years to come. How c’n I write the word ’book’ when there’s only one ’o ' on this silly typewriter?
