LAKEHEAD TECHNICAL INSTITUTE YEAR BOOK MARILYN PRITCHARD, Editor Editorial It is with a proud feeling of achievement that we present Volume II of the Lake- head Technical Institute Year Book. When the Year Book staff was assembled last fall, we were a group with little editorial experience behind us, and a great deal of work before us. We could not have accomplished our task alone. On behalf of the Year Book staff, I would like to thank Eric Newman, who spent so much of his time at the school dances taking pictures for the Year Book; Miss Pouncy who made such an excellent job of the students ' portraits; Mr. Ross for his guidance and advice; and all the business men who, by their interest and advertisements, have made the publica- tion of this 1951 Year Book possible. We have realized our goal, and feel sure that an- other tradition has become established at the Lakehead Tehnical Institute. The Lakehead Technical Institute has much to offer the people of Northwestern Ontario. Before the Institute was opened, local high school graduates wishing to con- tinue their education had to travel almost a thousand miles to the nearest university in Ontario. Although the economy of this region is largely founded on the mining and forestry industries, there was no school anywhere in Northwestern Ontario where young men could be trained for these industries. Now, graduates from the two-year technical courses in Mining and Forestry at the Lakehead Technical Institute can suc- cessfully compete with older men who have spent years learning on the job in woods or mines. The demand for technical course graduates far exceeds the supply. In the University Division at the Institute, first-year courses in Arts. Applied Science, Commerce and Forestry are offered. Graduates from these courses must com- plete their work for a degree at another university. Our former students have established a commendable record of success in their university work. The instructors at the Insti- tute are able to give individual attention to each student, and help him to bridge suc- cessfully the wide gap between high school and university work. Public School teachers wishing to obtain credits for their Permanent Teachers Certificates are also accom- modated in the Arts classes. Plans have been made for the expansion of the Lakehead Technical Institute into a Junior College. The founding of this Junior College will depend on the interest and support shown by the people in the area served by the Lakehead Technical Institute. We hope that this Year Book will show to those interested the work carried on by our school, as well as provide the Class of 1951 with a cherished chronicle of their year at Lakehead Technical Institute.
