Student (Council! MHili ' . . . IIP Left to Right: Stewart Smith, John Jacklitch, Jay Sinclair, Neil McLeod, Diana Jarvis, Dan Langille, Pauline Grieve, Alex Bartholomew, Hugh Ferguson, Bob Tonkin, Sue Greer. At this moment I realize how difficult a task it is to write the President ' s message. So many things have happened during my 1958-59 term in office that it is difficult to capture and tabulate them in a form that would produce interesting, informative read- ing. Therefore, rather than recap the achievements of the Students ' Administrative Council I should like to extend my thanks to all students who elected me to office as their President, a position that I shall always be proud of. I sincerely hope that I have accomplished the task in a manner expected of me. Also I should like to congratulate the representatives of the SA.C for the excellent administration that they carried out during the year. To all graduates and undergraduates I extend my best wishes for your success in all your future ventures. Dan Langille. Page 6

PRINCIPAL ' S MESSAGE It is my privilege to extend congratulations and every good wish to the members of the graduating class. In spite of the fact that this will be the largest graduating class that we have had, it gives me much pleasure to see that you have not lost the close companionship and sense of pioneering that was so evident in our smaller student body. The Technology Division includes, for the first time, graduates in Engineering Technology. I trust that you will find interesting and responsible positions in industry just as the Forestry and Mining Technologists have before you. Some of you will be going directly into employment in industry while others will continue your studies at various universities. We, of the staff, will follow your prog- ress with interest and anticipation and we wish you Godspeed. I need not remind you that there are critical and challenging years ahead. Many sociologists have expressed the view that in our struggle to make life better materially, we have concentrated on material things so long, that we have become obsessed by them. Now that we have achieved them, we want to enjoy them. There has been a tendency to carry this same attitude into our educational system. There is a feeling in high schools that students should, above all, enjoy themselves and after graduation fit into this com- fortable, static society. I believe, however, that this attitude is changing. Parents and students are begin- ning to realize that there is a hard struggle ahead and we must prepare for it. The feeling of urgency is heightened by the lively public interest in our educational system. As you go out to take your place in society you will inherit both our material com- forts and our problems. You are graduating at a time when the world is filled with opportunity but plagued by anxiety. It is my earnest hope that you will not only take full advantage of the opportunities but also make more dynamic efforts toward solving our problems. — H. S. BRAUN, Principal. Page 5
