1 I by the staff is readily made available to the student situation. S.A.C. Message On entering the Lakehead College, we started a new project in life, and, as with any new project, the groundwork, the foundation on which it is built has a major influence on the finished product. This has a two-fold meaning: First, the foundation we as graduates build for the College, and secondly, and more important to the individual, the foundation the College can provide for us, as citizens and men of learn- ing. Let us look at the construction more closely. Due to our relatively small size and isolated geographic location, we are limited in inter-collegiate competitions, and social functions. Nevertheless, although these factors are definite liabilities, they contribute to a closely-knit and well-informed student body inside the college itself. Staff, students and faculty are melted together to form one complete whole. We students in first year university, will find that the firm foundation required to make a success in later life is quite adequately attained in a school of this size, where individual attention who requests it. The wise take full advantage of this Here, at the Lakehead College, the staff does not remain on some aloof pinnacle. Teachers par- ticipate in most student activities, including chess, and bridge tournaments, soccer games, curling matches, stags, banquets and dances. Those who have attended larger schools cannot but agree that such a situation is rarely found, and when it does exist, it is an advantage both to the staff and to the students. The intermingling of faculties is beneficial to all concerned. Rather than forming cliques con- sisting of one faculty, discussing topics of interest only to them, the students mix, and learn to discuss subjects pertaining to other faculties — Forestry, Applied Science, Arts, Engineering, Technology, Medical Technology. The student here is in an environment more like the one he might find in the outer world. In these surroundings, a technical student is often persuaded to pursue a university degree, rather than quitting school with a limited technical capacity. I hope that in years to come, when we return to the Lakehead to live and practice our pro- fessions, we will not forget the College, but return to its folds in the capacity of teacher, alumni advisor, or member of the Board of Governors. We are the people who are founding this institution, forcing it to grow and expand. Be prepared to use your criticisms constructively as you lay the groundwork for this hall of learning. Be prepared to promote the College verbally, physically and academically, so that in later years you can be proud to say I went there. This year will be one of the most memor able years of my life because I was given the opportunity to serve you as President of the Students ' Administrative Council. From this position, I have acquired a wealth of knowledge and experience which will help me in future years. To try to thank all who have aided me in past functions would be unfair, because of the ommissions I would make. Each student, I am sure, can think of an incident in which they partook to help make this year a success. Thanks to my eager and willing executive, our staff advisor, Mr. McKenzie, and Mr. Braun, our principal, without whom I would have had a tough job. Thanks again, for one of the most memorable years of my life. Jay Sinclair. 15
