J. N. HUME (Principal) ' ' J- ' xinc.ifial jjVNCE again we welcome an edition ol the school magazine, The V ! Phoebus . This issue contains a very interesting account of the activities and accomplishments of the Leamington High School during the past school year. Early in the twenties the official publication of the school was called The Moon and its pages are well remembered by the graduates of that time. For several years, in the late twenties and early thirties, this school was without an annual year book but in 1933 publication was resumed and the name changed to The Phoebus . With the exception of the war years it has been published in some form each year. The first editor was Mr. Albert Law and the standards and traditions established by Mr. Law and his assistants have been faithfully followed by the 1948 staff under the direction of the present editor, fim Watson. The Phoebus Staff is to be commended for its untiring efforts and for the foresight in including the numerous and excellent pictures of the student body. This is a book in which all students will take pride and its value will increase as the years come and go. The Leamington High School, though very overcrowded with a peak enrolment of 571 students, is endeavouring to provide a high standard of academic instruction and a full program of worthwhile activities. The heavy enrolment speaks for the popularity of our courses and the training we are providing. We are looking forward to the completion of new and adequate accommodations in the very near future.

The production of a magazine such as this entails a tremendous amount of work on the part of the editor and his staff. Success does not rest upon the ability of one person; it is based upon the co¬ operation of the students as well. We are extremely fortunate in having a teaching staff which takes such an interest in the extra-curricular activities of the student body This Phoebus is an excellent example of the close relationship which exists between the staff and the students. , j J hiS iS .
