Editorial As the deluge of news material comes rushing in to meet the deadline, we, the Yearbook staff, look reminiscently back over the past days of producing the 1952-58 Leduc High School Year Book. We ask ourselves just what factors do comprise a high-quality book of memories, besides photographs and write¬ ups, which are of course essentially important. The worthwhile fact is that this year has seen, for the first time, creative talents being applied by both teachers and students alike. Certainly, composing ditties has been a thought-provoking project, out of which has come worthy achievements. Making decisions on the basis of WHAT’S right and not on WHO’S right has proved quite effective with regard to class photos versus individual snaps. Last of all the keen co-operation and “extra mile” work displayed by all the students and teachers has been a pleas¬ antly bright spot to counteract the advertising headaches, the distribution and planning difficulties. For many of us, this will be the last year in Leduc’s halls and classrooms. I can justly say that on the whole, our high school days will be cherished ones, to be remembered through¬ out our entire life. Our minds have not only been broadened intellectually but also ideologically. So, as we venture forth with our own future plans, let us not forget that accomplish¬ ment is ours only if we act upon a great statesman’s words, “There’s enough in the world for everyone’s need, but not enough for everyone’s greed.” PHYLLIS ELLETT.

The President Speaks Being the president of our Student’s Union, I have had conferred upon me the honor of representing you, the students of Leduc High School, in this “L. H. S. Review”. I do so with keen appreciation of our relations with each other and of the teaching staff of this school. When we were in the junior grades, we looked forward with joyful antici¬ pation to high school. Then after we had written our Grade IX Departmental Examinations and had found to our delight that we had passed them, a feeling of superiority came over us. For many of us that next year was our first ait Leduc High. When we entered the doors for the first time we were completely lost. We found that we were not superior there, in fact we were mere freshmen, looking up once more with envy but with respect to the seniors and sophomores. We decided then that some day we would be those proud senior students. We became sophomores, with but one rung left to the top of the ladder. Finally we grasp that rung and pull, only to be once more overcome by that feeling of frustration as we realize we are conquering only one, the first, hurdle in life. Those of you who are now freshmen and sophomores no doubt have experienced and will experience these same emotional agitations. We hope that you will keep your goal in mind and find in it the success of which you have dreamed. Our teaching staff deserves much of the credit for making our brief stay here one to remember. They teach us the arts and sciences, yes, but they also help us to develop mentally and physically, along right lines, when that develop¬ ment is so rapid and so important. The teachers put up with our queer antics patiently, knowing that they are but characteristic stages in our growth. At times they may raise their voices and we might become disguested with school, but after short while we realize the benefits to us of their admonitions. So to the deserving teachers, a special “thank you”. No one can foretell the future but we can help make ours conform to our own design. We are approaching a point beyond which lies the most important part of our lives. If we put our sincere efforts into it, moulding our future to our own design, we are sure to in enjoy it, for, “How happy is he born and taught That serveth not another’s will, Whose armour is his honest thought And simple truth his utmost skill.” As president, once again I wish to thank all the members of the Students’ Union and teaching staff for their co-operation in making this past year one to remember always.
