EDITORIAL STAFF EDITORIAL (a} hen we scan these pages we will look back on our senior year at Lord Selkirk with mixed emotions. We will have some happy, some sad, and some wistful memories of our year together because, for some of us, this is the last of a number of years preparing us for our life’s work, while for others of us further education lies ahead. Social, scholastic, and sports events will be brought to mind. What memories we will have of our school tea! This, the main event of the year, caused excited planning as one booth strove to outdo the other. Also our school dances will bring back memories of happy evenings spent together. In the scholastic field there will be happy memories for our scholarship students, with some less joyous ones for the rest of us. The sports, when brought to mind, may not make us think of any victories and pennants but we have had a great deal of fun in our volley ball and soccer games, as well as our inter-room Field Day. But probably the day which will hold the most memories for us will be our gradua¬ tion day, because after that day some of us will have to leave this group of friends and go our separate ways along the paths of life. Now we go forward to challenge the world. We feel confident that the class of ’47 will have its share of success and although it may also have its share of failure, we are sure that, with the grounding we have had, our success will far exceed our failure. Be¬ fore leaving, allow us to express our thanks and appreciation to our teaching staff, whose patient and diligent guidance has prepared us to go forth into the world, ready to cope with any situation we may meet. -Eileen McNutt. • 5

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE The past year has been one that the graduates of this year will remember for years to come. We will think back over the many events that took place and remember the pl easures and profits we have reaped. In reviewing the year we remember the success of the swimming, bowling, curling, and the Field Day, and recall the dances arranged by the hard working dance committee. Outstanding among the events of the year was the Tea and Fair held in February. This event gave the young people of the community an opportunity to meet the staff and students and hear the school orchestra which performed successfully under the direction of Mr. Larder. Speaking of music, we are reminded of the French choir which gave its annual performance over the C.B.C. net¬ work. Music reminds us, too, of the pride we feel in remem¬ bering the performance of our students in the Musical Festival. For all the gratifying success of these undertakings I wish to express my thanks to the students who have worked effectively and well towards the success of this year. May I, in this connection, mention the dance committee, the bowling committee, the members of the student council, the year book staff, the sports captains and all those who have done their part in forwarding the interests of our school. Behind the efforts of the students there is the interest and support of our teaching staff. To them, and to our principal, Mr. Snyder, I wish to tender thanks for the assist¬ ance and guidance during the year. —Bruce Young. • 7
