For all students attending the school, the Maroon and Grey will be a printed record of scholastic, sports, literary and musical activities. Many of the students and staff have put in countless hours of work to produce this record. The students of Lord Selkirk are fortunate to live in a country which provides them with such extensive training in both the curricular and the extra-curricular fields. Canada is considered a young country, but one that is gradually asserting herself in the realm of world affairs. The future development of this vast country gives unlimited opportunity to the youth of today who have the ability and education to contribute to this growth. All the students realize, to a certain extent, that the future of Canada lies not only in the mental power but also in the knowledge and desires of her youth. They all know that the training of their mental ability takes place in school, but do they realize that it is up to them to make the most of this training and apply it to every day life? Or do they feel that they are just passing away time in school, not attempting to assimi¬ late the knowledge they are acquiring? Education is not a matter of touching upon a number of disconnected subjects. Education is a process of developing the mind by teaching it the thoughts, ex¬ periences and ideas of other individuals, times and nations so that it may think for itself and be indepen¬ dent. The thoughts of other men are exceedingly im¬ portant but the development of the student’s own view point has much more value to the student. This opinion can be further developed by a knowledge of a variety of activities such as those presented to the student in school. To help him derive the full value from this development, there are the principal and teachers who are ever-willing to guide him towards the attainment of his future goal in life. The announcement has been made that Mr. Cochrane, who has been our principal at Lord Selkirk for eight years, has been transferred to another school. We would like to take this opportunity, on behalf of the staff and students to thank him for these years of firm and kind leadership, and to wish him every success in his new appointment. 3

R. J. Cochrane Principal F. C. Grusz V ice-Principal FOREWORD S CHOOL is so many things — it is lessons in science and English; it is singing in the opera; it is playing on the school volleyball team or being a member of the room football squad; it is doing homework or forgetting to do it and landing in the principal’s office or in de¬ tention; it is fun at the school dance, or it is t he quiet and oftimes secret glow of satisfaction that comes from a well written essay or the solution of a tricky maths problem. School is a thousand and one different things to as many pupils. Lord Selkirk has had a good year. An increasing number of students has worked hard to achieve success in studies. The student activity programme has had the willing and loyal support of many of the boys and girls. Our teams have won a fair share of champion¬ ships and what is more important, they have gained the respect and goodwill of other schools for their good sportsmanship and “never say die” spirit. Choris¬ ters and thespians alike gave a good account of them¬ selves in the Opera and Play. The tale is but begun. Between these covers students have written the history of another school year at Lord Selkirk. The compilation and production of the Maroon and Grey looms large among the things that Lord Selkirk is to its student body. Almost every girl and boy in High School and a large number in Junior High School have helped in some way to make the “Annual” a success. The Maroon and Grey is more than a catalogue of the year’s activities and events — it is an expression of you yourselves, of the part each has played in the year now drawing to a close. Read your yearbook, cherish it; it will become a treasure in the future. “There are two ways of shedding light; to be The candle or the mirror that reflects it.” Congratulations and best wishes for success and happiness to our graduates.
