T H E T () W E R S I’agc Seven S. R. ROSS IDEA is the fore-runner of action. Industry is ever seeking in¬ dividuals who generate good ideas. Returns are much greater to those who not only have good ideas hut f ollow through and give expression to them. We learn by doing and we become expert by repetition and well-planned effort. Expert ability pleases and satisfies. We like to have letters well-written, motor cars scientifically tuned and tools efficiently designed. In the W. D. Lowe Vocational School, there are, in addition to the regular class-room and shop opportunities, numerous activities certain to meet the desires and aptitudes of any student. Producing a Year Hook is one such activity. In this effort, writing, proof-reading, selling, collecting, compiling combine to produce the finished article. This issue is especially welcome after so long a lapse since the last publication in 1929. Our 1947 Year Book. ‘‘The Towers”, is the result of good ideas skilfully executed. S. R. ROSS, Principal

I ' a c Eight T H E TO W EKS Greetings . . . by MISS MARV O’DC)NO( ' .HUE IJEAN OF GIRLS The life of a big modern school such a our i rather complicated. Sometimes we wonder how such an institu¬ tion, as large as a fair-sized village and with activities varied enough to interest its fifteen hundred students can run smoothly and effectively. Then we discover that the two KEYS to its success are ENTERPRISE and CO-OPERA¬ TION. Further, we discover that these KEYS can be used and are used by the most inconspicuous student as well as by the principal and staff. Fortunately, the students are both enterprising and co-operative. The production of this splendid Year Book is an example of both. Warm congratulations are due to its editors and staff. Not wishing to detract one iota from the splendid record of the boys of our school, yet as Dean of Girls I am more closely associated with the other half of our student body. I may say that in my twenty-five years of association with the girls ' activities it has been a happiness to see how always they have given their best to their school work, to athletics, to school entertainments, to the Junior Red Cross, to every form of extra-curricular activity. Their present body, numbering 550, is carrying on in the old spirit and their slogans clearly are: “LET US DO SOMETHING” — “LET US HELP . MARY O’DONOGHUE €b (tor ial W K. the Editorial Staff of this Year Book, take great pleasure in presenting to you the first edition of “The ' rowers’ since 1929. We hope that it will bring to you many hours of enjoyment both now and in the future. In later years, when part ed from your school chums, you will have this book to remind you of the wonderful days spent at dear old Lowe Vocational. The older the book becomes, the more you will cherish it. As you turn the pages containing pictures of friends and the articles they wrote, you will begin to recall to mind incidents both amusing and sad. You will probably never forget those friendships, and this magazine is an excellent means of refresh¬ ing those memories which seem to grow fainter year by year. With this aim in mind. “The ’Powers” Staff have given much time and effort to make this magazine something worth-while and we sincerely hope we have succeeded. THE EDITOR
