PAGE TWO THE TOWERS 1948—1949 “Those were the best days of my life” is an ex¬ pression we often hear and realize that adults are speaking of their school days. Perhaps their words should be “Those were the most valuable days of my life as they now realize that their years at school have set the pattern for their present life. You are fortunate that you are still in those years when you may make the most of the opportunities presented. You will realize that habits of diligence, punctuality and courtesy developed in school as well as skill and knowledge are going to be invaluable in your adult life. This is education and forms the true basis for your future success. To each and every student in Vocational may I give this message: The time at school is so brief compared to the remainder of your life ' s span, that as each day arrives somes progress in your training should be made so that you may have a substantial foundation for your chosen work. FROM THE TECHNICAL DIRECTOR FROM THE COMMERCIAL DIRECTOR Your school offers you much more than the mere opportunity to increase your stock of knowledge. The various shops, laboratories, typing and office prac¬ tice rooms, guidance and health clinics, co-operative training program and placement service are ready to assist you with your problems, so that you may be¬ come a happy and useful citizen in your community. Occasionally, statistical records are published showing some of the advantages enjoyed by those who complete their secondary school course. These gradu¬ ates, taken as a group, have much greater earning power than those who close their school careers at the end of grade eight. The amount of benefit you receive from your present opportunity cannot be measured in terms of a group or average, but will depend very largely on one person, and that one per¬ son is YOU. To the graduates of 1949 may I extend best wishes for your success and leave with you this mes¬ sage by Henry Van Dyke: “Four things a man must learn to do If he would make his record true; To think without confusion clearly, To love his fellow-men sincerely; To act from honest motives purely; To trust in God and Heaven securely.” G. F. DEAN C. H. MONTROSE My best wishes to all!

THE TOWERS I I « S — 1 9 t 9 PAGE OWE 3 Jflessage to tfje ls tuDent£ S. R. ROSS Principal SQri, T cities such as Wind¬ sor progress because citizens in all walks of life contribute in their res¬ pective ways to the needs of other individuals and towards the general welfare. To do this requires various phases of work almost without num¬ ber. 1 ligh School students can name quite readily certain of these that they would not choose as their own future vocations. And yet, many adults make their living by doing those very jobs. So in turn it be¬ hooves each pupil to get an educa¬ tion and training for the niche in life he would make his own. One of the happy features of life in a democracy is the fact that any young person can pick and choose for himself any field of endeavor. Having made his plans and set his goal, he will find al! manner of agency, including his school and teachers, anxious to aid him on his way to that objective. Of course, it goes without saying that self-help will be necessary and the nature of one ' s own efforts largely will determine the ultimate result. In the meantime, one effective policy for any young person is the doing well of the task at hand. Just now, for all of our students and many others, that is the job of going to school. Do it from day to day with all your might. Sooner than yo u realize, you will be facing future work that may now, at times, seem to be distant and so much more important than your present duties. Your further success therein will in good part depend on the attitudes you have developed and have taken along with you. A tremendously important one is the desire to render expertly a full measure of service for the good compensation you are sure to receive. Having such an attitude, you can contribute to the making of an ever stronger Canada. Ours is a great country now because of the patience, enterprise and pcrseverencc of fine pioneers whose first thought was to make this a wonderful land of opportunity. It has become all of that. Let us do our part to keep it so! 1 9 4 8 DEDICATION 1 Q WE DEDICATE THIS EDITION OF THE “TOWERS” TO THE GRADUATES OF 1949 WHO SHALL PASS THROUGH THESE PORTALS AND BECOME Q THE CITIZENS OF TOMORROW V
