Editorial When the last bell rings to signal the end of the school year, I am sure that it will be heard with mixed feelings. Some students will shout joyously and run out into the glorious sunlight, thrilled with the aspect of a long holiday. These aie the students who have just experienced their first year at Miles Mac. They will be returning next year; others will not. For many of us this is our last year at Miles Mac. We do not see the holiday ahead; we only see the year that has slipped by — a year of increasing turmoil in our modern world a year which saw the blossoming of France into an atomic power — and a year which saw the breakdown of the summit talks in Paris. It was a year that we spent at Miles Mac. It was a year that we shall remember in the years to come. The purpose of the ‘ MACADONIAN” is to help you remember. We believe that we have compiled this book to the best of our ability, and we are proud to present it to you. Whether your interest lies in sport, social activities, science, art, or our variety concert, you will find it in this book. For those who open the “MACADONIAN” just to look for errors, I am sure that you will find them too, because there is something for everyone in this book. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the members of the teach¬ ing staff for their cooperation, and also all those students who contributed in any way, because they helped to make this book a successful venture. In concluding, I would like to extend my very best wishes to this year’s graduating class, and the hope that their future will prove most successful. —Larry Whitney 3

PRINCIPAL ' S MESSAGE Last year Miles Macdonell Collegiate became part of the new School Division of River East. This coming school year our School Board is having an addition built to Miles Macdonell which will give twenty - five classrooms, Home Economic rooms, Electrical and Drafting rooms as well as a combined auditorium and gymnasium. We are living in a period of rapid expansion. With expansion comes greater opportunities for jobs, positions and profes¬ sions. These greater opportunities are available to those who are prepared by training and education to take greater responsibilities. Your achievement in school is the best foundation on which you can build for a sound future. In order to enter Univer¬ sity or get a start in a business or trade a bare pass in your grades is not sufficient. It is not enough to know only half of what you have been taught throughout the year. Competition for places in the world today requires that a pupil get the highest possible marks of which he or she is capable. Be¬ sides getting the highest standing possible a pupil should learn to get along with others as this is ne¬ cessary to be successful and happy in life. A pub¬ lic school is a cross section of society. Here you have all types of people with whom you must try to get along agreeably if you are to be reasonably happy in school. This training is very useful for your adult life. I would like to extend my best wishes to all pu¬ pils in this Collegiate and especially to those who are leaving this June. May you be happy and suc¬ cessful in whatever walk of life you choose. 4
