PRESIDENT ' S MESSAGE I would like to take this opportunity to express my thanks to the student body for electing me president of the student council. I would also like to express my appreciation to the various committees and chairmen and to the principal and the staff for their guidance and co-operation throughout the past school year. As the year draws to a close it is perhaps fitting that we look back over our tricks and tribulations of the past ten months-. Our first, and perhaps strangest, social event of the season was the com¬ bined freshie and election dance held in October. It was here that some of the latent talent of our collegiate was discovered. The next high-light for the social set was the Holly-Hop—a last fling before Christmas exams set in. At the end of January, we sounded off the dance season with the Sweetheart Swirl. This left only the big event—Graduation! Besides our dancing we had many other activities. The end of February climaxed months of nrenaration when we staged our annual presentation—this year a highly successful variety concert. This year saw the continuation of several clubs began last year and the beginning of another. The Square Dancing and Badminton Clubs were well supported and the Science Club brought honour and fame to Miles Macdonell by winning prizes in two Science Fairs. School spirit this year was at an all time high as may be seen by the support the Variety Concert, school teams and clubs received and in the participation in our annual Track and Field Meet. To those students who will be attending Miles Macdonell next year, I extend my sincerest wish for success in your studies. By the time the 1960-61 season begins, Miles Macdonell will have mushroomed into 25 Class rooms, an auditorium, shops and home economics. Undoubtedly those students who return to Miles Mac will be attending one of the finest high schools in Manitoba. In closing I would like to wish next year’s council the best of everything in all their endeavours. I also wish the same success to all of the students in whatever walk of life they choose. —Harry Taylor 5

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
