EDITORIAL The objective oftheYearbo k staff has been to include within the covers of the Macadonian a much as possible of the school year 1961-62. We hope that th ; takes in all the big events and many of the small ones, and w serve to remind you, in future years, of school days 1961-62 ' ' Perhaps as you leaf through thi book in later years conversatio will follow the theme - Do you remember . . . the afternoon we listened to Colonel John Glenn ' s landing. . . the day the large hose in the lower hall sprang a leak. . . practising for Closing Exercises in King Memorial Church? The Yearbook staff did a fine job and I would like to than them for their help throughout the year. I wish to extend special thanks to the friends who could always be relied upon in emergencies - who helped with the tremendous task of or¬ ganizing hundreds of students for pictures - did last minute typing during the summer holidays. The work of the typists was appreciated by the Yearbook staff, as was the help of Mr , Lee and the English teachers in preparing the Literary sectic Macadonian 1961-62 is the product of a combined and sus tained effort. Good luck and best wishes. Bonnie McCallum.
