THE PRINCIPAL ' S MESSAGE During this school year I have visited a number of schools in the United States and Canada. It is natural that such visits should cause me to make comparisons. I am pleased to say that, after each visit, I return with the feeling that Oakwood is a good school with an excellent staff and an inter- ested and cooperative student body. May I take this opportunity to thank the staff and the stu- dents for their cooperation during the year. For the first time in the history of the school we have a suitable playing field, an excellent gymnasium layout and a good auditorium and stage. These new facilities have contributed to an increased interest in dramatics, music, ath- letics and other activities. I feel however that the high level of performance is in the main a result of good sponsorship and school spirit. For the past 31 years I have had the pleasure of working with Mr. W.A. Jackson. As you and so many of the graduates know he is one of the outstanding teachers of mathematics in this province. His retirement this year will end his teaching career at Oakwood but will not end the feeling of respect and affection which all of us have for him. Many of this year ' s graduates will be attending university and other institutions of higher learn- ing. Others will go into the business world. I sincerely hope that all will be happv and suc- cessful in their studies and in the work of their choice. W. V. TOVELL
