■J N  «p .v f- nncipal A i v le66aae At the end of my rirst year at Oliver Stephens Sernor- ' x llc Scnoo ! I look back upon a year that has been uniqae for r e. After- oe-r-vi-- as ' ' principal of three different rural schools, I find myself in ' a . u ' ban setting for the first time. VJhether students are ' urban or- -u-al tbe-r have many similar needs. These needs include a sense of achievement ' ' acceptance by one ' s peers and teachers, a stimulating school r)roeT.pr. ' n-ne- sented by concerned teachers and a pleasant environj-ent .-hp-r.A ' one ' av ' study and learn. ' - -- - J Our facilities are second to none in the county. V.Tiile other ' s -uffer- xn the heat, we enjoy air-conditioning. We have modem eauipment ' and capable, irell-qualified teachers. Do you, as students, make ' rMa:--;n urn u-e of the facilities and the teachers who are available to you? iiave you made the most of yo-ui ' year in Oliver Stephens School? The only fail-ures are those who must ansv er no to those questions. To the graduating class, it is my ' earnest desire that each of -re- work towards a worthwhile goal and that each vail attain sone degree o: success. Your parents and teachers can only provide assistance and guidance. You alone can determine the degree of success by the -oV ' ..- and determination n.th which you face the future. ■■ -- - To our younger students, may you continue to mature and to acouir-e knowledge m the coming years. You now become our senior student bod and the successes and failures of next year in Oliver Stephens School ' ' ar-e to some extent dependent upon your dedication to the tasks assigned. Do L. Laur, Principal. Uice ' f- n nncipai This year, ray first at Oliver Stephens, I ha-. ' e come into contact ' ri.th hundreds of intelligent, serious and socially av;are students. Ihc successes of our school relate directly to their responsible :: ' .a;i:iCr, their contagious enthusiasm and their ability to work very hard. The students, as v ell as the dedicated staff of --liver Stepr.ens Senior Public School have contributed to my satisfaction, pleasiu-e and professional d.evelopment. If everyone connected v ith our school has benefited from their experiences as much as I have benefited from mine then a great deal ind.eed. has been accomplished, t his year. I would, like to v;ish everyone continued success in the p.u ' s.iit o ' their goals. Thanlv you. :. Bellinger, Vice-: rinclEal.

But before we could do anything, we needed some money. Off went our annual Chocolate Bar Sale. Thanks to the hard vrork of the convenors and the participation of the students, v e raised enough money to make student trips and special activities possible. As the year rolled on, a theatre group called Theatre London came and entertained us. The theme of the play was based on Canadian History . As the Christmas spirit came along, we began to think of others less fortunate than ourselves. At this point the Student Council began their annual Canned Food Drive. For breaks in our school year. Activity Days vrere held in December and March. Here students could, choose one of many activities. During February a new activity ii as initiated in the school. Each class origin- ated a different idea to raise money for the Red Cross. Besides having a lot of fun, we raised 3200 for this vrorthy cause. Next speaker, please . Each student in the school v;as assigned to 1 ?ite a speech. The competition continued ujitil there was a -i rinner from each of the grades. As snow came dovm. and cold vreather continued, Oliver Stephens enjioyed its first Snow Carnival. The carnival consisted of events such as toboggan races, class snow sculpting and a race pulling yo ' ur teacher on a toboggan. To keep us warm, hot chocolate was sold. On Costumes and Careers Day, we had an assortment of colourful people. Students dressed vri.th careers in mind. Each class chose the two best dressed people to go into the final contest. V, e had students dressed as drunlis, cleaning ladies and just plain traxips. High ideals, eh I In June, Music I-Iight was held. This program consisted of the school choir, the grade eight vocal and band classes and the j ' oiiior band from C.A.S.S. This evening was enjoyed by all that participated and Barents as well. During the last month or so of school, students enjoyed trips to London, Toronto, Niagara Falls, Oxford Co ' unty Court House, and to many other places tliroughout ' Woodstock and southern Ontario. The higiilight of the year to any grade eight student, is, of co ' arse, Grade S Night. The theme this year is aquatic. All the hard work that was put forth by the staff and the students made the 197 ' +-75 year a great success. These are only a fev; of the highlights that have made our grade S year at Oliver Stephens most enjoyable.
