l EDITORIAL We'll honour yet the school we knew, 'Til the last bell call. Por, working days or holidays, And glad or melancholy days, They were great days and jolly days At the best school of all. One would definitely feel sorry for the person who could not sing a hymn of praise to his school - who could not look back with pride upon the days of his youth when he attended uthe best school of alln. Yet we of O.D.H.S. need not grieve, for we most certainly do not occupy that unfortunate position. It is our privilege to point proudly to our school and consider the time spent there as the happiest of our lives. Therefore, we offer our hymn of praise - the Red and Blue, the record of a pleasant and profitable school year and a stepping stone for future nlooking backn. As the fall term commenced last September, it was evident that the period of adjustment was at last at an end. We had made a long and arduous journey since the night of the fire and we hoped that we had reached a happy destination. The previous uneasiness no longer pervaded the atmosphere and there was a peaceful tranquillity, a pleasant 'at home' feeling. School events, both academic and social, proceeded as usual, but this was a different year and they always contained some new twist. If it was pleasant, we enjoyed it the more, and if unpleasant, its difficulties were soon overcome. The school on the hill, this year, opened its heart to a multitude of newcomers and will release from ever reluctant but encour- aging arms, a brave little band of graduates who venture forth into a difficult and independent civilization.

2 Our staff, as strong and understanding now as in the years which followed the fire, has continued to be a constant source of know ledge and assistance to us. Through their guidance, we may be better able to cope with future difficulties. We hope the Red and Blue of l952-53 will provide an interest ing and worthy account of a year full of harmony and teamwork - a year in which we have striven to uphold the school's shining tradition. Verbal bouquets are in order at this time for many who have generously extended help and precious time which alone have made possible the publication of this magazine. I wish to express my deepest gratitude - to Mr. Percy for his steadying hand and valuable insp- iration, to Miss Dodds for her untiring labour in the stencilling of the annual, to Mr. Cline for the colourful addition of photographs, to my fellow editors for their conscientious work and ready com operation, and to students and teachers for contributions and helpful advice. It is with pleasure and pride that we present the Annual Red and Blue of 1952 - 53. nYour children's children will hold high the light and keep the shield of truth forever bright, through lessons you have taughtn.
