I accept with pleasure your invitation to contribute a message to your very worthwhile undertaking — the publication of a Yearbook. I thank you most sincerely for this opportunity. Ours is an age of rapid changes. Yet, along with the many and varied changes there are things that remain constant. Enjoying LIFE honestly and to the fullest is one of these constants everywhere in the world. In quest for enjoyment TIME plays a major role. May I suggest that you in your search for life’s share of success and happiness take TIME for the following: Take time to WORK — it is the price of success. Take time to THINK — it is the source of power. Take time to PLAY — it is the secret of youth. Take time to READ — it is the fountain of knowledge. Take time to WORSHIP — it is the highway of reverence and washes the dust of the earth from your eyes. Take time to HELP and ENJOY FRIENDS — it is the source of happiness. Take time to LOVE — it is the sacrament of life. Take time to DREAM — it hitches the soul to the : Take time to LAUGH — it is the singing that with life’s load. Take time to PLAN — it is the secret of being to have time to take time for the first nine thing, And, what is more. “To thine ownself be true.” Noi succeeds like success and nothing gives one greater . faction. Be ready to accept challenge with an open i Don’t be satisfied with anything but the best from yoi and the BEST WILL be yours. May God in HIS Greatness grant you the wisdom courage to recognize and abide by those principles are of the greatest worth. Sincerely, John Chalaturnyk. 4 iMMjJiumn

PnncipJ, W. J eS5affe The words “higher education” have become house¬ hold in most of our homes today. We know that man has always had the desire to achieve more, to know more and to learn more than those who went before him. But prob¬ ably never before has the pressure, to achieve more been so great on students as it is today. It is quite true that we read many accounts in history in which society faced great calamities and disaster, that the youth of the day met the challenge and often fulfilled the demands of adulthood in the tender years of their life. This has been noble and praiseworthy indeed. But how does this compare with today? The challenge facing our youth today is of a very different nature. Today students face the problem of preparing themselves, in a fast changing society, for a future that appears almost frightening, not in a sense that it will be “terrible”, no, but frightening in view of the staggering increase in the rate of change of the world in which we live — it is no small matter to realize this and to know how best to prepare for such a future. This is the challenge that faces the high school student today and it is with sincere concern that those of us, who are directly involved with education, should put our best efforts to enable our youth to be prepari face an ever-changing world. Of our youth we a: more than that they be diligent in their endeai zealous in their efforts and grateful for their opportui And now a word in particular to the students o year. You have chosen to do a great task. Although numbers are few your program demands that you astride with collegiates that have much greater resoi- Most of you are taking a full year of studies and a same time participating in numerous extra-currh activities; my challenge to each one of you is this: ( things well. Let a spirit of goodwill towards othe 1 determination to do your best, and a desire to I your goal, mark this as your best year ever. Ther| those of you who will graduate it will remain a trea experience which will spur you on to greater heij and for those of you who return in September it wj an incentive to better the mark that you now obtained. Congratulations, for a fine yearbook and God’s : for the remaining months for this school year. 6
