PRINCIPAL ' S MESSAGE Creative effort is the mainspring of all progress. It is a vital responsibility of the school to foster the creative spirit in the youth of today. There are new experiments yet to be tried, new discoveries to he made, new truths to be re- vealed, new institutions of social and civic life to be set up. These forms of progress will be realized in the years that are ahead of us only as a spirit of creative endeavor is awakened m the boys and girls now in school. — David Burcham
