PRINCIPAL ' S MESSAGE Congratulations to Arthur Lawson and Suzanne Perry who, last year, upheld the honour and tradition of Port Hope High School by winning two university schol¬ arships - Arthur, the Archibald MacMurchy Memorial Scholarship at University College, and Suzanne, the George H. West Residence S c h o 1 a r s h i p at Victoria College. In addition, Arthur was awarded an Ontario Scholarship and a United Counties Scholarship. These two students have set an example to you in the lower grades - a record to be equalled or surpassed! Nor were these two alone set apart from the rest of their class. Forty-three students in Grade 13 were candidates for the Grade 13 Departmental Examinations. These candidate s wrote 345 papers and passed 290 of them for an overall per¬ centage of 83.1%. These results were significant because the I960 class was the first one to reach Grade 13 via the programme of a wider range of options be¬ ginning in Grade 9. These included Industrial Arts, Home Economics, Art and Music. As indicated by the results, the introduction of these additional options had no adverse effect on Grade 13 results. Even if this percentage had been lower, the fact alone that the ratio of the number of papers passed in I960 to the number passed in 1959 was 3 to 2, would justify the expanded programme. In addition, thirty-three students went on to higher education - 18 to University, 3 to Teach¬ ers College, 2 to R y e r s o n Institute, 8 to Schools of Nursing, one to Chartered Accountancy, and one to School of Gardening. Four external scholarships and eight bursaries were awarded to this class. Extra - curricular highlights included the winning of the Central Ontario Secondary Schools Association C h a m p i o n s h i p by the Junior Girls Basketball Team; the retention of the Colonel Duffy Trophy by the Cadet Corps; the success¬ ful production of two plays entitled ’’Grandfather s Chair and The Indian Giver” by the Dramatic Society; the winning of five prizes at Music Festivals by the mus¬ ical organizations, including the Glee Club ' s debut in Toronto. The social events conducted by variou s organizations under the supervision of the Students ' Council were most successful. The simplicity and effectiveness of the decorations at the Graduation Dance are worthy of special mention. Lastly, the Staff of the Blue ' N White are to be commended for their many hours of hard work in performing a herculean task. 9
