message frnm the lgrwihvnt nf Eh: Stuhrntn' Glmmril As president of your students' council for the year of l952-53, it is my privilege to enjoy this year book, since I am not involved in the actual production of it. I am free to enjoy your impressions of the various activities which were sponsored this year by the students' council and its subsidiary organizations On looking back at my four previous years at Port Perry High School, I realize I was successful only in the activities in which I worked hardest. As a fifth- former I now hfve one regret. I regret that I have not worked more diligently at my lessons and played less diligently at extra activities. Perhaps you are making the same mistake. On behalf of the entire student body, which I represent, may I sincerely say thank you to the year book staff. We the students of Port Perry High School aupreciate and enjoy this edition of The Hilltop, the result of many hours of your hard work. Mary Wilson
