MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL This year has been a year of visible progress in the successful completion of an enlarged and better equipped High School, one that we as a Staff and students appreciate and enjoy. But there have been other and more important areas in which Progress has been made. I know that something new has been added in the development of character, good will, good taste, and good manners, for without these our Vocational, Academic and Physical growth would indeed be barren and graceless My acknowledgment to many whose generous cooperation has made this book possible may sound like a dedication, and well it may for l wish to pay tribute to Mr. Gohl and the complete Editorial Staff of the Hill Top for this very fine production. And thanks to you for buying this book. You will find it interesting and remember that next year there will be a l955 Edition for you. ' JAMES L. CRANE

MESSAGE FROM PRESIDENT OF THE STUDENTS COUNCIL On behalf of the student body of PORT PERRY HIGH SCHOOL, and as President of the Student's Council, I wish to extend our congratulations to the Year Book Staff for - producing the third edition of the The Hilltop. This book's immediate service will be in the form of entertainment, but its lasting contribution will be that of a diary, out- lining the numerous activities which have taken place during the past term of school. When one is in Grade Nine, Grade Thir- teen seems to be hovering far away on the dim horizon. However, when one stands on that horizon and looks back over the five laboursome years, spent in Port Perry High School, they seemed to have passed as quickly as a summer week-end. There were numerous opportunities which were waiting to be re- vealed to us, and many of them are still waiting for those who succeed us, to realize. We hope that they will profit from those responsibilities. A passinglithoughtg It may be a long way to a goal, but it is never far to the next step toward that goaln -------- Ruskin EARLE DOBSON

MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD On behall of the Members of Central Ontario High School area board, l'extend sincere greet- ings and filicitations to the teaching faculty and Student Body of the Port Perry High School for the school year 1953-54. This year will go down in the history of the school as the year where the dreams and aspirations of many a for- mer school board member were fulfilled and cul- minated in the re-modelling and enlarging of our school on the Hill. This imposing structure is a credit to the district it serves. A Nation or a Community is strong only in the degree in which it recognizes the influence of religion and education. They are fundamental principles upon which our democratic way of life is built. Religion stands for securityg educa- tion, for progress. Universal education being necessary to good government, and the happiness of mankind, schools and the means of education should be forever en- couraged. Through the medium of your year book WTHE HILLTCPH, I would ask you to give to your school all you can of enthusiasm and support. Only by giving care you get the most from your school. Let us re-affirm our faith in God, strive to see the job that needs to be done and carry it through. J. STEVART HaCFARLANE
