JOYCE DISHAW Jie Editor emarb . . . As another Annona rolls off the press at our High School, the memories of the past year are safely tucked away. Our staff leaves behind a yearbook which we hope in years to come will be prized as one of your most important memories of high school days. My gratitude goes to Mr. Ernie Fletcher, the printer, for his helpful suggestions, criticisms and advice that have made it possible for us to create a book of which we hope you will be very proud. Our photographers, Mr. Fong and Mr. Yakimchuck, deserve much credit for the quality and quantity of the candid shots they have produced. Special acknowledgement is due to Mr. Dawe and Mr. Flanagan, our staff advisors for their support in everything we have tried to do. It was a big job to finance the book that you are now reading, and the firms whose advertisements you will find at the back of this book, greatly helped to ease our burden and make the production of the year book possible. As they have co¬ operated with us, let us now co-operate with them by patronizing them in every way possible. To the staff of this book I am very grateful. Some members deservle special credit. Lorraine Brookes, our business manager, and Lucy Groom, “jack-of-all-trades” namely social editor, were of constant support and their help was greatly appreciated. Gwen Richards, Gail Smith, Beryl Lundberg, Jeanne Zubic, Gary Trimble, Earl Scott and Doug Silverberg have each contributed to the success of the Annona. To Gary goes a special bouquet for his excellent art work, designing and for his picture arrangements. This year we have given you just as many pictures as our finances would permit. A new feature, you will notice, is the inclusion of pictures taken by Chick Ross from the Department of Economic Affairs. These shots were taken last fall capturing points of interest all over the Campus. We feel, too, that this annual reveals a decided improvement in the cover of our year book. It has been specially designed by Gary Trimble and the motif is emphasized by th e original crest. A question that seems to be arising m the minds of the students is what the name of our year book, “Annona”, means. This title comes from the Latin word “annus” which means yearly. This name is appropriate, for your staff has discovered that it does take a full year to gather all the contents which we now present to you. Th year’s effort has been a worthwhile experience for all of us and we sincerely hope that you will derive much pleasure as you read this, the 1949-1950 edition of your Annona. JOYCE DISHAW

BOB GISH = Pre6ident f A YleAdctcfc With the semester system at the Composite High School, this year has been some¬ thing new and different. It has been a year of difficulties and many changes of routine from those to which we have been accustomed. The success of the semester system is credited to the hard work and skillful planning of the teaching staff, and the co¬ operation of the students. I would like to thank the members of the council and the executive for a swell job well done under the difficulties which we have encountered by the introduction of this new system. To our staff supervisor, Mr. Ohlsen, I would like to say “many thanks” on behalf of the Students Union for the time and effort you have spent with us. The Students Union has appreciated the help and co-operation received from the librarian and teaching staff. I’m sure the students have enjoyed and will long remember the parties, dances, and many other extra-curricular activities which the Students’ Union has striven to promote. May I thank you, the students, for giving me your wonderful support in helping to make this year a success and may I hope the students next year will give their Union even greater support. It has been a great privilege and honor for me to be President of the 1949-50 Students’ Union, and to have been able to work with you. BOB GISH
