Editorial When the staff collected itself and set off for a meeting with Mr. Reid. to start the yearbook '75, l think that we only guessed at the problems that we would have to face. The last year's production had come only in November. after months of work by Mr. Reid. and we were all deter- mined that our yearbook would be earlier. This year. we all spent our first few meetings listening to Mr. Reid's strictures on production. Then the story line dis- solved into a large haze of picture taking, pestering reluctant grads. badgering slow editors. and generally making nui- sances of ourselves to one and all. Through it all, however, we retained a little bit of amaze- ment that we were actually running the yearbook and a little bit of fear that we might make a mistake somewhere that would make us look ridiculous, and these were our saving virtues. Throughout, Mr. Reid was a great aid and comfort, and the team that started in September was still a team in june. We can leave this year with the reassuring knowledge that there will be some people experienced next year because for the first time this year we have had Grade 10 students in key editorial positions. Also, the use of the activities period as a yearbook meet- ing time is to be highly recommended. as we found it to be invaluable in collecting both our materials and our thoughts. Finally. in passing we would wish good luck and God- speed tothe people of next year's staff. and we wish them a continuance of the good luck that we enjoyed. Greer Phillips Editor-in-Chief 'Y' rr

eadmaster's essage Annually, Headmasters are asked to submit an appropriate message for pages such as this. My remarks this year are not d. d , . . . . . irecte to the Yearbook s reading public, but rather they are addressed to the th1rty4n1ne boys of the Graduating Class. It is, therefore, an exceptional message and its only justification is that it is directed to an exceptional class. Gentlemen, in my four years at this School I have watched your growth and development - as individuals and as a group - with the greatest admiration and pleasure. The spirited enthusiasm for team sport, the seriousness of purpose in matters related to studies, your good humour and the warm affection and concern you have for one another, has been a hallmark of your class. As youngsters in the lower grades, it was you who formed the backbone of the Bantam and junior Teams Qrecall, for example the finals of the 1973 junior Rugby Championshipjg as teeny-boppers in Grade 8, it was you who gave the greatest support totheSeniorCl ' ' Sh ld h ' ' ' ' ass 1n its c oo ances. in t e 1972 Mock Election, in volunteer work with the Clty s aged, in the successes of Public Speaking and Debating, and in a wide variety of other activities, it was largely your energies which carried the day. Although we are only a third of the way through the year, with optimistic presumption I continue in the past tense. As Seniors, you have succeeded in maintaining your momentum and great credit goes to you for the productive and successful year, 1974-75. You have given mature leadership to the student body and generally have set a fine example for the younger boys. It has been a pleasure to have worked with you, this past year especially. The boys who continue at the School, the staff and I, personally, will dearly miss you. We all look forward to your frequent visits back to th S h l, Th k f ' ' ' ' ' e c oo an you or all your good work, and here s wishing you every possible continued success. A.S. Troubetzkoy Headmaster D
