Janice Gordon Editor Opus 1969-70 Once again, another year draws to a close and we, the yearbook staff, present to you Opus 70. This past year, for me, has been one of challenge and unique experience and as editor I have come to realize how much work and responsibility the creation of a yearbook entails. With the help of my staff, improvements have been made and new ideas tried. Much planning and hard work has gone into this book and I hope that we have created for you a worthy account of 1969-70. In these pages are mirrored the intricate work¬ ings of Sheldon-Williams Collegiate — its successes and failures, and the very spirit which keeps this school alive; all of which depends entirely on you, the students. You have made Sheldon what it is with your enthusiasm, participation and achievement in all types of activities in the school and com¬ munity. Therefore, this book is not the creation of the Opus staff, but rather one of the entire student body. You have supplied the material and we have merely observed and recorded what you have done. Opus 70 is your book — a reflection of you the students and lifeblood of Sheldon-Williams. I would like to give special thanks to Brenda Brindle who worked long, hard hours and did an excellent job as assistant editor. Also, thanks go to our staff advisor, Mr. Macfarlane, for all his help and advice, and generally to all those who contri¬ buted to the book’s production. I wish luck and suc¬ cess to next year’s editor and staff and hope that our efforts this year will prove rewarding.

Randy Pippus Richard Waugh Editor Editor Student Prints Issue one was rather tame this year; it didn’t carry on with the hard-protest-politics of last year — “you seem to be laughing at yourself — protest¬ ing yourself” rather than advocating and guiding and helping in changes in Education. Issue two continued in this vein, and was much better at it. But that was as far as we got in this vein. Then, ’round about Issue three, which took for¬ ever, and when it did come out was illegible, we seemed to run into intangiole hassles wherever we turned. This psychological harassment almost caused the paper to fold. We got very paranoid. Issue three was the only one in four and a half months. We came back and with Issue four we managed to cause a stir. People said it was, “flippant” or “esoteric” or “indulgent”. We were just being creative I say. Well, with Issue five and Issue six (the election candidates’ platforms) we streamlined to fight Stu¬ dent Apathy. We’re doing Issue seven now, and we figure to continue just what we do. Typing was certainly a chore this year. We had a lot of trouble running our Gestetner until some bolts fell out and it worked fine. Phillip Syde (cream of transistors) and J. W. Wildman (humour sampler) columns were popular as far as I know. Sports coverage was spotty; music-movies coverage was good considering space limitations. We didn’t do much enthusiastic coverage on high school events and pep clubs, because of a flaw in our character. We weren’t much good at being a focal point for student rebellion (except in a general way). We just weren’t militant! Over all it’s been a good year. I know it because I’ve seen just how it could have been a lot worse.
