Then came the inevitable November examinations (November 13 and 14).Report cards were given out on November 21 and Parents ' Night was held on November 26. On November 28 Miss Wolniewicz kind¬ ly entertained us by showing us slides of her last trip to Europe. DECEMBER On December 8 we had a church holi¬ day. As it was a Monday, we again enjoyed a long week-end. A career night was held on December 18. We gladly listened to experienced people speaking to us on the various opportunities open to high school students. With December 23 came the last day of school for the first term. After enjoying a party in our respective class¬ rooms; then listening to a short entertainment in the gym by the budding orchestra; then singing carols and having a distribution of gifts, we wished our teachers a Kerry Christmas and went home to enjoy a twelve-day vacation. RELIGION CLASSES This year. Father Tardif is second¬ ed by Father Joly and a number of Semin¬ arians for the religion classes. Every Monday we look forward to their visit to the schools, to enjoy a half-hour of re¬ ligious instruction. FOR THIS PAGE OUR THANKS GO TO ROSS TRUCK SERVICE LTD.

EATON C ■ ■ CANADA V o LIMITED Edmonton Canada 50 Years of Service In September, 1909, our old brick school opened its doors ho its first set of students. Some of these former students are ; still living in St. Albert, and are able to witness in operation ;oday, three school districts accommodating some seven hundred students. Nevertheless, the old timers still recall the happy days spent in the old brick school on the hill. It was not the old Drick shcool then, but a new building of which all of its students were proud, just as we today are proud of our new modem school buildings. Though our old brick school is outmoded, it still speaks eloquently of the past. In its fiftieth year of service, it looks Did and decrepit, but it is still for the younger generation a souvenir, as it is within its walls that many of their parents received their education. It is on the eve of being abandoned; yet, it will stand In its place on the hill until it is destroyed, and it will con¬ tinue to remind us that the present stands upon the past. Thus Lt will excite reverence for its long years of service. HAS GRACIOUSLY SPONSORED IJmwilte Mi ome THIS PAGE HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL S MESSAGE At a Grey Cup dinner in Vancouver a few years ago, ‘Frank Leahy (a famoOs foot- mil coach at Notre Dame) was asked to predict the next day ' s winner of the Fall Classic. His prediction, which follows, although pertaining to the next day’s game is pertinent to all students in school today. At the top of a blackboard in one of our High School rooms is an artistically printed quotation. This quotation may be often seen, often used, or often over¬ looked. The statement is: Who dares nothing need hope for nothing . In your life out of school and in your post High School life, situations are curring and will occur which present you with challenges, correct decisions to be de, or effort to be applied. Your life in High School, similarly, has presented u with the opportunity to dare much or to dare little according to your wishes. This quotation has been tested by you in varying degrees in the classroom,your Stu¬ dents Union, and your Extramural Pro’qram. Some have attempted and completed much, some have attempted and completed little. The extent to which you made the attempts and-completed your objectives has helped develop habits which you will carry on into adult life. Frank Leahy ' s prediction? He stated that the winning team would be the team which had set its objectives and standards high, had kept the objectives constantly fn mind, and had been willing to work and sacrifice to attain the objectives. If we were to substitute the word student for the word team, the statement would also apply to this High School. Your success in High School or after High School will be determined by how uch you have dared and hnw well you have kept your objectives in front of you!

How ' s your wheat this year? Ain ' t got none, answered the farmer. Afraid of cutworms. How about your oats? Looks like a dry year, so I didn ' t plant none. Well, then, what did you plant? Nuthin, replied the farmer. I played it safe. Many of us play it safe by failing to make use of our talents and abilities, thus never realizing our full potential. If we wish to succeed in anything worth while, we must be prepared to risk fail¬ ure. Naturally, the player who always sits on the bench never makes any mistakes, but neither does he win the game for his team. Failure can have a real value if we can apply its lessons to the future and thereby succeed. When we are young we should not be overly concerned with saving for a rainy day. Far better to invest in further training in the field where our interests seem to lie. What would an Einstein or an Edison have done for the world if they had been reared in an igloo at the Arctic where little formal training was available? We have just so much time allotted to us. Each must move with a purpose and keep right on moving. ' Western Canada ' s Pioneer Bus Operators THIS PAGE IS SPONSORED BY Phones: 48011 - 27275 10620 - 98th Street EDMONTON.

To some of you this means the end of your school careers, should like to express the hope that for none of you will it mean e end of your education. Some of you, doubtless, will be proceeding to the university, to seminary, or to other institutions of higher learning; some will enrolling in courses of training for the nursing profession; some be embarking on technical training at the institute of Technology Art. Whatever plans you may have, even if you are immediately en- ring employment or remaining at home,I trust that you will all avail urselves of every opportunity to continue your education. The end schooling,even if it must mean the end of formal education, should vev be allowed to mean the end of moral, cultural, and intellectual ciowth. It marks merely the attainment of a certain stage in that qowth. Your school has begun your education by teaching you some funda- ental truths and inspiring in you a desire to pursue others. By triving to deepen your understanding of the truths which have been resented to you and to add to your store of useful knowledge, you ay hope to come, in time, to at least some degree of wisdom. Educa- ion in its best sense, is a lifelong process. Two means of achieving wisdom are available to all of you, good riends and good books. Choose them both with care, remembering that he influence, for good or for evil, which they will exert on your Ives, may well be incalculable. 4Jhree ' Joiun, The First is finished and l id away life is a story in volumes three ie Past, the Present and the Yet to be.

A wonderful idea for the dedication of your yearbook! eachers are considered the most important group of men and women. Through their fforts they make the world progress by developing the intelligence of students, ;hus adding to the treasure of ideas that will push humanity farther towards value ind power. Yet few are so neglected, suffer so much ingratitude, are forgotten so asily except when resented. They are often the butt of a joke or they cut a laive figure in the eyes of some merciless pupil. A few teachers, of course, are venerated for their imposing personality, for their discipline, or for their tolerance. Not only those deserve a lasting souvenir. All teachers doing their best are admirable and may be considered in some measure martyrs to the cause of education. Think of the long monotonous days of repetition of what they know well jut cannot implant in the distracted minds of their charges; think of the long lours of class preparation, the tests and their correction, the worry about the :haracter-formation or de-formation of many little un-angels, the private talks v th a view to helping students, the diplomacy to tame, the endless repetitious remarks necessitated by the inattention or devil-may-dare attitude of pupils who think that fun is an end, amusement a worthwhile occupation, school an institution to put in time until one gains his freedom, and the teachers a necessary trial to be ignored. If you think enough of your teachers to dedicate your yearbook to them, t ink enough of them to be model students, all of you, not only 5056 of the gang, 30 of the time!.

ParU Thank you for your letter of January 8 inviting me to give you a message for your yearbook. I was somewhat at a loss to know to whom I should address my message as I am unfamiliar with your publication. I trust, however, that what I have written is satisfactory to you. I regret that I do not have a recent photograph of myself to send to you. En st ma ch The primary concern of the Board of Administrators, the Town Planners,and gineers is the physical change now taking place in our town: new houses, ,new reets, new developments areas.and it may be felt that in the multi-million dollar chine which is slowly grinding into action to effect this physical change, school ildren are of no consequence. Nothing could be farther from the truth, for with the physical change .here comes a social change: new people, new patterns of behavior, new clubs, and i|ch like; in fact, a new community. By looking at plans and sketches in the Town Manager ' s office,we can form a|fairly accurate impression of what the toVn will look like in a few years ' time icause developer and contractors must adhere to the plans already formulated, it there are no plans or sketches which can tell us what the social change will be ke, for example: Will there be more or less crime? Will people be happy or sad? ndly or antagonistic towards one another? This we don ' t know, but we do kno lat there are plans and sketches of what the social change could be like, and, if wje discipline ourselves to adhere to those plans we should find that not only should we have a clean, healthy, properly-developed town, but also a happy, friend¬ ly community. Where are those plans and sketches? Answer: The plans and sketches for the very be3t conmunity are to be found in the Holy Scriptures. Of course, you sus ected that I would bring in religion somewhere didn ' t you. ' You ' re right, because ill talking about social change, it would be impossible to talk about people without referring to the code or standard by which those people live. You know, of course, Aat some people don ' t have a code of behaviour, while some have a somewhat diluted oiie which has been handed down in a slipshod manner from their parents, and others, not willing to take second or third best, have taken the code given us by God ..nd e iplied that to their lives. Fine homes, paved streets, and public utilities do not make a community ril iither are people of themselves a community. A community is a group of people act iig together for the achievement of common interests and ideals, and the-very best Q immunity is a group of people intelligently following the plan OfjGnd as revealed us in the fiible.

Brownson OUR PRESIDENTS 1 When I began the school term, I had idea that I would be made president. J aid like to show my appreciation to 4 student body for their confidence in The school year started off with a a !e of activities. The initiation was c essful, as always, and was enjoyed, t ink, even by the freshmen. ' After the initiation,we were caught in the whirlwind of preparations which eceded the graduation of the ' 58 class. 1 We had an interesting year made pos- ble by the number of people who showed ilides. Bishop Bokenfohr and Father n .k from South Africa,showed us slides heir part of the world. Views of Pol- d and other parts of Europe were pre- nted by Kiss Wolniewicz. Bill 3ocock owed scenes of Europe and South Africa, enjoyed these glimpses of other lands. The last major activity of my term 8 . the Christmas party. The music was esented by a group of high school stud- ta. An exchange of gifts put the fin- hing touch to this program. First I would like to thank all the members of the Students Union for elect¬ ing me as their second term president. I shall try to carry out the wills of the students to my greatest ability. I as¬ sure you that anything that is not done as you would wish it to be, is due to the fact that it is not always possible nor feasible to realize all your wishes. The greatest event while I am in office is the Junior Prom. It is mainly dedicated to the grade elevens, but it is also a means of raising funds for the c oming graduation. I am doing my best to make this Junior Prom one that will al¬ ways be remembered. This executive is trying to have one party before the Junior Prom, in order to raise money to help pay for our newly installed drapes on the stage. If we do not have this party, it will be because there is not time to have it between the Variety Night, the Easter Examinations, and the Junior Prom. I hope that all the students do well in their final examinations, and that they have enjoyed every moment of their time in school this year. I would like to thank Mr. Kalita, Staff Representative for his help, , the first term executive and the lent body for their co-operation. To the graduating class, I say good¬ bye and wish them the best of luck in the careers which they are about to choose. Ctlrnctsr ef J?.

Among them were Cameron Ross and I and Lynne Sumner who graduated this year in Regina. The next year, when we were in Grade II, our number had dwindled to thirtyfive That year we met Miss Wolniewicz whose tact and experience added to our knowledge gained the previous year. In Grades HI and IV we went to school in the Convent where the Board had rented classrooms, and found ourselves under the capable guidance of Sister Lemire. It was in Grade III that we welcomed Anne Marie Blair in our midst. In Grade V a new experience confronted us. In that year the building which is now the Divisional School was under construction. Then we got a taste of what it is to be on shifts, as the space allotted to classrooms was inadequate. Our school day was short: 12:30 to with Sister Gregoire as our teacher. This lasted until February, when we moved into the new, but yet unfinished school. 1951 found us in the new school, still only one storey high. We had an op¬ portunity to welcome as our teacher again, Sister Lemire who had drilled this class in the three R ' s two years previously. Grade VII found us again in the new school, now a finished building, in a bright classroom with its windows facing the chapel. It was here that Mrs. Vague for a year, hammered the King ' s English into our constitution. It was here, too, that Barbara Onischuk joined the group. Grades VIII and IX brought us up to Mrs. Blair. In Grade VIII, with the caning of Volmer School into the Division, we acquired a new classmate, Marion Bokenfohr. When we reached Grade IX, we met Joan MacDonald. These two years were busy years, for it was at the end of them that we wrote our first set of de¬ partmental examinations. Then came high school. In Grade X, Mr. Ferguson ' s vim and vigour inspired us with ambition to become successful high school students. Another of this year ' s graduates, Winnona Rogers, joined us. One of our pals of our first year, Lynne Sumner, moved away at the end of the year. When we reached Grade XI, we were sorely disappointed to discover that our teacher, Mr. Raboud, was ill in the hospital. Mrs. Moore, as a substitute for two months, expounded at length on Shakespears ' s play, Julius Caesar, and on the art of essay-writing, and made us wade through the intricacies of the French gram¬ mar. At the beginning of November we were pleased to welcome Mr. Raboud, who then brought us safely through to our graduating year. Grade XII and Graduation! Three Sisters were added to our class: Sister Pi- quette, Sister St. Germain, and Sister Gaumont. Here we encountered Sister Cote who has been the guiding light of numerous graduating classes in this year. It is because of here unfailing confidence in us that we are able to be here tamight. 1 Florence Morin an old N«.ar Sr t4 5 «� l5 fri ' erut5 Gfav ?

I leave on Nonday, November 4, on a six-month pleasure trip; so I have been naming arrangements in that connection. Such a statement demands an explanation, so ' ll try. I am going to the Royal ' inter Fair in Toronto on board the freight train tak - ing Alberta ' s livestock entries. (This involves sleeping and eating with some cows for about three days). Then on November 26 I sail with a friend (boyi ) on board the Empress of England from Montreal. We dock at Liverpool from where I head for London and my buddy, John White, heads for his old home in Cornwall. (Hfe has lived in nlberta since ' 49). I ' ll stay near London with a cousin of Dad ' s for a few days snd then fly, taking the longest route possible, to my uncle ' s home in Johannesburg, Louth Africa. — Midsummer at Christmas time. — I ' ll return to England in Feb¬ ruary and pick up a Volkswagen car I bought through the Edmonton dealer, to be de¬ livered in London, England. With the Volkswagen I hope to see some of the United Kingdom and Eire, visiting Dad ' s relatives in England and Mother ' s in Ireland.Then in April or Nay, John White and I will return via New York. I hope to send the car ahead on a freighter,pick it up in New York, and see some of the United otates driv ing home. I realize that these are very big plans for a farmer, but I have the opportun¬ ity now, and, God willing, I hope to make the best of it. With the trip in mind, I bought a new camera similar to the one Harold Cuts has so I may have some pictures next year. I wish you success with the yearbook. For T is fa e UJe are.

A. S. is running as smoothly as ever. B efore I go further I suppose I should justify my presence south of the 49th. With Bill home this winter, the opportunity arose for me to take a little holiday. Such opportunities should not be allowed to slip by. ' I became interested in M. R. A. at the time of the showing of the All-African film Freedom in Edmonton last spring, so I decided to come down to Mackinac for a couple of months and then go home via Toronto and Guelph to visit my Uncle and some old classmates at the Ont¬ ario Agricultural College. I am having a wonderful time, a blend of education and enjoyment, you might say. The educational part brings to mind the good old school days when we studied ;he problems of the w orld in Social Studies. This is a fascinating place to study his subject, since there are people here from every corner of the globe and every :onceivable background. I am sending some literature in separate cover to give you in idea of what is going on down here. I shall be interested to know what you ihink of it. Would you please show it to Mr. Raboud also? I remember his deep loncern for South Africa, and I believe he would be interested to read about the [orce which is working behind the scenes to bring an answer to the situation. I wish you could see the scene before me. ' My window looks out over the Strait if Mackinac, which are frozen at present. The ice periodically breaks up and floats it into Lake Huron So the scenery is ever changing. We have a lot of snow and the temperature ranges between -10 degrees and 30 degrees. The fly in the ointment is nt it tends to be windy and that humid air coming off the Lakes tends to be, shall it say, chilly? Nevertheless, I would say that there is no place like home and I am looking irward to returning some time in March. WindrJ SI ow On February 27, a Minstrel Show sponsored by the Women ' s Institute was held in the high school auditorium, tfe had an enjoyable evening watching our elders perform. Some of our parents and friends and a number of the teachers of the three school districts were among the actors. TO STUDY FOR MINISTRY YJinnona Rogers, one of our 1958 graduates, has decided to study for the Ministry. She was accepted as a candidate by the Edmonton Presbytery of the United Church of Canada. In a ceremony held in the V. ' esley United Church, Edmonton, on Thursday, March 5, she made her formal dedication to the uork of the Church. Winnona is now attending the University of Alberta. She will be required to complete two more years there be¬ fore she goes to St. Stephen 1 s College for a three-year course in Theology. Besides her parents and friends, Vinnona had the con¬ solation of seeing at the ceremony of her dedication her maternal grandmother, I rs. V. J. Wilson of Vancouver. Congratulations, Winnona i We are proud of youi THE MIST 1-EKPRADLE DAY OF MY LIFE The hot July sun beat down relentlessly with a ferocity that left everyone haggard, exhausted, and defeated. As I lay beneath the shadow of a tall spruce tree, my imagination lazily pictured city children splashing in swimming pools, vacationers crowding the beaches, and then I wandered on to picture business men on their way to work after lunch, young and old making their way on baked sidewalks, struggling against the stifling heat. I suddenly wakened from my reverie and decided to relieve my mother of her daily tasks. The house was hot; so hot that it was hard to breathe in it. Mother walked outside expecting to find a cool spot, but everywhere the breeze was hot and heavy. The men in the fields sat on their tractors beneath the parching sun. making countless rounds, working the summer-fallow to prepare the earth for another year a This year ' s crop looked good; already it was as high as my waist, and headed mt too. The way things looked, I was going to get my bicycle this me hot day was not so hard to endure when one knew that sunlight would change the ' ields of grain from their summer green to the gold of autumn ' . And ' then the dark clouds began to gather on the horizon to bring relief to all! he breeze became lighter, and when four o ' clock ticked,a few r °P s ra n 3 P a er- d at the windows. Clashes of thunder boomed hollow in the quiet of the late after- oon. Long streaks of lightning lit up the dark purple sky. Soon my Dad came in horn the fields saying, That isn ' t rain, it ' s worse. ' „ Then the wind awoke in sudden fury, driving the dark clouds overhead. Thunder nd SghtSnglncreased, and then it happened. ' Hail! Hail that beat down merciless- v breaking windows, crushing garden plants, causing turkeys and chickens to scur •y’for shelter. ' For twenty minutes the frozen ice forms pelted down, ever increas- .ng in size until they looked like golf balls. As suddenly as it had come, the storm stopped. Y.lien we finally ventured to sur ■ey the damage, we found the grain there no more, but in its place broken, crushed iits of what was to have been a bumper crop. Within half an hour the wind had died down and the -heavy crlouds had dispersed, o the l!est the setting sun gave a faint red glow through the last vestige of cloud. . rainbow .ppoarod, th. r.in foil lights but the br � blawcool _ m NEW EOOEL This car is being advertised for I960. It is a charge from the 1959 Ford vehicles. Of course it has bee-: invented by boys with int¬ erest and new ideas ! It is guaranteed not to smash provided it can be kept on the road and on the proper side of the road when other cars are coming. No one cares for flats, so what about them? It is guaranteed for life not to have any (no tires). It has clear proven unbreakable windows (never get frosted). Another great improvement is the 300% gas-saving car motor (5 h. p. air-cooled ' motor; . It has wonderfully comfortable seats as long as you carry a pile of cushions. Its carry¬ ing capacity is 1000 pounds. Car ' -y wire and belt-sticker and you will be able to keep it go¬ ing cheaply, using only patience and interest. It has neither top nor doors; therefore, nothing shuts out the beautiful, scenery, nor the sun, nor the rain. Riders enjoy the scen¬ ery every foot of the road on account of the reduced speed: 20 miles per hour. Driving it with a rod is very exciting and gives one a chance to use his energetic body which is always ready to do something anyway. This car is used onlv in the day time.

Alberta a young province, is for the young,since it is not overpopulated nor set in its ways. Still in its adolescence, Alberta is the place for the husky pioneer farm¬ er and the budding industrialist. From the rolling southern foothills to the plains of the Peace River country there are wide-open spaces and fresh, clean air untainted by the smokestacks of factories and industrial plants. Field after field of rich, ripening golden grain, gently swaying in waves be fore the caressing breezes,unfold before one’s eyes as one travels through the farming regions, and one ' s throat closes in an instant of emotion as he gazes at the wonder of new life in the gently- moving herds of cattle, with their new¬ born young, placidly cropping the grass on a fresh spring morning when all of nature is bursting into bloom. In all their majesty, the lofty peaks of the Rockies beckon many a vaca¬ tioner year after year to that paradise on earth. Emerald and azure lakes twinkle like jewels in hidden valleys among their multi-colored snow-capped sentinels, and the torrential falls hus¬ tle into canyons with boiling foam and stinging spray. Possessing great natural beauty, Alberta has also new industries, and un¬ tapped mineral wealth. Oil and natural gas flow steadily from the wells of Le- duc and Redwater, bringing cheap fuel to home and factory. Chemical fertilizers, a great boon to the farmer, are produced at Raymond, where also is processed the sugar found on our tables. As compared to the peace of the farm and the hinterland, the cities and towns are bustling and busy, filled with energetic people who want to make some¬ thing of themselves. It is the people who make the country and Alberta, with ambition and foresight at its head, will make something of itself. Claire Leonard - XII GLOWING MORNING The first morning! There we were, huddled in the cramped quarters of that little boat, counting the minutes, wait¬ ing and looking toward the East from where the ducks would be coming. We spied a faint light in the sky. Ah,soon they would be flying about us, swooping and climbing, ever trying to reach their goal! Again I looked to the East and was stunned by the glow that had been produced in those few short seconds . From a faint yellow, it changed from hue to hue—yellow, gold, orange, red, scar¬ let—ever bordered by semicircles of purple and blue. Finally, when I thought the whole eastern sky a mass of flame the sun, in all its blazing,golden glory pushed its head above the horizon, fill¬ ing me with a raDturous feeling. 0 why don’t we get up every morning to survey this matchless beauty? To me, that crash¬ ing finale was but an anticlimax to the intensive colour panorama that had been unfolded to us that morning. Harold Cuts - XI ROCK’N ROLL All you hear is rock ' n roll all day With Elvis, Pat, and Doris Day, But very soon it will all fade away To come again some oth«r day. Now Elvis is an army man of U.S.A. There are left only Pat and Dor is Day, But when Elvis comes back from afar, He ' ll strum again on his guitar. And then when Flvis gets too old, He won ' t be able to rattle and roll, And when he tries to sing Too Much , He ' ll find he ' s lost the Golden Touch. Then when Elvis has passed away, Some other will have a glorious day, To sport around with many greenbacks, And sing of Elvis and his Cadillacs. Gordon Gunn - VII - 1958 I H E NEW TOWN OF ST. ALBERT DUCK SEASON The Town was simply in a mess Till 0. K. came and gave it a test, They brought in Cats and buckets galore, And now some hills are steep no more. The first day for shooting ducks, There was a joyous yell; The hunters sought their luck, A-waiting in the dell. They tore up sidewalks to lay the new, They dug up streets and paved them too; Now that the mud is covered up, The Town is really looking up. Joyce Mitchell - X A SPACE Ducks came in very large flocks, The beat of their wings was sad; And, mingled with piercing squawks The shot-gun blasts went mad. Jimmy Akins - XI A 0 HARVEST moon Very high and deeply set Among mysterious scenes, Space—a baffling question yet, We ' ll reach some day, it seems. 0 Harvest Moon, with your brilliant gleam, Please throw your rays upon this stream; And if you wish it, you may play Among the odorous stacks of hay. With many problems still in mind, Our time, then, we must bide, Before we prove the facts we find, The se crets Nature hides. George Fraser - X B m SUMMERTIME You make the harvest night so bright When you shine with all your might. 0 Harvest Moon, I love you so, And I never want to let you go. Jeannette McDonald - X B ST. alberi SCHOOL Summertime gives us the best of days When the sun pours down hot, blazing rays The flowers all seem to smell so sweet, And birds sing joyous songs: Tweet! Tweet! The peaceful, evenings are calm and cool And frogs sing merrily in the pool. Then stars all twinkle and shine so bright To bring the dusk to a perfect night. Harold Hesse - XI B 0 is for SCHOOL where a smart person goes, T is for TEACHERS from whom knowledge flows, A is for life AFTER which God only knows. L is for LIVING each day one by one.

Irene Lafranchise — XII Student WINS Success m y George Shaver, a former student of St. Albert School, has been accomplish¬ ing things since he left us in 1952. He attended the Institute of Tech¬ nology and Art in Calgary and completed the course that led to the trade of sheet metal worker. In 1957 he took the refresher course to become a Raster in the trade. He was one of the five who passed out of seventeen competitors, coming out second in the class with an average of 93$. Besides, he won a trophy,a draft¬ ing set, and two books on sheet metal work. George even found time for sports. During the winter of 1957-58 he won a trophy for being Boxer of the Year from the National Boxing fssociation.

The diction¬ ary gives the following definition: a fare¬ well address especially at the graduating exercises of a school or college. The word is derived from two Latin words: vale fare¬ well, and dicere: to say. So,a valedictorian is simply a student who is appointed to bid farewell, in the name of his fellow-graduates, to the school which he is about to leave or has just left. What are the criteria on which a vale¬ dictorian is chosen? The custom has been to appoint a student whose work showed a high level of achievement. But this was not the only deciding factor. His conduct had to be irreproachable, and hew expected to have collaborated with all the members of the teaching staff and with all his faELow- students.
