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!
