After completing my first full year at the school, I finally feel that I now understand the scope and nature of the SJKS program. Portrayed within the covers of this book, readers will be able to see the astonishing breadth of experiences at the school. We have a fine academic program which is sup- ported by trips to Ottawa and Niagara Falls, two week im- mersion weeks in Quebec, and Geography and choir trips to the United States. Clearly academics are not restricted to the classrooms at our school. In the arts, we continue to ex- cel with fine Junior choirs at St. Margaret Hall and St. John’s Hall while at the Senior School the Kilmarnock Singers continue to give outstanding performances. In athletics, we know we are not going to win all our games. However, we did win CWOSSA championships in skiing and won the district golf and wrestling awards. Our girls field hockey team had an impressive 17 game season without a loss. In order to run such a busy, successful school, the faculty and students must work together. This, in my view, is the reason why we are able to achieve so much as a school. I congratulate the graduates for showing such fine leadership and hope that this yearbook will bring back fond memories for you. Mr. David Hodgetts Some of the words of our School Hymn, Glorious Things of Tfiee are Spoken, took on a new meaning at the sod-turning in May. As we sang, marching onto the property under dark skies stabbed by lightning, and in light drizzle, phrases such as “See, the streams of living waters” and “See the cloud and fire appear” didn’t inspire great confidence. The Honourary Perrin Beatty’s remarks later about water causing the new seed to grow were much more reassuring, and, I think, the more ap- propriate way to look at the weather. We all stand on the verge of a tremendous opportunity. I feel especially fortunate as I had the chance in 1972 to be a part of a new School, and now have the opportunity to be a part of a new beginning. Not everyone gets two such chances in a lifetime. We have accomplished alot in the last two years: site selec- tion and purchase, rezoning, committee reports, sod-turning ceremony, choice of prime consultant and architects, and the start of fund-raising. All of this has taken an enormous amount of time, and energy and teamwork from board members, staff, parents, and students. The thing that has impressed me the most is the teamwork. Committed people have worked together, debated, disagreed, compromised and reached con- sensus on important issues. Our ability to keep focused on our goal has united us. Much remains to be done in the next year: consultations, working diagrams, tendering, contrustion, fundraising and moving. All of this will take more time and effort and team- work. All of which brings me to phrases from our School Hymn again: “On the Rock of ages founded” and “Well sup- ply thy sons and daughters.” May I salute all who have given so much and encourage them to continue working together to complete the task: To stir into flame the gift of God. Sincerely, W.F. Langford. 2
