PRINCIPAL ' S MESSAGE As I sat down to write this annual message, the horrible thought occurred to me that perhaps no one ever bothers to read what the principal has to say. The rest of the book is so lively, and reflects so much credit on those whose time, effort and talent have produced it, that it would not be too surprising if this page were neglected. However, in the unlikely event that there will be some readers, let me philosophize for a paragraph or two about what this school — and others like it — is all about. It is perhaps unfortunate that marks on examinations mean as much as they do in educational circles. But until other standards are accepted, we must use these marks as others do. However, examination marks are only one of the many results which a school like ours ought to be trying to achieve. As students, spending some years here, you are growing toward maturity in surroundings which, in many ways, resemble the outside world which you will soon enter. Your fellow-students are your co-workers; teachers are the bosses. It is hoped that you will learn how different people can be, and how you can adjust to others even if they are not much like yourself. Above all, it is hoped that you will learn to turn in an honest day ' s work. If, instead, you are learning how to dodge as much work as possible, you will have a very hard time holding a job in the outside world. Here are some other qualities which you should try to develop: cheerfulness, respect and consideration for other people and their property, helpfulness. Such qualities as these are so important that, if you have learned them, you are likely to be happy and successful even if your marks are not too wonderful.

ADMINISTRATION It seems to have been a tradition in our schools not to allow the Vice-Principal to write anything in the Year Book. I welcome this break with tradition and eagerly accept the invitation to write a short paragraph. To the students responsible for this book, I offer my sincerest congratulations. It is not an easy task to compile all the data, meet deadlines and to prod the writers to get their material in on time. To graduating students, my wish is for success in whatever you may undertake in the future. I hope that Northwestern has been good for you. Come back Mr. Burnett and visit anytime. You will always be welcome in our school. To the students still with us, I encourage you to achieve the epitome of competence in the classroom along with a distinct and burning pride in your personal qualifications and in your school. If you do this, the fame and reputation of Northwestern will soar to even greater heights and you will have been the cause of it. Directors and Department Heads Mr. Charlton Commercial Mr .
