DEDICATION The Nor ' Wester Staff is pleased to dedicate our 1972 - 1973 Yearbook to three retiring members or our Faculty and Administration. We dedicate this book to Mr. Burnett, Mr. Gibbings and Mr. Camden and wish them much happiness in the future. MR.

He will resign at the completion of this year, and intends to travel widely and extensively, ranging from Australia to India. He was born at Durham, Ontario, and after receiving his Bachelor of Arts degree, worked at Kenora. In 1940 Mr. Burnett went overseas and served in the Canadian army for five years, and also worked with the United Nations for India and Pakistan. He received many decorations, among them are The Order of Leopold and The Croix de Guerre. He came to Stratford in 1957 and, after serving as principal for Central, he came to Northwestern in 1962. The opening night of the school is one of his memorable events. The new addition added during his time here is also a fond memory. Mr. Burnett ' s advice to the students is, Honesty should be foremost. MR. GIBBINGS Mr. Gibbings has decided to leave Northwesten after completing the 1972- ' 73 term.
