Vice-Principals ' Messages When you read this book for the first time it will be the Fall of ' 77. Maybe you have been recently introduced to the new world of university or college, or maybe you have just started another year at T.I.S.S. As I write, it is the end of May and to- day I was speaking with a year 5 student who exclaimed with joy, Only sixteen days to go! No doubt she is looking forward to the exciting new experiences - she is leaving the nest. But this is a book of memories, of days never to be lived again. Today the faces and the events recorded here are familiar and fresh: some day you ' ll be struggling to remember names, and the events will be fleeting flashes of bygone victories and adolescent tragedies. You are becoming. What will be become? Life is unfolding. What will it unfold? Your years at T.I.S.S. have seen you grow In stature and in soul. Are you ready, are you willing? Take the pen or take the hoe. D. MacLennan, Vice-principal. Mr. Duncan MacLennan This has been an interesting and exciting year for me at T.I.S.S. Not only have I enjoyed the challenge of a new role in education, but I have also enjoyed renewing old acquaintances and making new ones among the student body and staff. I have been impressed throughout the year by the generally enthusiastic involvement of students in school activities and by the fine co-operation we have received from students in alleviating some of the problems associated with having a large number of people in a relatively small space. I urge students returning to T.I.S.S. to maintain their in- volvement in the life of the school and remind them that en- thusiasm for classroom work can have the same benefits and long-term effects as does enthusiasm in extra-curricular activi- ties. A good balance in involvement in school activities is the best way to ensure a happy and productive school career. For those leaving T.I.S.S. this year, I thank you for your contribution to the life and times of the school and wish you happiness and success in the future.
