Principal ' s Message We often talk here at the school of the Trafalgar family. Who are we referring to? In a sense there are two families. The more immediate is made up of the students and the staff who inter-react on a daily basis to create an atmosphere which really does resemble that of a large family. Our small enrolment and many traditions of friendhness help make this possible. New girls arriving in September are quickly engulfed into this family. The second and larger Trafalgar family has been most evident this year. Of course, it is always present. However, on May Day, when we officially opened and dedicated the new academic wing, the importance of this extended family to school life was clearly underlined. Gathered in the gleaming sun of that truly beautiful day were students, staff, former staff, alumnae, parents, former parents, board members and a multitude of fr iends. Their collective efforts had made the new wing a reality. Without this extended Trafalgar family it is doubtful that the school could survive. With it our continued prosperity is assured. Early in the 1950 ' s a young girl enrolled at the school. Later in that decade she graduated and was one of the first alumnae to be married in the new Grace Chapel. A dozen years ago she was asked to join the Board of Directors. Five years ago her daughter came to the school and when she graduated her mother became a past parent. She has been a constant friend of the school throughout. Student, alumnus, board member, parent, past parent, friend: not every girl who comes to Trafalgar will serve the school in so many capacities. However, no matter how small or how large a role you play in school Ufe, it is a significant part of the Trafalgar family web. To those who are leaving the immediate Trafalgar family in June we send our love and best wishes. May you strive to maintain contact in some fashion with your school. In any case, this lovely book will serve to keep alive the memories of your association with the Trafalgar family. C.T. Craig Kamcke, M.A. Expression, emotion, examination, vacation - this is the pattern at the close of the school year. It is a time to )ause and remember, but also to anticipate the future. To the people graduating, thank-you for your leadership, co-operation and flair. To those returning I ' m depending on your abilities next year. A happy summer to all! Ann Wiggins, B.A., M. Ed.

OUR HEAD GIRL Trafalgar - what does it mean? Simply, a collage of people and cultures. Each of us come from a variety of backgrounds to share with others what we are and what we have experienced. We learn a multitude of lessons. To me one of the most important lessons was how to be more an individual, to escape from being lost in the crowds. At Trafalgar this opportunity is given to each of us, whether it be in extracurricular activities or academics. The chance is there; look for it and strive to be you! Best of luck in all your future endeavours! love, MOW Michelle Ou Wai BACK ROW (1-r): H. McDonald, K. Paton, Y. Dixon, K. Black, A. Christ, H. McCrea, K. Bourne, T. Nunez, P. Scott, K. Holmes, K.
