PRINCIPAL ' S MESSAGE To the majority of you, June 1962 marks the culmination of your high school education. As a member of the graduating class you have reached a crossroad as you bid goodbye to fellow students, the staff and the school. Only a small part of your road lies behind you; the rest is ahead. As you look back over what has seemed to be a somewhat difficult journey, your mem¬ ories will be tinged with regret as well as pleasure. Perhaps you regret not having used full horsepower and your best wheels. However, no doubt Vic will bring happy recollections too of friendships, noisy corridors, busy classrooms, athletic contests, lit assemblies, awards night, graduation exercises, the hush of the examination room, and favourite teachers. When you turn your eyes to peer down the road ahead, you feel a sense of past accom¬ plishment, a realized ambition and a confidence of being prepared to meet new challenges that reach out before you. Your life in the senior high school has developed resources that will for¬ tify and sustain you, habits that will make for happy and successful living, and skills that will enhance your usefulness with the passing miles. May it be so! Your goal may be away in the beyond, but never give up striving to reach it. The hard¬ ships which you endure and overcome en route are character builders which give you strength to forge ahead. Never for a moment lose your highest ideals, for these like road maps are there to guide your progress. If it is your aim to continue your education at the university or to upgrade some skill learned at high school, you can be assured that your opportunities will multiply with each milestone passed. I trust that you will realize your fondest dreams on the highways of the future and have the optimism and determination expressed by these words of Emerson: So nigh is grandeur to our dust, So near is God to man. When duly whispers low, “Thou must,” The youth replies, “I can.” C. M. Hollingsworth. 2
