A MESSAGE FROM OUR HOME AND SCHO OL, The Viscount Bennett Home and School Executive has tried to help the school and parents as much as possible during the past year, working on the assumption that an idea won’t work unless we do. We strive for a better understanding and co-operation between the teachers and parents in relation to the students. With informative programmes on school curriculum such as Help Your Teen-Ager Budget Time , a panel discussion on Social Studies and Mr. Ward Steckle, principal of Western Canada High School, discussing The Four Routes of the Senior High School Programme , we have tried to interest the parents in the work of their children. With such financial aid as sponsoring the Christmas Concert .and helping.with collections for the Library Fund, we have tried to aid in making the school a more pleasant place for its students. We feel that the official opening of the High School was such a success, because of the untiring work and - planning of our president, Mr. Miller. :■ ' We know that many things are yet to be accomplished, and we earnestly solicit the help of all members. A little work by many achieves great things. The members of the executive have all enjoyed working together for this beautiful new school and we hope that even more will be accomplished during the coming year. Hrs. ' W. J. : J. Stuckey, Secretary, Home and School Association.

The somewhat timid infant who started life two years ago has grown .suddenly into an active child and shows many interesting characteristics. The young Viscount has grown stronger physically and competes with his rivals on better terms; he has developed a pleasant, attractive personality; he has become quite active socially; occasionally he shows a little feeling for serious responsibility; and last and most important, he exhibits the first s,igns of mental growth - a few bumps of knowledge have begun to appear. During the coming year this potential giant will again double his size and develop in .many interesting ways. What his final form will be, only time and the efforts of all of us can determine. Thus far we have done well with our growing boy. Let’s continue and help him to become bigger and better next year. H. W. Bryan. GREETINGS FROL THE ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL It is an honour to be asked to write an article for the Yearbook, although I find it difficult to write something today which will be worth reading when it appears in print., I have some thoughts about Viscount Bennett School, which I would like to share with you. This is a young school - not yet two years old - and it has no traditions and very little school spirit. Traditions, worthy or unworthy, come with time; school spirit comes as soon as the teachers and students feel a oneness among themselves. The students here now are building the traditions which the students in the years that follow will respect or regret. To establish traditions of which we can be proud, students and staff must reach out toward ideals of integrity and service. Only as we individually remain true to the best we know, can we build the best we dream. School spirit is not easily defined, but it is not unlike the bond of goodwill and affection which ties the members of a real family together. So long as we work together here for the highest in scholarship, the finest in sportsmanship and kind¬ liness in all our relations, genuine school spirit will develop. Let us nurture it tenderly! Eva Jagoe,
