From the Business Manager AKPJEB. NAN CO O LSMA, C lz.ai7'fmian, Publications. NOTEZ-VOUS As you leaf through this magazine years from now, you will picture many recollections. There were always those announcements in the assembly and on the P. A.g your class reps were forever extorting money from youg and ever-present was that undercurrent, that strive to contribute to your magazine . Then you will realize that this was all for a purpose. The advertising, the stories, the jokes, all seemed useless at the time, but in the future they will bring back delightful memories. And each job done, no matter how insignificant it seemed, Was so very important. Imagine if someone had forgotten to design the front cover! You Will see that, even imposing responsi- bilities on others was important: the right people had to have the right jobs. The hard Working editors: the patient teacher-advisers, who met problems with a smile, the girls who typed out our magazineg even the newspaper- men Who Worked hard in trying to avoid going bankrupt g these people, and even you who bought a school magazine, helped to produce this publication.

From the Editors fCont 2 OUR EDUCATION These are times of high unemployment and yet relatively high prosperity, but will this prosperity continue when the world has been handed over to us? We, of this generation will be responsible for the manner in which commerce, politics, and society flourish or flounder. The World will be ours to do with and shape as we will. We know that the future of the world hangs in the balance of two great powers: one free, the other a slave to itself. At present there is a cold war existing between these two powers. Tfhis is a problem which we must accept and try to solve when it is given to us. This, plus untold other problems face us. Will we be ready :to handle them? It is the hope of our educators that they will be able to prepare us for the coming task. Our learning program is well planned so that we will receive a well rounded preliminary education. For those who wish to continue the road divides into many directions and nar- rows iinto specialized fields. By the setting of high standards and require- ments it is their hope to encourage those whose marks are not quite up to par to endeavour to raise their standing and to develop the feel- ing that education is a Challenge that can be answered. Our education should not be merely to prove that we can keep up with the Russians , it should be something that the student ardently desires. Anything into which a person is forced seems much more difficult than some- thing entered into on one's own initiative. Any defeatist attitude is somewhat dispelled by the addition of social functions, and extra-curricu- lar activities in which we are all able to take part. These have been added with foresight and a particular result in mind by our educational administrators. And although high school is primarily an institution of learning, the de- velopment of a pleasing personality may also be classified as part of education. Here in high school we pass most of our time, and therefore it certainly leaves a deep imprint on our character and personality. It is then most important that our high school years be happy and memorable ones, but not at the expense of our marks. I then extend to you, the hope that your high school years are memorable and your failures few. Bill Muir.
