Blaine Shupe Chairman Collegiate Board Gerald Fitzgerald Secretary Chairman’s Message It is my pleasure on behalf of the Weyburn Collegiate Board of Trustees to extend congratulations and best wishes to the graduating class of 1963. This is for many, we hope, the first step in your quest for an education that is of increasing importance to meet the challenges of this technical world in which you will soon be an important part. From classes such as this must come our leaders of tomorrow, just as our city is celebrating its 50th anniversary many of the leading citizens received their education in these classrooms. I would also like to commend the students and staff on celebrating with the city in producing this special anniversary edition of Weycollin . The tremendous amount of research and work involved in preparing this special edition certainly attests to the imagination and capabilities of our educated youth of today. Ken Pettit

Principal’s Message One night in ancient times, three horsemen were riding across the desert. As they came to a dry bed of a river, out of the darkness a voice called, Halt! They obeyed. The voice then told them to dismount; pick up a handful of pebbles, put the pebbles in their pocket and remount. Then the voice said, You have done as I commanded. to-morrow at sun up you will be both glad and sorry. Mystified, the horsemen rode on. When the sun rose, they reached into their pockets and found that a miracle had happened. The pebbles had been transformed into diamonds, rubies and other precious stones. They remembered their warning. They were both glad and sorry - glad they had taken some, and sorry they hadn ' t taken more. When you first entered Weyburn Collegiate you were like the three horsemen - faced with a situation you didn ' t fully understand. You were asked to pick up the pebbles of knowledge. Some you did and others you passed over. Now as you graduate and leave your school, I hope you will look back and feel that you gathered all the gems you could and will go away happy and not sad, feeling you should have gathered more. May I congratulate the Weycollin staff on their splendid book. Truly their effort is the culmination of all the yearbooks that W. C. I. has published and a great tribute to those who have made it possible for us at Weyburn Collegiate to celebrate our fiftieth anniversary. To those who remain to further their education in our school, it is my hope that you will acquire the knowledge, desire and self discipline to meet the ever growing challenge of life so that in the end your contribution to our way of life will be even greater than the contribution that has been made by our many graduates. Richard C. Smith, Principal.
