Year Book— 1929-1930 General Wolfe Junior High School YEAR BOOK, 1929-1930 To Graduating Students: Another year has passed and you are about to leave the General Wolfe School. It is the desire, I am sure, of the entire staff that you should carry with you kind recollections of your school. Your attitude and work in both sport and study has been on the whol very satisfactory, and will do mu h ■ ' towards building a tradition worthy of the General Wolfe. Many of you, I hope, will continue your studies in the High School and the University; and this will be the first mile stone in your career. Our inter¬ est will continue to be with you as you journey along. Be sure, however, to fix before you a high ideal and to keep moving steadily toward this goal. W. H. Huntley, Principal.

Harper Time moves quickly and the “welcomes” of yesterday are the “good¬ byes” of today, and so it is with us—the graduating classes of 1930 are say¬ ing farewell to the General Wolfe School. Farewells are never eagerly anticipated and we can assure our teachers that this is no exception to the rule, for during our attendance here we have learned to love the old school and all that it stands for. We have seen it grow from sixteen classrooms to twenty-four and today we can boast of an enrolment of one thousand students. We feel we cannot depart without leaving a token of our gratitude, a picture, which may be a silent reminder of our appreciation for the guid¬ ance and inspiring help we have received during the past three years. To¬ day we realize all our teachers have done for us and we leave Mr. Huntley, teachers and students, our best wishes. This year, for the first time in the history of the Winnipeg schools, all pupils in the Junior High Schools of the city will be exempt from writ¬ ing a final examination in all subjects in which they obtain an average of 60% or over. If, however, they have an average below 60% in any sub¬ ject, they need write a final test in that subject only. This, many assert, is a much fairer way of conducting final examina¬ tions. They contend that a pupil who does consistent work all year should be awarded in this way and with them the editors heartily agree. It was with much regret that we learned of Mr. Longley’s illness in March, and there is not a student in the school but has missed his jovial voice and watchful eye. He will always have the kind thoughts and good wishes of the graduates of 1930. The Editorial Staff have worked hard to make this magazine a success and we desire to acknowledge our gratitude to our advertisers, teachers and fellow students for the generous support they have given us. This is YOUR magazine as much as any member of the staff and we need your help to make it a success. Each one of you buy a magazine and endeavour to stir up enthusiasm in your own room and let us break all previous circulating- records. Now let’s go, 1930 Graduates. Keep that school spirit to the end! Make the most of it!
