Message from the Chairman of the Board of Education lt has been truly said: lt isn't wealth of riches that bring honor to an institution: rather is it those who tread in its service. And so it seems most appropriate that with the publication of this year's Oracle my thoughts should be directed to those who work within the halls of learning. First, to the teachersfthat nothing shall quench the pride you shall always feel at having been associated, even for a time, with an institution so notable in the past and so distinguished in the present as MR. E. POW that of the Woodstock Collegiate Institute. And secondly to the student body-that there shall be for each of you a busy, useful and happy life: more you cannot expect: a greater blessing the world cannot bestow. As the late Sir Wm. Osler once remarked toia graduating classeuto cast your horoscopes would be interesting. To do so collectively, you would not like: to do so individually-el dare not: but it is safe to predict certain things of you, as a whole. You will be better men and women for the life which you have led here, having been initiated into the great secret-that happiness lies in the absorption in some vocation, which satisfies the soul: that we are here to add what we can to, not to get what We can from, life. I do hope therefore, that with continued co-operation in the days that are ahead there may await the Woodstock Collegiate Institute an increasingly Wide and influential sphere of useful service.

gli February l2, 1949 Sir Oracle:- To all those who labor in your interests I extend my personal thanks. The bringing forth of this issue year after year is an important phase in the life of this Collegiate. The records of school activities during the year are thus preserved and no doubt this issue will find a valuable place in the files of many students and will be carefully preserved for years to come. The very close relationship between the life of this community and the school is visibly recognized by all the teachers. We are most grateful for the numerous contributions given by individuals and organizations from year to year. The honour of Winning a prize by a student in attendance, is cherished beyond question, and nobody can estimate its value in the light of stimulation and effort. In the hustle and bustle of this age, with so many things to do, I sometimes marvel at the steadiness of effort performed by the students in general. One hope for the future is to do our best for all and in so doing present a Well merited and united front. Signed, E. P. HODGINS THE ORACLE Eleven
