Patterso11 eotlegiatc !11stitute W INDSOR, ONTARIO ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Another important step in our education has been completed-another year in high school has passed. With it many exciting experiences such as examinations. social. and athletic events have gone by and would never come back to our memory if we did not have the Patrician. As we leaf through the pages of our year book now, it is not much more lhan an account of all the activities that have taken place throughout the terms of the 1955-1956 school year. But in future years. when repeatedly we find ourselves turning the worn-out pages of this magazine. it will bring us memories and reminiscences of our happy and carefree youth. To make these wonderful recollections possible for us, a hard-working s:aff, guided ' by the unfailing teacher-advisors Miss Healey, Mr. Bowden and Mr. Cummings. spent many hours in making this a good magazine. Also much credit for this successful edition goes to the fine co-operation of Miss Long and her typing Class 110, Mr. Marshall and to all the people who have contributed inspiring messages and articles. Finally we appreciate the untiring persistence of our advertising agents, whose efforts have resulted in a sum which compares favourably with those of past years. Let us show them our gratitude by sup porting the advertisers at all times in every possible way. Once again, on behalf of the students at Patterson, I wish to express their thanks to all the loyal supporters for their generous assistance, in making this magazine such a complete record of their outstanding school year 1955-1956.

Page 2 PATTERSON PATTERSON AND YOUR FUTURE Here at Patterson, students frolic and fret through their years at high school. Exams bring stress, strain and tension, clubs and extra-curricular activities bring friends and social service work, and sports and dances bring excitement, sportsmanship and fun. The immediate benefit of each of these is evident, but the long-range benefit is more im portant. In the years to come, you will look back on your homework, detentions, extra assignments, exams, teachers, games, and dances with joy and melancholy, laughter and tears. Each club or team that you belong to teaches you some thing. Although too many extra-curricular activities may interfere with your studies, each student here at Patterson should try to take full advantage of at least one or two activities outside the classroom. Your teachers advise par ticipation in them and know that working with and for dif ferent types of people will prepare you for your future. Taking orders from a superior officer or a coach, helping with social service work, or learning how to be tactful and helpful with fellow members and students are all great assets. G. E. MARSHALL Although it is important to participate in these activities your academic work should be kept up at all costs, not to get a class pin (which is desirable) or to keep up with the better students in the class, but rather for your own per sonal benefit. THE PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE That many students take an active interest in school Once again it is my privilege to write a brief message for activities, is vividly demonstrated by their support of teams, the Patrician. First, I wish to congratulate the Editor, her clubs, and dances which were enjoyed by all. Although we staff and all who have contributed to its success. They have were unsuccessful in bringing any new championships to done an excellent job. I commend this edition of our school Patterson this year, our teams put in hours of hard practice magazine to all the student body, because it reviews the and many were championship contenders.

Winning is not always the sign of the better team, for losing demands the best of sportsmanship. As we near the end of another school year we might well look back and appr aise the progress we have made in our Although our school teams were not as successful as in studies and school life. We can then decide whether we previous years, our scholastic achievement was very high as have lived up to Patterson's fine Latin motto, which reminds was shown by the long list of presentations and awards us that no day should pass without some progress being made at the 1955 Commencement Exercises.
