Robert Grant of the Staff, introduced Mrs. Ruth Mulligan, the guest speaker. Mrs. Mulligan, vice principal of the Lake Superior High School, spoke of the differences which will be experienced by the grade eight students when they enter high school - where they are treated as adults-their progress strictly their own concern, a matter of paying atten- tion during classes, making their own notes, and, sefting the discipline for their study habits. High school is the stepping stone to higher education, and where the student must decide himself, in what field he wishes to continue = in his inclination and his natural aptitude he can be guided by the counsellor for that purpose, but, the decision is his. And graduates from Schreiber high school have left many examples to emulate.
