Excerpt from The Shipbuilder, 1935, Vol. 5

Yet the true significance of these tercentenary celebrations delves much deeper than the surface jubilee merriment shows: it is commemorative of an achieved ideal of the realization of an actuality from a dream. The secondary school has endured through periods of storm and stress; it has been the object of criticism and abuse. Yet to - day it represents a vital and indispensable factor in our com munity life. A town without a school is a town without progress or foresight.

The progress that the school has made, from the crude wooden building where in taught the school-ma'am and the traveling school-master, with their out - mod ed and sadly mistaken ideas about education, to the modern school of today with every facility to stimulate and make learning easier, has proved astounding.

Men and women are today devoting their entire lives to the cause of evolving practical theories about education in order to remove the last trace of guess work in teaching and to learn to understand the pupils more thoroughly. More free dom of thought and speech is allowed; the modern student is no longer the stifled individual that he formerly was.

Thus we see with what tremendous bounds the secondary school has progress ed. Pioneer men and women have created an essential and lasting structure; it is our duty to strive for its growth and to support its existence in order that it may continue throughout the ages.
