We 1446 ed 7. 70. , Zhawqmz We are building tor all time. We are building a school. lt is our obligation to know it and to make it known, to promote its interest, to interpret its opportunity, to work for it in every way. We shall grow ourselves in so doing. We shall know a new satisfaction and a new enrichment as we give our thoughts and our work and our prayers to planning which has been set to the shaping of our pathways for ourselves and tor our school. Our school lite serves as an important part of our environment. its obvious purpose is training for each individual to enable him to best run his own life. Everyone has the responsibility of developing his own talents, his knowledge, his understanding, in order to contribute to the work of the world in some way. Edwin Markham sums it up nicely. He wrote: There is a destiny that makes us brothers, None goes his way alone. All that we send into our lives of others, Comes back into our own. T. W. Mitchell 8
