SAMARA 3 Dear Elmwoodians, My seventh year at Elmwood is drawing to a close. The Ancients believed there was magic in numbers, seven meaning perfection. Be that as it may, this year has spelt fulfillment in many of my aims. Academically, Elmwood has been steadily climbing. This year ' s senior class must struggle to live up to the high standard set in June 1958 on the Upper School examinations — 100% passes and 74% ho nours. Naturally, I am proud of our success in this field, but even more I am proud of the loyalty you are showing to the ideals of the school, the things I regard as its spirit. I think many of you have learnt that there must be a meaning and direction to life. Although it starts out as a great adventure, it never quite measures up to our dreams. It isn ' t meant to! The grey material of life only becomes beautiful when the golden light of the world beyond shines through it. This only happens when we develop a reverence for things of the spirit. Today all movement seems to be outward. Men are gaining more and more knowledge. The stress is on the practical. Knowledge seems sense. More and more power is added to natural life because our interest rushes to the furthest limits of the universe. It seems to me that along with this outward movement, which now even embraces Space, there should be an inward one reaching to the things that endure, where our roots should be planted. This is the heart of life. It never changes. That is why all that endures in literature is linked with the depth rather than the breadth of life and reveals the real things of the spirit. If we treat these things with respect we enrich our own lives and get a clue to the meaning of the Universe — that God is the Centre. Francis Thompson describes a man as a Swinging-wicket, set Between The Unseen and the Seen. This is how we should think of our lives as being lived in the stillness of God ' s protection in spite of the seeming rush and confusion of the present age. When you realize this, you will know how to make even the most significant details on the surface of life significant and there will be real meaning and direction to your existence, no matter in what circumstances your fife must be lived. Affectionately,
