MARK JACKMAN tTife School Caft m ' i Ti oii Life at St. John’s Ravenscourt School is a continuous, routine type of existence. Each new school year is only new in the sense that the details are different; the school as a whole changes very little over the years. Each year people start school at S.J.R. and each year people graduate from S.J.R. Each year there are Junior Prefects and Senior Prefects, and so on; the names change, but the system remains the same. The general contents of this School Captain’s report may have been written before; only the details may differ. School can be viewed from three different viewpoints: past, present and future. The past is simple: sitting here at my desk writing this report, I can easily reminisce over my past days at S.J.R. I can go right back to those first days of complete bewilderment before I began to settle down into the routine. All too vividly I remember being beat up by the older boys and thinking how long it would be until I was a senior. Everybody recalls waiting impatiently for the great flood of 1965-66 to engulf the school; the flood which never made it. I will never forget being thrown into the cold waters of the Red River on the night of the 1966 Prize-Giving. The present is what we have on our hands right now, the school year 1966-67. For the seniors, this year marks the end of the beginning. It is the last of our years at S.J.R., and the one that we will remember the most. It is also the year in which we look into the future of the school: the year we help the younger ones to learn how to get the most out of S.J.R., and also how to put the most into it. This school year reaches into Canada’s Centennial Year, and the seniors have the job of launching S.J.R.’s Centennial Program. Another important detail of the present is the Dutton Memo¬ rial Arena, an ambitious addition to the school which we can watch being built this year. What about the future? Of course, no one can foresee the progress of S.J.R. in the future, but we, the seniors, can do our bit right now to ensure a desirable future for the school. As Captain, I hope to make this year one that the seniors will want to remember in the future. 10
