JLowa School tfmdmsiM i Jomuod My last foreword was written under threat from the surly Red River, and in fairness to such read¬ ers who may have beenleftinsuspenseby the serial nature of that description, may I assure them that we remained and continue to remain high and dry. Since the subsidence of the unruly Red, the Lower School has gone from strength to strength and has reached the record enrolment of 166 boys. The new stage, Art room, Music room, Hobbies room, Judo room, Locker room, Playroom, and Biology laboratory, as well as the classrooms have therefore provided space for the deployment of our forces. However, if iron bars do not a prison make then neither do bricks and mortar make a school. Our facilities are there to serve our purpose, which in the proved tradition of independent schools is the education of the wholeman. Towhat extent that purpose has been served is best left to the infor¬ mation in this section of the yearbook, compiled in part by the boys of the Lower School. One memorable event that will not be covered in the pages of the book was the meeting at St. John’s-Ravenscourt School of the Preparatory School committee of Headmasters for the first time. Coming from East and West on January 5th, 1967 they made, by exchanging ideas, a valuable contri¬ bution to the start of our Centennial Year and stayed to cheer the National Team to victory against the Russians in the Centennial Tournament. At this meeting Dr. Hodson and Dr. Bowden, both of the University of Manitoba, gave us prac¬ tical insight into the programming of computers for educational purposes and, in spite of assurances to the contrary, we all felt as teachers a little inadequate, not to say, unnecessary. As human beings however, we still feel that such nicknames as have been devised for us by the smaller fry would look uncommonly out of place if tagged to computers instead. C.B. Kiddell.
