dedication It has been said that we don ' t appreciate something until we ' ve lost it. There has been a great deal of enthusiasm and excitement around the School this year at the prospect of having a new building, housing a long- dreamed of big modern gym among other things. This will be a wonder- ful thing for Trafalgar, and no one knows that better than Trafites, but it will mean tearing down the old Boarding School - something that has been a part of Traf since 1887. We are all beginning to realize just what that means. At lunch, someone will wonder out loud what it will be like with no infirmary to escape to, and someone else will comment that it will be odd not to be able to ask the old familiar question, What is it like to be a boarder? There will be no more boarders. Strange to think of, isn ' t it? Traf has been a boarding school for as long as it has existed and during this past year it was the only full-time girls ' boarding school in Quebec. Now it, too, is being modernized and renovated, and though ' progress ' will be much appreciated, the old Boarding School will also be missed. Therefore, this year we dedicate ' Echoes ' to the Boarding School - its staff and building and the generations of boarders who have lived through it. We dedicate it to the boarders ' walks, the fire drills, the big kitchen sinks, the dining room and the many meals that were eaten there, the living room with its comfortable chairs, the dormitories, the infirmary - Trafites will definitely regret losing the infirmary - and yes, even the drippy leak outside the dining room. We dedicate our Yearbook to all this and more which we will lose in fact, but not in memory, and which in losing we will appreciate. We who have knovm the Boarding School, even if not all as board- ers, are privileged. Let us hope that if, far in the future, the new building is ever replaced, those Trafites will regret a little losing it because it will have become such a part of Traf.
