TRINITY COIJIJEGE SCHOOL RECORD 3 treated or dealt with in the same fashion because of their different ideas of justice, peace, and the rights of a humsan beingg and, above all, it is a world that badly needs to be straightened out and set on the path to peace once more. Before we begin our careers we must have a perfect knowl- edge of all we believe to be right, but we must never make the mistake of ignoring the other person's views of what he considers to be right and true. If we can build our knowledge around these principles, we will have taken an important step in the direction of making ourselves better citizens of our country. By so doing, we shall, in s-ome measure, have fulfilled our obli- gation to those for whom our Chapel has been dedicated and whose lives were sacrificed in the hope that we might live in freedom. And we shall also- have done our part in prevent- ing a Third World War. Owing to difficulties in printing, it has been impos- sible for The Record to produce two numbers this termi. It is hoped that the issue of December will appear early in February. ,- ,, Q2,TZ1,- - f f, 4 ' af-gg. ffigZ Z2-- Z If E ' n ' '-2 'T' J:-Z: .3 vga, li!! -A n -5-1 iw' 1 ' lflf Q.: If-gf illl gl in i fsllffffr Liu' :gi rl swim Ng- -N3' it-in a iallllsl-

2 TRINITY COLITEGE SCHOGL RECORD in their own chapel, instead of the temporary one we have occupied for twenty-one years. On Sunday, Oct. .21, we were all very privileged participants in perhaps the most impor- tant ceremony ever to take place at the School, that of con- secrating the new Memorial Chapel. It was a beautiful service from the first notes of the organ until the last person had filed out of the building, and we could 'all see the heart- felt thanks in the eyes of the mothers, fathers and relatives of the deceased Old Boys for the fitting and lasting tribute that was being paid to them fl' HF 18 SB 8 During the service we are sure many of the boys of the present School must have been asking themselves the ques- tion whether some day another service will take place, a service in memory of those that died in a War that is yet to come. We pray that there will never be a service of this kind, but we have noticed that there is a feeling prevalent among the boys of the School, that they will be powerless to prevent the outbreak of another war. There is little basis for such despair, however, when we stop to analyse the ways in which we will later be able to he-lp our country achieve a real peace. Trinity has in the past produced boys who later became statesmen, highly renowned scientists, and leaders of the country, and there is no doubt that she will continue to do so, but that is all in the future, and we often ask what we can learn and do now that will help us in later life. Aside from the basic knowledge that permits us to pass our Senior Matriculation, we are able at the School to obtain extra valuable knowledge from the lectures and material that are available to us on World Affairs, Political Science or Economics. However, while learning all we can, we must also be aware of the type of world we are going out to face. Everyone must learn that it is a world of conflicting ideals, a world where large sections are so different from us that certain nations will persecute anyone who declares his belief in God, a world where no two people can be

'Q it , PURITY Using as his theme the School motto, Blessed are the Pure in Heart , the Headmaster on September 23 preached to the boys in the Chapel. He said that forty-ive years ago cholera, a painful disease, used to break out frequently. The disease Was Hnally stopped when chemicals were in- troduced to kill impurities in water. Our motto, Blessed are the pure in heart , said the Headmaster, means pure from all contagion, disease, and evil. A true Christian's pure heart is full of love, at its highest point sublime and unique. To illustrate this, Mir. Ketchum used a quotation from St. Paul, If I have not love, I am nothing . The Headmaster continued, saying that Pure in Heart means singleness of purpose ,a positive objective, which is to lead a good life. One may ask, he said, what is the good life? Reading the New Testament in our services helps to point the way to a good life. Then the Headmaster mentioned that the study of religion to understand Christ's teachings is a privilege which is denied to many. It lays a sure foundation
