Z x that the objection to Editorial: Above all, this year has been a strong one at Trinity. Perhaps more than ever, unity has bound the school together in an encouraging way. Cliques could easily have arisen with the amalgamation of the junior and senior schools, divisions that can be extremely detrimental. However, the strength of the senior school, and the sixth form in particular, ensured a fairly close and happy year. Nonetheless, 1 cannot help but be partially disappointed in a year that could have been better. At times during the year an apathetic mood set in that seemed to dampen the spirit of things. This seems not to be a perennial problem, but rather an increasing dilemma of recent years. Perhaps there is a needed spark to liven things up. What may cause apathy is the sheer time involved in most boys' stay at the schoolfs they spend more time here, many let the little problems get them d . They fall prey to easy pessimism without searching for a better s e P- ompounding this problem is boredom that increases as the novelty of ,.S. wears off. Yet is this a fault of the school? I think not. As one becomes accustomed to an environment, he should find new facets of it to entertain himself. Thus the onus is on the individual to make what he can of his school and surroundings. It is easy to give up in a negative manner, but this leads nowhere. If the effort is made to gain from what is available, then progress can be made. I cannot entirely blame thosewho stagnate in this way, though. There is much that is petty around, rpfich that irritates. It is unfortunate, however, becomes so dominating. The positive problems mentioned, yet it is often only the factors outweigh problems that are wever, th dcve ,. were greatly surpassed by the spirit the school back just when it was needed.
