1 A. P. HILDEBRAND, B.A., B.Ed. (U. of M.) PHYSICS XII PHYSICS XI In our ever changing society, school is becoming increasingly important. Increas¬ ingly obvious also is the fact that mere compilation and recall of facts is not ed¬ ucation; that facts and ideas must be harnessed and put to practice before the individual or his fellow men benefit. As factual information increases, as more and more ideas are published, and as an ever greater contact is made with other peoples of the world through travel, it becomes evident that an individual has to direct his course in life with greater discrimination. Concurrently he has to learn to adapt to changing environment and circumstances; to be pliable; to view new ideas, new concepts and new approaches with an open mind, questioning everything — accepting the good and rejecting the frivolous, foolish and evil. Ptutciftalb Into this complex world we are sending the youth of today — not as we did a decade ago, to assume the leading role in local affairs due to a better education, but in ever increasing numbers to higher institutions of learning where they will specialize in their particular field of interest, or to other institutions of advanced training and specialization. It will be up to our youth to achieve competence and show initiative in the many problems that remain to be solved and in the many problems of which we are not yet aware. We are placing our trust in the youth of today, that they will prepare properly for their tasks of tomorrow. At the same time, we are attempting to show them truths that we have accepted through experience — truths that we have found sufficient in our hours of need and discouragement — and hope that they will help to light their paths. Comforting is the thought that in this changing world we may travel unafraid if we but follow the example of the wise man who built his house upon a rock. It is the aim of every institution of learning to assist the individual to mold his mind so that he may be wise. This is our aim also. If we fail in this respect, we have failed in all others. May this wisdom aid in alleviating suffering, greed and hate; may it help in welding the brotherhood of man. I am looking forward with anticipation to the role that our students will play in this great drama of life. Judging from the vigor with which some of them attack problems, I expect that some of them will play prominent roles. To all, I extend best wishes for a successful year as well as a successful future. 9
