EIJITURIAL T HE YEAR NINETEEN HUNDRED AND FIFTY was indeed an eventful one. Witli its promises of peace and prosperity, it brought the shocking announcement of Communist aggression in Korea, where the Korean Wrrr still threatens the peace of the world. The important events of the year were not, however, limited to foreign fields, for here in Winnipeg the scene of the Assiniboine and Red River floods attracted world-wide attention. In the midst of this turmoil and confusion, even when the flood waters were at their peak, other events were taking place. These were to mean much to us for they resulted in the birth of Balmoral Hall. We are still very young, but we are old enough to realize the firm foundations on which we are building and the fine traditions which we have inherited from Rupert's Land Girls' School and Riverbend School for Girls. Inspired by past traditions, but bound by new loyalties, we must endeavour to make Balmoral Hall worthy of its inherit- ance, building on a firm foundation new patterns for the future. It has been interesting though often difficult to create these patterns, but they are now beginning to gain sig- nificance, and we are proud that it has been our privilege to select the House names, to design the school crest and to choose the school motto, all of which are milestones in our brief history. The creation of a school crest and motto was not a matter to be taken lightly but entailed great thought and effort on our part. As yet, while they are still so new, we may find it difficult to feel the allegiance that is due them. But until such time as our allegiance becomes true and steadfast with the years, they must be protected by each of us, for in them may be found the basis upon which to build our new traditions. In the crest, wisdom is suggested by the four white pillarshand here at Balmoral Hall are opportunities for infinite wisdom and greater understanding. The wavy lines at the base of the crest represent the tranquil flow of the storied Assiniboine on whose banks we live and in whose beauty we may ever find peace. The eagle, flying high in the crest, symbol of fortitude and power, will always inspire us to aim high, challenge us to be firm in our convictions, and to be satisfied only as we move ever onward and upward Seeking Better Things-Meliora Petens!
