Editorial The year is finished. What we have done in the Way of sport or work is all behind. The examination results are out and some may sing the final t'Nunc Dimittisw or others raise no such excellent paean. Here our ways part. Many and versified are the roads we may take, leading us to places now unknown. But though they may lead us to distant countries, we in our memories will look back to our undergraduate years in old B. C. H. S. There are few. very few. people leaving the old school this year who do not turn and give a reverent and sorrowful salute to the old halls We used to tread and in which we have spent the happiest days of our lives. Perhaps it is because B. C. H. S. is so intimately connefcted with us in our undergraduate days and is so much a product of each one o us. She is indeed a product of our individual characters and that indefinable thing called 'fesprit de coeur is something to which each one of us has contributed an atom one way or another. If We have anything to pride ourselves on in what We have accomplished, and certainly We have, it is certainly not on the successes we have gained in competition with other schoolsg given the all important esprit de corpsi' we should be blameworthy if we failed to obtain them. There is solid ground for pride in the fact that every man of us was working for the welfare of the school first, before himself. And this is what has brought B. C. H. S. to the top of the ladder in school standards. Many people believe that school spirit has been harped about too much in editorials and articles. If they would only realize that Seniors leaving this school are leaving a living part of themselves. They have put blood and fibre into each brick and stick in the school. YYe can't help feeling sorrowful about leaving. May We reserve this last paragraph as a farewell to the old school to which our memories will oft return, memories that will picture true friendships and pleasant experiences. Good-bye old school, and may each succeeding year add more and more to thy store of wealth in academic. social and athletic fields. 6
