FOREWORD | Standing as it were on the threshold of an open door, q we have a rare opportunity to survey both things past and - things to come. The years spread ahead of us complex and confused; what may lie over the horizon arouses some un- 0 certainty as to whether our abilities are equal to dealing with the problems shaping up: how to cope with democratic crises, both national and international, how to release the vast reserves of the spirit and intellect. Whatever resources we shall have available with which to serve the all-important future, they certainly have been built up by the variety and quality of past experiences, largely those of our school years. Hence the record of 1949 and 1950. May it prove a reminder of a worthwhile training period and serve as an inspiration to a future consecrated to service. (three)
