The primary purpose for which Blue Ridge School has existed for fifty-two years is to pre¬ pare boys for college. During these years it has assumed responsibility not for intellectual de¬ velopment alone, but for physical and spirtual growth as well. Growth, of course may be measured by the rings of a tree trunk, by the buttons on a rattlesnake’s tail, or by the invisi¬ ble processes by which the mind is stretched. By whatever means it takes place, change is inevitably involved. How is one trained for a world in which change is occurring at a rapidly accelerating rate? Certainly not just by the acquisition of an accumulation of knowledge at a time when the volume of knowledge is in¬ creasing more rapidly than the mind can ab¬ sorb it. Emphasis we believe, must be given to those disciplines which influence the de¬ velopment of civilized, articulate, compas¬ sionate individuals prepared to form sound value judgments. Acceptance of responsibility such as that demanded in the preparation of this book contributes to the wholesome kind of growth which the school considers the basis of true education. Mr. Singletary We all learn from our experiences. As the 1966 graduating class leaves Blue Ridge School use what you have learned. Use both the good and the bad, use both what you have learned in and out of the classroom. As you work and learn make everything count toward some¬ thing. If you do your best then what else can you ask of yourself. Mr. Preston 8
