Page 4 The Branksome Slogan DEAR GIRLS: The Principal ' s Letter It has never been easy to write a letter to you in December which you are to read in June but your editors always urge me on and I try to co-operate with them in their heavy task. It is especially difficult to write this, my last letter to you, as your Principal, but I shall try to share a few hopes that I have for the student body. I am always encouraged by the great numbers who are in- terested in what seems to me to be worthwhile things. Your emphasis on good sportsmanship, your enthusiasm for the work of the different societies and especially your concern for those less fortunate than you, whether in this city or in far countries, are very important and I hope that those who have tended to be self-centred will grow more broad in outlook the longer they are here. Each June we give a prize for integrity and the girl who receives it is to be congratulated. However, there are many girls who are worthy and I think that it is not too much for us to dream of a day when every single one will deserve to win it. It was the French writer, Moliere, who said, If everyone were clothed with integrity, if every heart were just, frank, kindly, the other virtues would be well-night useless since their chief purpose is to make us bear with patience the injustice of our fellows . You may feel that you try and do not reach the standard you wish. Remember Browning ' s, Ah, but a man ' s reach should exceed his grasp or what ' s a Heaven for? and instead of complaining think of his less well-known lines The common problem, yours and mine, everyone ' s, Is not to fancy what were fair in life Provided it could be — but finding first What may be and how to make it fair up to our means . With Christ as our example, and with His help, we can go farther than we sometimes think. I am finishing forty-one years as teacher and Principal at Branksome. Now I graduate with the Class of 1968. We leave our best wishes to you and ask God ' s blessing on the School and those whom we are leaving as they endeavour to Keep Well the Road
