1 1 his year we have moved into a new I decade. Just what the next few years W will bring for Canada, let alone Branksome, we cannot say for sure. We do know that our students will have many problems, the nature of which will change so rapidly that it is difficult to know how to prepare for the 80 ' s. One temptation might be to have as good a time at school for tomorrow will be tough. Why work hard in class or at home when jobs are scarce? And anyway, what have Keats and Shakespeare or the Greek Civilization to do with earning a living, inflation, nuclear power, pollution or the shortage of food and fuel? Perhaps we worry too much about the relevance of content in our courses. Obviously students must have strong, up-to-date math and science programmes and certainly they must learn about the contemporary world and its problems. But the world is going to demand not only knowledge (most of which will be acquired after graduation anyway), but also many skills: the ability to think quickly and ac- curately, the ability to define problems and work out solutions, the ability to attack new experiences and problems with energy, commitment and tenacity and the imagination to respect and understand others — their individual needs, differences and ways of life. These things can be learned at school. A continuous striving for excellence in everything we undertake, whether it be in the classroom, on the basketball court or in your relationships with other people will best prepare us. High marks or an athletic award will not ensure a bright or satisfying future, but the constant giving of one ' s best will go a long way towards it. 6
