Broadview High School - Beam Yearbook (Broadview, Saskatchewan Canada)

Principal’s Message On the pages of this Yearbook is a photographic and written record of two hundred school days. It is an impressive record; plays, dances, sports. It is an interesting record; hopes, ambitions, pastimes. It is a humerous record: Nicknames, Pet Peeves, Last Wills and Testaments. There is another record of these same two hundred days: The official record of academic achievement. It too is impressive, interesting and humorous. But this message is about a third record; I would call it the Living Record. This Living Record is within each and every one of us. It is not always in focus, as a photograph would more likely be. It is not always as sharply defined as an expressive statement. It is never complete and perfect just as photographs and statements are never that either. But it is real; it is more real than all the other records of the same two hundred days. You will have occasion sooner or later to look back at this Living Record, and, more frequently, people generally will take a look at it — a searching look, a weighing look, a judging look. Will it be impressive? Will it be interesting? Will it be humorous? Because this third record is living, it is also more influential than all the other re¬ cords. It will make you think, feel, and act in a certain way; it will select your way of life. It is not only an image; it is also a standard. Will it be high? Will it be good? Will it be worthy? Again because this third record is living, it is also changeable. What is captured by photographs and statements will never change, but a living record will — for the better or for the worse. This is the distinctive feature of a living human being, and the ob¬ ligation of being human is movement towards betterment. The living record is not only an image, not only a standard; it is also a person in the making. Will the true person grow? Will the false person reform? Will thet wasted years be regained in the making of a person? And what about all of us together? All our Living Records? Community is what the word itself says: the coming together of many to make one. Shall we insist on differences and sacrifice unity? Shall we insist on uniformity and sacrifice variety? Shall we lament the sacrifice of our own insistence? Or, shall the many come together to make one? As you continue on the road of life, year after year, may the living record of every year grow within you to make each succeeding year, in community with others, a satisfying and yet a challenging one. — M- S. HARIRI.
