Principal' s Message The Orbit, 1957-1958 REV. 1. A. MATTICE No Man is an Island . So wrote John Donne-and Thomas Merton has made the line sound with renewed clarity in our own day. We know its truth- we sense the fact that every moment of our living spins threads that inter-tvvine with the lives of others and the threads of their lives are woven into the many- coloured pattern of the stuff of our lives. There is a sense, though, in which we can twist this line to say Every man lives on an island -each one of us lives within the confines of a social group- perhaps within the limits of several such groups at one time-the class, the school, the family, the parish, to name only a few. Since we are social beings we feel the pressure of the group-the prevailing climate of the island upon which we live. We are inclined to follow the trend and to an extent this is reasonable and good. But trends are not always good and following is not always reasonable. You are being educated and the purpose of education is to produce leaders rather than followers. Leaders , these are the sought-after people in our time. The world needs them, our country needs them, God certainly wills that they be. This then is my message to you. Make use of every opportunity you have to develop your mind, your will, your sensible nature. Try to accept your personal responsibility in the matter of your education. Do all you can to help us in our dangerous task of forming the leaders of the future. Our job will be fraught with far fewer perils if you accept and do your part. Cod Bless you NOW and THEN. 9 n 1 Page Seven
