DR. RAYMOND C, BROOKS President A YEAR OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS I am grateful to my comrades-teachers, students and workers in various capacities- that they have made possible a year of genuine progress and accomplishment. In a world which often seems to offer the prizes to bigness, noise and show, you have been content to shift the emphasis in Cumnock to Sound Scholarship, Poise, Endurance, and Character. You have accepted the proposition that our first business is the day's work well done in the spirit of genuine comradeship and courageous faith, We have come to believe that the root of excellence is to be found not so much in what we do or in how much we do, but in how we do it. We are sure that life is continually presenting tests to make clear to ourselves and to other people how well furnished are our mindsg how right our attitudesg how just are we in our social relationsg how enduring in our purposes. In all these respects I think this has been a year of accomplishment. I am grateful that you are helping to make Cumnock stand for quality of work and of life. Education is not something we receive, lt is something we achieve. Culture cannot be inherited. It must be won, Life is an adventure. The best life is the adventure in which the best in you answers to the best you can know in the universe outside of you until you can join your fellows in building the kingdom of the common good. RAYMOND C. BROOKS 8
