EDITORIAL A good school should give a person two great things: first, it will surround one with a tradition and a standard of behaviour and second, a sense of interdependence and membership one of another. We feel that this statement is very true of Elmwood. We have many traditions which we treasure, among the most important of them our morning prayer service. This begins the day in the proper spirit and teaches us to face any difficulties with courage. Another important activity (although a fairly recent one) is the Annual Charity Public Speaking Contest. From these speeches we learn about the troubles and problems of those less fortunate than ourselves Aside from these charities, we have also adopted a young Chinese child -Yung Sui Sang. He has done a great deal for us, in making us realize the true meaning of gratitude. This little boy is so genuinely thankful for the smallest contribution that we make that we begin to feel a sense of family membership with him - caring about him and hoping he cares about us. Our standard of behaviour is high, although admittedly we do not always live up to it. We do try, however, and the general impression that visitors have of our school is of a happy and well-disciplined group of girls. This is what a good school can offer. The classes are small, so that an enforced, regimented type of discipline is not necessary. We feel that the most valuable type of discipline is self-discipline. All our efforts at Elmwood are directed towards this goal. We hope that everyone will long cherish the traditions which have come to mean ' Elmwood ' ! Best of luck to all! NOTES OF INTEREST It was with regret that we said ' Good-bye ' to Mrs. Olive Mott who was our Matron for a number of years. Congratulations to: Mrs. R. F.
