3oreword Each of us must define friendship in terms of his own relationships and the times in which we live. We, the staff of the 1961 Sampler, have tried to capture the significance of friendship here at Fair¬ fax. Our cameras have caught glimpses of self-confidence and embarrassment, of pride and disappointment and shy admir¬ ation. In one smile, you must recognize all smiles; in one moment of success, all such moments. For these are the universal experiences and emotions of adolescence that we share among ourselves; perhaps this fact led Sir William Osier to remark, “In the life of a young man the most es¬ sential thing for happiness is the gift of friendship.” But what begins behind these walls grows meaningless if it does not extend beyond them. Friendship must assume a fresh interpretation if we are to survive in our world of turmoil, ignorance, and poverty. Hungarian youths fought oppres¬ sion with rifles and hand grenades; we must face the forces of intolerance and hatred with honesty, compassionate under¬ standing and courage. If we are content to remain silent while students of other nations are actively expressing their ideals and opinions to the human race, we are not ready to undertake world leadership. 4
