Headmaster ' s Message It seems this annual is not only a chronology of events and an album of photos but also a book of familiar quotations. As I pondered on a greater meaning of learning, I decided I could not do better than repeat the words of William Cory, a master at Eton in 1861. At school you are not engaged so much in acquiring knowledge as in making mental efforts under criticism. A certain amount of knowledge you can indeed with average faculties acquire so as to retain; nor need you regret the hours that you spent on much that is forgotten; for the shadow of lost knowledge at least protects you from many illusions. But you go to a great school not for knowledge so much as for arts and habits; for the habit of attention, for the art of expression, for the art of entertaining quickly into another person ' s thoughts, for the habit of submitting to censure and refutation, for the habit of working out what is possible in a given time, for the habit of regarding minute points with accuracy, for taste, for mental courage and mental soberness. Above all, you go to a great school for self-knowledge. Perhaps some of you can better appreciate the greater relevance of your schooling and wonder less Why do we have to? To the graduate, a splendid and special lot, your school and your families have given you a greater opportunity for the arts and habits referred to. Think on them and use them well as you continue on your journey to self-knowledge. There is so much more to come. Mr. Dixon - Janitor Mrs. Tetrault - Secretary
