46 fzcfriofa H EAD MASTEIQ 'S MESSAGE S I observed last year in my communication to the Class of 1945, it has been hard of late for your Head Master to know to whom his message was ad- dressed, or, at least, where his total audience could be found. Some of your class- mates were graduated before your regular Fifth Form year began. Others we chris- tened Alumni and launched upon their various ways last February. There are present among you now certain notorious and questionable characters, Fifth Form- ers in fact, though in defiance of orthodox practice, who will not receive their diplomas till next fall and are really members of the Class of 1947, September Sec- tion. These are trying times! Yet you have always had about you a certain reassurance of impending normality, despite the inconvenience of your comings and goings: for, though some of you have left us at odd times, we could be sure it was not to enter the fighting, that the awful weight of worry for your safety had been lifted from our minds and hearts and those of your parents and other dear ones. That has been a great blessing. Another sign of your normality is that, with one major worry laid away, you have since shown a typical and healthy addiction to worrying about something else, chronically and with extraordinary stamina. More rumors have been hatched among you than could easily be numbered or believed, and the true romanticism of your temperament has been displayed by your disappointment when they were exploded. Sometimes you have preferred to believe the worst. What this signifies I hesitate to conjecture. Members of your Class were recorded prematurely on the list of graduates at the Convocation which opened the school year. Then it was that, among a notable company, Carlos Sanz strode across the chapel platform to clutch the long-coveted diploma. Carlos' entrance to Fifth Form tea in the Alumni Study had always been accompanied by the invariable question, directed squarely at the Head Master, How about that dee-plo-mah? stimulated apparently by the conviction that this challenge, aimed fnot to say hurledj at the proper target, would break down the sinfulness and duplicity of even the most hard-hearted Administration. When the new year opened last September, you followed recent Fifth Form precedent by arranging your affairs sensibly and perceptively. You put in office a competent Council, experienced and versatile. You presided at the re-opening of the Kinnan House and the induction of Mr. Rastede as its Master, and welcomed Mr. Wallace, his successor, into the portion of Upper most conveniently removed from Foundation House. You witnessed, early on, Ed Ettele's leadership of the voice of the people, which lifted from your shoulders the galling yoke of body-building, and you were a little surprised at the ease with which it was accomplished. You will never forget, as I will not, the last-game return of our football cripples to the scene Nine
