And so, as another year at L.S. quickly fades into the past, we look forward with prospect to coming events. Lake waters and the stimulating fragrant pine beckon us invitingly. For those of us who are fortunate to have secured summer employment, the months ahead are anticipated with keen eagerness. We who have graduated proudly view the future with resolute and determinate eyes. However, although we of Lord Selkirk School have neatly tied and tucked away another eventful term in our trunk of memories, from time to time we will no doubt take out these recollections and allow them to pass once more before our eyes. The staff of the Maroon and Grey Annual sincerely hopes that this edition will bring to mind the experiences and accomplishments of 1952-53. We have not only witnessed, but have played an active and important role in the success of this past industrious season. May we continue to take an interest in the affairs around us and participate whole-heartedly in them upon leaving good old L.S. Only by practising democracy can we attain democracy. -Bryan Johnston.

F. C. GRUSZ v FOREWORD Yearbook ' s out! You get your copy and flip through the pages quickly to find that picture of you . It ' s awful! And the other kids! There ' s Jane, where ' s Bill? Oh, there ' s the volleyball team, the Junior High Choir! And so it goes until all the pictures are carefully scanned. In quieter moments perchance you read the chronicle of the year ' s events, the poems and short stories, and some student may even glance at the Foreword. And so, is each of us. The natural instinct centres on self, but self is not enough. At once we reach out for friends, team mates, teachers and the larger community, the whole school. The 1952 53 Maroon and Grey Annual reviews the forty-fourth year in Lord Selkirk history. It tells about your part in a long school story. The following pages recite the details; the Foreword touches the picture as a whole. The cry of victory is a lusty shout born of conquest and jubi¬ lation. In 1952-53 some of Lord Selkirk ' s teams and groups have reached the top with the shout of victory, but others have scaled the heights and missed the pinnacle by ever so little. Call it failure if you will and no paeans of praise sound for him who fails. The ability to meet defeat with good grace, to recognize its place in education, in life ' s experience measures the stature of you, the individual student, and of your school. Charles F. Kettering has said that, One fails forward towards success. What is so flat as easy victory? Well done, Lork Selkirk, for the hard fought contests concluding in both victory and defeat and for the splendid spirit you have shown. Had I but one word to distinguish this year ' s student body I would choose Service . You have worked usefully and effective¬ ly to help the school and to help others not so fortunate as we are. The Junior Red Cross through its groups in Elementary, Junior High, and Senior High departments has worked in the Children ' s Hospital, has aided blind persons and has contributed funds to further work among crippled children. Probably the most valuable undertaking was the self-denial campaign among students who gave up pleasures or spent time and effort to raise money to help Korean children. Another instance of Service is the Lord Selkirk Handbook , compiled by high school students and sponsored by the Senior High School Council. This book, the work of many boys and girls fills a long felt need and provides a service of lasting benefit to the school. Likewise, few indeed are the High School students who have not in some way played a part in producing this pub¬ lication. They too, have performed a creditable service to the school. Graduates, you will be leaving us soon. With you go our sincere wishes for success in the future. It is our earnest hope that, besides facts and figures, Lord Selkirk has taught you some of the great values to be found in Literature, Music and Arts, in the worth of your fellow man and in service to all.
