As you must realize, the pub¬ lication of the year book would not have been possible without the co-operation, patience, and hard work of the entire year book staff. The staff, however, has enjoyed working together and is happy if it has been of service to the student body. What of those much used words, co-operation and service? We may have used them loosely in the past, but now we will have occasion to consider their deeper meaning as we go forth to undertake a job or to further our formal education. We have learned that in the suc¬ cessful completion of any school project, thinking of others and mutual understanding are essential. To achieve mutual understanding there must be constant “giving and getting”. It is natural for us to be happy to receive but the spirit of giving and serving must be predominant. Thinking of others . . . helping others . . . is this not the basis of civilization? In an age when hydrogen and atomic bombs threaten to wipe us out completely, we must remember that material possessions do not make up our civilization. The real criterion of a civilized world, as distinct from a barbaric one, is to what extent we are aware of the existence and importance of our neighbours and to what extent our thoughts are directed towards making our world a better place in which to live. As we go forth into this world outside of school, we must not be disillusioned by the fact that many times the spirit of misunderstanding is prevalent in the relationships between individuals as well as in those between nations. We must remember that the failure of the League of Nations was due to too much national thinking rather than inter-national thinking. In place of the League of a past generation we have today, the United Nations Organization, which, as its charter states, is an inter-national organization. The North Atlantic Treaty Organization, in which an attack on any member is considered an attack on all, and the Food and Agriculture Organization, in which sixty-eight countries are enrolled, to name only two of the organiza¬ tions affiliated with the U.N., are examples of present friendly inter-national relationships. The responsibility of maintaining and improving this understanding spirit, is placed on us, the rising generation. The only way in which we may prevent the annihila¬ tion of civilization is by putting into practice those lessons of understanding and willing co-operation lessons learned in school. We cannot readily destroy the animosi¬ ties put into being by the first and second world wars, but we can in our individual lives extend good will to all, regardless of race, color, or creed. Just as a few mole¬ cules bumping against one another set others in motion, so we will perhaps move others who in turn will move still others until all humanity is caught up in the vibra¬ tions against prejudice, misunderstanding, and ir¬ responsibility. We, who are about to enter this confused world thank Mr. Cochrane and the rest of the staff for im¬ pressing upon us the fact that education consists, not only of learning the “three R’s” in school, but also of learning to be responsible international citizens. 3 “We, the peoples of the United Nations, Determined to save succeeding generations From the scourge of war .”

R. J. Cochrane Principal F. C. Grusz, Vice-Principal QJIGNS of spring—pussy willows, the first robin and ' an urgent request for the Foreword. A small group of students guided by Miss Bokof- sky and Mr. Thompson are working at feverish pace “to put the Yearbook to bed” as newspaper men would say. This group of students has given spark and leader¬ ship to a multitude of other people in Junior and Senior High School. So many boys and girls attending weekly planning and organization meetings, contributing to art and literary contests, selling advertising, cudgeling brains and spending brawn—each of you has striven to bring this year’s annual to the highest standard ever. Making a year book is an excellent experience for all of you. Will all students who read the “Foreword” pause for a moment over the word “Standard”? One of the intangible but nevertheless very real goals of education is that every boy and girl develop standards of value that will ensure the greatest service to his fellow man and thus the greatest happiness to himself. Daily work that is the very best you can do; all out play in games and sport, giving everything to win but saving grace for a loss; thought, first for your parents, your teachers, your classmates and then for yourself—these are worthy marks at which to shoot. Graduating students, we hope that Lord Selkirk has helped to equip you with a set of standards that will stand you in good stead wherever you may be. Congratulations to the year-book staff. As ever, we are proud that again the Maroon and Grey has attained a very high standard of excellence. Spectemur agendo—Let us be known by our deeds. R. J. COCHRANE, Principal 4
