Should she delve into topics like politics and public administrations? Or should she deal with a much- discussed subject—the atom? After detailed consultation with her colleagues, she decided not to choose any of these themes. This message is primarily for the graduates of 1956. We will be confronted with problems much the same as those faced by our parents in previous years. One of the most significant of these problems concerns peace and war. No one need tell us that war is cruel, disastrous, heartbreaking; we know it. But how can we, the gradua¬ ting classes of today, do anything about it? That is an answer to which only we, ourselves, hold the combina¬ tion. Are we going to stumble up the same blind alleys our predecessors took or are we going to avoid those blind alleys by learning from the mistakes they made? Children who defy each other with words such as “I’m stronger than you. You can’t beat me up,” come to blows; our top rank officials seem to be facing important situa¬ tions in much the same manner. They don’t use meaningless words; they repeatedly threaten each other with atomic bombs, hydrogen destruction, or guided missiles, and they can come to more damaging blows. Does this represent the belief that we intend provoking a war because we have confidence in our strength or does this represent fear of an invasion by the other fellow? I suspect it is more the latter! Does the enemy spread propoganda because he believes in his own strength? No! For either side it is fear of the unknown, distrust of our fellow man and imagination running wild. Through this fear, tension increases, till something gives, and you have it—war and death. Canada, for fear of invasion, is building a northern “dew” line capable of a radar-alert in two hours. If it is at all possible to conceive, would it not appear that Russia is building its “dew” line for the same reason— fear, and not aggression? Have we grown up? Will we be able to call ourselves mature if we create fear? It is more than obvious that this method of “protection” will neither bring peace nor prevent war. “What is the solution?” you ask. Let us not give our adversary a reason for fearing us. Let us understand and tolerate; let us love and not hate, and as in the words of the Good Book, let us do unto our neighbour as we would have him do unto us. It is up to us, the graduates of today, to take the age- old burden of world affairs on our shoulders and bear it with care. We might be the ones to decide the fate of mankind. That’s our challenge—let’s accept it. This annual that you hold in your hands is the result of the “headaches” of your yearbook staff. We have tried to maintain a high standard for the readers. Now our job is over and we can sit back to watch results. As far as your editor is concerned, every minute spent on this book was sheer enjoyment. I think I speak for the remainder of the staff as well. Now let the book speak for itself. DI-ANNE PENNER 3
