Wffazwaifms RED SL WHITE egswssmsessm Principalis Message HIS feature of a principal,s mes- sage is perhaps a tradition mainly -indeed, its end might possibly be better served by its omission. I feel certain that if the daily work, direc- tion, counsel, and example made evident during four years of co-operation with a group of pupils shall not have enforced this illustration of what the school and the principal think they are aiming at, then assuredly no few last words can be of much availg for their efficacy has already been built ina' or else is wholly discounted as futile. To carry on the tradition, however, I address myself to you, the graduates, MR' F' E- CMMS, Primm with some reflections upon what should rightly be expected of us, who aim to guide the activities of the school. In doing this, I say we, since I am but one of the group working with you. I take it that we should have vitally aided in encouraging, building up, or bringing about certain attitudes, disposition, and temper of real everyday use to you. A few of these I shall indicate. Your attitude should be that of active participation rather than one of passive acceptance, of self -directed effort and not of satisfied reliance upon direction by others 01' by your group or set. Again, we should have helped you in finding and establishing pur- poses of your ow11 or of felt value to yourselves as motives for your work. Have you begun to feel the strength and help of independence, of being conscious of self-direction? And have our efforts been so directed as to help you in this? If so, we have given you something of value. You should have been aided in finding bases for self-appraisal as a part of self -discipline in acquiring a certain questioning or critical atti- tude. This, in turn, implies perception of values. In so far as the school has succeeded in inducing such attitudes and perceptions on your part, it has done well by you. 455
