Mr. and Mrs. George W. Lloyd MESSAGE FROM THE HEADMISTRESS “. . . All the business of life is to find out what i ou don ' t know by what you do; that’s what I called ' guessing what was on the other side of the hilT” Duke of Wellington (Croker Papers 1885) These lines sum up in a telling way what these four years have meant to you and to those of us who have worked with you. We have been trying to help you find out what you don’t know by what you do. Sometimes in our satisfaction over what J we do, we forget that larger purpose — the revealing to us of what we don’t know. And now, a hillside is immediately ahead — the hillside we have been approaching together. No one of us knows what lies on the other side of the hill, but, as you pass round it, we hope and believe that you carry with you the equipment to meet whatever it may be — high- hearted courage, a sense of values, the love of learning for its own sake, the willingness to try and fail if needs be — and try again. A visitor to the little Scottish Island of Iona talked of her trip to her old gardener when she returned to the mainland. “Ah,” she said, “Iona is a very thin place. There is very little between Iona and the Lord.” This gift we pray may also be yours, a sense of the nearness and reality of God. May you find the land on the other side of the hill a very thin place, and mav vou know that there is very little between the new country which is to be yours and the Lord. Our love goes with you all — gratitude for what we have shared together and a prayer that you will find the other side of the hill a sunny and blessed place in w hich to grow and live. 3
