Perhaps these words from Francis Baeon's famous essay entitled, Of Studies, hit the mark. He said, . . . Natural abilities are like natural plants. that need pruning hy study. VVhile on the subject of studies, it is impossible to refrain from mentioning this privilege which the students of P.C.V.S. enjoy-that of a highly efficient and sympathetic teaching staff, headed by a principal ol' unusual merit. There is the point ol' taking advantage ot' to-day while it is here. Carpe diem, Horace advised. lt is a well known fact that learning is much more easily acquired in youth than at a more advanced age. One verse of Longfellow's poem, The Builders. expresses my thought excellently. Thus it reads: Build to-day. then. strong and sure, With a firm and ample base: .Xnd ascending and secure Shall to-morrow find its place. Un behalf of those who have so recently left the school, I wish to convey to you, the present members. our sincere desire and hope that you will carry on the glory and the reputation of l'.K'.V.S. NVQ- realize what a task and an honour it is to do this. and it is our hope that you will realize and accept your responsibility. To those ot' you who are falling' short in this respect may my remarks serve as an exhortation, to those who are loyalty doing their part. as an appreciation.
