A PERSCDNAL WCDRD NCE AGAIN it is my pleasant duty to insert a short foreword to the record of another year's activities. It is the greater pleasure because the year just closed has been one of the most successful in the recent history of the school. Our entire capacity has been taxed to the utmost during the whole year. With' out casting any reflections on the student bodies of previous years, I think it is a fair statement that the student group of 193936 has been as fine a group as it has ever been our pleasure to have entrusted to our charge. The following pages bear ample record of a year filled with activity, and to creditable successes in a variety of fields. These successes in general activity have been supplemented by a most successful record in the realm of academics, starting with the winning of The Reuben Wells Leonard Scholarship on the examinations of last summer by Richmond Mather and terminating with a most creditable list of recommendations on this year's work in Matriculation courses. These are the more or less tangible records of the year. There are, however, those other evidences of life and growth which are less susceptible to measurement and record but which are undoubtedly the chief reason for the continued existence of the school. Someone has beautifully defined education as The task of releasing the im- prisoned splendourf' In a year that has witnessed much dissillusionment in the world outside, in the areas of economics and politics, we are happy that the flame of idealism and confident hope has burned brightly in our school life. In many and varied ways the imprisoned splendour of life has found opportunity to express itself. For the joy of happy comradeship, shared experiences and an optimistic outf look on the future, we are sincerely grateful. That all these experiences have conf tinued for another year, that formal associations with The Board of Management, with the staff, with old boys and students have become increasingly friendly and personal, is very deeply appreciated. That the finest achievement of the past may but be an incentive to the still finer achievements that the future holds in store, is the very sincere wish of your Headmaster, QM.
