THE VOYACEUR It would be ungracious for me not to record my personal appre- ciation of the loyal co-operation of my colleagues during my absence a year ago this summer, in particular I wish to extend my thanks to Mr. Rourke and Mr. Beer who carried the major share of the load. My congratulations go to scholarship winners of last year whose names are recorded elsewhere and to the Honour Matriculation class of 1945 which established the finest record in the history of the scho-ol,-9427? passing, and 60? of all candidates receiving first and second class honours. y In conclusion, may I thank the students and the student com- mittee for the successes and the worthy efforts which are recorded in the following pages and the chairman and the Board of Manage- ment without whose confidence and support our work could not continue to prosper. ,Q do at g -mi-' THE TRULY GREAT A silent watcher wondered, as he saw The fiery comet blaze across the skies, How long the flaming mass in glorious show Would trace its radiant path before men's eyes. While many saw the show, but few perceived The underlying moral of the view, For lol the monarch's pow'r doth ebb and flow: His dazzling pomp soon vanishes as dew. The truly great are those who give their lives In humble service for a comrade's need And though the world may never boast their fame, And men may ne'er their contribution heed, Their satisfaction is a deeper one, The inner knowledge of a task well done. G.W. 10

Since the masses of the people are inconstant, full of unruly desires, passionate, and reckless of consequence, they must be fillea' with fears to keep them in order. O-OPERATION, either domestic or international, can not be achieved on a basis of fear. An Inquisition or a Gestapo can preserve order, but history has shown that the order thus maintained is. in itself false and superficial. Beneath the surface the people remain uinconstant, full of unruly desires, passionate, and reckless of consequencev, and sooner or later they rebel, and the horrors of bloodshed and mutiny are unleashed. So too, in international affairs, fear breeds mistrust, which leads to hostility and war. A nation controlling several thousand atomic bombs is feared, and for a short time peace can be upheld because one nation has the whip-hand, but what happens when other nations also learn the deadly secret? Fear grows, more bombs are produced, then more fear gives rise to its natural by-product, hatred-for what you fear you hate-and eventual- ly the world is launched on a war of an entirely new and brutal kind. And what of the young people? The high-school student of today will pay the price for the fear created by the older generation. If the seeds are sown now, we are the cannon fodder of the atomic war. Trust must be instilled rather than fear. Not only must we learn to see the view-point of the other man for nationjg we must learn to accept it as being fully as correct and reasonable as our own. The history books of today are outmoded. With each nation teaching its own nationalistic sentiments, how can internationalisrn be achieved? Every month brings news of the failure of another conference. Demands are made and refused, requests and proposals are rejected, nation versus nation, labour versus management-discouragement for a true peace grows, and the cynics sneer at the foibles of men. Why? Because of fear-fear of growing power, fear for the so-called ulife-linesw of empire, fear of com- munism, fear of capitalism. Has no one a fear of hideous war? lf, indeed, there is a danger from the unruly desires of the masses, it is because of fear, and fear as a measure of control is worthless. Trust, not fear, will bring the eternal peace. -J. HARRISON 12
