savour the salt RINK IN THE FLEETING MOMENTS of clarity when a commonplace event im- presses you with the infinite possibilities of its existence-when you suddenly perceive its relation to the vast pageant of creation. Do more than this: seek out these momentsg watch for them and grasp them as handfolds to the infinite. Then you might realize the humbleness and the insignificance of your existence and at the same time its infinite effects. Yes, savour the universal import of each incident-for therein lies the salt, the condiment to the banquet of life. school committee HIS YEAR THE scrlool, was BLESSED with a peaceful but active committee. The political stability was remarkable, perhaps a little dangerously so. In the first week thc temporary committee was elected with Ivan Mencik as chairman. The committee then appointed Ed Lowry as secretary, Al Snider as Fire Chief, Terry Sumner as Food mang Conscientious Dave Bullock was Rudy-Man and Ian Hamilton supervised downtown dress, while Bruce Ames and George Benness had to look for their own trouble. After the committee demonstrated its effectiveness on New Boys' Night, the new students joined with the old and returned the same gang to office. At Christmas the same group was returned again. At Easter the order of things was broken by a three-way tie for last place, so we added Ted Helwig and Denny Burton who gave us new blood. NVe are grateful to Mr. Beer for his work in liaison between staff and committee. It seemed like a thankless job but he did it both conscientiously and, par excellence, diplomatically. Ivan, Bruce, George and Terry arranged a chapel service at which they discussed happiness from different points of view. The other four had planned to give a talk but it was one of the many things lost in the lost weekend . The committee made a move to establish a general fund which they could use to cover expenses in the upkeep of the common room, staff-senior club etc., and initiated discussions which improved the dress regulations and wait- ing system. ' The committee, an important part of our school picture, did a good' job. There were few occasions where they could rise to great heights but the day to day tasks were handled effectively and successfully. The quarantine week- end was a challenge for leadership and the committee met the test admirably and helped to convert a rather dismal situation into a reasonably pleasant ex- perience. Eight
