A Year 0 Uur Lives We have just undergone the experience of another year and have emerged, some to try new and uncharted ground, some to continue in the same path, and some to retread the same leg of the journey. Whichever of these cate- gories contains us, we have derived something from this year, for it has been a year, and a good one at that: two successful stage productions, a triumphant football team, a Foreign Film Society, a sunlit track season, and many other sources of enjoyment have filled it to the brim. lf from a year of our lives we have learned nothing of value to our- selves, we don't know how to recognize the good of the contributions our experience makes to our thinking, this may be a result of cynicism, or failure to try to understand the worth in what goes on around us. In the community life we have shared in this past year we have had ample oppor- tunity to gain from and to contribute to its value and its enjoyment,and we all have, to some degree. lf, however, we let cynicism and a readi- ness to collect injustices serve as an excuse to do enither, we lose much of this value and this enjoyment, and it is nobody's fault but our own. It would be pointless to say this at this time if it were not in review of our experiences that the most important gains can be secured. Let us free ourselves from cynicism and realize that we have learned something about ourselves and about people, whether we have tried or not. We have had a chance to test our abilities, and to improve our capa- bilities, and most of us have taken advantage of these opportunities. It is now up to us to gather and try to understand the worth of these experi- ences and to apply them to our thinking as best we can. In this way this year can become a stepping-stone to maturity and transmit not only not less, but greater the knowledge of ourselves that we have gained from it. Peter Stephens I ight
