- Vox Fluminis pa incaipal '4 .feilea Dear Girls: This year I am not writing a letter, but I am going to give you a few quota- tions which I hope you will read and consider: Many strokes though with a little axe, Hew down and fell the hardest timber'd oak. I shall pass through this world but onceg therefore any good thing that I may do, or any kindness that I may show, let me do it now, let me not neglect it, as I shall not pass this way again. Remember it is not your position that makes you happy or unhappy, it'S your disposition. Quand on nla pas ce que l'on aime, il faut aimer ce que l'on a. Don't waste time looking at your hill- Climb it! If we notice little pleasures as we notice little pains, If we quite forgot our losses and remembered all our gains, If we looked for people's virtues and their faults refused to see What a comfortable, happy, cheerful place the world would be! Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall. Perhaps the most valuable result of all education is the ability to make your- self do the thing you have to do, when it ought to be done, whether you like it or not. Ad meliora! With best wishes, Yours affectionately, fd

' when planning their futures in the world of today. It is the duty of these graduates and of the remaining students to strive and maintain L'Better Things , by working together to build a firmer foundation for a lasting peace. FTER the most destructive war in History, our school motto, To Better The way to such an attainment can be begun by us, the youth of Riverbend, by fulfilling numerous suggestions evolved by Major Ney to organize and pre- serve an international peace for the future. Being affiliated with Epworth High School in Pietermaritzburg, Natal we, in a small way, are given a golden opportunity for establishing friendly relationships between two countries. During the shadow of the last six years many students from stricken coun- tries deemed it necessary to continue their studies in Canada and the United States. At Riverbend we had representatives from England, India, and the Falkland Islandsg although these girls have departed from us, we feel more confident in understanding the views of other youths and thus of paving a road to a tranquil future. To those girls and to the staff, who have so willingly contributed to our year book, we wish to extend our sincerest thanks. We hope that in years to come you will turn to your Voice of the River , to remind you of your happy life at Riverbend.
