ANOTHER school year has edged away. To Riverbenders it mearly means the finishing of one design in a familiar pattern and the be- ginning of another. To the graduating class it means much more. We are leaving behind a life to which we have grown accustomed and we stand now on the threshold of a new experience. In former years the graduates have emerged into a war-torn world. Today, although there is no war, we are going out to face a tottering world peace. School has helped to mold the characters and personalities which we hope will be an aid in the development of a lasting peace. Therefore we owe a great debt of gratitude to Riverbend which has taught us, above all things, the value of co-operation with each other. As we work toward our goal in life we should keep in mind the words of W. Hyde's inspiring verse: Since what we choose is what we are, And what we love we yet shall be, The goal may ever shine afar, The will to win, it makes us free. Vile should also remember that it is not what we do in life, but the way in which we do it, that counts. JUNE BAKER. PREFECTS' GRAD NOTES LORNA MCCARTHYZ Favourite expression-Hasntt got one.
