PRlNCIPAL'S LETTER Dear Girls, PRING seems to be a long time coming this yearg snow and ice remain, , and cold winds continue to blowg but no one doubts for a minute but that summer and bright days will eventually come, and will bring back the birds and the flowers - and lilac for our Lilac Tea? I am writing this at a time when to many of us older people the future of the world seems to be shrouded in the dark clouds of uncertainty. Many are worried and are straining every nerve to maintain peace with honour. Perhaps you think that you cannot do anything towards helping to bring the peace and contentment that is so sadly lacking in the world today, - but you can. Before looking further afield we must set our own house in order, and it is there that you can help. You can help by doing your best wherever you may be or whatever you may be doing, and by helping the weaker ones by a kind word, a smile, by acts of unseliishness. The future is yours. You can make it what you will. The days ahead can be magic days or - just days. They can be stumbling blocks or stepping stones. It all depends on how you use themfl So use them as stepping stones to better and better days. Remember our motto: Ad Melioraf' Yours affectionately, Pu'f7e Four
