Life, the ultimate experience, has one supreme lesson to teach us e to come and try and understand human nature, our own nature as well as other peoples'. I believe this lesson is achieved in steps as we start to learn to communicate with our fellow men. At school we begin to learn about people outside our families both through books, and probably more important, by becoming part of a system. Looking back, I cannot help but realize that many members of the graduating class have been to- gether for six yearsg others joined the school in following years. Still, we have all been part of a special system - a school. Our school is made up of over two hundred component parts, all working together for common goals. By being together, by running up against the same difficulties, by sharing the same wins and losses, each one of us cannot help but learn something about other human beings. But probably more import ant, by being in these situations we have begun to learn to evaluate ourselves more objectively in comparison to others, and thereby have started to learn some of our own limitations. Here in this book, we are showing off our school - inviting others to share with us a panorama of school life. Here we will display our scholars and our athletes. Here are the activities of our clubs, results of our endeavours, and some of our aspirations for the future. Here, these facts are set down, to re-live in years to come. On behalf of the Yearbook Staff, I should like to express my thanks to the staff of the College for their assistance with this book, and particularly to Mr. Manion, whose constant help and encouragement I most gratefully acknowledge. Thank you also to Mrs. McKellar who helped us in many ways, especially by typing our letters. In addition, I should like to thank the parents and friends ofSt. George's who helped financially with the success of this book. Finally, I should like to thank the students, who provided the necessary material for the book. Above all, I should like to wish those connected with future Georgians - the best of luck. .J 11

PREFECT'S REPORT 1970. Discipline has never been an enjoyable thing to endure. but its lasting effects on the individual help to create self control and a sense of responsibility that can be learned no other way. lf during a school career one learns nothing but respect for other people's ideas and properties, they can always be counted as good members of a society. The Prefects of St. George's College have the duty of setting an example for the boys of the College. It is a difficult task and is not always easy to do. Unfortunately there will bc people who will be unsatisfied, but for the majority the task is a guide that is well worth following. Morality in today's society is rapidly changing. and things that seemed proper yesterday. may very well be obsolete tomorrow. Future Prefects should be warned that the position they hold is not simply a privilege, but a duty that affects all those around them. lt is not for the selfish. Timothy R. Laurence Head Prefect 13
