FROM THE HEADMASTER'S STUDY Once again I am proud to write a short introduction to this edition of The Georgian . A decade has passed since that exciting opening day in Septem- ber 1964. Enthusiasm was the keynote of that first year when a small group of dedicated masters, Board of Governors, parents and boys became involved in es- tablishing a school founded on Christian principles and sound learning. Ten years later we can look back with justifiable pride on what has been accomplished. A well-known businessman said recently, lt .is really a Cinderella Story . When I reflect on all of this, the vvord 'gratitude' comes to mind. Boys, we have so much for which to be thankful. You are a privileged group living in the finest country of the world. lVluch is expected of you. While the standards of St. George's are high, much work remains to be done if we are to develop well-rounded students that reflect the type of persons the founders of your school envisaged ten years ago.

Sometimes, older boys chafe at being kept in school because they think that school is not relevant and that the job is the real thing. Always remember that school is, in reality, a part of the job. It is like two steamers filling their tanks for a long voyage. One sails away with her bunkers half-full. She gets a headstart on the other. But the second, by staying in port until her bunkers are full, passes the first in mid-ocean where her oil has given out. Get all the educa- tion you can. No one can take this from you. Be grateful for the traditions, the hard work, the many hours of planning, the gifts of so many people that have made St. George's possible. In closing, I offer my sincere thanks to all those who have assisted in making this yearbook a reality. Your friend and Headmaster, John L. Wright
