MILESTONE EDITORS C ditoflai The important thing is to pull yourself up by your own hair to turn yourself inside out and see the whole world with fresh eyes from Marat Sade — Peter Weiss A day can hold enough experiences to fill a lifetime of reflection. Yet, adding up three hundred and sixty-five of them often yields nothing more than a rather uninspir- ing blur. Affluence has allowed man more time to read, to explore, to look at his world. Yet, somehow these have gone out of style. Modern living has become a vi- carious experience, a warmed-over blend of television commercials and newspaper-edi- torial opinions. It takes no talent to exist. Most people, in fact, manage it for about seventy years. To live, however, is a different matter. It is to be vibrantly aware of as much as is humanly possible, to learn from life as well as from books. It is surprising how much we see every day and yet do not perceive. We may use a telephone every day of our life without realizing which two letters are missing on the dial. We walk the same way to the same destination each morning for years without noticing more than a few superficial details about our surroundings. Eleven years of schooling end with a diploma and the platitude Life stretches out before you. This is not true. Existence stretches before us; life we must sculpt. Daniel Saykaly Rhona Chad Asst. Ed.

PRESIDENT ' S MESSAGE Behold how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! With so much violence and poverty in the world it is no wonder we have a need for unity. In Canada this year we have experienced togetherness, for we have celebrated our country ' s Centennial. For the first time in many years we Canadians have had something to bring us closer to each other. Festivities included the greatest exhibition of art, architecture and unanimity ever experienced. Not only did we see examples of the lives and customs of other people but we also met the people themselves. Goodwill and brotherhood reigned supreme for those all-too-short months. Our country and her people have very much to be proud of for as far as I am concerned, during this year many of our problems were solved, or if not solved, then lessened. We must strive to find a focal point of interest for every country and perhaps they too will feel the same emotion that surges through the bodies of many a true and loyal Canadian. This, I think, will be our job when we are ready to take the places of our leaders, and we must also strive to keep people together. A student council can be classified only as a small-scale version of all of this for it is our duty to keep the students together and strive for one thing, fulfillment of mind and body. I must sincerely thank my Vice President, David Bloom, for helping me during the year. I must thank Miss Drury and Mr LeRoy for their help. I conclusion, I hope sincerely that next year ' s council will be a success and I also hope that the president will feel the same amount of pride that I have felt as this year ' s president of the Student Council of Saint Laurent High.
