Foreword lt was like old times playing a part in the Academic Prizegiving last spring and learning to know the Boys and Masters and Parents of Selwyn House School where my own sons graduated not so long ago. I write these lines at the request of the Headmaster, but they are addressed to any boy who cares to read them. What better motto could there be, for a school, a boy or an educated man, than the word you have written on your crest, Veritas - Truth? But, write it also upon the table of thine heart so that it may go with you through life wherever your path may lead. The boys of Form D have set down in the School Magazine, the careers that they believe they would choose as they look forward to manhood through the haze of the years ahead. Three showed an ambition to enter the field of Medicine. One hoped to be an animal doctor , and added I don't like to see animals get sick and die , another to be ua Doctor and make lots of money Ill, and a third to be 'la Doctor, then I could make sick people better . There is only one good reason to make yourself into a Doctor H the desire to 'lmake sick people better . But there are other ways of serving your fellow man, and fortunately you do not need to make that important choice yet. Wait and you will see more clearly. You may be sure that a special door will open before you in good time. I believe that a young man needs to do his best in study, in sport and in personal worship. If he does that and is patient, a door will open for him and he will move into the iob for which he is best suited. And what is more, he will find the position where he is most needed. But take your watchword with you - Veritas. Seek the truth and be loyal to it. WILDER PENFIELD
