Shawnigan Lake School Magazine « EDITORIAL » THE near approach of Christmas once more arouses us to the need of publishing another School Magazine, and hastily we thumb over the pages of past numbers in our effort to use the brains of others rather than trust our own numbed faculties. Shyly inviting our attention, at the top of the Old Boys ' Register, we catch sight of the date 1916, a fact of little significance unless coupled with the number 1937 which stares inexorably at us from the desk calendar. The School has come of age. Our statistician credibly informs us that our elder old boys are now beginning to feel themselves grave and reverend signiors, and that seventy to eighty per cent of the imposing- list on the editorial desk are over twenty-one. We invite our readers to stand with us on the shores of life ' s un- resting sea and scan these two decades of time during which, after their short sojourn at the little port of Shawnigan, so many brave ships have sailed forth to their various destinations scattered all over the world. Most of them, naturally, have come to road in places familiar to us all; others have reached more distant parts of this Empire, while some few show our flag in foreign lands. With all humility, in a world sick for want of leadership, we like to think of each of these places as a centre for the dissemination of all that is Avorth while which these boys have brought with them from the School. We have an inner conviction that this is indeed so. To our younger readers we offer a word of advice. If you are looking forward to a care-free world in which there will be no more examinations and no hard tasks to perform, remember that the cre- ative artist must be the severest critic of his own work, the student his own most searching examiner. To the scientist we would say that the last experiment is the one that counts ; the last analysis must be correct, the last synthesis successful. Remember, too, that your effort should always be directed to the good of your fellowmen and to the Glory of God ; for the soul of man cannot reach its divine stature except by constant striving upwards. To all we wish a very happy Christmas, and a New Year to be faced with gratitude, hope and resolution.
