In fact, I believe that one of the most important ingredients of success — and the one least heard about — is the sense of inner well-being. With it, no matter how modest your achievements in this life, you are a success. That inner well-being comes from a refusal to compromise the standards of behaviour you have set yourself when you are young and full of ideals. It reveals itself in a disposition to love your fellow men, spon- taneously to give the other fellow the benefit of the doubt, to participate enthusiastically in wholesome activities, to respect your body and that precious product called character. Some people manage to become famous or wealthy or both without losing anything of that inner wholeness of spirit. They are the big success; but they are very, very few and they will become increasingly rare as the climate of success becomes more and more hostile to integrity. For every Albert Einstein there are a thousand Lana Turners and James Hoffas. However, to be a small success should be quite enough for us. We cannot affect the measure of luck life grants us, or the amount of talent we are born with, or the quantity of wealth which may come our way. But the amount of our integrity is ours to treasure, never to mortgage to buy either gold or glory. All of which is just a long way of saying what the Bible puts succintly: What is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul? A Special Group Tutorial. 12

Pentland PROVINCIAL EXAMINATIONS While the results in the Departmental Examinations were not quite as good as last year, they were sufficiently high to indicate a sound standard in the School and were, therefore, very encouraging. Again the great majority of the boys passed all their courses, and also a good percentage received very high marks. In fact, the following boys achieved overall averages over 75 per cent and will be receiving Government Bursaries: P. Brierley and C. Pentland in Grade 13, and J. Woodsworth, J. Macdonell, B. Cooper, P. Boyd, G. Foster, D. Phillips, D. Arndt, W. Gooderham, G. Hunger- ford, C. Russ and C. Ross in Grade 12. Whether the examinations for Grade 13 are easier than those for first year university is debatable; in any event, the course content is the same. With this in mind, it may be interesting for parents of boys coming up in the School to realize that the results for our Grade 13 boys were far better than were the results of their contemporaries who left in Grade 12 and did their Grade 13 at U.B.C. or at Victoria College. u
