Headmaster ' s Foreword It is a pleasure for me to write a Foreword to this, the first edition of THE EAGLE, which has risen phoenix-like from the ashes of THE BLACK AND GOLD and THE RAVEN, a fitting symbol of the development of the school. The newborn school is now a healthy baby. It will still have to meet wdth many difficulties, but it comes of healthy parents, and I have no doubt of its power to survive and to flourish. It is quite true that, because of the economic situation, the independent school is facing a difficult future. But because of the world political and social situation I think it is fair to say that at no time has there been a greater need for sound learning and the development of good character based firmly on principles of individual freedom, initiative, and responsibility. St. John’s Ravenscourt School is a place where boys can learn to live these principles and to value them: In our halls is hung Armoury of the invincible Knights of old; We must be free or die, who speak the tongue That Shakespeare spake; the faith and morals hold Which Milton held. The eagle is a traditional symbol of freedom: not a weak and passive freedom, but a soaring, active, and powerful freedom. The eagle of St. John is the symbol of the highest inspiration and conveys the idea of spiritual mission. As this publication sets forth on its first flight, and as the new school continues on its course, so, I trust, will the qualities symbol¬ ized by the eagle become soaring realities in our lives. —J. 0. Turner, Headmaster. EAGLE Three
