EdUoud Mr. Waudby was connected with all aspects of our school for many years; his death left a vacant place in the traditions of Ravenscourt. He was a personal symbol of the old School and if any of us had returned years later, he doubtless would have re¬ called our minor misdeeds. Our personal liking for him will make him greatly missed; and his fine teaching abilities must not be neglected. Yet, we feel that Mr. Waudby would not wish for us to greatly disrupt our routine, but only to continue as if he were not absent. Through all indications, by doing so we should have a fine year. But what is meant by a fine year. My experience here has been such that each year seems better and better; and from the small part which has passed, this one seems to be particularly fine. Yet, when with the help of the Eagle” you look upon the time spent here, will it really matter? Blurred in your mind, every year will probably appear the same. Still, it is my hope that this one should stand out. There is a great deal of compromise between the editor’s ideals for the book and what actually appears in the year’s annual. Others spread their fantasies on my scarred desk and appeal to my sense of aesthetic beauty. Though with many regrets these ideas land in the wastebasket. Nonetheless, I thank those here who have taught me a measure of practicality. My personal experience at S.J.R. has not always been happy, and many were the times I longed for escape. From where I look now all the unhappy moments seem to be fading. Those of the happier times remain, fixed for life. Perhaps I am still very young but it seems that this easy carefree life — the bull sessions in the dorms, the breaking in of new masters, the teams on which we played — it’s over, and I am entering an entirely new life. In belief that this school has trained me for that life, I have few fears, only regrets. The boys whom I met and the young men I leave, I will never see again as they are now. This my most bitter regret, for good friends will disappear from mind and hide into seldom recalled memories. . But life goes on, and the editor’s ramblings must cease. For the future editors, I urge them to raise the standards, and for the workers, I can only thank them for the long, weary, but sometimes interesting hours put towards the completion of the Eagle”.
