Editorial iz la Milner Cn a glad June day that is new as the Summer, and golden, While the tattered primers and tomes are returned to the shelves, The cars and the cabs throng the quadrangle, ancient and olden, For the Grades go home - and among them the lordlier 4'Twelves.', Has it all been worth-while -- the exile, the dire separation, The Studies that scarcely were Social, the Maths. that were bleak, The formulae now half-forgotten, the vain cerebration, The little Latin Qperchancej and the rather less Greek? Well - perhaps, though theylre scarcely inspired with celestial fire, They have learnt on a road that is rough a behaviour that,s meet - To stand on their own hind legs just a little bit higher, To refrain from callously trampling the next man's feet. And, maybe, the one from the dim, past days will remember How that 'Jussive Subjunctive', the 'GVivat',, was shouted on high C0n a clay that was equally golden in gloomy Decemberj , When, in glory, he scored the decisive and ultimate try.

CRet'd.l SCHOOL NOTES The Headmaster's resignation after twenty-two years in office brings to an end an era marked by progress in all fields and the construction of many new buildings, of which in 1948 the school was in sore need. He is to be succeeded, with effect from lst. August, by Mr. Richard L. Gordon, BA. fAlbertal, lVI.A. fOxon.l, a former Rhodes Scholar and Headmaster of St. John's-Ravenscourt School, Wlinnipeg. This major change must inevitably dwarf all other events of the school year and, as an alternative to the customary School Notes, the Headmasterls Speech Day Report is printed in full. In 1948 this Magazine quoted Tennyson with UThe old order changeth, yielding place to new, and once again this quotation has become apt. Many expressions of goodwill have been received by the Headmaster and Mrs. Timmis from all sec- tions of school life - present Students, Old Boys, Governors, Staff and the educational world of British Columbia outside the School itself, which last indicates how great has been the impact made by the School outside its borders. These tokens -- some of them very practical ones - have been greatly appreciated, and it is sincerely hoped that the same support will be given to the new Headmaster. Fortunately Mr. Gordon is a man of considerable experience, and to him and lVlrs. Gordon a very warm welcome is extended. Mr. and Mrs. Timmis will be living at 4351 Blenkinsop Road, Vic- toria, B.C., where they will hope to receive visits from all members of the school family - past, present and future. Congratulations are due: Qlj To Mrs. McDonough, who, after a quarter-century's devoted service to the School, retired during the last Summer Vacation. She keeps in close touch, and continues to take great interest in the School and the Old Boys. Q25 To Harvey House Teams, for their many victories throughout the year, and especially to Freistadt, for not only winning the Junior Cross Country but nearly catching Logan in the Senior. C35 To a Senior on Sports Day, for mistaking the Headmaster's in- structions for three cheersn, First for three chairs , which he pro- 7
