S. B. RIEGER Aristotle once asserted, “All men possess by nature a craving for knowledge.” Someone else has said, “The pursuit of knowledge, like the pursuit of righteousness, is part of man’s duty to himself.” Whether you as students desire knowledge because you have a crav¬ ing for it, or because you consider it a duty to yourselves, you will no doubt agree with Solomon who says, “He that refuseth instruc¬ tion despiseth his own soul.” (Proverbs 15:32). No doubt you have discovered, though, that earnest application must go along with the craving before you can gain knowledge. There is an alarming controversy raging at present over the question whether students are attaining the standards which were for¬ merly attained. Here and there pressure is applied to water down courses, to make examinations easier, and so forth. There seem CHAIRMAN’S Message to be so many distractions that tend to side¬ track the students from the goals set for them. One can hardly pick up a periodical or newspaper that does not make reference to this problem. The eyes of the whole nation are focused on the boys and girls in our schools today and the effectiveness of our educational programme will largely be evalu¬ ated in the light of the achievements of the pupils. It is up to you to vindicate your¬ selves and prove to one and all that you possess the substance which will help you to grow to be men and women of whom we can be justly proud. To the members of the school board it is a joy and an encouragement to see students swarming to our schools to pursue their studies eagerly. It makes the task of provid¬ ing the facilities for you much lighter for us. I wish to congratulate you for your effort in preparing another year book. May it bring back to you pleasant memories of your school experiences in the years to come. Chairman of School Board S. B. Rieger PAGE EIGHT
