YEAR BOOK STAFF EDITORIAL You have eyes with which to see, but you rarely use them. This is a saying which no doubt everyone has heard at some time or other. But unfortunately very few people fol- low it. Most of us live in our own small world, seeing only what immediately concerns us. We go about our daily tasks, and follow our set routine rarely pausing to look beyond our small world. But, when we do, what a lot there is to see! We are happy in our own world, but happier we will be if we learn to get along with other people, and snare in their happiness. Also, Mother Nature has much joy to offer, es- pecially to those who appreciate beauty. The wealth of knowledge which surrounds us will make our lives more interesting if we come to read and learn. Aesthetic pleasure can be derived from literature, music and art. Sometimes we observe things which do not give us joy. Such things are the sufferings and terrible hardships endured by people who are not so fortunate as ourselves. Many do not like to think that such unpleasantness exists, and they shut their eyes to it all. We mustn ' t do this. It is our duty to open our eyes, and to try to help improve the lot of our fellow man. If we look around even harder, we notice the grave political situation of the world. This is something we must not ignore. One cannot procrastinate on this subject. One should read widely to try to understand about politics and world affairs. One should a bo follow government procedures and party politics. When it comes time to vote, one should choose wisely and judge carefully; in other words, exercise one ' s power in the best direction. We Canadians are fortunate people. We live in a magnificent country under very favourable conditions. Few realize this. Instead they grumble about small, petty things. If such people could only see how foolish they are being, and would open their eyes to ob- serve, not only with their eyes, but with their minds, this would be a much better world. — Margaret Cole
