Trafalgar Castle School - Yearbook (Whitby, Ontario Canada)

Page 9 text:

Dear H H H Once again, your yearbook comes to you. It will provide for you memories of your year at Ontario Ladies ' College. It is sometimes only when an experience has reached it ' s close, and it can be seen in retrospect, that we are made aware of it ' s full significance and true proportions. Then the experience has run it ' s full course, and can be seen envisaged as a whole, what Shakespeare calls it ' s idea, it ' s essen- tial meaning and value may stand out with new clarity. The idea of her life shall sweetly creep. Into his study of the imagination; And every lovely organ of her life Shall come apparell ' d in more precious habit, More moving - delicate and full of life Into the eye and prospect of his soul Than when she lived indeed. The word life recurs four times in these last few lines, three times as a noun and once as a verb. My greatest desire for each one of you is that you may find an insatiable zest for life. As you look back upon your year at O.L.C. I hope you may have found at least one true, lasting idea and some essential meaning about life. My own conviction is that there is no real meaning in life and no real value apart from God. I trust you may have experienced His presence here at O.L.C. this year. Affectionately yours, Mary Elizabeth Bone.
