Head Girl ' s Message During the five years I have been at O.L.C. I ' ve lived with girls from many differ- ent countries, cultures and races. This has proved to be an invaluable asset in learn- ing to understand others both inside the school and outside. By living together we are made aware of different aspects of our character; we can see ourselves as others see us without the artificial coating which is so often contrived for public appearances. O.L.C. has brought many girls together to share a common, sheltering roof and from under that roof have emerged staunch and steadfast friends. These are the girls that have learned to give more of themselves to others than they take. O.L.C. means a time for sharing, a time for living together and for giving together. Compliments of CANADIAN TIRE STORE, Sudbury.

Dean ' s Message Dear Students, This Spring a book of Essays (borrowed from the Library two years ago!) was returned to the School. When 1 looked through it I was intrigued by one title: What a young girl should know . The essayist graduated from Vassar in 1912, so her views may be a bit dated, but it was interesting to learn what she considered the basics of a good education. She listed four essentials: - 1. training for business life. 2. training for domestic life. 3. training for social encounters. 4. training to enjoy one ' s own company. Some of you may feel that this is a very narrow outlook on life, but if the language were changed, these four areas cover all that is necessary to equip anyone for a full life. Most of you will have to work for a living, and education is a part of your training for that. Many of you, especially in Grade XIII, are planning to have an apartment of your own, or are hoping to share with friends, so you will be involved in some kind of domesticity. Apart from a few shy students, you are all looking forward to extending your social life when you leave school, and to be successful you must acquire good manners, and have consideration for others. The writer ' s first three requirements, then, are not so out-of-date after all. What about training to enjoy one ' s own company? Most of us don ' t enjoy being on our own - and loneliness is classed as one of the problems of our society. However, alone-ness need never be loneliness if you have inner resources on which to draw, and these resources are developed by books, by music, by art, by cultivation of what (for want of a better word) we call the spirit - the real YOU. So as you go on to further education, in academics, or a profession, or in technical skills; as you become proficient with a can-opener, or strive for Cordon Bleu perfection in the kitchen; and as you become a useful, integrated member of your community; remember Dag Hammarskjold ' s words: Congenial to other people? It is with yourself That you must live. To all of you who leave O.L.C. this year good wishes for your future success. A happy vacation to all who will be re- turning to join us in September.
