EDITORIAL JT IS A jiad iait that appreciation often conies after its subject no lonfier exists. FrequentU in ilailv lite we realize how ninch we enjoyeil a particular event, or how much we appreciated a certain friendship, only after the event has ended and the friendship gone. On reHectin r, we wish that such times and friends coulil exist aj;ain and think, of what we woukl do to make them even more enjo able ami profitable. The same truth exists on a larfier scale, ami the familiar phrase, Oh! lor the good old days, is not mereU the utterance of one reminiscin{ hut the expression of a feeling that all will have at some time in their lives. It is an emotion that many girls of the graduating class are experiencing now, as they realize that school will no longer stretch ahead after June, and with school, security. This is not meant to impK that tht ' are not looking forward eagerly to the future but merely that the expectancy is tempered with an amount of trepidation and. in many cases, sadness. It is not a light thing to end a part of one s life, and in finishing school we are certainly doing that. Because of the proximity of the finish, every event which takes place becomes more dear, and the fact that this is our last Gym Dem , even this is our last set of school exams , is ever present. It is inevitable that everyone will look back upon her school days and wish that they could still exist, but in some cases this will be more pleasant than in others, depending on what she does while at school. Whether she learns and works to the utmost of her ability, not only in her lessons but in everything she does, will shape her memories and, incidentally, her future. And this is up to each girl individually. Trafalgar is an excellent school with an excellent teaching staff — the opportunities are unlimited. But this is like a framework without a heart, for the school is dedicated to its pupils, and what you will learn depends on y ou and y our ability to appreciate school while it is a now . By doing your best always, you can be sure your memories will be happy ones. [13]
