UR SCHOOL was founded, in the words of Donald Ross, To qualify young persons for discharging in the best manner such duties as ordinarily devolve on the female sex . The phrasing may sound slightly ponderous today, but the goal is as sound today as it was seventy-five years ago, and Trafalgar still tries to teach us to live in the best manner possible. Women ' s interests and duties have greatly broadened since Donald Ross said this, but it is equally important to discharge our new duties to the best of our ability. Up until the time we leave school, most of our decisions are made for us; then suddenly we have to decide for ourselves the direction our lives will take, and it is an important and frightening step. The school is trying to prepare us to do what is best, and to continue to do so. Of course no one can learn to do the right thing all the time; but if we try to recognize our responsibilities in life, and act accordingly, we will become adults in the true sense of the word. This year we dedicate the magazine to the School and to all the staff and students who have helped to build up the school traditions which have given so many of us such a good start in life. [13]
