Editorial THE COLLEGE The years that lie ahead are diffi- cult ones. Our own leaders in the Dominion warn us that we shall be called upon to make increasingly greater sacrifices. The intrepid Prime Minister of embattled Britain, Mr. Churchill, has not tried to paint the clouds over. To the Empire he has said: I never promised anything but blood, tears, toil, and sweat, to which I will add our full share of mistakes, shortcomings and disappointments, and also that this may go on for a very long time . Will our Graduate of this year, of recent years, of the years of the near future, be able to stand up to this trial of courage, this call of sacrifice? The College feels he will. For the College ever motivated by its ideal of a full and Christian education, has always instilled that loyalty, honesty and purity, love of God and of one ' s neighbour are the enduring things of life, that will prevail through raids and bombardments and battles; these are the things that are ever- lastingly right. With a firm grip on these eternal truths the boy, the sol- dier, the statesman, can march into the darkest future unafraid. Man doesn ' t live by bread alone, nor does he fight with guns alone. His spirit must be steeled and armoured with the certainty of the righteousness of his cause. And then he shall be thrice armed, for his cause is just. And therein lies the glory and the worth of a Christian education, that it implants in the mind not only knowledge of the physical universe, but also truths that will sustain him in the dark hour. And holding to these in the task of living and the conflict now upon us, let it rage, let it roar, we shall win through. THE HONOUR PIN The V.C. honour pin is awarded at the e nd of each school year as a mark of honour to those who most truly possess the spirit of Vancouver College. That spirit is best exempli- fied by enthusiastic co-operation in the various activities, participation in sport, close application to studies and by good manners and good conduct at all times. Before a Boy Is Eligible for the V. C. Honour Pin: 1. He must be in attendance at the school for more than one year, unless he is a Senior Matriculant. 2. He must have the approval of the Principal, his teachers, his own classmates and the V. C. Students ' Council. 3. In studies he must have ranked no lower than half way if he is a grammar grade student; no lower than three-quarters way down if a high school student; and he must have passed in all subjects if a matriculant. 4. He must show keen interest in the life of the school by active participation in the various activ- ities, including at least one activ- ity or sport in each term of the school year. 5. He must, by his observance of the school rules, and by his ready compliance with recommenda- tions, indicate that he is really sincere in his effort to become a credit to his home, his school and his Church.
