Editorial I T MAY seem strange that a high school annual should bo dedicated to a gen¬ eration even younger than ourselves. Here’s the reason. The world is not yet stabilized. The struggle to reach a level of comfort and freedom which would be agreeable to all still goes on. There have been various attempts to attain that level; the Great War, for instance, and now this second Great War; but none have reached their objective. They have been defeated by over¬ whelming racial hatreds, by greed, and thoughtless imperialism. Our generation has a task to perform, the task of helping to right world affairs so that war will become a thing of the past. Past generations have been destroyed or badly mangled in attempting to do so. No doubt we will suffer the same experience for the next twenty years, not physically perhaps, but in the form of economic crises and unsettled living conditions. Then the time for young Mr. Canada will come. It will be up to him to make the sinews of this Canada swell and strengthen until she reaches the full growth of nationhood. At that time you might reason she will become more like other great nations, ruled by a small group of autocrats—her people regimented into a life of meaningless labour. There are other things that enter into the picture, however, the absence of that ruinous philosophy run rife in older coun¬ tries; “What my father did I must do,” the presence of opportunity and the wonderful feeling it brings. Some people point out the obvious defects in our country, defects which because of their very obviousness can be remedied. “There,” they say, “lies the trouble.” To these people I reply there are worse things than not having as much as the other fellow; there are concentration camps, for instance, and firing squads and swift reprisals for tongues that speak the truth. True, we sometimes become ruffled at our politicians’ faux pas or angry at the new city by-law prohibiting parking, but those things occur in every country, the only difference being that we control the state and can, therefore, remedy the situation by exercising our democratic rights. Surely since they possess such a machine to work with, the destiny of our country rests in the hands of the whole coming generation and not in the hands of a favored few. That is why we have dedicated this book to them, for they hold the destiny of this land in their hands; they are the all powerful and must use their power rightly. To conclude briefly, if any one, be he child or elder, ever has the slightest doubt of the goodness of our nation, let him go out among the grandeur of the Rockies or the goldness of the wheat plains and repeat. “There’s something wrong with this country.” 1 guarantee that before the second syllable is uttered he’ll forget his grievances in the joy of being alive and, more important still, of being a Canadian.
