lffwuaae foam Me Chairman of the Board of Education By the product the School is iudged A school magazine is a unique pro- duct of the institution which sends it torth, but it would be fatal to forget that the essential products of that school are the boys and girls who go from its class- rooms to take their places in the world outside. They, after all, tell the tale of the School's success. And by the product the school is judged. Never forget, therefore, that loyalty to your school goes deeper than a mere senti- mental memory for its associations and traditions, worthy as they may be. Real loyalty consists in so conforming to those high traditions in your present and after school life that they are constantly enhancing the highfplaced credit of your school. ln this edition of The Oracle you have seen fit, Mr. Editor, to devote a section to the graduates of '48. May l therefore take the liberty of congratulating those students who, in a few weeks, will become adventurersnfull of high hopes, endowed with health and possessed of vigor- and will sail away from this port into an uncharted sea. Life itself is a great adventure, but the possessor of a disciplined mind may pass through it with happiness and contentment no matter in what walk he finds himself. lt is not required of every man and woman to be, or to do, something great. Most of us must content ourselves with humble tasks, but let us put our best into the performance and thereby be loyal to ourselves, our school and our country. R. V.

lg 14 Manga from Me fjaincqzaf We are deeply indebted to those who have put forth so much effort in producing another issue of our school magazine. One of the big moments in the past school year was the occasion of the dedication of our Memorial Hammond Organ, and the unveiling of the Bronze Plaque. Once again, we wish to express our appreciation of the wonderful support received from the public in general. The Plaque, bearing its heroic names, will remind generations to come that the Woodstock Collegiate Institute did not falter in time of National stress and need. Already thousands have heard the musical notes of the Organ that will ever memorialize those who made the supreme secrifice. During the past year our school area has been re-adjusted. Every morning a system of buses now brings scores of students from outlying points, A new Suburban School Board has been organized. The harmonious relation between this body and our Board of Education is most striking. l hope this evidence of good-will will ever grow. l hope further that the Woodstock Collegiate will serve as an instrument to bind the peoples of Woodstock and Oxford County together, not only for the good of education, but for the benefit of this community as well.
