Piano and Theol'Y Thirteen TO THE GRADUATING CLASS "The existence 01' absence of civilization depends in a considerable measure on the goals for which men live OJ' die." 'Today, two main goals are being offered to Lhe youLh of the world. One is Lhe goal of exLreme nationalism, which refuses to recognize the rights of any land but one's own. I'he other is the goal of wealth and material pleasure. Neither of Lhese seem to be adequaLe princillies upon which to buiLd a beL tel' civilization. The forlller brings in ils train a sequence of disastrolls wars and growing hatreds between nations. The lalter places self interest at the core of Life and destroys the spirit of service and co-opcration on which democracy depends. Your Alma Maler hopes that yonr Lraining has filled you Lo be worthwhile citizens of Canada; citizens with developed minds capable of i Ildependen I and cri I ical j udgmcn I, with loleran Land unpl'cj udiccd aLtiLudes, and wiLh a desi"e to follow the leadership of the "~hll1 of Galilee" who lived "thal man might have life [lnt! have il more abundantly."

A greal many enlhusiasts of Canada's Nalional SpoI'l made Ihe Irip to Boissevain with the team and from all accounls, this hockey exclII"sioll was the besl parly of the year. Allhough the best Ihe boys could do w",· 10 tic lloissevain by a 3-3 score, they lefl in Boissevain a spirit of good sportsmanship for which hockey teams of Brandon College have always been noted.
