But in go-, -.r"to the matter more fuily we find that the' J' jvg"ns'ral average for 1947 is the highest in the Wstory of the school and rates about the hlghest jri the entire. province. 0f the 142 papers w rit- ten. nc, less thon 133 resuited in honors and pass standings or an average of 93 percent plius. These results wlll be acclalmed by the en- tire community and the Board of Education. Great credit rellects upon a splendid staff of teachers and Instructors, and the honor is equally shared by the pupils for lt shows they have mastered the value of work and intel- * Igent application to their studies. This year the students Liave excelied in maintalning the * great tradition of Bowmanville.Hlgh Sehool. But academics by no means interfere ýwith other important fields cf -schooi life. The High * fSchool Rugby Team won the Inter-school, Chanipionshlp lait faîl. The Girls' Juniot Bas- ketball Team represented the district ln To- ronto. Individual students won many prizes. in inter-coileglate and provincial Track 'and F'ield Meets and several boys were on the hockey, team that won the AI-Ontarjo Junior "E"t Championship. Then there are the annual dramnatics se very credltably presented at Commencement. The Cadet Corps once again rated hlghiy ln the f ield deay Inspection. Ail thèse things take Urne, cnergy and enthusiasm. It is the whole. spirit of the school that we wlsh te emphasize In this brief tribute te the final climax of an ôut- standing academic year. Sincere congratu- lations. Names on Cenotaph A Commiunity Obligation Tt is now more than two years since the iecond world ivar concluded. On sèveral c-. .asions we have made editorial comment that steps should be taken to hâve the nomes of the falien in the second world, var inscribed on the Cenotaph together with the nomes. of the battles in wvhich Canadian's se glortoutly sharcd. Tt is altogether fitting that these riame should now be associated wlth those that al- ready grace the Cenotaph as a mrnorial from the first world war. This is- a comrnunity responsibllity. We have noted in press dispatchea that other corn- mrunities have already completed their arrange- ments in this matter. Under the auspiceâ of the Canadian Legiori- somne have proceedeà by wayt of compiling a complote census of aIl who sçrved and ail who gave their livos, The entire scroil is then preserved and the nomes of the fallen inscribed on the war niemoriais. We believe little, If anythlng, ha been. done in this regard in Bowmanville. It la Urne the matter should be pressed. Tt has aise been roted that the Cenotaph has been defaced by the removal cf some cf the lettering. We have becn prone te be too casual in -thingt, of thisý kind. We feel sure that if the Leglon* takes the lcad i getting action thç support cf the catire comrnunlty will be received. The New Industrial Revohition The world is on the threshold cf a new In- dustriai Revolution. The first wvas baseti on man's discovery that maclliieL could serve him. Eut soon he was called tr~ serve the machine and bocamo their slave. Where that happened, the revolution was sotîi-destroying. Its end was economnic break- down and the atomn bomnb. In the new Industrial Revelution people are more important than thlngs. Men regain their freedom., This revolution ia soul-restQring.. It relm"ses the full creativenes cf ail engaged In ndustry. It sets mon free te givo their boit and wîll bulld the world that everyene ls looking for. There is a bigger choice in industry than betmreen free enterprise and state control.. The reai bettie lino is between those whc treat people as a means te à meterlal end and those te whomn the materiel and spiritual needs cf people are the flrst concern. It is between th6îse who fight for1 their ow n ay, whatever the ceat te otheri, .<$> 1 cen be weighed andi ccmpared mith ration books and anyinfractions may leati te court action.
