School Notes
from Oct 1974
by StPetersYork
and when we look back on a school year we like to pick out the events and developments which justify hope and establish faith.
The fears of the experts of 1974 may be well founded, and if so then the hopes we draw from our school year must contribute to the confidence needed to face the future. If we neither ignore the fears nor distrust the hopes we can look ahead as did that most forthright of Englishmen, Oliver Cromwell: `Well;your danger is as you have seen. And truly I am sorry it is so great. But I wish it to cause no despondency: —as truly, I think it will not.'
