1 o ~~o~~ ~T_9~~ December, 1953. The pageantry of the Corona tion is now only a memory ; accordin g to the materialists, all the mon ey spent and also a great deal of time h as been wasted. But mos t of us realise wh at a grea t' effect on morale such a display can have. The powers that-be realised with gr eat wisdom tbat the Corporation gave t hem a heaven-sent chance to disperse the torpor which had overcome the nation when it found itself, at the end of a great struggle for existen ce, fa ced with ano ther of even grea ter imm ensity. It is too early yet to deci de whe ther, when seen as an att empt to br eathe new fire into t he Br itish nation, the Corona tion was a success, but at least we can say that it h as given us n ew sta nding in th e ~ es of foreigners. Now we mu st exploit this to our own matcr tal ad vant age. Televlslon , the cinema. an d radi o enabled us an to see a nd h ear our Queen ded icate h erself to the service of her coun try. We all appla ud this oatb, but let us rem ember tbat it Is an path which we all should be willing to swear and to observe. It is little use our leaders devot in g the mselves to t he good of o ur coun try , if we, the citizens and future citizen s, wlll not follow their exa mple. It we requi re not hi n g more during our schooldays than th e ability to make sacrifices an d an a pprecratton of our du ty to wards our fellow-me n, then we h ave learn ed somet hing mor e valuable t o ourselves and the communi ty t han a- ream of Latin verbs. Tl1e school itself is a model com munity, and all of us, from the h eadmaster to the n ewcomer in t he t hird form, must be pr epared to act in Its best interests, altho ugh this may mean that person al sacrtnces are called for . Onl y in this way can the School maintain its pr esen t repu tation. Nor h ave we a du ty only towards our School. Inside t he School itself we have a duty towards our house. The Cock House Cup Is won, not by Individ ual abWty, but by t he Willing n ess of members of a bouse to co-operate in the common cause. Tbe indiVidualis t bas his plac e In Scbool as In the world outside, but h i s val ue is gr eatly lessen ed if he is not prepared to co operate with those around him Hilary and Tens in g conquered Everest, but the y would n ever have approached th e summit if it had n ot been for the efforts of the ot her members of the expe dition , of which they were members. 2 The Briggensian ACKNOWLEDGMENTS We acknowledge with thanks the receipt of the following magazines. with apologies for any accidental om1ss1ons: - The Calstortan.
