Editorial ... The past year has reflected the changing face of the school more than any other. The expansion of the school's buildi11gs and playing facilities has suddenly seemed to rzccelerate. In the six years preceding 1960 the only major constructions were Coldstream and the new science block. The three years following this period saw the construction of a new woodwork wing, new bicycle stand a11d the extension of lawn on to areas previously occupied by tussock and broom. However in the last two years the school has received a new wing to the science block and a ,·emodelled gymnasium, and many other improvements have been made. The building programme is by no means finished for future plans include another wing to the science block and a drained Rugby ground with a new pavilion. Of course this expansion has been reflected in the school roll. In the last five years the number of boys attending the school has risen from 500 to 650. The im portant question now arises as to what effect this comparatively sudden expansion has had upon the elusive quality which is so anxiously guarded in a school like Southland 80_11s' and which, for want of a better title, is called "school spirit." It might be expected that this expansion would lead to something closely re sembling "growing pains." School spirit is a collective emotion which could be placed in the same category as patriotism, and there is a growing tendency today to think that such things as patriotism and relying on the traditions and glories of past .ages are indulgences in emotive irrationalities. This is the age of the birth of internationalism, where the standards of the few are ironed smooth by the standards of the many. How ever the system under which our school is run has been proved by .vears of practical experience and by the number of men who have emerged from it to fill some of the highest positions in the country. 11.n ex-master of the school used to say that the test of a good school was its ability to instantly return to its normal routine after this had been departed from for some reason or other. Our school is just as capable of doi11g this as it was twenty years ago. Education is becoming ever more important m tl1is changing modern world, for it may, in .the future, be the only passport to security. Southland Boys' High School has played its part in providing education and it must expand to keep pace with the increasing demands that the need is making on the supply. . ;• • •,, r ·r 3 PRIZE LIST 1964 The prize-giving ceremony was held on Tues (John Page Memodal Cup): Form IIIA (Capt., day, 8th December, before a very large gathering of S.
