8 THE CLARENCIAN 2024-2025Message from the EditorEditorMrs. Mary Philip Malayil Welcome to this special edition that celebrates the completion of Clarence High School%u2019s 110th year!Clarence, this grand old school, like a dream weaver, has woven the gifts, aspirations and passions of generations, while standing as a silent witness and custodian of thoughts and dreams. Many of these stories remain hidden within these sacred walls until students return to tell them. The magazine, therefore, is not just a collection of words and images but the stories of countless lives; each achievement, no matter how small, a thread in our story.As you turn the pages, you will relive moments from Sports Day, world-class debating during Model United Nations, and the recreation of tragic heroes on stage during CLADS. Creative Corner will nudge you to pick up that old paintbrush, and the Creative Writing section will warm your heart.%u201cLife must be understood backward. But it must be lived forward.%u201d %u2014 S%u00f8ren KierkegaardWe continue this journey intentionally, allowing hindsight to refine us.This is the legacy of our founding fathers that we take forward. I thank the indefatigable spirit of our editorial team that made this edition possible. Here%u2019s to the next 110 years%u2014may they be as rich in wisdom as in wonder.Lives of great men all remind usWe can make our lives sublime,And, departing, leave behind usFootprints on the sands of time.%u2014 H.W.
