were growing up and would soon
need to be educated beyond
Grade eight. The life at my
grandparents did stress education,
and the joy of reading and learn-
ing. My •mother and one aunt
carried on after finishing high
school to become nurses, two
other aunts became school teach-
ers and one went through business
college.'
I can just recall the fire of
'48 and the chimney sticking up
the side of the building. Grand-
father was distressed by the fire,
gutting the old part of the school,
but was more disturbed when they
ignored his advice on how to re-
move the chimeny. When they
pulled it over, it caused consid-
erably much more damage.'
It was at the time when he-was
originally building the school that
an amusing incident occurred, •
showing my grandfather's quick
intelligence" While working-,here
he misplaced his pipe, and al-
ways thoUght better while smok-
ing it. He called over his dog
"Towser" and sent a note home
with him to grandmother - "send
my pipe'''.• GrandmOther was bu-sy
and did•not want to take it over
herself so stuck it in the dog's
mouth and sent it back. The dog
went back down, the main street,
pipe in mouth, and brought it
here to_Grandfather . jug
he had expected. We all should
be more like Grandfather, and•
examine a• problem for an easy
sOlution. Ofterr the best solution

I really feel that I am repres-
enting.'my late Grandfather who •
played such an important role in
• the establishment Of this•school. •
Mr. Turvill and I first made '•
contact last year., I noticed a: . ,
copy oI~the~'Ripley -Nigh School ``y
Calendar in our Office of Admis-
• signs, borrowed it , and saw the
historical sketch in the front,' •
which mentioned my Grandfath-

My .Grandfather , as you know,
was a builder. His formal educa-
tion was to some extent limited.
He completed grade ten, then
went to work with his father'who
was a carpenter. -However, •he
never .quit reading, studying,- -
observing and learning. He had
Woks on architecture, mechanics,
conStruction techniques and archr
iteeture in his library, and really
gave himself the equivalent of a
University education...He not
only constructed houses, stores,
barns, and schools here, but also
•was involved in contracting , for
bridges in this area. Many of
his structures have stood .the test
of time, It was really.
of accomplishment for him to be
able to drive his old Model A,
which kept running until after
1950, over bridges that he had
engineered and built.
With regard to this school,
which he built in 1913-1914,/
lie counted it as one of his
proudest achievements. • He was
the mo'vingiforce behind the
construction, spurred on, I am
sure , by his six daughters who

keep your brain working and keep
working yourself if there is a
better way or a better material to
use, no matter what the task is.
Often, however, people keep re-
inventing the wheel. A sound
background of education is the
best source of ideas, and being
prejudiced 'I believe that an
,education in Applied Science it
the best.
Following Mr. Dowkes' oration
Carmon Courtney presented this
speaker with an RDHS pen set,
that features the school crest.

scholarship, whthh incidently
was also awarded to, Allan Mic-
Elliott explained that' attending
commencement this year was
different in that now we are the
graduating class. We are the
ones whO have passed through the
gates and ventured into the un-
known. One confronts an entirely
different situation in university
life , but as Elliott.said "Before,
long,'you adapt to this new life
and establishnew friendships.
University, with' its fine and ex-
tensive equipment , :cannot be
belittled."
Commencement night at RDHS
was rounded off by a Musical
presentation consisting of the
approximately eighty male and'
female voices of the school mass
choir. "More!! and "Today" were
voiced by this choir, that consists
of nearly the total school
population. The closing notes
were reverent ones at "The
Lord"s-Pra-yer"-WasTsung,:-folloi,ved
by the school song "Fieri Potest".
The graduates joined in, and
again were -realized as au -integ-
