'The gymnasium was packed With fr•ienrg and relatives who came to see these students receive' their diplomas. The gymnasium decorated by the Students council complimented the many beautiful dresses •and handsome suits on parade. The Art Club had a, dis- play of some of their work in the hall, and it, also was adrnired by all. NO doubt, though many of these students who trudged these same halls, for 5 years, saw the school not in its finery but saw the dusty chalk board of math, class or the packed gallery fora basketball game that they would remember. They would 4,19member the 'good times and ffie bad, the' times they .couldn't -wait to get out of high •school and now they wonder where the time ' went. Maybe even the old saying "absence makes the heart grow fonder" might apply to our old SDHS. Maybe those classes spent in the dull old ttidy room •can be remembered dfilorrenjoyed. So much for reminiscing. The commenpement program itself was opened with a prayer of. invocation led by Rev, M, E. Reuber, Mr. D. J. McDonald extended greetings to the grad.: uates and' audience, from the Huron County Board of Educat- ion. Next was the presentation of awards. Mr .

Mr. D.J. McDonald presented the This eventful evening will no doubt bring a mixture of emotional feelings. As we anx- iously desire the challenge of the 'years ahead, we are aware of the fact that our childhood days have quickly become spent and we must adjust our ,attitudes and behav- iour accordingly. We cannot, relive the past - it is impossible to turn back the clock. The future alone Is ours. Every new year, people all over the world think of what they want the next If months to bring them. So too, on this graduation day, our thoughts turn to wishful thinking of what lies ahead In our new year. It is not an easy thing -to, make up ' our mindt 'definitely about what to choose out of life's many opportunities but we are not going to get good 'snapshots by aiming at the landscape gen- erally. The hope of success 'lies in personal satisfaction. A person without a plan is a mere drifter. .0 We are living in a wonder- ful era. • ,Never have the opportunities for 'success been better yet never have there been so many pitfalls and obstacles irt" the path of any generation. This' only gives us a chance to show what we are made of.. We must not shrink from our responsibilities. 1ny- one who- wants success badly enough, will work hard enough to achieve.it. Youth of to-day have .a very special role to play in the growth and development of our country. Our forefathers toiled under un- told hardship, leaving us a heri- tage of which we can be proud. we must continue to play a worth- while part in this land where' love and freedom will always flourish. We are privileged to have so many opportunities - those which our ancestors knew nothing of. " Schools of• knowledge are pre-. valent all over, waiting for us to open their doors. The chal- lenge is great but we can meet it if we have courage and per- seve12e in our pursuit of hap- piness through education. Life is a continual schOt1 of learning and without the guid- ing hands of our parents for so many years, we would not have come to realize the joys of grad- uation to-night. Many times w,hen school seemed nothing but mono- tony, a friendly word of encour- agethent from our parents put us back on the right track. To— night, we 'say mahy thanks for your guidance. To our teachers who like- wise guided our faltering foot- steps to this climatic evening - a special thanks. • • Cross country Saturday, at Brant, Conser- vation Park, the Seaforth Junior Girls' Cross Country team came up with an Out standing, effort.
