Mr. Tebbutt received the Sir Ernest Cooper scholarship; a university scholarship; a Domin- ion-Provincial bursary, and a Hur- on County Scholarship, as well as his honour graduation diploma. E. A. Fines, principal of the collegiate, was chairman for the event, which was a distinct change from the customary variety night type of entertainment, and receiv- ed favorable comment from those who attended. The audience, which was made up mostly of parents and friends, felt that it gave added dignity to the importance of the occasion. In his address, Mr, Fines ex- pressed his concern over the num- ber of "fall-outs" from the student body of the school, although it was on a par with that noted in other schools in Ontario. Figures showed that of every 100 entering Grade 9, only 78 go on into Grade 10; only 53 into Grade 11; there are 43 left in Grade 12, and only 21 in Grade 13. Of these, he re- ported only 11 get their honour graduation diploma. Mr. Fines said that most "fall- outs" take place during the school year, as pupils reach the age of 16, or they decide to leave, school to find a job. He advises the par- ents to help by providing a prop- er place for their children to study: they should have .a quiet room, and it should be comfortably warm, with a desk large enough to spread out their books. He urg- ed the parents to take more in- terest in the young people and see that they do their homework. "Any pupil who goes home and says he has no homework is simp- ly trying to fool you. He always has homework." The principal reviewed the diffi- culties the school was facing in the knowledge that in two years enrolment would grow from the present 475 to 600 students, "May- be we'll need sacks along the walls, and hang them up like papooses," he jokingly remarked. John Levis, one time student of CDCI and a member of the board, presented the 80 students receiv- ing intermediate certificates, with their award. He explained that this certificate, inaugurated 15 years ago, was presented upon completion of Grade 10. J. Ross Middleton, staff member, assisted.

He noted also that the cup received by Clayton Groves, the senior boys champion, Was the same one he had received in his student days. His address contributed in a de. lightful way, some words pf vice; most important thing is to learn to live with yourself. Know yourself, Learn to be a joyous per- son. Be expectant and look for a lot in a little. We must reach out to People in other countries, and hold hands with them in fellow- ship, You must learn to like work. Hard work never killed anyone, but worry will. In conclusion, he urged them to learn to make use of "to-day".
