Seconder was W. L. Craig, Auburn, chair- man of the Goderich District Collegiate Institute Board, Donald W. Scott, inspector of secondary schools comment- ed that "We're pioneering yet.

Southgate, secretary of the Seaforth board was made secretary of the com- mittee. Attending the meeting as ob- servers were Robert Welsh and Mrs. T. Govenlock, of the Huron District Farmers. Union.

Graduation Memebers of the graduating class at Clinton Public School, along with their parents were guests on Tuesday night at 'a graduation party sponsored by the school board and parents. Principal Bert Gray was chair- man for the brief program. George H. Jefferson, former principal of the school was gu- est speaker, and ,talked as much to the parents as to their child- ren. Many of the parents are former pupils of Mr. Jeffer- son. He talked about Gray's Elegy in a Country Churchyard, and quoted from it,then applied the thought there to the cir- cumstances by reminding his adult audience that "we do not know what ambitions and hopes are hidden in these young peo- ple." Them, he 'told the class, "It's all right to have an am- bition, but not much good un- less you make use of it. Re- member that we are triangular: the body, the mind and the spirit." Mr. Jefferson told of a form- er student of his, more than 25 years ago, who sante has be- come a minister in a church seating 1800 people, who re- ports that it was something Mr. Jefferson) once said to a Boy Scout group which made him search for something more than d'evelopme'nt of just body and mind. In closing Mr. Jefferson quo- ted Abou Ben Adem, and did the "Mountain and the Squir- rel," then told the young peo- ple, "Get ,all the education you can get - you can't even dig portholes nowadays without an education." Then he wished them a happy vaeatdon and .a successful life. Valedictorian of the class was Elwin tingswel_l, soh of Mr. and Mrs. Hector Kingswell. (His address accompanies this article.)

(By Elwin IiingswelI) Mr. Chairman, fellow mem- bers of the graduating class, teachers, parents and friends. Nine years ago many of us entered kindergarten in the On- tario Street United Church, and the fallowing year had the hone our of being the first grade 1 students in the new Clinton Public School. For most of us the 8 inter- vening years have passed quick- ly and Pleasantly. We will all remember our trip to Niagara Valls last year, Those of our class who have come from other towns and Cities have soon joined the fellowship of our community, All of us have enjoyed the better .facilities of this school such as the spacious playground the large gyn,nasium and the modern, but sometimes over- crowded classrooms. During this space of time we have gradually increased our lcryowledge in many fields. We now are ,as a brook flowing in- to a 'river and will from now onl follow different paths on the road of life. At this time I would like to pay tribute to the principal and the teachers who have had a paint in preparing us for higher fields, From now on each indiv- idual aim should be to fit him- self to be a good Citizen: rno matter what calling he may choose. We should all keep in mind that labour is honourable whe- ther it be with the brain) or the hands. We know that We will have our share of both week and pleasure art MCI and at times we may feel that the work is :hard, but when we reach success we will know that we have been 'amply repaid. Th.night, While We cannot forget our public Scheel days behind us, We all ansciously Took Merced the unknown fut- tire. Let us rel teiinber that it is not What we get out of life but what we put into it that deterinkee Mair" fined success, CDCI Promotions Following are the promotion results as released from Clinton District Collegiate Institute this morn- ing. Students whose name is followed by (H) have been promoted with an average of 75 percent or bet- ter.
