VALEDICTORY ADDRESS By John Campbell Mr. Chairman, Board, Teachers, Students and Citizens: Every year at the Open Literary it is customary to acknowledge a few words of farewell from those who have left the usual routine of high school study. This time, it is we, the graduated class of 1936, who have completed our studies at the school upon the hill. When we look back over the years spent at high school, it seems only a short time ago since we commenc ed in First Form. At that time, Fifth Form and the day when we should leave high school loomed a long way off in our minds. There were strange faces (some very strange, indeed, on Initiation Day!) there were new stud ies, new teachers, new surroundings; we can all remember Miss McGregor, so eager to extol the merits of the Latin language- there was Miss Mc Donald, who first tried to impress upon our ’ minds the theory of the i Jean Club very “The LOSS AT ’SOUND ELIMINATES LOCALS Birds Try Hard But Lose 8-3; McGee and Rae Star. over elim- from Blue- Choice MeatyPRUNES Fancy KetaSALMON Brunswick Chicken HADQIES MandarinORANGES 3 - 27 Tall □J) Tins al4-oz. fS£Tins .4$ 9 8-oz.

DATED at Toronto, this twenty-third day of January, 1937. the cer- tion that that day for which we so longed back in First Form has not been the happy occasion we had an ticipated, for it draws aside the veil to give us just a glimpse of the more responsible side of life, a life in which we must learn to shift for ourselves, bear our own sorrows and misfor tunes, and avail ourselves of our high school training to the best of our ability. Why have we gone to high school? Some students will say that they go , to High School because their parents absolutely insist; others go with the intention of working their way to higher salaries. Then there are those who go, because, as they say, they must have a secondary education. What is an education. Many defin itions have been set forth, but I think that one which conveys as good a conception as any states that an edu cation is the training of the mind in preparaiton for a full and effective life. It should not be the mere cumulation of knowledge but the quisition of an understanding into philosophy of life. Many people will tell you that sole purpose of an education is to earn a living. Our education cannot be reckoned in dollars and cents or on any monetary basis whatsoever. We see so many graduate from schools and colleges every year, well prepared to serve their respective profession, but there seems to be no openings for them. It is not so much the lack of openings; it is the over crowding of certain ones. There are listed, to-day, some twenty thousand occupations worthy of a high school training. Of course, many of these are not highly remunerative, but one must remember that it was not for this purpose that the old, original Greek and Roman institutions of learning were established. From education we derive four things: knowledge, skill, the power to think for oneself, and lastly and most important, the development of character and personality. One does not need to go to school to acquire knowledge; one need not go to school to acquire skill. However, the envir onment, the social contacts, and the methods of instruction to which one is exposed at high school utmost importance in the ment of character. Our high school teachers en us invaluable assistance, in revealing to us certain, facts, but by gradually teaching us to figure out our own difficulties. Honour Matriculation should not alone signify that we have been able to commit to memory a great many facts, and that we have been able to „ write these down at examination time. It should also imply that we have gained ability to do a little thinking on own part. So our education need not should not end with our school days. There shall always be new things to learn and understand. Our high school training will help us to more fully realize the significance of this understanding. The local high schools are fulfilling a worthy cause in the interests of the community, so may its teachers and students be ever giv en the me. st loyal support. Their work shall always be accorded a suc cess as long as those hours of class- ac- ac- the the is of the develop- have giv- not only the our and IMPORTANT NOTICE ACCOUNTS, NOTES, JUDG MENTS COLLECTED Our collecting department is a re sult of years of successful experience in collecting local or out of town ac counts.

Yes, and one could not forget Mr. Bowers, always the first to arrive at school in the morning and the last to leave at night. Thus, we entered upon a new phase of our lives. As time went on, there ; grew up an intimacy among us as students; new studies created new in terest, not only in our school work, but in the general course of events apart from the school. We saw new students and teachers come, and oth ers go. We came to realize that we were ho longer strangers, but that we were 8 part of the sehool. And so, tvhen it has tome dur turn to bid farewell, it is with the realiza- paration for Field Day, those games played upon the school grounds, all help us to pl^y the greatest game of all—the game of life!

The Wingham boys played a much improved game showing the results of Mt Carroll’s suggestions and took t&e lead early ih the game. Damer A defeat at the hands of the Olym pics at Owen Sound. Friday night, coupled with Walkerton’s win Kincardine on the same night, inated the local Hockey Club this year’s O.H.A. race. The Birds were right in the game for two periods at Owen Sound but the loss of two regular players by injur ies put the damper on the Blues. An old back injury forced Harold Mit chell to retire at the end of the sec ond period, and his brother, Bert, sustained a badly wrenched knee just ’ after the start of the third to render him hors-de-combat. Outstanding for the Carroll men Friday night were the veteran goalie Jack McGee and Murray Rae, Sam made many fine stops, coming out of his net for sensational saves o.n sev eral occasions. Rae was flying all night and was as good as any man on the ice, his second goal being a particularly fine effort. For Owen Sound, Blair, McMeekin and Lamson were perhaps a little better than the rest. The only goal., of the first period went to the Olympics, Couture do ing the trick alone while Bert Mit chell was serving a penalty. Small al so netted for the Sound to start the second bur a Thompson-Rae sortie got that one back. Then with two Greyites and one Huron serving time the Blues got a little over-anxious and Nichol picked up a loose puck to go in unmolested on McGee and the red light lit. Murray Rae got that one back pronto, splitting the Sound de fense and^parking the rubber behind Neath. Two minutes later Brown took a nice pass-out from Cruick shanks and tied up the score. With only a few minutes left in the period Bert Mitchell drew another penalty and in the ensuing scramble a hard shot from the blue line by Blair got by Sam, whose vision was blocked. For five minutes of the third per iod the Blue-Birds dominated the play, and then Bert Mitchell was forced to the dressing room for re pairs. A goal by Nichol forced the Flock to open up and while they did come close they just couldn’t light the lamp. On one play Rae just miss ed his missed Neath period again and also Blair and Lamson as the’ local tried desparately to score. third goal by an inch as he a pass at the goal-mouth with out of position.
