VALEDICTORY ADDRESS
By George Copeland
Members of the Faculty,-Ladies and
Gentlemen, Fellow Students: When
the curtain rang down on the Friday
evening performance of the 1944 Com-
mencement Exercises, some of you
must have gleefully thought, "Well,
there goes Copeland for the last time.
Thank Heavens." But, by devious
means, I am here again",' and am ask-
king you to try to endure me for the
next 'few minutes, not for my sake,
but in honour of the Graduating Class
of 1945, for which I am the inadequate
voice. The time has come after _five
full, beautiful years to supposedly bid
farewell to a part of our lives. But a
Valedictory is only the pielude to new
and greater things. It is the beginnin g
of a new life for every one of the grad-
uates.
Valedictory AddreSses are traditicri-
ally doeful and sad leavetakings.
Rather than a time for „farewells and
tears though, it should perhaps be the
occasion for joyous and eager anticipa-
tion of things to come. We, who have
studied onward and upward through
the past five years have developed
Such ties with our school that we Can
never say Goodbye, Instead, we len g-
then and strengthen those ties as we
move along the Highway of Life,
In preparin g an address such as this,
the thoughts of any one of us would
have drifted back through the years.

The Class will well reme mber those
first frightening days at High School,
and how we dreaded the approaching
initiation which was staged by those
terrifyingly adult Upper School people.
We discovered though, that these
"monsters" weren't bad at all, In fact,
through the corning weeks they -gain-
ed our admiration and respect
Through Grades X, XI, and. XII we
progressed, each year becoming just
a little fuller of human enjoyment .and
satisfaction than the previous one.
Each successive year brought with it
new school activities and associations,
until at last, after four unbelievably
short years, we beca me those same
people who so short a time ago seemed
like monsters. Every member of every
graduating class will undoubtedly ver-
ify this fact, that Grade XIII was by
far the best of the five, Those of you
who are approachin g Upper School
can look forward to some grand exper-
iences. Look for a moment at th e Up-
per School of this year, th ey are as
fine a group of youn g men and women
as on e could find anywhere. And here
is a thought for Grade IX and the
other junior grades. If you have little
problems whether they be scholastic or
social for some reason or another you
hesitate to lay before fully grown
people, present them to your favorite
Upperclassman. He will give you his
sympathetic understanding and atten-
tion, and in all probability can help you
find a solution. These things I know
to be true; why don't you find out for
yourselves
As we glance. back over the years,
we would also remember our erstwhilt
school comrades who have dropped by
the wayside. What of them? Are they
today ably filling good. ositions, or are
they still languishing by that same
wayside? And what of their ties- to
Wingham High? Probably they are
now non-existent, or if present are
very weak. And yet, could anyone
who has ever attend'ed this grand in-
stitution ever forget it? They alone,
who have dropped out can answer
these questions, can draw their own
elusions as to the value of education.
This business of learning is of very
real and deep interest to me, and every
time the opportunity is presented, I
find myself expatiating on its merits, as
those of the school can testify. It is all
too apparent where poor education leads
apparent where poor education leads,
whereas it is equally obvious what op-
portunity is afforded to those of ample
knowledge. This matter is serious. I
am not here to expound on that sub-
ject, but it is with all earnestness that
I urge those of you who are now en-
rolled in this or other schools to con-
tinue your education to the very limit
of your intellectual and economic re-
sources.
Sitting back and watchin g the traffic
on the stage for the first time hi five
years, are the members of the Grad-
uatin g Class. We say, " It is the most
wonderful thing in the world to be
free of all this" and yet I'll bet that
there isn't one of the Class who doesn't
secretly wish that he or she were back
a gain entertaining in the Commence-
ment. Oh yes, we miss the enjoyment
of- preparin g and presentin g the Com-
mencement Exercises, There are other
things that we get "homesick" for too,
plannin g and fun of dances and parties,
the monthly Literary Society Meetin gs,
the brave attethpts at humour with
which the teachers brightened the clas-
ses, and Mr. Bower the halls. But per-
haps most of all, we miss the joyous
associations with pals we have known
all our lives. That is over now, new
friends are bein g made, new associa-
tions forged, but it is heart-warming
for all of us to come back again and
be with the High School Crowd.
The Class of '45 is distinctive in its
numbers who have gone on into higher
learning and responsible positions. Not
one of the Class, to my knowledge, is
today without important responsibili-
ties whether they be in the realm of
learning or of business. To you people,
the Citizens of Wingham, this fact
alone should in some part illustrate the
ever growin g efficiency with which the
Wingham High School is operating.
This distinction of tile Graduating class
is indeed a fitting tribute to those who
have so patiently imparted a part of
their learning to us. The paraphrased
words of Chaucer, "Gladly would they
learn, and gladly teach" seems so ap.
propriate as applied td therii, To all
those who have been in any way assoc-
iated with the functionin g of Wingham
High, goes the everlasting appreciation
of this Class, The past five, wonderful
years have been undoubtedly some of
the best years of our lives, Front the
familiar portals we shall Carry on with
us into this beautiful Canada of outs,
and indeed wherever 'We go, the price-
less arts of Citizenshiti and Good Liv-
log learned therein, As we progress
into our chosen fields of endeavour we
know that the interest of our instruct-
ors and friends will forever follow us.
And yet, as we press on to new hori-
zons, we find that a farewell such as a
Valedictory implies is impossible. We
will not say Goodbye, and vve Stu nev-
er find words to express the gratitude
which swells in our hearts.
I feel free then to elate in the tradi.
tiottal manner of Valedictorians, know.
