From being an in- coherent body of strangers, we were inevitably drawn closer to one another to form friendships which, I hope, shall resist the power of time. Many a time in our later life may we look back on those associations and derive pleasure and an inspiration from them. We owe special gratitude to our principal, Mr. Hall, and the other members of the staff. Although at tithes, we were not a model class, the teachers invariably treated us with kindly consideration, and gave us ad- vice and encouragement.. Besides giv- ing instruction, they opened op new avenues of thought and effort, and showed an interest in each and every one of us. A farewell to the school would not be complete without mentioning Mr. Bower. He Was a fine friend of alt N, A.

This is not only a time of looking back, but a time when we should con- template the future. After passing the successive grades of our High School training, we are now ready to go on to schools of higher learning, to fit our- selves, the young people of today, for the respoesibilities of tomorrow. We are now face to face with new and broader fields of opportunity which we should do well to consider. In this age, which surely promises to be one of the greatest in the developentent of our Canadian nation, we shall be call- ed upon to bear a share of the respott2 sibilities of her prosperity. To the present students of the High School, may I give a word of advice. You will always find the teachers tms derstandingt and willing to help you, if you are Ntereeted, and willing to be helped, A mind open to constructive criticism is one of the best things which a pupil may possess. le this age, you must surely know that with- out an education, you cannot climb far up the ladder of success. Bear in mind always our school motto—"Strength Without Enowledge is of no Avail." And so now, we bid farewell to Winghant High School. But we all smite in expressing to the staff our sin- cere appreciation of all that they have dotit for US in the past five years, and we add our best wishes for their con- tinned prosperity and happiness in the future. May many succeeding classes be blessed -with the same advantages of tuition which we have received. To our fellow students we bid mutual farewell. New scenes and new pursuits now await us and we must part. May we always cherish pleasant memories of orte another and of our experiences during the past five years. May we always strive to live up to the idols inspired Winghant High School, I thank you. BORN MESON*, in Wingham General `Hospital, on Saturday, Decembertö, to Ntr. and M'i'ss .
