JULIE CRUIKSHANK, VALEDICTORIAN "Must <now Where Goal Posts Are Or It Is Difficult to Play the Game" Mr. Chairman, Honoured Guests, Ladies and Gentlemen, I am very pleased to be here tonight to bring you the vale- dictory address on behalf of the Graduating Class of 1963. Each of you has made a special effort to be here for this occasion and many of you have come a long way. We appreciate yourcon- tinued interest in us. We graduates have many memories of the past fiveyears which we have spent together. It is quite a while since the day we entered Grade IX. On that first day those of us who came from small public schools were overwhelmed by the size of the building. It had all of twenty teachers and twenty-one rooms, and finding our way around was a strenuous task. Since the school now has about forty rooms and a staff of thirty- seven we can certainly sympa- thize with the present first year students. There was quite a difference between the bewil- dered newcomers who came here in 1958 and the jubilant grade-thirteeners who bunny - hopped down the hallowed halls on the final day of school last spring. During the years be- tween, most of our activities have centred around Wingham District High School. Wd shall not forget the good times we have had. We have grown up WARREN HOUSE OPEN MON. TUES. THURS. SAT. 2 TO 6 P.M. RECORD ALBUMS RCA Television Stereo Sales and Service PHONE 3573823 together and have formed friendships which we hope will last a lifetime. While we were here we learned not only from books but also from each other and -from activities such as sports and clubs. In future years; we shall enjoy referring to our old yearbooks and remember- ing our high school days. Tonight we each received a diploma which states that we have successfully graduated. We have all worked hard for these and are proud to accept them. However, we could not have achieved this alone. As we grow older we realize the number of sacrifices which were made by others so that we could have the privileges of higher education. At the time, our appreciation was somewhat .limited, and our attitude to- ward nightly piles of home- work was seldom one of grati- tude. Now as we look back we are grateful to the citizens who have provided us with this fine district high school, and the especially interested group, the Board, who have devoted so much of their time, thought and energy to its management. We are grateful also to the ex- cellent staff of teachers who had the sometimes seemingly thankless job of enlightening our young minds. We realize that they spent many extra hours preparing lessons so that we could have the best possible chance to learn their subjects. There have been changes on the staff while we were here. Tea- chers have moved on and new ones have replaced them, but we remember them all with gratitude. We were the last Grade IX class to start when Mr. Hall was Principal, and we are very pleased to see him with us tonight. We have still another important group to thank. It was our good fortune to have parents who cared enough about us to keep us in school, Thisis something we often take for granted, but we should realize the efforts which were made so that we could get a good start in Life. To all of these people we say, "Thank you". Your interest and concern tnade a great difference in our high school life and we hope that in the future we shall repay, you a little by fulfilling the hopes which you have for us. Perhaps on this special oc- casion we may be allowed to pass on some advice to the un- dergraduates. Since the foot- ball Season is still fresh in our minds, let's talk about football., It is all very well to talk about being a good sport and playing the game, but sootier or later we find out that it is difficult to play the game unless we know where the goal posts are. Plan,. ly fixed goal posts may be har- der to score through than we'd like them to be, but without them the game wouldn't be very interesting. Don't let anyone fool you into thinking you're playing a good game if you are really just running around incir• cies. The goal posts are there. Don't pretend they aren't. They are worth aiming at carefully, and only the struggle of work- ing toward them gives meaning to the whole game. The Class of '63 wishes you good scoring! Tonight is probably the last time our class will all be to- gether. We are choosing a number of different methods of furthering our education, and we realize that there are many possible roads to success, -- not all of them the obvious ones which can be measured by ma- terial gain. We hope that as we invest our lives in our chos- en work we shall prove our- selves worthy of the honour which the school has conferred on us by naming us as her grad- uates. Our school will be judg- ed by us as her graduates and by what we achieve in life. We are proud of her and must make her proud of us. Graduation from high school is a big step but our work is by no means finished and unless we keep right on trying to learn we are not living up to our capabili- ties. From now on we can expect that our way of life will change a great deal. Up to this point, life has been relatively un- complicated for most of us. There has been a set pattern in 'front of us and we have had lit- tle trouble following it. Now we are at a point of transition. Once we get out on our own we may find that life isn't so sim- ple, but it is a real challenge. Our inner resources will be of utmost importance. They will vary from person to person but we must all keep them strong. There are many kinds. William James advised having faith in life. He said, "Do not be afraid of life. Believe that life is worth living and your belief Will help to create the fact." There will be achievements in our lives but. we shall also meet with situations which will be difficult to cope with. The thing that we must remember is that we can always try again. Just falling down doesn't neces- sarily constitute failure. It's when we stay down and give up the fight that we fail. A person is never beaten unless he him- self gives up. A sense of hu- mour can also serve us well. As long as we keep it we can use it to bolster both our courage and our perseverenee. There are many other basic qualitiesworth striving for w- honesty, good Judgement and dependability to Wingham Advance -Times, Thursday, Dee. 12, 963 -- Page 3 BELL LINES. by J. M. Goodwin your telephone manger Year End Calling Anyone seeing the amount of parcels, letters and clads piled up in Post Offices ibis time of year can easily under- stand why the Post Office Department so strengly urges people to "mail early for Christmas," The Bell has a similar problem at Christmas, but no graphic way to show it. From seeing a Long Distance cable, it's impossible to tell that all the circuits in it are being used and that some customers are waiting to get their calls through. Yet, at Ohristmas, this can unfor- tunately happen. The reason is not hard to understand. Long Distance Lines are fully adequate for any normal day, when, in fact, hundreds of thousands of calls (mostly of a business na- ture) are carried. But, at Christmas, a FAMILY pattern of calling emerges alt at once, with the result that a huge number of calls are made between towns that call one another only infrequently throughout the rest of the year. Since Long Distance lines are engineered to carry the regu- lar flow of calls, rather than that for a single day in the year, they are overtaxed, and the congestion leads to delays. Constructing additional lines would be unjustifiably ex- pensive, since they would remain idle from one Christmas to the next. One way to avoid delays is to make a Year End call during the week BETWEEN Christmas and New Year's— an excellent way to combine Christmas love and New Year hopes to those (dose to us. Because Year End casts are spread over a longer period, they do not involve the de- lays that can occur on Christmas itself. And because the spirit of Christmas is still with us, but the rush is over, we have more time to relax and reflect, and grasp again the full personality of those we love. Christmas Suggestion Even if you don't happen to have an extension tele- phone now, I'll bet you'll readily admit that one would cer- tainly be handy. Maybe you've even thought about it wist- fully???? Well now, suppose that this Christmas you find a specially -wrapped extension under your tree. Would you make good use of it? You bet your life you would! Sure it would spoil you, but what a practical way to be spoil- ed! Now how about that special someone? Would their reaction be the same as yours? I mean would they really, :honest-to-goodnessly appreciate your thoughtfulness, and would they remember you every time YOUR extension saved them steps and trouble? Get what I'm getting at? Why not call our Business Office today and talk it over with us? AND FROM ALL OF US HERE AT THE BELL, TO ALL OF YOU AND YOURS, A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND • A HAPPY, HEALTHY AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR. mention only a few. An an- onymous writer has asked for these qualities in his poem: God give me sympathy and sense, And help me keep my courage high. God give me calm and confi- dence And -- please -- a twinkle in my eye. Whatever our inner strengths may be we will continuously draw on them as we face life. We hope that they will be ade- quate for our needs, As we leave our High School tonight may we pause for a moment to wish her long life and success in the expanded ser- vices ervices which she is now prepar- ed to offer. We, the Class of '63, join the long procession of graduates and in departing we salute our Alma Mater, Wing - ham District High School:"Ave atque vale" — Hail and Fare- well. SLEEP WALKER TEAM RACE The players are divided in- to two teams with an equal number in each, and sit on chairs facing each other down the middle of the rootn. There should be sufficient space in which to pass in front and be- hind each row. At the word "Go" the top player of each team has to shut her eyes and feel her way down the inside of her row, go round the end play- er and return by the backs of the chairs to her own place. As soon as she sits down the second player gets up and does the same thing. If a player opens her eyes on the way, she must return to her place and begin again. .A.
