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

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

LINES.

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.
