nnual Commencement Exercises Held Friday At G
"Remember, Your Roots"
Speaker Tells Students
By Kenneth C. Bolton
•
Graduates of Goderich Dis.
trict Collegiate Institute were
told Friday evening there would
be no progresS •-in either cul.
tureeor morals if each genera.
tion did not rebel "against the
shibbeleths of its predeces.
sor."
At the same time, the Rev.
Garwood G. Russell rector of
St. George's Anglican,Church,
advised the students to remem.,
ber their roots, "because it is
rootlessness which leads to
ruthlessness 'in our dealings
with each other."
He was addressing crowd,
of about 800 persons at the an-
nual commencement exercises
in the school auditorium.
"In a small community," the
speaker said, "we Have a chance
to meet each other at the level
of persOnal feeling."
"When you are tempted to
disregard the feelings of some.
one remember the human
vaVes which you have in.
herited."
He listed these values as re.
' spect for law and order, a deep
sense of family ieeling, an ap.
preciation .of religious faith,
basic hoasty, fidelity and open.
ness of heart.
Describini himself as a
* "middle-aged moralist," Mr.
Russell admitted this was not
an age for firm definitions of
experience and feeling, but said
• sale temper of youtt fo"day was
TrpasiNe, suspicious and maybe
frightened." '
He told the students the world
they are entering is "a busy,
feverish, activist society that
doesn't know where it is going,
wishes it did know, suspects
that it does know, and hopes
its guess is wrong?'
He' urged them to test their
response to new experiences
against the human values which
they have 'experienced in their
home surroundings.
°The, brief address wound up
an evening of speeches, pre.
senta.tion of awardsand
musical selections provided by
the new school, band and an
--all-girl gtudent choir. •
Tr program maintained the
enthusiastic note set at the first
when the school band ushered
in the graduates and platform
guests with a spirited rendi.
tion of the with,
"Gaude.
amus igitur."
Greetings were expressed by
the chairman; John H. Stringer
principal of GDCI
In his opening remarks, the
chairman told the graduates
their diplomas, would be the
key to success: .
"But unless you 'can Work
"with others and be considerate
of others," he cautioned them,
."your success will not be as
great, by any means.”--'
He said changes in education
should be welcomed if they en.
larged the capacity of the in.
tellect and the imagination,' and
if they resulted in increased en.
joyment of music, art and con.
SideraCion of others.
Greetings from the GDCI
board were tendered by Ralph
Foster, chairman.
Following .presentation of
graduation diplomas, a choral
interlude was provided by the
choir, under the direction of
Mrs. Hamilton.
