- The students of -GDCI ' held
a sers'iee of rememarance on
Thursday November 9 to mark
the ending of the 'first great
war.
In his opening remarks Mr.
Stringer said that it was fitting
that the first assembly in the
new gymnatorium be a Remem;.
brance Service. He said the
gym should be a perpetual re.
minder of the freedoms which
we owe to these men who died
in war.
Students taking part in the
service were Lyn Argyle,
&rchie Hunter and Ralph
Moxley.
Mr. Shaw should be thanked
-for- his excellent organization
of the program.

Text cf Valedictory Address
Following is the text of the •
valedictory address given' to
graduates of Goderich District
Collegiate Insti - ' to at the annual
commencement .•xercises in the
school auditorium Friday
evening.
By Carolyn Watters
It is my pleasure to repre.
sent our •graduating class to.
night as we gather here for the
last time in the familiar su .
roupdings of our high schoa.
and our old friends. It is es.
pecially nice to be back at
G.D.C.I. this evening to ap.
preciate the marvels that have
grown out of lastyear's im.
broglio of cement, wires and
workers.
For tonight, the memories of
- our years in this high school
flash back_ubon our minds like
a psychedelic pattern of flash-
ing lights. In retrospect, theme.
bright flashes 'of. those trlIy
memorable moments and ! ' •
ing pictures predominate
screen. I won't enumerate e
"bright :flashes"' 'as it ght
prove embarrassing. .ough
to each of us the ern of
these memories is. :rentand
unique, it •. is in thei.i that we
find --our common bond.
It was here at G.D.C.L, under
the patient guidance • of our
teachers and parents that we
learned the basics of living in
the oscillating'world of today.
We have learned to accept re.
sponsibility, to desire know.
ledge, to think. rather than re.
cite facts, and to apply a cer.
taro •degree of equanimity to
our lives, that is the art of
keeping our cool. Of' these the
most important is the ideal of
thinking as individuals in order
to.couhterset the great surge
to mass production of thought
patterns in our society today.
It is to be hoped that we
have learned -these lessons well,
for tonight marks the end of
this phase and the beginning
of the next. Upon this back.
ground we must paint our future
with as much enthusiasm and
individuality as •we -have shown
in the last five -years..'
We are also an integral part
of Canada's future. As a Cen.
. _tennial graduating class let us
build a Canada that we can°
show the world with pride.
In closing, while wewill never
forget these years spent hdre at
G.D.C.I., we should now turn
'our attention to tomorrow, for
there is more challenge and
more promise. It is for each
of us to strive to attain the
