events create sadness when one knowledge about oneself.
is leaving and since this last Because modern education
ought to be a happy; has been pressured by this
1 am instead of terrifically changing' world, we
realize we will be pressured to an
even greater degree. So to get
along we . must be master of
these qualities. Hence it has
widened its scope and opened
opportunities to allow us to
grow more fully. .
In my opinion, it is this level,
the second level, that has been
chosen as the stage where stress
has been placed on the
development of personality and
charter as well as academic
growth.
Do not misunderstand me for
I do not credit high school with
being the greatest teacher and
influence on our lives.
It is you the parents who
most influenced us. It is under
your guidance that we learn and
develop -our basic identities as
well as the fundamentals of
getting along with others.
The community an.d
elementary school as a unit
impart general knowledge and
various behaviour patterns. But
to a small child, these influences„
outside the family are relatively,
small bodies, simply because of
the age factor.
High school is an entirely
'different situation, for here,
when subjected to countless
more people .and situations,
because of increasing maturity
we react, learn, participate. We
grow up.
Our peers have realized that
these years are crucial years. For
many of us they have been our
last association with any formal
training and relationship with a
large body of people. •
And so our school life here
reunion
time,
reminiscing, going to talk about
those benefits which we have
acquired during our four and
five years here at GDCI and
which we will take with us to
keep throughout our lives.
We have been most fortunate
to have moved through' school at
this time for, in my opinion,
education, especially at this
level, is at its peak. At no time in
its history has there ' been such
opportunity to partake in so
varied and broadening a
program.
There are basically two things
-that we learn from high school.
The first is knowledge - facts
gained in the fields.of scienees,
languages, literatures and social
sciences as well as skills in
business, home economic and
technical areas. •
All this knowledge is of
course very important to enable
us to earn a' living, to lead an
intelligent life and indeed, to,
basically, survive.
However, the second and
most important lesson' is not
openly emphasized in activities,
nor taught in the classroom. It is ,
so important that without it, all
practical knowledge is useless
and worthless.
That lesson teaches us the
ability to live happily in society
and to adapt to one's
environment.
In the process of this
learning, much more is
absorbed:, knowledge about
responsibility, endurance; on
keeping going, exams; the ability
to use one's ;time

Valedictory address
has been so planned that when
graduation occurs, as tonight,
preparation has been completed.
We should now be able to secure
employment, raise a family or go
on to university or college.
, In the past, school was never
concerned with being the place
to prepare one for life. Rather,
the working doctrines
emphasized simply the
acquisition of facts and until
almost ,exactly 100 years ago
very few received any education.
A hundred years is not so
very long when you consider this
is the 20th century. So I would
like to tell you in a very brief
fashion the rate of progression
to this' stage, and point out how
really advanced our system is!
Early Greek teaching, was, I
suppose you could say, the most
advanced system in comparison
with today's.
There were two kinds, one
similar to that of Sparta with
emphasis on military 'prowess
and the production of men
bearing soldierly qualities. You
can see, this system was fine for
the army men, but few others.
The other type was similar to
that of the Athenian city state.
Their education was designed to
produce not only physically
sound but intellectually alert
individuals.
This was a good education
system but had one flaw in that -
only the wealthy and aristocratic
- were taught. Peasant women
were completely forgotten.
When the Romans swallowed
up the Greek civilization, they
adopted a similar education
system, likewise teaching only
the upper class. A movement
was undertaken to educate the
outer reaches of the Empire, but
it was, of course, destroyed as
the barbarians moved down
from the north, ending the Great
Roman Empire.
We then find ourselves in the
Medieval period or the m4}ddle
period between Rome and
Renaissance.
The barbarians, of course,
almost completely disrupted this
Roman system. But Christianity,
which had taken roots in Rome,
survived and grew so rapidly that
by the middle of the sixth
century it was "the" influence in
Western Europe.
The church developed a new
system . 'of education, based
around . the monasteries, and
even built some universities. Yet
because it was church
controlled, the instruction dealt
mainly with • religion and
co-ordinating subjects. To the
few ordinary peasants, it meant
very little unless they intended
to enter some ecclesiastic order.
The next era, the
Renaissance, the re -birth, saw
little rebirth in education. There
was a desire to combine classical
knowledge with instruction
which would materially rebuild
the world, but really no great
change evolved and no greater
percentage of the population
went to school.
But with one improvement.
The fair sex was recognized and
finally accepted as worthy of
instruction.
Advance or no advance,
everything was shattered when
the Reformation exploded. Both
church and private schools were
in some manner destroyed
during this religious struggle.
Although predominantly
Catholic and Protestant
countries quickly " recovered to
rebuild and • expand their system
- they_ were ' really starting all
over again.
Because of this in the
seventeenth and eighteenth
centuries although more were
receiving the basic and classical
education it was no closer to
the needs of the people who
desired practical instruction such
as agriculture to help them earn
a living.
Moreover, with an increasing
population, the existing schools
and facilities became more and
more inadequate. As a result, it
was an age of great poverty and
illiteracy.
Many educational theories
were presented at this time, one
of which still affects us today: It
had been felt at that time that a
child was basically evil from
birth. Henceforth a 'child was to
be regarded as good. School was
to now play a major role in his
development.
This new outlook led to the
abolishment of a terrifically
harsh disciplinary rule.
We are now up to the
beginning of the 19th century,
and you can see as well as I what
little advancement had been
made.
But this century was to' be
the era of change. For about
1820 a new administrative
change ,was completed. All levels
of education were to henceforth
be under the control of a special
governmental body, compulsory
for all to -a certain age and free
in that no tuition fees were
charged.
Now that the_� ... ub
controlled education, a change
to a broader and more practical
system was necessitated. More
wealth and@r increased
industrialization insisted upon a
closer alignment of teaching to
. the needs of contemporary
society..
These changes were made,
and, tonight) we are graduating 4
from their, end result, from the
broadest and best, I feel,
education system in history.
There are primarily three
groups of people to thank for
giving us the opportunity to
have been part of this learning
process.
'Firstly, our parents. You, the
parents, have in fact been our
first teachers. You have taught
us the basic fundamentals of life
and have been the hidden forces
guiding us along to this point
where we now step out on our
own.
Secondly, our teachers, who
have spent, and still spend many
hours 'attempting to transfer
their knowledge to us. It is they
who by participating, and in
some cases; simply by being
kind, have made school fun.
Often, I think it will be their
various personalities that we first
remember, when looking back.
Finally, Mr. Stringer and the
school board, the ones who keep
everything running smoothly,
and who utilize the resources.
These are the ones who, seeing
change coming, adapt and try
new ideas..
I can honestly say that after
meeting students from other
schools I feel we have been part
pf one of the most progressive
high schools in the area and to
Mr. Stringer goes much of the
credit. All these three groups
united, have in fact given to us
'so much.
I say simply thank you - for
. you know how much we do and
have appreciated what you have
done.
For my class, and myself, I
make my valedictory to GDCI
.and all its happy times.
