Valedictory Address "Tot in 'vain the distafiee beckons, Forward, forward let "ug range, Let the great world wing fprever Down the tinging grooves of change." • n selves at the close of .our school days at the ,old School th on hool c High ]ill; g e 1 We realize that there will be, for its, no returning toe the familiar class- rooms, for the years of our . High School 'days are gone forever, We have left W.H.oa•, passing the torch on to other hands, and wishing them every success in maintaining the glory of the "red and white" which we have striven so hard to uphold. ,The march, of life is ever on, and no matter how much we should like to linger, we must hasten on with a brief farewell. Out parting has been a mingling 'of joy and sorrow; joy because we are movingt ,something newandun- discovered, oo o,o g discovered, and,we are eager to try our wings in the world opening before. us; sorrow,_for we •are loathe to leave old friends and old familiar places. that have stories attached to them, and to say farewell to the teachers who have been .our, guides along this partof the,road of our`: lives. It seems but yesterday' that we en- tered Wingham High School as fri- ghtened children.' ri-ghtened.children.' We were shy and somewhat bewildered, there were so many people, so few *e knew. More- over, the subjects were strange and new, and the walls` of the school seemed to glare at us coldly. Soon, however, their cold stare change to a smile of warmth and welcome. We learned to feel at home and to know our teachers, and friendships, which may never be broken, began. Then we could imagine that far -distant trine when we should leave school, it would be such a happy occasion, for then we should know so very much, and we should be free. Yet our school days sped by "Hap- py days are wont to go rapidly!" Each year brought with it increasing difficulties in the maze of studies. These difficulties were smoothed ov- er, only to be succeeded by fresh on- es. Now, at last, we have Zeached that time for which we longed in First Form, but it is quite unlike our earl- ier 'expectations. We. have not learn- ed everything; life does not sail on from day to day on calm waters. New difficulties spring up in our work to perplex us. We see that the more we learn, the more we find out there is to learn. What we , as children so fondly imagined, is not true. (We are not .glad to leave school.) Many things have happened; many battles have been lost and many bat- tles won, and now we find ourselves being thrown out into the world, to seek for ourselves, and to make what we can of our lives. Some of us go into the Universities and Normals, and some into business, but, whatever we do, whevere we are, may we "Honour yet the school we knew, the best Schoorof alt" The days we spent in High School will soon be only a happy memory. How pleasant' it will be some day in the future to sit before a glowing fire with "Thoughts of other days around us." We shall see again the faces of old comrades, hear their voices, and enjoy with them again the many hum- orous incidents of our school days. We shall rernem•ber the excitement of the days preceding the Commence- ment and all the preparation it in- volved. We shall discuss again the "Inspection" and "Field Day" and the outstanding games, in which we were either participants or excited onlook- ers. We can never forget the final examinations, and that hurried, des- perate week of stduy. Our thoughts will wander back to our teachers, and the debt we owe to them. It is they who, enduring our evasions and our annoying methods of study, have imparted to es in ad- dition to material knowledge, true ideals and have pointed us to our duty. We can never shake off their influence on our lives. We have have been taught to value the worth of. character, and ndt to measure success in life by money. We have learned to assume responsibility, to overcome difficulty, and to realize that true hap- piness comes in doing one's duty and in serving others. We have learned the lesson of self-discipline which will be so valuable to us in years to come. These are some of the debts which we owe to our school and .our teach- ers. ,We can never hope to repay them. We can only thank them, and those of us who enter the teaching profession, can remember them, and guide and help our pupils as our tea- chers have guided and helped us, We will always remember our prin- cipal, cipal, Mr. Brackenbury, and his ef- ficient manner of governing our school. We have all, at some time or other,gone to him for a "late slip", with an 'inner trembling, for had we really any satisfactory excuse? We were hastily reassured by his kindly senile, and hurried to our room, clutching that precious' little card, We Will remember his good sportsman- ship, #ttry she and to imitate it. We will remember Miss MacGregor in ,her attempt to make us see the values in thestudy of the Classics. We perhaps felt rather dubious at the; said "Classics help us, to understand. People." Sher too by en ours g?ng us to participate in school athletics, help- ed us to realize the truth in Weiling-', ton's famous words "Waterloo was won on the playing fields of Eton.'! We will remember Miss McDonald, as she led us through the labyrinth of mathematics, In future years we will realize their values, too, •and be glad that mathematics trained our minds to think quickly and reason. logically. Miss Hammond, Miss Carson, and', Mr. Bigelow, and their untiring ef- forts to help us in French,' English, • . Physical � Histor y andTraining, wi1L occupy no smaller place in our mem- ories. Who can think of the High, School, either, without remembering our Caretaker, Mr. Bowers, with his twinkling smile, and his, kindly word for anyone in trouble. Itis indeed in difficult times that We are leaving our school's protecting wing; but it has ,been said that the youth is in less danger in such times as these than in times of prosperity: that opposition is a great help to man, for that is what he needs to develop his character.'Therefore, we need not despair; rather, let us be filled with boundless optimism. There have been depressions before, economic and so- cial changes, yet the world has mov- ed up and on, It is from the school children of to -day that the leaders of to -morrow will come. "You who are young, it is you, it is you Who have made the dreams of the world come true." Throughout the ages this has ever proved'the case. We, who have pass- ed through High School, have a better than average chance. Hundreds of girls and boys of our . own age, were taken from school long ago (children who would have been glad to continue there longer). Their opportunities have been few. But we have been fortunate: we have gained our Hon- our Matriculation, which signifies that we have passed certain requirements, and that we are better equipped for facing life than many. We have train- ed our minds bywrestling with math- ematics: and languages. We have had an education. Nor should our ,: education stop when we have left school. There is always much to learn, and we must always be ready to learn more, from our everyday life, from our reading, from our own experiences. Thanks to our school education, we can enjoy studying from books. The vast treas- ures of poetry and prose are at our disposal. So we, the graduating class of 1933, will always hold dear the days pass- ed in Wingham High School; and now, may we face the future, one and all, with An eye of power, a kindly heart, A patient purpose, silent -nursed. E. J. Webster. * * * Another milestone atom theviay bf time, but the time will come when we life has been passeel, and .we, the 'grid- rshail see tile wisdom of her words.
