(rit:idzes Teen -Age Habits,
DrSempleAddresses SDHS Grads
Criticizing the teen-age dating
practice of "going steady," Dr. J
Semple, of Egmondvilfe United
Church, in a graduation: day ad-
dress to students of Seaforth DTs
trict High "School Friday, said the
practice was monotonous and
purposeless.
Speaking to an assembly of
graduating grade 12 and 13 stu-
dents, their parents and the rest
of the student body; Dr. Semple
said teen-agers should not date too
often, nen• should they frequently
date the same person.
Dating should provide a variety
of experience on which 'to draw
when selecting a marriage part-
ner, he said.. "These people who
say, `I've been married 50 years
and never had a word with my
wife,' are either lying or have an
awfully dull time," Dr. Semple
quipped.
He cautioned graduates that a
person should never feel his edu-
cation is finished. "Education can
be dangerous in the wrong hand's,"
said the theologian. "Be careful
of how you put your education to
work. The fear of the Lord is the
beginning of wisdom."
Discussing ways of having "the
time of your life," he rejected
thrills, popularity, 'adventure, rich-
es and romance in favor of "giv-
ing yourself away" in service to
others. .
Graduates were urged not to for-
get the fine arts and humanities
in the futhering of their education.
In his opening remarks, • Dr.
Semple hit at sensationalism In
the press, citing the recent public-
ity given the Rev. E. Leard, first
married woman to be ordained in
the United Church. Although op-
posed to ordination of women into
the ministry, he described Mrs.
Leard as a "brilliant woman" who
was "more intelligent than most
of those opposing her"
Earlier in the program Principal
L. P. Plumsteel said the staff was
"disturbed" about the predomin-
ance of public interest in "mis-
fits" among the school's students.
"They are in such a minority as
to be relatively unimportant"
He urged his audience to talk
about the fine young people in the'
achhol, who had not received the
praise they deserved. The major-
ity of the students he described as
"hard-working" and "conscien-
tious."
Mr. Plumsteel said SDHS was
fortunate to have many scholar-
ships and bursaries for students,
butthere is room for more. The

victory. Shortly after 9
o'clock the Huron picture was
clear, and Mr. McLean phoned Mr.
Cardiff at his Brussels home and
extended congratulations. Later,
the Cardiff parade passed through
Seaforth on a tour of the riding.
Mr, McLean attempted to person-
ally congratulate the winner, but
could not contact him.
