Strang, head: master, and to his
colleagues Messrs. Moore, IIalls and
Kaiser, our high appreciation of,
and gratitude for their kind and
faithful attention to us during the
past year. Now that the term is
about to close we most heartily say
that our teachers in the past year
have ever manifested a. devoted
interest in our studies ; that they
have been Untiring in seeking to
advance us; that they have been un-
ceasing in their attention. The
University class would especially
extend their most sincere thanks to
Mr. Strang, aud also to Mr. Moore
for the many hours of gratuitous
teaching which they have given
thorn, after regular school hours,
and we all join in hoping that bo-
re long—before the physical body
rfA, have refused to support a too
wt ,(Mind—the authorities will
give another assistant to our head
master. We shall all leave this
school satisfied that whatever may
have beon our own shortcomings,
our teachers have faithfully die -
charged their respective duties, and
that any failure which may be re-
corded after the corning examina-
tion, cannot be attributed to any
neglect of' duty on their cart. 'We
are{proud of being identified with a
scl(ool which .has hitherto main-
tained such a high standing among
similar educational institutions of
the ProvinCe,and which has ex -pupils
in almost every quarter of the globe
who by their high attainments, give'
evidence of; the excellence of the
early training which they received
while in Goderich High School.
We hope for the future success of
that school; and that kind Provid-
ence will long continue to support
its teachers with health and strength
in the performance of their duties.
