Milburn Oft., Ltd., Toronto, Ont. The Exeter High School mencement exercises were held in the Exeter Opera House on Thursday evening of last week with a large crowd in attendance and the High School students bubbling over with enthusiasm. This is one of the big events in the school year and this year a very excellent program was carried out with Mr. J. G. Stanbury, vice-chairman of the Board of Edu­ cation presiding. Mr. Stanbury de­ livered a very appropriate address, complimenting the scholars and staff on the very excellent work of the past year, and stated that Exeter School stood close to the top in the results for the midsummer examin­ ations. During the program several choruses were sung by the students and the following program was car­ ried out. Saxapone solo by M. Howey, vo­ cal solo K. Strang, piano duett Miss­ es Lindenfield and MacLaren; vio­ lin solo W. Murdock, piano solo H. Creech, banjo solo O. Hamblyn, chorus Misses Penhale, iSheere, Mar­ tin and Stewart; piano solo A. Tie­ man, violin solo G. Cochrane. Principal E. J. Wethey, M.A., pre­ sented diplomas to the following students: Leonard Prang, Muriel D.

Roy Goulding, A.T.C.M. instructor in the public Time does not permit that I should retell the pranks, the trials, and triumphs of our schooldays and aftei’ all they do not need repeating for they have passed on into history and as history are best forgotten. We are all familiar with the con­ spicuous beginning of our school and how it has grown and expanded un­ til it occupies the Important position which it does today. That, too, is history but it is a history just be­ gun for as long as the E. H. S, main­ tains its high standards of efficiency it will continue to grow and expand until it has written its name clear across the scroll of Canadian edu ■’cation. I do not utter that pro­ phecy in boastfulness merely in faith, the faith which only a gradu­ ate can have and I know that the graduates of all time will join in hoping for its fulfilment. Before passing on it is only right that some tribute should be paid to the staff as well as the school for after all they have made the E. H. S. what it is today and were it not for theix’ help and consideration many of us would not be members of this graduating class tonight. Thej’’ are not perfect. What human is? But they did command and receive oui' respect, a respect which soon ripen­ ed into friendship. I know that at times we proved a sore trial but we found them slow to anger and quick to forgive, ready to rejoice in our triumphs and quick to sympathize with our sorrows. No greater tri­ bute than this can I pay them and in their heart of hearts every member of this graduating class tonight has a warm spot for this, our beloved school. ■Beyond a doubt the school year of 1.927-1928 was a great one in school activities. With a total enrollment of over 150 a new spirit of vigour and activity seemed to invade the school. Interest in hockey, athletics and oratory surpassed anything ever dreamed of before. It is true that bad luck seemed to follow in the train of our hockey, team but each of us is certain that undei* better conditions the team would' have gone a long way. In athletics we were more successful and the splendid showing made by our students will long be remembered. It was in ora­ tory however that this school made a name for itself, speech on Paradise,’’ honorable mention at the W.O.S.S.A. finals in London. Herman Gower, speaking on ‘The Future of Canada’ won the Star Oratorical Trophy for the district, bringing, the first cup to this school. It is rumoured that Herman, who has not yet completed his term, intends to try for the W. O.Si.S.A. contest in the near future. We, his friends of the preceeding year, hope that this is true and we wish him a great measure of success in the coming contests. Yes, undoubtedly last year was a great year, a record year, the graduating that record to not even want rather we want ved each succeeding year, our farewell wish and it eag 'iiess that we will follow the old sclic are j absent presen l of this, shall be say farewt is powerles it’s traditioi. Were I abl. hours I could i ry you by repe again our pledge of fidelity. I would that some great peaker, some silver tongued orator, gifted with the speech of ages, might say for me the things that are in my heart. Words fail to express wnat more. I would say to you so once more farewell, to the old school and it’s surroundings. The great mistress, Life, bids us part and it is with deeii regret and genuine .sorrow that we do her bidding. Thus we now go out into life well equipped foi’ the journey, better men and better wo­ men foi* the hours we have spent within these halls, the halls of our beloved Exeter High School. 25 YEARS AGO Qtye IHxclpr euitea-Aduuratt i Established 1873 and 1887 With a splendid “Canada, the Tourists Eugene Howey received eu ------- ----- ----------;......——--------- = STQlSSIZtW Montreal i j is Valedictory BANK OF MONTREAL Established ASSETS and LIABILITIES 31st October, 1928 3 ASSETS Cash on hand $ 93,987,065.12 Deposits with and notes of and cheques on other Banks .......67,346,958.25 Deposit in the Central Gold Reserves 25,000,000.00 Call and Short loans on Bonds, Deben' tures and Stocks..................... .....178,112,255.00 Dominion and Provincial Government Securities .....................................79,704,087.20 Canadian Municipal Securities and British, Foreign and Colonial Public Securities other than Canadian . .26,054,892.93 Railway and other Bonds, Debentures and Stocks .......3,693,024.06 Quick Assets J „$473,898,282,56 Loans and Discounts and other Assets 375,259,014.44 Bank Premises.....................................11,500,000.00 Liabilities of customers under letters of credit (as per contra).....................13,125,226.62 Total Assets . .$873,782,523.62 LIABILITIES TO THE PUBLIC Notes in circulation..................... .....46,967,574.00 Deposits .........733.489^79.93 Letters of credit outstanding . , .13,125,226.62 Other liabilities 17,144,688.33 Total Liabilities to Public . $810,726,663.88 Excess of Assets over Liabilities to Public ..............................$63,055,854.74 § X K Time clay, week follows year. We cannot .stop time’s eddying flight and few would wish to do so even if that were possible. Each year new classes gather a| the Exeter High .School and each year a class leaves its portals forever. On behalf of the graduating class of 1928 I am here to say goodbye, more than goodbye, farewell. Not the sad farewell of death but the joyous farewell of youth going forth to face the world bouyant and una­ fraid; confident in themselves and with the fame and traditions of their school behind them. It is not without a feeling of re­ gret that we go and there comes a tightening of the heart strings as we realize that never again shall we saunter clown these aisles and turn into a familiar room; never again will the campus ring with our joy­ ous laughter. That is gone, all gone. Others have taken our place. One short year and they too will go. Another speaker will take my place here on the platform and another graduating class will have passed out into the world. To every man conies his hour and this ours, our chance to show that we appreciate what the Old School has done for us and to show that appreciation we have gathered together for a last time to unite in saying farewell. From now our paths diverge, some go into the world of business, others to institutions of higher learning and the professions ancl some to fol­ low the banners of adventure around the world. Some will fall by the roadside but others will go on carry­ ing the name and fame of the Exeter High School with them. After all our education is far from finished. In reality, it has but begun. The actual knowledge which we take out into the world is as nothing. The habits of concentration and study which we have acquired, spell the. difference between success and fail­ ure. Wellington once said that the Battle of Waterloo was won on the playing of our won in S. Thus though are forgotten we will not forget, for the paths that seem the dearest are those our feet trod earliest and our school days will long remain green in our memories for they are tile one bond we have in common the one which binds us together the one thing which prevents us from pass­ ing unknown like ships that pass in the night. What friendships have been formed during our years to­ gether, we alone know and how far those friendships may influence our lives no one can tell for after all there are no friends like old friends and friendships which have stood the joys and petty sorrows of our schooldays are the kind which last forever.. unceasing.
