The Wingham Advance-Times, Wednesday, May 18, 1955 Page Fife Lois Thompson Vaied ic torian at High School Commencement The following valedictory address | create from these fundamental truths was given by Lois Thompson at the annual commencement at the Wing­ ham District High School on Friday night. This evening I have the honour of speaking for my class at these com­ mencement or valedictory exercises. At first glance, the two terms applied to this occasion may seem somewhat contradictory, the former, commence­ ment, meaning a beginning, the latter, valedictory meaning farewell; how­ ever, on second thought, we realize that these two terms are quite appro­ priate, as tonight officially marks the end of one phase of our lives, and the beginning of another. Naturally we say farewell with deep regrets, for here we have spent some of the happiest and most forma­ tive years of our lives. Here we have made friends, worked, studied, and struggled through exams together as a class, enjoying at the same time innumerable pranks” which we played on each other. We have learned that a school is more than an institution of learning which we attended 6 hours a day, 5 days a week. It is teachers, students, clubs, rugby and basketball teams, dances. In short, it is a way of life—one to which we must now bid "adieu.” Already our class of 21 has become widely scattered, as indicated by the small number here tonight. Some are studying at university, others at Teachers’ Colleges. Some are already teaching, others are training to be nurses. But all of us, no matter where we are, where we meet, love to reminisce about the "good old days’’ at Wingham District High. Yes, Wingham District High has given us a great opportunity in life— an opportunity for which we should all be 'thankful, especially when we compare ourselves to the millions of less fortunate people throughout the world. Education is rapidly becoming a “must” in every field, and through our studies here, we have learned some of the intricacies of mathematics and science, acquired a basic know­ ledge of French and Latin, and broad­ ened our knowledge of our own language. In addition, we have attain­ ed a fair degree of skill in such fields as home economics, commercial, and shopwork. Our studies in history have given us a broader understand­ ing of world conditions .and problems and our place relative to them. All have given us a sound basis of know­ ledge upon which to build—no matter what “our chosen vacation may be. Yet the school itself would have I been nothing without the principal, teachers, and secreetary who contri­ buted greatly to the efficient adminis­ tration of the school. It was these same people, who by their kind en­ couragement helped us to "stick to it” when the going was rough, espec­ ially during our last year. Indeed, I believe that a great deal of our , success in the departmental exams may be attributed ’ greatly to the personal interest each teacher took in our progress, and to the extra help they so willingly gave us at noon and after four—despite our wasting time in class with our little shenani­ gans. To our teachers therefore, I wish to express heartfelt thanks for everything they did to aid us. More­ over, there are some here tonight; who, like myself, wish to go back even farther and pay tribute to our teachers in the smaller commmunities where >we attended school before be­ coming a part of Wingham school area. And too, I must not forget our par­ ents to whom we owe our greatest debt. Since we first began school some thirteen years ago, they have been a constant source of strength, rejoicing with us in our successes, encouraging us in our failures, and easing the burden in every way possible. Wc all realize how greatly we are indebted to them, and are extremely grateful for the opportun­ ity they are giving us. We shall strive to be worthy of it. But it was not "all work and play,” nor all disappointments and successes. Far from it! Extracur­ ricular activities ranging from rugby to glee club offered all a chance to develop our individual abilities and interests. Rugby and basketball games enabled us to meet students from other schools, some of whom are now studying with us, the Stu­ dents' Council and various clubs offered valuable experience in stu­ dent government leadership. Yes, Wingham District High has given us more than mere "book knowledge.” It has given us something immensely more valuable—experience in living, in thinking, and in co-operating with others. Let us hope that we will use this knowledge and experience wisely in the new life opening up before us. Although most of us have now com­ menced advanced studies, the act of receiving our diplomas tonight has permanently severed our connection with this school as students. Hence­ forth we belong to the alumni—an alumni which cherishes fond memories of Wingham District High and which will always be extremely interested in its old "alma mater,” despite the fact that the present students are studying in this new modern well- equipped building which was only a dream during our high school days. We are now leaving our sheltered homes and passing into a world full of complex problem.^ which will some­ day be ours to solve. The advanced education arid wider experience we arc now acquiring will undoubtedly be useful in solving these problems, but to forgot the basic truths learned and practiced during our high school days would be fatal. The solution to these problems, in fact to all problems, lies somewhere in the vast expanse of fundamental truths regarding human nature. Educaton enables us to recognize and apply those truths. In short, the Ideal of education is to a stable, prosperous, peaceful world, or as Addison has so aptly phrased it, "What a sculptor is to a block of marble, education is to the. human soul,” At December, 1954, there were 1$1,» 674 persons working for the federal government and the monthly payroll . was $44,662,660.
