During his long years of study Dr. Fraser ob- tained the following degrees: 13. A. (University of Toronto), M. A., Ph. D. (University of Iowa), L.L.D, and F. R.S.C. He became interested in marine work early in his career, and while at the University of British Columbia won a. many .honours in this particular field. Because of his research into marine life, he was affectionately nicknamed students and faculty "The Pacific Oy- ster", Before the war he received honours. from the Emperor of Japan for his work in Japanese waters.. Just before Christmas he finished a sixteen month report on Pacific Hydroids, for the Hancock Foundation at ,Los Ang- eles, and commenced another report which is now his unfinished sysek. A recent work is a large volume "Hyd- roids of the Pacific Coats of Canada and the United States, classifying thou- sands of marine plants, and illustrated with line drawings.. Many old friends in this community learned with regret of the passing of our most distinguished scholar. VALEDICTORY ADDRESSi The following is the Valedictory Ad- dress delivered by Milton Brown at the HighSchool Commencement last week. Members of the Faculty, Ladies and Fellow Students: We, the graduating class of '46 are represented here to-night primarily to bid "au revoir" to Wingharn High. It is with a certain feeling of nostalgia that we take our leave of the old build- ing and all that for which it stands. For Wingham Fligh has done more for its students it was more to us than just a school teaching academic sub- jects. It was more to us than a place where we played in sports, and took part in the frivolous activities of nor- mal school life. Not only have we re- ceived a diploma ... but We have truly received an educatibn. It has taught us how to get along With our fellow- man . . . it has given us the principles of self-reliance and discipline . . it has prepared us, in part, for that which we shall face in' the future. Looking back-on our days at Wing- ham High,we cannot help but remem- ber with amusement certain incidents, Nothing will ever erase from our minds the memory of the odour of "rotten egg" gas .escapihg from Mr. Hall's chemistry laboratory. Indeed, with all the innumerable improvements which have come to our school, that "divine scent" has not in the .least been improved. An inward smile will always result from a thought of Mr. mathe- matics period. As we recall his subtle "attempts" at hurhour. True, he did not always succeed in telling a funny joke, true he did not succeed "half of the time in telling a funny joke, but with staunch courage he kept strying. Interesting as his classes may have been, it is with no danger of contra- diction that we assert of Mr. Madill. "No one could have done a better . job on us." This indeed can be said for the whole staff in their relations with the student body. To our teachers, we regrettfirlly must now bid good-bye, and in doing so, we realize that w,e owe to them a great debt of gratitude which we can never repay. For, as we remember their faults, we must also bring to mind their generosity. There were many nights after school they spent vainly trying to insert some gruelling Ldtin or Chemistr:y into our heads, They were more than just teachers, they were and are our friends, and so to you we ex- press our thanks in parting. To each other, we, the students of the .graduating class, must bid good- bye. We, who spent five tortuous years together, am now scattered all across Ontario, following our chosen careers. From the infinite choices within our reach we have chosen a variety of occupations from school teachers to student nurses, as our life's work. We are assembled here to-night to bid a formal farewell for the last tune. But, although we have been glancing at our past High School life,we must not forget that our school has been preparing us for the future. We must not fail to contemplate the trials and tribulations of this future. The world into which we are graduating is a changing woeldof great prospects and great pitfalls. • This worrd can never stand still. It must either retrogress progress. The world can slip back, tliis fate is not entirely in the realm of the impossible . . , far from it. We can go back to the hungry thirties. We can have the youth of the nation riding the rails once more from the Atlantic to the Pacific vainly seek- ing work. This nation` can produce an embittered and .defiant youth, Our civilization can decline, it can perish as Rome did in ancient times. There is, .however,,,the happier side to the picture. Just as the world can fall, SO can it progress, by following the ideas envisaged by such men as Mr. Roosevelt and his four freedoms. The world can progress by arranging our economic life such that all men have securityand a decent job one, which will give them all the necessities and .some of the luxuries of life, As a primary step towards this all- important goal, the world can give to its youth the opportunity of advanced education. Wingham High has guided us . well along the Path of Advanced Knowledge, It remains in our hands to Use it to attain the greatest benefit from it. We, the people of to-day, are living at the most important .moment intian'g long uphill struggle towards a better way of life, Whether we reach this goal depends almost entirely upon the individual. Only if the great mass of the individuals are less selfish, less prejudiced, less grasping, cart We create this brave new world that all men de- sire, All of its here temlIght can help ...samorawomer BELGRAVE Miss Fairy Fells of Barrie, and Mr. and Mrs. Elliott Fells of Smooth Rock Falls, spent their Christmas va- cation with Mr. David Scott.
