Principal reflects on education at CHSS
By Joe Wooden
Commencements, in addition to being
times of congratulations to the graduates
and award winners and time of wishing good
luck to our former students are also ap-
propriate times upon which to reflect about
education and about schools.
If I had to sum up my views of education
in one thought I would be inclined to say that
schools are about knowledge - the acquisi-
tion of knowledge, the shaping of attitudes in
the light of knowledge, the process of think-
ing using acquired knowledge, and the ap-
preciation of learned skills through
knowledge.
Indeed, it is true that there is so much
knowledge that one cannot learn even a
minute portion of it and it is true that we
must learn how to find and use knowledge
but that doesn't excuse us from making
some knowledge our own. As Julian Huxley
remarked, "Knowledge is basic. It is
knowledge which enables us to understand
the world and ourselves, and to exercise
some control or guidance. It set us in a fruit-
ful and significant relation with the ender=

ing processes of the universe. And, by
revealing the possibilities of fulfilment that
are still open, it provides an over-riding in-
centive. We, mankind, contain the
possibilities of the earth's immense future,
and can realize more and more of them on
the condition that we increase our
knowledge and our love."
It seems to me that while we are students
in the formal, educational sense, our
primary duty is to learn and acquire
knowledge and skills so that we can take a
place in the world outside of the school hav-
ing something to offer.

Cantly, friends have the ability to pick you
up when you're down. They are always
there when you need them. One thing I em-
phasize, I was given on my birthday last
year, "Hold to a true friend with both
hands."
Now, we look ahead to the future, and we
see that many things await us, yet many
things must be sought after: a solid, career,
happiness, sense of self-worth, confidence.
And, unlike the past, we must accomplish
these things mainly on our own. No longer
are we living with our parents, old friends
have spread across Ontario, or perhaps the
globe, and a different student -teacher rela-
tionship exists, one that is not so close as we
have here at Central Huron. We must ex-
amine all the possibilities and alternatives,
and, using past experience, choose the right
course for ourselves.
This next step of life is a culmination of
everything we have lived, and must not be
taken lightly. Remember; we have the
potential to be whatever we want to be. Set
your goals, and strive for them with
everything you've got. I guarantee your
energies will not go unwasted.
And this advice I offer to you: You will get
out of life all that you put into it, for what
you are is God's gift to you, and what you
make of yourself is your gift to God. I know I
speak for all of the graduates when I say
that we are very close to one another.
Please, for the sakes of all gathered here
tonight, go out, and give it your best shot.
Life is the most fantastic opportunity
anyone can be offered, and each and every
one of us has the power to make it the ab-
solute best it can be.
Everywhere that you shall go,
I feel contented, for I know
Within each student, gathered here,
There lives a passion, yet no fear,
Of what is still to come in life:
The joy, the sorrow, ecstasy or strife.
The roads are paved, a yearning is in the
air,
And you have the means to get you there.
Go now, I say and take you chances.
For what you find, your soul enhances.
And if you follow the path for you,
A life of happiness will ensue.
My confidence in the world is great indeed,
For I trust the quality .of coming genera-
tions.
You are the seed.
Plant yourself, and shine in the light of the
sun.
