L. Mitchell. Lindsay la naw attending tic Uni- versity cf Torante taking a course ln Commerce and Finance. Durlng his years at B.HS. he was an eut- standing student in evcry way and a large prizc-winner lai his final year. The addrcss follaws: As representative cf the gradu- atîng class cf 1941, 1 stand here to look back on the -enjayable events cf Uhc last five years, and ta step forward into a warld .tamn by hate, barbarism n sd cruelty. The future may be very diftilýilt but I arn sure we can cantrol 11. As we pass along the raad cf life and matuîity, we sec thc mile- stanes cf events projecting frein thc roadbed cf knawledge. This path is gradually widenlng, straightcuiug and pragressing frain an Indian trail ta thc smocth highway af 11e. Back an Uic hor- izan we can sec thc yearly sign- posts, that have marked aur ad- vance frain class ta class. Here sud there, lies a gap, whcn' frein negligence ar sickness, we have failed ta make the grade. Far back stands a seemingly more import- ant signpost, aur entrance into high schoal. Everything seemed new and strauge and it was sever- ai months before we had cxploied the halls aud nooks af Uic scheal, aud feit that we kuew our way araund. But it teck two or three years before we feit at home. Suddenly, L for Uic time passcd very quickly, we find ourselves iu thc honared V fori and in our last year af schooi, we hape. Field day, athletic and literary society elections sprmng upon us, and be- fore wc realize it, rugby season is heme. Eagerly wc look farward ta the trips to neighbaring tawns, Uic home gaines aud dances, and accasianally, a longer trip ta Uic playoff gaines. Befame we have had turne te recuperate froin Uic rugby, commencement, aud sean Christinas are upon us. After Uic holidays, we find that turne has elapsed aud we know very littie. W. work harder, but still flnd time for the basketball gaines and Uic At Home. We envision thc miles af decarations glued, dapcd and pinned frein the furnishiugs aud' wafls cf the auditorium. By now it la aur turu te put on thc forin prograin. For Uic last. twa. years aur class has attempted a partion cf a light opera. The cias skating party is another aunual eventi i which Uic undiscovered charactcristics of aur classmatcs wcre brought fcrth. Here alse, we discovered, or rediscovcred, thé mare yauthiful spirits cf aur teach- crs. Froin these parties sprang up a fricndly campanionship bctwecn teacher aud pupil. Hurried &long by these eveuts, May turned up aud made us aware of Uic presence cf final examinatiaus. We then realized, that although wc had lcarned much, wc knew very littie. We looked back Urcugh thc yearg we had spent here and saw that aur subjects, first boring, had naw becorne intercsting and -would help us iu aur way Uirough life. Our teachers uaw wcre rccognized in their truc ight. To these mould- crs of character, we oecain ever- lasting dcbt of thankfulness and gratitude fer lightiug aur way in, Uic search for kucwledge. This year, Uic graduatiug class la stcpping iuta a world tamn by war. Ils prescuce was feit last year, with Uic early graduation af rnuy cf cm- classinates. These have dane their part, sinail though it may be iu Uic large total, ta help bring Uic war ta a successful- conclusion. Aithaugh we must ail do our utmnost ta win the war, and great sacrifice la neccssary, we must samehow recognize Uic dangers of education iu wartirne, and seek ta avoid Uicmn. Many of Uic schaals loday have turned tawards strictly techuical teach- mng. This is very ncccssary in war- time, but we alsa must net forget aur culture, far, if wc faîl ta li- prove it, although wc will win Uic struggle, wc ndght lose what we arc fightiug for, aur standard. of culture. Before bidding the achool a final farewell wc wlsh ta pasa on Uic results of our expeience ta thase Who fallaw lu aur footsteps. Wark hard and faithfully, enjay yaurself i sports and dances, aud be companiaus flot chlldren, af ycur teachers. Wc have doue our utmast ta uphold Uice.faditlan of cm- achool.
