An intgresting present- ation.was made at the Com- mencement Exercises on behalf of Miss Margaret Mec- Briae rorman of Toronto and' Mr.- Dugald McBride Nas- mith of Montreal. Miss Forman and Mr. McBride are grand-children of Mr. Dugald McBride, the first principal of Port Perry High School, 1872-1907. When Mr. McBride retired as principal of P.P.H.S. in 1907, after 85 years of teach- ing in Port Perry, the School Board held a reunion of his former pupils, and the chairman read an address in his honour. A.copy of the address, beautifully decor- ated by a Toronto "Illumin- ator" was présented to him as a memento of the occas- ion. The McBride family trea- sured this. document for many years, and finally de- cided that it should be retain- 'ed permanently in the school. It was presented on their behalf to Mr. D. Williams, current principal by a staff member and friend of the doners, William Brock. Mr. Williams accepted the Ad- . dress for the school and stated that it would be pro- minently displayed in the school library. The following is the vale- dictorian address by Darcy Wallace.

We weére afraid of new work, new experiences, nev respon- sibilities because we were not a part of the school. But gradulally we learned to be- long, to make friends to study. Now, Grade 13 study is different from previous years. The students work- load is extremely, large in comparison to any work he has seen before. He learns ta adapt tothis extra' work by doing only as much home- work as time permits. Here are a typical Thirteen stud- ent's thoughts on beginning his nightly homework. I'll do functions first.
