Neill, principal of the school, was master of ceremonies for the after noon and in a few words at the be- ginning extended to all the visi. tors a hearty welcome to the school, The Program The afternoon's programme varied Ilttle in form from all other Com- mencement Day programmes, and the biggest part of the afternoon was in the presentation of awards and scholarships won by students during the past school year, 1028- 29, The school orchestra under the directorship ot Mr. L. Richer, supervisor of music in the Oshawa schools, played a number of selec- tions the execution of which is worthy of considerable praise to the leader and members and which should make the orchestra a real source of pride to the school. The spdaker of the day, Rev, Stanley Russell, of Toronto, delivered an address that will not soon be for. gotien by any who listened to him, No more fitting remarks than his could have been spoken at any graduation exercises. Mr, Rusrell complimented the school on its splendid building which so recently has been erected and stated that it would come to mean more and more to the students as the years Bo by. It was his wish that the pupils would take all pride in the place, "Age," sald the spoaker, 'is not everything." and following that remark he made references.to such These schools all have traditions that have been set by students for hundreds of years but the new schools of world fame as Hton Col. loge, and Oxford and Cambridge. awa Collegiate and Vocational Ine stitute have the advantage over theso "old schools" in that their present students have the privilege of setting traditions for the future generations, It Is the duty of those having the advantages of the new schools of this country to "make and to make the future generation Advice to Graduates look back with pride on its past. In speaking to graduating class Mr. Russell left three important things with them to carry out in. to the world, The first of these war friendliness, Friendliness. he sald, is acouired in the school by dally associations and that same Scissors Incident Caused By Fooling Not Quarreling A statement that the report of the incident at the Orinental Tex- tiles plant the other day, In which a young girl has been stabded with a pair of scissors, had been some. what misleading, was made ty The Times last night by Roger Armi- tage, father of the young mau who is now on bail on a charge in con nection with: the incident, Mr, Arms ithgo, who also works in the plant, stated emphatically that it was not correct that the incident occurred during a moment of temper. - "The whole thing octurrad ns the result of too much fooling hy the boy," said Mr, Armitage, "and was purely an accident, There was no temper in it at all, and I am sorry. that it was reported as such The boy is only youys, and while he had no right to be fooling while at work, that is exactly how the in. cident happened." A Russian' immigrant murdered his landlady and her son hecause the former teamped on his bunion, for Baacon-Hevald, & past for the future to inherit," That's even worse than killing a warts | wal Commencement Exercises at O.C.&V.L Yesterday Scholarships, Diplomas and ~~ Prizes Presented to Students J friendliness may he extended inte r, the world so that different races are affected and influenced by it. The second bit of advice was that each pupil should econcelve right idea of work, "All work Is same work," sald the speaker, whether it is working with the hands or the intellect," afd by ress Mzing this a student will fit himself for a greater place in the world as the years go by, Service, to offer time and energy for disinterested public service, was the third and last phase of the address, Mr, Russell explained that the dignity and honor of public service ca only be maintained when it is give * en unselfishly, and without =» thought of reward, The address' was brief but it contained a wealth of encouragement and invaluable advice to those starting out te make lives for themselves, Etchings Presented Mr. McGirr, director of the, Staff Players, had the very pleasant du« ty of presenting to the school and the Board of Education three eol« oured etchings, purchased by thd Staff Players with proceeds from their plays last winter. The stch~ ings are by a well-known artist by the name of Collier, One is "The thedral," one "The Blue Window of Notre Dame Cathedral," and the other "The Dome of St. Paul's Ca« thedral" All etchings are suitably, framed and will add greatly to the appearance of the school. corridors where they are to be hung. Mr. A. W. Dell was asked to accept those beautiful works of art on bee half of the school and the Board of Education, He did so, respond« ing with grateful appreciation and thanks, i} Three young ladies, students of the school, contributed to the ens Joyment of the afternoon, with the rendering of solos. These were Misses Mary Fletcher, Sophie Ede wards and Elson, Outstanding Students There was keener enthusiasm with the presentation of twe awards more than all the rest, These wore the prize donated by the Misses Edmondson, members of the teaching staff for the girl voted the outstanding ¢'rl in the school, and the prize donated by Murray Johnston, #4 former mems ber of the student body, to the boy who is voted the most outstanding boy of the school, Miss Nona Arms strong received the girl's prize and the boy's went to Ernie Marks, Both students responded with shorg spoeches that were loudly applaude ed by the rest of the school. i At the conclusion of the Come mencement exercises the visitors were escorted through the building by student guides.
