Vivian Speake At Tyrone Meeting In spite of bad weather on Fni day evenîng, Dec. 8, Darlingtor Progressive Conservative Associ- ation entertalned a goodly num- ber of citizens at Tyrone Hall in honor of Dr. R. Pq Vivian, M.P.P. for Durham. In the earlier part of the eve- ning the Association held its busi- ness meeting. The following of- ficers were elected: Hon. Pres.- Wm. Virtue; Pres.-E. A. Billett; Vice Pres.-Fred Ellis; Treas.- Adam Sharp; Sec'y--Walter F. Park. After a short program of read- ings and musical selections Mr. Billett introduced Dr. Vivian, the honored guest, giving some idea of the untiring efforts and the work that bas been accomplished by Dr. Vivian as Minister of Health during the past year. Dr. Vivian gave an inspiring address dealing mostly with what the Progressive Conservative ad- ministration had accomplished in their 22 point program and their post-war plans. The ladies provided a bountiful lunch. During the social bour ahl had a chance to meet and to 'be- corne personally acquainted with Dr. Vivian. Wha.t's Wrong Wlth That? The cbild asked to have the two books charged out in a branch library. 'Did you know that these books are exactly alike?" inquired the librarian. "Sure," replied the child, "but I'm going to read the story twice."

As a caution ta those allegedlyv creat- ing disturbances, this paper bas been asked ta bring the matter ta public attention. The dlaim is that noisy disturbances are heightened by drinkîng and that many empty bottles bave been found strewn outside the ball and that responsibility rests on the shoulders of the younger element of the community and others com- ing from distant points. Accepted as coming from a re- sponsible source, it may be point- ed out that the Hall was the gif t of the late G. W. McLaughlin and as such was concelved for the benefit of all the people ta be en- joyed with freedom and proper decorum. It is understood that if the present situation cennot be overcome reasonably, then steps may 'be taken ta close the Hall or in the alternative the matter may be referred ta police authorities.

Lance Vaiedictory Address At High School Commencement Following is the valedictory ad- drcss delivcred et the Higb School Commencement Exercises by John Rutter, winncr of ahl major prizes and scholarships in Upper School examinations for 1944: Members of the Board of Edu- cation, Mr. Dippell, Members of the Staff, Ladies and Gentlemen: In bcginning, I should like ta express my thar4s for being chosen ta try ta convey ta you ta- nigbt the tboughts and sentiments of the graduating class of 1944 as we leave Bowmanville H i g b School. It is an honor which I appreciate very much. Our thaughts tonight are turned in two directions; that is, ta- ward the past and toward the future. We have many pleasant memories of aur days in B.H.S., and we look forward with great hopes for the future. This is a small school, and in a small school, ah 0of the students must take an interest in the vani- ous activities in-order ta make those activities successful. A spirit of co-operation and interest bas always prevailed in B.H.S., and we have ail derived a great deal of enjoyment tramn our ac- tivities. We ail have enjoyed pvtting on form programs and participating in past commence- ments. At other times, we had the pleasure of watching fromn the audience. During our five years here, the school has been very active in the athietic field. The rugby and basketball tcems, 'in particular, bave achicved notable success. Plain, Bowmanville, 1Oth dona- tion.

But not only bave those wbo playý cd derived pleasure tram thg 4games, but also those who watchý cd and cheered, or worked be. hind the scenes. Everyone ha! participated in some measure ir sports. And that is a very fin( thing, for it broadens the SCOPE of your education and helps tc teach you that most importani quality which we caîl sportsman. ship. I amn sure tbat we ahl shahl neyer forget the wonderful sea- sons of sports that we bave bad. Perhaps some of the incidental experiences wbicb came ta mind most readily are the excitement of final preperatian for a game, the tense atmosphcre of the lack- er-room at baif-time, and the thrilh of riding through town with the horn blowing and streamers flying after an out-of-town vie- tory. And when an at-home game was on the schedule, we learned how ta be hospitable ta the visit- ing team. A spirit of friendly rivelry bas elways cxisted be- tween B.H.S. and the other schools we have met. After the games, came the in- formai dances which we ail en- joyed so much. These dances gave us the chance to become better acquainted among ourselves, as well as to meet new people from other towns and cîties. You only have ta leave the school for a short time ta appreciate how much fun those dances realhy were. Yes, an atmospbere of co-opera- tion and interest bas always pré- vailed in this school in the past. It is ta be hoped that future stu- dents and teachers will carry on in the same tradition. The pest five years have, been among the most important years of our lives. When wc entered High School, we were girls and boys. We graduate now as yaung women and young men. We must in large measure thank aur teacb- ers for this transformation. They have had a profound influence upon us. They bave been good friends, ta wbom we could turn for assistance and guidance at any time. Our teachers bave taugbt us those tbings we must know ta become good citizens and to become successful in aur work. [bey bave helped to devlop goad character in us. We leave B.H.S. Lvell prepared ta meet intelligent- .y the problems wbicb the future s certain ta present. We can only speculate as ta what the future will hold for us.
