Oui thoughts are nlot of the tacto wc absoîbed, but rather o! people wo warked with and the experiences we shared wlxh them. Oui minds dwell an aur teachers. At times we have icît that they were a cuise which had ta be enduîed. However,ý we gradually realized that they were working only wlth aur interests in mi. Faced wlth classes that were alternately loud, silly, and indifferent the 'y nover. tailed te be onthusiastie. We owe them a debt we can- neot repay, but w. would like ta say, "Thanks". We think of aur fellow stu- dents for they are a part ot evorything we remen-iber. They' are the fîiends who in the fu- ture will become aur "aidà fîiénds" and the things we did will become aur "old tumes". When we meet in the future we will reminisce about many things - the suake dance through town atter winning tîack meets, the glooni in the hard fought game, the waiting dressing-room after losing ai in the ramn at Peterborough be- fore inspection, the many dan- ces and class parties, or just the eveîyday lufe at school with its happenings which are iunny anly ta those who were part o! them. These are the thîngs wo wil] remember. Howeveî, the sehool bas done much more besides giving us pleasant memorles. When we eniered tirsitafrm -we were very young even though we thought we knew a great deal. But aur attitude changed. We came mare mature' as the years passed. This nia- turing process is natural but was facilitated by the atmos- phere crealed in the school by Mr. Dippeil and bis staff. Oui Students', Councl i iro- duced us ta elected reprosenta- tion and concession ta the wil] ai the majority. Debates taught us ta argue abjectively without emotian or bitterness. Operet- tas, plays, and public speaking provided ouilets for talent and opportunities ta gain experi- ence before an audience. Sports of all kind taught usj ta give aur best and ta accept victary af defeat graciously Finally exams taught us that without work very littie con be achieved. AIl these things brought us dloser ta belng adults and re- spansible citizens-the type of people aur parents are, for they encouraged us ta gain sanie- thing frain the tume we spent here. Wlthout them, very tew of us wauld have had the de- sire ta work and succeed. Teoaur parents and aur schaol we still have an obliga- tion. as we become indepen- dlent we must strive ta become the type aipople al aur train- ing bas showu we ought ta be."
