Its success or failure has yet t6 be dietermined but it would be, difficuit to say that ai least something had flot been accempilshed. It dees appear at this stage that the' majority of Provincial Premiers place greater importance on the- econ- omics and social welf are of its people rather than on the cultural and language backgroun~d. We do and have in the past su~pported this view for discontent between people and areas is generally one of econçnics. Culture is defined as the training and refining of the mind, emotions, manners, tastes etc., along witli concepts, habits, skiils, arts, instruments and institutions. As sucli, culture is a changing media and is neyer statie. We can note this change froni parent te offspring and it is next to impossible to legisiate or control this change; and who really wants to. The economies on which niany Prem iers no. place importance is the greatest factor in changing culture. What difference does it make if one enicys, a spot of tea in the afternoon while another enicys, a -bowl of habitant seup? Or if one spends his leisure time with art whule another takes on sailing? On a personal basis neo '*ne really cares. It does however enrich a nation when its people cati have diverse interest and can live ini harmony with them. But these differing cultures are net enly based on, natienalities, they are based on people as individuals, which is something that cannot be legislated. We agree. that the big issue being discussed in Tor- ento is one of ecenomics.

This class lias the great distinction of being the first grad- uatiu$ class te spend alJ. of the five years of higli seffool at Clarke. Another distinction is that we are graduating in the year of Canada's 100th Birthday of Confederation. Every Comnmencemnent is an ex- citing time. We, ourselves have watched with pride as relativesj anld friends have graduated be- fore us. But this, our own gradu- ation is the most exciting time cf ail. In a way, it is one cf the big'gest steps we make inlilfe. Fori many cf us it means a break with fanuly and good friends. We have te make a go of il ourselves in either work or higlier education. But, if we have listened well ini ctar higli school years, we will fnd that we are prepared for this step.
