10 - PORT PERRY STAR -- THURSDAY, NOV. 17, 1966 Dianne Mairs Gives Valedictorian Address For 1966 At Cartwright High School Mr. Paisley, Mewnbers of the staff, students, parents, friends "and fellow graduates: If these ceremonies have wearied you, do not despair. I am fully aware of the discom- fort you are suffering from those wretched chairs, and that many of you are in agony, due to a numbness in a certain part of your anotomy. With this in mind, I shall attempt to be brief and to the point. Tonight my fellow graduates and I have journeyed here from such centres of learning as Oshawa, Hamilton and Peter- borough to be with you for our last Commencement. In many ways, it is no different than the first. Five short years ago, as eager Grade Niners, we viewed these intense interest and awe, eag- erly anticipating the busy, happy years to come. Then, gradually, without being aware of it ourselves, we matured from noisy, giggling, irrespon- sible adolescents into prudent, self-disciplined, composed and responsible adults. During this time, we were the cause of much suffering, both on the part of our teachers at C.H.S: eremonies with | and our parents at home.. increased the sale of ye Clairol" ' by causing people to go grey. For this trouble and inconvenience we humbly apolo- gize. However, I sincerely be- lieve that "the end justifies the means," "We have, this evening, re- ceived our Secondary School Graduation Diplomas. Having climbed another rung in the ladder of success, we sense a deep feeling of satisfaction at our achievements, It has not been easy. Each year, we were faced with a new and greater challenge, and each year we met this challenge with a de- fiant struggle. To put it in Caesar's words, "We came, we saw, we conquered." As I think back now over my high school years, I am remin- ded of one or two lines from William Shakespeare's play "Macbeth" -- "If it were done when 'tis done, Then 'twere well it were done quickly." These last five years of our lives have come and gone, almost before we knew it. Gone is our warm secure little world where our greatest worries were exams, teachers and Mondays, and our e| happiest moments were during spares, noon hours, and on Fri- days. Suddenly we have had to face the fact our successors have moved up to fill' our nich- es at C.H.S., and that we must seek higher levels of education out in the .vast, frighening world. During the past two months we have left behind our families and friends and ven- tured forth into unfamiliar ter: ritories, only to discover that the world is, after all, a friend- ly and exciting place. We have united with others who have similar goals, and this unifica- tion has made us stronger and more willing to persevere. Wherever we may be, how- ever, we shall not forget Cart: wright High nor our teachers and friends here." This year we have met students who boast of attending the largest high schools in the province, but I have yet to meet anyone who, like myself, can brag about at- tending the smallest. I tell them that 'Good things come in small packages. . There is also a certain satisfaction in seeing the defeated look in their eyes when I casually mention that students from BUSINESS DIRECTORY G.

At present, there is one student teacher among the graduates who has faithfully promised to uphold the school's good repu- tatin or be forever shamed. We are also earning a fav- ourable name for our school in other areas of education, such as in the nursing prfession, in universities, and in various other walks of life. We now realize how important were our high school years in preparing us for the steep climb ahead of us these were the vital years in® which our minds were re- fined and our morals, which will henceforth govern our lives, were formed. Our atti- tudes were also greatly influ- enced and modified. To this year's Grade Thir- teens, and to those who are even now following in your footsteps, I offer a word or two of sincere encouragement and advice. Always think of the future and set your sights on an ultimate goal. Never let temptation or defeat lead you astray "or discourage - you, 'for nothing in the world can ever equal the deep sense of satis- faction you'll experience when you finally attain your goal. From the expressions on the faces of many of you,'I can tell that you have doubts as to the wisdom of my words. A year ago, we graduates also shared your views. Next year, when youu are in oyr shoes, perhaps you'll feel as we do now. We]. sincerely hope so, and on be- half of my fellow graduates] and myself I wish you every|i{. success in the years to come. Remember, worthwhile - is worth working for, and once you have your education, no one can ever take it away from you. In closing, I'd like to pay a tribute to our teachers who have been so co-operative and undertanding, especially during this past year. Never once did you- refuse to give us your un- divided attention when we ap- proached you with a problem. Never once did you complain of relinquishing your free time to give us extra counselling and guidance . before our final exams. And never once.did we think to stop and thank you.| We owe much of our success to you, perhaps more than we'll ever realize. To you we extend our warmest thanks and appre- ciation, anything that is|}i -- OBITUARY -- EDWARD SAMUEL RAE DUSTY After an illness of some months, Edward Samuel Rae Dusty passed away on October 30, 1966 in Port Perry Mem- orial Hospital.
