One of the highlights of the Cartwright High School commencement exercises Saturday was the Valedic- torian address by pretty Miss Wilma Wolters, now a student at Seneca College in Willowdale. The address went as follows: One's chances of being chosen as Valedictorian are very good when there are only three graduates in your class. Mine turned out better than I had hoped for. Presently I amy.enrolled in a Tourist Industry course at Seneca and when Mr. Paisley informed me that I had been chosen I could have quite bluntly told him.. where to go...without the aid of a tourist counselor course. After having second thoughts, I realized that it was an honour to be able to speak on behalf of the graduating class. I .hope that I will echo their thoughts as well as mine in this speech. Each shool is different and CHS is not an exception It is not only the size that makes Cartwright High School unusual but the teachers, the student body, and the closeness that is derived from our small structure which we are proud to call CHS. CHS possesses a warm friendly atmosphere that has been derived from the commun- ity itself during the past fifty years. After overcoming my nervousness during the first week of grade nine I realiz- ed that there was still hope for my enjoying CHS. Dur- ing my high school years we never had such extrava- gances as a gym or a common room. Perhaps it was the simplicity of it all that has made Cartwright special. Now, don't get me wrong, academically there was no such word as "simple". Most of us, the students, worked hard to achieve what we obtained and the teachers worked dil- igently to put up with us, They were always ready to help at our request and to . decided be our friends if we needed them. The new students from larger schools complained at first of the:size, the work, the people and just about everything else. But with time they finally decided we weren't so terrible after all and they began to appreci- ate the Cartwright tradition. CHS definitely had its ad- vantages and disadvant- - ages. One very obvious advantage was that due to the small size of the school, we never needed a P.A. system. Some of the kids were just as good and less expensive! Among the obvious advantages of a small school there were léss obvious disadvantages. Such as needing a canoe to get to the lockers in the _ spring, at one point needing umbrellas for the library books to say nothing of the students, a cafeteria re- presented by the milk cool- er, and getting caught in the boys' locker rooms when we it was the best place for a common room. It is not only these advant- ages and disadvantages that have made CHS unique. Basically it is the tradition- al school spirit; it is this spirit that can' make or break the enjoyment of the school. You as a student of CHS have the right to make your school what you want it to be. If you want to keep the spirit that people have begun to say is slowly dis- appgaring you must fight TOGETHER to maintain it. In Cartwright we have been allowed to keep our identities; we have names not numbers. In actuality we have been taught that we must be individuals and no one has tried to change us; they have only tried to understand us. As the years have gone by we have learned to stand together and appreciate the true value of our small six classroom school. We've shared bad time, the worry- ing about exams, the common complaint of 'too much work" and naturally Monday mornings. But the good times have outweighed these in almost all school activities especially when we recall the fun of the bottles drives, car rallies, school trips, buffet dinners, winter carnival, plays, formals and much more. But not everything can - always come up roses. CHS was only a beginning that will lead us through the remainder of our to- MOITOWS. So to those of you with whom I have shared so much in the past four years, thank you! Each and everyone of you shall be a special part of my memor- ies as I search for a mean- ingful future. - While travelling the road of time Remember that.....
