Your fine playing fields have been trod by some of the finest scholars and soldiers in this country. Your debt to them is great. So, boys. as you go forth. remember your school,s traditions. its distinguished alumni. and the masters who gave you your preparation for life. Give thanks. also. for your citizenship-for every day is. or should be. Thanksgiving Day in Canada. People like to talk about the great resources of Canada. But our greatest resource is our people. The future of Canada does not rest with our mines. or wheat- fields. or forests. but with the character of its people. In short. it rests with you. In wishing you well. I feel sure I express the sentiments of all those here today when I say that you will bring honour to your school, to your community. and to your country. I thank youf, Rooome I as Head Prefect thanked the speaker ably. the Chairman of the Governors seconded Roome's motion and took the opportunity to refer to the loss sustained by the death of Dr. Worthington and the proceedings concluded with the School Song and The Queen.
