St Michaels University School - Black Red and Blue Yearbook (Victoria, British Columbia Canada)

SPEECH DAY It was both fortunate and fitting that one of the few good Saturdays of the term should be on the last Speech Day to be held out of doors, since no rooms or hall could have held the numbers present and, al- though it rained everywhere within a few miles of the school, Mount Tolmie stayed fine. Indeed, the afternoon events were carried out in brilliant sunshine, and there is no question that the weather added immensely to the pleasure of the day. The Chancellor of the University of Victoria and lVIrs. Clearihue honoured the school with their presence, and Dr. Clearihue gave one of the most interesting addresses heard in years. He traced some of the changes he had witnessed in his lifetime, from travel by horse and buggy- the sole means of it in his youth - to the jet age of today: from the guesswork and pain of early surgery to the miracle drugs and anaesthetist practices which are now routineg from shrapnel and shells to hydrogen bombsg from the abacus to the electronic computer: from the dim researches of a few scientists to the vast army who carry out research now-it is estimated that more than ninety-eight per cent of all the scientists who have ever lived are alive today. From his wealth of experience and rich background. Dr. Clearihue reviewed the past, present and the future. and bade the boys prepare well for the vast changes which lie ahead. His address was also amusing- When I was a boy a beetle was something you trod on: nowadays young people - particularly females -clasp them to their bosoms with shrieks of joy and the applause which followed the Head Prefect's CDanny Singerl vote of thanks, was prolonged and sincere. Prior to Dr. Clearihue's address and the presentation of the awards, the Headmaster gave his Report, which is printed below. The proceedings ended with the singing of the School Song and The Queen.
