DAVIES: TKe staff and students of Balmoral, especially those interested in dramatics, will be soriy to hear that Mr. Davies will not be teaching here next year. He has taught social studies, language, French and drama at-Balmoral for the past eight years. He has done a wonderful job directing the Drama -Club in their production of the annual Spring Concert, which is one of the highlights of the school year. We wish him every success at Killarney School, where he will be Assistant Principal next year. MR. EVANS: Another of our very, active teachers who will not be at Balmoral next- year is Mr. Evans. Some of the .subjects he has taught during the past four, years are science, math, health, art, community economics and agriculture.

He has taught physical education, social studies and language to Grade VII and VIII, and the former to Grade IX, for the past three years-. . Balmoral ' s success in the field, of sports has been largely due to his hard work, in coaching and training our athletes. This year Mr. r ‘.Williams ' became Vice- Principal of the school. Although we will miss him, we wish ' him success at University, and, maybe, if we are lucky, he will return to Balmoral when he is through University. ; . MR. JORSTAD : Another of our well-liked teachers, Mr, Jorstad, will be leaving us to attend University. During the past year he has taught a variety of subjects, including physical education, social studies, language and art. His classes worked hard, but took time out to enjoy Mr. Jorstad 1 s jokes. He has been very active in the extra¬ curricular sports activities. We hope that he has enjoyed teaching at Balmoral and will return when he is finished University.

THE VALEDICTORY - Barrie McCullough - Mr. Chairman, Honored Guests, Teachers, Parents and Fellow Graduates - Long before we students came to Balmoral School, a great many of us were fortunate in having learned the lesson contained in this poem:- If you want to be in the kind of a school Like the kind of a school you like. You need not pack your clothes in your grip And start on a lopg, long hike. You ' ll only find -what you left behind. For there ' s nothing that really is new, It ' s a knock at yourself vhen you knock your school. It Isn ' t your school, it ' s You. Real schools aren ' t made by students afraid Lest someone else goes ahead. If everyone works and nobody shirks. Your school will be at the top. So if you do your personal bit, • And your neighbour does his bit too. Your school will be what you want it to be. It isn ' t your school, it is You. Because this attitude was adopted by so many Balmoralites here to¬ night, and by so many graduates before us, an i because of Balmoral ' s efficient staff, and lastly because of the unending help of parents, Balmoral has through the years become a great School, known far and wide for its good spirit, its scholars,,and its athletic achievements. For these reasons we are sorry to have to leave it after three years of happy sojourn here. Within a few years, the ' 59 Graduating Class will be remembered by just a few, but this is unimportant, since it is only what we leave behind in the school that is remembered. I certainly hope that we as a group have given some¬ thing to Balmoral in return for all it has given us in terms of knowledge, friend¬ ships, and good times, for after all Schools are like banks, They go broke if you take out more than you put inJ But time marches on, and we must advance to schools of higher learning. Nevertheless, we ' ll never forget this wonderful school, and so we must now say sadly but proudly Farewell, Balmoral 11
