Graduation Ball VALEDICTORY We are very proud and honoured to be the first class to graduate from Branton Junior High School. I am sure we all remember the thrill of the first day; coming to a brand new school with its shiny class rooms and modern equipment. We were indeed very fortunate to have such a lovely building and fine staff of teachers in our important final year of Junior High School. Usually grade nine is made up of last year’s class mates. This year we have come together from different schools, from different teachers. This has given us an opportunity to make new friends and take part in new and varied activities. Branton has no tradition but in the future we will be her past, so we have been doing our best all year to establish fine precedents. Our main project of the year was of course the Operetta, to which every individual, teacher and student alike contributed many long hours of planning and practising. Aside from the splendid work done by the actual performers much was done behind the scenes Forty-Eight

by way of stage properties, make-up, costumes, advertising and ticket sales, to make the whole project a wonderful success. The real success of our Operetta lay in the co-operative spirit that day by day drew us together in one common goal. Sports have also played a big part in our year, with the Branton Senior girls win¬ ning the volley-ball and basketball championships. Throughout our class rooms and throughout all the activities there has been an underlying feeling of deter¬ mination and drive to make this year a memorable one. All this naturally turns our thoughts to those who have played such an im¬ portant part in our individual successes. I refer of course to our teachers and parents. We are deeply grateful to them for giving so freely of their time, patience, interest and understanding guidance to our every problem whether it be big or small. Up until now the choice has not been ours whether to go to schoo l or not. We have received the foundation of our education, something for us to fall back upon in later years. Now it is for us to decide what we will build on this founda¬ tion. I am sure with the training we have received in co-operation and citizen¬ ship together with the wonderful Branton spirit we will continue to higher goals. We will have other graduations but this one we will remember as being both a happy and a rather sad event, as we will leave these surroundings which have become so familiar to us. Our places will shortly be filled by others just as eager and determined to succeed. It is our sincere wish that the valuable experiences we have enjoyed will in due time be theirs.
