Miss MARY EVANS VALEDICTORY ONE are the days!” How we hate to say it! But it is a fact. Never again will we dash madly through the halls of our well-beloved C.C.I. to finish our undone homework in time for class. Yet, although our teachers may often despair of us, we cannot spend four years within the portals of our school and not receive influence which makes us better fitted to become citizens of our native Canada. § Our training might, however, be very advisedly extended to include such things as a Literary Sociery—which of late years has been classified as a “has- been”—a Dramatic Club, and such socializing institutions as skating parties and an annual school dance. It will be recognized that High School should deveop us in public experience, not only in intellect. Many of us, on leaving, find to our sorrow that we are inferior to our fellows from other high schools in the former respect. Also, the rhyme which says, “All work and no play, makes Jack a dull boy,” has a.sound basis of truth. Students would do much better work if allowed to enjoy such diversions as are engaged in at other High Schools. Besides these two purposes they serve a greater: they build up a united school spirit, which has lately been killed by suppression, although we regret to admit it. It is up to you, younger students, to retrieve C.C.I.’s social reputation, as well as to uphold her renown in athletic and scholastic enterprises. No, rather, not content with past achievements, to improve upon them by doing greater. High School days are days of our character building; days when we must fit ourselves for such activities as we may find in Normal School, University or the business world. If we sing gaily through our high school years with no thought of the morrow, we are apt to find ourselves in the position of the “Foolish Virgins.” Our high school training is given to us by our country—not that we may waste our time, but that we may be better able to serve her, and make her an even greater nation than she is today by adding our small mite. It is with regret and the feeling that we might have done more to fulfi our duty to our country, while in C.C.I., that we, who have passed on, say ‘ Goodbye.” We have the new responsibilities and must face the task of “doing our bit” in the world beyond the gates of dear old C.C.I.
