n T II E ANA L E C T A VcUedUctosu , “Not on the heights, but climbing ”, is the voice of the 1940 Graduating Class. Our future, so earnestly planned and so ardently wished for, has, in these few years, received a good foundation. Now with the determination of youth, and with feet firmly planted, we travel onward to higher ground. During the past few years, which have sped so quickly by, we have known the enjoyment of Clubs—the Athletic Clubs, the Dramatic, the Current Events, the Hi-Y, and the Camera Clubs. Participating in these we have hoped that we may contribute something to C.C.I.’s history and tradition. Our learning has been mingled with the priceless enthusiasm of youth, with laughter, merriment and a song in our hearts. In years to come, when we have scattered into different fields of activity, we shall treasure pleasant memories of hours spent together. Yet the pursuit of knowledge has been our chief concern. Now graduating from High School, we realize the necessity of extending our boundaries of education. Learning to choose wisely, to prepare for the work for which we are best suited, being able to appreciate the beauty of a diffi¬ cult task well done, and realizing that our very best is the least we should ever offer, are the greatest gains from our High School training. We have attained a more confident attitude toward Life and a firm grounding in the rudiments of an education. A few years ago Graduation was a dream to us. Now it is a reality. In those years we have experienced innumerable defeats, yet we have known the satisfaction of work well done. We now depart, not only with dis¬ ciplined minds, but with human insight and sympathies enriched through the comradeship of our classmates. With a higher and wider conception of the dignity of human life, we embark on a new and strange voyage. To the undergraduates who have yet many a mile to travel, we wish our very best. May our errors be their gain, their gains our pride! To the Faculty we offer our gratitude for their understanding and patient endeavours to help us on this road we are “Finishing to Begin . -GWEN ELLIS
