VALQDICTORY ADDRESS SEPT. 10, 1515 Mr. Machae, Inspector Booth, members of the staff of the Collegiate Institute, fellow students, ladies and gentlemen: To-night I stand before you feeling greatly honoured to be able to represent, and speak a few words of farewell for the l9Sh graduating class of the Collingwood District Collegiate Institute. It has been a great privilege to be here and through our five happy years we have received much that will carry us on to greater future goals. We are here to-night with a sense of great glndness and high hopes, nevertheless with a note of melancholy as we contemplate leaving the place of our secondary school education. Always will be remembered the first eager days of collegiate life when we embarked upon a new sea of knowledge which has now been traversed successfully. There arise in our minds the not-so-pleasant memories of study and hum-drum work which was endured but also much enjoyed. Although tedious at times, it has brought us to our ultimate goal,--graduation. We are reminded of the well-known saying that anything worth achieving necessitates sacrifice in one form or another. Next came the sports activities, which were so essential to balanced school life. There were the football games with the entire school out cheering wholeheartedly for our team, whether in victory or defeat. The track and field meets and basketball which thrilled us as competitors or as spectators instilled in us a never-ending pride in our school and town. Through our years of academic work and sports activities, we have gleaned the true meaning of sportsmanship, cooperation, and obedience. we must not, at this time, neglect the paying of tribute to our principal, teachers, and parents, who, making it all possible, have so ably guided and corrected us in every phase of our school life. It is they who have taught us the supreme values of initiative, persistence, and concentration through their hours and years of tolerance, patience, and constant faith in humanity. From now on our lives will spread into various walks, and although uncertainties may arise, we look forward to it with resolution and determination to succeed and to excel in our chosen fields of activity, knowing that we have acquired here the necessary tools for the job. Isn't it strange That princes and kings, K And clowns that caper tulg, In sawdust rings, A by And common people '1 M Like Youdand me it 3-get ' er or etern ,fr ff Are bull s f y Each is given a bag of tools -,S A shapeless mass, A book of rules, ' T57 , And each must make-- YgQf7M Reg? , Ere life is f1own-- .wp .D 456Q.J A stumbling block Or a steppingstone. We, the graduating class, wish the student body and teachers of this school continued success and happiness during this present school year and in all your future endeavours. EDWARD A. COOK
