We began to take more advantage of the time spent in the gymnasium, and, of course, did not overlook the cafeteria. We learned to apprecate the kindly guidance of our Principal, Mr. Keast, and of Mr. Spence, and how fortunate we were in having such men for pilots to chart our course, and direct our frail craft away from hidden rocks to the open sea. We realize now that our teachers were our friends and not merely taskmasters. They had much faith in our ambitions, and pride in our achievements. They helped us to untangle many knots, and were the source of ideas of both how to improve our work and how to enjoy ourselves. We think of the words of Mark Twain, Let us endeavour so to live that when we come to die, even the un' dertaker will be sorry, and as we think of these words, we apply them to our' selves and say, Let us endeavour so to strive that when we come to leave, even our teachers will be sorry. We were fortunate in having the staff but little changed, but this year the school suffer' ed a loss in the departure of two mem' bers of the staff, one who was deeply interested in our gymnasium work and the other in French. However, our loss has been another's gain and we wish them the best of future happiness. Eastern Commerce has grown steadily. Nine years ago it started with 800 pupils and 20 teachers, now there are nearly 1,700 pupils and 50 teachers. We owe Eastern Commerce a great debt not only for teaching us to type, write shorthand, if lk if Gym Teacher: I want every girl to lie on her back, put her legs in the air and move them as if she were riding a bicycle. Commence! After a short effort a girl stopped. Gym Teacher: Why have you stop' ped, Gertrude? Gertrude: If you please, I was coast' ing. EASTERN ECHO read French, post journals, and to ap- preciate other subjects no less important but we owe her a further debt for teach' ing us the spirit of fair play and loyalty She inspired in us an attitude, fair to' wards both our work and fellowfpupils, and to give a word of encouragement to our opponents. Cooperation was instilled in us through our debating and games. May we then say a word of thanks to Eastern Commerce, to the Board of Edu' cation which has made possible our schools, to our principal and teachers, and to our parents who have forfeited so much that we might enjoy to the full the educational advantages which we, as Canadian citizens, are offered. As our motto says, we had entered Eastern Commerce to learn more, and to benefit by what we learned before the going forth. We have carried the torch for four years, and now entrust it to you pres' ent students in the hope that you will hold it high, and lighten the path of your followers. Our advice to you is know your principal and teachers at the beginning and give them cofoperation. If you do, Eastern Commerce has nothf ing to lose but all to gain. When you get downfhearted because you seem behind, recall these timely words: Fancy the world as a hill lad, Look where the millions stop, You'll find the crowd at the base lad, There's always room at the top. We are sorry to leave you then Com' merce, but we wish you success in all your future relationships. 7 il ll 'll Folks, said the colored minister, the subject of my sermon this evening am 'Liarsf Hffw many in the con' gregation has done read the 69th chap' ter of Matthew? Nearly every hand in the audience was raised. Dat'S right, said His Reverence. You is just the folks I wantito preach to. Dere is no 69th chapter of Matthew. Twenty-one
