Valedictory Mr. McIntyre, honored guests, parents, staff and fellow graduates: Graduation Day has quickly come upon us, and today, as we think back over the past years at Elmwood, we in our hearts cannot help but feel a little sadness at this farewell. We must thank our esteemed principal, Mr. McIntyre, and all the teachers whose help has enabled us to be here today. This year has found some of us in Grade XII, others pursuing their careers at the University, and still others started on the great adventure of earning a living. Looking back to when we first started school, we remember those long learning years and the tireless efforts of our patient instructors. Along the road, we have worked and shared the same experiences with many people. We will always remember the wonderful days shared in this fold. The joys of working together whether it be on the news¬ paper, on the yearbook, on various committees or on athletic or academic teams, will be treasured memories forever. Every challenge has given us more and more experience in order to face the problems of living in a modern democrat ic society. In order to have a successful life today, one must possess as a minimum a high school education and now we have ours. Education is the key to open the door to a successful life. There are plenty of jobs available, but they are open only to trained people. Our education has not only trained us intellectu¬ ally, but it has given us a keener insight into the social and political affairs of our country. Our advisors have taught us to reject what is false and to retain what we consider right, using our past experiences as a criterion. The well-rounded education we have received has taught us how to become good citizens of the world. This country we live in is very young, but it is growing by leaps and bounds every day. In order that Canada may perform its role as a peacemaker and also a benefactor to deprived nations, we need all the trained manpower possible. We are a nation of plenty and it is our duty to the world that every individual in Canada do his best to promote peace and welfare in the world, in order to give everyone the same equal opportunities and standard of living that we are blessed with in Canada. We are all Canadians, and we must bear the burden by doing the best possible in everything we do. We can ignore the world around us and bury our heads, or we can accept our duty with pride. Men fought and gave their lives so that this world would be a better place to live in. We are enjoy¬ ing the fruits of their sacrifice, but we must see that the rest of the world benefits from what they fought for. From this we see that life and its responsibiIities are our greatest challenges. No matter who you are or what you have done in the past, the future is yours to live for. Your country, its government and its laws will be your responsibilities in the near future. The future is yours to do with as you wish, but let us make the coming years the most productive and fruitful that mankind has ever known. — Greg Kozoris

Governor-General’s Medalist Throughout the past year and, indeed the past several years, Robert Pawlik has consistently been at the head of his class due to the fine qualities of leadership and perseverance in his character. He had dedicated his school life not only towards the attain¬ ment of a high scholastic standing, but also towards other extracurricular activities as well. Now these years of achievement have been rewarded; Elmwood High School has given him the highest award it can offer a student; the Governor-General’s Medal. A Governor-General ' s Medal is awarded only to those persons who have not only received outstanding marks in his subjects, but also have given to the school more than he has received. An education, which is regarded so highly by people today, is the award given a graduate at the conclus ion of his high school years. A Governor-General ' s Medalist has, in the opinion of the faculty of the school, contributed as much to the life of the school as to equal this great prize. In spite of the constant effort required to main¬ tain a high level of scholarship, Bob did not neglect school activities. He has been an active member of the Science Club and he is also an outstand ing ama¬ teur photographer (as pictured on page 1 and page 2 of this Yearbook). In 1963, Bob ran for President of our school and although he lost the election, he gained a great deal of recognition and respect throughout the school. He achieved city wide acclaim as George Durnin, Leila Innes, Alan Alvare, and him¬ self demonstrated their knowledge and ability by winning the Reach For The Top competition. No one is more deserving than he to receive this award and this year Elmwood had a Medalist to be proud of.
