The following address was by the valedictorian on that occasion. THE INTERMEDIATE V.iLEDICTORIaN ' S MESSAGE After two yoars of hard work and studying, we have finally reached the first plateau of achievement in high school. This we will never regret. To attain our final goal, most of us will continue to strive even more resolutely for Junior Matriculation and perhaps Senior Matriculation. Recalling past experiences, we find that these years have been enlightening as well as enjoyable. The first day of high school wo felt nervous and awkward in such a large school. It was so easy to get lost-- as most of us soon discovered. Moving from room to room was strange and the absence of recesses was disappointing. We were divided into classes and alasj separated from old frionds. However, as the days went by, we established new friendships and each day had its exciting moment. We learned to accept responsibilities and bec ame accustomed to newer, more mature methods of learning. . . • . . ' ' « Still, the credit should not go to us, alone. We owe more than can over be repaid to our teachers. They worked diligently each day trying to drum Latin or French verbs or the typewriter alphabet into our heads-- sometimes, just when we were trying to get ..our afternoon nap. To learn so many seemingly impossible things, we certainly had to have the best teachers to stimulate our dull minds. By,drawing from their own experi¬ ences they helped and encouraged us as well as taught us the fundamentals so that we would receive our intermediate certificates today. We are also very grateful to our parents who were always sympathetic when we needed their advice. I am sure all of us will agree that their financial assistance too was very important. Now we have joined the upper ranks of the school. More activities are open to us and we are still being presented with new vistas of learn¬ ing.

Most of us entered Essex five years ago. We sat in the auditorium in which you are sitting tonight. Our principal told us then that some night in the future we would be upon this stage to receive our gradua¬ tion diplomas—the reward for several years of hard work. And now that night has come. Here at Essex High we have been very fortunate; we not only have had a modem school which satisfied our physical needs, we have had more than that. We have had teachers who devoted all of their time to our futures--teachers who stayed after school many nights to help us through difficult parts of our courses. Then in addition to their academic duties, our instructors have organized trips and dances, produced plays and operettas and coached sports of all kinds. At this school we have grown socially and intellectually; we have learned to accept responsibility and to respect others. We graduates are gathered here tonight, perhaps for the last time. Wq shall take with us many happy memories of our days at Essex High. We are happy tonight, ' but we know that in the future we shall miss our teaohors and friends. We are grateful to all of you--paronts, teachers and friends who have made it possible for us to graduate tonight. Now that our high school work is finished, wo are looking forward to the future with enthusiasm. Some of us are going on to univorsity, others into training for a multitude of varying careers. Wo hope for success, but we aro also aware that we belong to the future, and that the responsibility for this nation will someday be ours. Wo know that our training here will stand us in good stead throughout our life. — Peter R.

7 . Receiving our Intermediate Certificates gives us satisfaction, and today will always be a memorable one in our lives. However, we must not oase up in our efforts and make this level our ultimate fulfillment In education. We all realize that we merely have constructed the foundation for higher studies which will present themselves to us this year and in the years to come.
