Following a processional and singing of the school song. Rev. A. Eikenaar, Minister of Tabernacle Baptist Church, read the invocation. Our Principal, Mr. T. P. Steadman welcomed those in attendance, and then called upon Mr. D. Gray to give a few words of greeting from the Windsor Board of Education.

Mr. Silcox and Mrs. Langmaid made the presentations to the following students: 13A—Dianne Campbell; 13C—Jean Aitkenhead; 12C—Elliott Ouellette; 1 2A—John Blacklock, Ann Grant, Carol Talbot, Marylou Richards, Carolyn Dietzel; 12B— Judy Prier; 11A—Mary Holden, Christine Boyd, Marilyn Green, Marie Pitlick, Judy Hickson, John McKenzie; 11C— Dorothy Garrod; 1OA—Jim Silcox, Audrey Bell; 10B— John Mitchell; 10C1—Marlene Robert; 10C2—Margaret Ferber; 1 OD—Leisha Nazarewich, Katherine LePage; 1OE— Betty Matthews, Marven Oxley, Karen Slote,- 9B—Peter Westlake; 9C—Dwight Yellowage; 9D—Madeline Boyce; 9E—Susan Dougall; 9F—Roland Herbst; 9G—Robert Warren, Diana Bellringer; 9H—Katherine Tritjak; 9J— Brian Griffiths, and Sandra Tobin. The Ser vice Pins were then presented by Miss D. Scarfone and Mr. D. Mallender. They had the pleasant task of rewarding those students who had freely given their time and energy to promote Forster ' s extra-curricular activities. Jerome Delaurier and John Blacklock received their pins for their much appreciated contributions in the field of drama. John ' s pin was also presented in recog¬ nition of his assistance to the Spartalogue acting as assistant editor. Diane Bowen, Elaine Dockeray and Dorothea Churchill each received a pin for their services on the library staff. Ann Elgar received a pin for musical con¬ tributions as the pianist for the Glee Club; Trevor Wright and Adam Bosnyak for expert Cadet leadership; Kenneth Patterson for serving in the band; Neil Wightman and David Robinson for their faithful and dependable service during assemblies; Robert Allan for his spirited participation in the Forster Forum; Marjorie Dubs and Janet Kidd both received service pins for their energetic participation in the role of cheerleaders, while Richard Riseborough and Stan Fraser received their pins for management of the football and basketball teams respectively. Pins were also awarded to Ann Grant for her work as editor of the Spartalogue, and to Marion Patrick for her services as advertising editor. The presentation of Public Speaking awards was ably handled by Mrs. A. Sparling and Miss L. Mitchell. One of the highlights of the evening occurred when Dianne Campbell and Karen Carter were presented with W.S.S.A. medals for winning the senior and junior girls division respectively. In addition to winning both their school and city contests, both girls were presented with shields for winning in their respective divisions in the W.O.S.S.A. contests. A special cup was also presented to Dianne for her public speaking achievements. Dianne ' s name was the last to be placed on the cup; consequently, it will be retained by the school. Miss Mitchell presented the Malcolm Fursey Shield to Dianne Campbell and John Blacklock for their contributions to Public Speaking in the school. Karen Carter and Jim Silcox both received prizes for winning in the junior divisions. At this point in the programme. The Girls ' Choir under the fine direction of Mr. M. MacDonald provided a musical interlude. Three selections were rendered: Dona Nobis Pacem , Where E ' er You Walk , and Serenade . Miss V. Philpot gave a brief story of the background of the principal speaker of the evening, and then graciously introduced Miss Agnes Ireland, First Secretary at the Canadian Embassy, Washington, D.C., who had formerly been a student of this school. In her address to the 1 958 graduating class. Miss Ireland stressed that quality must always be placed over quantity. In their lives ahead, the students must try to become an aristocracy amongst their fellow men. They must seek to become the best in whatever field of endeavour they may choose. The presentation of Graduation Diplomas was made by Mr. D. Skoyles and Mr. A. R. Heaton. The school happily welcomed back Miss H. Gurney, a former Forster teacher, to aid in the presentations. A total of fifty-four students received their diplomas. Mrs. P. Haeberlin, Mr. G. Gessell and Mr. L. Whittaker, a former member of the Windsor Board of Education, presented Graduation Diplomas to twenty-one graduates of the Commercial Course. Before the presentation of Honour Graduation Diplomas, Mr. C. R. MacLeod, Assistant Director of Education, told the students that they must continue to work hard, and strive toward their goals. Aiding him in presenting the honours, were Miss M. E. McIntosh, and Mr. W. J. Ellis. In all, twenty students received their well-earned diplomas. Proof that the students had striven toward excellence, and had indeed earned their diplomas was found in the fact that a total of over 4,200 dollars was presented in scholarships and bursaries to worthy students. Present a¬ tions were made by Miss M. Weller and representatives of the donors. Mr. H. M. Brown, vice-principal of the school, assisted by Mrs. A. Liddell, bestowed Forster ' s greatest award, the honour pin. It was given to Nora Jean Boyd, Dianne Campbell, James Leishman, Margaret Sparling and Margaret White, in recognition of their invaluable leadership in all phases of high school life. An excellent valedictory address was then presented by Dianne Campbell. After reminiscing a little, Dianne ex¬ pressed her appreciation of all the efforts that the teachers had put forth on behalf of the students. She hoped that some day the graduates would merit the kind words that had been said about them. To conclude the evening, refreshments were served in the cafeteria where a reunion was held for graduates and their friends and relatives. —Jim Silcox.
