1947 - 1948 17 GRADUATES NANCY WOOD: It’s Nancy that you always see Helping after school. A teacher is what she’s going to be, She really is a jewel. ARLIE CONLEY: Oh some pilot’s life will soon be jolly, With Air Hostess Arlie, But she’ll miss the Dorm and G.P. High, But home to us she will fly. HOWARD LIGHTFOOT: Howard Lightfoot is a bril¬ liant lad. He has two honour pins “Egad!” And he is good at ball and horseshoes, Surely that’s not bad. DEANE TOEWS: Who is that easy going fellow? As “Ruf” he’s known. Artistic, musical, athletic, He will pass on wit alone. AGNES LAWLOR: She’s the President of our Union, And Agnes is her name. She has worked these four years so willingly, In the world of secretaries she will surely make her fame. MARGARET O’BRIEN: Margaret, we owe a lot to you, For playing and singing with us, And you are a smart one for dancing too. Here’s wishing you lots of happiness. DENNIS McINTOSH: Oh Dennis McIntosh, he is handsome by gosh. He’s taken though gals, so don’t make eyes. When it comes to his life’s work he’ll be teaching from a book. At that job he will surely take a prize. PADDY JOHNSON: A brain of the school is Paddy, Successful he’s sure to be, Be it baron or electrician Co-operative is he.

16 G. P. H. S. JOYCE HNATIUK VALEDICTORY To every man there openeth A way, and ways, and a way, And the high soul climbs the high way And the low soul gropes the low, And in between in the misty flats The rest drift to and fro; But to every man there openeth A high way and a low, And every man decideth Which way his soul shall go. Saying good-bye is never a pleasant task, particularly at this time of year, when we realize how much we are leaving behind us. In grade ten, graduation seemed a long way off, but now at graduation it seems like only yesterday that we were starry-eyed new High School students; and here we are again with stars in our eyes at the top of an exciting hill. In the past four years we have grown physically and mentally, progressed morally and intellectually ; yet it is only now we appreciate the interest and patience shown by our teaehers. It is up to us now to determine which road we shall choose. Let us be a credit to our school, our teachers, and our parents; and choose the highroad to success. Joyce Hnatiuk.
