Students and Friends: As we stand upon the threshold of life. bidding farewell to the associations and fellow- ship of our high school vears, we pause to take account of thc world into which we are going and the life upon which we are about to enter. Yfe who are graduating find our- selves facing a rapidlv changing world in which the old and accepted vvavs are being cast aside and the new quicklv adopted. As we look at the world at this tirrre. our emotions are varied. Xve are leaving a life of securitv and pleasant memories: we are facing a life of trials and uncertainties, True. the past few vears too have held rnanv trving and anxious nronreuts for us.. but svmpathetic cornradeship has smoothed the rough places and made happv our davs. .Xs we look bark. it is vvith regret that we leave this life be' hind: as we look forward. it is with some little trepidation that we face the problems and struggles ahead, But our vears at Guelph Collegiate Vocational Institute have done much to make us fit to take our place as good citi, tens in our democratic societv. In our academic training we believe we have been prepared to face and to overcome more confidentlv and more capablv the prob- lems and difficulties we rnust nreet. We have learned to work efficientlv, We have developed habits of industrv. and we have been taught not only to take orders cheerfullv but also to accept responsibilitv in a conscientious manner. Particularlv we feel and hope that we have gained an insight and vision which will en- able us to see our dutv plainlv and to find beautv and enjovment in the ordinarv round of life. It is a well known fact that ganres plav an important part in a well integregated school programme. Thev provide an adequate means of knowing our fellow students and fostering school spirit. In the fall season the bovs took to the rugbv field and inter-school meets, while the girls admired their plavs from the sidelines. During the winter the screams and cheers of the students echoed through the halls as the boys fought for the glorv of the school on the basketball floor. The Corn- mencement partv and the At Home were all events to look forward to. and back rrpon. with pleasure. The rousing election of our Student Council and the work it did for us: Acta Nos- of a few good times we have tra. a record enjoyed here-all are things that we think of now. and later life we spent in this shall think of again when, in reminisce upon the good davs school. To reflect on these things in the days to coure will bring to mind the faces of those ue learned to call friends. the happy comrade- ship we have enioved in sharing criticisms. iov and sadness. good davs and bad. the sweat and tears of examinations. the marching in of assetnblv. No word can ease the pain of parting: to each of us the C-oodbves are poignant though precious. just how vvell we have learned our lessons here remains to be seen. That we have not learned thern perfectlv is certain: that we have not learned them better is our regret. Often our efforts have fallen below our best: often ug have passed our opportunities heedlesslv hv. lf vve rnav he allowed to give a word of advite to those vvho follow us. we should sug- gest that thev profit bv our failrrres and be warned bv our mistakes. so that when thev arrive at the point that we have now reached thev nrav have learned their lessons better and be more fullv' prepared to tnee' wlratever lies in store for them. .Xnd now ut' speak to the staff of thc Cluelplr Collegiate Vocational Institute. l'articul.nlv we nrerrtion our associations vvitlr our principal. Mr. Hamilton. Bv vour example, Sir. von have given us an ideal, and in vou we have found one vvho calls forth our respect and admiration. Nlav we pav a well-merited tribute to all our teachers. Xve will be the ones to reap the benelit of vour conscientious efforts. The standards whith vou, our teachers and friends. have set as an example will alwavs be an ins- piration to us. and a goal for us to strive toward. Your judgment. vour help and votn kind understanding have meant a great deal to us, and in leaving success and happiness. of For-tv Seven we felt Thank You . Also we cherish a wish for our G.C.V.I. Mav it go we ,wish von continued On behalf of the class speak our most heart- on. both to grow and to prosper. continuing on the high level, academic and otherwise, which we believe it has alwavs nraintained in the past. XVe repeat that as we go forth we take with us vears of lrappv davs and pleasant memories. resulting from the associations we have had here. NYC face a world of doubt and perplexities: vet for us it is a world of hope. because of the training and inspira- tion we have received. Kfav.we. the class of Fortv Seven . ac- cept the challenge which meets us and grasp the opportnnitv which is ours To each is given a bag of tools. A shapeless trtass and a book of rules, And each mrrst build, e'er life is flown .X stumbling' block. or a stepping stone. 1,
