ACTA NOSTRA I5 it afevflclloz 'seam By Lfzztlu llfffllllllfl Mr. Reid, Teachers, Honoured Guests and Friends: Valediction and Commencement - a last larewell and the beginning ol a new lile. lVhat memories these words will bring back to us in the years to come -memories of a hne school, hue teachers and dear friends! lVe graduates ol 1956, general. counnercial and teclmical, are gathered here to-night to pay tribute to the Guelph Collegiate-Vocational lnsti- tute and to express our thanks lor a task well done. The years spent here have done much to mould our lives and shape our char- acters. The inlluence ol our teachers and ol' each other will remain with us lorever. The school to which we say larewell to-night will always be a part ol us. lVe are indeed products ol our environment. Let us pause then, lor a moment, and reminisce. Let us turn our thoughts backward to the time when we Hrst en- tered yonder door. How uncertain we were-hlled with misgivings and trepida- tion as we found our way to our respec- tive classrooms. Then, as the days sped by. slowly bitt surely our fears and doubts melted away. YVe began to feel that our leet were firmly planted on deck and that, perhaps, we would reach port salely. Our confidence was not mis- placed, Guided by expert hands we snrmounted every obstacle and arrived at our destination. At this time and on behalf of all the graduates. I should like to express our thanks to the teachers who worked so far beyond the call of duty and who gave their best that we might succeed. The headaches and heartaches ol unlin- ished homework, missed classes, indiller- ence and laziness did not cause them to lalter 011C iota or to waver in their purpose. Our only hope is that our lives may in some way rellect their steadlast- ness and devotion to the cause ol educa- tion. lVhat now lies belore us? XVe step shoreward to a land ol opportunity and challenge, where the bounds ol' achieve- ment are limited only by individual lrailty. Canada needs us and we are proud to be Canadians. XVe must square our shoulders, dismiss all meanness and triviality and look onward to the larger part ot' lile. Freedom is our most cherished posses- sion. As good Canadian citiiens it is our duty to imaintain, uphold and delend that lreedom. At the same time we should practise tolerance lor the beliels and ideals ol. other races. As graduates of one of the best educational systems in Canada, we ought to take an active interest in maintaining the democratic way ol' lile. Let ns become concerned with our government-its aims, its poli- cies, its achievements. Let us become voting graduates, lt is our wish to live in peacelul co-existence with others. ll this ideal proves to be untenable. then we must be prepared to pay the price ol' living in a democratic Canada. Our parents, our schools and our churches have done their best to guide us along the proper path ol' lile. To them, we owe a debt. which will be repaid only when we, as adult Canadian citizens. pass on this glowing torch with steady hands to those who follow after.
