THE WHISPER 5 Our Appreciation of the Staff We, as students, cannot fully appre¬ ciate the work and comradeship of our teachers. Certainly we understand it takes experience and the more mature sympathy, which we do not yet possess, which has thus to be developed, to do this. Nevertheless we, in our first real Annual, dedicate this small space to those teachers, who are day by day car- lying out their duty in regard to our ed¬ ucation. Who can say what knowledge, what splendid code of honor, what in¬ spirations our fellowship with them has brought us ? In calling them “teachers” we impart new meanings to that old familiar word. Instructors, yes, but in¬ structors in all of life’s finest things— in Honor, Friendship and Idealism. And yet, if they feel reward in this, we will gladly tell them that we have appreciated their interest and, may we say, their love ? And that, as we leave school, even as we set aside this space for them, so in our hearts will we set aside a corner for them full of gratitude and the deepest feeling of friendship. DOROTHY JOHNSON Valedictory My title is misleading since we, as a smaller school, have no established grad¬ uation exercises. However, bearing in mind that we. as learned and venerable, nay wordly-wise, students of the Col¬ legiate in Grade Twelve, surely have the right at least to say our farewell and bestow all manner of advice on those who follow, this one article was set aside for that purpose. Wisdom has it that those who have had experience must surely be wiser than those who have not. Therefore, it is to be concluded that we, having had four years of chiefly homework, must be able to give advice to unwilling listen¬ ers. Whether that experience has rend¬ ered us sympathetic or not we only know that advice we have not. But we would like to say that we have found the teachers the best of companions and good sports and that if we must give advice let it be this—that you search for that same companionship we have found. Who can say what regrets we have when we realize that this is “the last.” How our emotions are aroused when we realize that never again will the exotic odor of H-2-S strike our nostrils during the double Physics spares, interrupting our concentrative energy. Never again will we hear the delighted chuckles rise from the blackboard when Mr. Trecarton, too, has enjoyed our youthful attempts at hilarity. Never again hear Miss Argue’s final benedic¬ tion “that will be all.” Never again join in the delightful rush for rubbers, to the intense pity of Mr. Harris. Never again, indeed, hear Miss Nelson’s wistful wish “if only you knew enough history to ask questions.” Nevertheless we leave our parting re¬ mark to the go-getters of the other grades, that the school is, next year and the years after that, in their hands and we’re sure they’ll carry it on nobly.
