Mr. Simmonds and Dick Fox CLCCCL 6Ll,l,l 8CLf2 Three days of graduation activities be- gan in a flurry on May 3 as the seniors donned graduation gowns and adjusted their. mortarboards for the Baccalaureate Service. A few minutes before four on Sunday afternoon, students and faculty formed the procession which moved down Queens Avenue to Central Baptist Church. Solemnly the students entered the church to the strains of How Firm A Foundation. The faculty, impressively gowned according to their respective de- grees, followed. Choral selections were Praise Be To Thee and Pleasant Are Thy Courts. The ladies' trio sang the beautiful dedi- catory hymn Consecration. Guest speaker, Rev. E. I., Simmonds, M.A., B.D., Principal of Toronto Bible College, admonished the graduatm to look only unto jesus and become loving servants of His.

gyracluafion lt was so exciting exclaimed one of the seniors as she recalled the evening of graduation. Nervous chills ian up the spines of gowned grads as they wait- ed for their cue to enter the auditorium of the. H. B. Beal Technical and Com- mercial High School. The twenty-first annual commencement exercises were about to begin. Receiving of their degrees and diplo- mas was the moment the grads had been waiting for. As Rev. Frank Koksma, Registrar and Dean of Faculty presented the graduates one by one to Dr. Harris, all inwardly hoped they would make it across the stage without stumbling. Dr. Harris' warm handshake and knowing smile encouraged them and gave them new confidence as they knelt before him to receive their hoods and degrees or diplomas. Helen Hisey, Douglas German and Frank Rowe were presented with the General Proficiency awards by Dean Oakley. Margaret McDougall received the English award and Bill Paterson the Christian Service award. Dr. S. A. Witmer, Executive Director, Accrediting Association of Bible Col- leges, in his address, urged the graduates to completely surrender their lives in selfless dedication to the Lord. Pour out your lives for others, he exhorted, and then when you stand before Christ, you will be able to say, I was not disobe- dient to your ca1ling. 3'---1 Dr. S. A.
