M. H. S. REVIEW Page Fifteen 'lffalchittnrp While thanking the editor for giving me the privilege of contributing the Valedictory to this year's Review, I would like to congratulate the edi- torial starf and the school as a whole on this splendid publication. The undertaking on the part of an editorial stall' of editing a publi- cation such as this, is by no means, a small task. It has been said that, in life, it is only those things that we strive hard to accomplish that we real- ly appreciate. If this be true, then this Year Book should certainly be appreciated and I feel sure it will be. Through the necessary work of editing and publishing a Year Book. the pupils learn to work happily together to a common end. This does a great deal towards co-operation among the pupils in other endeavours. It also serves another worthy purpose, that of being an interpreter to par- ents, of the school and its various activities. In this way, it will show the older people that the youth of to-day is really accomplishing, at least, a few. true and worthwhile things, regardless of the prevalent criticism con- tray to this. The factor behind the Review is the Literary Society. This is one of important sides of High School education beyond the four walls of the class room. Here, the pupils are given an opportunity to participate in a wide range of work requiring and cultivating executive ability. The Literary meetings are held frequently throughout the year and are attend- ed by the entire student body. The programs are put on almost entirely by the pupils and are both enjoyable and instructive, and provide excell- ent opportunities for development along social, literary, and public speak- ing lines. Little need be said about another important phase of M. H. S. life. that of school athletics. In the past few years her athletic achievements have spoken for themselves. This success has only been possible by dil- igent and consistent training on the part of a large number of students, along with this, the excellent school spirit that has always been prominent in the school, has played no small part in her success along athletic and many other lines of endeavour. Our High Schools and Collegiate Institutes throughout the Dominion provide wonderful opportunities for development as individuals and as Canadian citizens. Through the medium of the Literary Society, school athletics and last but not least, the class-room, there are many advantages of self improvement to be gained. Proficiency in any one line carried to access may seem sweet for the time but it is not building the proper foundations for life. He, that would gain most from his years spent at High School, should strive to participate in all sides of school life. Some one has said that, As a man thinketli, so he is. Thus, as we live our lives at school, whether lop-sided or well-balanced will depend on how we are going to live them later on in the much harder game of life. Times flies. and M. H. S. will close its doors on many present pupils as it has done in the past. Then. many of our cherished friendships formed at school will be severed forever and many fond happenings and things that might have happened, will only be memories. So let us make hay while the sun shines and in whatever we do, let us work when we work. and play when we play. Personally altho' M. H. S. seems still near to me, as the days go by, so the realization of the true and worthy purpose a High School can serve its pupils, dawns on me. I feel that many ex-students will agree here, that our appreciation for M. H.S. grows almost in the degree that our criticism and fault finding increased as school days passed. LIONEL GIDLEY.
