Valedictory Mr. Chairman, Honoured Guests, Teachers, Fellow Graduates, Ladies and Gentlemen: I want to thank the teachers for selecting me to do the valedictory ad¬ dress, and hope I can express the feelings and thoughts of th e graduates of the class of ’60. Do you remember, fellow graduates, way back when we first came to Miles Mac. as “freshies”, a little unsure about high school life? It is really not so long ago, but so many things happened between now and then, it is hard to believe that it did take place in such a short span of time. Do you remember that first freshie dance, the Christmas dance, the Exams, the operetta, and oh, a hundred other things? Before we realized it the year was over and we had passed to grade eleven. Again opening day came with some new faces and new rooms, but it was not quite so strange. Then came the dances, the freshie, and the Christmas, but this time, we were “top dog’’. Next we plunged into our exams, then the fun in the variety concert. We were constantly kept busy with our studies and with our various activities and clubs such as curling, bowl¬ ing, science, drama, badminton, and square dancing. We had our Easter exams and our field day. We had our “lemon’s ade’’, that is the prelude to graduation, the last call for dates, the feverish activity and now finally: To-day is graduation day. For most of us it is a “jumping off place” in our lives, the transition stage between adolescent and adult. Some of us will be going out to meet the world; some to higher fields of study. To all, the years will bring new experiences, new challenges. 32
