Valedictory By PATRICK M. MAHONEY F EW of us have not felt, at one time or another during the past short months, a little out of our depth. We wondered wnether we might not just as well be taking Reeling, Writhing, Mystery—ancient and modern, and those other subjects taught by the Old Crab at Lewis Caroll’s submarine school. The cliche of the year, that well known wail of each English student—“I haven’t got a clue!”—was the symptom of our affliction; the cure, we soon learned, is work, more work, harder work. We, who have been fortunate enough to take our first year varsity at Mount Royal College, found ourselves in an institution where the faculty can and does take a real interest in the work and progress of each student. As we leave M.R.C., we are grateful; but it will be the next few years, in the large universities, that will make us appreciate the value of the college in our transition from the service or from high school to university. A person of a poetic turn would have found plenty of inspiration for a lyric during the past weeks but, being of a somewhat prosaic mind, we’ll just mention a few themes. Thanks Gus. Your emporium is an integral part of Mount Royal life. Many is the time, having failed to become enthused over the Law of Diminishing Utility, we drowned our sorrows in your good brew, and many is the noon hour we spent in one of your booths in session with the local yokels. Thanks faculty, for a great sense of humor; for the jokes at which we had to laugh, in lectures, and the ones at which we could not help laughing, too. Thanks for your participation in our social functions, for the great melodrama, the music hall ditties of a certain Latinist and the very success¬ ful work of our Math instructor with the orchestra. Thanks Daisy, for letting us use the phone. Above all, thanks Mount Royal, for the new friends, now old friends. This year has shown us what we must look forward to before we gain the goal labelled “Success”. As we draw near that goal, we shall see the plainly printed subtitle “Duty”. If we properly use the privilege of uni¬ versity education, we shall perform our duty to the people of the world and, in doing so, shall attain true success. 26
