JUNIOR COLLEGE VALEDICTORY I am proud to have the honor of giving this valedictory, and I hope I can do it with humility. It is said that, “Faith blazes the trail, intelligence builds the avenue.” We began our journey along this avenue in various High Schools across the continent and now have travelled together for a time here at Mount Royal. Now we separate to continue our studies down different avenues of learning. We, the 1959 graduating class of Mount Royal College are preparing to take our place as citizens in this disturbed and uneasy world. While here at Mount Royal we have had instilled in us a great desire not only for intellectual advancement but, through classes, clubs, social functions, sports and student councils, we have had a chance to gain a true education in terms of cultural background, practical experience, and per¬ sonal development. We, as students, have at times felt overwhelmed when presented with the task of learning so much. At times I think our teachers have felt concerned with our progress, for they know the value and necessity of the subjects they have taught us, and the high standards which are necessary. For this we should give them our sincere thanks. Without their effort, their concern, their untiring work, their loyalty and faith in us we would not be graduates of Mount Royal College today. Mount Royal is placing its faith in us to uphold the honor and heritage of the college. Some of us will continue to other universities where Mount Royal graduates before us have studied with high honor. Some of us will venture into the business world where Mount Royal graduates are leaders in their field. Wherever we go the avenues ahead will present a personal challenge to all of us. We must have faith in ourselves to meet the problems that lie ahead and be prepared to play our part in solving them. The late Sir Robert Baden Powell (Chief Scout) said “No man can be called educated who has not a willingness and desire, as well as trained ability, to do his part in the world’s work.” Our college has given us our training; the willingness and desire to use it must come from within our¬ selves. Only in this way can we find the main road to happiness, prosperity and contentment. Only in this way can we have faith in ourselves. Only in this way can we justify the faith that our parents, our college and teachers have placed in us. Let us face the future then full of faith, courage, hope and steady hearts and a buoyancy and power to ride out the storms of life. I quote: Come, Courage, come, and lake us by the hand Gird us with faith A radiant faith to see beyond the present And guide us into avenues that are yet to be. Paul Gattey
