VALEDICTORY ADDRESS As you look over the graduating class you may be wondering how it is possible that those bright-eyed, freckle-faced, frog-catching rascals of a few years ago are already graduating. Well, however hard to be¬ lieve it may be, here we are - the graduating class of Niverville Collegiate. We have reached a bend in the road and are about to leave the stretch of road which led us through twelve years of school, but be¬ fore we do this we pause for a moment to look back over these years. Twelve years ago we started out as excited yet confident beginners. Our confidence grew as we sailed through the first eight years playing cops and robbers and singing Old Macdonald . In high school we began to take things a bit more serious. As studies became more difficult and required more mature thinking our whole life seemed to mature sudden¬ ly. Slowly we began to forget our childish romances and our tiddly-winks and began thinking of our future. The path seemed to become narrower and rougher. Now instead of the usual broken windows we had an ex¬ plosion in the laboratory. Instead of whizzing through a spelling quizz we were stumped by trigonometry and Physics. As the road grew rougher the smooth spots were more appreciated. Long will we remem¬ ber the things like our I. S. C. F. tobogganing party and the school bowling outing. As a whole these past years have been successful ones. We have, with the aid of our noble teachers and with the encouragement of our wonderful classmates, come to this first bend in the road unscathed. This service tonight signifies the completion of these years of guidance and teaching and as we step around the bend in the road we see before us a wide gulf of opportunities. Suddenly dawns on us the truth that now we must decide for ourselves which turn to take. There we see the path of least resistance tempting us with big wages and flowery terms. Next is the path called self, which promises honor and prestige. Lastly we see the path of service. Here we see no promises of wealth or glory or ease, instead we see hard work, self-sacrifice, and tears, and yet we somehow sense that this is where we will find true happiness. An inner voice seems to urge us to take this path of service and to live our lives for others and for God. Soon we must leave our resting place and venture out onto this path. God grant that we might be steadfast and faithful in this path of service. Before going any further I would like to express our thanks as graduates to all our friends who have been concerned about our education, to our school board without which our school could not operate, to our teachers who have been patient and eager to help even when we rebelled, and especially to our dear parents who have been ever faithful and loving and who have sacrificed and laboured so much to give us the education we need. Without your combined assistance we could not be standing here as the graduating class and we would again thank-you sincerely for all you have done. To the undergraduates and especially the Grade Elevens I say this: Keep at your studies for this world needs educated men and women to help carry it safely on and God needs you to serve mankind. May we all be found worthy, when we arrive at the end of the road, of the words of the Master Well done, thou good and faithful servant. --EVELYN WOHLGEMUT

STUDENT COUNCIL STANDING: Gerald Enns, Paul Heinrichs, Roy Toews, Victor Redekop, Secretary. SITTING: Marie Rudd, Elvin Enns, President; Harold Fuchs, Vice-President; Mr. Toews, Staff Advisor. PRESIDENTS MESSAGE As we are again drawing near to the conclusion of another term, I would like to take this opportunity to express my appreciation to the stu¬ dents for electing me their school president. It is an honour to have this trust bestowed upon oneself and the experience is rewarding. Looking back on the past year I am filled with a deep satisfaction to have been a part of the collegiate. Progress has been made. For some of the students this will be the last year of formal edu¬ cation, while others will continue in college or university. For all of us the education which we have acquired in elementary and secondary school will serve as pur guide, in the future whether we continue our education or not. Therefore it is necessary that we have a good scholas¬ tic background so that we will be able to meet the challenges confronting us in later life. At this time I would like to thank the students for their cooperation in the work on the committees. Without this co-operation it would have been impossible to experience the success which they had in their various activities. I would also like to extend my sincere wish for success to the gradu¬ ates. May you all attain the goals for which you have been striving. May you recall your stay in the Niverville Collegiate as time well spent and a job well done. Elvin Enns.
