THE NORTHUXND ECHO I5 Eehicatinn ln grateful appreciation for his services and devotion to our school, the Magazine Staff humbly dedicate this issue of the Northland Echo to our late Shop Director Mr. James L, Cleland. James Leiper Cleland was born at Carluke, Scotland, in the year l892. After receiving a sound Public and Secondary school training at Wishaw, Scotland, he attended the Glasgow Technical School where he distinguished himself as a scholar of high order. An indentured apprenticeship at Coltness Engineering Com- pany, Newmains, completed a broad and sound general education, ln l9l2 he left his native land for a position with the Ford-Smith Machine Company of Hamilton, Ontario. Promotions earned him the distinction of repre- sentative of the Firm in the British Isles from l9l4-l5. He accepted a position as head of the experimental depart- ment of Canadian Airplanes Limited in l9l6. During the first World War he resigned his position to serve as Tech- nical Officer in the Royal Air Force, at a time when his knowledge and skill were sorely needed. After the War he entered the teaching profession and continued as teacher until his untimely death. James Cleland was a sportsman, keenly interested in curling, fishing, hunting, bowling, and boating, Many will remember him as an active lodge member who never wearied of well-doing. And we of N. B. C. l. G V. S. pay tribute to his memory as a teacher, friend, and counsellor, -H. W. WILLIAMS -.I

THE NORTI-ILAND ECHO 17 EDITORIAL It seems significant, that in a world at war, the United States and Canada should be drawn closer than ever together-like old friends in time of need. There is none of the bitter and suspicious distrust, none of the unfriendly rival- ry, so common in Europe, existing between us and our great neighbour to the south. No greater evidence of our essential kinship may be found than the establishment of a Joint De- fence Committee at Ogdensburg, to ensure the effective defence and protection of our continent in the event of a hostile attack. This truly great step, on the part of our two nations, demonstrates to those who would sow disunity in our midst that we are, despite the vicissi- tudes of history, still one people, various in faiths and races, perhaps, but basically united. For this reason alone, it seemed to us eminently fitting that, for the first time in the history of our magazine, we should exchange copies of our yearbook with some of the schools south of the border. We hope that the pages of our book will help to communicate to you, our neigh- bours and friends, something of the life of an average student community in Canada. 'K K 41 Special mention must here be made in re- cognition of the invaluable services rendered by the various school organizations interested in contributing to the National War Effort. We congratulate particularly The Soldiers, Over- seas Committee for their work in sending boxes to ex-students now in the Canadian Army, the Junior and Senior Red Cross, for their assistance to the Local Red Cross Branch, the Marionette Club, the Camera Clubs, and all the students who are willing and able to invest in War Savings Stamps and Certificates. 'K-K-K We want everyone who contributed in any way to the success of this year's publication, to know that we sincerely appreciate their efforts . . . the Form Representatives, the Editorial, Business and Art Staffs, Miss Walker, Miss Macnamara, Mr. McCann, Mr. Dewar and all those who did special work for the magazine. And above all, remember that without the support of our advertisers, ninety-live in all, we could not publish this record of the yearis school activities . . . So please give them your patronage as much as possible. K+!-K We sincerely regret that two of our ex- students, Dick Milne and john Quinlan lost their lives in the service of their country. The school is proud of all those ex-students who are giving so unsellishly of their energies and talents to serve their country in whatever way they see fit And now, on with the magazine. We know that youire going to enjoy its pages. Marion Alford. VALEDICTO RY MARIAN ALFORD, GRADE 13 Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen: When I was asked to voice the farewell of this yearls graduating class, I was doubtful whether I should recall some of the many humorous incidents which have interspersed our school life, or whether I should dwell for these few moments on the thoughts which lay dor- mant in our minds until we found ourselves on the verge of graduation. Now we realize more vividly that we have reached another milestone. Although, as we have approached the day of graduation, we have relived the past few years at times, tonight we are again looking forward. We know that this milestone does not mark the final stage in our quest for knowledge yet it marks an important stage. From now on we shall learn through personal experience what we have been taught through the related experiences of others. It is difficult to voice, in this hour of mingled feelings, the thoughts which crowd in upon the mind of the graduate, affecting his or heri atti- tude toward graduation, and to present in a few moments the sum of our meditations. The words Thank you are inadequate with which to express our indebtedness to Principal Wal- lace and his staff of teachers-let us call them our friends. They understand the sentiment which we are unable to express. To-night they are looking beyond those words of gratitude in thought, and in hope, that one day we will ul- timately win through, and establish for others in this .day of struggle a memorial of our grati- tude which would refiect honour upon our name and upon this school of which we form a part. We may have thought that in a short time we would have done with this school, but tonight we know that we are a part of this school for as long as we live. For in this In- stitute of learning we have been taught, from year to year, to rise to higher levels of thought, and .to build now so that we will be prepared to take our place in a progressive world, that one day we will arrive at the goal of all our labours -a good name.
