With this idea half formulated in our minds as motivation, only ten short months ago we first entered our Dome and assembled in this same hall in which we are seated to-day. Expressions of curiosity, ambition and intelligence were upon our faces as we received a hearty welcome from our principal, Mr, Beacom. Throughout the year we have worked hard together and have completed the course which has been given to us, we are now ready to step into our puzzled world to help the peoples of all nations to bring about self-reverence, self-knowledge, self-control, We have come together thus far as a group, and we have been looking forward together to this time as the happiest in our lives, forgetting, however, that it was also going to mean a time of parting, Now this reality is suddenly thrust upon us, and in spite of the triumph this day holds for us, it bears a note of sadness, Wherever each of us may be, though miles apart, let us keep in our hearts the words of the Old Testamenti AP0l'A'lIA'l' not 1111 old friend, for H11' iivzv is not Colzzfvaralrlv unto Ililll, -J 110iuf1'i1'11d is Iikv cz zuiizej iulzmz it is 010' H1011 shalt drizzle it witlz pI0as111'c'. , For a few moments in this our last assembly let us recall a number of incidents about our year at Teachers' College which will remain as unforgettable memories in the years to come, First, let us look upon our assemblies, l-low we drifted together every morning at eight forty-five like a flock of sheep before scattering into the pastures! lvlost of us were present only physically, yet trying to look intelli- gent, and how warmly we greeted anyone or anything which might prolong our gathering! Then, who of us will ever forget our first lesson? Through our minds went these words of Macbeth: gl 'H11d I but dfvcl' an lzoui' Iwforc ZLIIIIA' FXHIIICC, I had Iiwd 11 blessed fI'1lZ6'.U Remember, too, the gay times and decorations at our formal dances and social evenings. lt was here that most of us met for the first time, and it was here also that were formed some until death do us part attachments - congratulationsl Lesson plans, concrete material Y- these are unforgettable, and let me warn you - do not for- get tour weeks out of town, because in most casts the town will never forget you. Let us conclude thcge fcw memories with a rule of the masters: lI11'z'0 11111111 H1011 H1011 .tl10'zu1's1', ,S'f1'111r loss H1r111 H1011 k11cm'1'5f. ' To the masters, who have trained us with endless patience, we are very grateful, not only for ilicir guidance but even more for drawing from us whatever qualities of intellect and leadership we :assess We, the students, hopefully trust that the years to follow may demonstrate to their sat- ifccticn, as well as to our own, that this period under their guidance was indeed the basis for our rl 172535. lwA,f last words are directed to you, my fellow classmates, You may hear people say that they .uoulc like to be chosen to express these last words, however, in my estimation these seem the hardest if all i. fi,i prds to say, and l'd rather that someone else would be the one to say them. For those last ',grfj'g rruet be to many, if not to all of us, Good-bye and good luckl Let ua all, as we now take our separate ways, keep in mind the words Lord Brougham used More the ttcuse of Commons in l8283 The Schaolmaster is abroadl And l trust more to him, armed with his primer, than l do 're ,steer in full military array, for upholding and extending the liberties of his country. 'l'hf,rf,fr,re l say unto every one of you ---- take care how your present actions may affect , 4 ' ,, .mlj J LADISTON SKUBE, I-GE 40
