JUNIOR COMMENCEMENTS In December of 1960, Oakwood held its annual Junior Commencement Exercises. The students looking smarter and more elegant than ever, cheerfully accepted their Intermediate Certifi- cates which signified a major achievement in their educational careers. During the evening, awards were also given out to those students who had done exceedingly well in their studies. Throughout the festivities the band and choir ably entertained everyone in the auditorium. After all the awards had been given out, the students were invited to the games room to dance and partake of refreshments while the adults had tea in the cafeteria. In general the evening was a proud one for all concerned — students, parents, and teachers. SENIOR The Senior Commencement took place on Wednesday evening, November 9th, 1960. As the Oakwood Senior Orchestra, directed by Mr. B. Snell, played the traditional Graduation March, the 77 Honour Graduates and 135 Graduates en- tered the auditorium which was filled to capacity with justifiably proud parents, sisters, cousins, and aunts. Following the Hymn, the Invocation was given by Rev. Stuart B. Coles, B.A., and Mr. Tovell gave the Principal ' s Report. Then came the high- light of the evening — the Address by Mr. F.G. Gradiner, Q.C. Mr. Gardiner ' s speech was both witty and penetrating; using humorous examples and anecdotes, he stressed the need for higher education in this era, and also, as those who were present will recall, the need for doing one s homework . Miss Martha Brewin gave, in the Valedictory Address, an amusing view of five years at Oak- wood, as seen through a student ' s eyes, and even passed on a sure-fire method of escaping deten- tions ! After God Save the Queen while the adults had refreshments in the Cafeteria, the Grads headed to the magnificently decorated games room and enjoyed a very successful dance to bring a very outstanding evening to a close.
