Besides all the material things that will be erected to mark the Centenary we need some spiritual things, like a rededication to the principles of the democratic way of life., Anyone can copy out a constitution and translate the dems' ocrat ic ideal into the machinery of self-governmento lt takes a great in- sight by statesmen and sympathetic understanding by every citizen to devise a practical system of democratic government which will suit the needs and character of the people. To be a patriotic Canadian does not mean that we hate n every country but our own. If a man wishes his country to prosper but neva: er at the expense of other countries, he is at the same time an intelligent patriot and a citizen of the world. We do not on the occasion of our Centenary seek to impose our ideas or our way of life on others, but we do believe that in the course of our history we have discovered some great truths which can help all man: kind. Everyone of us froni east to west, and north to south, what-1 ever his background, his creed, his col.our, his economic staturemsevery-2 one has a vital interest in seeing Canada endure., Only by a union of its people can a country be prepared for the ambushes set by chance and changer The little states of Greece destroyed themselves by their egotism, their jealousies, and their struggle for rights against the othero Citizenship needs a rededication periodically if it isnlt to lose it's significance., So let's make 1967 Citizenship Year for all Canadians., We have not inherited citizenship as something to have and to hold without effort. Every generation has to earn its own citizenship, and we need to remind ourselves periodically about its values and its obligationso For citizenship is more than the right to voteg it is the art of living togetheru As the procession of this century of years passes in ref- view, each year decked with its crown of laurel leaves for achievement and it chaplet of rosemary for memories, we must remind ourselves that l967 will take place in the cavalcade. Then recalling Tennysonls words, we shall enter the future knowing that, Mind and soul, according well may make one music as be: fore but vaster, Pat McMillan 12B

OUR GRADUATION BANQUET For about three days before our long-awaited Graduation banquet, the boys of grade thirteen were rushing to and from Home EC, about every other period making rolls, jellied salads, strawberry short- cake, peeling potatoes and stuffing turkeys., The rest of the class felt that the food might be slightly questionable, I mean what with Larry mak- ing rolls and Chris stuffing turkeys and swearing held lost a finger in the procedure but we were in for a big surprise. Finally on Jan, lOth, 1962, the big night arrived., Peter Parkinson called the guests to order and proposed a toast to the Queen, After grace which was said by Mr, Cline, we all sat down to a scrumptu- ous banquet which can best be described by a glance at the menu, The Menu Jellied Salads rolls Roast Turkey Relishes Cranberry Sauce Mashed Potatoes Mixed Vegetables Strawberry Shortcake Coffee Punch Larry, the rolls were really delicious and Chris the dressing was good, I notice your finger grew again in a hurry. After the punch had been served, our toastmaster, Peter Parkinson welcomed the high school board members and their wives: Mr., 8: Mrs., Ledlow, Mr, 8: Mrs. Gallagher and Mr. 8: Mrs, Moon. Eleanor Gallagher gave the toast to the Alma Mater, expressing the mem orable feelings that all of the graduating class would have towards the Alma Mater. Miss Dorland, in her reply on behalf of the school, gave her good wishes to the graduates and reminded us of all we had learned at O, D. I-I, S, besides schoolworkt The Music in my heart I bore, Long after it was heard no more, I'm sure none of us will every forget the rousing sing-song which Mr, Attridge so ably lead with the help of Maxine Overland at the piano. Such songs as as one warm
