Seniors: Your class has been one that has gone through four years of high school while the nation was at war. It has been a hard and trying time. I know that you have been under a considerable strain. All of us have been. You are to be congratulated upon the serious- ness with which you approached your tasks in school and answered the many calls that were made on you. I am convinced that the youth that you represent are the finest that God has ever seen fit to place upon the earth. You are the inheritors of a great tradi- tion. Hundreds of our graduates, just like you, went out to do their part in the service of their country. Every one served with dis- tinction. Many gave their lives and by giving have hallowed their memory in this institu- tion. You are going out to serve, not in time of war, but in time of peace. May I remind you that service to your fellow man can be as noble, can be as grand, can be as heroic as any service in time of war. Blessed are the ways of peace. Set yourself a goal so that you too may serve with-distinction and be of some use to your fellow man. The way is open. It re- quires courage, determination and moral stamina. These have always been the requi- sites of leadership. In the name of our beloved predecessors I pass the challenge on to you. By being noble, the nobleness that lies in others sleep- ing but never dead, shall rise in majesty to meet thine own . J .C. NISBET Principal
