You are indeed fortunate to be attending Port Perry High School this year, which will see the momentous and history-making Coronation of our beloved Queen, Elizabeth the Second, May we ask you to join with us in giving to her our devotion, love, and loyalty which we think she so richly deserves. 'May we always regard our gracious Queen as the symbol of freedom and our way of life, freedom to choose our occupation, religion, and speech.'. c May we honour this year by giving attention to our inherited language, English, by giving our best in the speaking, writing, and reading of this our precious heritage. ' ' 'f , W ' Our language is a fair indication of our personality, character, background, education, experience, judgment, and thoughtfulness. We are helped or retarded more than we realize by what we say, and no one can over estimate the tremendous advantage of gracious and well chosen words. May we give them, God's great gifts to mankind, the place in our lives which they rightfully deserve, having due regard to the rights and aspirations of our fellow men. , ' Lorne Tyndall
