5 R. L. WHITNEY Principal’6 Tle acfe ... to the students of our Composite High School and in particular to those who for three years have braved the rigors of pioneer life in our commodious school, have come up smiling every time, and now go out to new fields of endeavor. I do not claim that I really have more to say than what I have just implied—that I am proud to be associated with you in this good work of building up what has already become one of Canada’s noted rural High Schools. As a teacher one can usually say the same thing over and over and over again and not become too boring, for there is always the chance that he may be saying it to a new class. But it is terrible to find these repetitions in print. Teachers, like students, should grow—and it is with shame I note that I have been too busy trying my hand at amateur cottage-building, gardening or mountain climbing, and have made no improvement in my literary skill. But since I never did learn to write I will pass up that regret and tell you of the thing that really makes me unhappy. I wish I were able to teach all the students who honor us with their presence. I am not implying that you have lost anything, for you have good teachers; but it is much nicer to know people in the classroom, struggling with new lessons or helping the teacher when he is in difficulties, than to see them only when they are late or have been hitch-hjking home in school hours, or have been rough with the furniture. However, to many of our thirty teachers you are well known and your activities, your abilities, your adaptability, your willingness to help, your industry, your team- play have all been noted and the teachers are very glad, at any time, before or after you leave school, to speak or write a good word on your behalf. You need not hesitate to use any of our names as a reference nor to write to the school to ask for a letter of recommendation. I hope you had plenty of fun at school, for there is always plenty of work and one is complementary to the other jn the best kind of living. I hope you did not “go steady” and got to know as many of the girls and boys as you could for it is your business to know people, to get along with people and often to lead people. You should not try to live with one person until you have learned to enjoy the good fellowship of a great number of people and have learned somthing of the type with whom you can best live and enjoy whatever is good in life. Life in the dormitory and to a lesser extent at school is really a great privilege when you have become old enough to be away from home. You have made a good thing of dormitory life here and have built traditions that make worthy “footprints on the sands of time.” And all your life you should find of value the lessons you have learned in forebearance and in accepting graciously, giving generously and helping wherever your services can be of use. I wish you all a wonderful summer vacation. Whether it means a job or a holiday by ocean or mountains, it will be a goodly change from school life. Those of you who come back here will form a nucleus for good school life next term and the others will be giving their best in new surroundings, perhaps with a little nostalgia for C.H.S. but always pressing on to the “best that is yet to be.”
