SPEECH DAY Only once before in the past twenty years has this day been marred by bad weather. For days before and days after the sun shone mag- nificently, but on june lst. the rain, which had started the previous evening, came down in a steady downpour from morn to night. For- tunately, we had possibly the most amusing speaker in many years to give the Speech Day address, and in the morning the weather outside the Gym could be completely ignored. Just before proceedings com- menced Dr. Huston handed to the Headmaster his Curriculum Vitae in order that his introduction might be facilitated. As Dr. Huston has now joined the Board of Governors this Curriculum Vitae is printed in full elsewhere and, as to do it justice would have required an intro- duction as long as the Headmaster's Report, Dr. Huston was intro- duced merely as the father of Bryan Huston fwho graduated in 1962 and is best known, perhaps, as an outstanding Scrum Halfj, and as the new member of the Board of Governors. In the midst of this humorous address Dr. Huston interposed words of wisdom and advice which, because of the manner in which they were delivered, will prob- ably be remembered for a long time to come. His theme was the time to shoot the bears is when the bears are around,', and that to shoot bears you need a high-powered rifle and not a mere slingshot. In other words, the boys were advised to take advantage of their present situation and the opportunities offered them at school and to get the most they possibly could out of it. Dr. Huston was thanked by Richard Barker as Head Prefect and by the Chairman of the Board. The list of Prize Winners is attached and particular note was given to the Governor General's Silver Medal awarded to Robert Oakley, as this was the first occasion on which a School in Western Canada had been included in the Governor General's list of awards.
