SPEECH DAY This year Speech Day was held on Saturday, June 17th. The proceed- ings began at 10130 with the singing of O Canadan. Mr. John Nation, Chairman of the Board of Governors of St. Michaels University School, spoke very briefiy and set the precedents for the speeches which were to follow. This year the Headmaster's Report was printed and circulated to the guests as they arrived. Mr. Caleb. following the tradition that the Headmaster should say a few words. did just that and spoke for a very brief time. His speech was largely taken up with his most sincere thanks to all who had worked so hard to make our first arnalgamated year a success. The main speaker was Mr. David Anderson. M.P. for Esquimalt-Saanich in the Canadian Federal House of Commons. Mr. Anderson stressed to every boy that it was not necessary to wait for others to take the lead in matters great or small, quite often in his short experience he had discovered that waiting for someone else to do it meant that it was not done at all. He, therefore, discounted the necessity for waiting for leadership from others and made it quite clear that before him sat young men who would soon be taking their place in the leadership of our affairs. It was a great pleasure to welcome Mr. Anderson since he is an Old Boy of the Prep School. Prizes were then awarded fthe Prize List is appendedj. This year the Ker Cup was awarded jointly to R.J. Stelck and A.M. Souza and we congratulate them. Mr. R.H.B. Ker presented these cups. The Chapman Cup was presented by the Chairman of the Board to D. Hardman on behalf of Mr. Chapman. The Merit Shield for the outstanding boy in the Prep was presented to J. Ellis by Mr. K.W. Symons, a winner himselfin 1924. After lunch the School Sports were held and on the Sunday morning at 9:30 the final Chapel Service of the year was conducted by the Chaplain, The Rev. Blencoe, and, except for the Grade XIIS, who were staying to do the Matriculation exams, the first school year was declared closed. H.M. -14 -
