COLLECIAN, I9 30 Vaferfzrfory of Gftlflllldfllllg Cfzzys 0 f I 930 NCE more the school year draws to a close as again the spring days lengthen and life and nature return. We see about'us the familiar sights and hear the sounds of the returning season-babbling brooks and singing birds and budding woods - as we look back over the year just past and forward to the year shortly to follow. But behold, a year follows which is not associated with the familiar class-room. in the old school on the hill, and we realize with a sudden pang of sorrow, as also of vague expectation and excitement, that we have reached the parting of the ways, and our years of Colleg- iate life are gone forever. Parting is such sweet sorrow. We can hardly believe that it is so. But yesterday, it seems, we were ushered into the great mysterious corridors, already men and women in our own estimation, at the beginning of a high school career But yesterday we had viewed before us five long, interminable years of assiduous labour, and now today we find ourselves about to step out into the world. 1No! it is not with that boundless joy and freedom which we had then thought to experience, but rather with a feeling of sadness. Memory recalls to us the smiles, the tears, of boyhood's years, as we see again in the mind's eye our old companions, departed, so many of them, forever. Again we are in that little old first form far down in the base- ment or in some outside school. The theme cf all our poems, our stories, our talk - the new school which will never come. Second year dawns, and lo! it is here. All our dreams and hopes are realized, as again we sit in bright and airy rooms and feel awaken- ing within us an unexpected love for our surroundings. And now as we return in our third year there is a vacant chair. Our principal, our venerable white-haired principal of some forty years has left us. With deepest regret we see him depart, with most sincere happiness we welcome his successor, another honored friend and re- spected teacher - Mr. Sprung. And so in our brief five years of school life, we the graduating class of 1930 tif we do graduatej have witnessed some very sweeping changes in the old school. lt is now-in third, fourth and fifth formls, that we are thorougly imbued with school spirit. We know now the meaning of the red and green, its associations throughout the years - and we are proud to realize that under that banner many a famous man and woman has gone out into the world. We begin to wonder about our own future and realize that we shall soon be away from the kindly shelter-out braving the storms of life, and with no armour but that which we have forged in these school days. Olnly when we are about to leave it do we realize what Collegiate has meant to us. The actual information gleaned from our study books constitutes but one small pait of the many-sided training and exper- ience that we have received. Here in school we have formed ties and habits never to be broken, habits to grow on us and model our lives and guide our feet in the years to come. We see now that there has been a purpose, and a worthy one. We must have learned reliability, we must have learned discipline of self and these lessons we must carry with us into the world that we may up-hold the faith of the Union Jack even in upholding the faith of the red and green. And we must be worthy of these colours and that name. Tradi- ...4 8...
