THE PRINCIPAL ' S MESSAGE “From ocean unto ocean, the world o’er, Thy praise, Sunalta, we proclaim once more The classes past have glorified thy name Your wondrous deeds have magnified thy fame.” Would that you, the graduating classes of Sunalta Junior High School, might carry with you your splerdid spirit of co-operation and achievement in whatever role it may be yours to play in the succeeding years. Refrain from despair, accept re¬ sponsibility as an opportunity; it may be accompanied by criticism, dissatisfaction and disencouragement, but such is to be preferred to escapism. Robert E. Sherwood tells us: “We are armed with more bitter experience, more profound knowledge, than any generations that ever were in the history of the world. If we can ' t use this experience and this knowledge then the human story is really finished and we can go back and achieve forgetfulness and peace in the ooze from which we ascended.” The thought is not unlike that expressed by John Curran in a speech delivered over a century and a half ago, which is well worth our re¬ flection. “It is the common fate of the indolent to see their rights become the prey of the active. The condition upon which God hath given liberty to man is eternal vigilance, which condition, if he break, servitude is at once the consequence of his crime and the punishment of his Guilt.” Have we not in the above quotations the reason why our youth, including several students of Sunalta Junior High, voluntarily take up the struggle for demo¬ cracy and freedom. They are standing on guard not only for Canada but for the world, and eventually having won this hard fought freedom, should they not have a dominant say in the retaining of this freedom, not for the few, but for the many; not for Canada alone, but for all democracies? —E. D. CAMPBELL. 9

VALEDICTORY The end for which we all have longed has come! We are about to close the door upon another school year. But now that the long-looked-for event has arrived, we are conscious that our joy is tinged with sadness as we think of saying “Good-bye” to Sunalta. To the members of the teaching staff we say farewell. We sincerely thank you for the painstaking effort with which you all have striven to impart your particular brand of knowledge. Often it was like taking a dose of medicine—good for us, but hard to take. No doubt we have worried you, but when in turn our brains became fagged with an over-supply of Math., Social Studies, Science, or even by events of the night before, how pleasant it wasi to let up and relax by having a game of basketball or badminton. To those we leave behind, farewell. To you, we entrust the responsibility of carrying on the many school activities,—may your standards be high. As seniors may you seek not only to main¬ tain but to achieve even higher goals than we have reached in our attempt. To you we throw the torch, be yours to hold it high. Classmates, as we leave this school, we are following in the paths of hundreds who have gone out before us. What a record the history of Sunalta Graduates would make! They are scattered far and wide and many are known for their deeds of fame. What will our record be? Our country needs citizens who will do their duty. They are needed more than railways, speed-boats or airplanes. It is not in its wealth or even in its power, but in its upright men and women that a nation finds its true greatness. We may not all be prosperous, we cannot all win; but we can have high ideals and all do our best, to make this Canada of ours a better place in which to live. —WILDA OXLEY, 9B. 10
