fact, you are bound to feel changes, even our motto says 'Non Progredi est Regredi' which l will translate very freely as 'You can't stand still.' So, through the years that lie ahead, we entrust to your care and pro- tection the spirit of our alma mater. May you with it advance as it has always done. To my fellow graduates I merely say, 'Farewellf but this simple word means 'May you do well.' Friends, school-mates, fellow-graduates, 'May you keep on doing well'. ,0l? Scholarship Winner Last year's valedictorian, Noel Rokeby, was awarded a Dominion-Provincial Schol- arship, valued at four hundred dollars. We wish to congratulate Noel on winning the award and to express our sincere hope that the scholarship and industry that earned him this reward may bring him even great- er success as he continues his studies at uni- versity. . Taller Prizes This year's Tatler contests were judged by groups consisting of teachers. XVe are grateful for their valuable service, and for the generosity of the Literary Society who donated the prizes. - T..Q T Farewell tSchool Life . . . Honourable Mentionj Farewell old school with barren walls, And stuffy rooms and crowded halls, With .shaky desks and squeaky floorsg In June, for good, we close your doors. Memories here are soft and sweet. Around the fountains some do meet. Stead'les in the corners stand, While others dream of distant land. But now we leave you once for all. We enter our new school this fall, And you, old school, retire at last! You've done your job and now you're past. B. Truefitt, XIB. THE TATLER Alumni Many of the former students of our be- loved school have stepped out into the world, and with them goes our wish for their every success in the future. A great number of last year's Grade XIII have con- tinued their studies in higher institutes of learning. Those attending London Normal School are the following: Ronald McCurdy, Don- ald Neale, Eleanor Tait, Beatrice Thompson and Leone Turner. ' Two of our former boys are in Toronto. Douglas Ashman is taking Industrial Chem- istry at Ryerson Institute of Technology, and Anthony tTonyj Slama is taking Social and Philosophical Studies at 'Toronto Uni- versity. Marjorie Howey is also in Toronto attending Bible College. XVilliam Fletcher QHonor Sciencej, Mary Lou Grass tLaboratory Technicianj, Noel Rokeby tl-listoryj, and Ted Tillson are try- ing their luck at the University of Westerii Ontario. Westervelt has claimed both Marie Scan- lan and Helen Spanics. Residing at present at McMaster Univer- sity, Hamilton, are Reg. Mason fLawJ and Eric Steele fBiological Sciencej. There ought to be several fine nurses in the future, for five of last year's girls are training for nurses. They are Helen Brown Qlirantford Generalj, Eleanor Collings tlrlamilton Generalj, Marilyn Milmine tVic- toria Hospital, Londonj, Margaret Sand- ham twindsor, Grace Hospitalj, and Donna Wickham QHamilton Generalj. Those continuing Grade XIII are john lippel, joe Longstaff, Nick More, George Teall, and Ken VVebster. Betty Burnett and Faye Hall considered married life a good career. A few students have found it necessary to turn to the more laborious side of life. Faye Scott is working at a local garage. joe Sal- cak is clerking in the Tillsonburg A. and P. store. Donald O. Dean has turned to farm- ing. Marguerite Heibert is teaching school and john Nichols joined the Air Force last autumn. DONALD SYKES, XIII. 23
