HONOUR CLUB Laws are made to protect people from harm to themselves and to other people. This year everyone seemed to realize this more and tried to co-operate accordingly. For one thing, the rules were written down and clearly posted within everyone ' s reach, and those who chose to break a rule did so knowing the penalty. Co-operation between the students and the faculty was greatly increased. The students took responsibility and, on the whole, carried their duties honourably. For example, the seniors helped the teachers supervise the halls. The faculty listened patiently to our complaints and tried to satisfy us. Regular meetings helped to keep the faculty, the Honour Club, and the students closer together. We feel that with the help and co-operation of students to come, th e Honour Club will live up to the high expectations of those who iirst founded it. Carolyn Carnwith. Page Twenty-seven

BACCALAUREATE SUNDAY On Sunday, June 9th, the Annual Baccalaureate Service was held in the Whitby United Church, which was beautifully decorated by the Juniors. The preacher was Rev. McGregor Grant of Rosedale United Church, Toronto. His sermon was en- titled Wisdom for our Times. After returning to school, the Seniors entered Main Hall singing the traditional hymn. Refreshments followed in the Common Room for parents and friends. COMMENCEMENT DAY Commencement Day! What a sad, yet joyous, time. It is hard to believe all our school days are at an end. The seventy-second Commencement Day was a most beautiful day. The gradu ' ates wore long white dresses and carried red roses. Rev. C. G. Park of Whitby gave the invocation. Glenna Wylie was the Graduating Class ' s Valedictorian. Dr. Bernard K. Sandwell gave the Commencement address which kept the whole audience enthralled throughout. Following the Commencement Exercises, a Garden Party was held on the lawn. It was not easy for us to say good-bye to the school which has been our home for so long and where we have many happy memories, yet we shall return to visit, and already we have planned a reunion next year. GRAD DANCE The climax of a perfect day! Yes, it was the Graduation Dance. It was a miracle that the hot dungareed figures who scampered out of the gym at five minutes to nine, could descend Main Hall staircase a few minutes later with poise and assurance, to greet their fine-l( )oking partners, waiting in the candle- lit Common Room. The guests entered the gymnasium and were received by Dr. and Mrs. Carscallen, Miss Sissons, Mrs. Roadhouse, Marilyn Crang and Bruce Poole. Compliments on the decorations were many. A symphony in blue and white, with the punch gallery banked in bridlewreath, describes it. Tall white standards of flowers in pastel shades flanked the orchestra. Jack Bond and his band were a great success. The strawberry shortcake, ice cream and coffee served at eleven o ' clock were delicious. All too soon the last strains of music faded and after farewells were said happy grads flocked to bed. Page Twenty-six

Winona Denyes (President), Glenna Wylie. Reth MacNeil, Miss Beno. STUDENT CHRISTIAN MOVEMENT With the assistance of Miss Beno, their advisory teacher, the S. C. M. had a successful year. During the course of the Sunday evening services, we were pleased to hear such vivid speakers as Dr. G. Little and Rev. A. Cooper. The chapel services every morning, led by Dr. Carscallen and Miss Sissons, will always be re- membered, for their short but inspiring words. Our annual Bazaar was a success, the girls participating eagerly. This, together with the Sunday evening contributions, enabled us to give donations to the Grenfell Mission, Santa Claus Fund, and the cot in the Chinese Mission. Gifts were given to County Home and the choir, directed bv Mrs Sherwin, helped in singing Christmas carols. Payr Twenty-eight
