DENHAM KELSEY VALEDICTORIAN The ’41 Graduate The Senior Graduate more than anyone else understands the impres- sion a good school has made on him. As he looks back on his life at school he senses, lor the first time perhaps, that a very definite plan has con- trolled his education. His studies have been fashioned not only to give knowledge, but also a deeper un- derstanding of life and its problems. His recreation has been ordered not only to pass away the idle hours but also to discover his aptitudes and develop his hidden talents. Most of all, however, his religious life has been shaped and stimulated not only to formulate habits of proper conduct but also to give him an understand- ing why one thing is right and an- other wrong. We, the graduates of 1941, realize our position. Our carefree boyhood days are over. We are men and, as men, it is our obligation, an obliga- tion even more binding in these troubled days, to carry on as useful members of our community and worthy citizens of our Dominion. Our ways of achieving this objective will differ. Some of us will go into the active services; a few will go on to University to fulfil a cherished am- bition as doctor or engineer; still others will go out to work and sus- tain Canada ' s war effort. But wher- ever our paths lead, we know we have had the training and instruc- tion to direct our steps aright. We trust the day will never be when the College will be disappointed in us, but may rather as a proud Alma Mater look with pleasure on the lives and careers of the Graduates of ' 41. [ 16 ]
