This June ;ractuate for the first tine from our school to go tc their sep- some to further schooling. Our class is saying good-bye : good-bye to a way of life.

We feel an irrepayable debt to those who have guided us with faith,-patience, and hope, our teachers. We wish to thank our parents and friends for havin given us courage to reach this point, and may we remind them: the reward of a thing well done is to have done it. VALEDICTORY Joan Jackson 12-29 School life may be divided into three phases, these being academic, athletic, and civic. The purpose of attending school is to obtain a formal education, and this is the academic phase. In the past our students excelled; and among the graduates there are many award winners. The future graduating classes too, show much promise in this field. Looking to the future, we do not know what it holds for us, except that it will be shaped by us and our ambitions. I hope that the desires and aspirations of each graduate will be fulfilled. To be one among the first alumni of Viscount is indeed a great honor, but with this we know that the responsibility of setting an example and making the name of our school a prominent one, has been excellently borne, A distinguished American - Patrick Henry, once said: I know of no way of judging the future but by the past.” If what he professed is true, and the years ahead of us are as wonderful as the ones spent at Viscount Bennett, each and every one of us shall lead a full and happy life.
