253 Western Canada Students Graduate

Grads Told Success Lies in Determination

(Picture on Page 38)

A relentless determination to master one occupation-- this was the measure of success, Ald. Art Smith told the 253 graduates of Western Canada High School at their commencement Wednesday night.

Of all the qualities needed to attain one's life objectives-- courage, responsibility, imagination, enthusiasm-- this determination was the major attribute that set apart from others the lives of great men.

"Higher vision drove these men" said the speaker. "It enabled men like Edison, Columbus, to overcome fantastic obstacles."

EQUATING THIS intangible quality to the tangible, technical modern world, Mr. Smith explained-- the demand of business and industry on the mental capacities of young people wes ever-increasing today. Industry is looking for leadership, the kind of leadership first developed in high school, whether in academic, athletic or extra-curricular activities.

"In the eyes of the world, you are no longer children, in any sense of the word," Mr. Smith told the young people before him, "and soon you will discover that your education throughout life will not be confined to the school system."

HE WARNED THEM against lazy minds, which in Voltaire's words were like old ovens-- "always heating, but seldom cooking."

F. L. Woodman, chairman of the evening, trustee, and former principal of Western Canada High School, also stressed the importance of being able to shoulder responsibility. In a short poem to conclude the ceremony, he characterized the discovery the graduates soon would make: "It takes much more than growing up to be a real man-- breadth of vision, self-control, a gentler tongue, a humbler spirit, wisdom to know, and to forget, courage to smile in the midst of sorrow."

THE INTRODUCTION of graduating students was made by Ward Steckle, principal, and T. M. Perry, assistant principal.< /big>

Patricia A. Reed and David F. Goodman delivered valedictory addresses, and Rev. D. K. Walker gave the invocation to open the program.

Musical entertainment included two symphonic works, "Presto" from Haydn's Symphony in C, and Ballet Music from "Rosamunde" by Schubert by the Western orchestra; a piano solo by Constance Channon; "Be Thou My Vision", a traditional Irish Air; and two vocal duets by Wilma Steckle and Barbara Martinusen, "On Wings of Song" and "Would That My Love". The music was directed by May Powell.
