For many of us our first association with Port Perry High School was when we tried the Entrance examina- tions. It was the high spot in my life up to that time. How well I remem. ber the strangeness of the building and how we all stood around in little huddled groups repeating scraps of in- formation to ourselves. Most of you will remember Mr. Follick and Mr. McLean, who were the presiding officers. I wonder how many were foolish enough to keep the arithmetic answers, as I did, and ex- pose them to the critical gaze of their relatives? When my family saw my arithmetic answers they said I was doomed. I couldn't possibly pass. after a few miserable weeks I became resigned to my fate and was quite agreeably surprised to learn that I had passed in spite of my arithmetic. We went to High School. As if it were yesterday, I remember trooping up to the assembly hall on that first morning when Mr. McKenzie, the ! principal, gave us an inspiring talk "at the concusion of which he said, ""And now I wish to introduce to you the new teacher Mr. Gemmell." As we look back to our 1st Form days the faces of our most. intimate asso- ciates stand out clearly from the back ground of half-forgotten faces. My boon companions were: Sylvia Nind, Marjory Pyatt, Sheila McIver, Marion Tinsley and' Jean Cumming. We formed a club.called Tabba Mona--the reason for our choice of a name is lost in the mists of time. . It was a very exclusive society-----each member being pledged to absolute secrecy.

Long periods of study, interspersed with summer holi- days, literary meetings, school parties apd that bane of all. scholars' ex- istence--examinations. [I used to vow that, if ever I became rich and in- fluential, I would abolish examina- tions. But now, when I see the end of my examination days approaching, 1 realize the advantages and incline to the sentiment-- "We always had to try them, why shouldn't they?" Thus do we desert the vows of our youth. Jut the an- noyance of examination was forgotten in the good times we had--basketball --what did it nfatter that we lost far more often than we won?--and that the coffee was usually too weak?-- Literary meetings--when all sorts of talent were revealed in most unex- pected places. School parties which cultivated the gentle art of dancing. even the lessons seem delightful in retrospect. Here is a problem which suggest itself to me when thinkine of the more practical side of school life,--How large a flock of poultry would we have if all the chickens which had ever been hatched in Port Perry High School had been kept and how long would it take them to cat all the food that has ever been cooked inthe > orogh "2 golpnee room? No doubt this problem can be golved by using higher mathematics Let the number of chickens equal Xx and amount of food equal Y,--The rest is simple. Tr Let me speak for a_moment to the undergraduates. To them I say: Be proud of your school. Remember that you have reason to rejoice in your school's history. Many graduates of Port Perry High School have become famous, Among them are the Lieut.- Governor, Dr. Herbert Bruce, Major Feheerfully=--*"Lumme! form, NZ foe James H. MacBrien and Prot. DeLury, of Toronto University. =A more recent gradudte is Elizabeth Allin, who was awarded a fellowship from Toronto University to study at Oxford, Of late years several Port Perry pupils have won Carter scholar- ships; among these ave Eric Nasmith, Hugh Nind and Hazel Kight. We are proud of them and proud too of scores of other Port Perry graduates who have learned here that greatness lies in duty well performed even though it | be not widely known. Do not be afraid of your teachers. Discuss your pro- blems with them and a spirit of friendly co-operation between teachers and you will be established. For what is a school without its teachers? Behind every great and successful man is some teacher who has stirred his youthful ambitions and then remained in obscurity wihle his pupil soared to fame. Hats off to our teachers! We wish to express our ap- preciation of their kindly interest in us and their untiring efforts on our behalf. May each succeeding grad- uating class be more worthy than the last, of the teachers of Port Perry High School. What of us who are graduating? some may become nurses, some teach- ers, some office workers, We look around and see that every profession is crowded--every line of work is over- : supplied. Like every other generation before us we delight in considering our times exceptionally ditlicult. Conditions must have been much the same in Ten- nyson's day when he wrote: "What is that which I should turn to lighting upon days like these? Every gate is thronged with suitors, all the markets overflow. I have but an angry fancy; what is that which I should do?" We can but choose our special work and do our very best in that field. There is still work to be. done and there are opportunities for those who are ready to seize them. Fellow graduates we must not fear the world. We are young, Life with its bound- less possibilities lies before us. And if unfavorable winds blow upon us, (as they will), we must face them squarely and go on from each en- counter stronger for the next. It is not our misfortunes that shape our destinies, but the spirit in which we meet adversity. This dauntless courage is well illustrated in a story I read re- cently: A burly Englishman went to have his fortune told. The fortune- teller gazed long nto the erystal. "My friend" she said at last, 'beware of 'u tall dark woman who will be constant- Iv in vour path." The client replied hard { her, mate, T drive a steam engine. "But we need more "than an invine ible spirit and an unconquerable soul. We need greater knowledge, We must not be content with being "graduates of a splendid. This age demands wherever we care jand whatever do, we must go on reading, thinking ana learning as before. We are now at the beginning of our cducation--not the end, " High School however that, work we The old Ulysses felt how limitless is knowledge when he said, after his un- usually eventful life: " "ama part of all that 1 he wet, Yet all experience is an arch, where thro' Gleams that untravelled whose margin fades " world, Forever and forever when I move!

The gong has sounded and the race is on, what will be our story in 10547 ON THE SHORFS OF SCUGOG The following review was : published in the Oshawa Daily Times on Dee. 12 By M. M. II. "Stories of pioneey days are always interésting, but we have seldom found a more enjoyable book of this type than "On the Shores of Scugog' which has just been published at Port Perry by Samuel Farmer, publisher of the Port Perry Star, and the author of the book. Mr. Farmer hans lived for a long time in Port Perry, He has known, personally, many of the early pioneers of the district. He has talked over with them their experiences in luck tor] "worth preserving for he has creating a fertile agricultural district out of the forest which covered it in the days of the early settlement. He has dipped deeply into the minds of these old people, now gone to their re- ward, and he has produced something which is worthy of preservation as an authentic record of the history of the Lake Scugog district ot Ontario, As a historical record, this book by our friend Samuel Farmer is well worth reading by all who are inteir- ested in Ontario County. It is well worth preserving, of being placed in the in its inter- the library of every school in county because it tells, esting pages, a story of pioneer effort, On- as it is to-day, and of of "the gradual development of tario county the trials through which the pioneers passed without flinching in order that they might hand down an enriched heritage to those coming after them. But mere this volume is more than a historical record. It is more than a recital of the stages by which the various communities of the district came into being, grew and prospered. It is more than a mere chronogical re- cord of incidents; of lists of names of carly settlers, or important events, It contains all these things, but to us, as we read the book, the most appeal- ing factor was its deep human inter- est. It took us into the homes of the pioneers, and enabled us to share their Its breezy style and Mr, manner of re-telling stories told him joys and sorrows, was refreshing, Farmer's by the pioneers made these stories live again, to take on new color and warmth. There about it. inwardly pt his descriptions of people and events of these early days. He took us into the woods for the sugar- ing-off, for the logging bees. He showed us the simple lives of the people, and contrasted their lot with that of those of us who are living to- day. He brought out, in simple language, the grandeur of their char acters, the nobility of their lives, and did it in such a w.y, that he made them live again, and gave us real en joyment in the reading of his book. was nothing dry Time and again we chuckled "On the Shores of Scugog" in its first edition, was published in 1913. The present edition, just published, brings the story up to date, and adds to it many of the touches of pioneer life, miscing in the former volume. it includes the story of sacrifices of 'he men and women of the Scugog district in the Great War of 1914-1918, for the development, in the future, of v new and even finer civilization than that which we now enjoy. We enjoyed reading Samuel Farm- "1's book, every page of it. And we enjoyed, the fine line drawings with which it is illustrated, drawings | produced by the author's daughter, ; Miss Marian Farmer, who shows much promise as an artist in the work she has done for this volume, It is a which will be found intensely interesting to all who have any asso- ciation with the Scugog district, but it is more than that.
