Some students are leaving school for ever, bthers are leaving this school for another, most of the rest kill oe returning to Wilson happy in thoughts of new work, new friends and new privileges in a higher grade. This is the time when we all realize that the day of reckoning does- come. The teachers have tried all year to get students to work hard for promotion. The students who did work will receive their reward, out the few who did not will have to try again. I hope they will resolve to make a real effort in future so that they can proceed through their remaining school years with no other setbacks. Congratulations to all who completed a satisfactory year and to all who contributed to the success of the vari­ous school events of 1,53-59• My best wishes go to the teachers who are taking other positions or other responsibilities, good luck to the grade-nines in their exams and a happy summer vacation to ell of you ’• S»i.T#K A 5 ."’?.•? a- (/ ,0. &<*/«■* u CS> v\U^ Xz”- 7'9/v’ nJ<z room 2 0 1 ANNE ANDERSON Ahn© is always chewing gum, I wish that.she would give me sone.

Saying Grace, Harold started us with the supper. Later toasts were proposed by Lynda Cooper, Donna Bogusky and Ted Sill"to, which were answered by Mrs. Kipp, Mr. Walker and Mr. Watson. Mr. Hoyt was the main speaker, talking to the graduates about their future. The cake was cut by Mr. G. Wilson. During the supper loyal Mr. Daw with his camera came to chat with Mrs. Kiminski. Accidently his flash bulb left the camera and landed in her unfinished plate. Poor Mrs. Kiminski, she must have been hungry all evening. After the lovely supper, the graduates went to join the other schools at the Collegiate, where a dance was held. An or­chestra provided the music and during the dance flowers were pre­sented to various people. In ending we extend our greatest thanks to all those who made this graduation a pleasant one, especially Miss Grey who supervised the preparation of the banquet. Our special thanks also to Mr. Turner for all he has done for us, this year and the previous two in Junior High. tie Kozak rr>v Pi.f9T£r*r fin, m Lnsi—C-Houj' PH? SEVTpT/Cfi/ fRom THE &/LPDS- This dinnei is a signpost on the pathways of our education and, the pathways of our lives. Most people think of education as a rugged mountain to be climbed and conquered. But to me, education is like a pathway of stepping stones across the width of a river. So far, we have crossed 3 stepping stones, pre-school, elementary, and now Junior High. I thought it would be fun to look at some of the old, mossy , stepping stones of the past before we examine the one to which we are going to leap. Across the 1st and rather confined stepping stone, we crawled, we peddled tricycles, and galloped imaginary horses after imaginary Indians, with occasional stops at an imaginary pony express shack for a cup of water, coffee, and a delicious, although gritty, mud pie cookie. But - we were forced to jump from this dream world to a real world of pencils, erasers, rulers, and scribblers. Printing, writing, reading, adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing; we plowed, through the muddy, murky, ooze of our school subjects. Then ahead was a new stepping stone. Not quite frightened but a little timid, we stepped into the whirl of a host of boys, girls, teachers, and teachers, and more teachers. . Algebra, geometry, physics, chemistry, and French were intro­duced and mastered. Or were they? and it was in Junior High where boys discovered that girls were pretty nice to have around after all. This dinner again reminds us of our attempt to jump to the next stepping stone. I only hope we can all jump this "June Puddle” without getting our feet wet. . We'll miss those detention classes, fascinating aromas travel­ling from the Home Ec. Room throughout the school via the ventilating systems, lockers, and the hominess " of Wilson's class rooms and hall­ways . Looking across this auditorium, I see an endless stream of happy apCoS’ Students, proud but perhaps a little uncomfortable in new litfi63 or neatlY pressed suits and unaccustomed ties. Teachers, a thel S proud., a little sad, a little relieved, looking forward to Scpt-rrb month vacation to recuperate before the rush begins again next 3?oti-^t there is another group of people who should have a special of eii^ „ tonight. Our parents, without whose love, guidance, and most do aCc,Patience we wouldn't be here, tonight. We, as teenagers often '-•Il be -^hese things and take them for granted because we know they 2'sna us msny stepping stones to come. I hope they under- °te them although we may not express ourselves fully we do appreci- m and wish to thank them tonight. -twsVg'nd now on behalf of the 59 Graduates-Farewell to Wilson; We'll I remember the red, white, and green. y.S o /V t» C 'ROOM 3.05 This blue-eyed cutie from 205, Is the best looking guy alive.
