Sharon Scott received the Student Council award for showing the greatest improvement in Grade 9 typewriting. The Senior French Trophy, donated by Mr. J.P.

A highlight of the evening was the Valedictory Address by Cora Spadoni who spoke of the many friendships cultivated over the last few years which cannot be severed simply by leaving high school, but will remain for years to come. She optomistically looked to the future knowing that the valuable experiences of high school days would stand members of the graduating classes in good stead to face the world with confidence and success. The Valedictorian was followed by two very en- joyable vocal selections sung by Sharon Smith and then the speaker of the evening, Mr. Morgan, Director of Education for the Lake Superior Board of Education. Mr. Morgan pointed out that each person has a valuable part to play in today's society. He said that constructive criticism of present day society was| helpful but withdrawal was not praiseworthy. He clearly showed the incongruity of those who have withdrawn from society, such as the hippies, and yet, these same people expect society to support them in many ways. He gave several examples, however:,, of young people who were already con- tributing to the betterment of humanity and said that young pecple today who do good far outnumber the few who often make the headlines through their destructiveness.
