Rebels of Today

It has been the tradition of
this paper to reprint, in full
‘context, the Valedictory
Address from the graduation
ceremonies at Stanley Hum-
phries Secondary Schoo). This
year’s address was presented
:by 1978 graduate Trevor
: Govender:
: . .
$ The staff of Stanley
: Humphries, parents of the
‘graduating class, honored
* guests, ladies and gentlemen
and my fellow notorious grads:
* It is indeed a great honor
: for me to be chosen Vale-
i dictorian of the graduating
! class of 1978, I am sincerely
; appreciative of the opportunity
‘ of speaking on behalf of the
< grads,

I owe this honor to my
fellow grads who voted for me.
It is pleasing to know that they
still have, in me, that which is
so rare in the adult society—
confidence. It is especially com-
forting for me because these
days our parents don't seem to
have quite the same confidence
in their Prime Minister in
Ottawa.

Out parents are concerned

evening to express, on behalf of
the graduating class, our deep
and sincerest appreciation to all
those people who have con-
tributed, in one way or another,
towards whatever success each
grad has achieved, This
includes our teachers from
Grade 1—Grade 12, our
parents, the school board and,
of course, the grads them-
selves. After all, you must have
the raw material to make the
system work.
As another teacher put it:
“I can only lead you to the
bloody water. I cannot make
you drink.” Later he realized
why he could not make us
drink. He led us the wrong way.
Looking back over the past
12 years, we, the innocent
children of nature, have been
beset by some of the most
lovable and, at the same time,
the most cantankerous, person-
nel in the teaching profession.
It may be that some of us
deserved it or some of us did
not. It may be that some of the
teacher brutality did some good
or maybe not.
We were struck by the
many and varied forces of the

mean i:
dollar. But we grads don’t have
to worry about any type of
sinking. As one teacher always
told us: “Nothing’ will ever
sink—into your heads.”

goes on. Only this time it is we
who will strike.

Nevertheless, we un-
fortunate victims are sincerely
indebted to the teachers who
have put up with us for the last
12 tedious, tiresome, torturous
years. I give credit to my
English teachers for that al-
literation.

Some teachers must have
taken special courses at uni-
versity on the subject of tor-
ture—for example: Human
Torture 300. They seem to doit
so well. They know exactly
when to cut the over-grown
student down to size.

They ask us questions
when we are not paying atten-
tion, They keep us awake in
class on Monday mornings,
knowing full well that our
brains do not function until
noon-hour. They even schedule
tests for last period on a Friday
afternoon before the Christmas
break.

School life, therefore, must
certainly be the most memor-
able years of one's life—the
most interesting and yet the
most boring; the most exciting
and yet the most miserable.

Therefore, to those brave

to the Bank of Montreal,

souls of the noble profession—
our teachers—we grads salute
you in humility and gratitude.

Now, our parents. What
can we say? There isn't time
enough in a lifetime and there
aren't words enough in any
language to express adequately
our appreciation for all that you
have dohe for us so far. I think
it would sound better if 1 put it
in the form of a letter which
would read as follows:

Dear Mom and Dad,

I thought it would be ap-
propriate to write you this
short letter of thanks on the
eve of my graduation. I want
you to know that all your pains
and efforts towards my up-
bringing have not been in vain,
have riot been unrewarded.

It is my sincere hope that
someday you will be proud of
your efforts in raising this child
ina world so challenging and so
complicating. Also, be com-
forted that someday, somebody

‘will send you both rich reward

and blessing.

I shall always cherish the
love that you have given me at
all times—even with the palm
of your open hand—especially

Dad's. I also thank you for your
understanding and support—a
shoulder to cry on, a timely
word of encouragement. These
memories will be my comfort
and guide through the years
that lie ahead,

Please forgive me for any
heartaches I might have caused
you in the course of my life of
trial and error. I suppose these
are all part of growing up.

Once again, a million

+ thanks to you both. Without

you I could not have made it
thus far. i
Yours gratefully,
Grad 78

And so, ladies and gentle-
men, you see before you
another batallion of teenagers
ready to invade the world of
adults. These are the rebels of
today but the citizens of
tomorrow. These are your
leaders and followers, lawyers
and criminals, psychiatrists and
teachers, politicians and voters,
employers and strikers. Each
one will find a place in society.

The destiny of the world
rests in the hands of those, my
fellow grads, of 1978. Good tuck
to all. £

Everyone Is Welcome

Her p is‘ the
first ina series designed to help
all those concerned with
uranium mining and nuclear
power development, to better
understand the issues,

The next gathering of the
group will be on July 4 at
Selkirk College. Following a
business meeting, a film will be
shown and anyone interested is
invited to attend.

The Kootenay Nuclear
Study Group is supporting the
efforts of the Genelle Con-
cerned Citizens Action Com-
mittee who are presently op-
posing the exploratory activi-
ties of a uranium consortium at
China Creek. It is hoped that
the experience gained by the
Genelle community can be used
to prepare a booklet to assist
other communities threatened
by prospective uranium mining.

The group is hoping to ar-
range a symposium later this
year, to consider all the issues
surrounding uranium and nu-
clear development including
the viable alternative forms of
energy.

Open Jobs
Rate Rises
2 Per Cent

The average number of
jobs available on‘a daily basis
was 37,500 for the three-month
period ending April 30, up two
per cent from the previous
period, Statistics Canada re-
ported last week.

But compared with the
same period a year ago, the
number of vacancies fell 10 per
cent or’ 4,100.

For every 1,000 existing
jobs in the period, there were
only four vacancies available,
the same as in January but
down from five per 1,000 in
April, 1977,

The highest vacancy rates
were in Alberta, where there
were eight jobs open for every

. 1,000 existing positions, The
lowest rate was in the Atlantic
provinces with only three avail-
able per 1,000,

The job survey is regarded
by Statistics Canada as a
reliable indicator of trends in
job openings,

Union of United Brewery,
Flour, Cereal, Soft Drink and
Distillery Workers.

A spokesman for the as-
sociation said union workers
were asked last Wednesday not
to report to work at Labatt
plants in New Westminster and
Victoria, Molson's in Vancouver
and Columbia in Creston.

The lockout began at 7 a.m.
last Thursday, with the as-
sociation saying it was the re-
sult of the union's refusal to

engage in collective bargaining

with the breweries.

The union has been on
strike at Carling O'Keefe in
Vancouver for more than a
week.

The lockout action put
about’ 1,200 production em-
ployees out of work and idled
200 distribution workers. The
jobs of hundreds of hotel lounge
and beer parlor employees

were in jeopardy with draft and ,

bottled beer supplies expected
to last only a few days.
