Reflections &
Recollections

was no doubt in anyone's mind that this was just a simple
ceremony marking the end of 12 years of school.

To underline this fact, the school lights had burned late.
that night for many months prior as students and teachers
prepared for the government finals. There was pressure;
stress and a sense of the need to make every minute count,
But there was also the sense of a cooperative striving for a
common goal, to achieve in'the final push an “esprit de
corps.” Again everyone wrote the government exams and

Lt again everyone waited for the final results.

But already ‘the grad’ was catching on and being
actively It was also h ing a kind of rite of
passage, and schools were beginning to be evaluated not for
the quality of the student they were turning out but on their

the not-too-profound observation that not all children who

started out in Grade 1 completed Grade 12.:Now, such a

situation, it was argued, was very undemocratic — elitist in

fact. Every child should have the experience of reaching

into studies and preparations for a career and more and
more went into preparation for the steadily growing Roman

Several factors hastened the trend. The post war baby

excuse for an 'a which sweeps
everything along with it, And fie the most telling
statement was made by one teacher, a last year's grad
parent himself, who said: “Parents will be sitting at home,
waiting for the telephone to ring which they grow five years
older in one week-end.”

On the other hand there is no way in which I would lay
the blame for this Mardi Gras learn-by-osmosis approach on
the students. People are like water and will follow the
easiest path to a goal. If it were otherwise the top of the
ladder of success would be uncomfortably crowded with
millionaires, tennis champions and brain surgeons.

Too many students have been sold, I think, on the
notion that school is a big rock-candy mountain with a great,
gaudy bash at its peak. Graduation exercise speakers will
emote at length on how “this class will now be going out into
the world of new experiences and careers,” as if the students

«were chicks just hatching out of the egg, knowing and ready
to run, peck.and scratch.

Unfortunately, many of them will not only not know
that they do.not know how to ‘scratch’ but the type of
education as laid down by Victoria is going to be of limited
assistance in helping them gain the skills, discipline and
knowledge they need,

Too many students are leaving school without a saleable

them to:remain in school and ae their Grade 12. This
“earrot,” it was decided, would be'a formial' 'pablic ceremony
to honor any student who completed Grade 12 standing. And
thus, ‘the’ grad’ was born,

Tecan remember the first ceremony. It was held in the
old community hall. Everyone got dresded if their best for
the evening and only those who had passing grades up to
that date were permitted ‘to attend. “Scrolls” tied with a
ribbon were presented and they were ‘unintentionally

following week all the students sat for the g
