The rest will come," quoted Dr. Helen Hogg in her address to the 1959 grad- uating class 'of Thornhill High School at their commencement exercises on Friday, November 20. While much impressed with the prizes and scholarships now available to students, Dr. Hogg made a plea for more money for education. Although all young people cannot be expected to graduate from High Schol or University, she felt that the aim of our educational system should be to have every young person go as far up in the educational scale as his ability will take him. This she felt to be the only way to accept the challenge given the free world by the stupendous scientific achievements of the communist world, and the chal- lenge of the space age generally. Soviet scientific accuracy is fan- tastic, Dr. Hogg stated. An error of one millionth of an inch in one instrument would have meant the failure of their moon rocket. Such accuracy. she added, was comparable to the finding of a 25c coin in a hay stack three times as high as the Empire State Build- ing. The Thornhill students are fortunate to have easy acceSs to apuniversity of world-wide repu- tation, and Canada though small by population has produced some of the best scientists in the world who reflect the magnificent train- ing received here. ‘ 'I'Ilornllill 6 High School Dr. HelenS.

Mr. B. T. O’- Beirn, thanked Dr. Hogg for her address and she was given a warm ovation by the audience, Mr. H. W. R. Sayers, Chairman of the York Central District High School Board also addressed the graduates, bringing greetings from the board. He noted that the young people of today are on the threshold of even greater things than those produced in the last «few years and urged them not to be afraid to accept-the challenge. but to continue to learn. In the midst of all these chal- lenges, the Principal. Mr. A. S, Elson also'reminded the students that “life is fun â€" don’t be afraid of it."

Did you know that it is unlaw- ful to travel by foot on the right hand'and centre portions of roads without sidewalks. It has been noticed that many Doncaster pe- destrians, children and adults alike, frequently use the wrong side of the road and all of them are potential next accident vic- tims. The last victim. of this prac- tice, was an eighteen year old youth who was hit a week ago the past Monday. It is sincerely hoped that those who use the wrong side will consider the facts and change their tracks.
