Principals Message

There are many
strengths that you, the
graduating class of 1978
have, but there is none so
important as the sense of
commitment you have
revealed, These past 12
years have been a myriad
of clubs and sociak
events, athletics and
classes. The. unifying
feature in al] this variety
however, has been a
sense of purpose and
commitment. The
pursuit of excellence in
technology, in scholar-

* ghip, in sports and in fine
ais is only maintained
by commitment. Your
parents began by giving

you a sense of direction

and insisting you -

maintain it, your
teachers have guided it,

but now you will control ©

it.

Asense of commitment
to your job is a satisfying
thing, and a commitment
{to your family or ideals is
an inspiring thing. JE you
can maintain a sense of
personal committment in
the future, your lives will
be filled with direction
and satisfaction. Can you
ak for much more out of
ife?

To the Graduates of
1978

In writing a message to
you, the “Graduates of
19738”, 1+would like to
congratulate you on
achieving the right ‘to
participate in - the
graduation ceremony.
Most of you have done
your best and are to he.
commended for your ef-
forts. You will soon be
beginning experiences in
the working world or in
post-secondary education
and I look forward with
anticipation to the con-
tributions you will make
to the community.

Whereas [I question
myself as to what right
one person has to give
omnipotent advice to an
individual, much less a
group such as yourselves,
with your different

abilities, biases, at-
titudes, and interests, I

would like to make a
request of you.

This request concerns
the problem of the for-
mation of derogatory
generalizations towards
individuals or groups of
individuals which are
often the result of

prejudice; the forming of

usually unfavourable

opinions without proof or
competent evidence.
You have knowledge,

you have the research o

and communication skills
to attain further
knowledge: use these
abilities to collect ob-
jective facts rather than
accepting and per-
petuating unreasonable
and harmful judgements

- against others.

It is my hope that as
you continue your
education, or bepin
working in the com-
munity, you will not

ome prejudiced or a
prejudicing force without
proof or valid evidence.

Thank you for the
opportunity of writing
this brief message to the
“Grads of 1978”.

The best of tomorrow to
all of you.

Yours sincerely,

F.M. Hamilton
