Eight Graduates Receive Diplomas at Closing Exercises of; Local Irish School\u2014Four Matriculate with Distinction-Year\u2019s Activities Reviewed by Principal\u2014Enjoyable Programme Presented by Pupils.Thirty-Five Members Of Field Brigade Leave For Petawawa Its roster of Old Boys already .tudded with the names of many prominent residents of Sherbrooke and other cities, tradition-rich St.Patrick\u2019s Academy last night graduated eight more young men, awarding them diplomas at closing exercises featured Ly the presentation of prizes, a report of the year\u2019s activities given by the principal, Brother Nicholas, and a clever programme staged by the younger pupils.Of the eight graduates, four received diplomas for matriculating m the academic course and four for successfully completing their commercial tr-urnig.In academic, all matriculating witn distinction, were Gerald Largy, Henry Veilleux, Victor Mitchell and Leonard Giroux,, while in the commercial class were Fred Pelletier, Louis Picard, Gerard St.Jacques and Armand Gaucher.Addressing the graduating class of 1939 at tlie close of the prize presentation ceremonies, Brother Nicholas urged them to live faithful to the principles taught them in St^ Pat\u2019s.During the past scholastic year the high standard of the Academy had been maintained and in some instances even greater progress made, Brother Nicholas said in presenting his report of activities.Advancement was realized in every phase of the institution\u2019s work, he stated, adding that Sherbrooke was in a particularly fortunate position because of the fact that a child can begin kindergarten here and go on to a degree without leaving the city.\u201cThe best education can be obtained at home and under the home influence,\u201d Brother Nicholas said.Lack of a definite English course in the schools of the province has been somewhat of a handicap in the elementary grades, he pointed out.Brother Nicholas believed that the inclusion of this course in school curriculums next year will be a definite advantage.It is necessary to have a goal in education as in everything else, the principal declared, stressing the fact that in St.Pat\u2019s the students ere promoted when the teaching staff feels they are ready for a Ugher grade, not necessarily only the end of the year.This practice, which has proved very successful, will he followed in the coming term, he stated.Every pupil of the Academy takes part in some form of healthful play and in the past year health was kept sat a high level, Brother Nicholas observed.Both Scouts and Cubs r.ave been active and the spirit and enthusiasm shown by the members nf the two groups is the equal of any he has seen anywhere, he said.Referring to religion in the school, the Academy head stated \u2018the Very Rev.Canon .1.C.McGee is with us one hundred per cent, as is Rev.F«*\u201c.er Linahen.\u201d He mentioned the closed retreat held during the year, v.'hen for three days thirty students devoted themselves entirely to religious studies.Several sermons were preached daily during the retreat and all of the boys volunteered to take part in another retreat next year.I am very proud of this movement, Brother Nicholas said.Success attained by the Academy in the year was due to the co-operation of the parents, the school commissioners and the children themselves, he declared.Because of the interest taken by the parents the.average attendance was high, he said, and the pupils were encouraged to study.\u201cA little encouragement goes a long way with a child,\u201d Brother Nicholas reminded the parents.Stating that a great deal can be accomplished when the parents and teachers work together in harmony, Brother Nicholas asked them not to criticize teachers before hearing their side of the story.He urged parents beset bv problems concern-tfig their child\u2019s educational progress to discuss matters with the vunil's instructors.Brother Nicholas also thanked the ¦Ichool Commissioners for their cooperation, referring to the boy as \"instrumental to the progress of the school,\u201d and paid tribute to the staff working with him\u2014Brother Whelan, Brother O\u2019Keefe, Brother Joseph, F.Beauregard.French specialist, and Mrs.F.Doherty, primary class teacher.During the presentation of prizes which followed Brother Nicholas\u2019 report Brother Joseph, popular director of all St.Pat's athletics, was presented with a \u2018-emembrance from the pupils as a token of esteem and appreciation.In the programme which opened the exercises a number of songs, Irish dances and recitations were heard.Following \u201c0 Canada.\u201d the entertainment began with \u201cLittle Sir Echo,\u201d sung by Masters Mark Gervais, Lawrence Gallagher and chorus, followed by a genuine Irish jig danced by Masters Donald Hein-erth.Kenneth Doiran and Milton Kenalty.This dance, as well as an Irish reel which appeared later on ( the programme, staged by Milton ! Kenalty and Donald Heinerth, were taught to the boys by Brother Nicholas and he furnished flute accompaniment.Master Lawrence Gallagher, aided by the chorus, was featured in \u201cUmbrella Man,\u201d while the entire chorus joined in \u201cKeep On Hoping.\u201d Recitations were given by Masters Jerry Walsh and John Dunn.At the.close of the programme films taken during various St.Pat\u2019s activities were screened by means i of the projector purchased by the I Academy board as an aid in educat-jing the pupils.j The many prizes awarded to stu-j dents for proficiency in various subjects were presented by Brother S Nicholas and Brother Whelan.The j award for the most popular hoy in ] the school, as chosen by the pupils, j was captured by John Southern, out-! standing Academy athlete.This I prize was donated by Mrs.J.H.Walsh in memory of the late J.H.Walsh, one of the founders of the Academy.Speaking briefly at the close of the presentations, the Very Rev.Canon McGee thanked Brother Nicholas for his \u201csplendid\u201d report and expressed pleasure at the unity apparent between the teaching staff, the commissioners, the parents and the students.\u201cThere is always succès in union,\u201d he said.D.J.McManamy, chairman of the School Commisioners, congratulated the staff and the pupils, on behalf of the board, mentioning that the trees planted on the Academy grounds in commemoration of the Royal visit to Canada would serve to link the scholars with the school.Mr.McManamy referred feelingly to the death of J.H.W\u2019alsh, terming him a \u201cprince among gentlemen.\u201d If present plans materialize, Brother Nicholas said following Mr.McManamy\u2019s remarks, a Founders\u2019 Day will be marked by the Academy next year, when a tree will he planted for each of the founders of St.Patrick\u2019s Academy to keep alive their memories.Members of the Academy School Board, all of whom were present at the closing exercises, are D.J.McManamy, chairman, Austin Workman.secretary-treasurer, J.R.Sims, W.F.Steele, J.S.Mooney and J.P.Wolfe.In addition to Canon McGee, the clergy was represented by Rev.Canon Napoleon Codere and Rev.Father Linahen.Prizes were awarded as follows: Prize List Preparatory: 1 \u2014 Bruce Cline, Scholarship; 2 \u2014 Thomas Walsh, Insnector\u2019s Prize; 3\u2014James Steele.First Year: 1 \u2014 Mark Gervais, Scholarship; 2\u2014John Dunn, Inspector\u2019s Prize: 3\u2014Terence G.Walsh.Second Year: 1\u2014Donald Butler, Scholarship: 2\u2014Robert Winslade, Inspector\u2019s Prize; 3\u2014Robert Morin.Third Year: 1 \u2014 David Steele, Scholarship; 2\u2014Raymond Laperle, Inspector\u2019s Prize; 3\u2014Harvey Car-son.Fourth Year: 1\u2014Adelard Laval-lier, Scholarship: 2\u2014Kenneth Doi-ron.Inspector\u2019s Prize; 3 \u2014 Robert Marois.First Year High: 1 \u2014 John McManus, Scholarship; 2\u2014Raymond Doiron, Inspector\u2019s Prize; 3\u2014Gilles Roy Second Year High: 1 \u2014 Alfred Allen.Scholarship; 2\u2014-Hugh Saunders, Inspector\u2019s Prize; 3 \u2014 Gerard Fisher.First Year Commercial: 1 \u2014 Armand Gaucher, Scholarship; 2 \u2014 Gerard St.Jacques, Inspector\u2019s Prize; 3\u2014Louis Picard.Second Year Commercial: 1 \u2014 Fred Pelletier, Scholarship; 2 \u2014 Kenneth Barlow, Inspector\u2019s Prize; 3\u2014Milton Largy, Third Year High: 1\u2014Lome McPherson, Scholarship; 2 \u2014 Stanley E\u2019crguson, Inspector\u2019s Prize; 3 \u2014 Gerald Daniels.Fourth Year High: 1 \u2014 Gerald Largy, Scholarship; 2\u2014Henry Veilleux, Inspector\u2019s Prize; 3 \u2014 Victor Mitchell.Prizes for Fifth and Sixth years will be awarded when the results of the examination conducted by the Council of Public Instruction are announced.Prizes donated by Rev.Canon McGee and Rev.Father Linehan [were awarded to the following; J.!
