This ceremony marks the beginning of a new and changed life. As the class representa- tive I know that I voice the thoughts and senti- ments of my classmates on this memorable occa- sion. I want to thank our parents and teachers for their guidance, help, and encouragement through our school years. Our paths will be many and varied, our thoughts will be troubled as the world today is troubled, but we can take courage from our patents who also faced uncertain times, but who knowing that they had truth and justice on their side, triumphed. With this example to follow plus knowledge, faith and confidence acquired through the patience and understanding of our teachers, our future should be bright with suc- CCSS.
