Valedictory Address Inspector Menzies Parents Trustees Fellow Students: When we think of graduation different thoughts and feelings stir our beings. First it gives us breath of relaxation of a goal finally obtained or another mile stone reached in preparation for our individual vocat¬ ions. For some of us this means the end of our educat¬ ion and others will seek institutions of learning to pre¬ pare for the future. Those who will continue their studies elsewhere might be filled with indecision, if we should finish our high school then go into other train¬ ing, or which schools we should attend or even for what vocations we will prepare ourselves. Graduation might also fill us With uncertainty, especially of the future for we do not know what it will hold for us or if we will be successful in our new goals. Grad¬ uations are not without a sad note either, for we have to say farewell to what has become dear and close to us. We will now have to enter into unfamiliar places, be it schools or jobs, and leave the old familiar school and teachers. We want to thank the parents and trustees who have stood behind us that it has been possible for us to reach this goal. One of our foremost thoughts is the gratitude to our teachers who have prayerfully and patiently lectured and guided us through this course of studies. Your help will never be trampled into dust by us. We will always remember the history, literature, and bio¬ logy classes instructed by Mr. Doerksen. Some of the sonnets and poems we have studied will help us in the future if applied to our lives. The challenges of maths and chemistry courses instructed by Mr. Klassen, will ever be before us. I believe these subjects will be an asset to us if not directly then they will indirectly help us to think soundly and clearly. Mr. Martens’ classes of basic German and composition will always leave a note of amusement of all the interesting discussions we have had, be it the Beatles or of the subjunctive. Although there have been hard times we can say as Ulysses said, “All times we have enjoyed greatly.” And I hope we will do as he, Ulysses, decided to do, “to strive, to seek, to find and not to yield.” As we say farewell, we hope that we have helped to raise the morale and spiritual standard of the school and hope that we have been the right influence to the following students. To those who stay behind, we hand the torch and hope that it will burn more brightly and clearer in your hands. We wish you all the best and hope that you will do more for the school than we did.
