When I wrote this speech I tried to follow some advice handed down by Franklin Delano Roosevelt who said; be SINCERE, be BRIEF, be SEATED. Some 4 years ago a group of freshman was signed up by circumstances for a bus tour; some knowing where they were going, others wonder- ing what they were doing here, and some just along for the ride. Obviously, they did not travel on just any bus, it had room for some 280-odd students, a driver and tour guides. That is a BIG BUS. Just to be sure we’re all on the same train of thought, I’ll call this bus D.H.S. Well, we freshsmen climbed on board, took our seats, and away we went. First thing, the driver welcomed us aboard and told us to keep our eyes open because this trip was going to be over before we knew it, and it’s something we DI DNT WANT TO MISS. Of course, we were too busy making friends with the people around us to pay much attention to the crazy old driver and his “words of wisdom.” How fast those words became true. After a small eternity of guides pointing out the windows at innumerable facts, rumbles in the back of the bus, good times with friends, and a few quiet moments alone, the freshman have arrived at the end of their journey; we are at an airport, yet another point of departure of the class of 1986. Anxious to stretch our legs, we, who are now seniors, preparing to leave the protective con- fines of the bus and enter the airport, realize that this is it, the last time our paths will cross; we are both thankful for the time we have had together, and anxious to take advantage of the opportunties that lie ahead. As we finally step off tne bus, we are each given a ticket. When we stop and look closely at it, we realize that it has no destination printed on it, because that is the part that we fill in. WTiat will we do with our tickets? Some of us might lose them and never go anywhere, some don’t know where they’re going, but they’ll get there anyway, some of us know where we’re going, but circumstances will change where we wind up, and there are those of us who know where we are going, and will get there, some taking first class ana others coach, some going further than others, but all fullfilling their potential. We are about to embark on our own, in- dependant futures in a new, wonderfully strange environment, with many more rules, choices, and expectations than before. As we go our separate ways, all I can add are my own best wishes and Godspeed to my classmates of 1986. 2 Introduction
