Applause, applause for the moving Valedictory Address by Samantha Scollard. Matt Fera, Jason Estronza, Jay DeYonke, Dave DeWitt and Mike D’Antonio all felt it deserved a standing ovation. Delivering his Saluditory Address is Charles Aquilina. Charles was only tenths behind Samantha in their cu- mulative grade point averages, both had above a 4.00. Awaiting the start of the procession into the church are Debbie Oliverio, Samantha Scollard and Beth Was. Samantha used these last few mo- ments to mentally run over her speech one more time. I ast minute tasle adjustments were in order for John Baluci from Kris Na- siatka. Many graduates lived in fear of turning their tasle and topplinig their cap while doing so. Graduation 27

We’ve Come a Long Way Finally the day that’s taken twelve years of studying, testing and growing to reach-Gradua- tion day. The feelings are of- ten mixed and the following poem by the 1988 valedictor- ian, Samantha Scollard seemed most appropriate. Four long years have come and gone Like an eternity to some. It seemed the years were dragging on. The end would never come Four long years of blood drives And selling calendars door to door. Four long years of science fairs And projects done the night before Four long years od dress pants And polyester skirts; Socks that come up to our knees And solid colored shirts. Four long years of getting jug For things we “didn’t do.” “But Sr. Regina. I wasn’t skipping! I really had the flu!” Four long years of research papers. Pop quizzes and essay question tests. Four long years of semester exams For which we studied without rests. Four long years of all the homework Which we complained about. And now we’re in for four years more Just when we thought that we were out! Four short years have come and gone: It seems they went so fast. They’re over now; as of today They’re just a mcm’ry of the past. Four short years of snow days. Shortened Fridays and vacations; Senior trips which we looked forward to With much anticipation. Four short years of fire drills And pep rallies and masses; Four short years of all the things Which took us from our classes. Four short years of weekends And good times and romances. Four short years of football games And musicals and dances. Four short years of the lessons We’ve all learned from each other Lessons on getting along together And sharing with one another. Four short years of preparation For all that is to come. Four short years of teachers and staff Who’vc given us the wisdom which we’ll need To guide us through our futures. Help us endure and then succeed. Four short years of parents Who have been there every day To give us the encouragement We sometimes needed along the way. Four short years of all the people We have met and come to know; People who have touched our lives And whom we’ll miss when we must go- Four short years which we spent Each as ourselves we chose. Four short years of D.C. spirit Finally coming to a close. But “Goodbye” is not the proper word To say as we depart. For mere miles cannot break the bonds That have grown within our hearts. It takes much more than distance To separate true friends. Even years of time can’t break them up Since true friendship never ends. So, now that the time to leave is here, “So-long” is what to say Because I'm sure that we will meet again Somewhere, sometime, someday! by: K. Duffy “We finally did it!”, says Scott Mul- cahy to fellow graduate Julie Majcske as he waves to his parents in the crowd. Graduation ceremonies were held on Sunday June 5, 1988. “Congrat’s!” Congratulations and hugs were all around for the graduate Colleen Meade from her family and friends. Graduation is a long awaited and treasured day for both the gradu- ates and their families. 26 Graduation
