The Gift of Friendship l-LJhen I look out on this crowd tonight. I see family, teachers and lov- ed ones gathered here to help us celebrate this completion of our educa- tion in Junction, but all I really see are friends. Maybe the words of Helen S. Rice can explain my feelings tonight “The Gift of Friendship Friendship is a priceless gift That cannot be bought or sold. But its value is “far greater Than a mountain made of gold — For gold is cold and lifeless. It can neither see nor hear. And in the time of trouble It is powerless to cheer — It has no ears to listen. No heart to understand. It cannot bring you comfort Or reach out a helping hand — So when you ask God for a gift. Be thankful if He sends Not diamonds, pearls or riches. But the love of a real true friend. Above all other things we have obtained throughout our school years, past the education, the maturity, and the understanding of the world around us, the graduating seniors of 1988 have become friends. Our invitations began with the words we grow, we learn, we seek; and I cannot think of any more suitable words for our class. As we grew to become friends, we shared unbelievable and fantastic memories. We learned to accept each other and to respect the person in- side We worked together to accomplish common goals; mainly to be here this evening. But above all we are friends. As we separate tonight and go our different directions we will seek new goals, new directions, and new friends, but I have no doubt that my classfnates will keep the friends they have made thus far. So seniors of ’88. when you ask God for a gift: Be thankful if He sends Not diamonds, pearls or riches. But the love of a real true friend. — Kim Happner — THE GIFT OF FRIENDSHIP. Tearfully.
