TO THE GRADUATES OF 1988 As the members of the graduating class conclude their public schooling and, in many cases, prepare themselves to leave their homes, I am reminded of George Herbert's poetic words. My God, I heard this day That none doth build a stately mansion, But that he means to dwell therein. What house more stately hath there been, Or can there be, than is Man, to whose creation All things are in decay? George Herbert How perfectly the words describe the past years? Your stately mansion has taken shape, and is now ready for occupancy. As you take final charge of this mansion, pause a moment to reflect on how its present form has been influenced by parents, siblings, teachers, friends, world events, and most of all by your own endeavours. But no life is static, nor should it be! Plan well the future additions and the refurnishings to this stately mansion. Build confidently, knowing that you have received the finest education possible. On behalf of the entire faculty l take this opportunity to tell you how proud we are of your achievement. We extend our very best wishes for a happy, successful future. Dr. D.J.

Looking back, most of us probably wish it was. Have these really been the best years of our lives? That 's debatable and yet we 've learned so much since that crisp autumn morning we skipped off to our yqrst day ofschool, totally oblivious of our own ignorance. That happened yesterday, we've lived today, and now we muslface tomorrow. Time has begun to wear away at ouryouth to reveal the wisdom experience created, so that we may finally use it. But what of our youth ? So much remains undone, so much time has been wasted. It only goes to show that you don 't realize howprecious something is untilyou lose it. One minute we played with our legos and teddy bears, the next, we crammed for that monster exam on the nervous system. Lbfe got complicated prettyfast, and it 's not going to slow down. All we can do is make the most of it, using what we have learned, and by hanging on to our childhood immortality. For when we've lost that, we've lost ourselves. Rideyour dreams through to the end no matter how hard they try to buck you off I wishfor all ofyou: Luck, success, and immortality. Have a good grad and afantastic lU'e. Chris Riedmueller
