Valedictory Address Teachers, parents, fellow students and friends: We as graduates, have reached a climax in our school life. Our dreams and ideals have become a reality and now, filled with excite¬ ment and expectation, we stand at the threshold of an independent life. Our life in school can be compared with that of a bird. On first entering the school doors, we broke the shell surrounding our very small world and stepped into a larger world with a feeling of bewilder¬ ment and solicitude. Painstakingly we were fed educational food during which the feathers of knowledge gradually began to appear. Slowly, but steadily, this armour of knowledge continued to grow until one day we came to a turning point. We have reached that turning point now. As full-grown nestlings we are winging our way from the nest of dependence to a life of independence. However, we do not leave without a marked feeling of sadness. Never will we forget the days in which the entire student body worked together towards a determined goal—the school play, the literaries, ball games, etc. The hopes and fears associated with examinations will long linger in our minds. Best of all, we will never forget the many friends, both students and teachers, we have learned to know and love during these years. What we have achieved after these twelve years is of greatest im¬ portance. Our life a+ school has taught us how to work in harmony with students as well as teachers. We have learned to voice our opinions irrespective of others , but to consider everyone’s point of view. Then, last but not least in significance, we have our high school education which will open many doors to services we can render to God and man. We must express our gratitude to those who are responsible for achievements made. We thank the teachers who have done their utmost in helping us to attain this goal. Then we must also thank our parents for words of encouragement given when we were tempted to give up the battle. In conclusion I would like to encourage all students to continue until they have attained this goal. Surely it is worth your while to lengthen these “Golden Years” of your life. Thank-you. —Irmgard Braun, Gr. XII
