15 Maledictory Tonight marks the goal for which we students have been striving for a long time—graduation. It symbolizes the end of our school life and the beginning of our life as adults in a working world. While we are in a way glad to have ac¬ complished what we set out to do—finish grade twelve—we are sorry to think that our high school days are over. Now, when they are almost over, we begin to be¬ lieve what we have all heard so often—that school days are the best days of our lives. We will miss the school and all that it stands for—friendship and fun, not to mention learning. In the future, when we look back on our life here, each of us will have his own favorite memories, but what dorm student will ever see a line¬ up of people without thinking of liver, or weiners and beans? Who of us will see a man zipping by on a bicycle without mentally comparing his speed with Mr. Whitney’s? And when I see a crowded bus, I for one will remember those wild rides uptown, when there was standing room only, and not too much of that. This year there are for the first time, some graduates who have taken their entire high school course at the Red Deer Composite School. This fact, combined with the fact that we are the first students in the school or in the province to graduate under the semester system, makes this a very special graduating class. We are the pioneers in what we hope will be a long line of students graduating from this school under this system. We have blazed a trail for those who follow, and in spite of all the talk about 1 lack of school spirit, I believe that our record— in school and out—has been a good one, and one of which we should be proud. In saying farewell to the school, we are really saying farewell to each other, for we are the school. When we go, the school as we know it- will disappear, and our place will be taken by others. Even the initials which we carved on our desks when the teacher wasn’t looking will likely seem as ancient as hieroglyphics to future students. Our relationship with each other will change too. Never again will we be class-mates, laughing together over some joke, or groaning over some impossible homework. We will be responsible citizens, whose duties will call us to many different parts of the world. But wherever we go, I am sure we will al¬ ways remember each other, and our teachers, whose sympathy and understanding have helped to make our high school life the pleasant experience it has been. Now, looking confidently forward to the future, while feeling many regrets at leaving our school, let us say to it, “Farewell.” RUTH McCAW
