HELEN FREY “Those thousand decencies that daily flow from all her words and actions.” Kronau, Sask. IVADELL BROWN She will meet with success, Unexpected in common hours. Disley, Sask. ZANE KOZOWY “The only way to have a friend Is to be one.” Osage, Sask. A Letter To Mom and Dad Dear Mom and Dad, Tonight I have been thinking over thepast three years and I could think of no better way to express my gratitude for all you have been to me, than to write this letter. How much you have meant to me, and how I have grown to realize the sacrifices you have made for me! You were always there with encouraging words and a helping hand and I knew I could always turn to you when in doubt and desparity. Tomorrow is graduation day and you will be out there in the crowd, letting me take all the glory, when you should be up there with me as it is you who deserve most of the credit for this moment. It seems like only yesterday when I took that first big step. I remember the empty feeling I had when I felt the door close behind me as I entered the first phase of training, but I went forth with confidence as I knew you were beside me to guide me, to give me the support I needed so much. At each new challenge your words would echo in my mind and give me the strength to accept the challenge and conquer it. At capping you were there as 1 was officially accepted into the training school, as I went up the first rung of the ladder. The second and third years have slipped by so quickly. I’m sure you never knew what to expect - first a letter of woe and despondency, then one of excitement and--I think it was you, dad who suffered the most-your pocketbook anyway. How you would laugh when I came home and related my many blunders! But you were always there sharing my moods and sympathizing-sometimes scolding, but ever ready to lend a helping hand. I sincerely hope I have justified your pride in me, and in the future continue to live up to the standards you have set for me and encouraged me to follow. Thank you, mom and dad, a small word to express the deep appreciation I have for your constant faith, guidance, and assistance. I can only thank God for having two wonderful parents like you. Your loving daughter.
