Megan Jessiman, Head Student Ladies and Gentlemen, Honored Guests, Mr. Schaffter, staff, and fellow students: Over the past year, our graduating class has been praised and oc- casionally criticized for being the most spirited group in years. Indeed from the classroom to the rugby field to school trips, we have all shared an incredible enthusiasm for our friends, teachers, and SMU. In writing this speech, I tried to determine why our graduating class will remember each other and the school with such gratefullness and affection. First of all, we must acknowledge the academic benefits we have derived from the school. Though our attitudes and abilities have ranged from the somewhat unregulated brilliance of Rob Murphy to the highly disciplined studies of Kevin Yick, we all have, in spite of, or in ac- cordance with, our plans, learned a great deal. We have all benefitted from being part of SMU in its rise to Canadian mathematical prominance. Though many of us have wondered how Tammy's face ever became associated with the slogan Does Maths Matter? , few of us can deny that maths did matter at SMU. Academically, we have learned far more than techniques for excelling in math, chemistry, or physics contests. In biology, we learned that foetal pigs are more fun to hang on trees than to disect, and in geography we all learned about that ubiquitous machine -the sub-surface cultivator. On a more serious note, we are indebted to SMU for developing in us habits and instilling in us knowledge which can only benefit us in our future. More than academic wealth, we have found a wealth of people. In fact to characterize our class would be an impossible task. We really have something for everyone. For the gymnastics enthusiast, there is John Morgan with his talent at climbing walls and performing back flips. For the scottish dialect enthusiast we have our ever- enthusiastic rugby captain, John Parkinson. Furthermore, few classes can boast having members from the three great remote outposts of Millarville, Saskatoon, and Port Townshend. More important than any individual characteristic however has been the extraordinary closeness that we all feel for one another. Few people anywhere will ever be as fortunate as we have been in meeting, getting to know, and loving what can only be inadequately described as the greatest group of friends. Though at any school it is possible to make friends and learn academically, there can be few schools where students gain the further benefit of getting to know their teachers as friends. We will always remember SMU with a special affection for our human teachers with their endearing eccentricities. There was Mr. Richards whose tie seemed to be in a continuous migration from the ventral to dorsal sides of his body and few of us will ever forget Mr. Greenwell our basketball and math coach with an almost uncontrollable enthusiasm for both sports. Of course, Mr. Featherstone will be remembered as Gren of ski trip fame and Mr. Laidlaw's laugh will linger in our minds. Those students carrying on the study of chemistry will certainly miss Mr. Jones. After all, how could bonding ever be studied unless it were BONDIN. Although it is their lovable quirks that have made our teachers so memorable to us, it is from their unceasing care for us as students and friends that we have come to love and respect them. We have indeed been very fortunate as students in SMU. Because of the unbeatable academics, devoted teachers, and warm friends that we have found here, our years at SMU are something that we will treasure for ever. Thank You.
