Head Girl's Address Headmaster, Honoured Guests. Ladies and Gentlemen. Staff and Fellow Students. How. in a few minutes. do you capture the very essence. gratitude. and aspirations of 128 diverse and multi-talented graduates? I pondered, I procrastinated. and in desperation even at- tempted to bribe Mr. Featherstone to write this for me. Mr. Featherstone is incorruptible. In short, it was the best oftimes. it was the worst oftimes. it was ' the age of wisdom. it was the age of foolishness . . . we were all go- ing direct to heaven. we were all going direct the other way . . and now, but for a brief week. the first stage of our education has been completed. Though not quite the French Revolution. this year. like any other graduation year. has had its trials and tribulations. In the midst of a year of tirsts our weary priests and prostitutes were once again reduced to penury as they donned the garb of the roman slave. Fun sports day dramatically altered our perspective ofjust how many hot dogs one person can consume. The great golden sundial, however. never quite came into its full glory. Throughout we endeavored to succeed - whether academically. athletically, or in debating, art. music or drama. Many of these achievements have been honoured today - unlike those of our heroes. They range from those who unseltishly shoulder thankless tasks. to those who strive so hard for excellence that they never quite achieve. Though their untlagging strength of character and determination are integral parts of our school life, they are most often unwittingly passed over. Which brings us naturally to the devoted but often inaligned teacher. cursed vehemently for excess homework. sometimes gruelling standards. etc.. etc. - the list goes on: their idiosyncrasies. perseverence. and tremendous effort create a bond with students that we will find very difficult to break. We have heard rumours. however. that you secretly sigh with relief the day after we're gone. As a graduation class. we wish to extend our best wishes to Mr. Schaffter, whose talent at public relations, trademark camera and concern have drawn us from many parts of the globe, To my fellow graduates: We are the grad class of '88. I wish you success and personal happiness in all your endeavors. Kirstin Gunther
