VALEDICTORIAN VALEDICTORY ADDRESS By: Nolan Swartzentruber This is the year we have all been waiting for, for quite some time. For some, it has been twelve years, some thirteen and for others it seemed to go on indefinitely, but we finally reached our goal and this is the moment of truth. I believe that everyone that has contributed to our edu- cation should receive a special note of thanks. Our parents, our teachers and also we, the graduates. Firstly to our parents. I doubt whether anyone will disa- gree on the fact, that if it wasn ' t for our parents none of us would be here. It is easy to say thanks now but I doubt whether we were too thankful at the time when being severly reprimanded for our not quite so good marks , or getting in a little late that night we had the car, or, well maybe I had better not go into anymore detail. I am sure that n ow we can all say it did pay off, no matter how severe it seemed at the time. So again we, the graduates , give a hearty thanks to our parents who have played a vital role in making this year a success for us.
