MiflliilsteiS ' VALEDICTORY SPEECHES The years spent in high school can be looked upon as a pathway leading from childhood through adolescence to young adulthood. Now we have reached the end of this path, perhaps more quickly then we first realized, and we see before us a great challenge - a challenge to use the knowledge and skills gained in our school days to make a better, more tolerant, more peaceful world for those who follow. But before accepting this challenge, we linger and look back down the pathway, remembering with joy mingled now with melancholy sadness, the memorable events at Viscount Bennett. Who will ever forget the first report card, the lift you got when your name appeared on the honor roll, the first dance, the thrill of the football and basketball games and the precious excitement that followed a win, the teachers who seemed to flood us endlessly with homework but for whom wa all held secret or openly, admiration, gratitude, and respect. These are things that will live in the memory of each and every one of the graduates long after his high school years are completed. Now in our last days at Viscount Bennett we think fondly of the past and with these memories, walk boldly forward to meat the future. Abie Okazakie People often remark that valedictory speeches are so cliche- ridden and so much alike. In preparing to deliver this one, I think I have found the reason. How many ways are there to review our years in high school, to thank our teachers and advisors, to say goodbye? We cannot yet point with pride to famous graduates of Viscount, since we are only the second graduating class and our predecessors have not yet had time to make their marks. But we can take great pride in our school itself - in the beautiful building, the superior staff, the Viscount Bennett Plan which has helped us all and pointed the way for other schools to follovr - our active and original Home and School Association, which has given us so much encouragement and leadership. When we first came to Viscount, many of us felt it would be difficult to be in a school with little past and no traditions. We had not realized then what satisfaction we would find in establishing our own and in seeing the innovations planned by our principal and teachers. We leave behind us our favourite teachers and many of our friends but we take with us, indelibly written on our minds and personalities all they have taught us through their advice and examples, beyond what was on the curriculum. For this especially we are truly grateful - Kathy Osborne
