And now a few words shout my fellow graduates: u- u .i r Viola was our brsin. She supplied a lot of coirpetition, of which the rest of us weren ' t always so thankful for. Derlene was our singer. Of course that is when she managed to make it to School. Allan was the suave, silent type. , . , . v,„t„ v,-nri GrJ-ce and Judv were our workers, who were always reaoy to lend a helping hano. Vikas and Ken ' were our mad scientists. Sometimes we wondered if we would ever survive chemistry lab I iVary was always quiet— but always working. . „ u Linda— well we never saw too much of Linaa because she wt s either running tc the telephone or teaching music lessons. Cave was our athlete. Well, you name it, Dave could oo it. .nvthinc tr- Bev wes always ready with a joke, a fantastic story, well ,]ust about anything to fill in time in spares. , t u And Dianne was always the first to laugh, and laugh, and laugh. But our timies together are now enuing and we are at the crcssrceds, look- ing to the future. The road we choose will make all the difference in the years to come. For we can choose the brcaa highway or the narrow pathway. The way we choose will depend on what we are searching for, for the future will be what we alone make it. ' Ahat one of us do not want fame and fortune — but this alone will never satisfy. We must set a goal end strive for it— but we must not get so wound UD in material things that we forget all else. For som.e of the rich- est and m.ost famous people in the world today are the loneliest. For without friendship, faith, ana happiness, is life really worth living? If you can ' t be a highway then just be a trail If you can ' t be the sun be a star; It isn ' t by size that you win or you fail — Be the best of whatever you are 1 And so as we face the future tonight, we should listen to the words of Emil; Dickinson and apply them to our own lives: ■ ' If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain; If I can ease one life the aching Or cool one pain, Or help one fainting robin Unto his nest again I shall not live in vain. As I stand here tonight and see the faces of my friends, I recall the wie- ner-roasts, the little get-to-gethers ana the serious talks we ' ve had. It is hard to shut the doors on these, the things that have been and shall be no more. We do not know whether our paths shall cross again, but those dear memories shal miake us kin forever — you and I. And so in the vears ahead we are all going to be searching for our dreams. It ' ll take a lot of ' hard work, determination ano there ' ll probably be some heartache— but it ' ll be worth it. For som.e day; each and everyone of us, in our own way will find our dreams and our pot of gold, at the end of our rainbow. VALEDICTORIAN Erenda Lackey
