~ The Valedictory Address:
‘Parting Such Sweet Sorrow’

As has been the tradition
of this paper in past years, the
Valedictory Address, pre-
sented this year by Rob Alex-
ander, is hereby printed in its
full contexts

.

aaa evening, honored
guests, teachers, parents, fel-
low graduates .°. . Mother.

Well, here we are, the
graduates of, 1977, at the
moment’ a little unbelieving

. that we have finally made it

this far, We have scaled the
mountains of mathematics,
slain the dragons of physics and

conquered History 12 but, most’

importantly, we have grown
from adbleseents into. young
adults.

Although we still have
much to learn about life and the
world in general,.we leave
Stanley Humphries’ with feel-
ings of both confidence and un-
certainty, for this is the end of a
part of our lives—it has been a
part where we have always had
someplace to:go.

We have learned to fly,
now we must leave the nest and
search for a place of our own.
Some of us may not settle down
right away—we may spend the
next few. years travelling the
world or return to school to
further our education. . And
then again, some of us may go
out into the world to fend for
ourselves.

Perhaps this is the sad part’
of graduation. We have made

many friends in the! last 12.

years and some oof these friends "”

we may never see again.
William Shakespearé once
wrote: “Parting is such sweet
sorrow", and it is that sweet
sorrow that we are feeling to-
night.

We have many people to
thank for our being here this

evening, Firstly, our teach- -

ers—those brave souls who
have dared to cross us on

Monday mornings and done’

their beat (although it seldom
worked) to keep us in Friday

afternoons—cannot be given
enough praise,

Not only do they put in a
full, day of teaching, but they
alsocontribute their spare time
after school for such extra

activities as music, athletics —

and drama. From us to you,
please accept ‘our. sincere
thanks for a job well done.
Secondly, our parents, who
have helped us grow up into
respectable young adults. They
have .constantly stood. behind
us, given us encouragement:
when we were down and repri-
manded us‘ when we have
strayed from the path of right-
fulness, To them, as well, and

from the heart, thanks,

Lastly, I would like to
personally - wish my fellow
grads the very best of life in the
years to come, and to thank
them for honoring me with this
opportunity to speak for. the
graduatea of 1977.

Thank you.and: good eve- ~
