Johnstone’s address marks end of 12 years

__ It has been the tradition
of this paper to reprint, in full
context, the Valedictory Add-
tess from the graduation cer-
emonies at Stanley Hum-
phries Secondary School.

This year's address was
presented by 1980 graduate

Doug Johnstone.
s . s

Welcome fellow gradu-
ates, proud parents and fam-
ilies, teachers and distin-
guished guests.

Today, June 13, 1980,
marks the graduation of 200
of my close and dear friends
from Stanley Humphries. It
also marks the culmination of
12 years of hard work that we
have completed in order to
make this day possible.

Once a distant dream,
graduation has a_ certain
magic about it that makes it
an unforgetable experience
for us. There is no single word
that comes to mind to des-
cribe Grad. It is a combination
and a representation of many
things.

It is a representation of
maturing over a period of 12
years and of what we have
achieved in that time. It is a
tepresentation of the happy
and not so happy things that
have moulded us into what we
are today, for school is a
mould that helps determine
what we are to become in the
future.

Graduation is a represen-
tation of leaving the protec-
tive halls of Stanley Hum-
phries and setting out on our
own. And it is a represen-
tation of the end of the most
important social interaction to
occur in our lives.

We have made our dear-
est acquaintances here and
we have discovered, in one
way or another, how to be our
own individuals and how to
face our futures.

Two weeks ago, I set out
to write this speech. At first, I
thought to myself, ‘Well,
Doug. this should be a
breeze.’’ But when I sat down
to write, 1 discovered the dif-
ficulty of trying to put my
feelings and the feelings of
say 200 fellow graduates on
paper. .

As I progressed, how-
ever, | found that it became
easier, because three things
seemed to overpower my
other thoughts. Firstly, I felt
pride. | was proud of myself
for enduring the 12 grueling
years when others had failed.
I was proud that 200 of my
friends had done exactly the
same thing and felt the same
way that I did.

I was proud of our teach-
ers and parents, who had
guided us, endured us,
laughed and cried with us,
and who had given a part of
themselves to us in seeing us
move through the years. For
these people, I cannot find
words that would fully ex-
press the way that we feel
except for two magic words
that I was taught when I was
very young: ‘'Thank you."’

And I know that today
they can feel the same pride
in themselves as we feel for
them that they can feel the
same pride for us as we feel
for ourselves.

The second thought that I
found overpowering was the
thought of remembering and
of recollection. The theme of
our Graduating class is ‘A
Time to Remember.”’ I think
that James Montgomery des-
cribed this feeling very well
when he said, “‘Remembered
joys are never past.”*

Looking back on the last
12 years, we remember the
new friends and the new

DOUG JOHNSTONE
« . - valedictorian

teachers that we found as we
apprehensively moved
through our years. We re-
member the dancing and
partying that we did and we
temember how we missed
these things as Grade 2 rolled
around. And we were forced
to take a more serious outlook
on our education.

We remember moving
into Stanley Humphries for
the first year and wondered
when it was that those tall,
dark, mysterious Grade 12’s
were going to stop tripping
over us. We remember the
happiness of tests that we
passed and the futility of tests
that we failed. We remember
the sunny days in June when
we could have been outside
soaking up the sun but in-
stead we were cooped up in
school, sweating out the last
few weeks of June in anti-
cipation of summer vacation.
We remember how quickly
the two months flew by and
how it was once again time to
write our ‘What I Did This
Summer”’ report.

We remember losing ail’

our marbles to the older kids
in the spring and winning
them all back when we be-
came the older kids. We re-
member the tearful farewells

EMPTY WALLS of Stanley

to our friends who were mov-
ing away and the joyful hellos
as we rejoined the friends that
we had left in June.

We remember the ex-
cuses for being late and the
excuses for being caught
necking in the halls. We re-
member cheering for our
school at the track meets and
the basketball games and the
pride that we felt when we
emerged victorious.

But mostly, we remem-
ber the waiting; we always
seemed to be waiting. I mean
it really began to get frus-
trating. We waited for buses,
we waited for weekends, we
waited for the start of summer
vacation and then we waited
for the start of school and we
waited for graduation. It was
terrible!

But, my friends, I believe
that now we have reached the
target that we have aimed for
the longest — Graduation.

Ah — but don't be
fooled. We still have to wait
for coffee breaks. We have
reached the end of our sec-
ondary school education and
have reached our turning
points.

Up until now, we steered
parallel paths, but now we
must split up and develop the
individuality and character
which has been brought to us
through our schooling. We
will remember this day be-
cause this day is, in fact, a
day of remembrance for us.

The third overp

Our graduation class is
setting out, the first of the
80's, The 80's, the decade of
hope; the decade when we
will begin to make our dreams
come true.

Some of us are continu-
ing our education, some of us
are going directly to work.
Perhaps many of us will never
see each other again, while
many of us will remain life-
long friends and someday
reminisce about our high
school years.

School has finished, but
our lives have barely begun.
We'll all make new friends,
achieve different goals, but
with dreams by our side we
will all succeed. Unfortunate-
ly, we are no longer baby-
faced boys and girls, possess-
ing the innocence of child-
hood. Somehow, I wish we
still were.

But we must -now accept
the fact that we have crossed
a threshold in our lives and
must prepare ourselves for
the future.

Pride, memories, hopes
and dreams: these four things
combine to form the essence
of our graduation and these
are the four things that I
belive are in the thoughts of
every graduate tonight. So,
be proud of your achieve-
ments, store your memories,
to share in the future, and
hope and dream for the future
success and greatness that
you deserve.

I am to have

thought that ran through my
mind as I was writing was the
thought of hope. Graduation
and setting out is meaning-
less without the basic element
of hope. We must hope and
try our hardest to become
something — and to be re-
membered.

And with this hope will
come dreams. After all, the
future belongs to those who
dream. The fulfillment of our
dreams will become a foun-
dation on which we can build
our future.

up here tonight and salute
you, my fellow grads, for the
inspiration that you have bes-
towed upon me in the writing
of this address. Without you,
it would not have been pos-
sible.

For you are all a part of
me and I am a part of you, and
together we are great because
we are the grads of 1980 and
we have made it.

The official opening of

Project on the Pend-d'Oreille
River went without a hitch,
despite its taking place Fri-
day, June 13.

“Mt. St. Helens may
have erupted but every-
thing's working here,” one of

the guest speakers said dur-
‘ing the late afternoon cere-
mony.

construction since 1974, em-
ploying thousands of people
since that time.

Not one. person was
killed during the entire build-
ing process.

The first of the dam's
four generating units began
feeding power last December
— four months ahead of
schedule.

The Seven Mile Project
is the most “cost effecient”
dam in the province, B.C.
Hydro Chairman Robert Bon-
ner said.

More kilowatt hours per
anit of flooded “land are
produced at Seven Mile than
at any other B.C. dam. There
are 475 flooded acres, with
the dam occupying a total of
900 acres,

While the dam was un-
der construction, the river
was diverted through an 850
foot tunnel in a solid rock
bluff. An upstream cofferdam
diverted the river's flow
while the permanent con-
crete dam was constructed.

A second cofferdam pro-
tected the lower end of the
work site.

The dam is 250 feet high
with a crest of 1,100 feet. A
450 ton steel gate seals off
the entrance of the project's
diversion tunnel.

The entire project con-
sists of the dam, spillway,
powerhouse, switchyard, ac-
cess roads and other associ-
ated works,

Ultimate generating cap-
acity will be 810,000 kilo-
watts.

A Tribute to
All Good Fathers
on Father's Day

Oh how we loved that father of ours,

And bragged about his brawny might!

We loved and feared him, sought his favor,
His approbation our delight.

His strong, yet gentle personality
Was the warp in our loom of life
On which we wove our strands of living,
His. voice the one that quelled our strife.

His hands so quick to repair our toys,
Could also apply much-needed correction
On most reluctant posteriors,

And thus quash that insurrection.

The family’s strength is a watchful father,
Alert, and loving his family's welfare,
With guiding hand on the lives in his care,
Weaving a pattern of life that will last,

This year during the

runs, a 3.5 km. walking event
has been added.

The event organizers
feel that with the addition of
the 3.5 km. walk many new
people will be taking part for
the first time. It is hoped that
this event will attract per-
sons who like to participate
in community events and
who enjoy a lower level of

Boston
marathon take
part in Fitness

Festival

It is with great pleasure
that the Recreation Depart-
ment is able to confirm
Wendy Robertson's atten-
dance at the Castlegar and
District Fitness Festival

Robertson last year
played an active role in or- -
ganizing Castlegar's first fes-
tival. During her stay in
Castlegar last year she en-
deared the hearts of many as
the guest speaker at the fit-
ness banquet and her will-
ingness to participate and
mingle with those persons
who attended the Saturday
activities.

Since her visit to Castle-
gar, Robertson has continued
her strong performance in
marathon running. Her first-
place finish at the Seattle
marathon entitled her to
participate -in this year's
Boston Marathon. At this
world-renowned event, she
completed the 26 miles in
three hours — which was one
of the top times for female
participants.

Only two weeks after
the Boston event she entered
the Vancouver Marathon. By
doing so she was attempting
to run two marathons within
atime span of 14 days which
was rarely tried by any
athlete. Unfortunately, Rob-
ertson had to withdraw after

18 miles due to leg problems
and exhaustion.

It was through these
performances, as well as her
love and dedication for run-
ning, that she has become
known as a top female athlete
in B.C. and Canada. Reg-
ularly, Robertson can be seen
or heard on TV or radio
expounding on the sport of
jogging or marathon running.

The organizing commit-
tee is pleased to have such a
person as Wendy Robertson
assisting in making our Fit-
ness Festival a first-class
event. While in Castlegar,
she will be participating in
the fun run, celebrity com-
petition and the fitness ex-
hibition.
