The Night Spot of the Kootenays" Come and Enjoy ceremonies at Stanley Hum- phires Secondary School. This year’s address was presented Friday by 1981 graduate, lon Varabioffs Fellow students, gradu- ates, parents, Stanley Hum- phries staff, and diatin- ‘guished guests. (Hello) We are all gathered here tonight for a common purpose; to ac- knowledge not only the past 12 years but to acknowledge the future as well. ‘Twelve years ago we em-- barked on‘a journey which has brought us all to the present. When we first started going to school most of us had no idea what we were getting Involved with (and it's a good thing‘ we didn't). All we did know was that for the first time we were finally allowed to sée both inside and out, that mysterious building into which all of our older play- mates dissppeared: during. the day. At Strat being there seemed really “neat” and we felt important, but it wasn't long before we started to get tired of authority, and of sitting in hard wooden desks (though some of you might recall being lucky enough to sit in the all-metal desks with the “bucket” seats), We always looked forward ° to that last year and it seemed to take such a long time in arriving, but now it 18 here and almost gone and where are we? — Right back where we started. Some of you might already be asking yourselves “What is he talking about?” and I don't blame you, for, too of- ten, I talk much but say little. Well, tonight I hope to do the opposite so here goes... SCHOOL! Yes, “school,” that dirty, rotten, vile word which many of us, including myself, shiver at the thought of when we wake up in the morning; “schoo),” which we so often have shaken our fists at in contempt hes finally come to an end. Take heart ‘though, my friends, there are written, Bi “school.” Well, for some, it is probably nothing more thana place to go during the day and an excuse for not doing the ‘things’ we ‘always talk about doing, but I think there is more significance in it than that.. Through studying an listening and generally being pushed to the best of our eoilities we (hopefully) chitin the. “tools”. n function . effectively ‘in the new world which we are now entering. I could go’on to say how eruel and cold this world is but that is quite obvious and saying so would perhaps be clicheish. Instead, I. would ‘rather speak. more optimisti- cally. ‘ Besides learning from the classroom thére’ are also an infinite number of things which we learn informally just being at school and being with people, for school might be considered a microcosm ie ascaled down version of real society and, through it, (probably without our even knowing it) we establish our values — that which is im- portant to each of us as in- dividuals. If we were to transport ourselves back to the begin- ning of school ife we might recall how far away gradu- ation appeared — like a dis- tant goal, and it WAS dis- tant, relatively speaking, for, having lived only six years, another 12 was exactly two lifetimes away. Even now, as we are gathered here to- night, 12 years seems like an awfully long time for it is still two-thirds of. of our lives so ahead, we Le hat "2 years is really only a fraction Service held for Alex Pereverzoff Funeral services began Friday and concluded Satur- day from the Brilliant Cul- tural Centre for Alex J.

So, of our lives and that, this is only a beginning — one ey, which leads to the, theme that .THIS year's graduating class has chosen "A Step in Time.” This phrase implies that Iife isa progression on the ‘timé-line and that completion of high-school, or, for that matter, gtade school or any designated length of time is a step. For some of us, college, marriage or some other per- sonal aim will be a step also. : However, it should be noted that there will and must al-. ways be intermediate steps, for ANY major step starts only asa major GOAL. In the corse of achieving this goal, a process. which is gradual, there are many smaller steps. Keeping this in mind, it: should become apparent that both the major goal and the individual steps are of equal importance; neither can exist without the other. Imagine yourself running a hundred, or 60 metres, It is pointless looking at your feet instead look beyond the finish line so that you do not slow down or give up before _ the finish line is reached...“ In simple terms, not only" are small steps achieved by . setting large goals but, at the same time, large goals are achieved through small look. into’ the future, take life as it comes and take another “Step In Time.” Here seems like a suitable place to end what might best be described ss a farewell address, However, the word “farewell” has a lot of neg- ative connotations and, grad- uation and 1g —.no not ig” but parting — should be thought of in more optimistic terms. Though in the purauit of personal goals, we must leave a multitude of familiar things behind, I think it best, and I hope I sepak for all the grads, to part with a greeting rather than a. farewell for though we and those that are much moi Dinner, tunch ° & breakfast.
