Forest industry's biggest employer says. In a: letter to The Sun, Adam Zimmerman, Noranda Mines Ltd. president, cites losses in the past year and says that higher costs could make B.C.'s largest industry uncompetitive. “As I'm sure you know, I, like many others, am gravely concerned about the lack of profitability in the B.C. forest industry and the very high’ costs we have built into the system,” Zimmerman says. “Combined with the recent depression, which may not be over yet, we have really had crippling losses, all of which leads to the position being taken with respect to the 1983 labor given an_ absolutely, free choice, might take as much as a 10- to 15-per-cent reduction in thoir wages so long as they felt it secured their job. “Of course there has been no suggestion of such a prop- osal, even though‘I'm con- vinced that the labor point of view, as ‘advanced: by their leadership, is unrepresenta- “From my point of view the situation is far past de- bate and indeed I certainly sense that our work force, tive,” Zi says.

Therefore, it is a time when we grads are filled -with mixed emotions, , Graduation means farewell. Looking back over the past 12'years, we cannot but feel a sense of sadness for we will surely miss the good times we have enjoyed under the » protective wings of our teachers. What shall we do without the esteemed “Green Bag Awards”. or the. daily inter- rogations in the office? What shall we do without late slips, — ‘false excuse notes, phoney. phone calls, fire clarms and of ‘course our favorite — final exams? We shall not be able to laugh anymore without grads like Johnny K. to keep us on our toes or even our cool dudes like the Stabbers for getting busted for skipping out on a beautiful sunny Friday afternoon. Some of us got away, but some of.us didn’t. Nevertheless, we shall forever cherish those memories which made school our second: home. _ Graduation is also a beginning. Although we will go our separate ways, we are about to enter the world of adults to realize our dreams and ambitions, to choose our careers. to face new challenges, to make our own decisions. :We will grow up and face a new way of life. We are prepared to accept both success and failure ‘for no one can tell what lies ahead. 2 i .

We cannot say that we will meekly take our place in the schenie of things. We would rather say that we have a lot of cleaning up to do before we can make the world a better place to live. Graduation means saying thank-you. We grads will be forever indebted to our parents, who put up with us for all these years. You have often told us that we were very difficult to deal with, and we agree. You told us that we were radicals, that we had no discipline and that we wanted too - much attention; and we agree. After all, we. were children. And it was children you wanted. However, we grads are proud of all you- parents out there. You stood by us through good times and bad. You laughed ‘with us when we were happy and you cried with us when we were sad. Now the time has come for the darling babies’ of the mid-60s to leave the nest and venture out in search of-their own fortunes. Next, we say thank-you to our teachers. You téo have a place in our hearts. You have reason to:be proud of yourselves for'a job well done and we want you to share with. us the joys of this occasion. Down the-years you have been to us not just teachers but also parents, counsellors and friends. You. deserve our wonder! and’ admiration for your untiring efforts in pushing us from grade to grade. We are truly sorry if we caused you any. headache, heartache or even burnout, We salute you. We grads are a living memorial to you forever. And finally, my fellow grads. We have played and toiled together for many years, At last’ we have come to the crossroads where each must find a separate way. We are at the threshold of a newer world.
