I only hope I can express your true feelings. Staff members, parents, relatives, friends, and of course fellow graduates, tonight we are saying goodbye. Goodbye to public school, the teachers here, being at the top of the heap, and we are saying good- bye to each other. Soon we must say hello to new beginnings, like high school, whether it be in Clinton, Seaforth, Exeter, Stratford, or London. We.must make some new friends and compete with new challenges. From the beginning of our years here at Huron Centennial we have learned many things. Since the first time we said goodbye to parents, to now, when the teachers (lucky for - them) get to say goodbye to us. Kindergarten brought us the basics we would use for the rest of our lives, the A, B, C's, and the 1, 2, 3s. Also Storybook Gardens and our visit to the hospital took place in Kindergarten. Grades one and two were spent reading, printing, count- ing and with our buddy readers. We also went on many nature hikes during those years. Grade three was the time must of us started learning our second language, for a lot of us this language was French. This was also the year all of the grade three students took swimming lessons. Gee, I wonder if Mr. Marsh has passed yellow yet? Vele Waited, clot yacvt pewee 9frasC au e� uc as Seaforth District High School Best Wishes in all your future Endeavours Tremeer Commercial Printers Main St., Seaforth 527-1640 Maryanne Hayter In grade four 1 always felt like I was being treated like a little kid. I wanted to be treated as a mature student. I soon found out in grade five that with maturity comes home- work. The year that was spent with Mrs. Thomas ` and . Mrs. Westlake went well. We studied The Secret Garden and Medieval limes. That was the year we went to the Goderich Museum anti The Historical Jail. Grade Seven was very differ- ent academically. Mrs. Ryckman teaching us the scien- tific method, and music with Mrs. Cooper. Rotary was so much better than staying in the same class all of the time. And thenia'ter.several years of anticipation' we finally made it to grade eight. I think it took a while for it to actually sink in that we were the "big" kids of the school. Though we had a year full of trials and triumphs Mr. Laye, Mrs. Lockwood, Mrs. Cooper, and Mr. Payne, not to mention Mr. Jewitt and Mr. Black have all tried . to put .up with us. Thank you all. Our visit to Twelfth Night in the fall, along with the ever -so - long -awaited -for Grade Eight Ilk were both very unique. I believe one of the favourite stops, in.. the Detroit/Windsor area, for some people was the baseball game and for others it was Studebakers. I also believe some students had the best time at the residence, although at lights out some people found it very hard to leave their dorm rooms considering all the nighthawks were staring at my door, Oh I mean the students' doors. Now tonight can you believe that we've actually made it to graduation? Through the years students have come and gone from Huron Centennial, but hope- fully they all felt accepted. Yes, we do have our own little groups of close friends, but really we are all friends here. As we move on into the future we will eventually all go our separate ways. Darcy will be the chiropractor, Anthony the artist, perhaps Pam will go far in Varsity cheerleading, eh Pam? Ryan Nicholson will be the professional ball player, Lucia will be a great wrestler, considering she's great at hit- ting herself. Leanne Keys, Wendy, Becky and I will per- haps start a hot,dog business. No matter where any of you go in life remember to follow your dreams and believe in yourself. On behalf of all the graduates here tonight I would like to thank.. some very special. people. First of all it is import- ant that we thank your parents who have been with us since day one. From changing our diapers, to helping us with homework, to guiding us through really tough times. You have taught us morals and you love us. Though we may not always say it we love you. too. Thanks Mom and Day. Also our Mom away from home, June Cooper. Thank you -very . much for the hugs, guidance, and the special talks (not to mention all the scrapes and cuts you bandaged up). I would also like to thank everyone who put so much time and effort into making this graduation so beautiful and special. To the graduates, I would like,to read you a poem which conveys my wishes for you. Keep This day forever, Someplace deep inside • your heart, This happy, hopeful, golden day When you will see the start Of all the dreams you cherish - Never let their wonder fade, Keep the expectation And the shining goals you've made, Keep the precious memories - And, all along life's way, Keep the joy and the promise of this Graduation Day! As we leave here tonight, I ask you graduates, to follow your dreams and don't ever let anyone stand in your way, because you can make anything happen if you believe in your- selves. Please do not to forget the memories we've made there. The good times and the laugh- ter, for someday we will look back and say, "Yes thosewere the good old days." - Congratulations and may God bless you all. THURSDAY A.M.
