Fellow graduates, family, teachers, friends and honored guests. Graduation is the reason we gather here tonight. Such an event, provides us with the opportunity to honour the achievements and accom- plishments of all the 1995- 1996 graduates of Seaforth District High School, Coming from a small high school has enabled all of us to get to know each other and in doing so, making tonight even more special. As I look at the graduates tonight, I see friends I have made over the past five years. I will always remember the crazy times we have had here from milk suckalugs to rolling pennies down the halls. Unknowing to us, that first day of grade nine was the beginning of a journey that would lead us through years of laughter and tears, friend- ship and school. Together, on this journey, we learned about ourselves and each other, making us who we are today. I would not trade these years for the world. I would like to read you a poem that I found appropriate for tonight. It's called 'Some People'. Some people come into our lives and quickly go Some people move our souls to dance. They awaken us to new understanding with the passing whisper of their wisdom. Some people make the sky more beautiful to gaze upon. They stay in our lives for awhile, leave footprints on our hearts, and we are never, ever the same. We all have had an impact on one another and because of that impact we will never be the same. I would like to introduce to you, your Co -Valedictorian: Marcy Mc Call. We would like to thank all the graduates for letting us speak on their behalf at this ceremony, it is truly an hon- our. We also want to thank you for the wonderful memo- ries we have of SDHS. We would also like to thank the teachers for knowledge and friendship and last but not least, our families for their continuous support. We wish you all success in your future cndevours. We know you will do well. Road of opportunity BY MARCY MCCALL It is with great pleasure that I stand here tonight trying to put into words what have been 5 memorable years that I will cherish for a lifetime. But you must know this is also the most difficult thing I've done here at SDHS....to represent such a unique group that is full of special qualities.' Qualities which were there long before we went to high school, but developed gradu- ally throughout the years. I would like to share with you these words by Robert Fulgham entitled"It is hest to hold hands and stick togeth- er" Most of what I really need to know about how to live, and how to he. I learned in kindergarten. Wisdom was not at the top of the graduate school mountain, but there in the sandbox. These arc things I learned. Share. Play fair. Don't hit people. Put things back where you found them. Clean up your own messes. Don't take things that aren't yours. Say your sorry when you hurt somebody. Wash your hands before you cat. Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you. Live a balance life. Learn some and think some and draw and paint and sing and dance and play and work some every day. Take a nap in the afternoon. When you go out into the world, watch for traffic, hold hands and stick together. Be aware of wonder. Remember the book about Dick and Jane and the first word you learned, the biggest word of all "look". Everything you need to know is in there somewhere. The Golden Rule ,and love and basic sanita- tion; ecology and politics and sane living. Remember the little seed in the plastic cup. The roots go down and the plant goes up and nobody really knows why, but we arc all like that. When we arrived at SDHS, a group of curious strangers filed in these enormous gym- nasium doors, not knowing what to expect. However, within days, we soon felt comfortable wearing our super -speed Nikes to race through the dreaded front hall and being duct taped to wash- room walls and random road signs. But with the support of one another, we persevered through the years and along the way developed genuine friendships that continue to grow. Don't you think Seaforth has truly shaped a masterpiece in this group of graduates? A huge thank you to the staff at Seaforth District High, you made our times here both worthwhile and a pleasure. To our families, thanks for being there. The paths wc have taken at SDHS have prepared us for more roads of opportunity, but wherever we end up, it will always be true, no matter how old you arc, whcn you go'out into the world, it is best to hold hands and stick together. As graduates wc will know that you have a shoulder to lean on, a smile when you're sad, and an car to listen in the class of 1996.
