Speaklog .on behalf of -such a diverse group of -individuals is vary difficult.' We started out as strangers, people just walking around trying to find the meaning of life. We did not and pethapm could not even imagine that in these short years, we would .be this much more wiser, stronger, and confident in our own abilities to look after ourselves. The lessons we have learned will remain in our hearts and minds for- ever. Just like in kindergarten when we learned the alphabet our years at SDHS have been formative ones. We started in kindergarten by learning each letter and then compiling them into words, sentences and stories. Welcome to our distin- guished guests, teachers, family and friends and mos( importantly, graduates. These past years in high school have been like that - stories, books, recollections. This is how we see our SDHS alpha- bet. A -ACHIEVEMENT. Tonight we recognize the achievements of the graduat- ing class of 1997. Congratulations. B -BE THE BEST YOU CAN BE. Now that our high school years are over we real- ize that our experiences at SDHS have enabled us to use our unique talents to begin to find our place in the world. C -CHANGE. Most people resist change and yet it's the only thing that brings progress. We have changed since grade 9. Many have grown into individuals that are a far cry from the grubs we used to be. D -DEVELOP OUR SKILLS. We've spent our high school years meeting the standards of the staff to refine our skills. Those skills now become the building blocks for new ones. �E-E'N'TH'USIAS'M. Enthusiasm is like a ripple on the water. it spreads. Who can beat that Golden Bear spirit? F -FOLLOW OUR DREAMS. Apprenticeship to university life, we arc all in pursuit of our dreams. We had mentors here at SDHS in teachers and students who encouraged us to dream and set goals. G -GO. GO. GET 'EM. GRRRR! H -HOLD ON TO OLD FRIENDS. We must under- stand that friends come and go but with a precious few we should hold on. Work hard to bridge the gaps of geography and lifestyle. The older you get, the more you need the people you knew when you were young. 1 -I'VE learned that we only grow when we push our- selves beyond what .we already know. J -JUST DID IT. Finally. K -KNOW OURSELVES. We have experienced so many different things. From dances and milk chug a lugs and fundraisers to clubs and team events. We have learned where our strengths and weaknesses lie. This knowl- edge enables us to make pos- itive choices. L -LEARN. We have learned that if there were no problems. there would be no opportunities. M -MAKE IT HAPPEN. If we wanted something, we went for it. We made it a • reality. N -NAMES AND NUM- BERS. At SDHS everyone knows everybody. In the "real world" we are all just a number. The personal atmos- phere helped give us a sense of our own identity. O -•OVERCOMING •OBSTACLES. All of us here have overcome great obsta- cles in our years at SDHS Vaiediatoriesrs Carly Pretreat .Christi D natrtt dents of the HuronCounty Board of Education as it opens up the world to us.

P -PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT. We have learned the art of priorities and excuses. We have found that being ill isn't a valid reason for tardiness but "Mental Health Days" are accepted. Q -QUESTION EVERY- THING. Search for the inner truth. Things arc not always as they seem. R -RESPECT. We have all learned to respect ourselves and each other. S -SMILE! T -TREASURE. Treasure your high school experience. you'll never have another one like it. U -UNITE. We arc gradu- ates of one of the greatest schools around, therefore we are united by our special con neetions to each other. Our memories of athletic teams, beach days and grad trip have brought us together. V -VALUE. Value today, because regrets over yester- day and the fear of tomorrow are the twin thieves that rob us of the moment. W -WE. We have learned to have fun, to make the most of our moments together.
