Times-Advocate, 1983-10-19, Page 24Page 24 Times -Advocate, October 19, 1983 Parents thanked by valedictorians at Friday's South Huron Commencement Although it was the 1982-83 graduating students who were being honoured at South Huron District High School's Commencement, Friday night, the parents of the graduates were acknowledg- ed for thanks and congratula- tions by both of the students delivering valedictory addresses. Mike Fleming who is presently at Radio College in Toronto spoke on behalf of the grade 13 class in the warmly humourous style that he polished in his position of last year's social convener. He reminded the graduates that "our parents started it all and they back us up all the way. We couldn't succeed without them." The South Huron teaching staff wasalso thanked "for their knowledge, understan- ding and leade. ship." Flem- ing advised his classmates to build upon their successes and "set goals but don't despair if they are not reach- ed. Turn to your friends for understanding." The value of friendships, new and especially old, was stressed by Fleming. "Old friendships are never broken...and as Abraham Lincoln once said, "The bet- ter part of one's life is the friendships we encounter." Speaking for the graduating grade 12 students, Melanie Lovell also considered how much the students owe to the people who brought them in- to this world. The art student now atten- ding Beal high school in Lon- don saw South Huron as a "valuable building block for the years to come." Former principal J.L. Wooden found returning to South Huron, as the principal of Central Huron very strange. He said that he will tend to remember best his first and last graduating classes of South Huron. Congratulations and best wishes were extended to the graduates by the director and several members of ' the Huron County Board of Education. Dr. John Goddard has been attending South Huron Commencement Exer- cises since 1955. Harry Hayter welcomed new .rinci.al Bruce Shaw, whom he was sure "will be full of surprises. " In his closing remarks prin- cipal Shaw challenged the graduates to invite change, accept it and don't fight it. Both Shaw and Wooden ex- pressed the unexpectedness of their change in position and Shaw advised, "Don't close doors, be ready for everything." Shaw acknowledged the work of the teachers who had planned the exercises. He also mentioned that a total of over $10,000 was spent on awards, plaques and scholarships for Commencement and the Honour's Banquet. The student's coudcil presented thetop students' in each of the 15 grade 13 courses with a cheque. The Council also presents Citizenship Shields to three graduating students who have made outstanding contribu- tions to the life of the school and the community.
