Well, this is, it, It's .thne to

But POW .We beye, to go; u'ot

,otiier, .paying goodbye 110 our
teachers 474. Wends, here at—
school, andleaVing, home --.in
short,it means leaving a part
of Our lives behind. •
.But we Ca131 leave it all be-
hind — it's been 400 1111104, work
and too,: much -An. for that.
Now's the time to look back on
It all with smiles, and groans,
and the-',_oCcaSiontil•::tear. So r.—
let's think alma the past for
awhile, for SOM1 OVM.
''re111041ber , five rays ago.
We were just starting out . in
this frightening • place. And
.frlghtening 'It was. -gandreds of
people .'bustling _from, ciaM. ,to
class, bells ringing, teachers,
„relentlessly handing mit asalga-
lrieliti.- Those were the days -
when We.•,Were alireally shy. and.,
terriled.It seems strange - to
••think4tAhoip "days now. WhY
when we Wereintradelhirteeil
we felt as if we llama, ran the
place next to Mr..Pluinsteel„
of courie! And we could never
understand the timid llttle
grade. • niners! I guess '- we've •
grown up a bit since then! •
Grade nine was a good .year, .
in .,spite of all the ,vvorries of
'being a brand new high school
student. I'll never forget that
tall Scots' lady we had for
science. We used to hold our
breath all during.: her classes,
and die a thousand deaths when
slie hurled the chalk at us
guess' it wasn't .until our last
year that we really began to
• appreciate what she had done'
, for Us. She's made the. world
'around us much more alive
through • her inspired science
lessons and I'm sure tone of up
will ever forget her.'•
Back in those days, SDHS
. didn't lookat all as it does now.
It was old, bug it had character.
The old elaskoOrtla, seemed part
of kelMel. In feet, 1 guess we
got kind of used to them, and
it was sad to -see thew go; It •
was ableSt as if an old friend
Were leuving, Butwe of the '68
grsdilating classes were fortun-
ate enough to :See $,PHS grew, .
as We . ourselves matured.
knew We're all Pr.otal of .4er
now, with her modern claisa-:„
'toms and long corridors and
we hope she'll continue grow-
ing
After a year of high school,
We felt as -If we were old pro's.
In -our grade ten Year, We silt?!
the *beginning of a new grade
nine class, the people who are
gr,adafasg with. us this .Year.
It was Then that our views start-
ed' to broaden a little. We could
take tithe to look around us and
se d .whet, was happening in the
world. We began to get involv-
ed in the activities of thn'seliool'
teams,. the band, :Awl,.
leadingiqglee Club,- and the many
affairs that -made acheol,: school. :
'Pie', we were heie to RV an '
academic ecluedim,hut our e&
ithation went ranch further than
classied studies. And thialii as
it should be. Learning is a dy-
namic process, and. it embraces ,
many more fields than just the
academie one: To me, the Most
valuable part of a high -school
career is this learning, this edit- •
cation which makes real per-
sons of ss all. By getting in-
volved, we learn to understand
others as well as ourselves. Per-
sonal involvement can be a
hurting experience sometimes,
but it is a basic factiar in person-
ality development. So even if
our years at SDHS meant iioth-
ing to us academically, they
certainly', helped us enter' the
world outside tis With a. bit of
insight and, understanding.'
Time Passed so quickly in
those days. Soon we .found our-
selves half way through our
high school .careers. Each year
our class got closer together. I
guess that's one of the best parts
of going to a small school like
Seaforth — we knew all the
kids and we all had good times
• together. That's what makes to-
night so special, -- we're. all
here again, just like old times.
It also makes tonight sad, be-
cause we have to part again.
mEint that's life, and it's fuder
because of times like this and
people like us.
By the time we got to grade
twelve, we had' matured quite
a bit. I remember our stately
• history teacher whom we all ad-
mired greatly. ,It -never .peased
to amaze me to think that any-
one could make history -inter,
esting, But she did it. And well
Our -teachers became our
friends. during our last years in
school. A friendly relationship
•'between students and staff
pearls a' great deal. I think we
• all felt ' like, a friend to our
"kooky Chemistry teacher".
Classes like his were always
fun- and informative. And re-
member those experiments we
did? Some of us will never live
down the story about ()lir licit
.behig able to boil,water!
The end of grade twelve
marked an achievement4or us.
We had earned our secondary

13ut now it's all over: And our
memories are the only evidence
that we. have of thqse years.
But we can't look back • for-
ever. Commencement is a time
for beginning, for looking ahead.
We're adults now, and we have
to face up to our new roles.
We're travelling down dozens
.of different paths — some -of
us • are at Teachers' College,
some in nursing, some in uni-
versities, while others • are • hi
vocational • training. But for
each of us, the future holds a
great deal hi store. And it's our
• personal responsibility to make
our contribution to society, 'no
matter how salon it may be. I
don't know if we an a genera-
tion can change the world ---
that's a pretty big undertaking.
But I know we'll try. And if we
set our goals high, and labour
• hard, we'll ultimately „reach
success.
' 'However, no matter what
field we are in, it is important
t� remember that development
' of self is 5 far greater achieve-
zinerit than academic or mone-
• tary, success. "Marks and oracles
are only a . faint reflection of
• our real selves. Life means
much more than academic at-
tainment. It is an alVencompas=
sing experience, much' too val-
uable to waste on hours of tra-
ditional studies. So let's aim
for a full' life in whatever field
we pursue and we'll be reward-
ed fully. • ,
Well, this is really it. All I
can say. is, on behalf of all the
1968 graduates of SDHS, a. sin-
cere thank yen to our parents,
we have' been behind us all
this time, and are -still behind
us, no matter what we may do.
And thanks to our teachers and
the staff. You've made our years
here so meaningful. --And good
luck to everyone for the future.
It's been wonderful to' look
back en the things we did to-
gethe* but it's time now to
look ahead. Best wishes to all,
and goodbye, Seaforth.
