imiJ watch for senior students who would gladly give you directions to anywhere but where you wanted to go and those teachers who amused themselves by chasing us out of restricted halls Even timetables were set up to work against us Did you ever notice hat all your classes were at apposite ends of the school Bui being on t as bad all that Realizing that here was more to high school than classes and homework we began to Involve ourselves In extracurricular school teams clubs mid students council There were also plays and musicals like Cam clot The Pirates of Penzance It was when we got invoked that really became part of he school At first it was only a small part as the went by each September we would return a lit tie more mature and a little and ready to play a larger role in the student body With that new change and a new sense of who v were In grades ten most of us were through our heavy metal days when the common attire seemed to be blue jeans black shirts But as grew circles of friends changed and new groups emerged This was always most evident right here in tht cafe There were also changes that oak place the school not necessarily In opinions and at titudes but In lifestyles Most at us learned to a car during our high school Suddenly whole new methods of trans porta Hon were opened up to us no more walking to and from school take he car And after school your friends a ride home all of was also this lime that wc got our first jobs usually minimum wage In some fast food restauranl along Highway Now I often what masochistic led me to think about working in one of those places know that when we look back on Georgetown District High School there will be so many fond memories not like the quadratic formula or one of Hamlet s but he significant events that we remember like a TV cummer where 400 kids in white rack dragged off to the middle of nowhere to stand in the shape of a and nil the director could say was I know you re cold smile and pretend that you re fun in of he camera Perhaps the most mcmorible events came under that favourite heading This is not a school lion an innocent sounding phrase hat for some ruson makes the warped teenager do tiling these were those liable events like the the Honda the ski trips to Mont But I do have one more memory You may hive been bothered by it too Do the grade nines re illy snorter every or is just my imagination Now nil is Whit comes next For most of us col lege or university where we will learn lo be happy with Cs rather than As and learn hat staying up all night o do homework Is natural From here it Is out Into he real world the working world Doubtless some of the graduates here tonight are going to do very well out there and when read ve sudden remember how close we were as high school friends But even if none of us becomes famous I know thai twenty or ly years from now I be cleaning out a closet or something and I come across the old Year book Then I probably sit down good three hours looking through all the old pictures the earns the clubs I II reread all the old comments and laugh at all the Inside tokes and then 1 11 start think about those things not in the Yearbook he memories the events but most of all the people the teachers who were always helpful and tried to make the classes more fun even though we wouldn t have admitted as much at the lime and nil of the students It been you who made the memories II been you who made these last five years really special and I d like to thank alt of you the lOOih Graduating Class of Georgetown Distlct High School
