"What lies behind you and what lies before you are tiny matters compared to what lies within you". Reflecting on these words of Emerson, I began to look back and consider what the past five years at Clarke High School have meant to us. Scholastically we have all grown. We have graduated and now possess the diplomas to prove this. However, these past five years have given us more than this. We have grown not only scholastically, but also individually. This individual growth is best portrayed in the fact that we have all taken the initiative to do what we desire. What lies behind us? Many of us remember different things like grade nine initia- tion, Mr. Jamieson's English class, the grade 13 room, chemistry experiments, fund raising compaigns, functions tests, and all those great winter days when classes were cancelled because we were fortunate enough to live in the country and rely on buses for transportation. The list goes on! What lies before us? None of us really knows the answer to that question. The thought is somewhat frightening but at least we leave Clarke High School with two things that ease our apprehensions, our confidence in ourself and our faith in fellow man. I am speaking here particularly about the students and teach- ers that we have come to know and trust. We hope that these friendships will continue to flourish long after we have left the halls of Clarke High School. We have a great many people to thank. The teachers, whose dedicated and devoted efforts have allowed us to cultivate our individual tal- ents not only in the classroom but also in all areas of sport and music. We must also thank the office staff who never failed to ignore us when we were in a hurry and Mr. Dormer who never failed to catch us skipping a class. They cared and we want them to know that we appreciated it. Finally, we wish to thank our parents because they were always there to encourage us. I would like to wish all my fellow graduates the best of luck in the future as all of you deserve the best. Since this address is a Valedictory, in accordance with the dictionary, we should be saying farewell. Well. we are not going to say good-bye and close the doors on Clarke High School forever. Instead we are going to look ahead and say, "Hello world! Here we come!"
