IBE Mr. Wolff, platform guests, ladies and gentlemen, fellow graduates. It's wonderful to be back at B.H.S. tonight, to sit in this familiar auditorium with our friends and teachers once again. We feel as if we've returned home and yet we realize we're only stopping in to say good-bye. It's hard to believe that a short while ago we became the graduating class of 1979 as we received our secondary school honor graduation diplomas, full proof that we have successfully completed five years of study at B.H.S. Even during our last few days of school in June, this fact did not register. It took tonight; it took coming back once again to make us realize fully that ébr high school days are over; there is no turning back. This part of our lives is furnished The large group of Secondary School Graduates assemble for photo. .H.S. Valedictory Ad and an entirely new life is ahead of us. If my memory serves me correctly, my first day at High School had the auditorium looking much as it does this evening. There were two major differences though: the audience was approximately 400 frightened Year One students and rather than respecting the honored plat- form guests we shook at the sight of them. They were the initiation committee of 1974. I couldn't understand how the injustice of this situation was supposed to be fun but I must admit that I finally understood this last year as my fellow classmates and I initiated the year ones. Since those first few days at B.H.S. most of us have had many pleasant experiences. Among these were participat- ing in the band trips to Connecticut, Florida, Sudbury and Ohio or merely listening to the stories (which were often better than the trip itself); watching Mr. Austin as he donned a welding helmet and gloves and said, "Now don't worry this isn't dangerous but will the first three rows please move to the back"; during custodians' strike having to go to the main office for toilet paper and then walk through the main foyer with it tucked behind your books, and last but definitely not least were our experiences in Philosophy class 562 where we learned that we were the only class in Mr. Brunt's history of teaching, that didn't want to work but still wanted the credit. Our education has been more than simply the accumu- A 1»19 AL4fln %ÂLJLqUSS by Dianne Stevens lation of facts and informa- puts it, "ail good th tion.
