On behalf of the graduating class I would like to especially welcome our parents and grandparents that are here. ? We also wish to welcome other relatives that we might have here tonight, as well as the teachers and their families, the board members, guests and our friends. Welcome Welcome to everyone of you - from all of the graduates. It's June again and another class from Durham is graduating, graduating, and this year it's our class. Four years seem like a long time when we start out in grade nine, but looking back now, it's hard to believe that we have completed all four. Coming from our different schools we joined together to become a shy class in grade nine. - I remember how shy and afraid we Whitby girls were to make friends with the "rowdy" Cobourg girls. As time passed, we all opened up to each other and together we make up the close class that we are today. As the years have gone and as we went through our grades a number of students have left us along the way, to go to other schools or to work. They are Gary DeJong, Shiela Fed- dema, Charlene Marchuck, Don Miskie, Debbie Harndon, Leona VanHamburg, Simon Buma, Henrietta Snyder, and Davie Bylsma. Mrs. Gelderbloem and Mr. Suk, our first home room teachers, have left us as well, but were replaced by Mr. Ward and Miss Bos. A few students have joined us over the past years, Bernie Klum- penhower, Grace Tamsma and Ingrid Pypker. But, none Town to Spend $ 2,000 to Update its Computers, But Won't Buy More in 1983 The expenditure of $2,000 to help make the Town of Newcastle's computer equipment more efficient was approved by the town's general purpose committee Monday, June 20.. However, councillors have decided that the municipality will wait until next year before considering considering an expenditure of $5,337 for additional equipment requested by staff. The expenditure approved approved by the committee included included one software package package which will provide more detailed financial information information and a second package which will be used by the clerk's department. Treasurer Kathryn Campbell told the committee committee that the town has a three-year agreement for leasing computer services. She also suggested that the lease is an interim measure until the town is able to buy its own equipment in three to five years. The treasurer estimated that the computer equipment equipment which has been purchased purchased by the town thus far costs $50,000 to $60,000. In addition, the municipality pays $40,000 to $50,000 per year for rental of computer services. Councillors indicated Monday that they could not support the spending of more than $2,000 on additional additional computer equipment because funds have not been provided in this year's budget. "We've spent a fair amount of dollars that we hadn't planned for," observed observed Councillor Diane Hamre. The acquisition of a new copying machine was also approved by the general purpose committee and recommended recommended to council for consideration. The new machine would be acquired under a lease/ purchase arrangement at a cost of $366.16 per month for 60 months. of these changes has left as much of an impact on us as Gaby's death. Her death came as a shock to us and it made us realize how fragile and precious precious life is. Gaby Batalaan has in some ways drawn many of us closer together. Our thoughts are with her parents tonight. When I reflect over the four years and the things I've taken in, I find it a little difficult to sort things out. From the time we came to Durham as teeny hoppers to this very night, we have not only learned the lessons of our courses, but, we've learned about Christian living, about testing the spirits around us, about making responsible decisions and discovering ways of reacting to sin through non-violence. I think we are blessed to be able to learn these things in a Christian Christian perspective, in which we can understand ourselves and our tasks, and live together in community. As a class, we want to respond respond by saying thank you, VERY much. We say thank you to our parents who have guided us through Durham, who have sacrificed for the high cost Christian education and for being great moms and dads! We want to thank the teachers, who I think are like disciples of Christ, who have shared and opened themselves and taught us their kingdom vision and beliefs. We thank the members of the various boards who keep Durham moving and its doors open for all young people. But our most joyous thanks of all, goes to our God. He has been our constant guide and strength and has not once failed us. In response to His many gifts we should remember and live out what we've learned here, to live obediently, to put our trust in Christ, and to follow His steps. We must respond this way in everything we do, in our words, our work and even in our play. I experienced experienced that type of commitment this year in playing volleyball. When I went out and played, everything else was left behind; behind; I focused my attention on the game, gave my all and enjoyed myself! And I think that total concentration is the kind we have to give to Christ. The song from James Ward "So this Honour" which was played at school when Gaby died, describes a true life of service to Christ. These words became very real to us: "For it is my deep desire and my hope most eagerly, that I not be put away to shame at all. But that with perfect boldness, that which I've been trying to do, so His honour may be seen in my body. So His honour may remain in my mind. So His honour may be seen if I live or if I die, I may even have to die, so His honour may be seen in me." Our verse tonight tells of the promise Christ gives us if we do honour His name, if we do live for His honour. God promises promises to bless us by establishing establishing our plans. With the wisdom of those two texts in our hearts, we can be confident to face our future and be ready for our next challenge life brings.
