To the prefects: I don't recall another prefect body that shares the same views and has the same opinions. You guys stuck up for what you believed and never let the interests of yourselves override those of your duties and school. I have no doubt in my mind that you guys will be very successful in the future. To my fellow marries: when are we ever again going to have all our friends in one institution at any one time? When will we be able to walk twenty metres and have a cup of coffee with a mate and chat, or when are we ever going to stand in the chapel and sing a hymn with our friends standing beside us or bind our arms around the guys next to us and sing Shosholoza together,or sit in the classroom and have a good laugh at the teacher shouting at our mate for something silly, or be able to demonstrate our ability in sport because it's always provided there for us,or listen to those rumours about a party over the weekend, or have the never-failing support from our friends through the bad times, getting us back on our feet again. And lastly and most importantly wearing the uniform you are wearing right now and being able to say we are from Kearsney College. Guys you have been great and have made this year an absolute pleasure for me,thank you. Lastly remember Winston Churchill once said,"This is not the end. It is not even the beginning ofthe end. It is the end ofa beginning." Thou sayestfarewell, andlo!I have thee by thy hands,and will not let thee go. Thank you for your loyal support to this school and most importantly,thank you for giving me the opportunity to attend this great College. To the school,I would like to congratulate you guys on being a part of the truly outstanding 80th year this College has had. I firmly believe and feel very satisfied that the future leaders will uphold the strong traditions and discipline that make this school unique. Good luck to you all and I look forward to returning as a proud old boy who will always remember the impassioned spirit ofthis College. In the words of Robert Bridges, "Thou sayest farewell, and lo! I have thee by thy hands,and will not let thee go." Thank you. B TAYLOR To Mr van den Aardweg: You have moulded into the Kearsney family so quickly and have had the most brilliant rapport with all the boys of the College. Thank you and your very enthusiastic stafffor your dedication to us boys. To my parents. Even though you were not here every weekend you still gave me the utmost support,love and advice whenever I needed it. 14
