Whitewoods - Self Freshness lyrics

Good afternoon provost Houlihan
Thank you for
That warm introduction chairman Tully
Members of the board of Trustees, President
Dugan, distinguished guests, members
Of the administration, faculty and staff
And fellow graduates i’m honored
To be here today
To represent the winter class of 2016

So first off, congratulations!

Today, we flip the page and mark
An end to another chapter of
Our story as I look out
Into the crowd before me, i sense a wave of
Emotions from everyone present
For family and friends
The sense of pride you have
In your graduate’s accomplishments is
Unmeasurable for faculty
Another class you have successfully educated
And mentored throughout our time

Yet nothing - nothing - can top the feelings
That we graduates have right now at
This moment we made it here in one
Piece we survived all those exams
Lectures and research papers that we
Once thought would never finish

It all started a couple years back
When we opened our acceptance
Letters and decided to attend St
Francis College the small college
Of big dreams the college that
Has granted all of us
Amazing opportunities and opened doors for
Us in numerous ways

St francis, a liberal arts college
Has given us the tools we need to go
Forward and succeed st francis not only
Prepared all of us students to
Pass our GMATS, GREs, CPAs
Or any other obstacle we will
Face after this day
But gave us confidence to touch the lives
Of others and help those when needed

The qualities we have gained
Throughout our years here
Have given us an advantage after we
Leave this campus we are part of a
Very small percentage of
College graduates who
Have been exposed to more
Than just our textbooks
Molded into well-rounded and
Confident individuals we
Are ready to start the next page of
The new chapter of our story

I've been working on
Two films simultaneously
And so uh the Ultimation is giving
Me a lot of breathing room from
A Midsummer Night's, going from
Uh, black and white to color
Film and, um y-y'know, a couple of
The page reads, we read back and
Forth, and that-that's healthy um
Keep a certain freshness so

Will return!

And, y'know, the legend has it that
Those young filmmakers who
Grew up in the age of television
Have been trapped into these
Technological advances - uh
It's not something that
Interests me, personally
I think it's wonderful
