have a seat, todd.
i see from your record and from what mr. french tells me that after a minor slip up last semester you're right back on course. straight a's for the quarter so far. and i hear your little slip didn't bother the folks up at stanford too much either.
looks like that little talk with your.  grandfather.  really helped. well, we don't want to keep you too long. you tell him.
she failed it.
stubborn girl.  what we're telling you, son, is that because sally chang -
because sally chong wouldn't hack up a baby pig, you snuck by her in the rankings. so if you can keep your grades up for two more months -- any reason that shouldn't happen?
then you'll make valedictorian, todd. congratulations.
thank you, miss little for that superb invocation.
and now it gives me great pleasure to introduce a young man who's academic achievement at this institution stands as testament to the power of hard work and determination. todd had a tough time a few months ago, so by god, he buckled down, hit the books, and pulled himself through it.
ladies and gentlemen, students and faculty, here to deliver the student remembrance for the class of 1985, this year's valedictorian, todd bowden.
andrew woodman.  donald young.  karmisha youngblood.  david zedek.  kyle zuckerman. the graduating class of 1985.
now we invite all the friends and parents to join the students and faculty in the main courtyard for refreshments.
