text: the greatest speech u ever heard?   my sophomore year of high school, that year's valedictorian gave a graduation speech i will never forget.   at my high school, we had an "intruder alarm". if there was an intruder in the school, a secretary would go over the intercom and announce "mr. principle, would you please take the red stapler to the whatever hallway?" well, he got up on stage and the very first thing he did was hold up a red stapler and say "mr. principal, i've found your red stapler."  he then went on to impersonated just about every teacher in the school, which is quite a feat, considering our school had nearly 60 teachers, if not more...  finally he tied it all in saying that his time at the school had been a time where he had grown, made friends, and was prepared to move on in his life.   it really was one of the best valedictorian speeches i'd ever heard.
