HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Citizen, 2007-07-12, Page 17By Nicole McIntosh and Luke HarrisonHoly, it’s hard to believethat Grade 8 is over.Our last year of elemen-tary school has been ablast. We’ve participated in numerous activities such as soccer, which the boys placed first and the girls placed third. In basketball both the boys and girls teams placed second. We also participat- ed in cross country, volleyball and track and field. Best of all we did was our year-end trip to Camp Celtic. We made lots of memories there that will always be with us. Some of the events that happened at camp included rock climbing, flags, singing at the camp- fires and many embarrassing moments at the dining hall. Another extremely embar- rassing moment was when both the McCallum boys decided they could jump over a massive puddle. They ended up embarrassing them- selves miserably and soaking the only clothes that they had left. We wouldn’t have experienced Camp Celtic if it wasn’t for Mrs. Reynolds, so thank you! At this point in our speech we would like to say a little something about all the graduates of 2007. To start things off the dynamic duo Katie and Nicole. These two girls have set a record stating that they were the only two kids smart enough to skip school, then come and hang- ing out in the school parking lot. Now that’s funny. The next two are the McCallum boys, Luke and Curtis. People say they are a lot alike, but they have totally different personalities. Curtis is a soccer phenomenon and Luke is the clumsiest kid alive. However, he has always something funny to say. These next two girls may wear dark clothes but they are very colourful people. They are Kristen and Amanda. Next up is one of the wildestkids in our class, Big Mac akaScott Forde. I don’t think I’vebeen more scared in my lifethan when this guy chasedme across the school yard.O hey, there’s Andrea … hey Nicole there’s Andrea. Andrea is known for taking time to think about things. She is also know for being good at sports. Next we have Michael Farr and Rikki-Lynn. You can always count on Rikki for not missing an episode of CSI or missing a free-throw shot in basketball. Mike, Mike, Mike he may not hand in his homework all the time but he is always laughing at something. You won’t catch these two girls separated, they stick together whatever the case may be. They are Joelle and Olivia. Next is Stubbs, or as most of you know him Scott Selvey. He is always the one to give you good competi- tion in any sport. Nikki Steep was born with a talent for singing and playing the piano. She is destined to life on the stage. Dalton and Ryan, these two are always together and although Ryan is a shy kind of guy, Dalton definite- ly makes up for it. Katelyn Govier is definitely prone to drama but is always having fun with her friends and Big Mac. Jessica Ryan, Katelyn’s very close friend, loves sports and is very aggressive when it comes to hockey. The next prime minister of Canada is going to be Scott Campbell. He is a very good goalie in hockey and is interested in many sports. This guy is going to be the next Bobby Orr. He is very smart and always cracks out a joke. This is Jordan. Brodie and Dan are very competi- tive in gym class for every sport. You put on a sweat just watching them play. Sky is a quiet girl but is really mighty when it comes to track and field. Zach and Brandon you can see together a lot. They are the crazy two out of the bunch and enjoy bik- ing to school even though they live in Egmondville. Next is the Baer, aka Jessica. She loves to shop and always seems to be fighting with her little brother. Denver is the comedian of the class. He may be small but he can put up a good battle in basketball. There’s always one girl in every class that has to be that one giggly girl. She always has the latest gossip and stories … this is Hailey Maxwell. Sit up Eric. Eric may not like standing up for O’ Canada in the morning, but he always has that little smirk on his face and you can always catch him beating people in basketball. Briana, is the king of shotput and can always be seen laughing. Even if Alex isn’t the best at something he always tries his hard- est and he always makes French class very interesting. Although we don’t know much about Melissa we had found out over the past few weeks that she is a very nice girl. Next we have Mitchell. You can always count on this guy for know- ing the latest information on cars, bikes and the Simpsons. Amanda Nicholson loves to play baseball and you’ll never catch her missing a school dance for anything. Kyle enjoys watching hockey and competing in track and field. Laura may be quiet but when she gets out with her friends she always has something to talk about. I don’t remember a year where Devin didn’t win ball throw. He is always competitive whatever the sport may be. He also knows every yo momma joke in the book. Next is Kelsey Glew. She is always hanging out with Sky and you can always see her laughing her head off in the middle of the soccer field. Luke Harrison can be seen run- ning vigorously with Luke McCallum across the soccer field hoping to not get killed by Big Mac. Luke is also always joking around with somebody.
