casually terminate a life without a
feeling of loss at least. As a man I
still feel the loss of two of ours (and
we still talk about it) by miscarri
age, and that is 30 years ago.
Many people who heard and
read the appeal of the young lady
came to see me, full of compassion
and wondered how we could help. I
tor one would like to be able to
console them and perhaps form a
support group. Her letter has
already been a tremendous help to
a lot of us in and outside our party.
As courageous as her decision
was to write the letter so much
more could be done if more people
like her would come forward with
their testimony. So many more
lives could be saved, empty arms
filled and trauma spared. The
following is her letter:

The circus comes to school
SPIRIT DAY
On Wednesday of last week, the
B.P.S. Students’ Council organiz
ed a “Hat, Tie and Shades Day.”
The participation was excellent.
Visitors to our school had puzzled
looks on their faces when strange
looking people greeted them in the
halls.
We thank the Students’ Council
for inventing an excellent way to
boost school spirit and to put some
humour into the daily routine.
THE CIRCUS COMES TO B.P.S.
by Tina Burkholder and Erica Clark
On January 28 the grade five
class held their assembly. It was an
operetta called “Here Comes the
Circus Parade. ’ ’ It was about a boy,
Billy Watson, who ran away to join
the circus. In the end Billy got a job
as a clown during Summer Vaca
tion. Some of the students acting as
circus people were clowns, acro
bats, lion tamers, Harem dancers,
bare-back riders, magicians and
fortune tellers.
There was also a rhythm band
and some piano solos.
We wish to thank Mrs. S.
Vincent for her excellent accom
paniment.
BOARD GAME OLYMPICCS
by Stephanie Lentz and
John Ramirez
In view of the fact that the
Olympics will soon be starting, the
Grade 5 and 6 at B.P.S. held their
own Olympic event.
Atthe beginning oftheweek, the
students brought in numerous
board games. They were given
classtime to become familiar with
the board games and their rules.
On the “Olympic Day” the pupils
are allowed to team up with a friend
of their choice. In the gymnasium,
11 stations were set up so that the
students could play various games
such as Battleship, Crokinole and
IQ 2,000. These were only some of
the games brought in.
The teams rotated to another
station every 20 minutes. At the
end of the period the people with
the highest points were awarded
gold medallions. The runners up
received silver and so on.
From this experience, the stu
dents will now have learned some
new games. They will also now
make their own board games in the
following week.

of students
in jobs
Graduates of Conestoga Col
lege’s full-time diploma or semes-
tered programs achieved 95.9 per
cent placement for academic year
1986-87, according to audited
figures compiled by the College’s
Placement Services office.
The Graduate Placement Report
is a yearly survey conducted by all
Ontario Colleges of applied Arts
and Technology for submission to
the Ministry of Colleges and
Universities.
This year’s report indicated that
of 1,154 graduates available for
employment, 1,013 obtained
placements. Nine Hundred and
nineteen (87.0 per cent) became
employed in areas directly related
to their Conestoga programs.
The 1986-87 survey includes
graduates who completed their
studies in diploma or semestered
programs between Sept. 1, 1986
and Aug. 31, 1987. Thirty-six
programs from four Conestoga
campuses, are included in the
placement study.
By academic division, 1986-87
placement figures are: Applied
Arts, 96.8 per cent; Business, 93.7
per cent; Health Sciences, 100 per
cent; Technology, 95.3 per cent.
By campus, Doon graduates
achieved 94.8 per cent placement,
Waterloo graduates 96.1 per cent,
Guelph graduates 98.4 per cent
and Stratford graduates 100 per
cent.
This high rate of placement
success for Conestoga graduates
continues a pattern established at
the college. Reviewing the last five
years, placement figures have
been: 95.9 per cent (1986-87), 96.4
per cent (1985-86), 94.6 per cent
(1984-85), 93.0 per cent (1983-84),
and 92.6 per cent (1982-83).
against abortion and to tell you
about the emotional scars it leaves.
Ik now because I had one. It is the
nextworstthing to this side of hell!
Later, I’ve had feelings of guilt,
nightmares, and extreme hatred,
mostly at myself.
No matter how deeply bruised
these feelings are, they will always
surface. Please continue to tell
people about the devastating
effects of abortion.
It has only been by God’s grace
and love that I am able to continue
on with a healed life.
May God Bless You in Your Stand.
