own battles. By this time in life we
should also know what is good for
us and what isn’t. Life isn’t as
difficult as it seems. In the eyes of a
teenager, adult life seems like such
a challenge. There will be bills to
pay, a steady job, and possibly a
family tosupport. Ifyou take things
one at a time a nd try your be st to
succeed, lifecould bejusta little bit
better and easier.
But no matter how easy or hard
life gets to be for you, there will still
be all the enjoyable memories from
the past. Some of my favourite
memories include: the time when
the goat ate Brent’s dollar bill, or

on our behalf. A lot ot tine teachers
are leaving us to pursue their thirst
of adventure and control and
knowledge. Good luck to you and
your new students.
As we leave the red brick
schoolhouse, we are soon to enter a
larger red brick building with two
stories. We will certainly need road
maps for directions but the chal
lenge will be met. Our choices have
been made and we will all be going
our different pathways to careers
of our choice. We want to thank our
teachersfor their guidance, en
couragement, and knowledge. We
thank our parents for their support
and love. Want to thank especially
the classes for choosing me for this
privilege to speak on their behalf.
We want to thank all the people
who are helping to make this day
very special for us.

what about when Mrs. Hoerning’s
white rat got loose or about trying
todistractMr. Riley with talk about
horses. Oh, and by the way Mr.
Millson, have you lost many pens
lately? Hopefully you will also take
ah the memories of happy and sad
moments that we’ve had together
tonight.
Now at this point in time. I’d like
to say thank you to all the
wonderful people who’ve helped
get us all here tonight. To a 11 the
teachers who taught us what we
needed to know and more, to Mr.
Jewitt who kept us all in line, to Mr.
Lee who cleaned up after us. And to
all the friends I’ve grown up with.
Graduating seems like a dream

into the school, into the Grade five
classroom we were reluctant to
leave the TV behind!
Our teacher, Mr. Garland,
introduced us to a higher level of
learning. We did a lotofartand
literature. We were also given time
to play the odd game of two-pitch
which we played as a class. This
helped tobringus together, closer,
as the class we are today.
InGradesix, most of our time
was spent in the library in activities
ranging from research to poking
holes in the terrarium, to cranking
up the heat. Obviously, not all of
these activities were supervised by
our grade six teacher, Mr. Gillies.
Yes, this was the year that we
gained Jimmy Cook, and also was
the year that we grew a little more
devilish each day! There was once
an incide nt of an exploding pen,
but I won’t go into that!
On to grade seven, in which our
cometrue, but leaving friends isn’t
easy. Now since we must say
goodbye I’dliketodoitmy own
way, so I wrote this poem for you,
my friends.
Memories are essential to every
one’s life.
Whether they involve happiness or
strife.
Some fade a bit, some are happy or
sad,
But I’ll always remember the best
times we’ve had.
Memories and friends, they go
together,
They stay in your mind in any
weather.
Though sometimes the world
seems to treat you unfair,
teacher was Mr. Garland. We
further pursued art, literature and
science. This was the grade in
which we did a whole lot of other
things, too! But all too soon we
were promoted onward to the last
grade of our public school. It wps
the one we had been waiting
a nd the one that we all expected the
most of - Grade Eight!
We all learned a lot in this grade,
and with Mr. Colquhoun, what
could go wrong? They said that our
colour was black, and that we were
rebellious. Yes, well, maybe a
little, but we’ve matured since the
fire extinguisher and much of the
teasing. I’m sure we all agree that
we’ve learned the most out of this
year and its accomplishments!
Now all we can do is to wish the
best to each other, because not all
of us are heading in the same
direction. But I’m sure that in our
minds, and in our hearts, this class
of ‘88 will be together forever!
We’ll always be friends and show
you we care.
Friends are so special, so never
forget,
To treat them all with loving
respect.
As you think about the years and
memories too,
Friends thatyou miss, will also

mauuu”. This of course is Mr.
Parsons.
“You, 25 situps, now!’’ was one
of his favourite sayings and we
can’tforget his hobby. Without
computers, this man’s life would
be a bore. His name is Mr. Prior.
When it comes to English, she’s
an expert. I’m sure that all the
graduates will agree when I say
that this year has prepared us for
high school but has also been fun
with camping and the formal. We
couldn’t have gotten through the
year without her. Of course, she’s
Mrs. Raymond.
What a memorable laugh! She
teaches grade 2 but also made it
possible for us to go to camp and to
Talisman along with Mr. Parsons.
This can be no one else but Miss
Blake.

but high school is like the start of
another book. We’ll have to start at
the Prologue and go up. But that
means we’re going to have to split
up, and with us going to different
high schools and taking different
courses we might not see each
other for a long time so I wish you
all Good Luck! And last but not
least I’d like to thank all the parents
miss you!
And my Great Grandma wrote
this for me:
Time past is gone.
Time future is not and may never
be.
Time present is the only time for
thee!
Thank you!
Bonjour! She plays the accor-
dian and speaks German, English
and French. She will also be
leaving Brussels Public School as
well as the graduates as she will be
graduating into motherhood, ifyou
haven’t already guessed. This is
our French teacher, Mme. Boett
cher.
I believe as years go by, we will
look back at our public school days
and only then realize how very
important they are.
My years in public school were
the best years of my life, and I’ve
been thankful thatl was able to
spend my last 2 years in Brussels.
As I go on to bigger and better
things, I shall not forget these
wonderful people here, at Brussels
Public School.
And to the Graduates, “See you
at Madill’’!
for standi ng beside us all, but to
mine especially - I’d like to thank
you for all you’ve done for me. I
couldn’t have done it without all
your support and confidence in me.
The future is what we make it. It
is waiting out there for us, let’s go
out to meet it and let the world
know we mean to make the best of
it.
