Terpstra In Grade eight we are starting to work on the yearbook called “The Grey Central Echo”. Each student has a partner to do a story on each classroom of what happened during the year. There are topics to write about like Graduates, Undergrads, Spe­ cial Events, Literary, Sports and Humour. Any person could enter a title page for each of these topics.
