Valedictory address
Memories of East Wawanosh recalled in speech
CHERYL CAMPBELL
East Wawanosh
BY CHERYL CAMPBELL
I would like to welcome the
teachers, parents and special
guests on behalf of the 1988-1989
grade 8 graduating class.
Tonight marks a very important
milestone for each graduate here.
The first phase of our education
has just been completed and with
eagerness and yet some reluc
tance we are about to enter phase
two at F. E. Madill. What the
future holds we do not know but
the past has given us many
memories of our years at East
Wawanosh. One common me
mory was that first ride on the big
yellow bus. It was a rather
frightening experience (but I
guess we will go through it again
when we have to get on the high
school bus for the first time.)
Thank goodness we were gree
ted by Mrs. Brydges’ smiling face
when we arrived at school. Our
class made such a good impres
sion on Mrs. Brydges that she
decided to move on to Grade 1
with us. Mrs. Bosman took over
in Grade 2 and then decided we
should be sent to Mrs. Daer for
Grade 3 and some really serious
work. Here we began our journey
to become bilingual. Grade 4 saw
the first split in our class. Some
stayed in the Junior wing under
the iron hand of Mr. Medd while
the rest moved over to the senior
wing with Mr. Stevenson and Mr.
The 1989 Grade Eight graduates from East Wawanosh Public
School are: (front row, left to right) Anita Massey, Trina

Higgins. We didn’t have far to go
to the office if trouble arose!
Grade 5 brought us together
again with Mr. Stevenson and
Madame Turcotte. Here we
learned that Madame did not
approve of eye-rolling.
Grade 6 brought more changes.
We had a new principal in the
person of Mr. Scott and Mr.
Harrison transferring from Turn
berry became our teacher for the
following two years. Also in
Grade 7 we began to broaden our
education by taking Industrial
Arts and Family Studies at the
high school. At last we began
Grade 8, where we had to break in
two new teachers, Mr. Bartlett
and Mrs. Dodds. Mrs. Dodds
tried to make us see our self
worth by attempting to stamp out
killer statements.
Graduates, as we leave East
Wawanosh, we must remember
that education is very important.
Without it our goals will never be
achieved.
I would like to thank our
parents and teachers who stood
behind us and offered support to
us (even if they didn’t agree, with
us.)
To all the graduates I wish you
continued success in all that you
attempt. May we always be proud
to say we are graduates of
E.W.P.S.!
See you at Madill!
