Qraduation 1994 East Wawanosh graduates visit Ottawa Continued from page 16 teaching us math but also keeping us awake. I’m not sure which job would be more difficult. In English class Mrs. Gross taught us about the English language, grammar and proper spelling. You can always see her caring personality in the class or when you meet her in the halls. As it was nearing the end of Grade 7 we couldn't wait until Grade 8. We heard many good things about Grade 8 and our teacher Mr. B. It was everything we expected and more. Our last year here at East Wawanosh proved to be a great one. The money we fundraised went toward our trip to Ottawa. We stayed for three days and saw many different things, learned some interesting facts and had a lot of fun. (Although a couple of people were sick from the amount of junk food we ate and lack of sleep). This year we struggled through weeks of hard work to prepare for our play The Pirates of Penzance which turned out to be a great hit. Most of us worked hard to get our homework assignments done each night. Mr. B. has always been known for the amount of homework he gives. He has tried to convince us that he doesn't do this to be cruel but for our own benefit. Some of us still aren't too sure about that but he's probably right since he's older and wiser. When we ran into something we thought we couldn't do he always had the confidence in us to push us further and never to let us give up. No only was Mr. B. our teacher but also a friend. We could always go to him about any problems we had and he always had great advice to give. Thanks Mr. B. for always being there for us. I'd like to say thanks to all our teachers we've had throughout the years for putting up with us and who never gave up on us. It's been great knowing our teachers were always there when we needed them. During the last nine years of our lives there has been a bond made between us all, because of the times we have shared - the good and the bad. I know when we leave here and move on to high school where each of us will begin a new life with new friends, our bonds loosen but never break because our memories together here at East Wawanosh will last a lifetime. I wish the best of luck to my classmates as we move on with our lives. Brussels student writes poem on friendship Continued from page 15 Jason Walker fell up a hill. Kevin White let two dogs and a cat into the school over a period of nine years. Lisa Gilkes started her TV career, when she sang on Romper Room. Jeremy Clark ripped up his detention package - today. And who could forget the look on Mrs. Perrie's face, when we threw her into the pool. I'm sure most of us are happy at the thought of leaving Brussels Public, and moving on to a bigger and more exciting Madill. But there are some of us who will miss the security of a small school where we know everybody and everybody knows us. I know I'll miss having all the little children looking up to us, wondering what it must be like to be in Grade 8. Instead, we'll be the little kids looking up to the Grade 12s and 13s and getting shoved into lockers. And what have we done to deserve this? Nothing...except graduate from Grade 8. In closing, I'd like to read this poem by Lisa Gilkes. A Friend A friend is someone you can trust, A friend is someone who is good at listening. A friend is. good at giving advice, A friend is someone you can talk to when you feel down. A friend is someone you can tell your deepest secrets to. A friend is someone who is good at giving hugs. A friend is loyal. A friend is someone who is honest. A friend is someone who cares. A friend does not fade away. A friend is always there. A friend is a friend forever. Throughout our elementary school career we have all set goals for ourselves. Some we have achieved; some we haven't. It's important to remember to keep setting goals for ourselves, and to keep dreaming! Blyth students prepare for new challenges Continued from page 14 class and in this school. Over the years many friendships have been built. Even though we may be separating to different schools, meeting new friends and making new memories our old friendships will never die. This class has been through a lot together. I ALMOST find myself wishing we could all stay together in this school forever. But we must move on. I know that everyone in our class is very excited and not to mention a little nervous about going on to bigger and better places. There will be many more new friendships made, new challenges to face, and many more goodbyes in our lives. We will not be afraid of our new endeavors but will face them straight on. With the love and support of our friends and families we'll make it through the good and the bad. At this time I'd like to thank all the parents for loving us the way they do. Thank you for raising us to become strong and independent individuals, and for being there for us when we needed you. Thank you to all the teachers, although you should be the ones thanking us for putting up with you all your bad days. Just kidding! I really do want to thank you so much for your knowledge, guidance and for leading us all in the right direction. You have been great! I'd also like to thank my friends SPS students close chapter Continued from page 19 houseleague sports to keep us out of trouble at recess. Most of all I would like to thank our parents for raising us right and showing us right from wrong. Hey, and fellow classmates for being there and for building so many great memories that will be with me forever. I am going to miss all my fellow classmates deeply and would like to wish all of them lots if it weren't for our parents we wouldn't be here graduating today. As our last few moments as Seaforth Public School are coming to an end and we are closing a of luck in the future and may all your goals and dreams for life come true! Thank you! Good night! and Good Luck! small chapter of our lives I would like to say farewell to all my fellow classmates and wish them well in things to come in the future.
