Positive years are ahead Valedictory Address By Amy Wood and Ryan Munn Amy and I are happy to give the valedictory address for our Grade 8 graduating class this year. Over the years we have had the chance to get to know each other well because many of us have been together from Kindergarten to Grade 8. We are a small graduating class but we share many good memories of our years as students. For those who joined our class recently they have been part of our special Grade 8 happenings. Not many students are able to have their Grade one teacher at their Grade 8 Graduation. We're pleased_ to have Mrs. Strang here this evening. She introduced us to the joy of reading and we still love to read today. We've seen many changes at Hensall Public School. We have had different principals, teachers and students who have come and gone through the years. We have also had many changes to our school building. Mrs. Moffatt's philosophy is that teamwork, co- operation and doing your best arc important! During the last few years we have really worked on this and we are better - not perfect, but almost. We can certainly say that our school has many improve- ments. We arc very proud of our new addition, new computerized library, bright and cheery paint, our improved landscaping with new trees and flower beds, and new playground equipment. This is the way we want to remember our school. Our teachers have really helped us a lot to prepare us for the next level of education. For Mrs. Beattie we wrote stories, stories and stories and she encouraged us to participate in sports and try out for the school teams. For Mr. Snell. we sang and sang and sang. He taught us to love music.

And then there's Mr. Rideout, our resident Ncwfie expert, who has taught us through hard work and perseverance, to be responsible, to study and to work hard. Some of us are still working on this, Mr. Rideout. We thank you very much for helping to prepare us for Grade 9. We also owe much to our parents who have been there to guide and support us through the years.

An education is an on-going experience for everyone. Even though we sometimes groan and complain about school we think we all realize how important sctiool is to us. If it weren't for the wonder- ful staff that helped us the gradua- tion of this class wouldn't be possi- ble. There is no way we can thank those people enough. We wish Mrs. Moffatt the very best in her retirement and also wish Mr. Rideout well in his new position as vice-principal. Now as we look to the future we can make use of the skills we have learned in elementary school. Yes, we have learned how to read and write and do mathematical prob- lems and we've learned about the history of Canada and the geogra- phy of the world. We know how to solve problems without violence, how to get along with others and how to make good choices and wise decisions. Now all we have to do is practice these skills so that we can have many positive and happy years ahead of us. Good luck and best wishes to all the students in the graduating class of 1994.

Time has passed quickly VALEDICTORIAN SPEECH DENISE O'REILLY Father Cassano, Mr. McDade, Mr. McCarroll, Parents and Fellow Graduates. It's hard to believe that 9 years have passed since most of us met in September 1985 in Kindergarten. Some members of our original class have moved to different schools, but we have been fortunate enough to have other students move to this area to make up this graduating class of '94. This year has been one of the best for our class, the graduating students of St. James School. It has been filled with excitement, wonder, and most of all, happiness. Mr. McCarroll has played a large part in making this year tremendous. He has given us his unending patience and dedication throughout the whole year and he has prepared us for other challenges in our lives. He has enhanced our self discipline and our self respect. He has taught us more than math, science, english and drama; he has taught us about how to live life! We are fortunate to have had him for out teacher this year. Mr. McDade's arrival at St. James $chool in September has had a positive impact on all of the students. He has brought with him not only leadership skills, but also a strong sense of Christian values which he shows to us each and every day. He, with all the other teachers make St. -James a fun place to be, and a safe place to be. Father Cassano, you have given us a stronger faith during our years at St. James. You have enhanced our spirituality and given us Christian values. Thank -you for your prayers and concem. Please continue to pray for us as we move on to another part of our lives. We also wish you well as you move on to St. Martin's in London. Our prayers are with you. I think all of my classmates will agree that we owe much of our appreciation to our parents. They have guided us to this point in our lives and have been there for us in times of happiness and sorrow. I also know that this is a time for mixed feelings and emotion for them as well. They see us moving from the secure, comfortable NOW THAT YOU'VE EARNED YOUR DIPLOMA NOTHING CAN STAND IN YOUR WAY! e TFilANC31.e DISCOUNT_. 2 MAIN ST. 527-0071 We're Proud to salute you - GRADS Future Hair Design 92 Main St. 527-1783 Denise O'Reilly, St. James School valedictorian corridors of St. James to a new time in our lives where we take on more responsibility for the decisions we make, and the friends we meet. With the love and support they have shown us, I'm sure that we are well prepared for new experiences. We will remember each individual graduate for their own values. We will remember Taum Bannon, for going fishing and not catching a single thing. Amanda Denys, for her laugh that sounds like a horse. Mike Grobbink, for his tremendously large family. Irene Gubelmann, for being so very shy and quiet. Michelle Henderson, for all her injuries. Gerry Holland, for being the "king" of electronic games. Barry Medd, for playing road hockey. Kristie Moran, for going to the trailer every weekend. Nick Marshall, for going with this dad on trips in the big truck. Nike Nigh, for playing jokes on people.

Rob Vanden Hoven, for helping out on the farm. Marianne Vanden Hengel, for always acing tests. Joe Vanden Hengel, for his craving of subs. And of course Mr. McCarroll, for his 'green' book! Our trip to Cypress Lake was the highlight o_ f the year. This allowed us to reflect upon the great friendships we have established, and the wonderful times we have had at St. James. We also discovered that Mr. McCarrol seems to have a strange preference for Stompin' Tom Connors music. One of my classmates gave me this poem which I would like to recite. At graduation we all grog' ne rec,' ' 'And all' or dtir fii6irdajWrir s much dearer. As we say our friendly good-bye, One last embrace and one last cry. A "keep in touch" and .a "promise I will," A "remember when" but better still, A place in my heart you'll always stay, This is what's said as we go our own way. Faces of old, faces of new, People we know and people that we knew. Growing up together, then drifting apart, Always ending and then a new start. The friendships and strength shared between the graduates of St. James will remain close to us all for the rest of our lives. Now as we all go our separate ways we'll always remember our fun, happiness, and excitement here at St. James. Our memories will always live on. Thank you. Great_ Work Graduat.cy, of 1994!
