The memories of nine years come back to life
BY JULIE TRICK -
I am honoured today to present this
speech op behalf of our class. It is an
important day for all of us, and we are
fortunate to be able to spend it with friends
and family.
•
Nine years ago, many of us started
kindergarten here as children, and today,
are emerging as y'ound adults. It was in
our kindergarten years with Mrs.
Cunningham that we made our first
friends and received a positive attitude
towards public school. As we progressed
into the junior grades, we started
receiving responsiblities. Homework
became more plentiful and good behaviour
was expected. And when we approached,
our senior years, we started preparing for
this day. The day in which we would no
longer be considered public school
students, but high school students, ready
to accept new challenges.
We will all start high school this fall with
mixed feelings. We will have to leave
behind many good friends, our respected
teachers and staff members, and many
memories and emotions of our years at
Holmesville.
As we sit in this school for perhaps our
last moments as Grade 8 students, we can
do nothing but bring these memories back
We're Whistling a tune of happiness for your success

Of all the nervousness we faced, as, we
awaited our turn to present our speech to
the class, with ur soggy cue cards
carefully secured in our sweaty palms.
The times when proudness swept over us,
when ,we walked through the school doors
with the championship pennant from our
sports events, clutched in our hands.
The sadness we' faced as our fellow
classmates moved away. The, times we
were envious of our teachers who sent us
out in below -zero temperatures while they
sipped their hot coffee in the warmth of the
school. And the times we experienced
happiness when -we put on a good
performance at the concerts and
afterward felt relieved it was over.
Each of us has experienced these
emotions throughout the years and today
we gave another -a sense of
accomplishment. We have now developed
into new types of persons. No longer are
we irresponsible children but persons with
a learned ability to cope, to perceive, to
understand and to withstand.
Though we have worked hard to achieve
these -goals, we owe a great deal to our
teachers and undoubtedly, our parents.
Through their guidance, patience and
