BY MAUREEN STAPLETON,
Good, evening parents, teachers Mr.
Sharpe, Father Morrisey, Father Frank,
Father Ed, Brother Carl and fellow
graduates. It is indeed abeautiful evening
for a special bccassion like this.
I have been chosen to -speak to you on
,behalf of the 1983-84 graduating class as
valedictorian and I am very proud and
honored to do so.
Wen you guys, it's, been nine yearCa
you believe it? I am sure the graduates will
" agree, it's been nine, let me think of a
word...pleasant years. I'm sure there were
days Mien the teachers could ring our.
necks. But there were also probably those
days that the teachers sighed a sigh a relief
while ending a peaceful day with their clash.
To me, there are three Main groups of
people who have helped us to get where we
are today. I'll start off with the ones who
launched our learning careers in school, the
teachers.
It was 1976 and on one warm autumn day,
13 little, terrified children went to their first
day of kindergarten in that big, tall school of
Kingsbridge. I happened to be one and I was
petrified! But when we saw a tall curly,
redhead looping down at us, we all felt
better! Mrs. Riegling was our first teacher
who gave us that little push in the right
direction and we were all grateful to her.
She now lives in Alberta and we all hope she
is happy and we thank her.
Mr. Steffler, who I can't really remember,
was our first principal and was succeeded
by Mr_ Zyluk. In Grade 1 and 2 and also this
past year, we had Mrs. Eedy, everyone's
