BROOKSIDE PUBLIC SCHOOL
M ° Tremeer, Teachers, Fellow
Classmates, Parents and Guests,
I can't believe I'm actually standing up
here saying farewell to great teachers and
good friends.
It's a miracle we made it through Mr.
Hazlitt's incredibly hard tests, Mr. Hooft-
man's endless jokes and stories, Mr. Ud-
dle's slide presentations on previous science
fairs, Mrs. Blake constantly telling us of the
wonderful things the card catalogue on do
for us, Miss Clynick's gym classes which
are always graced with her constant
enlightening smile that never seems to turn
off, Mr. Tremeer's many word finds .and
endless quizes and last but not least Mr.
Cameron's complicated math problems and
trying to make us great musicians by giving
us blisters and numb fingers teaching us
how to play the ukuleles and recorders. But,
without these distinguishing marks it would
cry have been dreadfully boring.
We're making the big important step on
September 2, 1986. We're going to attack
Grade 9. We're moving ahead and leaving
behind the familiar routines and the securi-
ty of knowing what's going to happen next
and also knowing that the teachers will
always be there for us whenever we need
them.
This chapter in our lives is coming to a
close and faster than we think a new chapter
will begin.
We're matured a great deal in.these past
nine year and our teachers have readied us
to handle frightening new experiences and
take advantage of golden opportunities
which lay ahead, and because they have
helped make us independent people, able to
accept responsibilities, co-operate with and
respect one another, to meet and accept new
challenges set before us with enthusiasm,,
zeal and of course a certain amount of fear.
Who knows, because of all the wonderful
advice, guidance and friendship• you have
given us, we might do great things like
becoming the next Prime Minister or the
person to find a cure for cancer, but we will
never forget those who helped us through
the early stages of our lives.
Although we have to take that frightening
step into high school wher0l1 the halts will
look exactly the same, where the teachers
will probably never know our names, fin-
ding your way to each class undoubtedly
getting more lost at everYiturn, and the pro-
blem of trying to open those supposedly, fan-
tastic contraptions they call lockers.,
I just know well have heaps off fun, but
never will we forget our public school years.
Recalling the good times and the bad, &hhe
wins and the losses, the disappointments
and the triumphs, and the great many ac-
complishments we have attained over the
years.
They were all a very important. part of
growing fhp and we did it all at Brookside
Public School and in the years to come I'll
be very proud to say I did so.
Although this is indeed a joyous occasion,
it is also a sad ane, for unfortunately we're
not all going to the same high school.
I'm sure in speaking on behalf of all the
class, I, would like to express our sincere
thanks and gratitude to the Board of Educa-
tion, Teachers, Principals, our Friends and
especially last but not least our Parents and
Families for their efforts and for giving us
the determination to make it through those
final projects, speeches, assignments_, and
all important tests.
I'm sure that in the future, we will make
many new friends and set new goals for
ourselves. It's a past we'll never forget and
the memories that will remain with us I
know we'll treasure them forever and pro-
bably find ourselves telling our children and
grandchildren stories of our public school
years.
We have done a lot of growing up this past
and final year and I hope in the years to
come we'll make you proud of us. We have
also learned education is important and
should never be taken for granted.
So,' until we meet again whether it be in
that famous McDonalds Restaurant in
Goderich or halfway around the world, I'll
never forget my friends and my years at
Bt ookside Public School. ,
Goodbye for now and good luck in the
future.
