Despite` this,. some of tie

commented '
, "It's fine and dandy,"
realize they went not for

generations to come. For
people - they didn't even
ki}ow, they gave their lives
so' that we, the future
generations, could live a life
without fear and in peace.
Remembrance day is more
meaningful when you carry
on the optimism and selfless-
ness that was exhibited by so
`many during the two great
world wars.
Remembrance Day to me
is not only a time to remem-
ber the past, but also a time
to look into the future. After
all, the only way to make the
future and our present better
is to look into the past. We
must learn from past mis-
takes and we must learn be-
fore it's •too late. Fortune
ately, at the end of WAV; II
the • allies chose to forgive;
unfortunately manypeople,
in the process, began to for-
get.
Many experts are saying
we are headed for a third
world war, a prospect that .
od
rosnpect � th o means eoundeon-
sequences .of such an event.
Thus it is even more im-
portant that we now, more
than any other time, choose
to remember and take ac-
tion.
We too, as . people in the
past have done, must make a
conscious effort to create an
even better world for others,
both for the present and for
the future.

GRADE 7 AND 8 — Our
year is moving along very
quickly. Itis rather difficult
to believe that we have been
in school for more than two_
months. First term . reports
willebe going hemp soon.
Wherehas'the time gone' •
On Monday, . Nov. 10,
following Mass at the
church, our class presented
a shortservice for
Remembrance Day. Carol
Belanger acted as our
master of ceremonies, and
the wreath was placed by
Roxanne Cerson and Darryl
Hallahan. •
During our first term we
have spent a great deal of
time during composition
period working at de-
scriptive writing. One of the
stories developed appears .
here.

wind. Asa walked across'ie.
short field, the wind began to
pick up speed as if to get
even with the unsheltered
area. As I progressed down
the hill the wind blew its fury
on the unprotected while the
tiny blades of grass clung to
the side of the hill for their
last bit of hope.
I gasped in short breaths
as I rounded the side of the
hill, advancing in slow,
desperate steps towards the
last small hill before
reaching the school. A small
square of tin rattled on -tile
steel pole at the top of the
hill, almost blowing over.
The towering hydro pole and
the solid, steel -framed bars
stood strongly against the
wind. As I took the last few
steps I noticed the leaves
further down whipping
around in the wind.
I made it! It's quiet and
calm in the warmth and
shelter of the school; leaving
behind the furious wind and
drifting smell of buring
leaves in a step -away dis-
tance.
GRADES 5 AND 6 — Keep-
ing with the tradition of
ghostly capers on
Hallowe'en, we wrote scary
stories. Stories by Leah
Kulas, Marc Nesbitt, Ann
McGlynn, Barry Shaw and
Mark Belanger were chosen
by the class as the best.
After learning various
items concerning resea-
rching a project (skimming,
flow charts), work has begun
on the history of a place int,
the Western Hemisphere.
Remembrance Day was
remembered with poetry
and art. A healthy concern
was expressed by us
regarding peace in the,
world.
REMEMBRANCE DAY
By Brian Steffler
For Remembrance Day
we celebrate the day the
soldiers went overseas to
fight for our country. They
died one by ,one. Now they
lay side by side with poppies
growing wild.
Airmen fought for our
country, soldiers fought hard
as they could to win our
country's freedom. Many
people died in the war. Thats
why we celebrate the day the
soldiers fought in the war.
We hope we have no war
because it would be terrible
fnr a world war three.

After decorating our room
with spider hats and black

our pumpkins ready for.
Hallowe'en. Mr. Jack-O-

even though we roasted his
seeds and tasted his fruit .in
our pumpkin bread.
On Hallowe'en we made,

was greatly honored with all
the ghostly visitors. Fun was
