Jfutfett Central Tub tic Scfwob____- _______
remembers first day
BY ERIN JAMIESON
Do you remember the first time
that big, yellow school bus came to
whisk you off to that enormous,
frightening place known as Hullett
Central. Good evening honoured
classmates, teachers, parents and
friends and welcome to the grade 8
graduation of the class of 90-91.
This is a moment we've all been
waiting for, for a very long time -
even as young hopeful kinder
gartens watching in awe at past
grade 8s, dreaming one day we
would be like them.
Now that the time has finally
arrived for us to graduate and leave
Hullett Central behind , we hate to
see it go, wishing it would last for
ever. Grade nine and all the hustle
and bustle of high school seems
like an extremely large step from
the small setting of Hullett Central.
It is when you really think about it.
Over the past nine years we have
seen additions and subtractions to
our class and now wc leave Hullett
with 33. Out of those 33 many
friendships have been built, and it's
hard at times like these when we
are going to be separated. High
school will bring us new friends
but we will never forget the old
ones. As Tim Traynor wrote
"Friendship is something you con
sider for a moment, but cherish for

an eternity." I'm sure that many of
the friendships will do just that.
Friends are people who stand
beside you no matter what. They
are very important throughout this
stage in our lives. High school will
bring challenges and you need
friends around to see you through
these times. We are all young
adults ready to discover life and its
many joys and sorrows and having
friends around during these times
makes life that much more enjoy
able.
Graduation is one of these times.
Another one is class trips. Our class
has taken many but the last two arc
most vivid in my mind. In grade 7
our class journeyed to Toronto for
the day to the Metro Zoo and Sky-
Dome. At the zoo some of us lost
our way, particularly in the African
Pavillion, while the others searched
out the rest of the zoo. Off to the
SkyDome where our seats were on
the SkyDeck. Of course our class
made it fun.
Last of all our grade eight trip to
stay overnight in Toronto. The first
day wc did a lot of touring, but
were then let roam on our own in
the Eaton's Centre plus a movie of
our choice. The next day no one
could keep their eyes open, includ
ing Mr. Millson, so that day was
pretty calm and quiet, which is
unusual for our class. These are just
some of the many special moments
our class has shared together over
the past nine years. But all good
things have come to an end. That
doesn't mean the memories have to
too. One part of our lives has
ended, but a new one is just begin
ning. I feel that thank you's arc now
in store for our teachers' who not
only taught us but also tried to be
our friends. They educated us and
helped us grow in many ways. And
to you we owe a great deal, thank
you. To my classmates I would like
to say a fond farewell. All the best
in he future. It has been a pleasure
being in your class and knowing
you all.
I would like to close with a poem
by Margaretta Brown:
Time goes on and makes its
changes
But some things remain steadfast,
Memories with thoughts and
fancies
That stay with us to last.
In the days and years to follow,
None will be more sincere and
true
Than the thoughts and heartfelt
wishes,
For friends like you.
S'
All the best
to you, Grads!
