Myth Public School
Blyth valedictorians discuss challenges
By Tammy Walker
and Jamie Black
Tonight marks the end of one
challenge and the beginning of
another. It seems like just yesterday
we began our nine years of
education here at Blyth Public
School.
Good evening ladies and
gentlemen, special guests, teachers
and fellow students, welcome to
our graduation ceremony.
It's hard to believe that after
tonight we will head off in our
separate ways, leaving everything
but our nine years of memories
behind us. During these short nine
years our class has gone through a
lot together. To mention all of the
memories in such a short time
would be virtually impossible.
We never had any major
problems because we were the
good class, unlike recent classes we
never did anything seriously
wrong. I mean there was always the
silly little things such as when the
girls were in Grade 1, we were
convinced that the person next to
the school was a witch. We spent
our recesses by the road with
binoculars and note pads writing
down everything we saw. Was the
package the man put in his car a
body? We sure thought so! So
when we got in trouble for being by
the road we thought we had a good
explanation. For some reason the
teacher didn't think so.
Then there was Matt and Trevor
during lunch hour. They would
pick a subject every day to argue
about while eating their lunch. The
amount of time to go one
centimetre while travelling the
speed of light, who could eat more
slices of pizza, the exact weight of
an Olympic hammer and the
maximum distance it could be
thrown, the tallest basketball player
ever and more such abnormalities.
Added to out antics were the
boys American Gladiator craze, the
April Fool's Day switching chairs,
which didn't work, this year's boy
girl topic for graduation
differences, the recent incident with
little black tops missing from
chairs, certain people being found
in certain closets, our many
exciting trips to East Wawanosh
Conservation Area (boy weren't
those trips exciting!), Allan
hugging Mrs. Laurie, George the
imaginary friend and our recent
year end trip to Sudbury.
During those years of excitement,
we have had many teachers guiding
us in the fight direction. I
remember the very first day of
school. We were all terrified and
quite nervous, but with the
encouraging and loving words of
our kindergarten teacher, Mrs.
