helped us along the path to this day.
Because of all of you. getting here
was quick, fairly easy, and relatively
painless.
I’d also like to take this opportuni
ty to thank our parents. Every time
we wanted to quit at anything, you
never failed to kick us in the butt and
keep us going. My parents would
not let me miss a day of school if I
was half dead and though I may not
be too happy about it now. I'm sure
I'll be thanking them later on.
I know that we will all miss this
school and the people in it, and
when we all go to different high
schools and meet new friends and
have new teachers, we will all look
back and remember our school,
Grey Central.
On behalf of the graduating class
of 1999 I’d like to thank everyone
here for making every day a great
day at Grey for all of us. Party’s at
Boyer’s!
By Jason Snider
It truly is an
honour to have
been chosen by
my classmates to
be this year’s
valedictorian. As
valedictorian, my
duty is to repre
sent all of those
hooligans sitting over there, but
being one of them myself, I feel that
I know what I’m talking about.
I have been told over and over to
prepare a nice, serious speech in
order for this night, and as some of
you already know, serious isn’t
something that I usually am. So here
goes nothing!
Grey Central Public School has
been such a big part of all of our
lives, and most of my classmates
have been here for nine years, from
kindergarten until now.
But not every graduate has been
here for that long. I remember the
day I walked into my Grade 1 class
at Grey for the first time ever wear
ing my big green rubber boots and
from then until tonight, this building
has been like a second home to me
and I think that it’s safe to say that
we all have strong feelings for this
place, but whether they be good or
bad is debatable.
We’ve all had such a great time
this year and every other year and as
much as we all hate to admit, the
teachers do deserve some of the
credit. With all of the homework,
and the tests, and studying aside,
they’re a pretty good group of peo
ple, and through the years they have
all taught us a lot, and not just about
school but about life and for a few of
us how to clean the bus windows
and the kitchen fridge when we get
out of line.
We could always count on Mr.
Mason to straighten us up when we
were being bone-headed turkeys,
and without Miss Robinson’s gram
mar lessons, all us wouldn’t ain’t got
good grammar like we do tonight.
Thanks to Mrs. Kaufman, the
library was a safe refuge from the
other teachers that wanted us to do
work, et merci beaucoup pour des
lecons de francais Madamme
Colquhoun.
Finally I come to Mr. Colquhoun,
the laxative for our constipation of
the brain and our Pepto Bismol for
our diarrhea of the mouth. You pre
pared us for high school well, and I
don’t know how you did it but some
how you remained somewhat sane
through it all. With your constant
rearranging of desks and a few well
meaning slugs to the shoulders,
miraculously you kept us all on the
straight and narrow.
Thank you all for everything that
you’ve done for us and thanks to all
of the other teachers who have
Memories of Blyth PS
will never be forgotten
Continued from page 14
Secondary School in Clinton while
others will be attending F. E. Madill
in Wingham.
We have a lot of memories from
here at Blyth Public School that
we’ll never forget! I’ve heard at
least one story about being little
from everyone in this class, so
whether they’ll admit it or not,
they’re going to miss this place. I
know that I have some pretty good
memories from here and I hope that
everyone else does too.
I would now like to congratulate
my fellow classmates here tonight. I
want to thank our parents for their
help and support. Without them, a
lot of the things that we have done
this year wouldn’t have been possi
ble. We owe our class trip to them. I
would also like to thank the teachers
who have guided us over the years.
Most of all, I want to thank Mrs.
Hulley for being brave enough to
teach us this year, and even some of
us for the past two years! I know
that you’ll probably never recover
from having all of your “favourites”
leave, but please try. We’ll miss
you!
