The Goderich Signal-Star, 1981-07-01, Page 23St. Marys -Sehool Lives take separate paths but memories affections are one BY KATHLEEN DONNELY SC. MARY'S The class of 1981 today becomes a small part of this school's history. Although two years younger than we are, St. Mary's is already rich in tradition. Consistently, its graduates distinguished themselves and their school in academics, sports, and student government. We leave now determined to take our rightful place among our distinguished former graduates. The challenge of the future is confidently met, equipped as we have. been by St. Mary's. Our' .lives now take separate paths; • our memories and affections remain as one. We'thank you, our present and • former; teachers, Fathers Moynahan and Loebach for our excellent foundation in the Teaming process, for our religious principles, for our sense of pride and dignity, for the will to achieve, and for incentive to suttee d. St. Mafy's was all those things to us. But' not all teaching, not all work, not all responsibility. St. Mary's was fun. St. Mary's was friends, St. Mary's was sports. St. Mary's was our life. Fondly we recall the numerous amount of laps around the gym that we ran in basketball practise. We recall the sorrovt of Father Moynahan leaving us but only to be replaced. by Father Loebath. • • We recall receiving new students in our school. It was 'quite.an experience. We • 'tried our best to make them feel welcome. We • recall teachers shouting at us to sit down and to be quiet during an indoor recess_ ;ie recall staying after school to talk with our teacher about politics. Together we all recall Mr. McDade calling us into the .gym and telling us what we shouldn't do and what we should do. 'But all of his strictness plaid off. With his help, Miss Stemp and the other teachers we've had have prepared us ac- cordingly to face the, world and the future. Although we are just a small part of the school's history we're important just the same. We've left . our mark on this school and its all been made possible becauseof you, the people who cared. • So, •thanks to the people who cared.. TRW i Special ea o a school in space. The best part of this was getting a break from school and walking around the fair groungoing on rides and )Brindsg games. We have always had good sports teams at Kingsbridge: We all enjoyed playing or these teams especially *to we won. The many field days and play days at our school and others were always fun. Competing . against other people and winning was the best part of these days. These are some of the points of St. Joseph's, but now it's off to high school and I'm not sure what to expect. From what I hear from my brothers and sister though, shouldn't be bad. On behalf of all the graduates, I would like to thank our parents and teachers for their help during our years at Kingsbridge. A special thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Zyluk, Mrs. McDonagh, Mrs. Wilson and Mr. Bullen for their special help in preparing us for high school. Also thanks to Father and 'Brother Carl for their spiritual help and guidance throughout the years at St. Joseph's. This school means a lot to all of us. It is where we got. our first education and it is where we met people and friends we will remember, forever. Some students at St. Mary's,School received special awards on graduation day, June24.
