Emotions run high for gradating students
by HEATHER BOGIE
The, Oxford dictionary defines the word
emotion as "agitation of mind and feeling,
excited mental state."
Emotions are running high tonight!
This graduation night marks the end of
one stage in our lives and the beginning of
another. As we reminisce over our years at
Colborne, we can't help but feel a certain
remorse at leaving the school which many
of us have attended for nine years and the
teachers and friends we have been
associated with.
A certain closeness exists in a school like
Colborne. We see the human side in our
teachers. They are not only imparters of
knowledge, but experience the same
frustrations, anxieties and joys as we
students do. Somehow they have always
managed to face each day with a smile, to
make the atmosphere at our school a plea-
sant one, full of happy memories. Strong
friendships are built up, and a feeling of
belonging is nurtured.
In high school we enter a bigger world in
which we tend to go more on our separate
ways. We know this step is necessary as we
strive to develop our individual talents and
interests. I think we are ready and eager to
accept the challenge.
Each of us then, also, must be experienc-
ing emotions of excitment and joy. Mixed
emotions at this time are good. It means we
remember the past, but look forward to the
future. _
Many teachers have played an important
role in our presence here on this graduation
night.
Mrs. McMillen, my first teacher at Col-
borne Central. Your help in the library for
research projects left until the last minute
was greatly appreciated. Also, somewhere
in my memories of Kindergarten exists the
recollection of the "Big Five."
Mr. Reid and Mrs. Bruinsma. Thank -you
for teaching us the ins and outs of sewing
machines and lathes.
Mme Dyck continuously tried to get us to
smile first thing each morning when smiles
were difficult. But we sure are smiling
tonight. !
Miss Kerlovich tried to get us to hit the
right musical notes when they often weren't
there. But she usually found them!
Mr. Harman, we will miss ducking from
those strange rolls of white paper with tear -
off sections, unless this means of getting our
attention catches on in high school.
Mr. Hunter, while walking the corridors of
G.D.C.I., we will' be forever peering over
our shoulders to see if you're behind clear-
ing the halls.
And of course, Mr. Jewitt, we will always
remember your expert guidance in math.
When an explanation was needed in a pro-
blem, you delivered!
To all the other teachers who have taught
and guided us along the way through our
elementary years, our sincere thanks. Your
efforts on our behalf are very much ap-
preciated.
Grade eight was an interesting combina-
tion of work and play. Remember the
Christmas concerts, parades, fun -days, car-
nivals, tournaments and best of all, that
grade eight class trip. I'd like to add,
specifically speaking to Mr. Jewitt that
we're deeply sorry and disappointed we
didn't have time for that pillow fight.
Though if we had, some of us may not have
been present here tonight!
Besides our teachers, we have our family
and friends to thank. Our parents with all
their words of encouragement, have led us
in ways which always were to our benefit.
