This year, by special request, we are singing "You Needed Me" and "Sing a Song", under the talented direction of "Rockin' Ray" Ashton. The Bottle Drive, held on October 9th, was a great thanks (but no thanks) to Homer Brown who offered to sell fur coats for Cartwright after sacrificing the lives of several defenceless Kkittys during the Bottle Drive. Commencement is on it's way once again, and several gifted actors and actresses are rehearsing for the Commencement Day, "Sure as you're Born". We have no Kristensen, Warren Strong, and Tim Cochrane returned home after their trip to Waterloo last weekend to see the University. We all wish a speedy recovery to these boys.

Whether it meant to have it etched into a rock, or write it down In a book, they found a way to record, a way to preserve it. Tonight I'd like to present to you a very special record of the good times we've had here at P.P.H.S. the experiences we've shared and the people we've met. | believe this record would be in the form of a book, and naturally this book would be embossed in gold, due to the fact that the memories it contains are most precious. So now, may | present to you, "THE STORYBOOK OF OUR DAYS AT PORT HIGH" Chapter One: Our Teachers Teachers, hmmm, now what nice things can | say about teachers? But seriously now, the class of '81 would like to thank all of our teachers for passing on to us the academic knowledge we now own. It- wasn't always easy, and often it meant going over certain concepts again, and again, ... and again, until we finally got it. Teachers, your patience and understand- ing was greatly appreciated. But teachers, you went far beyond the calls of academics. You were always there to talk to, to listen to us, to coach us, and to lead us. As | logk back, | think of certain special teachers who took such a sincere interest in myself that they inspired me to go on and do better. I'm certain that everyone here tonight can think of a teacher with whom he can identify this quality with. To these special teachers, we thank you from the bottoms of our hearts. Now, what else can | say about our teachers? Through the past years, we've come to know our teachers quite personally. At the mention of any teacher's name, an off quirk about them, or an experience in their class comes to mind. For example, when | hear the name of Mr. Doble, | immediately associate him with his rather unusual shoes, or as they have else been called, Jesus-boots. Mr. Doble's experiments always proved the following Murphy's law true: if anything can go wrong, it will. And it did, but we could always vent our frustrations with a good, all-out water bottle fight. Speaking of frustrated, brings to mind Mr. Scott. He was most dismayed to encounter sixteen female faces early last September - certainly not a welcome sight for a slightly (oh, so slightly) chauvinistic man. Nevertheless he still managed to incorporate Bo Derek and Farrah Fawcett into every test paper, and even braved a night out in TO with sixteen giggling gals. He found out that to know us was to love us, and we found but the reverse. Merci, Monsieur Scott. TO tojours. Mr. MacColl will always be remembered for his very interesting history classes. Who else could construct ancient Rome, complete with Julius Caesar, in his very own classroom? It was almost as if we were hearing the accounts ofa first hand witness. . Now, on to Mr. Robinson. Mr. Robinson, | don't feel that | can leave P.P.H.S. officially without making one thing perfectly clear. Do you remember that fellow in the last row? The one who always had the right answer, "though accasionally found to be in the midst of a euchre game? His first name is not 'Hey you" Coates, or anything else you happened to mumble. His name is Dean. D.E.A.N. | feel much better now that the record's straight. Attention all future English 552 students. Mrs. Lackie loves bribes, In the form of red roses, on English exam days. Mrs. Lackie, or affectionately called Wackie Lackie was responsible for many nights of lost sleep as Grade Thirteen students struggled desperately to grasp the concept and meaning of Waiting For Codot. Her unusual classes won't be forgotten, no matter how hard we try. However, we will never forget, nor want to forget our infamous Eng. 552 productions. Mrs. Lackie, the extra time you gave up for us and.the interest you took in us was greatly appreciated. . Mr. Barton truly seemed to be capable of miracles. Early last September he took the CCC (Clueless in Calculus Club) and transformed them, with a lot of hard work and few laughs along the way into the TCC (Terrific in Calculus Club). The results of the regional exam certainly proved it. Needless to see, he's one great teacher. He will also be remembered for his 'basics in bridge" tutorial, his unusual combo of a giggle and a chuckle, and his sincere interest in the graduating class. Thank you Mr. Barton. The list of teachers and our associations with them goes on and on. When we think of Mr. Toye we'll remember his kind smile and terrific guidance. Mr. Reed will be connected with his zany spirit and egg tossing abilities, Mr. Arculus with his never-ending supply of puns, and (groan!) more puns. Mr. McComb with his wink, Mr. Sharpe with the way he seemed to actually roll around the room. It's impossible to make special mention of every teacher, but, may | say now, that every P.P.H.S. teacher deserves special mention. Teachers, once again, thank you sincerely for all that you've done. Chapfer 11: The Office The Class of '81 also wishes to extend our gratitude to all those in the office. Mr. Williams, and Mr. Hill, we would like to thank you for your dedication to the well being of Port Perry High, and especially to the graduates of '81. We also felt most lucky to have had a secretrial, janitorial and cafeterial staff who were always willing to help us with any difficulty, from student council funds to setting up the P.P.H.S. assemblies. All of you rate tops in our books. Chaper 11: The Good ol' PPHS Spirit At one time or another we've all felt the impact of the P.P.H.S. spirit and from that moment on we've always felt tied to, and proud of this high shool. The first time | encountered the true P.P.H.S. spirit was in the Durham college gym at a basketball game. Red and white pompoms, Mr, Clarke's trumpet blaring out our theme song, and the P.P.H.S. student cheers literally took over the gym. With such enthusiastic support, how could we lose? Our P.P.H.S. spirit always made us winners. At this time, | would like to draw our attention to the fantastic student councils, through whose hard work, this spirit was cultivated and reaped. When you think of Port Perry High won't you tend to forget the books, and remember instead winter carnival tug-of-wars, pudding eating contests, the last dance of a high school dance, the beautiful decorations that turned our gym into a wonderland every April, our Valentine's Day cupids, initiation day and Christmas assemblies. | feel these special treats will distinguish our high school from every other institution we will ever attend. And the nice thing about the student council, was that it was the work of the students. P.P.H.S. spirit also extended beyond these 'walls. We supported two foreign children, and we raised money for such charities as the Big Brothers, the Terry Fox Fund and a needy family at Christmas time. Last year, Mrs. Kennedy's class collected stuffed animals for the disabled children in Sunderland. As we have seen P.P.H.S. spirit taught us good will. Chaper IV: The P.P.H.S. Reputation P.P.H.S. is not a good school - it's a great school Academically, our record speaks for itself. We can boast of being tops in math contests, winning all kinds of Science Fair competitions, why even one of our classmates John Wynsma is in Egypt tonight representing Canada In the World Mastermind championship. Port High certainly prepared us academically for our next step in life. Musically P.P.H.S. was 'note" worthy. This year our band travelled to B.C. and put Port Perry on the map. Mr. Baird and Mr. Chellew produced some very talented performers. This summer Mary McKelvey and Laural Holtby travelled with the Ontario Youth Concerf Band to Europe. We certainly are proud of our musicians. We've also captured some very important titles in sports. The list of award winning teams is much too lengthy to mention here, but tonight, when | think of sports | remember such outstanding graduating athletes as Brigitte Spannbavuer, Curt Pinkowski, Lynn O'Reilly and Kelly Owen. Whether we lost or whether we won, or whether we went the wrong way, Cam, P.P.H.S. sportmanship was always the very best. Chapter V: Our Parents Tonight we've drawn attention to all those in P.P.H.S. to whom we are grateful, but the people who deserve the most credit for who we are now, and the goal we have reached are our parents. Parents, you were always there for the little things. Thanks, Dad, for. helping with the accounting assignment. Thanks, Mom, for packing the extra big lunch in order to feed the few who forgot theirs. And Parents, you were there for the big things, too. You are the ones who spured us on, when we felt like quitting, who listened and helped carry the burden of our difficulties, and who shared In our accomplishments. You were always there when we needed you and words just can't express our love and appreciation for you. Chapter VI: Our Fellow Classmates What makes the Class of '81 special? My classmates. And as a class | think we've really made our mark in P.P.H.S. Our names are etched into the walls (and | mean that literally). There's something special we'll remember about each of our peers. We'll always remember Tim Raines surprising us all in his outstanding performance in the Avenging Phoenix. Craig Mullen, our notorious practical joker outdid himself one day on a bus in B.C. and I'm told that the event won't be forgotten either. Biology field trips to Lake Ontario wouldn't be the same without lan Rudkin and his car. With Ilka in our Biology class we discovered how heavy breathing could be injurious over the telephone. Chemistry class wouldn't be the same without Lorna giggling in the back or Claudia exclaiming '| got it! | got it! | remember our Hallowe'en party, (don't you Griff?), our Christmas party, kinky body painting at At Home work meetings, euchre games in the common room, Gord Ingrahm in a dress, Dean's barefeet, keeping track of Dave's "friends", Brian Barr in tails, Liz's Yuk-Yuk-Yuk, Juliette's oriental garden, and of course we can't forget Curt's Elvis imitation. I'd like to make special mention of and thank one of our classmates, Leanne Kerr, for always finding the time to drop down to my room in university, and over a cujp of tea, help me remember all the good times we've had. It's impossible to mention everyone individually, but every graduate tonight contributed a part of himself to the Class of '81. We became a year. | often think of how we were when we arrived here In Grade Nine - bumbling freshmen often found in clusters or groups. But as our high school years progressed the clusters melted into one big friendly class. The days of doing assignments all by yourself were over - we worked as a team, we unified, and learned to share bits and pieces of knowledge. And as we shared we became very very close friends. These six chapters complete the volume ' The Storybook of our Days at Port High". Had one chapter been missing our education would not be as whole as the one we have received. Like every good story, there's always an end. But with every end there's a new beginning. All of us have started a new volume in our lives. | hope that the future contents hold every success and happiness for each and every one of us. Graduation is a time of good-byes. The time has come to say good-bye to this school that we have all learned to respect and love, to say good-bye to the teachers and the current students of Port Perry High. To the current students we leave this message: Keep up the spirit and reputation, be proud of your high school. The hardest part of all is saying good-bye to each other. We've grown up together and shared together, and leaned to appreciate and love each other. But good-bye doesn't mean forever. | truly believe the friendships we've made here will last a lifetime. | leave you, Class of '81 with the thought found in this poem. There's a Miracle called Friendship that dwells within the heart ... you don't know How it happened or where it got its start. ... but the happiness it brings you Always gives a special lift, and you realize that Friendship is one of God's most precious gifts. Thank you, friends, for this honour and for the best of times. Friday night last. He also lead a one day workshop on the Planetary Initiative at the Kingview Conference Centre, Aurora, the follow- ing day. In this time of crisis and opportunity, the Planetary Initiative invites every citizen and every group on an international scale, at grassroots level, to address the fundamental problems facing the world today, and to formulate a picture of the world we would ideally choose. Mr. Keys points out that just as mankind collec- tively has created the world as we know it today, so also it has the power to choose the world of the future. Practical ways to achieve this world are being dis- cussed in neighbourhood and community groups all over the world. Statements from these groups will be collec- ted together through an already established network. This will lead to a provincial and national consensus, which will culminate in a global statement to be pre- sented at an International Congress in the summer of 1983. The meeting in Seagrave on Sunday night was an initial exploration of the Planetary Initiative project by the Toronto and area business community, it was held at the home of Andrew and Maureen Salkeld. Andrew is an international businessman, and Maureen teaches personal growth and development through counselling and groups. They would both be glad to answer any questions about the Planetary Citizens and the Initiative for the World we Choose. For more information, call 985-8228. First aid tip When someone has stopped breathing, seconds count. Start mouth to mouth resuscitation immediately, says St. John Ambulance. Make sure mouth and throat are free of obstruction. Lift the neck, tilt the head, seal victim's mouth with your mouth, and breath into it about every five seconds. If there are face, neck or head injuries, you may need to use another method. To learn first aid, contact St. John Ambulance.
