\ » M.J. Hobbs Grade Eight Valedictorian YELVERTON NEWS The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, June 29, 1983 11 Original School Bell Dedicated to Retiring Principal mm?** • ' ■ ' ■ The 1982-83 grade eight graduating class valedictorian from M.J. Hobbs Senior Public School was 14-year-old Frank Kolb ofR.R. 4, Bowmanville. Bowmanville. He is shown above receiving his diploma from principal Mr. R. Munro. The graduation ceremonies were held Tuesday night in the Bowmanville High School auditorium. BY FRANK KOLB Looking back upon the past two years, we must admit it has been a good experience, even if there was a broken arm or two. Think back to the grade 7 Orientation when we were all so scared of leaving our friends and meeting new ones. Think of that certain fear of siiçh a large school. Think of getting used to the new rotary system and a different teacher for each subject and then having to learn your way around the school so you don't embarrass yourself by going into the wrong class. As the weeks passed we made friends md became used to our teachers and all their different rules. ; As we entered grade eight that certain fear seemed to return again, although we were much more confident, and we knew most of the staff and students. Now as we end we look back upon 'this year and all the activities that took place... There was the feeling of drama where students overcame overcame the fear of speaking, acting and even singing and dancing before an audience. There were the continuous practices morning, noon and night and the constant drive for perfection from Mrs. Hill. Through all the tests and lengthy science projects it all came together and in those three days in February, everyone was on cloud nine. Mrs. Hill was particularly pleased. We'd all like to thank Mrs. Hill and say a big goodbye goodbye because - well - she's retiring this year. We wish you a pleasant cruise. : As usual a large part of the year consisted oi sports. Various teachers took the time and patience to teach us the skills of the trade. All teams have been very successful and all deserve their fair share of fame. As it is done every year, a house league system was set up for students wishing to participate against friends and colleagues, There was also a wide variety of clubs to choose from such as chess, gymnastics, cheerleading, table tennis, yearbook, library assistants, the French club and even D & D - which is short for Dungeons and Dragons. A change that raised much discussion this year was that Industrial Arts Family Studies were co-ed. The girls tried their knack at the bandsaw bandsaw and other tools while the gentlemen tried their hand at sewing and cooking. I must admit though I've found a new insight for the roles of parents in running a house. This year has been filled with many activities such as Orientation Day, Tabloid Day, Track 'n' Field, Spirit Week etc. and our ever famous talent shows with that celebrated celebrated trio - the Irish Clovers. A big thanks to the Student Council members and the staff for organizing these events. The Student Council has put in a tremendous effort to try to make our year as enjoyable as possible. Now, after. filling in our option sheets we all look forward forward to Grade Nine, an even bigger school, more friends and even more teachers. We've all changed since we entered grade 7 so quietly and so reserved. It seems that with every year we grow more and more. , A special mention for a super year to the other candi dates for valedictorian: Alma, Dave, Anne, Janet, Cindy, Dannielle, Robin, Michelle, Inge, Cathy and Diane. Also a good-bye to a few members of the staff: Mrs. Trim, Mr. Roberts, Mr. Dallman, Mrs. Hill, and Mr. Munro. Good luck and all the best. In conclusion I would like to sum it up by quoting a certain teacher. This year has been a great year and there was much dedication among students - and that's quality! Thank you Our community extends best wishes to a local young lady who is entering the business world with her own enterprise. Mrs. Ann Hurren opens her new store the "Pinocchio" at the east end of Kent Street in Lindsay on the site of the former Polito grocery store on Sat., July 2nd. The "Pinocchio" is a general toy store which Ann has stocked with everything imaginable for the junior set. On the spacious shelves are to be found dolls by the dozen of every shape and size from cute cuddly, little Lady Diana dolls to ugly E.T. dolls. For the boys, there is unlimited choice - Tonka trucks, miniature farm implements of several makes, games of every description for young and old. There is a profusion of guns and bows and arrows sufficient to recapture the wild west from Peter Lougheed. Among the games are Star Wars series, T.S.R. fantasy games, Tinkertoy, Lego building sets. For the physical youngsters there are tricycles, bicycles for the younger set, doll carriages, stuffed monsters, Panda Bears and an unlimited choice. Ann will be serving light refreshments on opening day Sat., July 2nd, so why not drop in, browse around and give this ambitious young lady your moral and financial support in the week and months ahead. Such an ambitious project by a local resident deserves our backing.

On Sat., July 25th the "Speaker of the House" and your Scribe enjoyed attending a wedding in Kitchener, Ont. This was held in Highland Baptist Church with the reception held in the U.A.W. Hall also in Kitchener. It was our pleasure several years ago while on holiday in St. Peterburg, Florida to meet a mother and her daughter from Kitchener whose company we enjoyed and with whom we have kept in contact ever since. On Saturday it was our pleasure to attend the wedding of Mrs. Mary Flut's lovely daughter Beverly Ann and Hal Maskis also of Kitchener - a real enjoyable afternoon and evening. On Sunday afternoon Marti and Jane Malcolm and Dionne Martona attended a Jack and Jill Show in Scarborough for Jane's girlfriend Jackie Hanna and Chris Evans who are scheduled to enter into matrimony in near future. Mr. and Mrs. Terry Malcolm attended the wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Larmer in Milton on Saturday. Paul is a son of-Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Larmer of Blackstock. Congratulations are extended to Paul and his bride. In the interest of longivity, (ours), we should like to correct any false impressions we may have inferred that we were critical of actions of our local representative Arthur Rowan as regards to the sale of the Yelverton School property. I am certain that Art has nothing but the best interests of our community at heart. However, like most public servants, Art is not a mind reader and relies on input of local ratepayers to assess any given situation. If you are concerned about the sale of the ball park to private interests, Art welcomes your comments and suggestions. Please feel free to contact him and let your feelings be known pro or con. A general consensus of opinion would certainly help Art in this most important issue and influencing its outcome. Mr. and Mrs. Howard Malcolm, Murray Malcolm and Ann and Miss Tara Malcolm attended the dancing recital at Seneca College on Friday evening in which Miss Candy Malcolm participated in several numbers.

Its supporters say it is feasible, while opponents argue that it's too expensive. Source recycling would rely on home owners to sort their trash into useable materials such as tins, jars, paper, etc. Garbage trucks would need separate bins in order to pick up different categories of re-useable re-useable trash. Councillor Hamre said Monday that any effort to recycle municipal wastès would have to be a joint project project involving both the Durham Region Region and the Town of Newcastle. That's due to the fact that trash pick-up x is a local responsiblity while landfill is under the jurisdiction jurisdiction of the Durham Region. No date for the completion of the Town of Newcastle trash study has been given.
