News By Merrllee Brown Editorial: The Beginning of the End "School days, school days, Dear old golden rule days, Reading and writing and 'rithmetic, Done to the tune of a hickory stick." A lot has changed since the era of this little melody. Gone are the days of corporal punishment and the "three R's." Hopefully, however, the "dear old golden rule days" aren't gone forever. As the school year draws to a close, I am compelled to reflect over this past year and, indeed, over my five years at Bowmanville High School. Was it that long ago that my class companions and I entered the cavernous B.H.S., fearing initiation and our older siblings? We've come a long way, baby. We've undergone (suffered? endured?) a lot of changes over the years. We've had three changes of administration: administration: Mr. Bradley retired at Christmas, Mr. Clarke transferred to Campbellford and we had three new viceprincipals viceprincipals this year. Perhaps we just tired them out with all our energy. We've had timetable timetable changes, a switch from three lunch periods to two, a plethora of new staff and a few retirements. We've seen the addition of French Immersion and the expansion of special education. Some new murals were painted by students over the years and a new elevator was installed to make the entire school wheelchair accessible. Although there's always room for improvements, improvements, many changes for the better have been realized since we started back in '81. This year is also the end of an era for Bowmanville High School. Four of the school's teachers and Department heads who have so much experience at B.H.S. that they'Ve become institutions, are retiring. Mr. Robert Sheridan, affectionately known as "Bob", has been teaching students the third declension, the passive parifrastic and the story of Caecilius in Pompeii for over thirty years. Under his guidance, the Latin department department has grown and prospered, prospered, in an age where most schools have no demand for the "dead" language. But it's alive and living at B.H.S.! Although his students may be relieved to be spared some of his time-worn jokes, Latin will never be so entertaining again. | j -Mr. Farncomb Legresley, biology teacher for "scads" of yjufc(>Itos developed developed a topSqgih biology course frotn whitilv 'students have benefitted for', many years. "Farny" has endeared endeared himself to his students and, owing to the ease of getting him off topic, his students have benefitted from advice from Mr. Legresley's experiences in everything from scuba-diving to making turtle soup.

The chemistry teacher, fondly known as "Squeak" is retiring this year also after many years of experience at B.H.S. Mr. Jack Munday, a Bowmanville Bowmanville High School graduate himself, will be retiring from the headship of Student Services this year. His days of advising kids on everything from career choices to life skills will come to an end in little more than a week. How will B.H.S. survive this momentus staff turnover? Certainly new, and hopefully gifted, teachers will replace them bringing a new approach and fresh ideas. But they will never take the place of these B.H.S. "legends" for their legacy will linger on. Indeed, we've all come a long, long way. Sports Line By Geoff Vandermolen Hello everyone! This week we have more rubgy action, and B.H.S. baseball. This week's Sportsline, I am sad to report, will be the final report foi; this year. But for now here is more B.H.S. sports action. Our three B.H.S., rugby teams took to the field for two games recently against Anderson High School and Henry Street. Our senior team was the most successful against Anderson, as their game ended in a 3 - 3 tie. Both the Junior and Midget teams suffered the loss. Against Henry Street, it looked again as though our seniors would be successful until a "try" in the last two minutes by Henry Street upset the one point lead held by our Redmen. Once again the midgets and juniors suffered the loss. This week, our Redmen baseball players begin their play-offs, in a bid for a chance to play at Exhibition Stadium next week. Last week however, the team played three games, tying G.L. Roberts eight all, downing Courtice 9 - 6,' and losing to Henry Street 3 - 0. This week, the team meets Ajax in their first play-off game. A win against Ajax will result likely, in a battle against league rival, Eastdale. A second win over Eastdale will send our Redmen to face the Toronto representative, for the right to play next Monday at Exhibition Exhibition Stadium. I'm sure all of B.H.S. wishes our baseball BAHA'I FAITH "O people ol God! Be nol occupied with yourselves. Be intent on the betterment betterment ol Ihe world and the training of nalions. The betterment ol the world can be accomplished through pure and excellent deeds and well-approved and agreeable conduct." For Information call 623-7621 or 623-9277 A players the best of luck in the play-offs. As stated earlier, this will be the final Sportsline of this year, therefore I would like to take this opportunity to say some thank yous.
