Parents awards. The 1990 graduating class of BHS is pictured and friends of 197 graduating students watched the here. by Christopher Hilbom B.H.S. Valedictorian Over the past few weeks, I have often found myself thinking about this evening and remembering our five years at Bowmanville High School. As I look out into tne sea of smiling faces before me, it is hard to imagine that five years ago these same people sat in these same seats (a lot younger, a lot shorter and with a lot more metal in their mouths) staring at the most intimidating intimidating and ugly Grade 13's imaginable. Mr. Taylor, platform guests, ladies and gentlemen, gentlemen, and fellow graduates. It is with great pleasure and pride that I stand before you this evening to bid farewell and good luck to the class of 1990. Upon entering B.H.S., our parents and teachers tried to convince us that now we were in high school, it was time to take school more seriously. However, this proved difficult in chemistry chemistry class with the use of Bunsen burners, and a certain certain math teacher that was often spotted as Madonna or a left handed pickle. The teachers at B.H.S. taught us many things that we will probably never use again. However, we did receive receive a well rounded education education from teachers that were as diverse as the graduating class itself. Mr. Chambers seemed to find great joy in teaching. During math class he was often heard saying, "These are fun, let's do some more." Mr. Ball was always there to lend a hand, because because we were sure he had five. He could produce maps faster than Mr. Morris could make us write the final exam. Mr. Crookshank always always shared his editorials with the_dass. From him we learned a great deal about the chaotic world we live in. It is also rumored that Mr. Former students of Bowmanville High School returned home from university, college and jobs last weekend to attend the annual commencement ceremonies held at the school Friday evening. Part of the evenings activities included the Valedictory Valedictory Address, presented this year by Christopher Hilbom. The valedictorian is pictured here being congratulated by principal John Taylor. Netten once treated a vector like a scalar. Derek Volling found this knowledge so overwhelming that he was often seen with his head down in class. Chris Hay seemed to soak up this new knowledge by osmosis as he maintained the highest average average for each of our five years at B.H.S. As important as the academics academics were, a lot has to be said for the experiences we gained outside the classroom. classroom. Many students learned a great deal as they travelled the world on our sports teams. I'm sure the grade nine rugby trip is remembered remembered by many. Also, there were many notable individual individual athletic performances, performances, such as those of Paul Stonehouse who should be commended for his excellent excellent running. An anonymous team member of his discovered discovered the many benefits of cross country running, when he received a free nose job shortly after finishing a race. The drama productions have always been considered second to none. Performance of the The Sound of Music, Grease and most recently Godspell have brought many talented students together. These plays were made possible possible by our excellent directors directors Mr. Lindop, Mr. Sobil, Miss Lawrence, Mrs. Hills, Mr. Parker and the Sheridan Sheridan family. The bands at B.H.S. not only sounded professional, professional, but also experienced experienced LIFE when they travelled travelled to New York. In return, we had the visiting Village People who made several appearances at the school. And who could forget the art department's participation participation in Dancemakers. The Student council did an excellent job throughout the year keeping our school spirit up. Jonathon Goad should be recognized for his thankless job and many hours spent as Prime Minister Minister for two years. Hold It!

Thank you to the teachers, who were aware that we may never remember remember a Scottish king's hallucinations hallucinations about a bloody dagger dagger and that the sum of the forces may not have a great influence on our lives. They encouraged us to put our minds to work, to think independently independently and to express ourselves clearly. They prepared prepared us well for the "real world". A special thanks must also be sent out to our parents for their patience, support,* and for surrendering surrendering their cottages when a group of students needed to get away for the weekend. And to our friends for being there through the good times; and ■ the bad. We shared many smiles, a lot of laughter and memories to last a lifetime. Tonight is. an occasion to mark the beginning of a new era. As we enter the real world, some of us have chosen chosen to work, some have chosen chosen to continue their education education at other institutions and some have chosen to go to QueerVs.

Thank you and goodnight. Writer Offers Thoughts on Garbage Sites Dear Sir: I ponder on the problem that former Clarke Township Township is having with the real possibility that they could become a site for a Regional dump. In the early 1970's when the enormous study was done of how the Durham Region Region should be constituted it was NOT recommended that Clarke even be a part of the Region. Clarke was added very much as an after thought and only after political political intervention. _ (This study can be found in the Regional archives). Obviously, if the technical technical advisers had had their way, former Clarke would not now bo the subject of a possible regional dump. It would be interesting to analyse how Clarke might have fared without the Region. Region. Probably the same as Manvers. Certainly there would bo no dump. It might also be argued that the re- e tnx bite would have existed for Clarke taxpayers. Eighty percent and more goes in Regional police and social services. Do Clarke taxpayers use that much of either service? The cost of water and sower does not come out of Regional Taxes but a separate water user account" into which users users pay separately from the tax bill. Water lor Nowtonvillo and Orono. The Ministry of the Environment would have been obligated to bo a larger player in that problem. problem. The Village of Nowcnstlo and the expansion of those sower and water facilities for development! The people who live there know more about their feelings on that than 1 do. We will of course never know the answer to those questions because a formal enquiry into the benefits of Clarke being in or out of the Region can only bo initiated by the elected councillors. If Clarke wore taken out of the Region, they would lose their considerable pay cheques Ah well, it does not hurt to muse a little.
