Seems a contradiction I know but exams arc no exciting way to end off a year. The excitement comes next as the whole school goes off camping together to Algonquin Park.

Summer holidays holidays have long been anticipated and all students plan to make the most of them. Whether they arc working or just enjoying the break from school, everybody has fun at the top of their summer priority list. Even while the school year was winding down, activities activities continued. There was lots of work to do to prepare for next year and there are still lots of goodbyes to be said for graduating students. Luckily Luckily the yearbooks have come out so we will never be able to forget this year at B.H.S. Evidence of the new students who will be attending B.H.S. next year could be seen around the school last week. Grade 8 students have been receiving receiving tours of the school. Guided by peer helpers, the new students arc shown the layout of the school, introduced introduced to some classes and they receive receive answers to any questions they may have about B.H.S. The tour includes includes viewing both a B.H.S., student-made student-made video that explores the social social aspects of high school life and a slide presentation put on by the yearbook yearbook class to welcome new students to the school. Entering high school can be an intimidating step and the students involved in conducting the tours and presentations help to make the transition a little easier. Leaving the high school in which you've spent the last four or five years, can be just as intimidating as entering it. For many, departing from B.H.S. also means leaving many friends and moving away, at least for the school year. Although most students students arc anxious to move on to a new stage in their lives, they may also be sad to see this one end. To ease the pain of separating, we can all look forward to Commencement in the fall. Dan Kooy was recently elected valedictorian by his peers to represent the grads of '93 and he looks forward to speaking to the class. In response to his selection, he reports, "I'm still speechless," but we know he'll overcome that by Commencement! Commencement! In addition to the election for valedictorian valedictorian in the last weeks of school, we also held students' council elections. elections. Many new people will be taking taking over the responsibilities of those who arc leaving. Pam Kelly, this year's Prime Minister, says of her term: "Well, it's been a good year but it has had its ups and downs. We had fun during the ups and learned from the downs." Rob Maclver, the new Prime Minister for next year, is looking looking forward to a fun-filled year. The Spring Concert was also held two weeks ago, giving budding musicians, musicians, dancers, politicians and come dians a chance to practise their acts' before an audience of their peers. Thé; audience, as well as those on stage,; seemed to be enjoying themselves. > Last week, the infamous- Screech; Owl was distributed to those students; who purchased them in the fall. The' students in the Yearbook course who produce the book, along with their teacher Ms. Allant, should be very proud of their work. The book is extremely extremely professional looking due to the extensive hard work put in to the making of it. This year's theme was Mosaic and it served to incorporate every member of the school. All in all, it's been a busy year around the school but soon the halls will be empty until September. Just remember, and I think the great philosopher philosopher Socrates said it best, "No more classes, no more books, no; more teachers..." (You know the rest).
