lm if 4, W lx Atl? 1 ' wi , H , , Q , I if I ! Ylqiffff' Ek Y FRIENDSHIP A friend is a erson you really like, She'll play with you and ride your bike. She'll share her lunch with you at school, And she'll come swim in your pool. For your birthday she'll give you a horse, With lots of power and lots of force. You'll share your ice cream with her at the store, But don't forget to be home by four. She'll sing a song for you on a tape, In return you'll give her a fanc cape. So that's what frienci ships all about, Do not cry or do not pout. FRIENDS Friends are people that you can trust, They'll never turn their back, or walk away, They're people who'll always like you. What would the world be without friends? lt would be dark and gloomy, and no one would know what to say, whenever they passed you, day-by-day. Friends are wonderful to talk to, when you have a problem, they won't go away. - By Maria Reimer Lindsay Taam Rebecca Teskey Lisa Young Erin Zasada ' Al FRIENDS Friends are helpful, friends are kind, friends never f'never mind ! They help you when you're upset, they want to play with you, they help you when your hurt, so you won't feel blue! They play with you at recesses, they stand by you in line, they play with you at their house, maybe even mine! You may be other peoples friends, they may think you are nice, well anyone who is my friend, is like sugar and spice! - By Diana jennifer Adams Sangeetha Appavoo Nadia Barakat Michelle Bell Shannon Carson Jodi Cukierman Elizabeth Elliott Tiffany Foster Diana Fred I Sunit jolly 1 Celine Metraux Deborah Palmer si Cherly Pearson Catherine Rankin Keri Redfern - Maria Reimer .

Every once in a while, a warm breeze and a few droplets of water spray. The sun giving a warm, evening glow sparkled on the water breaking into tiny diamonds. Both of them thinking up mysterious adventures of the sea. Both of them sharin the love bet- ween them. Tiat day, they had traded their shoes. If ever they had a huge argu- ment and hated each other, they would have memories to hold onto . . . Memories of a friend. - By jenny Adams

SIXES Q K, Q Q X vf 1,1 ' W 'law ZH.. xr' l Q asf 3 . s A.. 2- vv E n, 'K . A AL- Mary Rigg The days that we can look back on junior School as a mere memory are fast approaching. The times that seemed so long could now be called short. The years of being younger, always looking up to see another's face, would be willingly called back, now that we are leav- ing. When I was young I looked up to the grade 6's. I considered them so lucky. In a way we are lucky, we are prefects, patrols, and the oldest in junior School, examples the teachers say. In a way we are not lucky. The sense that we will be leaving the happiness, the free- dom, the leisure of junior School in a while that passes so quickly, haunts us. I know that time will not stop so we can stay in junior School, but I cannot help wishing it would not end so soon. 1 t I jennifer Adams Catherine Arbour Shelly Bhayana Kristin Borger Ariadna Choptiany Nancy Ganas jackie Honey Stacie Karlowsky Briony Kirk Eva Kresz jean Lee Kassandra Madill Sarah McNally Sophie Metraux Barbara Niesler Catherine Peters Shandis Price Mia Rabson P I would be lying if I were to say that we did not look forward to Senior School. Even though we reluctantly leave, an irresistable voice still beckons us to grade 7, farther to futures that will hope- fully be happy and successful. When we enter junior high it is like entering a new world, starting at the bottom again, working up step by step, day by day, hour by hour. Sarah McNally
