' 7KeMto ' Ue ! Eleven years ago we were beginners, some shy, some noisy, but all expectant. We were a lucky class, the last to begin in the traditional one-room schoolhouse with its water pail and dim cloak rooms. During the past eleven years we have become a real class with real class loyalties and real memories. There are many things we will remember: Christmas parties and Hallowe’en parades, cold mornings when we sat on the re¬ gisters to get warm, noon hours spent on the ballfields in spring, teachers we ' ve especially liked, lines written and recesses spent in our desks for chewing gum, laughs we’ve had. It will seem strange not to be coming back after next Junw. The past eleven years have been good ones. Still, we are more than eager to see what the next eleven years will be like. We don’t know what we will be or where we will be in eleven years, but we do know that it will be shaped by our years here. You have become very much a part of us, LA GLACE SCHOOL. Ellie Epp ' pcviewed A farewell party organized by the Grade Ten Class was held for the Grade Eleven Class on May 25, in the La Glace Gym. Approximately sixty students participated in the annual event. The theme Wonderland by Night was played in the background. The decorations consisted of streamers which were silver and various shades of blue. The words of the theme, a moon and eleven stars, were made of tin foil; the graduates’ names were written on these stars. The room was filled with blue light to create an effect of night. Blue balloons filled with confetti completed the decora¬ tions . Various types of games were played by the students. After the games, refreshments were served. To the members of the Grade Eleven Class, our best wishes for all of the fine things thati 13 fe can give. Grade Ten Girls Education commences at the mother’s knee, and every word spoken within the hearsay of little children tends towards the formation of character.” Hosea Ballou
