Trafalgar Castle School - Yearbook (Whitby, Ontario Canada)

Messages . . , from our Principal: As I sit down to write this annual message the sun is shining brightly, the grounds are in full bloom and all seems well with the world and our school. Obviously, there are some dark days behind us; they are ever with us. Still, the feeUng persists that this has indeed been a golden year at Trafalgar Castle. Our school prospers. Laughter rings through the halls. Serious study is evident in preparation for the upcoming final examinations. Sports teams play with vigour and, often enough, triumphantly. Our upcoming graduates are torn between loyalty to the school they have come to love and eager dreams of anticipation for the adventures that await them beyond our gates. We came together in September, some new, many old, to face the rigours of learning and living together. The mix has not always been easy. But now that the end is in sight we have grown into a full-blown community, tolerant of our differences, appreciative of the wealth of qualities that each member has brought to the school family. When, years from now, we pick up this book and leaf through its pages memories will flood back. Some will be sad but most, I feel certain, will be happy. The future awaits us to be faced and conquered; the past, as represented in these pages, is a treasure house that will sustain us as we face that future. I hope that for many of you this past year will be remembered as a golden room in that treasure house. . . . and from our Dean: There are those who must have thought us daft From the way we cried together and the way we laughed. Well, some trust in chariots and some in big machines Some of you save diamonds, baby, some of us save dreams. . . . Rod McKuen This past year you have laughed and cried together, studied and played together, lived together. All this is not always easy but it is a growing experience. Save your dreams and use them. Good health and happiness, Ann Wiggins Best of Luck, Mr. and Mrs. Chin 21

Our Head Girl As my days at Trafalgar become numbered, I look back at the events which made this special castle a place to remember. The happy times with close friends; the late night studying for a particularly difficult test; and the constant buzz of activity found within our familiar walls, are daily occurences in the bustle of our school life. One notices that I include the pronoun, ' our ' when speaking of T.C.S. Perhaps, it is because many of us leaving Trafalgar feel a part of our character remains at T.C.S. when we depart. Although not all of our experiences are enjoyable, a tolerant and appreciative attitude is developed. Our sch ool provides us with extracurricular activities and a multitude of diverse personaUties to learn and benefit from. The opportunity for success is available at T.C.S. and I hope that all of you utilize this chance. Set high goals for yourself and you will achieve! Best of luck in all of your future endeavours! love, Nicole Taylor Student Council BACK ROW (1-r): Jayne Burness, Karen McCartney, Sherene Sahib, Mary Rathwell, Petra Palm, Sheila Birchard, Nicole Taylor, Jane Chin, Samantha Bentley, Alison Gilmour.
