Then Itfs time ta slave over school books as we ail prepare for final examinations on June 3. A busy student is always a good student and to keep us onour feet there have been a number of special occasions that are very traditional and that we look forward ta year after year. The first event, Senior Dmnner, was held at the school an May 3 in honour of ahl the seniors and graduates. Itfs a time when the entire sehool gathers ta cherish the good times spent over the years and ta reflect upon the many accomplishments and friendships made. The evening was filled with heart-warming speeches that spread laughter and happy tears throughout the faces of the students and faculty. Ashley Bryant stood out as someone ta be noticed. She is a very talented young lady in Grade 8 whase magnificent sala of 77&e Way We Were was a tauching tribute ta al the graduating seniors who will be venturing off ta university in the fail. Grad Tea, held an May 15, was another special occasion. For this, alumnae members, and representatives from the parents' guild, board of directors, and faculty came and joined our graduating chass for an elegant afternoon tea. We chatted as we sipped from antique decarated tea, cups and filled aur plates with lots of gaoes. Other than graduation day, that sooms ta bie the last event in honour of the graduating seniors, sad but true. Tennis? Golf? Track? Gymnastice? This is where the fun lies. The majority of aur school is actively involved in at least one of these sports if not more. Asha and Kia James, Karen May and the relay team have worked very bard and their talent ta quahify for the final track meet in the following week. We wish them the best. May 22, two students attended the last and final golf taurnament at Blue Springs in Actan. Rising before the sun was a new experienoe for the two of them but they enjoyed a beautiffixl sunny day and represented Trafalgar well. May Day was hehd at the school on May 25 and was very enjoyable as always for bath the students and the public who attonded the event. It started off with the entire schoal marcbing around the circle driveway. Suzanne was aur 1996 May Queen and Suzanne Ma and Chiara Campetelli were the two counsellors who gave speeches. This day was also very special because it was the official Ã"peming af aur new gymnasium.
