PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, December 15, 1987 --- 17 He'll miss those smiling faces Friday is Bruce Cornwall's final day at Prince Albert Public School. The friendly principal is retiring from the educational business to go into an entirely different sort of business. See story for details. School principal retiring A 28 year veteran of education will walk through the doors of Prince Albert Public School next Friday for a permanent Christmas vacation. Affable principal Bruce Cornwall, 61, 1s retiring this Christmas, leav- ing behind many student and teacher admirers, as well as a host of memorable moments. [t was Mr, Cornwall, for example, who allowed students to cut off chunks of his ever-present tie in a humourous (and effective) fundrais- ing venture for the school. Gleeful- ly, the top fundraisers attacked his tie with scissors, while Mr. Cornwall dutifully moaned and made sad faces, much to the youngsters' delight. He was a relative newcomer at Prince Albert, joining the staff in September 86, but he managed to ingratiate himself with both teachers and students. On Thursday December 10, the Prince Albert Public School library overflowed with people, young and old, who came to wish him well at aretirement tea, a testament to his popularity. Over 28 years he made many friends in the teaching world, from the Peel Board of Education, where he had his first teaching job in Port Credit, through 21 years as a prin- cipal (at Dunbarton in Pickering, Sir John A. Macondald in Bay Ridges, to Ridgeway Senior School, to Prince Albert). And although he's thoroughly en- joyed his job, he says it's about time R 'save 24-cassette case 1s a rfect gift for music 330 vers on your list 098" TE | 1] phi) save 110 Concertmate-300 for a beginning musician in your family. 3995 Metal detector finds lost coins and jewelry Handyman's Christmas surprise.

"1 love teaching. | love being the principal of a school," he says, 'but [ have some ideas of what I'd like to do. 1 really feel I'd like to do something else." "Something else' includes becoming a partner in his son-in- law's Oshawa store Bicycle City, "a total change of pace," he admits, from the task of overseeing a school. And he wants to find some time to do some serious fishing, travelling, and visiting his two daughters and their families (he has three grandchildren). After Christmas, he'll be leaving his Caesarea home, which he shares with his wife Patty, and heading for Florida. But even as he is looking forward to a change, he knows he'll miss his friends at Prince Albert. "The children keep you young. They're always bubbly, the young ones especially," he says with a grin, "It's a very pleasant place to be. You're always surrounded by happy, smiling faces." And there's always special rewards, like the hand-drawn pic- tures he occasionally finds on his desk from students. "I'll miss it,"" he says, sighing.
