Junior _ Essay by, Jennifer Preston - Port Elgin, Ontario. I shuffled my boots impatiently in the slush on the street as I waited for our town's Remembrance Day service to begin. My toes were numb and my fingers frozen. I scrunched my toes up inside my boots and blew: warm breath on my fingers. What was the significance of all this anyway? All Rememberance Day meant to me was going to a boring Remembrance Day service and freezing to death while there. Away in the distance I could hear the faint echo of bag pipes. In front of our town's war memorial the small group of onlookers started to turn their heads. The veterans appeared. Every face wore the same expression, grim and proud. As I watched not really paying attention I made designs in the snow with the toe of my boot. The master of ceremonies gave a small address to the crowd. I yawned loudly. A few people turned around and gave me sharp and angry glances. Then an old man limped up to the podium. On his face were a few vicious and noticeable scars. He spoke in a voice tired but filled with determination. He spoke of the tragedies and the triumphs of the war. I listened intently as he told in detail about the suffering and the heartaches that war had brought upon thousands of men, women and their families. At the end of his speech a warm feeling rose up inside me. I reached up to my jacket lapel and stroked my red poppy with a new attitude. Finally I understood. | Rita McBride for Trustee AN.

Arthur Lemieux On November 12, 1985, Terrace Bay Separate School ratepayers will have an opportunity to elect one trustee representative to the Lake Superior Board of Education. The name of Rita McBride shall be on that ballot. May I please take a mo- ment of your time to in- troduce myself. Terrace Bay has been my home for over 30 years. I have en- joyed receiving part of my education here, taught in St. Martin School, married Lorne who is employed with Kimberly Clark and share in the nursing and concerns of our children. The two youngest are students in the Lake Superior Secondary Systems. It has been my pleasure - to be involved in church and community activities most of my life, especially youth oriented organiza- tions. This year being a leader in "4H", a youth development fun activity, is my. prime choice. During the 1970's I served three complete terms as a_ responsible, concerned "'trustee" with the Terrace Bay-Schreiber Roman Catholic Separate School Board, the council during the formation of the North of Superior R.C.S.S. Board and the newly formed Board itself. Upon completion of the third' term I decided to retire for a few years as "charity does begin at home"' and I chose to en- joy the most precious years of parenting by giving my full support to my. family. Having done just that I feel comfortable and able to conscientiously address your concerns once again Congratulations Borden Ross, Joe Tees Joe scored 313 Borden scored 315 From your under 100 years bowling pals forget. THANK YOU We wish to thank our relatives and friends for the wonderful party held for our 25th Anniversary. Our thanks for the many gifts, cards and money tree we received. Special thanks to our children Dan, Darren, and Julie, and to my sisters Brenda and Debbie for all their efforts to make the evening one we will never Earl & Gail Welbourne with experience and responsibility. Equal opportunity for all students I voice very strongly. Each and every child deserves the right to be offered a challenge in his or her desire to achieve. Teachers should be made to feel comfortable in opening the doors to this challenge. Parents should be aware of the many choices in our educational system. Many of us do not understand the credit requirements used . today both academic and religious. Also, the many special needs area. It is our right to know and seek the best for our children. With the implementation of ex- tended Catholic School Funding which is a long awaited plus for largercen- tres let us strive so that we will not lose our voice in smaller communities which will not be able to feasibly supply both. Together, let us use our educational tax dollar to achieve and maintain top quality for, our "'students"' of today, our '"'hope" for tomorrow. Exercise your God given freedom of choice. Vote as you please, but Please **Vote."" Yours for togetherness and a strong voice for education in Terrace Bay. Sincerely, Rita McBride
