June Verse:

Summer's pulse quickens and flows,
and in lengthening light
a fullness grows.

The whitened loads of mountains tall,
surge, helpless, resounding,
to fall in torrents furious and deep,
beneath the relentless sun.

A fresh proud liberty is then unleashed,
and a rich full year calls us to meet,
and face the sun,
and thank each other for what we've become.
Carey Bacon 1984

This years graduation began with the tradition of the class playing on recorders and singing"Fare You Well"

Mr. Scutt gave a great summery of the the year and the last week as well. The "Older girls" arrived at school before him one morning. Yet another traditions the kids try for as getting in ahead of Mr. Scutt in the morning is not an easy task.

Each member of the class recited a poem this year. Some very funny and some poems of rememberance. All were recited very well.

Mr.Scutt also read a story he had written about the problem of not listening well. He spoke about being the one who was not listening well when one of the students told him the flower starts being used in a science experiment needed water. He did not heed this warning and so arrived one early morning to find the starts gasping for water. It was a very funny and true story.


The class sang a medley of songs from the years. Included in the medley were: Kookaburra, Soul Cakes, Mr. Sun, Soul Cake, White Sand and Barges.

There were many nice comments and tributes to Ursula's smiling face and sunny disposition. There were also some fun photos of an interesting snowball fight Ursula had with a past classmate. Mr. Scutt talked of her excellent school record and her willingness to help and lead the class as an 8th grader. Her kindness to others was mentioned again and again. Liz presented the "Community" gift which is a beautiful hand made box by Don Pitts. She talked about Ursula's smiling friendly face and good cheer. The "School" gift of the traditional quilt came next given by Rene. Then the class lead by Ursula headed out to serve, and of course eat, graduation cake and punch

It was a lovely evening and we wish for Ursula all things good in her future!
