The Senior Class of 2009 SPECIAL EDITION May 14, 2009 Final Farewell In 1996 the world was thrilled by the Nintendo 64, and shocked by the world s first cloned animal: Dolly the sheep. But they were not nearly as enthralled by these things as the group of 23 students that made their very first, and very tiny footsteps into their kindergarten classes that year was with their new adventure. Starting from day one, these students became one of the most close knit groups of students to ever pass through Bancroft-Rosalie. They ve worked hard and have made millions of memories and shared tons of laughs along the way. From dancing the night away, to cheering on classmates at all the games, and working late shifts at the concession stands, it s no wonder these 13 years spent together have gone by so fast. Now all that s left is graduation. On May 15 th, 2009, they will find themselves waving goodbye to Bancroft-Rosalie and embracing the many years they have to come as they spread their wings and take on the world as college-bound adults. Many tears will be shed as they go their separate ways, and say goodbye to their classmates, families, and this great school that they have known and loved for so many years. Commencement exercises will begin at 6:30 in the Bancroft Gym. Class colors are light blue and navy blue, class flower is a rainbow rose, class motto is We ll find a way, or we ll make one! And their class song is by their very own, Elley Smith, entitled Turn Back Time. Shelby Beaudette will give this year s valedictorian speech and Derek Muller will give the salutatorian speech. For one last chance to make memories together, the seniors took a sneak trip to Kansas City on May 8, and returned May 9 th. They stayed at the Great Wolf Lodge and spent the whole day Saturday experiencing the thrills of Worlds of Fun. The Baccalaureate ceremony was held on May 11 th, at 7 p.m. For the class of 2009-- may you always remember the good times you shared with friends, faculty, and fellow classmates. As you carry on with the remainder of your lives, may you never forget your time at B-R, or everyone who helped make you who you are now. Good luck with the rest of your lives, and hopefully you find everything that you are looking for. As you step into your new lives, remember this quote: The future lies before you like a field of driven snow, be careful how you tread it, for every step will show.
