In this issue

“Dear old Trafalgar, How can I from thee part, thou only hast my heart......dearest of Schools.”

So goes the last verse in our School Song. This is a thought which I have pondered over the last few months of my time here at the Castle as I head off into retirement. It is also a thought which the members of the Class of 2010 have contemplated in their graduation year. I have felt a special connection with this year’s graduates on this fact alone, as together we have experienced a series of “lasts” at the Castle over the past year.

Memories! My “Castle Memory Bank” is full of so many special memories of students, staff, parents and alumnae. Memories which I will not soon forget. I have been richly blessed to have had the privilege to have known the students, parents and staff who were part of my life and my career at the Castle over 32 years. The laughter, the fun and the School experiences which we enjoyed together were truly special.

Class of 2010, you have completed a major chapter in your life-long learning. A new and exciting chapter lies ahead of you! Most of you will find yourselves in college or university. In your immediate future after Trafalgar Castle School, strive to find your bliss, and then follow it! Your bliss will be that vocation or pursuit which brings you the most happiness and joy. When you find it, you will know it! When you have found it, follow it! Continue to pursue your bliss and nurture the fire within, always with respect for yourself and for others.

It has been a privilege for me to have been the Principal of Trafalgar Castle School for the past three years and, indeed, I have been fortunate to have worked here for 32 years. I am indebted to the School for providing my livelihood for my whole career.

I am very proud of the School, its students and its staff. It has been and will continue to be a place of learning, a sanctuary and a special community for students, staff, parents and alums in the future. The achievements of our students and the pride of our community, which was in evidence on Trafalgar Day, is living proof of what a great school we have.

My career has been extremely rewarding both professionally and personally, and it doesn’t get any better than that. I am proud to have played a part in the School’s success over the years, working alongside dedicated professionals on the Trafalgar Castle Team. The very positive feedback which our School received from our CESI/SEAL visitation team this past spring was very gratifying and further evidence of the strength of our School, referred to by them as a “Canadian Gem”.

I wish the students, staff and School community all the best in the future. I wish Adam de Pencier and the staff great success as they continue to move the School forward as one of the leading educational institutions for young women in Canada. I am going to miss the School but I hope to remain connected and watch its future achievements with interest.

So as I take my leave from Trafalgar Castle School, my home for the past 32 years, I say thanks to all for the kindnesses you have shown me, my wife, Monica, and my family and especially thanks for the memories!

J. Brian McClure,Principal

Trafalgar’s Grade 11 student, Maggie Carmichael, was chosen to participate in the FIFA World Cup Trophy Tour as a Canadian Youth Soccer Ambassador. Maggie was one of two youth soccer ambassadors involved as the FIFA World Cup Trophy was unveiled in Canada for the first time. The trophy travelled around the world on an eight-month, 138,902 kilometre FIFA World Cup Trophy Tour presented by Coca-Cola before the games kicked off in South Africa in June.

Maggie has been playing soccer since the age of 4, and competitively since the age of 7. Maggie now plays at the highest level available to her age group in the Pickering Soccer Club’s U16 league. Her team is the 2nd place team in Ontario in what is considered the best league in Canada.

Maggie aspires to play soccer at the varsity level with the ultimate goal of playing nationally. She said of her experience as a Canadian Youth Soccer Ambassador: “it was an amazing experience to see and play a part in the FIFA trophy ceremony as the Cup was unveiled for the first time in Canada. I was most excited about actually seeing the Word Cup because it’s the truest soccer icon. It was something not many people get to experience first hand and it has fuelled my dream to one day play in the World Cup”.

FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition in Science and Technology) was introduced to Trafalgar Castle School in September of 2004 when GM Canada helped form Team 1547, ‘Where's Waldo?’. Since its inception, highly motivated Trafalgar students have teamed up each year with teachers and dedicated mentors to design and build a robot in six intense weeks.

 

This year’s game, ‘Breakaway’, was played on a field which required two alliances of three teams to score standard size soccer balls into their nets. Each of these goals was worth one point. At the beginning of each match was a 20 second autonomous period where robots must be pre-programmed, followed by a teleoperated period, where human drivers take control. Bonus points were awarded to teams who could hang from a bar 6 feet in the air.

 

In Manchester, the birthplace of FIRST Robotics, Waldo wowed the judges securing the most prestigious of FIRST's awards - the Chairman’s Award. Not only did this award entitle the team to a spot at the World Championships, but ‘Where's Waldo?’ was also the first Canadian team to win this award on American soil! The team's success didn’t end there; at the Greater Regional Tournament in Mississauga, Team 1547 was selected to join the top alliance of the two teams 1114, ‘Simbotics’, and 2056, Orchard Park Robotics, for the elimination rounds. These three teams formed a powerhouse, dominating the field and becoming Regional Winners of the Toronto Regional, once again qualifying them for the World Championships. This was Team 1547's first ever Regional Win in its 6-year history, and they were ecstatic!  In Atlanta, ‘Where’s Waldo?’ was one of the few robots in its division that could successfully and consistently hang from the towers, making Team 1547 one of the top ranked teams for hanging bonuses. Thanks to the exceptional drive team, ‘Where’s Waldo?’ was a powerful, defensive robot constantly pinning and blocking opposing robots.

 However, ‘Where's Waldo?’ is about more than just building

robots. Team 1547 also works hard to inspire other students to get involved in Science and Technology projects by being active members in the community. Team members filled stockings with supplies for peacekeeping troops in Afghanistan and hosted ChildFind KidCheck ID sessions, creating “All About Me" ID cards for kids in our community. In addition, Team 1547 members took part in other activities such as World Vision's 30-Hour Famine, the One Million Red Ribbons campaign to raise Aids awareness, the CN Tower Climb for the United Way, Run for the Cure, and Trafalgar Castle School’s own Charity

The Team's success would not have been possible without the guidance of very knowledgeable mentors and parents who dedicated their time and expertise to the advancement of our Robotics Program. Thanks to mentors Lyndsey Lewis, Tatiana Lazdins, Jeff Sprigg, Jeff Mazzei, Steve Morris, Murray Tetford, Everton Murdoch, Greg Hyde and Dan Cho for their inspiration, enthusiasm and support throughout the entire season. The Team was also very fortunate to have help from dedicated supervising teachers: Mr. Spessot, Ms. Attridge, Ms. Caoile and most especially, Mr. McClure.  The team will greatly miss Mr. McClure's cheerful spirit and passion for ‘Where's Waldo?’ upon his retirement.

 All in all, this year's season was filled with great success and

much laughter. Team 1547 is eager and prepared to tackle any game FIRST comes up with next season!

The Grade 10 Civics students again participated in the Youth and Philanthropy Initiative, a program created by the Toskan Casale Foundation. The main goal of the program is to introduce students to philanthropic opportunities and to encourage them to become involved in assisting those in need in their local community. Students are responsible for researching a local, grassroots, social service charity in their community and compiling an informative presentation on their chosen charity.

The students with the best presentation are awarded a $5,000 grant from the Toskan Casale Foundation to give to their charity. This year’s winning students were Meghan Toswell and Heather Risdon for their outstanding presentation on Grandview Children’s Centre.

Meghan and Heather chose Grandview Children’s Centre because both of their families have been positively impacted by the services they provide. Meghan says: “I’m thankful for Grandview because they have played a huge part in

Heather’s brother, Andrew, received speech therapy through Grandview when he was younger. “I’m happy Grandview was an option for my family because they helped my brother when he needed it”, said Heather.

Grandview works with families and their children with special needs to achieve their personal best offering programs such as speech pathology, occupational therapy, physiotherapy, recreational and support programs. The Centre is currently operating with a wait list of over 1,000 children in need of various treatments. The $5,000 grant will allow Grandview to provide treatment and services to 3 of the children on the wait list, drastically improving their quality of life.

In April, the Grade 6, 7 & 8 students learned about Multiple Sclerosis and many chose to participate in the MS Read-A-Thon. An enthusiastic group of 38 students were very busy reading and getting pledges from friends and family. They read for over 17,000 minutes and raised more money for Multiple Sclerosis than ever before in Trafalgar’s 10 years of participation... $4,035! A very special mention goes out to the eleven Grade 6 students who raised almost $2,700! The money raised will go towards research, MS clinics, support for individuals and families coping with MS, and many other great programs. Congratulations to all of the participating students on their great contribution to this worthy cause.

�� ,��������������During May 17th and 18th, a number of Trafalgar Castle

students, once again, worked at ProjectWorld/Business AnalystWorld - the largest conference of its kind in the world and the only one that allows students to be volunteers. In addition to the members of our senior Project Management Class, Grade 11 students for next year’s class, as well as Grade 9- TIJ10 students (who study introductory Project Management concepts) were able to gain valuable exposure to Project Management and further

their public speaking ability. The conference ran during the entire week of May 17th with the main Track Sessions occurring during the 17th and 18th. The beginning of each day required the students to greet approximately 1,500 delegates and assist them in finding their way (which usually entails coffee first!). After the morning Keynote Speaker, delegates attended any one of ten workshops scheduled each hour. Our girls were in charge of the workshop rooms; they introduced speakers and ensured that each speaker started and ended on time. This sometimes requires them to step up to the front of a room with perhaps 200 Project Managers and ask the speaker to stop; an intimidating, but necessary task, and one which the girls are able to do with ease. The students are the ‘face’ of the conference and should be congratulated on representing Trafalgar Castle School in such a professional and personable manner. The feedback received each year through surveys is always overwhelmingly positive. Well done indeed!

On Saturday, May 15, Trafalgar Castle School celebrated its 103 May Court Festival with students, parents, alumnae, staff and community friends. The temperatures were a bit brisk but the festivities went on as scheduled, outdoors, beneath the vibrant copper beach trees. May Day once again reminds us of the wonderful culture and diversity we share as a community which helps to enrich each student’s Trafalgar experience. We saw many beautiful cultural dances and experienced a wide-range of cultural cuisine featured at the festival that followed.

This year’s elected May Court were Amanda Taylor, as May Queen, and her Counsellors, Amelia Cranfield and Summer Danakas. The three students were elected as the students who best exemplify our school motto, Veritas, Virtus, Venustas – truth, virtue and loveliness.

Following, we share some of the May Court’s Reflections with excerpts from our 2010 May Court speeches.

TruthTruth is the foundation of kindness and happiness for us and

for others. Here, all of us are taught to be truthful, not only in our academics, but in who we are as people, who we are with our friends and teachers, and in who we want to be.

Be true to yourself. Our school is made up of hundreds of beautiful, intelligent, successful young women. But no two girls are the same, and that is the beauty of it. By being encouraged to be true to ourselves, we are encouraged to be who we really are. Here, at school, we don’t have to be afraid to be ourselves.

Let truth be your guide. Be true to who you are, know what you love and what you are good at, and follow those passions. It is our values and our truth in them that define us as people, now, and in our future.

Summer Danakas, May Court Counsellor, 2010

Virtue Virtue is the integrity with which we carry

ourselves and is embedded deep within each and every young woman of Trafalgar. Virtue keeps us standing tall and allows us to find support in ourselves and in our beliefs.

While it may seem cliché that I encourage you all to be yourselves, there is no better way of describing to you the importance of self-confidence, and self-respect. Each one of us has a gift, a light, a unique colour that expresses who we truly are and all that we can be.

I encourage you all to embrace change, and to take on challenges. Stay strong, don’t be discouraged, and hold your heads high. This is to have found Virtue.

Amelia Cranfield, May Court Counsellor, 2010

LovelinessI believe there is more to loveliness than just the way we look.

True beauty or loveliness is not found on the outside, but on the inside. People who are truly lovely are the real kings and queens of this castle; the people who act from the heart day in, and day out. People who ask how your day was, not because it’s polite, but because they care. People who will continuously help you up when you fall.

Beauty is not just confined to the ways of a beautiful young woman; beauty can come in the forms of nature, of people's souls, of art, words, or a beautiful piece of architecture. You can choose to see beauty everywhere, or you can choose to remain untouched.

Amanda Taylor, May Queen, 2010

��������0 ���� ��)���������Throughout our local and international communities,

Trafalgar Castle School’s staff and students have been ‘making a world of difference.’ From Grade 6 through Grade 12, students have taken it upon themselves to give freely of their time and energy to make our community a better place. Looking at the community service hours that have been recorded, our girls have dedicated a total of 2,466.75 hours, and through several school and student initiatives have raised over $27,000. All of the funds were donated to support those in need and ‘do good things’ in many different communities.

This has been a very busy year for our school as we have worked to ‘Make a World of Difference’ and promote social awareness within our school. We couldn’t have done it without our Community Service Prefect, Celine Nathoo, and Student Leader, Andrea Dekeseredy. Their support this year has been invaluable. We will be sad to see them go but wish them well as they move on to University and take on their own initiatives. We welcome Giovanna Villianti, our 2010-2011 Community Service Prefect, as she adds her own flare and energy to help our school ‘make a world of difference'.

After 32 years at the Castle, Brian McClure is retiring. Brian has served the School as a teacher, Vice-Principal of Academics and most recently, Principal. He came to Trafalgar for his first teaching job as a young Grad in 1978, and has dedicated his entire career to the education of the young women of Trafalgar. When asked if he ever thought he’d be in the same place 32 years later, Brian replied: “Things happen throughout the journey that provide professional change and help to keep you challenged and invigorated and, before you know it, time has passed. It’s been an honour to have been here to see such a significant portion of the evolution and history of the School”. Brian feels a person’s longevity is more a testament to the institution than to the individual. Perhaps, although the more than 250 guests who gathered to celebrate Brian’s career were certainly a true testament to this great individual, educator, colleague, mentor and friend.

Brian was hired as a Science and Music Teacher by Dr. Regional Davis and was given the lead on the traditional Carol Service in his first year. He became Trafalgar’s first Vice-Principal of Academics, a position created in 1988, during Craig Kamcke’s tenure. In 2007, Brian became Trafalgar Castle School’s ninth Principal in its 136 year history.

With each position Brian experienced great rewards. “Once a teacher, always a teacher. I loved my time in the classroom. These last few weeks I’ve received many emails from alumnae who remembered certain classes or lessons with me over the

years and it’s nice to know you’ve had some influence. As V.P. of Academics I also served the students in a Guidance capacity and found it very rewarding to see the acceptances rolling in, knowing you’ve played a part in helping the students pursue their dreams and goals. And becoming Principal at a school where you’ve worked for so long has been pretty special and a particular honour. In this role I got to experience first-hand

what I already knew; how challenging and rewarding it could be, all at once.”

Brian has always had a passion for teaching Science and getting students excited about the Sciences and has played an integral role in the advancement of our Robotics Program since its inception. His participation in the Robotics Program ranks high on his list of career highlights. “My involvement with Team 1547 was as much fun for me as it was for the students. The whole program is designed to inspire and recognize science and technology. Every year I’m proud to see the girls so confident in their abilities and watch them live up to

the motto ‘Girls Can!’. It has been a very rewarding experience. Team 1547’s Robotics students credit Brian as their greatest supporter and fan; “Mr. McClure claps so hard when he cheers that the skin on his palms actually cracks!”.

To identify a single favourite experience after so many years is difficult, but one which rates high is Brian’s bank of Trafalgar Day memories. “Being able to see the joy and pride of parents as their daughters walk across the stage to graduate is a feeling that I identify with. It’s always a proud day for the School and the community.” Brian carried his love of music with him

cover�����

� �����������4��%��������5�����

�������������

Brian & Monica McClure

throughout his career and continued to have an active role in the music program and the Carol Services long after he officially handed over the reigns. “I’ve loved being a part of the music program. Whether it was playing piano in Chapel or playing the organ at the carol service or just hearing students play music. It’s also been particularly rewarding to have children of former students come back to the School. It says a lot about the School”.

For anyone who has ever met Brian knows that behind the great man, stands four great women. Brian is the ultimate family-man and the Trafalgar community has been fortunate to have the ongoing support of Brian’s wife, Monica, and daughters, Heather, Christie and Sarah. “I still remember the day Heather was born. I was heading out for a staff vs student soccer game. Then began the connection between the School and my family.” His family has always been actively involved in the school community taking part in events, camping retreats, summer camps and last spring, Brian walked his youngest daughter, Sarah, down the aisle of the Grace Chapel as she wed Eric D'Aoust. “There was great excitement around the School with the birth of all three of my girls. My whole family has been supportive of me and my commitment to the School and I can’t thank them enough for that”.

In his upcoming days of freedom, Brian is most looking forward to a change of pace and spending more time with his family. He plans to get more actively involved with the church and community outreach. What he’ll miss most is the day to day interactions and camaraderie. “The School is not made up of bricks and mortar. It’s a community of people, students, staff, parents and alumnae. I’ll miss the staff and the fun and energy and laughter. I’ll miss the airbands. And I’ll miss the building. My beautiful Castle.”

We extend a warm welcome to Adam de Pencier, Trafalgar Castle School's new Head of School, and his family as they join the Trafalgar community.

This year has been filled with many exciting events in Residence, making it a memorable one. From swimming, yoga, zumba and cooking classes, to our Annual Talent Show, the girls made the best of their time in Residence.

For the February long weekend, Mrs. Roud and Ms. Sikora accompanied our boarders to Quebec City for the 'Winter Carnival'. Some of the attractions included the Winter Carnival Parade, a visit to the Basilica of Ste-Anne-de-Beaupre, Montmorency Falls, Les Galeries de la Capitale and a tour of the Ice Hotel. The girls also had an opportunity to go to Glissages de la Terrace to enjoy an age-old tradition - taking a seat on a toboggan and sliding all the way down to the foot of the Chateau Frontenac. This was an unforgettable experience!

Over the May long weekend, Ms. Attridge, Ms. St. John and some of our boarders visited Niagara Falls. Some of the attractions included: The Maid of the Mist, a Journey Behind the Falls, the IMAX theatre, the Fallsview indoor water park, Niagara’s Fury, The Butterfly Conservatory, Marineland and one of their favourites - Clifton Hill!

As part of the Residence Experience, all the Residents and Staff also made a trip into the city to enjoy the theatrical performance of “Jersey Boys”.

In April, the Residents and staff shared an evening of friendly competition, laughter and bonding at “Nebs Fun World”. The girls took to the races, bombing around the track in their go-karts, and played games in the arcade. Later, the Resident Families had an opportunity to compete in a friendly game of bowling!

As we end another year in Residence, we would like to acknowledge the wonderful participation of our boarders in our May Court Festival. From the preparation of their international dances to putting together a magnificent table of international cuisine, their energy and enthusiasm was outstanding. We thank you for sharing your culture with us and demonstrating the wonderful diversity we have the privilege to experience with you each day at the Castle.

To say goodbye to our boarders, the Resident staff organized a Farewell Dinner and Carnival for the girls with a BBQ, jumping castle, piñata, two-legged races, pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey and a water balloon toss! As a memento for the boarders, Ms. Caoile put together a beautiful picture frame with a photo of all the Residents to commemorate the special year we’ve shared.

The Residents had to work together to make their boarding experience a great one. We are sad to say goodbye to our Grade 12

It is with some sadness that I write my final message as Head Girl. It has been the greatest honour and privilege

for me to have served as Trafalgar’s Head Girl – a role I had aspired to since I started at Trafalgar in Grade 6. My year as Head Girl has been better than I could ever have imagined.

One of the highlights was having the privilege of living in residence throughout the year. This was an amazing opportunity for me to experience what it’s like living away from home but also for me to bond and become very close with our boarders. From our residence outings to Wonderland and Jersey Boys to the end of year Residence Carnival – my time in residence was full of fun and laughter! My year as Head Girl also involved being a leader of leaders as I led a group of 11 outstanding girls – the Prefects. Through the laughter, stress, tears and joy that the year brought, our group grew both individually and together. And, throughout it all, we made amazing memories to last us a lifetime! We became the best-looking Backstreet Boys and Spice Girls, imitated and “roasted” our faculty and staff, and organized and hosted a very inspirational LIFT conference. A final aspect of my year as Head Girl that made it extra special was sharing it with Mr. McClure. I never thought that a routine ritual as simple as standing outside of Chapel every morning with Mr. McClure would end up to be one of the best parts of my day. It was a true gift for me to celebrate all of my “lasts” at Trafalgar along with Mr. McClure, as they too were his “lasts”. My only words for him remain, “To Sir, with love”.

I can remember my first day at Trafalgar as if it were yesterday. I sat in that orientation chapel and watched as the Head Girl made a speech welcoming all of the new students. I only hoped that one day I too would be able to fill that white blazer with as much dignity, grace and respect as those who came before me. Now, my 7 years at Trafalgar have come to an end but I will always remind myself of one thing; “Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened.”

On Saturday, June 19th, 37 beautiful young ladies, connected by the traditional daisy chain, graduated and officially became alumnae of Trafalgar Castle School. I congratulate each of you and welcome you to The

Alumnae Association. Please keep in touch and be sure to join us at our alumnae functions.

Brian McClure will be retiring after 32 dedicated years at Ontario Ladies’ College and Trafalgar Castle School. We thank Brian for his many years of dedication to the School and to The Alumnae Association. As Brian and Monica are now officially alumnae, I know they will continue to support The Alumnae Association, and look forward to seeing them at many of our events. On behalf of The Alumnae Association, I presented Brian with an SLR digital camera and lens at his retirement celebration.

I welcome Adam de Pencier as our new Head of School. Adam will officially assume his role on August 1st, 2010. We welcome Adam and his family and look forward to working with him. If you are at the School, please take the time to visit Adam and introduce yourself.

After 11 years as President of the Alumnae Association, I will be stepping down. I thank you for allowing me the opportunity to be the President of the Alumnae Association of Ontario Ladies’ College and Trafalgar Castle School. How wonderful to be able to work in an environment with such a rich 136 year old history of educating young ladies within these elegant walls and beautiful campus, and with so many wonderful people. When I took on this commitment I had two goals; the first was to rebuild The Alumnae Association, and the second was to establish an Archive and Memorabilia Centre. Rebuilding The Alumnae Association has been a challenge but we have made great strides in the past eleven years. When the association was founded in 1906, their mission was to help graduates stay connected to one another and to the School. Our mission is still the same today.

Bitten by the archival bug, several alumnae began the hard task of gathering memorabilia from long forgotten nooks and crannies in the School, with the vision to collect, conserve and exhibit our treasure trove of photographs and memorabilia. This preliminary work inspired the development of the Archive and Memorabilia Centre. This project took seven years to complete at a cost of over $20,000 and would not have been possible without the Annual Fund Program which identified this centre as one of its major gifts of choice.

When I look back at my 11 years as President, I am proud of

all our many accomplishments. I am also very fortunate to have met and worked with so many wonderful people who have been very supportive of me and the Alumnae Association. I would like to thank my Alumnae Executive for their dedication and support, the Board of Governors, and all the alumnae, staff, students and parents who have volunteered or taken part in alumnae functions.

My decision to step down as President has been a very difficult one, but I believe the right one. These past eleven years have been very rewarding and at times challenging for me but I have learned a lot. I think now is the time for someone to bring new and fresh ideas and encourage the younger generation to get more involved. This is a very rewarding position. The foundation and groundwork is in place; we just need that one person at the head to give a little push!

I would like to thank Rhonda Daley for organizing such a wonderful Alumnae Reunion Dinner in my honour. It has been a pleasure working with Rhonda, and I look forward to continuing our friendship for many years to come.

I also thank The Alumnae Association for the wonderful Tiffany ring which was presented to me at the dinner. Every time I wear it I will think of all the wonderful years at the Castle and the many friendships I have made and hope to continue. I thank Trafalgar Castle School for the beautiful necklace, the stone placed in the Alumnae walkway, and the flowers, but most importantly, to everyone for all your support. I could not have done this without you. Many thanks to Brian McClure, Alan Garbe, Barbara Rowe and Jessica Near for your kind words at the dinner, and to everyone for your gifts and wonderful cards. I have been truly blessed.

In closing, I would like to remind you of the importance of The Alumnae Association. Being part of this association assists you in keeping in touch with friends from your time at the School, and also in making new friends with people who share a common bond. Trafalgar has given us many things in addition to an excellent education, the most important being gratitude for the loyalty of great friends.

My motto is be connected and stay connected. The relationships between a school and its alumnae can be many things. Our traditions unite us, the exceptional education propels us and our events and newsletters bring us together. I will continue to be connected.

Many, many thanks and have a safe and wonderful summer. I look forward to seeing you all at our next alumnae function!

Cheers;Jo-Ann Dudar

Excerpt from Kaitlynn Paveletich’s Trafalgar Day Chapel Address

"I know better than anyone how challenging the last year at Trafalgar can be. The faculty have worked you hard and tested your ability to task manage– late nights, lots of quizzes and tests! But you can all now take a sigh of relief and let this little thought sink in – “it’s over”. Well, at least for the summer, for the majority of you, and then you will be back to hitting the books - but this time in a different fashion – the interesting, exciting, maturing, socially adventurous and ultimately kind of scary fashion…associated with University.

When you’re here and a part of it, you don’t really realize how much of an impact Trafalgar has had on your personal growth - the wonderful times I had at this school shaped my work ethic, social skills and overall determination to succeed, definitely contributing to the strong woman I am today. Think about it – most of you probably spend more time at Trafalgar than you do at home. This place was my second home and I was completely comfortable here.

I was a lifer at Trafalgar – meaning I had been here for 6 years. So as I was attending my first week of university classes I noticed one huge difference between Trafalgar and University… I was looking around the class and there were BOYS EVERYWHERE! Good thing? Maybe. But I did notice that they were dominating the class. No girls were speaking up, or asking questions. All you heard were the males speaking their minds… and I was thinking to myself… I was definitely not raised in an environment that would be okay with this! You are all strong, smart, independent young woman – SPEAK UP. Trafalgar has enabled you with a voice and provided you with an awesome educational background – don’t be afraid to use it! Yes it can be nice to be sitting amongst the opposite sex, but it can also be annoying. So make sure you are heard and don’t get too wide-eyed and bushy-tailed amongst the men. Snap out of it!

Appreciate the opportunities you have been given and make the most of the journey ahead. Congratulations again – it is going to be an amazing adventure!

Kaitlynn Pavletich, Class of 2004

To ChangeIt’s that time of year again. Not quite the end, but still seemingly

far from the new beginning. To the grads of 2010, this is it.

It’s our time, now. As we all depart from what has become our second home to venture out into the world, we will become the doctors, businesswomen, stars, and teachers we set out to be. But here I set before you a challenge. Don’t ever stop. Don’t stop learning. Don’t stop achieving. Don’t stop believing. You are all strong, bright, and beautiful young women. The only thing stopping you from finding a cure, starting a company, or inspiring change, is yourself.

Society has expectations for us and we are granted with a choice.

We can choose to live up to what everyone else expects of us, or we can create our own boundaries. We can choose to live without limitations. The greatest empowerment you will ever experience is that of your own self confidence, and attaining your own goals.

Approach confrontations with vigour and strive for nothing less than the excellence you have lived up to until now. Never be afraid of failure. Embrace the opportunity to do better, or try differently. Learn from the past. Look to the future. Live for the present.

Never feel guilty for taking a moment to slow down, and breathe. Even more so, never feel ashamed to stop and help someone else, should they need to do the same. It’s a gift, what we’ve inadvertently given each other. Friendship isn’t something that’s asked for. It starts as a spark, but it’s through ongoing love, support, and good humour

that the bonds get stronger.

So what does it mean to be a Trafalgar graduate? It means we are breaking free from the safe, comforting, and nurturing walls of the castle we have come to call our home; saying goodbye to those dear friends we may even consider family. What does it mean to be a Trafalgar graduate of the class of 2010? Just look up at the 37 lovely young ladies sitting here before you today. Get to know their faces, remember their names. I assure you

that you’ll be hearing much more of them and their remarkable accomplishments in the future.

Graduates, remember where you came from, and remember who you are. We aren’t going to get another moment like this. All of us gathered here together for what will realistically be the last time. That’s the way life is. The world will keep on spinning no matter where you are in it, or where you dream of where you could be. But no matter what direction each of us takes, remember we’ll all be watching the same sun rise and fall each day, have the same memories to cherish, the same contacts to keep amongst our lifelong friends. Take the time now ladies to grasp as much of today as you can. Say what needs to be said as we make our final goodbyes and good wishes to each other. You’ll never have another moment quite like this.

It’s that time of year again, and this time, it’s ours. Amelia Cranfield

������������� ������Jo-Ann (Ames) Dudar has

been President of the Alumnae Association for 11 years, although her relationship with the School spans over forty years. Jo-Ann attended OLC as one of the School’s only day students back in ’64 under Dr. Osborne’s tenure. While a day student, Jo-Ann was also indulged with the boarding life experience when her parents travelled on business. She has endless tales of how her OLC experience shaped her life during those formative adolescent years; most memorably are the friendships formed and the education she received – and a few others that cannot be recounted in print!

Jo-Ann became actively involved with the Alumnae Association when she joined the planning committee for the 120th Alumnae Reunion in 1994 and has remained active ever since. She, along with her OLC classmate and friend, Elise (Oughtred) Bond, ’64, went on to co-chair the 125th, 130th and the 135th Reunion Weekends.

I have had the honour of working very closely with Jo-Ann since

I first came to Trafalgar and through her, have come to know the true meaning of what it is to be an alumnae. She is steadfast in her motto, ‘Be connected. Stay connected’; so while she is officially retiring as President, I know that she will continue to shape the School through her continued involvement with the Alumnae Association.

On behalf of the entire school community, I would

like to thank Jo-Ann and her Executive Committee for moving the Alumnae Association forward while preserving and maintaining the Castle’s traditions, heritage and memorabilia. We will miss her everyday presence at the School but know her connection to the School is a lifelong connection. We wish her much happiness and relaxation as she enjoys more quality time with her family.

The Alumnae Reunion Dinner in May was held in honour of Jo-Ann and all her contributions to the School and to the Alumnae Association over the years. Nearly 100 fellow alumnae, Board members, parents, staff and friends, joined the festivities.

Last year you were all so kind to send flowers and good wishes to my Mother for her 90th celebration. My mother and aunt still practise the manners and skills they learned back then. In each generation since then, the lessons have still been an obvious positive influence. We are so grateful that they were able to attend your marvelous school”.

honour the wonderful milestone. Helen and Kelly met on a blind date in Aurora, arranged by a friend. The second date was sup-posed to be at Casa Loma, but instead, they ended up in Western Hospital with Kelly wearing a mask - Helen had been diagnosed with Scarlet Fever! The couple were married in Stratford then relocated to Halifax for

Kelly’s work in the military. Helen and Kelly are now retired and live in Bowmanville. Congratulations on your golden anniversary!

Ethelwyn writes: “We gathered early afternoon at our home in the country and the talking and laughter began. We set out on a walk in our woods to see the bloodroot, hepatica, red trilliums and wild ginger followed by dinner here. Later we went to a motel by the lake in Cobourg for the night of sharing, talking and laughing - with some sleeping! The next morning we talked and laughed and reminisced some

more and finally went to the Dutch Oven (a Cobourg tradition) for a delicious home made brunch. We did some shopping and reluctantly said our farewells. What a gift to feel so comfortable with each other. OLC is such a bond for us all and we are so thankful for our friendship today.”

Ethelwyn and her hus-band, Al, just returned from a fabulous six and a half week 15,000 km road trip. Their first stop was in Ojo Cali-ente in New Mexico, between Santa Fe and Taos to visit Pat (Dun-ham), Class of ’60, and Reg Campkin and their daughter, Regan, and

husband, Walter (Regan is also an OLC alum). Ethelwyn writes: “Pat was May Queen and I was one of the counsellors along with Paula Crocker in May of 1960 at OLC.  Pat and I had not seen each other since June of 1960 - fifty years ago! We stayed with them for three nights; they were consummate hosts and tour guides for Taos, Santa Fe and area. The guys enjoyed our time to-gether almost as much as we did; we did a lot of talking, sharing, catching up and laughing; the time flew by.  We just picked up where we left off 50 years ago. We felt like sisters. Being at OLC nurtured this connection and made this possible! Our visit was the highlight of our trip”.
