The Midway arena was filled with proud parents and anxious grads as Boundary Central Senior Secondary celebrated its 44th commencement ceremony last Saturday with 27 graduates in the Class of 2014. Speaking on behalf of the Board of Education, trustee Cathy Riddle encouraged the grads to be proud of their accomplishments. “Your hard
work and determination has paid off and will guide you through the next phase of your life’s journey. Stay the course. Continue to trust yourself. Face the world. Don’t be afraid to fail. Ignore the naysayers, work really hard and remember to give something back.” Superintendent Kevin Argue congratulated the class on behalf of School District 51 (Boundary) administration. All in the crowd eagerly took up his invitation to stand and applaud their appreciation for outgoing principal Louise Bay-
les. He left the grads with words from Nelson Mandella, “May your choices reflect your hopes not your fears.” Bayles was chosen by the class to be the guest speaker at their graduation ceremonies. She offered them a checklist of 16 tidbits of sage advice. Some as simple as, “Don’t do anything really stupid.” Some common sense items made the list as well—“No matter how desperate you are, don’t sign up for credit cards no mat-
