A: I have lots but I will pick Mr. Marken because he was very funny and made learning chemistry fun.

 

Q: What does it mean to you to be a CLC alumna?

A: I have always been proud to be a CLC alum. I graduated from grade 12 at CLC, then I took two years of university there before going to the U of A. It was, and is, a great school. I made lifelong friends and have many happy memories 45 years later. I also went back 15 years ago. The staff and students were very helpful to the old girl in class.
