A turkey dinner was served at 1:15 p.m. Then enchue was enjoyed, prizes were; ladies high, Mrs. Prim to the oldest lady and gentleman were won by Mrs. ffattie Ryan and Bill Smith. Closed by singing "God save the F' Queen", Mrs. Elsie Henderson was the accompaniest. Then we visited some of the residents. About .19 Senior Citizens of Seaforthv motored to Huronview, Clinton on Saturday, enjoyed the outing very much. One of the things ',like about teaching is that you are not stuck with the same old stupid faces year after yeer, as you arse in most jobs. In teaching, you get a whole set of new stupid faces every year. They come in every September, an entire new gallery of mugs, and sit there looking at you. They look pretty dumb, like any other representative group of people, and you have a moment of despair, It doesn't help much when some of the faces are closed and sullen, and others are sneaky or insolent or just plain devised for hellery. "Oh, boy! This is no bumper crop. More bumptious than bumper. Looks like a rough year ahead:, But some strange alchemy goes to work during the year, and by June, if you're lucky, those faces are no longer strangers, but a host of new friends and acquaintances. You have discovered all kinds of things, in the give and take of the classroom, about these bodies, and now you know them as aspects of the human spirit, however blurred or bent, in some cases. That girl with the big bust and bum and the pouty mouth, whom y on registered as Hot-Lips Houlihan type back in September, has turned out to be a sweet child who blushes if you ask her what time it is. Conversely, that angelic, straight- looking girl with the big honest eyes and the good manners, whom you spotted as a potential prize student last fall, was hauled into court last winter for being drunk and disorderly, a nice way of saying she beat up two cops. That little ratty guy with the dirty hair and the sides falling out of his sneakers, who looked like a refugee from a Dickensian orphanage, has proved himself a track star and a whiz in grammar. Mouthy Mary, whose vocabulary would scorch the skull of a sailor, writes tender, lyric poetry. Jeff, whom you put down as a hockey bum in January, who missed three days a week from exhaustion, has emerged, since the ice melted, as one of the most sensitive writers you've ever taught. Alan, the belligerent guy you tangled with on the first day of school, and the second, and the fourth, and the eighth, a Several residents of the home will be celebrating their birthdays in the month of July : Mrs. Montieth on Juls,,, 3, George, Aaltonen, July 5, Jean Harding, July 6, Louise Mitchell, July 9, 'Bernice Howes and Clara Featherston, July, 10, Hiram French, July 22.

You are buddies. Cynthia, one of the few familiar faces last September, because you had taught her the year before, hasn't changed at all. She's just as sweet and lovable and full of fun as always, and you think of her almost as a daughter. And Joe, the other familiar face last September, because you had also taught him the year before, hasn't change a bit either-He's just as slippery, conniving, lazy and genial as always, and while you might despair .of him, you've grown to accept him, as you would a member of your family with the same faults. It's the same every year. You start out with caterpillars, and if you are patient and tolerant and allow people to find their way out of their cocoons, you wind up with •butterflies, some gray and dull, other brilliant and many-hued, but all of them fluttering with life. And you keep track of your butterflies, as best you can. Here's a doctor who didn't know a dangling participle from a ruptured appendix when you were trying to teach him Shakespeare, 10 years ago. And there's a university professor, one of the swift, eager minds you touched on her way through the system. John has become an artist, and is going to marry Trish, and you think it's a great match and hope the best for them, because you knew them away back then, when they were kids. And another John and a Bill are journalists, and Betty is a fine nurse, and Florence is going to be a lawyer, and Mike takes off your storm windows and Betty works in the travel agency and gives you the best of service and Pete isrgoing to take' you fishing to a special trout stream as soon as school is out and Rosemary has had four babies, every one a beauty. It's like pulling teeth to make them admit it, but most teachers become pretty fond of most of their students over the course of a year. A few of them, of course, only a mother could love. I can think of no fate more horrible than being a teacher who doesn't like kids, and no better fife than for one who does. of the residents on Monday afternoon to the Riverview Park in Exeter.
