This past year the Huron Centennial
Senior Choir was conducted by B. Cooper
and pianist C. LeBeau. There were 65
people enrolled, The choir participated in
the Christmas assembly at Huron Centen-
nial School, the Spring Concert at the schgpl
and Variety Night in Clinton, for 'the
Tuckersmith Sesquicentennial. They also
helped with the new tape "0'• Canada".
Mrs. LeBeau has accompanied choirs for
25 years. Besides, the Senior choir she also
directed the Junior choir. She enjoyed
running two choirs. Her favorite song from
the junior choir was "Run for the Roses. " In
the senior, her favorite was "Touch the
Wind."
Mrs. Cooper, conductor, believed the
choir was a great success.' She enjoyed
entering the choir in different events. She
directed a choir for 11 yrs. She believes the
choir sings a song better if it is meaningful
to the children. Out of 10 people the favorite
song was "Touch the Wind." All the kids
presently in the senior choir would rather be
in choir than in other dubs.
JUNIORCHOIR
The junior choir, conducted and arranged
by C. LeBeau, participated in the Christmas
assembly at the school, the new tape of 0'
Canada and the Talent Show. The most
popular songs were, in order of popularity,
Rockin' Robin, Run to the Roses, Apple
Red Happiness and Tears are not Enough.
Both of these choirs have had a successful
year.
A few weeks ago COnstable John
Marshall visited the Grade 8 ',classroom to
speak about drugs. Mr. Marshall gave
every student a/booklet called "Stay Real"
containing information about marijuana
and hashish.
Grandparents - the jolly, good-humored
oldtimers holding the ancient gifts of
serenity and sincerity. At least that's the
picture portrayed by the media (television,
newspaper, etc. ). The following articles
written by grade students bring forth the
diverse characterizations and analyze these
intensely - their sorrow, their hope, their
tomorrow.
