Often it's the weather that is more chal- lenging than the course it• self. It is often fun to try your skills in a variety of weather conditions. Howes er. one type of weather definitely- doesn't mix with golf. and that is thunderstorms! We are in thunderstorm season now . and those large thunderclouds "can build up in no time. If you're out on the golf course you may find yourself in a dangerous sit• uation. Golfers are very often victims of the awesome power of lightning bolts. Three well known golfers who haVe had first hand experience with lightning are, Bobby Nichols, Jerry Heard and Lee Trevino. Needless to say. each has developed a great respect for this super charge of electricity. In June 1975. at a tournament in Illinois, Nichols was stunned when a lightning bolt struck nearby. Trevino and Heard who had seen this from another hole, took shelter under an umbrella. Light- ning struck a nearby pond, travelled through the- ground and up Trevino's putter, which he was leaning oil. The force knocked'-both' men to the ground. All three golfers were rusOd tobospital and fortunately they only suffer- ed from minor burets. Lightning is a serious mat- ter and many golfers are Wed or injured each year by these highly ctifged bolts from • the sky. Golfers are encouraged to keep an eye out for impending storms and discontinue play when there is a danger from light- ning. We all know that golfers are like the proverbial mailman..no weather . can keep them back, but even in ` AWAIT AT THE PLATE—Donny Brown is ready to take a cut here in minor baseball action at Optimists' Park on the weekend.

The dictionary meaning of competition is "a match or trial of ability:" It is interest• ing to note how one word can be defined in a few words, yet there are so many other personal definitions which can be applied. • From early childhood, we are involved in competitions,. Competition makes us grow because it forces us to perform to the best of our ability. If we are competing, a goal is set which we try to achieve. Elementary schools have. coMpetitions in different areas of education.. Last week's column was about field day at SPS- the big sports corepetitiOn which young athletes prepare for during the year. When com- peting against their class- mates they set goals for themselves. If there is keen competitiOn in a particular event, the athletes are forced to perform their best. Last Tuesday, the field competition moved front the individual schools to an area meet where six different schools brought their best athletes to challenge each other. To be able to go to this -meet- -is aft achievement' because only the top few from each event can go. When there, they compete for themselves, and for their _school. quality mg roue,.. ••st-t "" Friday after school Well sou should all be pleaseJ to know that they did our club well Greg won, , the tournament and Rob came 3rd.

"It's also a good feeling when a student who is in only one event volun- teers to do odd jobs that need to be done- recording scores. taking, handing out ribbons." BUSY, TIRING DAY Mrs. ' Reynolds was pleased with the day, and said, "it was a very busy, tiring day for all." The students were pleased. and she said that they had a "sense of achievement at being able to compete A- gainst the best from other area schools.' The school competition was run on a points system, with a first place receiving 10 points and sixthplagereceiv- ing onepoint'. 'ReVause of the points system not necessary to have all firsts to win a championship,"Mrs. Reynolds said. Some of the Seaforth Pub- lic students who did well were. Andy Ball. third in the Midget boys, Elizabeth Boven, third, Midget girls. David Akey, third Junior boys, Heidi Moser. third, Intermediate girls and Ron Vereruyssen.- second. Inter= mediate boys. These results are overall placement. Another elementary com- petition deserving mention is the Huron-Perth baseball finals to which both the boys' and, girls' teams from St. James •went. They ,qualified to go by winning their zone tournament. ALL PLAYED WELL Joe Blythe. coach for both teams, said that they played well last Wednesday at the tournament and both quali- fied for third place. He was pleased with the results and reported that the players were also. However, as in most good competitions, they were against the best teams in the system. and were a bit disappointed they didn't 'Ott better. . "I think that they realize there§ strong competition outside Seaforth," said Mr. Blythe Part of being an ' school and the 1st and 2nd winners from 9 and up went to Seaforth High School on June 2/81. This was the same with the 5, other schools. The events at Sea- forth were the same as the ones at the home school. The Blyth, school won 'the track meet by about 30 points while the Clinton Public School defeated Mullett by 2 points. These statistics are not final. Our school did very well especially in the track events. It was a very success- ful day overall and the stu- dents and teachers enjoyed themselves STORYBOOK GARDENS On.

May 29, there was an awards assem- bly at Hullett. Among the awards were band, junior and senior choirs, field day 'awards given to the pupils going to the area field day at Seaforth. Another award was for the monitors who had been retrieving balls from the roof and raising and lowering the school's flag during the school year. Other sports awards went to the boys and girls soccer and volleyball teams. Captains of ball and floor hockey teams also re- ceived bars for the winning teams. Library helpers and the audio visual people re- ceived bars for their work. Our own newspaper crew also received recognition., People who went beyond the` school with speeches re- ceived bars, too. This year the school gave a special award for speeches; a Hullett Central Crest went to Lisa Bosman for winning beyond our own school level. After the assembly. pic- tures were taken of the school teams and other groups. There will be a chance 'for people to buy those pictures before the end of June. PLAY DAY While some of the pupils from Hullett went to Seaforth to compete against other schools, the majority re- mained at the school for other play day activities. The activities began at 12:50. The day consisted of 9 activities with Darlene. Hulley's team emerging as champions. Every week more and more people discover what mighty jobs are accom- plished by low cost Huron Expositor Want Ads.

The six schools which competed' were Blyth, Hullett Clinton, Huron Cen- tennial, Seaford" Public Schools, and Clinton Christ- ian School. I noticed that although there was strong school spirit among the par- ticipants, everyone was en- joying themselves and Meet- ing one another.' Mrs. Reynolds said the meet "is an event that most children look forward to all year." The students enjoy the day, especially since it means a ' day off school, reported one youngster. Although the students are trying their best, they are not too upset if they don't win because they can be proud that they made it to the area meet. "It's a good feeling whet" students; -try their-best- and are pleased even when they don't win." said Mrs. Reynolds. She was also pleased with the number of students who helped the athlete is losing against a good team, recognizing its strength, and resolving to practise for the next game to become stronger. The St. James team did well to go to the finals and place third. and they deserve applause. The Separate School Board is holding the zone track and field meet at. St. columban June 15°. The system finals will be held in Exeter June 22. • The school system has done much for promoting competitiveness in children by sponsoring such events as field days and ball tourna- ments.
