Lighthouse, the big 12-piece rock band that has been doing some of the most unusual things in music will come to Central Huron Secondary School for a 9 p.m. dance on that date. The Toronto-based group has, in its two-year existence, been one of the most revolutionary and at the same time "establishment" bands. They have been revolutionary in their approach to rock music but have won the hearts of many in the "establishment set" through their work with symphonies and ballet companies in Canada. Their background ranges all the way from the Monterey Jazz Festival, to the Atlantic City Pop Festival, to the rock festival last summer on the Isle of Wight, to the highly-praised experiment when they teamed up with the Royal Winnipeg Ballet last year for "Ballet High." The latter venture played for two weeks in Toronto at the O'Keefe Centre to raves of critics and full houses. Last April the group also packed Massey Hall when they combined with the 90-piece Toronto Symphony to shake the rafters of the ancient concert hall. The group was formed in Toronto two years ago as a result of a series of meetings between Skip Prokop, formerly of the Paupers and Paul Hoffert who had been working on commercials for radio and television. The two decided they wanted a change, put together some arrangements and assembled 11 other musicians (one has since departed) to cut a demonstration record. It's been onward and upward ever since. During their first year they travelled widely, particularly ih the (ilted States and last year ranged even farther, to Expo 70 in Japan where they performed at the Canadian Pavilion mid to Britain but came home to play in Nathan Phillip's Square at Toronto city hall in. front of 40,000 persons. The band has an unusual How about tomorrow?

They have the usual rhythm section, a top drummer (Prokop), organ and piano player (Hoffert) but they also have a brass and -ax section which is unusual and a stringed section which is unique. The result of the big band can nearly blast off the roof or can play as softly as a whisper, and the group uses the full range. The visit of the band to Clinton actually came about because of a mixup in arrangements. Another. band had been signed originally to appear that night but had to cancel because of a conflict with a recording date. The booking agency more than made up for the accident by offering the Continued from Page 4. As one who was driving concession roads at the time I might point out that it closed in so quickly that I could hardly believe what was happening. Familiar roads became an unknown world of snow. Out of these conditions came an increase in stature of the staff members of the Huron County Board of Education. I would like it made very clear that these pupils and teachers were not used as pawns in a game to collect per diem grants for the Board of Education, Per diem grants as such have not been paid for three years now, Grants are based on enrolment partly for this very reason so schools in snow belt areas would not suffer due to lack of attendance, Everyone would certainly have sooner had these pupils safe in their homes, However, the decision to have them remain in the schools or billetteci in homes was made in preference to having them stranded in buses on clogged concession roads. That decision has never been regretted, The Huron County Board of Education wishes to commend every member of our administration, teaching and not-teaching staff Who were involved for the excellent, unselfish manner in which they organized and performed beyond the cell of duty.. I am afraid to single out any members I for individual attention for fear of missing someone but I sincerely believe that each, in his or her own Way performed more Lighthouse at considerably less than their going rate. Even so, the students will be all out to make the evening profitable. The allowable limit under fire regulations for the auditorium at the school is 1,000 persons. It will have to be nearly jammed to pay the costs of the band and incidentals. Prices have been held down remarkably in view of the stature of the group. Advance tickets are on sale at CHSS and high schools in Goderich, Exeter and Seaforth for only $2, The price at the door is $2.25, So the economics of the situation become a little touchy, but then for such an opportunity what would a small loss mean? admirably than can ever be fully recognized with words. Our board office administration were on duty night and day throughout the entire storm and offered moral support and encouragement to the principals and staffs in the schools by maintaining regular contact with them. Certainly the most critical outsiders could find small errors in judgment to try and condemn the actions of those forced to make decisions under tense circumstances of responsibility, but as a parent I am well satisfied with the way the situation was handled. As chairman, l feel all our staff members should know the feeling of pride the board has in every member who helped to avert tragedy in a serious situation, It is the boatel's feeling that a framed citation should be placed in each school citing the names and actions of the staff of such school for a job well done. Until this Can be done, may I say on behalf of the board, those Words which are on the lips of practically every parent Whose children were cared for, a sincere "Thank You". An ad of appreciation has alteady been plated in the local papers thanking all others who assisted in this time of need. May I reiterate to those also a heartfelt "Thank You". Yours sincerely, Robert M. Elliott per M. Coulter Chairman, Huron County Board of Education Guide and Brownie Report BY CHERYL JEFFERSON We started the meeting by Making sit-upons with newspaper — for campfire we used these mats. Mary Cantelon served rolls which she had made for her Baker's Badge. Sandra Popp and Mary Cantelon did a skit. Melodie Howse and Julie l3artliff had songs. Mary Anne Klaver said the promise during the singing of taps to finish our meeting. THE BROWNIES Some of the Brownies made octopi at Brownies. Some Brownies went with Mrs. Wonfor to do semaphore and the Tweenies went with Tawny Owl to learn their prayer, motto and things like that.
