Children get dance instruction

CONTINUING WOW
Children love to dance and
there are many ways to get
them interested in the various
kinds of dances.
Last Thursday afternoon, the
Grade .5 and 6 class from St.
Joseph's School, Clinton, had
this rhythmic experience at
Vanastra's spacious gym-
nasium. John McCarroll,
Physical Education Consultant
for the Huron-Perth Catholic
Schools and the classroom
teacher, Mrs. Frances Craig,
shared this experience with
them,
Bach child began with a
warm up which featured mar-
ching music. This approach of a
known and stimulating sound
gave the pupils the confidence
in this familiar beat. They
jogged, arm waved, clapped,
stamped, and kept time with
many parts of their bodies.
Following this exercise, they
were introduced to a catching
tune called "Alley Cat" which
involved more definite pat-
terns. Here again, they picked
up the beat and a definite
rhythm was established.
The concluding folk dance
entitled "Greensleeves" in-
volved many variations. Mrs,
Frances Craig spent some time
in going over the walk throughs
and eventually reached a skip-
ping stage to a sequence of
movements.
Mr. McCarroll added the
music and the children respon-
ded well to the piece - Green-
sleeves. Meanwhile, the Grade
7 and 8 pupils watched and
clapped out the beat with their
teacher, Mrs. Margaret
Barkley.
One youngster leaving to get
on the bus to return to the
school was heard to say "Gee, I
can dance!"
What is to become of the
recreation facilities now lying
dormant at Vanastra (the for-
mer Canadian Forces Base at
Clinton) has been the topic of
some discussion recently
climaxing with a ,tour of the
complex by Rene Brunelle,
Minister of Social and Com-
munity Services.
Meanwhile the Huron-Perth
Roman Catholic Separate
School Physical Education
Consultant John McCarroll has
found the Training Centre on
the old base of great use to the
R.C.S.S. in Clinton, St. Joseph.
The school has no gym-
nasium of its own so the
students from grades five, six,
seven and eight with their
teachers Mrs.. Frances Craig
and Mrs. Margaret Bankley
found themselves with more
than ample space to carry on
simultaneously two classes of
physical education.
The grades five and six had a
lesson in creative movements
which stressed body awareness
to move not only in various
directions, ,varieties of levels
and at cliande bf Speed
.
s. "in-
dividuality is also a paramount
concern as the children differ in
size and ability." Mr.
On Monday, November 27, a
new supply of soccer balls and
footballs arrived at the school.
Along with them came two new
bags, for storing balls. More
supplies are hoped for, but we
will use what we already have.
Some of the new equipment
will be stored away until warm
weather returns.

volleyball skills with lead up
.activities in learning the proper

game.
Later, the junior group was
challenged to climb over under
and between the climbing
equipment using the many
parts of their bodies while the

game of bowling in the eight

equipped recreation centre.

The ladies of the Wesley-
Willis Church were invited to
join with the Magic Circle in
singing carols at the hospital
on Tuesday evening, December
12, prior to their December
meeting. The regular Christmas
meeting was held at the Wesley
Willis manse with 18 members
and four visitors present.
Florence Oliver welcomed
the ladies and the business was
conducted, during which the
ladies signed a petition op-
posing such excessive adver-
tising of liquor and beer on the
TV and radio.
The worship period was
opened by Florence Oliver with
a reading of the origin of the
carol "0 Little Town of
Bethlehem", followed by
prayer by Florence Oliver,
Our worship theme was
Jesus' birth. Rita Dales read
the Shepherd's story and Mary
Murch gave a reading "No
Room" which was a story of
the innkeeper, based on this
carols
scripture. Mary Sutter, accom-
panied by Kay Wise, sang very
beautifully, "0 Holy Night".
Florence Oliver read the bible
story of the wise men and
Marg. Cole read a legend "The
gifts of the Magi". In this story
the gifts were changed to Love,
Joy and Peace. Mary Sutter
sang again.
Florence read "Did you
think" summing up our
thoughts before Christmas and
closed with prayer. "Silent
Night" was sung and the
benediction repeated with
hands joined around the room.
A game was played and an
exchange of gifts took place. A
beautiful tea table, prepared by
Mrs. Mowatt, was presided
over by Helen Davies at the
silver tea and coffee service and
the hostess group, Mrs.
Mowatt, Florence Oliver, Marg
Cole, Rita Dales and Mary
Murch served a delicious
Christmas lunch.
