Lucan twins'
to become teachers
There's nothing quite as re-
laxed and indolent as the We
pf a •school teacher in those two
long, golden moaths of summer.
Eight glorious weeks; A little
golf, a little swimming, a'little
fishing; a lot of picnics and cook
outs and long, cold drinks; un-
limited time to read end girls
in shorts to ogle.
It's a picture I paint for my-
self in clear outlines, in cool
pastel shades, every June. But
somehow the finished canvas
isn't quite what I had in mind.
The outline blurs, the colors
change into violent reds, yel-
lows and purples, and we come
up with something resembling
a drunken rainbow that has been
struck by lightning.
This summer has been no
exception. It started off in typ-
ical fashion with a racking dpse
of food poisoning that left me
about as hearty as a lady of
80 who has just given birth to
quadruplets. I was so weak that
the cat, who has been watching
her chance for years, stuck out
a foot as I was tottering toward
my lawn chair, and tripped the
flat on my face.
Barely over this, I had to
drive the family '700 miles into
the U.S. on the July 4th week
end, to dump young Hugh at a
summer music school. But it
wasn't the mileage that got
me down. It was the list of in-
structions issued to the kid by
his mother. If they'd been writ-
ten out, they'd have covered a
sheet of paper for every mile
we travelled, and they could
have been remembered only by
a. herd.of elephants.
* *
I didn't blame her, though.
It isn't that the kid is stupid.
It's just that he's a teen-ager
and lives in that peculiar world
inhabited by that peculiar spe-
cies. In the week before we left,

machine). That was an average
Imagine going away and lea.v-
int that gormless gawk of a boy
on his own, for three weeks,
with 10 different places to be
at definite times every day;
with money to handle all by
himself; with nobody to find
all the things he'll lose; and
with his way to find all the
way home by bus.
We weren't much comfort-
ed as we left him, He climbed
out of the car, saying, "Yes,
O.K. I won't forget. Uh-hugh.
Right. Yup.", as a last-minute
torrent of verbal directions
poured at him. He took his bag,
waved, and started up the steps
of the boarding-house next door
to the one we had just register-
ed him in. I doubt if we'll ever
see the boy again. He'll start
for home and wind up in Tibet.
Got home from that jaunt
just long enough to do the wash-
ing, repack the suitcases and

2195 YONGE STREET, TORONTO 7, ONTARIO
Anglican
Mr. Richard Boaz, student at
Huron College, took the 11 o'-
clock service. Flowers in the
church were in memory of the
late John Smibert.
Among the successful stu-
dents at London Tea.cher's Col-
lege this year were 19-year-old
Judy Haskett and Ilene Donald-
son, known at the college as
"The Lucan Twins", as they
were always together.
Judy, the daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Calvin Haskett of Alice
St.,,was born in London but at
the age of three moved to Win-
nipeg.
Ilene, daughter of Mrs. Har-
old Cobleigh (of the Lucan PS
staff) and the late Mr. Bert
Donaldson, was born in Sas-
katchewan.
These girls were apparently
destined to meet. In 1949 Ilene
moved to Lucan and in 1953 Judy
followed. From Grade five to
eight they were in the same
class, each striving to stand
first. With the exception of
grade 9, it so happened, they
were assigned to the same room
all through Medway.
Judy was a members of the
Anglican junior choir and Ilene
of the United but both, now sing
in the senior choirs.
Ilene is a soloist at church
and social functions. She was
also a counsellor for the Lu-
can-Clandeboye Explorers and
a Junior Counsellor at Kee-
4
JUDY
Mo-Kee camp,
Judy took ballet lessons for
five years and received her
grade eight certificate with ho-
nors. She also took tap dancing
for 10 years, and for seven
years taught tap and jazz to 20
or more little people. She was
also a teacher for two years,
in the Nursery Dept. of Holy
Trinity Sunday School.
In June both these clever
girls were assigned positions
on the London PS staff. Though
Judy will be teaching Grades 4-
5 at the C. C. Carrothers School
and Ilene, kindergarten in the
Roosevelt. School, no doubt they
will still see much of each other
in the years to come.
For the past two summers,
Judy has been an employee of
the Manufacturers Life Insur-
ance Co., of Toronto.
This summer Ilene has been
taking a course in Primary
Methods in London.
Renovating
Legion hall
The members of the Lucan
branch of the Royal Canadian
Legion and Auxiliary, are jus-
tified in being very proud of
the renovations being done at
the Legion Hall by the ground's
committee, headed by Mr. Jim
Freeman, A five foot cement
walk 220 feet long, has been
completed from the hall to Mar-
ket pt. and a 15 foot gravel
drive now connects Duchess and
Market Sts,, with aparking area
for 40 to 50 cars. Most of the
work has been done by volunteer
labor.
The committee hopes to have
the bowling lawn levelled and
reseeded and some landscaping
started before Sept. 1.
Inside the building, Mr. Ro-
bert Holland, chairman for the
interior, has had a trophy wall
erected on which the plaques
donated recently by Mr. Ber-
nard Avery to the Legion and
Auxiliary are now hanging,
