Other people think this is ex- tremely foolish, "What good will a bunch of pictures do you if you have no clothes to wear, or no chair to sit on?" they ask. From a very pragmatic viewpoint, I suppose this is logical. And yet I can't help but think that as much as anyone hates to 'lose possessions by fire or any other natural cause, things such as clothes and chairs are replaceable. Pictures and the associated memories they hold for people can never be replaced. They are invaluable. Not that I would encourage anyone to live com- pletely in the past, but if you don't have any past memories, on what can you base your hopes for the future? However, so much for the philosophizing. As I mentioned, some readers will consider it pure drivel anyway and others, I hope, will agree with me. My family, especially Mom and I are really sentimental when it comes to pictures, She has several books of photographs from the time she was a little girl. I placed myself in the role of gathering all the pictures from when my brother and sister and I were small, Once in a while we will dig them all out and just sit there and laugh at the way we looked. My brother usually tries to have bit of fun at the expense of my sister and I by informing us that he was the prettiest baby, and Jane usually rises admirable to the bait. She will them turn around to me and ask why there are so many pictures of me (I am the oldest) and so few of her and Jim. Often about this point Mom or Dad will interrupt before the teasing gets carried away. Most of the pictures we have at home are relatively candid shots, as is probably the case in most homes. But about a year ago, my mother got it into her head that she would like a more formal- type family portrait taken. This elicited groans from the rest of the family, most whom of are at least slightly camera shy. But she Was not to be' deterred, and • .from time-to-time would keep bringing up the subject, One way or another, we managed to put it off and then came the time of their 25th wedding anniversary in August. Mom thought this would be a perfect time, and that a family picture would be an appropriate way of recording the event. Again, however, there just seemed to so much going on during that week, that we somehow just never got around to it. Finally last winter, without telling anyone except Dad, Mom just went ahead and arranged for the pictures. She knew we were all going to be home on this particular weekend, and that we would be at least somewhat representable because we were invited to a wedding the same day. But she was disappointed again. Just a few hours before the long-awaited event, my brother was informed that he had to work at the local ski-resort. There was no way he could get out of it so the appointment had to be cancelled. We finally realized just how much this meant, so we took it upon ourselves to arrange for the family pictures. I asked a friend if he would come to Mansfield to do the honors and that was that. If there is one thing my family is not, it is not "high society". Blue jeans and cut-offs are the order of the day and "dressing for dinner" is something that happens only in the movies. So you can imagine his con- sternation when the photographer walked into the house to see us dressed in our everyday grub-type clothes. This is not the way Mom wanted to see us in the family portrait. The fact is that we were eating supper first, and didn't trust ourselves not to spill ketchup or gravy on what would have been our "dress-up" clothes. After supper, though, Cin- derella's fairy godmother Huronview news Dick Roorda led the Clinton Christian Reformed song service Sunday with members of the congregation forming a choir for the singing of some of the residents' favorite hymns. About 150 residents and guests attended the Huron Centennial School Junior Talent Program in the auditorium Monday. The principal, Mr, Mathers, was master of ceremonies for the afternoon with Mrs. Carol LeBeau, junior musical in- structor, as piano accompanist. Almost 68 students took part in the program consisting of a vocal quintet, two vocal quartets, four vocal trios, two vocal duets, three piano solos, Hawaiian and step dances, trumpet, accordion, organ and jew's harp in- strumental solos. Fifty students formed a choir and sang several numbers to conclude an afternoon of fine musical talent. Wilson Arm- strong expressed the ap- preciation of the residents and was honored by the choir singing Happy Birthday on the occasion of his 92nd birthday. Mrs. Shirley Wheeler, Brussels arranged and introduced the variety program for family night, Two groups of young people from Brussels who have formed bands took part in the program. Teen- agers Dale Wheeler, Murray Cardiff and John Elliott are known as the Band and the Ding- A-Ling members include Julie McCall, Michelle McCutcheon, Susan Langlois and Carol Wheeler. Sandra Morrison and twin sisters Heather and Connie Strike performed baton numbers with piano solos by Vickey and Linda Machon. Mary Lynn Glew joined members of the Ding-A-Ling band for Scottish and step dance numbers. One of residents, Mrs. Gertie Jacklin, who is a great grandmother of several of the entertainers, thanked those taking part in the program. The regular family night program for June 7, has been changed to the afternoon as Usborne Central School is paying their annual visit to the home at 1:30 p.m. ••stMs4itte., WieerOkt' • couldn't have been prouder if she had done the job herself, We exited to various bedrooms and voila! Mom came out first in a striking black and white formal and Dad followed shortly behind, complementing her in his pin- stripe suit. My sister emerged with a pretty navy and white dress, but the most startling transformation took place in my brother. From frayed cut-offs and a sweat shirt, he came out with smart plaid bag pants, a new navy blazer and the spiffiest big bow tie you have ever seen, Cinderella didn't have anything on this prince charming. After that, the actual picture taking was almost anti-climactic. But undoubtedly the funniest part of the whole episode was watching the reactions of my family and hearing their com- ments when they finally saw the finished products, All of a sudden, everyone became very modest. Since most of the pictures turned out fairly well, I assume that their modesty was more put-on than real. There were two extremely good pictures, one of my parents alone, and one of my sister. "It's good of your father, but not of me," said Mom. "I look like I'm all teeth," said my sister, And my brother, who, I men- tioned, looked very sharp that day, didn't think any of the pictures did him justice. Dad just said, "Oh, I'm laughing too much in them all." However, beneath all the comments there lay a sort of secret smile that slipped through once in a while, and said in effect, "Well, I don't think they're really that bad. In fact, they are pretty good". So on the whole, I would say our picture-taking binge turned out very well, But it could be a while before we tackle anything quite as ambitious again.

However, I found the answer for me was a program offered by Conestoga College, called, "General Arts and Science," — a sort of "breathing space," that helped me become oriented. Won't you join me? I would like information on this full- time program designed for high school graduates or equivalent.
