Mrs, Ross McPhail read a couple of poems. "The First Spring Day" and "The Wind" from the old Ontario Readers and everyone answered the roll call by naming a "vanished landmark."

Brian O'Dell and Janet' Crandall of the Covenant Players very quickly had the group feeling glad they were attending. Janelle, through games, demonstrated to the teachers how they often believe they communicate while in reality often fail miserably to meet their goal, Brian took charge of the eager younger generation and shortly before lunch demonstrated how drama can be worked in with even such a large group of children of all ages. The children presented an engaging per- formance of the Lost Sheep for the adult audience. Following a box lunch the adults engaged in more learning techniques to communicate the gospel while the children focused on nature sculptures and drama improvisons, and tableaus. It proved an inspiring and meaningful day for many and as Jim Pedersen of Carlisle com- mented, "this proves Sunday Schools are far from dead".

This year's convention was held at the Poplar Hills Baptist Church, and took a bit of a change in format when the children in each of the participating Sunday Schools were invited to attend along with the teachers.

The SX-535 utilizes the same amplifier design philosophies as do its bigger Pioneer brothers, providing more than enough clear, undistorted power for the speakers. The SX-535's sensitive FM tuner section shares the same cir- cuitry of some more expen- sive Pioneer receivers, in- suring crisp, clear reception without hum or noise, To match the value of the Altec Mini-Monitors and the Pioneer SX-535, we The Altec 887-A loudspeaker is betterknown as the Altec Mini-Monitor Two.
