S., 527.1720- WALKERTON 203 DURHAM E., 8814/122 By SARAHMcCI-1)RE It is important that our school takes part in writing a few paragraphs in the T-A bi-weekly or perhaps monthly, This school report should in- volve sports, field trips, cam- paigns, and other school ac- tivities. Parents are interested in knowing what their child's school is doing, It's nice to hear your name listed in the paper for various reasons. Our school should have a column in the Exeter-Times Advocate, BY SUSAN McCLURE Why I think our school should have a newspaper column? I think a school newspaper write-up is a good thing because ROAD REPORTS The Ministry of Transportation and Communications has an- nounced that its Winter Road Reporting Service for the public went into operation on November 7.

It also helps the students know of game scores, coming events, etc. I'm sure students from other schools like to hear what we're doing compared to themselves. High school students previously from Stephen, might like to know what changes the old school has suffered through. I'm proud to know that be helping tell the world what's happening at Stephen. By JAMES WARD School activities have started at Stephen Central. During the past month the students have been involved in quite a few things. We began the school year with an open house. Parents were free to view the new texts and meet the teachers. A new team mascot was picked. We are now the Stephen Tigers. Stephen took an active part in the fall fair. Many students had exhibits in the fair and our float won first prize in the parade. Grade seven students did an extensive study on the Crediton Cemetery while grade five studied dinosaurs. The grade eight students were very busy in September preparing for their trip to Camp Sylvan. While there they studied astronomy, forestry, orien- teering, soils, fossils and the history of Sylvan. Everyone enjoyed the trip. By TODD CASE and VICTOR REMPEL ' The week of October 17 was Boy's houseleague floor hockey. Blue team scorers were Trevor Boyle, Dean Watt, and Mike Webb. The only Black goal was scored by Wayne Rumball. The most exciting game of the week was when the Reds met the Blues. It was a battle to a 2-2 tie. Player of the week was the Blues goalie, Peter Dearing. One of the many satisfactions we derive from our location in the McCurdy School is the oppor- tunity to participate in the varied activities of the school. Again this year our pupils joined with the classes from grades 1 to 5 for a Hallowe'en party in the gym- nasium. The student council organized the different contests which in- ,cluded relay races, apple bob- bing and measuring the width of a smile, All the students wore costumes either brought from home or salvaged from our box of clothing at school. Larry won a prize for his category com- peting with other students dress- ed as witches. Donations of pumpkins from Mrs. Dinney, Mrs. Hodgins and Mr. Dietrich added to both the classroom and hallway displays. Our Hallowe'en festivities con- cluded with a small party of jello and cookies which the pupils had prepared themselves. The students from South Huron District High School who are members of Y.A.C.M.R. (Youth Across Canada with the Mentally Retarded) had sent notices home with the children inviting them to go out Trick or Treating on Monday evening. Several of the children went with the students and we thank this group for their interest. Five of our six swimming lessons for the fall term have concluded and we have been most appreciative of the help given to us by our faithful volunteers, Mrs. Klungel, Mrs. Verbeek and Mrs. Lovell, All of the children have shown im- provement since lessons first began and we expect to have another series of six lessons again in the spring. With the conclusion of swim- ming for this season it is again time to organize both the bowling and skating programs. Notices about these activities will be sent home shortly. The purpose of these three recreation skills is to provide our students with leisure skills so that they may par- ticipate with the family and friends in community activities. We hope that parents will con- tinue to provide opportunities for their children to practise these skills after school and on Our program has been enrich- ed by the addition of two more volunteers this fall. Mrs. Koehler who is often called in to give us additional Teachers' Aid time when needed, has also been coming in as a volunteer once a week to give three of our girls in- structions on the use of our new sewing machine, They have com- pleted hemming three tea towels which were then donated to the staff room of 'the McCurdy School. Another volunteer from Huron Park, Mrs. Boyle has been com- ing in each day for an hour to assist Mrs. MacGregor in her classroom. She has been able to give the individual help needed for such skills as liquid em- broidery apd typing as well as overseeing much of the daily work needed. Two of our pupils are in residence in London at C.P,R.I. Tom is living in Cottage 21 and at last report was well enough to at- tend school for an hour each afternoon. Leslie has begun a program with Dr. Dieter Blindert in the Behaviour Modification Clinic at C.P.R.I. Our pupils often ask about these children and look forward to their return. The Huronview Orchestra provided, the old tyme music Monday afternoon and Nelson Lear led the sing-a-long. Rev. William Bennett of the Our school received $10.00 from the Exeter Fair Board for our participation in the Exeter Fair this year. We are so pleased to be included in the list of par- ticipants and since each child had contributed something on 'the display the money was dis- tributed equally among the students, Several of our students are joining with other classes for certain activities during the week. Eloise goes to the gym for physical education with Mrs. Driedger's Grade 4 class. Mary Lou joins Mrs. Mills' Grade 1-2 class for story time and music. Becky is spending up to two hours a day in Mrs. Mills' room for several subjects. All of our pupils have Library privileges twice a week with Mrs. McCann who prepares a lesson for each group. We were also very pleas- ed to have a new member of the McCurdy staff, Mr. Fraser, come to our room and play the piano for a rousing sing song for us. All of the staff members of the McCurdy School have shown an interest and a continuing willingness to be involved with our pupils. We appreciate shar- ing in the life of this school. Jimmy will be leaving us this 'iBayfield Middleton Anglican Church conducted the monthly Communion Service in the Chapel and Mrs. Myrtle Parker was the organist. Earl and Martha Heywood, Wingham entertained on family night with a program of music and magic. The Heywoods have many personal friends in the home from Exeter, Zurich and Wingham and all of the residents have been very loyal fans of theirs in the several years on CKNX Radio and now on televi- sion and stereo.

On the most recent Professional Activity Day, the Huron Hope Staff had the oppor- tunity to spend several hours at each of two facilities in Huron County. The morning was spent at the Bluewater Centre where we were able to tour the building and see some of the programs in operation. The afternoon was spent at the Huron Centre for Children and Youth, in Clinton which offers counselling services to families experiencing problems. Both these tours were informative and offered insight in to some, of the services that are provided in the county, / I L. MIMI* .1 01 1 HURON SANITATION CAN OFFER YOU COMPLETE 24 HR.
