Their names are . Gary Douglas, Marlin Good, Ben Schuitema, and Pat Burbidge. These people seem to enjoy writing this column very much and hope you enjoy reading it during the year. Ben Schuitema First Day of School Well, it's that time again. Every little boy and girl is going t.o school. Most kids will be going .t grade higher, (that's if they ?assed). There are 555 students going to Howick central School in the 1975/76 school year. This record is one less than last year.

Mrs. Doubleday is teaching Kindergarten h alf time. Mrs. MacRae is teaching grades 1 and 2. She is replacing Mrs. Stobo. Mrs. H ooftman is replacing Mrs. Carter in grades 6 and 7. Miss Amos is replaced by Mr. Raynard `in the 7 and 8 Science class Mr.Reid is teaching the Senior Academic Vocational Class that Mr. Carter taught last' year.' Kindergarten The 1975-76 school year has a fairly large Kindergarten enrolment which is 62. The children enjoy listening to Sesame records and doing what the records do. The children are learning many new words such as size, colour and shape. The available. Particulars concerning fees, courses and registration procedures will be advertised in a future issue of the Post. SINIIIII••••••• teachers who devote their time and patience are Mrs. Doubleday and Mrs. Underwood. The children like doing many activities but the most popular activities are playing outdoors and playing with toys. The parents of these children should be proud because some of the children are very good painters. Patricia Burbidge Rotary in Intermediate The grade 7 and 8's are having more rotary classes this year. They have their homeroom teacher for Math and English and then other teachers for different subjects. This is done to cover more adequately all the subject areas.. It is difficult for one teacher to be sufficiently knowledgeable and interested in and about all areas of the curriculum. We have Mrs. Kirkby teaching History, Mr. Cober teaching Art and Guidance, Mr. Doubleday teaching Geography and Mr. Raynard teaching Science. French is still taught by Mr. Fisher and Music by Mr. parsons. This will also give the students the variety of working with more teachers. Get Acquainted Night On September 16th, Howick Central School is having a "Get. Acquainted Night". This will be held from 7:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. During this time, we hope parents will be able to get acquainted with their child's teachers. Hopefully this night will turn out as good as last year's. So if you want to know your child's teacher come on September 16th. Marlin Good Early Closing on, Election Day On September 18th Howick. Central School students will be getting' dismissed at 2:25 p.m. This early dismissal is due to the Provincial Election.This is because of the Canada Election Act, that states all buses must leave the schools one hour ahead of time to give everyone a set number of hours in which to vote. Gary Douglas The Gerbills •Return Do you remember Room 14's friends? Clyde and Bonnie have returned to our room from their summer vacation. The playful little gerbils are always scurrying around and playing. We want to thank Jill and Janet Strong, Mrs. Strong, and Louise Douglas for looking after Clyde and Bonnie over the summer vacation. Mrs. Kirkby could not take them to her place because of two hungry cats who would have eaten the two little gerbils. Come to Room 14 to see these furry little mascots of ours. Again this year Mr. Livermore has chosen 20 students to act on the Sports Club. The Sports Clu b is in charge of all the House League games and all gym equipment. The Sports Club is very well organized and we hope they will keep track of each classroom's playground equipment through regular checks made each month. Gary Douglas Bus Patrol Rules On one of the first school days of September Mr. Robertson had a meeting of the bus drivers and bus patrols. At this meeting the drivers and patrols were given a sheet consisting of ten bus rules which were well discussed. The • patrols and drivers were deeply disappointed to discover that we were discontinuing our system of village Bus Patrols.

As a result, village bus patrols were banned. There are still bus patrols, but these students stay on the bus and keep the children orderly. Business Directory
