The Citizen, 1988-02-03, Page 22PAGE 22. THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1988. The circus came to Bly th Public School last week when the grade 5 class the cast dressed in a variety of circus costumes on W ednesday when presented an operetta “Here Comes the Circus Parade.” Members of they presented the play to fellow students, parents and visitors. Distressed woman tells her story Continued from page 5 casually terminate a life without a feeling of loss at least. As a man I still feel the loss of two of ours (and we still talk about it) by miscarri­ age, and that is 30 years ago. Many people who heard and read the appeal of the young lady came to see me, full of compassion and wondered how we could help. I tor one would like to be able to console them and perhaps form a support group. Her letter has already been a tremendous help to a lot of us in and outside our party. As courageous as her decision was to write the letter so much more could be done if more people like her would come forward with their testimony. So many more lives could be saved, empty arms filled and trauma spared. The following is her letter: Mr. Keet, 1 am writing about your stand The circus comes to school SPIRIT DAY On Wednesday of last week, the B.P.S. Students’ Council organiz­ ed a “Hat, Tie and Shades Day.” The participation was excellent. Visitors to our school had puzzled looks on their faces when strange looking people greeted them in the halls. We thank the Students’ Council for inventing an excellent way to boost school spirit and to put some humour into the daily routine. THE CIRCUS COMES TO B.P.S. by Tina Burkholder and Erica Clark On January 28 the grade five class held their assembly. It was an operetta called “Here Comes the Circus Parade. ’ ’ It was about a boy, Billy Watson, who ran away to join the circus. In the end Billy got a job as a clown during Summer Vaca­ tion. Some of the students acting as circus people were clowns, acro­ bats, lion tamers, Harem dancers, bare-back riders, magicians and fortune tellers. There was also a rhythm band and some piano solos. We wish to thank Mrs. S. Vincent for her excellent accom­ paniment. BOARD GAME OLYMPICCS by Stephanie Lentz and John Ramirez In view of the fact that the Olympics will soon be starting, the Grade 5 and 6 at B.P.S. held their own Olympic event. Atthe beginning oftheweek, the students brought in numerous board games. They were given classtime to become familiar with the board games and their rules. On the “Olympic Day” the pupils are allowed to team up with a friend of their choice. In the gymnasium, 11 stations were set up so that the students could play various games such as Battleship, Crokinole and IQ 2,000. These were only some of the games brought in. The teams rotated to another station every 20 minutes. At the end of the period the people with the highest points were awarded gold medallions. The runners up received silver and so on. From this experience, the stu­ dents will now have learned some new games. They will also now make their own board games in the following week.

Ik now because I had one. It is the nextworstthing to this side of hell! Later, I’ve had feelings of guilt, nightmares, and extreme hatred, mostly at myself. No matter how deeply bruised these feelings are, they will always surface. Please continue to tell people about the devastating effects of abortion. It has only been by God’s grace and love that I am able to continue on with a healed life. May God Bless You in Your Stand. Anonymous.
