pizza dough
While most school organizations
are winding down for the year end,
the Music Club at C.H.S.S. is still
going strong.
The first pizza making day was a
huge success with the students and
their parents making 10,000
pizzas. The students are hoping to
better that mark on May 7 (second
pizza making day). Profits from
this venture will help send the
Music Club to Bermuda in April
1989.
In the meantime, extra practices
have been scheduled in prepara
tion for an exchange with Morning
Star H.S. in Mississauga. The
band and the choir along with Mr.
McGregor and Mr. Parr leave this
Thursday, April 14 for Missis
sauga.
The purpose of this exchange is
to visit another school, make new
friends, performwithotherstu-
dents in a massed band and choir,
experience living in other’s homes,
host students in local homes and
visit area industries.
Some of the activities planned
are to participate in a public
concert, tour of Sparr Aerospace,
reception and dance, and shopping
at Woodbine Mall.
Arrival home is scheduled for
Saturday evening, April 16.
On Thursday, April 28, the Morn
ing Star Music Club will return the
visit. While here both Music Clubs
will participate in the Spring Music
Concert, tour the piano factory and
a farm, go bowling and have a

When all these events have been
completed, the music school year
will end with one more pizza

Huron Historical Society
gives $15,000 to Museum
A second $15,000 grant to the
furnishing of the archives room at
the new Huron County Pioneer
Museum was presented to Huron
County Council Thursday by the
Huron County Historical Society.
The presentation of the donation
brings to $30,000 the donation the
Historical Society has made to the
project. The archives room in the
ntew building will house the
archives collected by Historical
Society volunteers over the years
since the Society was formed in
1964. Everything from old school
records to photographs is included
in the archives collection which
was turned over to the museum last
year after years of the Society
trying to find a proper safe home
for the records.
The new facility provides a
climate-controlled stacks room
with plenty of room for future
expansion and a reading room for
those doing research on family
histories and other projects.
Donation of the $30,000 by the
Historical Society was made possi
ble through a bequest from the late
Elizabeth Osbaldeston in 1982.
The former Goderich township
resident, who lived in Toronto in
lateryears, left the money to be
used for equipment and books for
an archives for the county.
