mentsby, “You Should Have Been
Here Yesterday. ’ ’ Great things
have happened in our memory’s
past, so it was at Emmaus. The
disciples were depressed, nothing
dispelled their gloom. They
thought of yesterday but then
Jesus broke bread and was recog
nized. All things from the past
change, be it mathematics or
gospel songs. We think nothing is
like it used to be. The church is
looked upon as obsolete. Teaching
and life styles belong in the past.
Remember that the life of Jesus
isrecorded in history; the Bible
remains as it was in former days;
God is the God of All; the Living
and the Dead. Think, the church is
the church of “Now”. The spirit of
Jesus is Here, not locked in the
“Past” buthere “Now.” Good
times are not past. This is the best
time of your lives - “Live Now”.
Following the benediction a
social hour with refreshments was
enjoyed in the schoolroom.
NEW TEACHERLAUNCHES
PROJECT
by Nicki Gropp, Grade 8
This year the students and staff
are fortunate to have Mr. Phil
Parsons, our new music teacher.
As well as teaching music Mr.
Parsons is teaching Physical Edu
cation to Grades 1/2 and 7/8, and
remedial studies. Prior to coming
here he taught at Howick Central
School.
He and his family presently
make their home in Gowanstown.
His wife is also a teacher and they
have three children, Brad, Erin
and Brandon.
Afterschool hours, Mr. Parsons
enjoys many activities, such as
restoring antique cars, participat
ing in sports, and of course music.
He likes singing traditional music
in harmony, singing in the church
choir and playing saxaphone and
singing in a band at dances,
weddings, etc.
Mr. Parsons is spearheading a
new project at our school, the
formation of an instrumental music
program for Grades 6-8. He feels
this should be an exciting and
worthwhile venturefor both the
students and the community.
Mr. Parsons says “I have very
much enjoyed the students, teach
ers and atmosphere at Brussels
Public School so far.”
THE BRUSSELS FALL FAIR
by Danielle Cardiff, Grade 8
Last spring every pupil in our
school was busy putting together
examples of their very best work
for the annual Fall Fair. It seems
that this effort really paid off as
many Brussels students were
proud winners.
On fair day the students march
ed from the school to join the
parade at Victoria Park and on to
the Community Centre where we
heard dignitaries welcome us to
the fair. Karla King, Queen of the
Fair, officially opened the festiv
ities.
Some major highlights of the fair
were a great parade, the impres
sive 4-H Club projects and compe
titions, the cattle show and other
livestock shows.
The Brussels Fall Fair was a
great day for everyone.
1987/88 SPORTS PROGRAM
by Krista Hastings, Grade 8
Under the able superivision of
Mr. Prior we again have an active
sports program to offer something
to everyone.
We have begun soccer. Mr.
Prior, with the help of the
computer, selected four teams for
girls and four for boys. Teams
names are: Girls - “The Wildest
Gang”, “High 5’s”, “Nifty Nin-
ers”, and “The Sharp Shooters”;
whiletheboysare “The Psycho
Wierdos”, “The Skulls”, “Legal
Eagles,” and “Awesome 8”.
Later on in the year we will play
volleyball, floor hockey, basket
ball, softball and bordenball.
We are also preparing for
cross-country running by running
daily on a special track laid out by
Mr. Prior. He hopes this will
ensure us a strong cross-country
team to compete at the meet in
Wingham on October 26.
