Dedication of this paper
This newspaper is dedicated to the
memory of Stuart Collyer and Kristen
Owen whose individual contributions to
life at Lucknow Central Public School will
forever be remembered.
Stuart Collyer spent his 26 years as prin-
cipal of L.C.P.S. giving of himself and
molding a sound educational foundation.
His philosophies will continually be
present.
Kristen Owen's personality, positive
nature, sense of humour and warm, friend-
ly manner are sorrowfully missed. She
brightened classroom activities as well as
athletic endeavours.
The efforts of these individuals will
always be appreciated by L.C.P.S. staff
and students.
The Newspaper Club
I am, a member of the Newspaper Club
and am going to tell you all about it.
Mr. Pike, our leader in the process, told
us how to go about making a paper. We all
had to sell ads to the stores of Lucknow to
sponsor our paper. Then each student was
required to write many articles on high
lights of the school year. These are just a
few of our responsibilities while we were
on the job.
We held regular meetings to organize
our paper. A newspaper took much more
work than 1 ever dreamed. Gathering in-
formation and writing stories made me
feel like a real cub reporter. The work on
this paper taught me cooperation.
I hope you appreciate our paper because
we all really enjoyed printing it for you
and would do it again, any day!

Principal's remarks...
Mini newspaper represents
history of year at LOPS
Dear Readers;
We are excited about the opportunity to
produce our own mini newspaper. On the
following pages, you will find examples of
our students' work, reports from our
special clubs; in fact, a history of our year
at L.C.P.S. A year that has been filled with
joy, sorrow and a growth of unity. We have
amalgamated two schools, flourished in
sports, lost a loved one, and shared 185
days together.
I have combined the study of the
newspaper with Education Week, as a way
to thank the residents of Lucknow and
Area for your support.
The ads that have been done are all
original pictures designed by our students
for some of our local merchants. We would
like to thank these people for supporting
our children as they explore and expand
their creative abilities.
A big thanks has to go the staff of The
Sentinel who have been extremely suppor-
tive, encouraging, informative, and pa-
tient. They have given unselfishly of their
tithe • and supplies. Thanks is also given to
Mrs. Gunter for her typing.
I enjoy Education Week, as a chance to
pause and reflect over the joys of teaching,
learning, and sharing together.
We feel kids are great, and I hope you
take the time to read our poems and
stories and come to know our school a little
better. Each school year is filled with
numerous activities to enhance your
child's educational growth. I'm sure that
everyone reading this newspaper has fond
memories of his/her school days and I
hope that you enjoy the efforts of our
students as we attempt to celebrate
Education Week in a different, yet mean-
ingful way.
Everyone is welcome to come and join
us during our open house on April 30th, or
May lst, and view classes in progress, and
get the feel of education in 87. Hope to ree
you anytime between 9:00 and 3:30 tomor-
row or Friday.

If I were a kite I would...
If I were a kite I might get stuck
I'm a kite.
If I were a kite I would be happy
If I were a kite I would touch the sun
If I were a kite I would be scared
If I were a kite I would touch the grass
If I were a kite I would touch the tree.

If I were a kite I could touch the grass
If I were a kite I could float in the air
If I were a kite I could touch the hydro
lines
If I were a kite I could feel the sun
If I were a kite I could get caught in a tree
If I were a kite I would like to be a kite.

My trip to
kindergarten
The day I went to the Kindergarten room
they were doing all sorts of - different
things. Some of the girls were playing
house and they asked me if I would like a
cup of tea and some crackers. I said
"sure". After I was done there I went to
see what some of the boys were doing.
They were building big buildings and
towns. Then they would crash into them
with their action figures.
When I was there I thought that most of
the children would be playing with the
computer but I was wrong. There were on-
ly t»vo children using it. Most of them were
at the activity centre making chains,
baskets and snowflakes. I went over to
another table where a couple of boys were
playing. They were playing with
plasticine. I asked them what they were
making? They said,` `they were making all
the kinds of food that they could think of".
At that point Mrs. Lash, their teacher
carne in so I left. It was fun seeing how lit-
tle children play.
