HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Lucknow Sentinel, 1987-06-03, Page 16Concert band back home By Megan Johnstone Excited spirits filled the air as the Lucknow 'Concert Band left for a four-day tour to schools in Guelph and Cambridge. After bus difficulties, with a borrowed bus from Listowel, the band was a little late for the first of two morning concerts. Fortunately, the schools were close to one another and were able to combine so all could enjoy the concert. After the afternoon concert, the buses arrived at the Conestoga Inn where the band members stayed for three nights. Everyone enjoyed a swin and shopping at the Fairview Mall. At each concert, band members used props and costumes and did special dances for the enjoyment of the audience. Many teachers and students from the various schools also got involved in some numbers. One band member found out she was allergic to burlap, when she played Tonto in the William Tell Overture. Seven stan- ding ovations, cheers and thunderous ap- plause were much appreciated for the hard work of nine concerts. The Thursday morning concert was very inmportant as Mr. Cayley's young cousin was the music . instructor at the Senior Public School. Everyone played their best to live up to the bragging that had been done about them and the students certain- ly responded. At the end of the day, the band participated in mini -golf, mini go- carts and other activities at Pioneer Sports World. Mr. Cayley's dedication to the band and hard work is appreciated by all.

(Alan Rivett photo) Lucknow -auxiliary holds meeting By Grace Taylor The Evening Auxiliary of the Lucknow Presbyterian Churc:l met in the church hall on May 19 at 8 p.m. Mrs. Jack MacDonald opened the meeting with the following quotation: "I said to the man who stood at the gate of the year, 'Give me a light that I may tread safely into the unknown', and he replied, 'Go out into the darkness and put your hand into the hand of God. That shall be to you better than light and safer than a known way.'" After a hymn was sung, Mrs. Noble Johnston led the members in the medita- tion using St. Luke 10. The story of the Good Samaritan shows compassion and humility. All repeated the WMS Purpose in unison. Seventeen ladies responded to the rollcall by donating $5 each to the Supply and Bale Fund. Mrs. Frank Hawthorne chose Pakistan for the study topic. She touched briefly on the culture, population, religion, military, and politics of that country. Only 11/2 per cent of the population are Christians while 97 per cent lay claim to the Islamic faith. Refugees from South Asia flee to Pakistan which favors the friendship of America as opposed to Russia. This was a most enlightening discussion. A prayer of thankfulness for our country and concerns for immigrants who come to these shores followed the topic. The offering was accepted with the sing- ing of a hymn. The minutes of the April meeting were read and approved. It was decided that the Evening Aux- iliary should accept an invitation to attend the 100th anniversary of the Whitechurch WMS on June 17. The auxiliary will cater to the members of the Presbytery on June 23. Donations of good, clean clothing may be left at the garage at the Presbyterian Manse for the bale by June 1. For a variety number, Mrs. Ross Gam- mie conducted a group singing in two-part harmony of old favorite hymns. Mrs. MacDonald thanked all who had taken part in the meeting and all sang a hymn. The meeting closed with the Mizpah Benediction and a social half-hour was enjoyed. cert tour to Guelph and area.
