Halloween kept students busy
Grade 1 and 2
Mrs. Bell's and Mrs. Black's classes
really enjoyed working together at their
Language Arts Halloween Centres. All the
groups worked so hard and co-operated
well with each other.
We also enjoyed visiting the Nursing
Home on Friday and then returning to the
school and eating our spooky cupcakes
that the baking centre had made during
the week.
Grade 2 and 3
Grades Two and Three were excited
about Halloween Saturday night. We are
also looking forward to the Grade Eight
Halloween Assembly and visiting with
-Pinecrest. We hope everyone had a safe
and happy Halloween.
Elmer treats
.local society
The October meeting of the Lucknow
and District Horticultural Society was held
on the 29th in the Community Centre begin-
ning with a smorgasbord compliments of
Elmer Umbach. Elmer makes a. point of
entertaining the society every year and
those in attendance this year were not
dissapointed.
A short meeting was held following the
delicious meal. Robin Logan welcomed
everyone and the minutes were read and
adopted. Joan Robinson gave a report on
the provincial convention held in Kingston
in June.
It was moved by Mrs. Martin and
seconded by Mr. Logan that Jean Whitby
may purchase 50 trees to be planted
around the village.
After the meeting, a program of enter-
tainment was presented with Elmer as
emcee. Mr. H. Campbell, Jean Conley, Mr.
I. Dickie, Mr. L. McDougall and Miss E.
Robinson entertained all with serveral
musical numbers.
Mr. Logan read two poems and played
three renditions on the mouth organ. Mrs.
B. Henderson followed with piano pieces.
One of the highlights of the program was
the family of Mr. and Mrs. John Drudge of
the Molesworth area who entertained with
the singing of some lovely hymns.
Once again, a big thanks to Elmer for his
participation in the meeting and thanks to
all those who attended the meeting.

Last Saturday, Oct. 31, 1987 Halloween
was a nice evening in this area. Even the
weather was nice, dry underfoot, warm
enough and all around good for travelling
from place to place. It was perfect for the
occasion. The young folks responded to it
having a good time on their rounds gather-
ing their treats and enjoying themselves.
Just overt 40 persons called here, and as in
past years we wrote down their names for
this column. The first were our neighbours
