Holyrood Happenings BY LYNNE NICOLSON Hello readers, hope every- one has had a fairly ' good week since I was last talking to you. This week has not been very busy around Holyrood. I'll try and make it inter- esting. Probably the most buzzing conversation has been about summer vacation. Kids are looking forward to the last day of school, when they can kick off their shoes and go barefoot. For most it will probably be a well deserved holiday. Marlene Murray, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. D. Murray, Holyrood and Dawn Nicol- son, daughter of `Mrs. A. Nicolson, •loth concession, Holyrood, were participants in their annual piano recital. Marlene who is in grade 6 piano, played, Menuet, Stor- ies of Jesus and also a duet, Dancing Scarlet. Dawn play- ed Fairy Court and a duet called Dixie Doodle. Dawn is in grade 2 in piano. Both are students of Mrs. A. Gamble, Ripley. Kinloss Y C's held a very successful car wash at Holy - rood, Saturday, June 10. They chargeda dollar a car and by the end of the day had a total of $63.00. As usual the busiest period was just before 5 p.m. when it was time to end. People came rushing in to get a last minute wash. Many young- sters from the area were exhausted by the end of the - day, but all felt it was worth the effort. Proceeds go towards ball equipment as mentioned last week. Mrs. J. Hughes from Paisley,' Scotland, is visiting with her daughter, Mrs. A. Nicolson and family. It is not her first time here but she still finds the countryside of Canada pleasant. Mrs. Hughes will be here for 6 weeks. Some from this area at= tended the annual school prom held at F. 'E.
