Project Ripley's Future
On Wednesday, March 2,
1983 the Hanover Post and
Advertiser's News which
reaches over 17,632 horses
had an article headed Pro-
ject Ripley's Future. It was
about the Ripley !High
School. In it Ripley Huron
trustee, on the Bruce County
Board of Education, Mike
Snobelen was reported as
stating that nothing had been
done to the school for 20
years and it should be
housecleaned, updated or
closed. This is an incorrect
statement.
If 20 years are subtracted
from the date given above
for the article you will get
March 2, 1963. Ab Wylds
would like to point out that
the whole new rear part of
the school was built after
that date. One has only to
check with contractor 13urt
Urquhart and his foreman
Art Dunlop, both of Kincar-
dine or teachers Mrs.
Marion 1nterson and Mrs.
Elizabeth Fair, both of
Ripley area who were on the
staff with Ab Wylds then, to
have this fact confirmed.
Then was it not just two
years age, this summer that
the senior science room
where we used to teach was
entirely refitted with • new
laboratory desks. Indeed
there have been many new
things added. So somebody
has not done their
homework.
Instead of attacking the
school it would have been
nice for Mike to point out the
wonderful facilities close at
hand here for physical
education and recreation
such as the, ball park, the
tennis courts and the Ripley
Huron Community ('entre
Complex with its arena. Also
not far away the Ripley Curl-
ing Rink where the high
school student council in my
time at the school, bought
shares in building it and are
now able to arrange for curl-
ing. Turn to page 7®
