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.
